Chapter 60: Hot Air Balloons
The hot air balloon finally flew, but it didn't fly very high, and it was firmly tied by a rope underneath, making it look like a balloon in the hands of a child in later generations, and every time the wind blows, the big ball in the air and the basket under the big ball will continue to shake from side to side.
Zhang Liao was very excited, Cao Ang's eyes were also red, as for Jia Xu and others, everyone was extremely excited, and now everyone was very satisfied, only the soldiers in the hot air balloon basket were almost scared to pee, and they were grabbing the handrails of the basket with both hands, and they were almost about to break the handrails.
Yuan Yun looked at the hot air balloon swaying from side to side, sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "It seems that it is necessary to install a seat belt in this basket, and the scouts on it must be bolted. ”
"This is easy to do, as long as the soldiers above are tied to it, anyway, they are also scouting, and they don't care at every turn." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he began to direct his guards again, preparing to lift the other two into the air as well, and he was now eager to see what it felt like for three of these huge spheres to float.
Yuan Yun simply sneered at Cao Ang's nostrils, he didn't plan to just let the soldiers on these hot air balloons investigate, and they must be equipped with gunpowder bombs and explosives packs later, how could this kind of air strike force only be used for sentry?
But there is no need to tell Cao Ang about these things, as long as this kind of thing can be bombed in the air in the future, the other party will be happy to accept it all, at present, as long as the three hot air balloons can be successfully lifted into the air, and then fall smoothly, it will be done.
People can't be too greedy, can they?
Yuan Yun muttered, and then asked Cao Ang: "Dianman went to Karasuma's side, now as long as there is some news, I sent him so many carrier pigeons, and I don't see him use it much, this bastard boy." ”
Cao Ang heard Yuan Yun say this, just smiled, and then took out a superstitious letter from his arms, although there were only some homely chatter sentences written on it, but Yuan Yun could see something else from it, this kind of secret letter written in Morse code, at present, only Cao Ang, Xu Yi, Dian Man, Xiahou Nan, and he Yuan Yun can understand.
Thinking of the hard years of teaching them to know those English alphabets and Chinese pinyin, Yuan Yun couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and after looking at the letter, Yuan Yun searched slightly in his mind, and was stunned.
It turns out that Dianman on the way to Karasuma, actually got acquainted with Tian Chou, this is a great merit, the original history records that Cao Cao because of Tian Chou's help, only to re-plan the route of the crusade against Karasuma, so he chose a secret road to go straight to Karasuma's base camp, and before he could react, he annihilated them all, and finally achieved a great victory in the Northern Expedition.
Now that Tian Chou has shown his face, it is necessary to bring this person to Cao Ying, Yuan Yun thought so, and returned the letter to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang didn't pick up the letter again, but put it on the fire rack on the side and burned it, and then said: "Brother Yun went to crusade against the northern Karasuma this time, and he must get in touch with Dianman, this kid is now very good in the territory of Karasuma, and now he is already the ten Yong in the tent of the building, but ...... Ha ha. ”
Cao Ang suddenly laughed halfway through his words, Yuan Yun was inexplicable when he heard it, and could only look at each other with a puzzled expression.
After Cao Ang had laughed enough, he touched his head and said: "Dian Man sacrificed a lot this time, in order to pretend to be a Hu man from the Western Regions, he even cut off his hair, and now he is also combing a strange-looking whip, plus his skin has always been very dark, so how do you look like those barbarians." ”
Yuan Yun sighed secretly, Dianman is really hard enough, this era is very resistant to haircuts, it feels like cutting off a head, and Dianman did it without hesitation in order to achieve the task, and he can't do it without admiration.
"The news that our army is preparing to crusade against Karasuma, Noriman should know about it, right?" Yuan Yun asked again.
Cao Ang nodded, and then exclaimed: "Those carrier pigeons that Brother Yun got can fly thousands of miles away in one day, and our correspondence with Dianman has always been very smooth, but this kid is very cautious and will never write back easily." ”
Yuan Yun has only now brought the topic to Lou Ban Shan Yu, this so-called Shan Yu has always existed as a puppet of Bun Dun before, after the death of Qiu Liju, the leader of the three counties of Karasuma, the king of Liaoxi Karasuma, because his son Lou Ban is still young, he was replaced by his nephew Bun Dun, who is quite martial, and the three kings are in charge, and later because the three Karasuma are watching, so Bun Dun was forced to put it on the throne, but all the rights of the general leader still refused to let go.
Now that Dianman is mixed in this person's account, it's a little interesting, I just hope that Dianman won't still be that brainless, now it's obvious that he can use this puppet, and then achieve a lot of purposes.
"How long can this thing stay in the air?" Suddenly, Cheng Yu's voice came out, obviously he couldn't sit still, so he didn't care whether Yuan Yun was talking to Cao Ang or not, so he walked over directly and interjected.
Yuan Yun heard Cheng Yu ask, and then looked up at the hot air balloon in the sky, and then replied: "As long as the fuel installed on it is sufficient, it can keep floating like this, I estimate that it should not be difficult to float for more than half a day, after all, the weight is small now, and the consumption is small." ”
Cheng Yu smashed his lips in surprise, and immediately asked, "Yuan Hou will go to the north this time, will he bring this kind of ball?" ”
Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Naturally, I will bring it, this crusade against Karasuma, we will not only have to cross the grassland, but also cross the desert, with this sharp weapon floating in the air to investigate, I can rest assured." ”
Cheng Yu hurriedly continued: "This is very good, once we decide to crusade against Karasuma, then the strangeness of the road is the biggest obstacle, the enemy can be ambushed anytime and anywhere, with this treasure, we should be able to worry-free." ”
After speaking, Cheng Yu smiled heartily and continued: "Yuan Hou is really a genuine child of the fairy family, from the road to the water to swim, and now there are flying in the sky, everything can be made, it is simply a means of immortals."
The old man is now beginning to wonder what kind of powerful appearance the so-called tank is, and I really wish that this crusade against Karasuma could be done immediately, haha. ”
Looking at Cheng Yu's stunned appearance, Yuan Yun could only laugh dryly, which could be regarded as a response, after all, these high-tech things, according to the current understanding of people, are indeed immortal means, and his identity as a god stick is estimated to be impossible to get rid of in his lifetime.
Unlucky!
Soon the other two hot air balloons also rose into the air, and this time the soldiers on it had already learned from the past, so they really tied themselves to the hanging basket as Cao Ang said, so then they were at least safe except for the horror.
The hot air balloon performance lasted until the afternoon, and Yuan Yun was going to accept it at lunchtime, but under Zhang Liao's repeated requests, he could only choose to let it go, and let it float in the air for a long time, which completely satisfied the bloody nature of this martial artist.
After returning to Luoyang, Cao Ang held a meeting again, this time he subdivided all the follow-up arrangements, and also took a group of staff to study the situation on Karasuma's side, which was done in the second half of the night, and when Yuan Yun finally got on the frame and returned home, the sky was already white.
Entering the Yuan Mansion, before Yuan Yun returned to the study, he saw Zhuge Liang sitting in the pavilion in the front yard with a feather fan and drinking tea, and he was still playing the guqin, looking very fairy-like.
Yuan Yun rubbed his temples, then sat down, took a sip of the tea handed by Zhuge Liang, and then said with a wry smile: "You play the piano here in the middle of the night, and you are not afraid of arguing that others will not be able to sleep." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled, slid the strings casually, and a low syllable floated out, and he said: "The lord said before that Liang's talent must have greater achievements, and in the past few days, Liang has repeatedly studied the maps given by the lord, and only then did he find that Liang in the past was really a frog at the bottom of the well, and this world is not just the Central Plains......"
"Speak human words!" Yuan Yun was very sleepy now, and he really didn't want to talk to Zhuge Liang about anything like that, so he interrupted directly.
Zhuge Liang was not embarrassed, and took out a topographic map of Karasuma's side, and then said with a smile: "If Cao Sikong sends troops to attack Karasuma this time, we will not occupy almost the same regardless of the time and place or people, and this battle will be difficult." ”
Yuan Yun held his chin and asked directly, "Does Kong Ming think that we will definitely lose?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled again, then shook his head and said: "No, it's because we don't occupy any of these three things, but we have great benefits, because since we can think of this, then Badun, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi must also think so, so they won't be on guard at all, which gives us the best opportunity to hit them by surprise." ”
Yuan Yun was instantly energetic, sure enough, these wise men through the ages are not simple, Zhuge Liang's thoughts at the moment coincide with Guo Jia's thoughts in history, and this crusade against Karasuma, the biggest advantage is that the other party will not be guarded.
Zhuge Liang saw that Yuan Yun finally concentrated his attention, so he continued: "Liang has carefully looked at the terrain over there, if Cao Sikong sends troops, he will inevitably go to Wuzhong County in Beiping, but according to Liang's estimate, it was summer at that time, and it was bound to rain heavily in the north, and the road must be very difficult to walk, and the two armies will inevitably face each other somewhere, so it is just a consumption of grain and grass, so we must find a new way to succeed, otherwise this battle will be lost, however, the map given by the lord is not very detailed, and some even have mistakes, This really made Liang anxious, and he couldn't sleep all night. ”
Yuan Yun sighed, and then said with a smile: "Then now Kong Ming, you can go back to sleep with peace of mind, because the person who led us the way has been found, and there is absolutely nothing missing about the terrain over there, with him to take refuge, what kind of ancient roads, secret passages, and sewers can be found." ”
After speaking, Yuan Yun stood up directly, and then stretched his waist greatly, and just as he was about to return, Zhuge Liang immediately asked, "Who is so powerful?" ”
Yuan Yuntou replied without replying: "Tian Chou, Tian Zitai." ”
