Chapter 542: Falcon Arraignment
Two years ago, after Yang Guangqin led the hussar battalion out of the pass to attack Yuannina Mountain, he suspected that someone had revealed the news to the Turkic side in advance, and secretly ordered Li Hun to secretly investigate Master Huilin and Yu Xiaoren, who were most likely to leak secrets. www.biquge.info As a result, Li Hun led people to monitor the two of them around the clock for nearly a year, and found no signs of fornication with the Turks.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoren was blessed by misfortune, and since then, he has been regarded as a confidant by Yang Guang.
At this time, listening to Yang Guang's bad rhetoric, he seemed to be quite hostile to Goguryeo, Yu Xiaoren stopped with interest, and didn't dare to say good things for Gao Liansheng anymore.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoren was speechless, Yang Guang slowed down his tone, and then said: "I saw your father in Baidaozhou this time, everything is fine with him, you don't have to worry." When the two princesses met, Sha Bolu Khan asked me to leave Yu Fushu and Mr. Changsun in Zihe Town for a few more days, so that they could be the counsellor at any time, so that your father and son would be reunited, but I am afraid that it will be some time. ”
Yu Xiaoren hugged his fists and thanked Yang Guang: "Thank you for the news that the prince told my father." ”
"Gao Liansheng is not a simple person. When others arrive in Bingzhou, they can still receive messages from Liaodong at any time, which shows that he is by no means just doing business in Chang'an, and it is likely that Goguryeo has placed an important eyeliner in Chang'an, and he has a hidden force in his hands that cannot be underestimated. Yang Guang turned the topic back to Gao Liansheng, stared at Yu Xiaoren meaningfully, and said.
Yu Xiaoren has had a lot of benefits from him since he got acquainted with Gao Liansheng, and Gao Liansheng was introduced to Yang Guang by him, so he didn't want Yang Guang to be hostile to Gao Liansheng. Maybe it's the message through the falcon, not through human power. ”
"Falcon can also be used to deliver messages?" It was the first time Yang Guang had heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help but be interested.
"yes. According to Gao Liansheng, fishermen and hunters in eastern Liaodong rely on domesticated pigeons at home to keep in touch with their families whenever they go to sea and enter the mountains, but after a long time, they find that although pigeons can transmit news over long distances and accurately, their ability to withstand wind and rain is extremely poor, and they often lose their way in stormy weather and lose their news. Later, someone thought of domesticating falcons instead of pigeons to deliver messages, and as a result, falcons and pigeons not only transmit messages over a distance not worse than pigeons, but also falcons are far better at withstanding bad weather such as wind and rain than pigeons. So, gradually, people in the Liaodong area switched to using falcons instead of pigeons to deliver messages. ”
Yang Guang listened attentively to Yu Xiaoren's narration, and asked with a star: "I have led the army to fight against the Turks for many years, how come I have never seen them use falcons to pass books between the two places?" ”
Yu Xiaoren reminded Yang Guangdao with a smile: "Lord Wang, the Turkic territory is not as good as Liaodong, it is not adjacent to the sea, and there are few high mountains, where can it be used to work hard to domesticate falcons to transmit news, and it is enough for them to use cavalry scouts to transmit messages." ”
Yang Guang nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Yu Xiaoren's statement.
"I've been busy arranging the reunion of the two princesses these days, and I haven't had time to talk to you in detail. Today's matter is over, so tell me about the situation of this king's Tuohe Mansion supervising the imitation of chain mail. After a pause, Yang Guang took the initiative to change the topic and instructed Yu Xiaoren.
Hearing Yang Guang ask about his serious messenger, Yu Xiaoren did not dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly cheered up, and replied: "Lord Wang, since the end of that day, I will be ordered by the prince to return to Chang'an with the chain mail offered by Gao Liansheng, and immediately rush to the Taifu Supervision Office to ask for a meeting with the government supervisor He Chou, and explain his intention to him. He Fujian unfolded the chain mail in front of the last general and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and then said to the last general: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin ordered the general to bring chain mail to me, I don't know if I want to imitate the style of this armor to create one for the prince to wear, or to use this armor to equip the whole army?" The last general thought about the prince's intentions at that time, and replied that the prince wanted to use this armor to equip the whole army. After receiving the general's reply, He Fujian frowned and said, "This matter is difficult. If you want to imitate one or two pieces, the lower officials can still try their best, if you want to use this armor to equip the whole army, where do you want the lower officials to find so many craftsmen? The last general did not know what to do, so he asked him for details. According to He Fujian to the last general, the reason why the defense of chain mail is far superior to other armor stomachs lies in its workmanship, and the people who sew the armor stomach need to be densely connected and connected one by one by one, that is, with his own ability, if you want to sew a pair of chain mail as usual, it will take at least thirty or forty days of effort, so it is okay to imitate one or two pieces for the prince and the people close to him to wear, and if you want to equip the whole army with this armor, you must first train hundreds, or even thousands of skilled craftsmen, to be able to do it. According to common sense, it will be at least three years later. ”
"In order to wait for the governor of He Mansion to imitate a piece of chain mail for this king and bring it back to Bingzhou, you only stayed in Chang'an for more than a month, right?" Yang Guang didn't expect that a small pair of chain mail would take a skilled craftsman like He Chou more than a month to sew it to complete, thinking of the past five years ago when He Chou only spent one night to make a Persian brocade robe, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and asked Yu Xiaoren casually.
"Exactly. Only because the prince has a life first, the end of the fate will take the chain mail imitated by the He Mansion Supervisor to return to the state to restore his life, the last general has no choice, so he has to live in Chang'an for more than a month, until the He Mansion Supervisor imitated a pair of chain mail, and then returned to the state with the armor to return to the prince. Yu Xiaoren couldn't understand why Yang Guang asked about living in Chang'an for a while longer, and replied truthfully.
"During your stay in Chang'an, did anything special happen in the court?" Yang Guang asked casually.
Only then did Yu Xiaoren realize that Yang Guang did not want to inquire about the reason for his postponement of his return to the state and reinstatement, but wanted to inquire about the important things that had happened in the DPRK and China recently, so he lowered his head and thought about it, guessing Yang Guang's thoughts and replied: "Not long after the prince left Beijing, there was a big case in the court: Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Shengguo, colluded with the British Gongyu Wenxin and Shu Guogong Liu Yi to plot rebellion, and the emperor exposed the conspiracy of the three in person, and then issued an edict to raid the mansion of the three people, and piled up the three treasures of the confiscated palace outside the Linshu Hall of Daxing Palace. The ministers of the DPRK were ordered to shoot at will as a warning. ”
Haha, I can't imagine that this kid Li Jing has really made a great achievement! Yang Guang was still thinking about Li Jing, who would become a generation of military gods in the future, and looked at Yu Xiaoren silently, waiting for him to continue.
