Chapter 229: The Book of the Flying Harrier
Lai Xing'er saw Jiang Zhongshi running profusely sweating, handed him a square towel to wipe his sweat, and then explained to Qian Dashun: "Since ancient times, there has been a method of flying pigeons in the army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Therefore, I think that at the beginning, the eldest princess of Changning in Chang'an City had just been martyred for the first emperor, and only a few days later, Luo Qi, who was 8,000 miles away from Chang'an, got the news that Nasimo was able to send people to house arrest the delegation without the mission being aware and unguarded.
Nowadays, the Tibetan people occupy thousands of miles of land in the western frontier, and if we want to make a difference under their noses, the first thing we must solve is how to quickly and accurately transmit information between our various strongholds, and I thought of this method. ”
"But, brother, I don't quite understand. Since pigeons are the best choice for conveying messages in terms of domestication and staying power, why would you want to abandon pigeons and choose to use domesticated harrier eagles to deliver messages? Qian Dashun asked puzzled.
Lai Xing'er first reached out and patted Jiang Zhongshi's shoulder, comforting him: "It's really hard for you these days. ”
Then, he explained to Qian Dashun: "The Tubo people are experts in using flying pigeons to pass on books, if we use domesticated flying pigeons to transmit news on this unconcealed prairie, it is not only very easy to be detected by the Tubo army guarding Liangzhou City, but also is likely to be used by them, and in turn, with the help of flying pigeons, they deliberately transmit false information to the various branches who are willing to serve the imperial court, thus bringing disaster to the brothers." Half a year ago, when I was on an errand in Yanying Palace, I heard Mr. Liu Yi and Lord Wei Chang talk about the ancient method of using soldiers, and vaguely remembered that Mr. Liu Yi had mentioned that at the beginning of the dynasty, the Turks said that they had used the method of domesticating flying harriers to transmit military reports between two armies thousands of miles apart. Before I came to the eldest brother's camp, I noticed that on this endless prairie, the harrier eagle is the most common kind of flying bird, if you can domesticate the harrier eagle to transmit information, the concealment is very good, so a few days ago I secretly asked the little stone to catch two harrier eagles to try it. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, they could really use the Flying Harrier to transmit messages within a range of 200 miles, which was really a great joy! ”
After hearing this, Qian Dashun nodded again and again and sighed: "I don't admit that I have only been in the Luoqi Pavilion with my brother for a few months, and my brother's speech and demeanor are even inferior to General Zhang back then." After saying this, he immediately realized that he had lost his words, and glanced at Lai Xing'er uneasily.
Lai Xing'er didn't mind Qian Dashun comparing himself with Zhang Liang, but when Qian Dashun mentioned his experience in the past few months, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said to Qian Dashun: "Regarding the various incidents that my brother and I have experienced in the past few months, I will slowly talk about it and listen to it with my eldest brother when I am free in the future." The most urgent thing at the moment is to know the exact time and place of the Living Buddha of Tibet preaching in Liangzhou as soon as possible, so that we can move with our cameras. This matter is going to bother you, big brother, you have to think about it a little more. ”
Qian Dashun listened to what he said, and guessed in his heart that in the past few months when he broke up with him, Lai Xing'er must have experienced many ups and downs and tribulations, otherwise he would never have become so calm and decisive. Lai Xing'er thought of himself again, and now he will not be confused, he is still doing nothing, compared with the little crazy friend in front of him, it is a world of difference, so he is more determined to follow Lai Xing'er to do a great job in Liangzhou. At this moment, hearing Lai Xing'er give him a military order, Qian Dashun hurriedly clenched his fists and responded: "Everything is up to your lordship." Dashun will try to find out the time and place of his preaching and preaching before the living Buddha of Tubo arrives in Liangzhou, so as to gain more time for the adults to dispatch troops. ”
Seeing that he answered formally, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but laugh and joke with him: "Captain Qian, how many soldiers and horses have you brought me?" With only two or three hundred people, how can they be used against the four thousand elite Scorpion Army of Tubo in Liangzhou City? Big brother, you have misinterpreted my intentions, with these individuals and horses that we have won so far, at best, they can only make trouble and stumble for the Tubo people in secret, if we want to really fight them on the battlefield, we also need to win more local Han people to join our team. You just need to find out the time and place of the living Buddha of Tibet preaching in Liangzhou as soon as possible, as for how to act and arrange at that time, and then we will discuss it together, how about it? ”
Qian Dashun was blushing by him, and he argued unwillingly: "Brother, don't you think that there are few people in us right now." At the Liangzhou meeting today, I have secretly explained to the four or five ministers who are willing to serve the imperial court, and they also said that in less than a month or two, they will contact more people to join our team, according to my estimates, at least thousands of people can be gathered under your brother's command, and my brother no longer has to worry about people. ”
When Lai Xing'er heard this, he was greatly moved, grabbed Qian Dashun's hand, and said gratefully: "Big brother, my brother came to Liangzhou this time, and he will do a good job in the future, big brother, you are the first to do it." If I can really recruit a team of thousands of people in three or two months, I will definitely make the Tubo people not live a day of peace in the western Xinjiang prefectures, so that Chang'an Shu can have no worries. ”
Jiang Zhongshi listened happily, and also interjected: "Give me another month or two, Guan Bao can domesticate the harrier eagle and return to Chang'an to deliver our message in Liangzhou to the emperor." At that time, let's copy the same time when we were in Chang'an before, give the Tubo people a good time, and drive them all back to their hometowns, okay? ”
Lai Xing'er listened to him lightly, and did not take the various difficulties he was facing seriously, so he deliberately reprimanded him with a straight face: "If everything in this world is as simple as you say, why do I need you to go to great lengths to domesticate the harrier eagle to deliver the message. You don't have to worry about anything else, just domesticate a dozen or twenty harrier eagles that can convey messages eight hundred miles away within two months, and when you return to Beijing in the future, you will have a share of the credit. Let's go down and rest if you have nothing to do, and don't talk so nonsense and have the intention of belittling the enemy. ”
Jiang Zhongshi originally came to Xing'er in a hurry to report the good news of the flying harrier's book, but he didn't expect that he had only opened his mouth to say a few words, so he was trained for no reason, his head fell in an instant, and he muttered in his mouth: "I don't want credit, but if you fight with the Tubo people with a knife and a gun, you have to take me."
