"What happened?" Yun Ting noticed Lu Bu's departure, and knew that something should have happened, and he still left with the cavalry, which further confirmed Yun Ting's guess. So he came to Zhang Liao and asked out loud.

"Nothing." Zhang Liao replied, swallowed the dry food in his mouth, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then continued: "Even if there is anything, it is a small matter, so don't care. ”

Zhang Liao didn't say much, and Yun Ting didn't ask much, he knew that in the land of Bingzhou, and even in the Xianbei grassland, it was true that anything that happened to Lu Bu became a trivial matter. Even if someone really hits Lu Bu with the idea, in the end, it will be a tiger's mouth and a painful lesson.

"Huh?" Yun Ting suddenly let out a questioning sound, and when he looked up, he saw a flying carrier pigeon.

Could it be that something happened? Otherwise, at this time, no one should write to him. With doubts in his heart, Yun Ting stretched out his hand, and the carrier pigeon circled, and finally landed on the back of his hand. The pigeon's paws clawed at the flesh, slightly painful, but it couldn't attract too much attention from Yun Ting.

"Oh? Homing pigeon? ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again. It's just that the speed of eating dry food slows down, and the eyes are staring straight at the carrier pigeon.

This way of transmitting information is very envious of the people in their army, and they still use people to transmit intelligence and news. On the steppe, it was different, and some had learned to use the eagle to detect the enemy's movements, a method that the state army had always wanted to obtain. However, there are few eagles, and all that can be owned are only a few tribes on the grassland, and the difficulty of domestication and capture is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. So after a long time of exploration and temptation, the state army has given up this attempt.

Zhang Liao knew that this was a carrier pigeon, a domesticated animal unique to players, and he didn't know how these players got it, but any general would be keenly aware of its role in war after seeing it! Yes! Beacon transmission, the speed is relatively fast, but it can only be used for alarm, messenger transmission, the speed is too slow, generally speaking, urgent letter or 800 miles of urgency, on the road post station has to change a horse, otherwise no matter how good the horse will be tired alive.

Zhang Liao looked at the carrier pigeon in Yun Ting's hand, and thought deeply, in fact, in the state city, they did buy a few from the player, but then they didn't know why they died (the system will be cleaned up in half a month). In this way, Zhang Liao's thoughts were cut off, but at this time, he suddenly thought about it, what if it was domestication? Even if he can't domesticate it now, as long as someone continues, then one day, there will always be carrier pigeons that can be domesticated successfully and used as military use. At that time, the cavalry will be able to really come and go like the wind, get information in a timely manner, and no longer lose synchronization with friendly forces.

Zhang Liao's eyes were blazing, and he thought of a place far away, if the Han-Hun War and the Western Desert were in the west, the flying general Li Guang had carrier pigeons as contact with friendly troops, then he would not have lost his way, delayed the military situation, and even died of depression in the end. If, unfortunately there is no if...... Zhang Liao sighed, he didn't believe in ifs, there were only two most direct results.

"What is Wen Yuan thinking?" Yun Ting got the carrier pigeon, but he didn't immediately untie the small letter box tied to his feet, but set his eyes on Zhang Liao. He watched Zhang Liao's face turn from sunny to cloudy, and then slightly depressed, and turned into a trace of melancholy. It was hard to imagine that Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan would have so many rich expressions in an instant, so Yun Ting even lost a lot of thoughts about reading the letter.

As his eyes fell, Yun Ting saw Zhang Liao staring at the carrier pigeon parked on the back of his hand, and knew what he was thinking. In fact, in the near future, the convenience services belonging to the players will be eliminated, such as carrier pigeons and post stations, and at that time, the transmission of information between players will be slow, and it will become the same as that of the aborigines.

It wasn't until a long time later, when the time period really entered the herd of cocks, that the carrier pigeon might appear. At that time, the war was probably fought as an information war, and whoever could get the information would be able to grasp the opportunity and gain the initiative.

Zhang Liao smiled awkwardly, and did not shy away from pointing at the carrier pigeon in Yun Ting's hand, and said, "I was thinking that this carrier pigeon could be used as a military use." ”

Yun Ting bowed his head and replied, "Yes, carrier pigeons can indeed be used for military purposes." ”

"It's just that it takes a long time of domestication and training to be able to train qualified military carrier pigeons." Yun Ting paused, and then said, "It's just that there are a lot of ungraspable things in it, and sometimes it not only doesn't promote the battle situation, but it will bring great consequences. ”

"What?" Zhang Liao heard it, and his mouth opened wide at this moment, and his face was surprised. He didn't think about it that much, but when he heard Yun Ting say this, he subconsciously thought about it.

"Pigeons are also delayed, and sometimes in bad weather or rainstorms, their speed will drop a lot."

"Nope." Zhang Liao immediately retorted, he shook his head, and said: "The speed of the messenger in the army is also reduced in this kind of weather, and there are also physical limitations, and in many pre-historical records, there is no shortage of cases of running dead people and horses. ”

"But, after all, people are controllable, but carrier pigeons are not. Not to mention the practical application in the grassland, let's just say that it is used in ordinary times, hunted by other birds of prey, and hunted by ordinary people, so that it is impossible for information to be transmitted. Not to mention, when the information transmitted by oneself is leaked and conveyed to the other party, then it will be a disaster. Yun Ting said.

He is not exaggerating at all, carrier pigeons are relatively fast, but in practice, they are much more dangerous. In previous lives, there was no shortage of forces that passed on military information, and carrier pigeons were captured, or died for some other reason, and at that time it was a big joke to say that the military information you wanted to convey could still reach the people you wanted to reach. Moreover, for the hidden spy points underground, every process of releasing carrier pigeons is a process of exposing oneself, and it is very likely that others will lock the position and thus uproot it.

"What's more, if there is really such a fast way to transmit military information, but the military situation is changing rapidly, and there will be some military orders abroad, once you want to accept it? When the time comes, it will be a sin to defeat the war, and it will be a great sin to win the battle and not obey the military orders! Yun Ting hit the nail on the head to point out a key issue that may or may not arise.
