"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never makes a loss-making business, so it's definitely not just to send this thing, right?"

Han Xin stared at Cao Shen and asked with a smile.

"Hey, hey! Lao Han is worthy of being the person who follows His Royal Highness the Prince, and he really understands His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Huh? Could it be that there really is another purpose? ”

As soon as Cao Shen's voice fell, Wang Li and the others suddenly became interested.

"That's right! You have been away from Xianyang for a month or two, and there has been no news, and the whole court is in a hurry, so I have sent me to deliver supplies, and to investigate your situation, and return to the court, so that Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured! ”

has been guessed, Cao Shen no longer teased them, and opened his mouth seriously.

"There is no way, we encountered wind and waves at sea, and we were delayed for a long time, and after arriving at the Peacock Dynasty, there was no proper way to deliver the news, so it was delayed! I want to take down the entire territory of the Peacock Dynasty and report it back to Xianyang! ”

"When we met the admiral in Kalinga, we already passed the news back to your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"How many ships have you sent back?"

However, as soon as he heard this, Han Xin immediately frowned.

If only one or two ships are sent back, it will be a long way, and they are worried about what risks they will encounter at sea.

But if there are too many of them, when the war is over, where will these prisoners go?

His change of face also confused Cao Shen.

"You may not know, this time there are a lot of prisoners, I'm afraid that there won't be enough ships when I turn back!"

"I see!"

Counselor Cao breathed a sigh of relief and joked with them again, "Don't worry, when you were not in Xianyang, I learned a new skill from His Royal Highness the Prince, called Qianli Sound Transmission...... Forehead...... No, it's called Wanli Transmission, and you don't need to send a ship back, you have already delivered the news back! ”

"Nonsense, how can this be ......?"

Peng Yue glanced at him and sneered, "What about you as an apprentice of an immortal?" Still thousands of miles of sound? ”

"Could it be that the telegraph was successfully developed?"

Han Xin's eyes lit up.

Before they even set out on the expedition, they had heard about the telegraph.

Now Cao Shen said that he had already passed the news back without sending any ship, so wasn't the telegraph successfully developed?

"Haha! A few of you learn a little, look at General Han, his brain is faster than yours! ”

Cao Shen laughed playfully.

"Alright, pull it down, quickly move the telegraph and we'll see!"

Hearing the sound, everyone can't wait to see what this so-called thing that can transmit sound for thousands of miles looks like.

"What else are you moving? It's already here! ”

"Already here? Where? ”

Wang Li and the others looked around, but after looking around, they didn't find anything that looked like high-tech.

"Okay, Lao Cao, don't sell it, tell us quickly, where is the thing that can transmit sound for thousands of miles?"

Peng Yue, Fan Hao and others were in a hurry, and asked urgently.

"Isn't that there?"

Cao Shen casually pointed to the two things that looked like small iron boxes at the door.

"What? You told me that this bit of broken copper and iron can transmit sound for thousands of miles? ”

Knowing that the two boxes that were casually placed at the door were telegraphs, Peng Yue and the others almost dropped their jaws in shock.

If they don't say it, they can use it as a night pot at night!

"You really don't underestimate these two little iron boxes, just because of them, the ministers of the DPRK and China snatched their heads, and the six Shangshu all found excuses to install them, and they almost didn't fight!"

"What? Just for those two iron boxes? ”

"That's right! It's really just for those two iron boxes! ”

Cao Shen nodded firmly.

"Yo? Then I'll have to take a good look! ”

Hearing the sound, Fan Xu, Wang Li and others picked up the box, looked at it carefully for a long time, and were stunned to see any doorway.

Even Han Xin shook his head again and again, completely unaware of how this thing delivered the message!

"You say...... This thing can't fly and fly back to Daqin, right? ”

"Well, it's possible, I guess the mechanism is on top of these buttons!"

As soon as several people put together, they reached out to pull the button on it.

"Don't move......!"

However, before they could do anything, they were stopped by Cao Shen's drinking order.

Several people were startled and looked at him with blinking.

"Don't move around, this telegraph needs to be operated by a specialist, even I can't, if it is broken, I can't explain it when I go back!"

Cao Shen said seriously.

"What? What do you mean, can this thing really send news back? ”

Cao Shen slapped his head helplessly.

He has been talking about his feelings here for a long time, but these guys still don't believe it!

"It's not just about delivering the news, it's about being instantaneous!"

"What are you kidding? Instantaneous? Even if this thing could fly, it wouldn't be possible! ”

Everyone pouted.

"Don't believe me?"

"I don't believe it!"

"Then I'll show you a demonstration, just enough to report the progress of the battle to Your Majesty!"

Cao Shen's men called the telegraph operator.

After a few moments, the telegraph operator went into the house, dealt with the locusts that covered his body, found a stable place, and began to tinker with the telegraph!

"General Han, take advantage of the debugging time, hurry up and write down the battle on a piece of paper, and hand it over to the telegraph operator later!"

Cao Shen looked at Han Xin.

"Well, good!"

Although Han Xin didn't know how this thing delivered the message, he still answered and went to find paper and pen.

After a while, the machine had been debugged, and then it turned back, and wrote three pieces of paper full of joy, recording the war of the Mauryan Dynasty on it!

When he handed the paper to the telegraph operator, the telegraph operator immediately looked at him with confused eyes, and did not dare to answer it at all.

"Hahaha! Good guys, what are you kid writing here? ”

Cao Shen laughed.

"What? Is there anything wrong? ”

Han Xin looked confused.

Even Wang Li and others around him were very puzzled.

They have been out for so long, and a lot of things have happened, and it is already very concise to be able to write these things on these three pieces of paper, why do you still say that he is writing articles?

"Hahaha! My General Han, you better keep it streamlined and streamlined, remove all the useless things, and summarize them in the least amount of language! ”

"Then you kid didn't say it earlier?"

Han Xin gave him a blank look, turned around and went back to write.

This time it was fast, just a moment later, turning back, blowing the ink on the paper!

"Your Majesty, everything is going well with the army, it has broken through four cities in a row, defeated the Mauryan Dynasty's million troops, 10,000 elephant troops, and captured 300,000!"

Cao Shen looked at the content on the paper and nodded again and again, "Well, it's almost the same this time!" Those detailed processes, when I return to Xianyang, it is not too late to report to Your Majesty! ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's see, how the hell did this thing get this piece of paper to Xianyang?"

Peng Yue urged impatiently.

"The telegraph does not send the paper to Xianyang, but transmits the words on it!"

"Words?"

As soon as Cao Shen explained this, everyone didn't understand it even more.

"Okay, you just look at it, anyway, you don't understand if you talk too much!"

Just as when the telegraph was first tested, none of the Manchu civil and military forces believed it.

It can be seen that after the actual operation, aren't all of them called good guys?

When they receive His Majesty's reply, they will be shocked!

"Didi...... Didi ......"

After the paper was handed over to the telegraph operator, the two men began to get to work.

The small box also made a sound.

Han Xin, Wang Li and the others stared at the machine intently, for fear that they would miss something in the blink of an eye.

However, the telegraph operator only pressed on it a few times, and after a few sounds from the machine, there was no movement!

"General, the telegram has been sent!"

The telegraph operator arched his hand towards several men.

"What? This...... That's it? ”

Several people suddenly showed an incredulous gaze.

"That's right! Finished! ”

Cao Cao nodded firmly.

Looking at their expressions now, it seems that they have seen themselves at the beginning!

Like a fool, with that unbelievable expression!

"Lao Cao, I don't read much, don't lie to me?"

"Whether I'm lying to you or not, you'll find out later!"

Cao Shen pinched his chin and looked at several people with confused expressions with interest.
