Chapter 52: Childe wants to eat pigeon meat?
"Childe, the news that Skynet just sent back, ten days ago, Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 troops from Yecheng to the south......"
In the winter of the twenty-first year of Jian'an, at the beginning of November, more than three months after Liu Chan dismissed the plan of the second master to send troops to seize Xiangfan, the second battle between Cao Cao and Sun Quan was also the last southern expedition of his life.
"Hehe, the formation is not small, and it actually brought out all the 'internal army'!"
After taking the secret report that Pang Tong had just deciphered and reading it, he saw that Cao Cao had brought out almost all the most elite middle and middle guards, and Liu Chan, who had already known the results of Cao Cao's southern expedition, couldn't help but shake his head a little playfully.
"If you add the soldiers and horses requisitioned from other places and the defenders in Shouchun, Hefei and other places, Cao Cao will dispatch at least 250,000 soldiers and horses this time. The strength of its troops is no different from that of the Battle of Chibi. Childe should not be careless, in case Sun Quan really surrenders to Cao Cao, then ......"
In view of the previous dissuasion of the second master's Northern Expedition, Liu Chan had said that Sun Quan might surrender, but Pang Tong, as the mastermind, had to think about the matter in advance in case Sun Cao joined forces to attack.
"Hehe, don't worry, as the saying goes, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle. As far as the rats of Jiangdong Junchen are concerned, even if they are worried about the superficial submission of our Jingzhou to Cao Cao, they will not take advantage of Cao Cao's fire when there is no advantage to take advantage of......"
When his own traverser was still in the dormant stage of development, and the 'plot' had not changed greatly because of his appearance, Liu Chan was still very sure of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's next move.
"What we have to do now is to take advantage of this time to continue to accumulate strength, accumulate 'grain and grass', and by the way, just move a small horse to watch the excitement, haha!"
Unlike Pang Tong, Liu Chan, who already knew the result of Sun Cao's 'acting' this time, was not worried at all.
"By the way, did the advisor ever know about a bird called a pigeon?"
In the end, when Pang Tong was still thinking about Sun Cao's possible confluence to attack, Liu Chan, who didn't care much about this, suddenly shifted the topic to the completely irrelevant pigeons.
"Hehe, the pigeon mentioned by Childe is one of the six birds, and it has been a good tonic since ancient times. Since the Qin period, the palace has been widely raised, could it be that the prince wants to eat pigeon meat? ”
Seeing that Liu Chan suddenly shifted the topic from the war to eating, Pang Tong thought that Liu Chan had committed a pig addiction.
"Haha, let's talk about food later, doesn't the military advisor think that our 'Skynet' is too slow to deliver news? It must be known that the military situation is like fire, and it took ten days from Yecheng to Jiangling...... There are so many things that can be done in 10 days, and so many variables that can happen! ”
didn't care about Pang Tong's misunderstanding, Liu Chan, who was still smiling, gradually became solemn as he spoke.
"Childe, the distance from Yecheng to Jiangling is thousands of miles, and it will take ten days to send the news, and they have done their best!"
After hearing Liu Chan's dissatisfaction with the speed of the transmission of the news transmitted by the 'Sky Net', even if Pang Tong, the phoenix chick with excellent wisdom, could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly at this moment.
No way, in this era, the fastest way to deliver news is just a beacon. However, turning off the fire can only be a warning, and it cannot convey complex specific messages.
Therefore, as he said, in this era when the transmission of news is basically dependent on the power of humans and animals, these 'Skynet' agents can transmit the news thousands of miles away in ten days, and they have done their best.
"Of course, the kid knows that they have done their best, but the military situation is like fire, and if it can be delivered a day earlier, it will be able to prepare a day earlier, and the odds of victory will be greater. So why don't we send the news in a different way, like this pigeon! ”
Looking at Pang Tong with a wry smile on his face, Liu Chan smiled and said the reason why he asked him earlier if he knew the pigeon.
"Pigeons? Childe wants to use pigeons to deliver a message? ”
Hearing that Liu Chan actually wanted to use a pigeon to convey the news, Pang Tong's face immediately appeared with a few invisible words of 'whimsy'.
No way, although pigeons have been bred for a long time, they have always been used as meat such as chickens and ducks, who would have thought of using it to deliver messages?
"Haha, looking at the appearance of the military advisor, I'm afraid I don't know that the pigeon has the ability to return to the nest no matter how far away from home, right?"
Looking at Pang Tong's expression of disbelief, Liu Chan couldn't help but laugh proudly.
'It doesn't matter if you are a Wolong or a phoenix, no matter how capable you are, the master will at least have thousands of years of knowledge more than you, hehe! ’
"Homing power? Is Childe's words serious? ”
Although he was still very skeptical about the ability of pigeons to return to the nest from Liu Chan, it did not prevent a smart person like Pang Tong from figuring out the principle.
"Haha, if the military advisor doesn't believe it, can you dare to bet with the kid again?"
can also rely on the extra thousands of years of knowledge to bully and bully Pang Tong Liu Chan, how can he let go of this opportunity to show himself.
"Well, the gambling contract is still over, and I believe that what Childe said is ......"
As the saying goes, a long illness becomes a good doctor, since Jian'an received Liu Chan's warning letter in Luocheng in the nineteenth year, Pang Tong, who has never won a bet in a bet with him, will continue to fall for him and let him succeed.
"Alas, you are boring, the kid was still thinking about waiting for the sergeant to come back......"
Seeing that Pang Tongxue was obedient and refused to be fooled, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a burst of regret.
"Enlightened son, great joy, great joy! Just now, the police sent news from the clippers that Deng Ai and they are back......"
Just when Liu Chan was still regretting that he had not been able to fool Pang Tong, an attendant ran over with a letter in a hurry.
"What, Shizai is back? Quick, show Ben Gongzi! ”
snatched the letter from the attendant's hand, and Liu Chan couldn't wait to open it.
"10,000 Hulinyi rice seeds? I said that this guy has been going for more than half a year, hahahaha, Shizai has made a great contribution! ”
After a few glances at the letter sent back by Deng Ai first, looking at the words 'Ten Thousand Hu' on it, Liu Chan couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
Although 10,000 Hu is not much as food, but as a seed, it is enough for Jingzhou's current fields to be planted and even have a surplus!
As for the rice seeds in the future, there are no seed companies at this time, so the seeds can only be planted for one year.
"Someone came, passed on the order of this son, ordered the county and county chiefs, and ten days later, they discussed matters in the state governor's mansion. If there is an excuse to delay or fail, military law will be engaged! ”
After handing the letter in his hand to Pang Tong, a military division who was also excited, Liu Chan couldn't wait to issue a mandatory order for the governors of all prefectures and counties to come to the governor's mansion for a 'meeting'.
