Regarding the situation that Li Quan complained.

Cao Ang was not surprised.

He entrusted the method of pigeon breeding to Wang Yue, after all, not much time had passed.

Even if it is a new generation of carrier pigeons according to a month, it will be at least a few months older than it is to be able to bear the responsibility of conveying the message.

In addition, in the process of cultivation and evolution, there will definitely be a failure rate and a loss rate, so it is normal for the overall number to be scarce.

As for the loss and delay of carrier pigeons in the process of traveling between the two places, this is also within the acceptable range of Cao Ang.

Carrier pigeons, no matter how powerful and multi-functional, they can't be separated from the essence of birds.

There are many apex predators in the sky, and occasionally there are a few pigeons that are unlucky and encounter natural predators or apex predators, which is also a normal loss.

Therefore, after Li Quan's voice fell.

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that Qingzhou has been pacified for our army, all kinds of situations will be in the hands of our army, and the opportunities for using carrier pigeons for communication will certainly be greatly reduced."

"And the number of pigeons is only temporary, and in the next few months, the situation will definitely be much better, and then you will definitely be much richer."

Hear that.

Li Quan immediately bowed to Cao Ang.

He said respectfully: "Thank you for the general's guidance, my subordinates understand!" ”

…………

After a general understanding of the development of strategic-level weapons, Cao Ang didn't say anything more, but turned around and sat down at the table.

He casually removed a small letter from the pigeon's foot, and after confirming that the fire paint seal on it was intact and had not been dismantled by others on the way.

When the mailbox is about to be opened.

took out a roll of cloth hidden in it, unfolded it and spread it in the palm of his hand, and a few lines of text suddenly appeared in front of Cao Ang's eyes.

The next second.

His face changed slightly.

This is a piece of information from Chang'an!

It is not so much the news from Dongjun as it is that Dongjun is used as a transit point, and the real starting point is Chang'an, the western capital occupied by Dong Zhuo.

The reason why Cao Ang is so determined.

It was entirely because on this strip of cloth he saw a small, but incomparably complete mark, one that he knew very well.

It was the person named Wu An who he sent to Chang'an to carry out a secret liaison mission, and before he left, Cao Ang gave him this seal.

This is the only one, and there is nothing else to spare.

And the handwriting on the letter, Cao Ang looked at it and felt a little familiar, if there was no mistake in his memory, this letter should have been written by his good brother, that is, Lu Bulu Fengxian.

It was written by Lu Bu himself, and then Wu An used the seal as a certificate, and then sent it through the channel of the shadow guard, and under the confirmation of the three parties, the credibility was full.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Cao Ang bowed his head slightly and shifted his gaze to the specific content.

At a glance.

His eyes narrowed.

…………

"The situation in Chang'an has completely collapsed so far, and there are frequent chaos in the Xiliang Army, and the officers and colonels at all levels from top to bottom are no longer able to suppress ordinary soldiers, and the sense of restlessness is becoming more and more excessive."

"Dong Gong has lived in Yiwu for a long time, and he has not shown up for more than a month, even if he is a cronie such as Li Wenyou, it is difficult to see him."

"The number of times that Guanzhong has issued a lot of money has far exceeded the previous scale, and it has caused a large-scale circulation in the army, and the people are officials and soldiers, and the riot is probably only in the mite!"

As Cao Ang continued to read the letters.

A lot of information flooded into my mind.

Cao Ang's eyes also slowly widened, and his eyes began to flash with a different look, and his brows were also unconsciously stirring, obviously surging in his heart.

The speed of the thunder explosion over there was really fast enough.

Although according to the last intelligence transmission, the land of Guanzhong has already become a mess of cotton, and the collapse of Xiliang Group is also expected.

But this speed is still a little faster than Cao Ang imagined, and he is still in Qingzhou now, and Chang'an can't hold on.

Dong Zhuo is hiding in the Hewu, and it is now a rare appearance in more than a month, and without him as the spiritual pillar of the entire Xiliang Army, suppressing and stabilizing people's hearts, the situation of the army can be imagined.

Add to that the explosion of monetary policy.

Inferior and hollow, but it circulated in the market and even in the army, serving as a coin for the payment of military salaries to soldiers.

The consequences are as serious as you can imagine.

And that's not all.

Cao Ang continued to look at the content that followed.

…………

"A few days ago, the men and horses under the command of Brother Fool were lucky enough to intercept the messenger sent by the Son of Heaven to Chang'an secretly to ask for help from the East and the West, and the Son of Heaven of the Liu family has decided to break away from Dong Zhuo's control, find a strong and powerful force, and rescue him."

"And as far as I know, the surrounding area of Guanzhong is now extremely unstable, and Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in the Xiliang area are ready to move, and they have repeatedly violated the border."

"In my brother's opinion, Chang'an is now untenable, even if there are hundreds of stories and thousands of feet, they will also turn into dust overnight and collapse."

"Although the foolish brother is a person under the command of Dong Gong, but he does not have to sink under the water with the Xiliang army, and the brother has always heard that the virtuous brother is now on the side, and there are elite soldiers and good generals under his command, and there are countless warriors.

"At that time, the foolish brother was willing to serve the virtuous brother as the master, and set a general for the virtuous brother, ride the horse and drive forward, let it be driven, and hope that the virtuous brother will come early, don't delay the good time!"

A lot of words.

It was enough to roll up and roll this strip of cloth to carry so many words.

But the same.

The more content of the text, the more information it carries, and this letter written by Lu Bu and sent from Chang'an allowed Cao Ang to understand what the current situation in the Guanzhong area is in a very short time.

First of all, the Son of Heaven privately sent people to ask for help from various forces, and this information alone was enough to explode.

The Son of Heaven mentioned here is naturally the little doll that Dong Zhuo brought to Chang'an, that is, Liu Xie, who has always been regarded as a real puppet by all parties.

Whether it is Dong Zhuo himself, or the ministers of the court, or even local princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they have never taken this seriously.

After all, the puppet attribute is too strong.

Even the matter of ascending to the throne itself is fully controlled by Dong Zhuo, and Liu Xie's representative is not the Han family at all, nor is it the clan surnamed Liu, but Dong Thief.

But no one expected it.

Although this little brother is young, he is quite old-fashioned, and he is very decisive in his actions, and he is very good at finding opportunities.

It is estimated that he also learned about the current situation in the Guanzhong area and even the Xiliang Army, and felt that it was a great opportunity, so he used the few people he could send out to attract people to save him.

Although the luck was not good, one of the people was intercepted by Lu Bu, but fortunately, Lu Bu was on Cao Ang's side at the moment, and did not choose to report it in front of Dong Zhuo.

This can also be regarded as giving Liu Xie a way.

…………

As for Liangzhou, there is a lot of movement.

Although Cao Ang paid little attention to it because of its remote location, he had little access to any information from there.

But he also knew about Han Sui and Ma Teng.

All of them are anti-bones of the Han Dynasty!

Something has to be done at every opportunity.

Dong Zhuo arrived in Chang'an with great military power before, and the black fat man himself came from Liangzhou, which has an extremely strong deterrent power in the local area.

Therefore, Han Ma and the two are more honest.

But now that the Chang'an court is weak, how can these two old boys not seize the opportunity and desperately send a tentative signal to Chang'an?

Under the combination of multiple information.

So to speak.

At present, Dong Zhuo and the forces he is in have reached a situation from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, all of which are extremely dangerous and crumbling.

It's like a horse-drawn carriage, half of its body is out of the cliff, and at this time, even a leaf floating on the body of the car can lead to the destruction of the car and death.

It's no wonder that Lu Bu is in such a hurry.

Not only did he bluntly say in the letter that he would open the city gate to welcome the king, and he would open the city gate to welcome the king's division, but he even said conclusively that he would work for Cao Ang, and he would be an ordinary general under Cao Ang in the future.

With Lu Bu's character.

If you hadn't felt extremely dangerous, you would never have been able to do such a thing.

After all, on the one hand, he lived and died with the Xiliang Army and was buried together, and on the other hand, he changed his boss and jumped to another family to become a general.

These two options are in front of you.

How to choose, I am afraid that as long as you have eyes and brains, you will not make mistakes.

Not to mention Lu Bu, who is extremely sensitive to danger, and at the slightest disturbance, he will make precautions and decisions in advance, and he will be a person who is going to die.

…………

For Lu Bu's thoughts.

Cao Ang left it blank for the time being.

He just looked at the dense words on the letter, and his eyes were condensed with light, and his thoughts were also fluttering.

The letter is quite timely.

Its role is not only to reveal the recent situation in Chang'an to Cao Ang, but more importantly, to tell Cao Ang that time is running out now!

Now Cao Ang is still staying in Donglai County in Qingzhou, far away from Chang'an, Guanzhong, which can be described as the end of the world, and it will take a long time for the two places to travel around, which is a factor that cannot be ignored.

And now the situation in Chang'an has eroded to this point.

The barrel of explosives under Dong Zhuo's ass will burst at any time, blowing everything to pieces.

According to Cao Ang's original plan, he had to reach the vicinity of Chang'an City before everything exploded.

Or to put it another way.

The explosive barrel under Dong Thief's buttocks can only be lit by him himself.

Otherwise, after Dong Zhuo's death, Cao Ang will miss out on various resources, including the court ministers, the army, and food and money.

How can this be tolerated?

We must do everything possible to accept the resources left behind after the fall of Dong Zhuo to the greatest extent, so that we can grow the Cao family more efficiently and perfectly.

So time is running out.

He must not continue to stay in Qingzhou, and when Mi Zhu comes over, after the two of them have finished negotiating, the army should quickly set off and leave Qingzhou.

In the process of going to Chang'an, he also needs to meet with his father Cao Cao, there is a very important matter, Cao Ang can only ask his father to complete, and he is not at ease to give a fake hand to anyone.

Then we will settle down in Dongshire.

There are several key people who must be taken with them.

That's it.

It takes a little more time to do something, so it can't be delayed.

…………

After thinking clearly.

Cao Ang immediately took out a blank strip of cloth.

The pen was very fast and wrote a reply on it.

"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother has ordered all the soldiers and horses, and the 100,000 troops will send to Chang'an, and they will be able to cross the Heluo area in a few days, pass through the Hangu Pass, and will arrive at the Guanzhong as quickly as possible."

"Although my brother doesn't lead the Xiliang elite soldiers now, he has a great role in the pass, so please don't act rashly, keep in touch with me closely, and when I have another letter to arrive, my brother can move at the right time!"

Simply wrote a reply.

Cao Ang took out his small seal again.

It "snapped" on it, and then put it back in the same box that had been transmitted before, and then sealed it with the unique fire paint that he had at hand.

After such a delicate operation.

Cao Ang did not immediately hand over the things to Li Quan.

Instead, he asked with a slight frown.

"I'm in Donglai County, and I can receive letters from Chang'an, presumably the dark spot under Yingwei has been laid in the Guanzhong area, do you know about this matter?"

Listening to Cao Angna's solemn inquiry.

Li Quan immediately replied.

"General Huiyu, due to the rush of time, the shadow guard is currently understaffed, so in addition to the headquarters, only the county and county levels have been set up."

"Although the subordinates are only in charge of a county, they also know some of the above news, and the guard has indeed laid the dark spot to Chang'an City now, although there is only a few points, but it is enough to deliver news back and forth."

"And the reason for this arrangement is also ordered from above, requiring that while ensuring Yan, Henan, Hebei, and Qing, we must also respond in Guanzhong."

"Therefore, everything is as you said, General, the carrier pigeon of the shadow guard can travel unimpeded between Chang'an and the Kanto region!"

…………

Although the answer has long been guessed.

But after getting a definite answer, Cao Ang's heart was still relieved, and his face was a little more relaxed.

The "above" that Li Quan said must be the head of the shadow guard, that is, Wang Yue.

And under the premise that the subordinates of the shadow guard are only distributed at the county and county levels, the one in front of him is indeed a high-level, so it is not surprising that he knows a lot.

Presumably, this is also the reason why Li Quan came to see himself today, not others.

Think about it here.

Cao Ang handed the letter box and the carrier pigeon back to Li Quan, and commanded with a serious expression and an extremely solemn face.

"Since Wang Yue has appointed you as the governor of a county, he must also have a lot of trust in you, and I won't say anything about the rest, this letter will be sent back by you for me in the same way, and it must be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

Li Quan didn't dare to slack off.

Equally solemnly took the carrier pigeon and the letter.

Then bowed to Cao Ang and reassured.

"General, please rest assured, after the subordinates go back, they will immediately feed the carrier pigeon and put it back, in order to ensure the safety of the carrier pigeon, the news can be delivered."

"The few carrier pigeons that my subordinates have on hand will also be put back in line!"

There are a few carrier pigeons in the same company, so even if they encounter air predators, they will attract firepower, and the risk of losing information will naturally be reduced to two or three percent of the original.

So it seems.

Li Quan is a careful person, and he does have the talent to manage one side.

…………

Li Quan quickly bid farewell to Cao Ang.

After staying alone in the county mansion and thinking for a while, Cao Ang immediately called his personal guards.

"Go and invite General Xiahou!"
