Chapter 96: Carrier Pigeons
Ma Zhong often has a bird on his arm, and he coos and teases as he walks.
Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder from behind, and he was so frightened that he turned his head and realized that it was Zhao Yi, patted his chest and said: "Zhonglang General, people are scary and scared to death, when did you come back?" ”
Zhao Yi put one arm around the other party's shoulder, looking extremely intimate, but his attention was attracted by the bird that Ma Zhong often put on the shelf.
"Nakatsune, what kind of bird is this? How do you look a little like a pigeon? ”
"Pigeons? What's that? ”
"Pigeon, well......"
Zhao Yi recalled: "The pigeon is also called Feinu, Feixue, Baifeng, and Bantianjiao. ”
"Oh, General Zhonglang, did you know it's called Flying Slave? Dove...... It's the first time I've heard of this name, and it's a very spiritual bird, and I'm training them how to go out and forage for food, and then find their own home. ”
Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Zhong Chang, this pigeon may be used to deliver letters?" ”
Ma Zhongchang glanced at Zhao Yi and said: "Of course, it is said that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was surrounded by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and he used the flying slave to send a message to attract reinforcements to escape. ”
"Oh, someone used the flying slave to deliver a message so early? So why hasn't it been rolled out on a large scale? ”
Ma Zhongchang smiled and explained: "General Zhonglang is joking, this flying slave can be raised by ordinary people?" The people themselves have no food or clothing, and they are not afraid of your jokes, even if I have raised about 20 of them, no matter how many big brothers they should say that I am not doing my job. ”
Zhao Yi calmed his face seriously, raised his hand and said: "No, you are not unserious this time, Ben Zhonglang will testify for you, the more this flying slave raises, the better, Zhong Chang, the time has come to give full play to your talents, I will now set up you as an official position of a flying slave captain, specially to train carrier pigeons, that is, let them send letters and pass on information." ”
"Huh? General Zhonglang, are you telling the truth? Captain Feinu...... That sounds ...... Sounds imposing! ”
Zhao Yi reluctantly patted the other party's shoulder, thinking in his heart that Cao Cao could set up a captain who touched gold, I just set up a flying slave captain, much taller than him, once this kind of carrier pigeon can be bred in batches and put into the battlefield, in the future in the era of lack of telephone, the transmission of information between his troops and troops will be faster.
"By the way, Zhongchang, I heard that you also like to have dogs."
Ma Zhongchang nodded excitedly and said, "Does Zhonglang also want to use a dog to deliver letters?" ”
"Dogs can indeed be used to deliver letters, but the efficiency is not as good as that of flying slaves, more can be used as an assistant to patrol soldiers, responsible for patrols, reconnaissance, and special operations, this is your next task, as for the specific direction of training, I will go back and give you a detailed description of the content, you can just practice it, in addition, I will also allocate a special amount of money for you to buy and raise flying slaves and dogs, Zhong Chang, if you do this well, I will remember you a great achievement."
"Don't worry, General Zhonglang, I'm the best at raising birds and teasing dogs~ Now the big brother, they won't always say that I am a plaything."
Looking at Ma Zhongchang, who was trotting away all the way, Zhao Yi specially kept the carrier pigeon he had trained and prepared to take it back to the house to raise.
The pigeon was quite good-looking, with colorful feathers on its neck, gray for most of its body, and a cockscomb-like thing growing between its beak and eyes, which was not quite the same as the carrier pigeon he had in mind.
Zhao Yi, who was holding a pigeon, walked in the direction of home while teasing, but when he turned into an intersection, he suddenly stopped.
In the shadow of the corner of the road was a half-crouching person, it was the Night Crow, who seemed to be injured.
"Night Raven, are you hurt? Did you do it in Chaisang City? Who hurt you like this? ”
Zhao Yi looked left and right, and seeing that no one else noticed him, he took two quick steps and reached out to help the night crow up.
"It's not in Chaisan, it's the killing faction...... They united with the Tianxia Association to encircle and suppress our heart-guarding faction...... These lunatics have completely broken their oath and they will lead the killing house into the abyss...... There are only one hundred and sixty people left from my Killing Courtyard Heart Guarding Sect, and all of them are hiding in the mountains and forests outside Xiangyang City. ”
"What? Why did the Killing Faction suddenly make a move against you, or did they unite with outsiders? Something must be going on here...... I'll take care of your wounds first, and then I'll bring all your people in and arrange them next door to my house, which is empty and easy to take care of. ”
"No need, my lord, the night crow's injury is small, and I am in a hurry to see you this time to report something that I think is strange."
"Strange things? What's so strange? ”
"This time the world will act in a hurry, with a certain purpose, and they seem to have known about the alliance agreement between you and me, so it can be said that their action this time is not aimed at our Guardian faction, but against Zhonglang General Daren."
"Against me...... Is it to avenge the burning of that man on the Yangtze River? Shouldn't they, if they come to kill me, I can't kill back? This bunch of madmen...... Ignore them first, call your people in, I will arrange a place for you to live, first take care of your injuries, and then say, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't forget that Ben Zhonglang will be a disciple of the gods, and these mortals can't fight me. ”
At the same time that Zhao Yi was healing the people of the killing house, there was a small lake in a magnificent and luxurious mansion in Xudu, the lake was quiet and outsiders were not allowed to enter, and in the center of the lake, a water house was connected through the nine-curved corridor, which was extremely elegant.
The room was supported by twenty columns, and there were no walls on all sides, so that it could be seen at a glance, and at this time there was a circle of people sitting in it, all of them with serious expressions, and one of them sitting at the top of the house had sharp eyes and a high nose, exuding the dangerous aura of some kind of predator.
"Where did they flee?"
"My people saw them going in the direction of Xiangyang, probably to go to Zhao Hongfei."
Zhao Hongfei...... Those old things in the way of the Immortal Building, we don't look for trouble for them, they are looking for their own death, and the order will go down, all the members of the Tianxia Association will do their best to find out the true location of the Immortal Building, I will take their lair! As for that Zhao Yi...... Can't let him live too well in Xiangyang City, but Prime Minister Cao Cheng doesn't have the energy to go south for the time being, we might as well find some other opponents for Zhao Hongfei. ”
"Chungda, what do you mean ......"
As soon as the old man sitting at the bottom of his hand finished speaking, the man on the main seat glared at him and said in a low voice: "Zhongda is also what you can call?" ”
The old man lowered his head slightly embarrassed, and replied, "Yes, the alliance leader ......"
Yes, the person in charge sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake at this moment is the head of Sima Bada, Sima Yi, who is known as the "Tomb Tiger".
"I heard that the reason why Liu Yuzhou was able to go north smoothly at that time and capture Jiangling and Xiangyang in a row was because Jiangdong lent him land in the Jingnan area, and now that the war has ended, it is time for them to return Jingzhou to Jiangdong, right?"
Hearing Sima Yi's words, a man next to him seemed to understand what he meant, and clapped his hands and said: "The leader of the alliance is a good move, this is to use Jingzhou to split the Sun-Liu alliance and create contradictions, and the Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu is dead, that Lu Su has more than enough wisdom and lack of courage, and the deputy governor Lu Xun is still a yellow-haired boy, as long as we use a little trick, they will definitely be fooled!" ”
Sima Yi stretched out his hand and nodded on his knee and said, "It's not enough to sow discord, he dares to touch my Sima family, then I also want him to taste what is called skin pain...... Listen to me and do as I tell you. ”
