The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 220 Surprised by the Chaos in Jiaozhou of the Song Family

Cao Cao used excellent diplomatic means to take advantage of the contradictions between the Taishan Army and Song Jiang's group, and surrendered the two forces one after another. In addition, the strength of the Chen family in Xuzhou rose sharply.

In order not to let Song Jiang's gang get too big, let Guo Jia divide Song Jiang's generals, Cao Cao is very relieved that Guo Jia will be the leader!

As for Cao Cao, who took down Xuzhou, Taishan Army, and Songjiang forces, he looked at the map, and there were still two small forces around, Zhang Yang in Hanoi and Zhang Xiu in Nanjun.

Now that Xuzhou has been settled, withstand Lu Heng's counterattack, the rest is to deal with Zhang Xiu!

Cao Cao, who was looking at the map alone in the study, thought: "Ang'er, Anmin, as a father, I will avenge you soon!"

In Jiujiang County, Huainan, Xiqu Yangcheng, Yinling, Dangtu, and Zhongli all gained large territories when Lu Bu and Lu Heng crusaded Yuan Shu last year.

Wang Kai and Xu Si were transferred here to garrison, while Zhang Liao and Cao Xing were rushed here by Liu Bei and Cheng Yu, because this place was too close to Hefei where Lu Heng stationed his army, and they did not want Lu Heng to discover the plan too early. The two of them didn't pursue anymore.

The Huaihe River has been completely blocked by Cheng Yu, and Zhang Liao and others sent out scouts more than once to investigate Xuzhou's intelligence, but there is no news!
In Xiquyang City, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Wang Kai, Xu Si and others are discussing how to face the current situation.

In this regard, Wang Kai and Xu Si followed Lu Bu after rebelling against Cao Cao with Zhang Chao and Chen Gong, so neither of them would choose to join Cao Cao.

Cao Xing, who lingered for a long time, said: "No, it's already the tenth wave of scouts, and there is no news. Cao Cao has completely blocked the north of the Huaihe River, and there is no news from Xuzhou. Since Liu Bei attacked Xiaqiu, Cao Cao must have a backup... "

"Wen Yuan still has an idea, we can't compete with Cao Cao and Liu Bei with our few thousand troops in Huainan!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "Will Chen Gong and Gao Shun's defenses in Xiapi be breached for a while? Mr. Xu Si went to Jiangdong to inform Wu Hou of the situation in Xuzhou, and Mr. Wang Kai went to Hefei to ask for reinforcements from Zhu Huan under the command of Wu Hou. Be on guard!"

"Someone and Cao Xing are stationed in Xiquyang City, which is not far from Hefei. Even Cao Cao and Liu Bei dare not rush to attack here."

"No! It's not too late, I'll leave immediately!" Wang Kai and Xu Si said immediately.

Hefei City is not far from Xiyang City, and it takes two days to go south without stopping. Wang Kai and Xu Si parted ways. Xu Si entered Hefei and Wang Kai went all the way south to Jiangdong.

With the relationship between Lu Heng and Lu Bu's alliance, Xu Si soon met the trio of Zhu Huan, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao who were stationed in Hefei, as well as Qiao Rui, counselor Yan Xiang, and civil servant Liu Fu.

At this time, the city of Hefei had begun to take shape and gradually regained its vitality. In addition, when the spring was busy with spring plowing, Zhu Huan and others got the news and couldn't make up their minds for a while whether they would have friction with Cao Cao during this time period.

Yan Xiang thought for a while and came out and said: "Since my lord asked me to wait for the whole of Huainan, I should immediately send someone to tell my lord that Lu Bu and my lord are already Weng's son-in-law, and since we are an alliance, we must save them. Hugh Mu) can send [-] troops to help Zhang Liao, in case of accidents."

"At the same time, many spies are sent to investigate the news of Xuzhou. If there is definite news, there will be a judgment!"

After hearing Yan Xiang's words, Zhu Huan also felt that it was reasonable to immediately send Xu Sheng with [-] troops to the north to assist Zhang Liao, and at the same time sent messengers to Jiangdong to report Lu Heng's situation.

What Zhu Huan didn't expect was that a team of fast horses was galloping towards Hefei. After replacing the horses in Hefei, they set off non-stop to Jiangdong.

Speaking of Jinyiwei in Xuzhou, why did you detour to Huainan to go to Yangzhou?

Guo Jia ambushed Xuzhou on all sides, and Guangling was completely blocked. In order to prevent leaks, no one was allowed to cross the river. The section of the Huaihe River in Xiapi County became a blockade. Only a large circle entered Yangzhou.

After entering Jiujiang, they kept changing horses and galloping non-stop, sending the news to Jiangdong Gu Yong and Lu Heng!

You said why you don't use carrier pigeons, that is, flying slaves?

I regret to tell you that although Lu Heng came to Jiangdong and ordered to find a master bird trainer, the training pigeon is the bird that is still called Fei Nu now.

Pigeon domestication has become a kind of ornamental bird since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is currently in the initial stage of exploration. Although pigeons have the characteristic of homing, wild pigeons are all short-distance.

Lu Heng had someone experiment with it, and the current pigeons from Wujun to Moling can't do this distance, let alone use it in the military.

"Historical Records Wei Shijia" records that in the 22nd year of Qin Shihuang, the state of Wei asked to surrender, sent people to Xianyang, and secretly sent military information to Wei with pigeons.King Qin learned that he slaughtered all the pigeons in Xianyang and ate them.

The stealing information mentioned here is to use the short-distance feature to steal information from inside the city to outside the city.

And the biggest use of pigeons at this stage is to eat. The aristocrats of the Eastern Han Dynasty were ashamed to eat pork. If they ate beef, they would go to prison. They used mutton and poultry as their staple food.

Among them, pigeons are a delicious delicacy, and they are one of the primary targets of the big families to hunt and kill. Therefore, under all the circumstances mentioned above, there is a long way to go for pigeons to be used in military affairs. At least the subordinates ordered by Lu Heng have been groping for three years. Not much progress.

Unless Lu Heng is willing to use his prestige points to summon a bird-playing character from the Song Dynasty to greatly improve this progress, it will be difficult to succeed in a few decades.

This once greatly disappointed Lu Heng. When other time-travelers went to the Three Kingdoms, the pigeons were all domesticated. They would move from the grassland to Jiangdong, and when they arrived in Lu, they would not be able to do this!Sure enough, the Internet is deceiving.

During the long process of breeding ornamental pigeons at home, after continuous mutation and purification, it took hundreds of years before the Sui Dynasty differentiated the category of carrier pigeons from ornamental pigeons.

In the Tang Dynasty, it began to be used and promoted on a large scale, and even messenger pigeons appeared, which means that carrier pigeons have been widely used in military affairs since the Song Dynasty.

That is to say here, the use of pigeons to send messages in wars in the Song Dynasty was already a basic method. If Lu Heng travels back, he will give a piece of advice to friends who wrote the history of the Song Dynasty and the Water Margin. At this time, using pigeons is not an advantage, but everywhere. Yes, the northern nomads are probably better off than any of you.

When Yu Yunwen, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao who stayed behind in Moling received news from Zhu Huan, Jin Yiwei, and Wang Kai almost at the same time, they secretly cried out that it was not good. Lu Bu died in Xuzhou and returned to Cao Cao. Groups are likely to have no small impact.

The only lucky thing is that the mistress Lu Lingji and Lu Heng went south to attack Jiaozhou. It has been almost half a month since they set off, and they can use this time to persuade them. This will be a major decision for the Jiangdong Group.

Yu Yunwen looked to the south and murmured: "My lord, don't raise troops out of anger!"
