Chapter 206 New Communication Method
The Prairie King was not surprised to receive the news that the Yanzhen Fortress sent troops to fight, but he watched the Yunchui people marching towards the main force of Xiliang brazenly in a long snake formation.

Like a moth to a flame.

He couldn't help but hesitate.

The so-called coming but not going is indecent.

Since Nanfeng dared to spread the epidemic everywhere, he also colluded with neighboring countries to attack Yunchui.

The Yanfeng Fortress is currently facing internal and external troubles, and the new fortress defender Huo Ling is not a person who sticks to the rules.When he was in a hurry, he dared to spread the epidemic to the Xiliang army and even the Xiliang people behind him.

Come and die, let's all die together.

The Prairie King's face was a little gray.

There are so many people in Yuncuizi, it's rare to hear that they can afford to die.

But there are few people in Xiliang, so they can't survive such a toss.

In the end, the Xiliang army had to camp near the Benlu tribe, and first sent the vanguard battalion to intercept the Yunchui people who were advancing westward.

To the south, Yingshan Daying Camp.

A few days ago, an eye-catching fat man came to the camp.

Originally, what Chen Xiulan thought was to spend a year in Nanshu City comfortably and then return to Xingji City.But Emperor Changxing was determined to train his son this time.

Not only sent confidant eunuchs to watch over the whole process, but also issued a special document to inform the local government not to receive them, and insisted that the princes be stationed in the frontier army.

Fate can't help it.Chen Xiulan had no choice but to pass Nanshu City instead of entering, and continued to go south.

Whether it is a prince or a prince of a country, there is still some freedom.You can choose to go to Zhennan Pass or go to the Starfall Legion to practice.

It's just that Chen Xiulan had already heard that Zhennan Pass was moving before he arrived in Guangxin County.

Yuan Xingwen planned to transport all the family property of Zhennanguan to the original site of Hushouguan, and build it into a new gateway to southern Xinjiang.

Now that Zhennanguan is moving, and Hushouguan is extremely dilapidated.Chen Xiulan didn't plan to go up, so she went to Yingshan Camp.

"This terrible weather..." the dignified Prince Jin cursed secretly while chasing mosquitoes away.

As a fat man, what he fears most is the hot weather.However, the climate in Guangxin County is not only hot and humid, but also hot and humid.

It's hard for Chen Xiulan now.

He was sweating profusely when he stood still every day, and he was even chased and bitten by countless mosquitoes, which made him very annoying.

At this time, Ren Ning walked to the big tent of the Chinese army with a thick file.

"General Ren." Seeing an acquaintance, Chen Xiulan's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly raised his hand to say hello.

Ren Ningxun came over with prestige, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness King Jin. Today's training is completed?"

snort!
Chen Xiulan's face turned black.

If you join the Starfall Legion, you must accept the rules of the legion, even the prince is no exception.

So Chen Xiulan received all kinds of training like a soldier every day.The advantage is that the size is reduced rapidly; the disadvantage is that it is tired like a dog.

Pointing to the sky, Chen Xiulan said sullenly: "I don't even know when it will be, all kinds of training have already been completed."

It's just that the other little soldiers were still energetically cheering and running on the football field, but he couldn't run anymore and wanted to come out to find something to eat.

"Where is General Ren going?" Chen Xiulan was curious.

"The big account of the Chinese army." Ren Ning raised the file in his hand, "Military secrets, do you want to see it, Your Highness?"

"I don't want to!" Chen Xiulan shook her head in fright, and hurriedly turned and left with the little eunuch.

After all, it was the prince. Wei Junqian received him cordially when he first arrived at Yingshan Daying, and had a friendly and deep conversation with Chen Xiulan.

From then on, whenever Chen Xiulan heard the words "Zhongjun" or "Wei Junqian", she couldn't help but want to run away.

After entering the big tent, it was rare for Wei Junqian not to make tea, but to write big characters.

Ren Ning glanced over.

Compared with tea art, Wei Junqian's calligraphy is not very good. It can only be said that he can pass it, but he can't become a master.

brush!
With a splash of ink, a few large characters are born in response to the pen.

"Plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, proud and firm!"

Ren Ning's eyes twitched.

These eight characters are not only the four noble plants, but also the names of the eight adult princes.

I was thinking wildly.

Wei Junqian didn't look back, and asked directly: "You're here, what's the matter?"

Ren Ning collected his thoughts and put down the thick file in his hand.

"General, my subordinates have figured out a way to quickly transmit information. I want to ask the general to look over it and see if it can be implemented."

The land of Yunchui is really huge, whether it is from south to north, or from east to west, it is tens of thousands of miles away.

In the face of this distance, the fastest [-]-mile rush will not help, and it will take at least half a month for the news to go back and forth.

For more than half a month, the cucumber dishes were often cold when I received the news.

As for Brother Fei's transmission of letters, he has always been too unreliable.

Ren Ning felt this, and wanted to use modern knowledge to speed up the transmission of information.

"Oh?" Wei Junqian put down his pen and walked over with interest.

A while ago, Ren Ning also received news from the south side of the crane he made in Xingji City.

Wei Junqian thought about it and planned to make a few small cranes for his own use.

Starfall belongs to the field army, and they are not required to climb the city wall unless it is absolutely necessary, so they are rarely equipped with large siege machines, and the requirements for lifting are not too great.

Yuan Xingwen, who specializes in attacking and defending the city, did not hesitate to create several large-scale films.Even if you don't need it for now, it's good to stock up.

It's just that this kind of ordnance needs a lot of iron, and Yunchui's current iron mines are a bit stretched, so they have to say hello to the Ministry of War first.

Facts have proved that Ren Ning's new ideas are always practical, and Wei Junqian never dared to ignore or underestimate them.

"This is……"

Wei Junqian was a little dumbfounded when he opened the file on the desk.

On the top is a picture, and he is very familiar with the things on the picture.

It is a children's toy windmill, except that the windmill in the picture has three blades hanging from top to bottom.

Although crude, Wei Junqian had no doubts, and ordered: "Introduce its usage."

"Yes!" Ren Ning nodded.

He took out his saber and binoculars from his belt.Then the saber and the telescope form a "ten", or the shape of a windmill.

"General," Ren Ning pointed to the windmill on the table, "we can express four meanings by turning the blades of the windmill, such as turning the blades to the vertical direction, horizontal direction, or moving them in the shape of rice. "

"Yes." Wei Junqian nodded.

"As for the windmill drawn by my subordinates, there are three blades in it, so pulling this three-blade windmill can express many meanings."

"Indeed!" Wei Junqian nodded, "Three leaves can express 24 meanings."

Ren Ning was taken aback, and cupped his hands in admiration.

This is a permutation.

If I remember correctly, it should be the content of advanced mathematics.He didn't expect Wei Junqian to be clear about it.

Feeling overwhelmed, Ren Ning continued.

"We have binoculars in our hands now." He pointed to the Yingshan Mountain behind the camp where the soldiers trained to climb every day.

"For example, if we erect such a windmill on the top of Yingshan Mountain, it can be seen from ten or even tens of miles to the north."

Wei Junqian quickly realized, "It's like lighting a wolf's smoke or piercing the clouds, sending information back from station to station?"

This is indeed much faster than running on horseback.After all, no matter how fast a horse is, it is impossible to run more than ten or even tens of miles in a second.

Chatting with smart people is a pleasure, Ren Ning nodded with a smile.

"What the general said is true. It's just that the wolf smoke or the cloud piercing arrow can usually only express one or two meanings, either there is something or nothing."

"And this windmill under my command can completely express any meaning I want to express!"

"What?" Wei Junqian cheered up and couldn't help but widen his eyes. "The complete meaning? Just like writing a letter?"

Ren Ning nodded, "That's right, it's just like writing a letter."

After speaking, he removed the top three-leaf windmill picture, revealing the pinyin letters below.

"These are 24 letters, exactly corresponding to the 24 positions on the windmill. With them, we can spell any word we want to say."
