Fall In Love with the Technology Tree
Chapter 101: Along the way
This is the first month of the Jiazi year, and a cavalry that does not match the festival quickly travels through the land in the north.
This path is 1,400 kilometers long, but fortunately, there are plains for horse racing along the way, and Cao Cao and the others did not bring any women and children's luggage that might slow down the speed except for money and silk, so they are expected to reach their destination within a month. land.
At that time, the imperial court will begin the spring sacrifices, and government affairs will gradually be put on the right track. The ceremony for He Jin to be enshrined as the Great General to open his house will also be gradually implemented.
Gongsun Du was amazed: "In the end, it is the family of the Central Plains Gongqing, others can't count the time card so cleverly."
Cao Cao was still dissatisfied: "If it wasn't for the protection of barbarians in winter, why should I delay this time? It is urgent to travel now, let Shengji eat dry food with me."
Gongsun Du had a peaceful and happy look on his face, sitting on the ground, cooking jerky on the fire: "Without Meng De, I don't even have a chance to eat dry food and drink cold water." In order to get an official position, he Also really hard.
Although spring is better than winter, it is still desolate. When Cao Cao and his party passed through western Liaoning, he would occasionally avoid the Xianbei people who came to farm the grassy valley. All of them have Han faces. It was also in Zhuo County, and the team that Fengfan had been sleeping for seven or eight days was finally able to get a good night's sleep at the inn.
"It can be regarded as the most dangerous third." Cao Cao wiped the sweat from his head. If he hadn't brought Gongsun Du with him, he could have crossed the sea from Qingzhou and Weihai to the Central Plains. , why bother marching on the border.
Although the horseshoe was nailed, after running for several days, no matter how good the horse was, it lost weight. After finally entering the town, I had to buy some eggs, beans, wheat, etc., and feed them in the horse grass.
A qualified cavalryman must be a qualified military horse breeder. Cao Cao and his men were all qualified cavalry. As a result, more than 30 young and middle-aged people crowded in the stables to brush hair and feed the horses. Even in the first month, they only wore single clothes, and some people were shirtless.
It was probably infected by Wei Bing's tragedy, Cao Cao was very close to the people at this moment, chatting one by one, from the number of people in the family to the lack of money, the most important thing is, Have you ever liked a girl from a certain family but was too embarrassed to speak? The topic was getting married, and it was inevitable to drive a car, and the barn was filled with joy for a while.
Juvenile riding is no longer appropriate to call juvenile riding now. Today, he is still under the name of Cao Cao, and he is called Hubao, while the new cavalry under the command of Twenty-seven in Youzhou is called Feiying.
After finishing the horses and getting in touch with the tigers and leopards, Cao Cao turned his head and turned into the next-class stable next door. There are ten servants here, with ten horses Horse. He can't lead all the big-headed soldiers on this journey, guides, dialects, money managers, military doctors, veterinarians and cooks, all kinds of talents are just in need. Most of these people were prepared for him by Ah Sheng. Before, in order to hurry, he didn't recognize all the faces. Now, he will naturally come to take care of them after major repairs.
This recognition is incredible, recognize a familiar face.
"Manager Qin?" Cao Cao frowned. He didn't hate Qin Liu, but he always had a bad feeling when he met him under such circumstances.
Qin Liu was dressed in burlap, and the dust on his face covered up all the original handsome, looking a little desolate, but his eyes were still bottomless. "I am incompetent. I have neither found out the truth nor saved Dalang's subordinates. The master fined me to be a **** for Dalang for a few days."
Cao Cao didn't believe a single word of his nonsense. The espionage chief personally dispatched, either to **** him or to cause trouble.
"You ran out with me, then all your troubles are thrown to Ah Sheng?"
Qin Liu put down the arched hand again, and said solemnly: "If they don't have me, they will not be able to do it, which means that the master's eggs over the years have been wasted in vain."
Listen to this, it sounds like a relegation.
So Cao Cao also joked: "Does that Yuanbee have anything to teach me?"
Yes. "The village we passed by yesterday evening was the stronghold of Taiping Road. That's why I surprised the two horses of Gongsun's family, so they ran out of ten miles, causing Dalang to sleep in the rough for one more day."
Cao Cao was taken aback: "I know there is a Taiping Road in Youzhou. But yesterday, in that village, there were no yellow scarves wrapped around their heads, and there was no graffiti on the door. There are also a few doors that say 'When the age is in Jiazi, the world is prosperous'."
"The surrounding villages are mostly believers, and every household has talisman paper pasted on the door. Only that village does not have a single household with a talisman sticker. Isn't it abnormal?"
He won't necessarily collapse into the small Taiping Road stronghold, but if he gets injured, loses his manpower, or procrastinates and gets lost, it's a big problem. He didn't stick to the small details, and immediately gave Qin Liu a salute: "Yuanbee has a life-saving grace for me."
After this incident, Cao Cao traveled more and more cautiously. It is better to sleep in the wilderness and fight with wild beasts than to easily stay in a village. After leaving Zhuo County, he drove for another three days in the mountains and wilderness, and then entered the boundary of Jizhou.
Jizhou, the home base of Taiping Road.
Julu, Jizhou, is the hometown of Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Road.
Julu is the main road of transportation, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Both Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and Wang Mang and Liu Xiu fought in this area, so it is conceivable that the location is superior. If you want to reach Luoyang through Jizhou at the fastest speed, Julu is undoubtedly the only way to go.
Therefore, even if Cao Cao is on guard, there are more and more Taiping Taoists among the beggars and refugees on the road. When they were about to leave Julu County, there was a team of three people riding horses and following them all the way. There are very few people who can ride a horse at this time. And the leader had loose hair and only wrapped his forehead with a strip of cloth. His sleeves were long, and he looked like a magic stick. And along the way, all the believers who saw him were called "God's Angels".
Cao Cao frowned and held his breath until he entered a barren meadow and ordered to stop the horses and form an array. Gongsun Du naturally also noticed the strangeness, and patted the horse to Cao Cao's side: "Meng De, the other party is only three people, and their riding skills are unfamiliar, forgive them and dare not provoke me without authorization."
The other side's horse is not as good as Youzhou's good horse, but it is also a prime age, and it runs very fast compared to walking. Closer, closer. Cao Cao's hand was already on the hilt of the knife. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have not noticed them, and couldn't wait to run along the official road.
ran over.
Go.
"Hahahaha." Gongsun Du laughed and patted Cao Cao's shoulder, "Meng De is too careful."
Cao Cao let go of his hand holding the knife depressedly: "It's getting late, so go to camp by the stream and make some hot soup to drink." When Gongsun Du walked away happily, he turned around The head sent Qin Liu: "More than 50 of us are galloping near their old nest with weapons and horses, but the envoy of the Dao of Peace does not look sideways. This is not normal. You lead the team to capture the three people just now."
Qin Liu slapped the horse and left without a word, and the three servants followed him on the horse.
Cao Cao nodded, the people released by the spy department this time are probably these four people. Although he knew that the spy department had their jobs and just hitched a ride, he knew that it was always more convenient.
At night, the full moon is in the sky. I don't know if it's all the way to the south, or the cold winter has passed, and the night wind is actually a little warm. Most of the snow in the wasteland has melted, and some places are still wet quagmire, while others are already dry. There were three crows' howls from outside the camp. Cao Cao took two cronies and walked a hundred paces following the sound, and saw Qin Liu and the others catching the "God" standing under a dark tree with a crooked neck.
The "God Envoy" no longer looks like a **** stick. He is covered in blood and spreads on the ground like a dog. As soon as he sees Cao Cao, he calls for help. "The villain has something important to report to the court, and please ask Langjun to open up!"
"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled, "Is it important?"
"Zhang Jiao and others agreed to hold an event in Luoyang on Jiazi Day in March. Qu Shuai Ma Yuanyi has led Jing and Yang two thousand men and horses to sneak into Luoyang, when the time comes—ah—"
"So loud is not afraid to attract the wolf-Dalang. This man is a traitor of Taiping Road. He wanted to go to Luoyang to inform, so he ran into a road with us."
You thought Taiping Road was just a local rebellion with the poor people, but you actually want Luoyang? Two thousand people each set a fire, wouldn't Luo Yang be a sea of fire? Even Cao Cao was anxious when he heard it: "Although Luoyang City is guarded by the Imperial Army and the Northern Army, it will not fall, but once there is chaos in the land of the emperor, it will shake the country! The informant returns to Beijing!"
"Wait, sir." Qin Liu stepped forward to stop Cao Cao, "Don't let this person face." He grabbed the god's messy hair and pulled it back, forcing him to reveal his face in the moonlight. "Master Dalang doesn't remember anything, but I recognize him. Tang Zhou, who smashed the women's doctor's hall in Qingzhou and killed women's doctors, was punished by Zhang Jiao for this. He had a grudge against his master. Add to the confession that the master once corresponded with Zhang Jiao, and the whole family will suffer!"
The matter involved Ah Sheng, Cao Cao had to stop and stare at Qin Liu. "Then what do you say?"
"Let him write Luo Yang's rebellion as a whistleblower letter. Plus the letter from Zhang Jiao on him to Ma Yuanyi, it will be enough."
Having said that, is it not clear at a glance which one is easier to win the trust of an anonymous letter or a big living person? With the administrative capabilities of the Eastern Han Dynasty, will he take precautions because of a whistleblower letter? There were several real-name memorials that said that Taiping Dao had a bad heart, and there was no response from the emperor.
Tang Zhou was lying on the ground and whimpering. He originally wanted to betray Zhang Jiao for a fortune, but he didn't expect to encounter such a line of killing gods, and he really fought against the Cao family.
It was probably Tang Zhou's villainous behavior that finally moved Cao Cao, he sighed: "Just do as you said. Get the letter tonight, and start the march tomorrow." Back to camp.
Qin Liu pulled out the blood-stained knife with a smile and patted Tang Zhou's cheek. "The dignified generation of disciples is more straightforward than pouring beans. How can this be done?"
"Woooo, woohoo."
"Alright alright, I remember what you said, go on the road with peace of mind, darling."
The knife flashed and blood spilled on the grass. Qin Liu stood up and looked up at the deserted moonlight under the tree, with a nostalgic smile in his voice.
"This is probably what you said, open the door and spree."
