Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

This is the first month of the Jiazi year, a cavalry that does not coincide with the annual festival, and quickly travels through the northern land.

They will pass through the narrow Huwuhuan Department, enter Jizhou through Liaoxi, Yuyang, and Zhuojun, cross the famous Julu area, and finally enter the Sili Xiaowei Department where Luoyang is located.This path is [-] 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 that might slow down the speed, so it is estimated that they can reach the destination within a month land.

At that time, the imperial court had only started the spring sacrifices, and the government affairs were slowly getting back on track.And the opening ceremony of He Jin's appointment as a general will also be implemented step by step.

Gongsun Du was amazed: "After all, it is the home of the Central Plains Gongqing. Others can't calculate the time card so cleverly."

However, Cao Cao was still dissatisfied: "If it wasn't for guarding against the barbarians in winter, why would I have to wait until now? It is urgent to travel now, let Shengji eat dry food with me."

Gongsun Du, however, looked peaceful and happy, sitting on the ground, cooking dried meat on the fire: "Without Mengde, I would not even have the chance to eat dry food and drink cold water." He also worked really hard to get an official position.

Although spring was better than winter, it was still barren. When Cao Cao and his party passed through the west of Liaoning, they had to avoid the Xianbei people who came to Dacaogu from time to time. When they entered Zhuojun, the surrounding area became prosperous, and all they saw were the faces of Han people.It was also in Zhuojun that the team that had been camping for seven or eight days was finally able to get a good night's sleep at the station.

"It can be regarded as the most dangerous third." Cao Cao wiped the sweat from his brow. If he hadn't brought Gongsun Du along with him, he would have crossed the sea from Weihai, Qingzhou to the Central Plains. Why bother to march on the border.

When he was recuperating in Zhuojun, Cao Cao did not go to a pork shop to meet Zhang Butcher, or ran to Lu Zhi's door to meet Uncle Liu Huang, he was busy caring for his horse.Although it is shoed, but after running for several days in a row, no matter how good a horse is, it will lose weight.After finally entering the town, I had to buy some eggs, beans, wheat, etc., and mix them with horse grass to feed them.

A qualified cavalryman must be a qualified military horse breeder.Cao Cao and his men are all qualified cavalry.Ever since, more than 30 young and middle-aged people crowded in the stables to brush and feed the horses. Even in the first lunar month, they only wore single clothes, and some were shirtless. The scene was spectacular.

Probably affected by Wei Bing's tragedy, Cao Cao is very close to the people at the moment, chatting with each other, from how many people are in the family to whether there is no shortage of money, and most importantly, whether there is a girl in the family? But embarrassed to speak?When the topic came up about marriage, it was inevitable to talk about driving a small car, and for a while the stable was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Juvenile riding is no longer appropriate to be called juvenile riding.Now the ones that continue to belong to Cao Cao are secretly called Tigers and Leopards, while the new cavalry who stayed in Youzhou under the command of Twenty Seven are called Flying Eagles.

After grooming the horses and communicating with the tiger and leopard riders, Cao Cao turned around and walked into the second-class stable next door, where there were ten servants with ten rough horses.He can't take all the big soldiers on this journey, guides, dialects, money managers, military doctors, veterinarians and cooks, all kinds of talents are also just needed.Most of these people were prepared by Ah Sheng for him. He didn't recognize all the faces in order to rush on the road before, so naturally he has to take care of them now that they are undergoing a major renovation.

This recognition was incredible, and it recognized a familiar face.

"Director 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 wearing burlap clothes, the dust on his face had completely covered up his original handsomeness, he looked a bit downcast, but his eyes were still bottomless. "My subordinate is incompetent. I neither found out the truth nor rescued Dalang's subordinates. The master fined me to serve as Dalang's pawn for a few days."

Cao Cao didn't believe a word of his nonsense.The intelligence chief dispatched himself, either to escort him or to cause trouble.

"You ran out with me, so you can leave all your troubles to Ah Sheng?"

Qin Liu lowered his arched hands again, and said solemnly: "If they don't have me, they won't be able to do anything, it means that they have wasted the eggs of the master all these years."

Listen, what you say doesn't look like a relegation.

So Cao Cao also joked: "Then Yuan Feng, what do you want to teach me?"

There really are. "The village we passed yesterday evening was the stronghold of Taiping Road. So I frightened the two horses of Gongsun's family, so I ran an extra ten miles, and caused Dalang to sleep in the open for an extra day."

Cao Cao was taken aback: "I know there is a way of peace in Youzhou. But in the village yesterday, there was no yellow scarf wrapped around the head, and there was no graffiti on the door. On the contrary, in this Zhuojun city, there are still a few houses that say" When the age is Jiazi, the world will be prosperous'."

"Most of the surrounding villages are believers, and every household has talisman stickers on their doors. Only that village has no family with talisman stickers. Isn't this abnormal?"

Cao Cao is such a smart person, he broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.He might not be in the small Peace Road stronghold, but if he gets injured, loses his hands, or loses his way due to delay, it will be a big trouble.He didn't care about trivial matters, and immediately saluted Qin Liu: "Yuan Feng has saved our lives."

Qin Liu sideways avoided, and said in his mouth: "The responsibility lies, I dare not accept it."

After this incident, Cao Cao became more cautious on his way.I would rather sleep in the open in the wilderness and fight with wild beasts and robbers than live in a village easily.Leaving Zhuojun, after driving through the mountains and wilderness for three days, we entered the border of Jizhou.

Jizhou, the base camp of Taiping Road.

Julu in Jizhou is the hometown of Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Road.

However, Julu is an important road for transportation, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.Both Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Wang Mang and Liu Xiu have fought battles in this land, so it is conceivable that the geographical 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 though Cao Cao took every precaution, there were more and more Taiping Taoists among the beggars and refugees by the roadside.When they were about to leave Julu County, a group of three people on horseback followed them all the way.There are very few people who can ride a horse at this time.Moreover, the leader's hair was loose, his forehead was only tied with a strip of cloth, and his sleeves were drawn out so long that he looked like a magic stick.And along the way, all believers who saw him called him "God's Messenger".

Cao Cao frowned and held his breath until he entered a barren grassland and ordered his horses to stop and line up.Naturally, Gongsun Du also noticed something strange, and patted his horse to Cao Cao's side: "Meng De, there are only three people on the other side, and they are unfamiliar with riding skills. Forgive them for not daring to provoke us without authorization."

Cao Cao still had a straight face: "Taiping Taoist has many people, and we need to be more careful when walking outside."

The opponent's horse was not as good as the good horse of Youzhou, but it was still in the prime of life, and it ran faster than walking.Closer, closer.Cao Cao's hand was already on the handle of the knife, and he never expected that the other party ran along the official road impatiently, as if he hadn't noticed them.

ran over.

went.

The.

"Hahahaha." Gongsun Du laughed and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, "Meng De is too careful."

Cao Cao let go of the hand holding the knife depressedly: "It just so happens that it's getting late, so let's go camp by the stream and make some hot soup." When Gongsun Du happily walked away, he turned around and sent Qin Liu: "We More than fifty people with weapons and horses are galloping near their old lair, but the Taoist envoys of the Taiping Dao don’t look sideways, this is not normal. You lead the team to capture those three people just now.”

Qin Liu left without saying a word, and the three servants followed closely on horseback.

Cao Cao nodded. These four people are probably the ones released by the spy department this time.Although he knew that the spy department had their jobs and it was just a free ride, it was always more convenient for him to know in his heart.

At night, the full moon is in the sky.I don't know if it's all the way south, or the cold winter is over, but the night wind is actually warm.Most of the snow in the barren grass has melted, some places are still wet and muddy, but some places have already dried up.Three crows howled from outside the camp. Cao Cao followed the sound and walked a hundred steps with two of his cronies, and saw Qin Liu and the others standing under a black crooked-neck tree holding the "envoy".

The "God Envoy" no longer looked like a magic stick. His body was covered with blood, and he lay on the ground like a dog. Whenever he saw Cao Cao, he called for help. "The villain has something important to report to the imperial court, and please forgive me!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled, "Is there something important?"

"Zhang Jiao and the others agreed to launch an incident in Luoyang on the Jiazi day of March. Qu Commander Ma Yuanyi has led Jing and Yang 2000 troops to sneak into Luoyang. When the time comes, Huan—ah—"

Qin Liu stepped on the "God Envoy"'s knuckles, stamped out the words behind him, and then stuffed his mouth with a cloth. "I'm not afraid of attracting wolves if I make such a loud noise—Dalang, this man is a traitor to the Taiping Dao. He wanted to go to Luoyang to inform, so he ran into the same road as us."

You thought Taipingdao was just a local rebellion united with poor people, but you actually want Luoyang? If 2000 people set a fire each, wouldn't Luoyang become a sea of ​​flames?Even Cao Cao was anxious when he heard this: "Although Luoyang City is guarded by the Forbidden Army and the Northern Army, it will not fall, but once there is a chaotic party in the land of the Son of Heaven, it will shake the foundation of the country! This matter is important, we must immediately take this The informant returns to Beijing!"

"Wait a minute, Dalang." Qin Liu stepped forward to stop Cao Cao, "Don't let this man face you." He grabbed the messy hair of the magic stick and pulled it back, forcing him to expose his face to the moonlight. "Your Majesty Dalang doesn't remember anything, but I know him. Tang Zhou was the one who smashed the women's clinic and killed the women's doctor in Qingzhou, and was punished by Zhang Jiao later. He has a grudge against his master. Add a statement to the confession that the owner once corresponded with Zhang Jiao, and the whole family will suffer!"

The matter involved Ah Sheng, so Cao Cao had to stop and stare at Qin Liu. "Then what do you say?"

"Let him write Luo Yang's conspiracy as an informant letter. Adding the letter written by Zhang Jiao on his body to Ma Yuanyi, it will be enough."

Having said that, isn't it clear at a glance which one is easier to win people's trust, an anonymous letter or a living person?With the administrative capacity of the Eastern Han Dynasty, would it be possible to prepare for a rainy day because of a whistleblower letter?There have been several real-name memorials saying that Taiping Daoxin has misbehavior, and the emperor has not seen any reaction.

Tang Zhou was lying on the ground whining, he originally wanted to sell Zhang Jiao for a fortune, but he didn't expect to meet such a group of murderous gods, he was really at odds with the Cao family.

It was probably Tang Zhou's villainous behavior that finally moved Cao Cao. He sighed: "I will do as you said. I will get the letter tonight and start marching in a hurry tomorrow." After speaking, he turned his back and went back to the tent.

Smiling, Qin Liu drew out the bloody knife and patted Tang Zhou's cheek. "The disciples of the dignified generation are more straightforward than pouring beans. How can this work?"

"Woo, woo, woo."

"Okay, okay, I've remembered what you said, let's go on the road with peace of mind, good boy."

The light of the knife flashed, and blood spilled on the grass.Qin Liu stood up, looking up at the deserted moonlight under the tree, with a nostalgic smile in his voice.

"This is probably what you said, open the gift bag."
