Chapter 225 Message Lag
Although there were two more regiment-level generals this time, the number of people was still smaller. The task of the Recruitment Hall was still heavy. It was because no one dared to come out in the competition just now. He had already determined that there were no strong people in the Recruitment Hall at this time, so he thought of leaving.
After arriving at the main city, Qing Cang ordered Zhao Zilong and Zhang Liao to go down to get to know some things, and he went directly to the meeting hall, which has become a habit for him.
At this time, Wu Chaojing was already waiting with Guo Jia in the inner hall. It seemed that there was something wrong with their expressions, and it was quite big.
"Commander, you are finally back!"
Wu Chaojing went up to meet him.
"What's wrong? What message did you receive?"
"Yes, according to the news from the front, Li Shang took Princess Wannian and rushed to the road overnight and had returned to Luoyang City two days ago."
It is almost evening now, and it took more than two days to deliver the news. In fact, it is already fast. With the flow of ancient news, this speed is fast. Whoever can grasp the faster information can grasp the entire battle situation.
He murmured, "What happened two days ago? The news is a bit behind."
In two days, I can already do a lot of things, organize a battle, carry out a small reform, etc.
Wu Chaojing expressed his helplessness. "This is probably the fastest speed. If you carry a carrier pigeon, it will be inconvenient. It will easily be seen through by others. It will put our spies in danger. The news may be cut off at that time."
He said nothing, that's it, so he had to think of a way.
Qing Cang suddenly thought of a common thing in spy war movies, telegraph machines, which may be exchanged for some telegraph machines in the mall and handed them over to the people of the Women's Army, so that they can send information back at any time when they go out for a mission. In this way, he will have the information of the whole world, as long as his people are distributed wide enough.
With a telegraph machine, you can use a 30mhz short-wave radio station to communicate, which can reach anywhere in the world, but it is easily affected by natural conditions, such as solar storms. However, it does not need to be that far in the early stage. At that time, send Morse passwords, give them a password book each, and teach them how to translate the message.
The carrier pigeon will be intercepted and shot down, and the information inside will be easily seen, and the enemy will prepare in advance. But the telegraph is different. In ancient times, how could the ancients know such advanced things? In their eyes, it was nothing more than a pile of broken copper and iron. No matter how they could not understand this form of information transmission, it was more than tens of thousands of times stronger than the carrier pigeon.
Qing Cang fell into a lot of thought and even forgot to reply to Wu Chaojing's words. His brief loss made the two present at a loss. In the end, Wu Chaojing shouted: "Commander! Are you listening?"
He then reacted and said, "I understand, how long will it take for us to get news about their next move?"
Wu Chaojing explained: "Since we don't send many spies in Luoyang, because there are many enemies there, if we want to know their next move, it will probably be two days later."
Two days later, if they go to war, their preparation time will be reduced by two days. Don't underestimate these two days. It may be a very important two days. If Emperor Ling of Han asked Huangfu Song to lead his troops, you should know that they are not far away, which is a surprise attack. He will miss the initiative, and then there may be more casualties. This is something he does not allow. Although he knows that there are casualties, he must minimize casualties every time.
To sum up, we can see how terrible it is to lag the news.
"Two days are too long, we should have a faster way."
Guo Jia asked: "Does the commander want to reform the dissemination of information? As far as I know, it is nothing more than sending more people out, but this method is still not enough."
"It should be reformed. But I naturally have a way to carry out a major reform, unprecedented!"
“Unprecedented?”
Guo Jia didn't know what reform Qing Cang was referring to. Although he was curious, he didn't ask more. Qing Cang didn't say anything, but just gave an order suddenly.
"Release the carrier pigeon and ask Yang Xiaomei to come back quickly with her wife's army. I have a task to reassign."
Wu Chaojing did not ask much, but should have left the meeting hall directly afterwards.
After a while, he turned back again. He had a piece of paper in his hand, and he seemed very in a hurry. When Qing Cang saw it, it must have been the Detachment of Women who sent back the news. And the news didn't seem very good.
He could not wait to ask, "What news did he receive this time?"
"The situation is probably not good. It's Yang Xiaomei's carrier pigeon."
At this time, the place where Yang Xiaomei is located is infinitely close to the location of Qianghu. The news sent back from her must have a lot of connection with it.
"What do you say in the letter?"
"She said that Emperor Ling of Han united with Qiang Qu Shanyu and Xu Qiang Qu Shanyu a large area of land, and asked Qiang Qu Shanyu to lead 200,000 troops to attack Huaxia City."
Qing Cang was very angry when he heard this. He couldn't help but swear. "This dog emperor is really awesome. He has no soldiers, but he cedes land to Qianghu and asks them to attack my Huaxia City."
Wu Chaojing asked, "I heard that Qiang Quchanyu was a warlike warrior, and the soldiers he brought were not good people from now on. So how will we deal with it?"
Guo Jia said: "Qianghu is a country with mostly nomadic peoples. Even if they are allowed to give them the Central Plains territory, they are used to nomadic things and do not know how to plant them. Giving them a city is a waste."
Qing Cang's opinion was different. "Although that is the case, if their Qiang Qu Shanyu was good at ruling and allowed these territories to directly pay tribute to them, then their development would be very terrible."
He continued: "Twenty hundred thousand Qiang and Hu soldiers will be a terrifying army."
Qiang and Hu were good at riding horses, mainly nomadic, and their combat power should not be ignored or underestimated.
The Qiang and Hu were actually a small country sandwiched between the Xianbei and the Eastern Han Dynasty. They could survive for thousands of years, which shows that their combat power was extraordinary. If they were allowed to have a piece of land, it would be a terrible existence if they developed.
Wu Chaojing said: "Why don't we kill directly at Qianghu and take the lead in taking the lead?"
Guo Jia directly opposed: "No, it is very unfavorable for us to reach their home court. Besides, I don't know how many soldiers they have. Our only 130,000 people are probably not enough for them to get stuck in their teeth."
Qing Cang thought a little, and finally he finally thought of a solution to the problem, so he said, "Since that's the case, we must make preparations in advance. Minister Wang and Wu You came in, and I have a task to be assigned."
At this moment, a guard immediately ran out to take the two men to the meeting hall.
"Minister Wu, please return the Detachment of Women immediately!"
"yes"
Wu Chaojing withdrew from the meeting hall again. Even Guo Jia couldn't see what Qing Cang would do next.
Chapter completed!
