Speaking of Qing Cang's marriage for Guo Jia, because of Guo Jia's strong opposition and escape, this matter ended up in the end. Qing Cang did not pay attention to it anymore because it was too anxious. He focused on the ships intercepting Cao's army.

When he sent Zhao Zilong, it was already the end of 196 AD and the beginning of 197. After more than half a month, a telegram finally came back.

A total of two telegrams were sent back. One was from Zhao Zilong and the other was from Zhang Liao.

Zhao Zilong said that he chased the Korean army's ships all the way, but time passed too long so that he did not catch up with Cao's army. When they chased Tongguan, Cao's army had been away for many days.

This is not to say that their warning was not fast enough, but was caught off guard by Cao's army. The place they chose was too remote. When the news came back, it was too late. Their speed could be said to be the fastest existence in the world. Even they could not catch up. No one in the world could catch up.

Zhang Liao's telegram and news were not good to the people of the Chinese Army. His telegram said that when they rushed to Sishui Pass, Cao's army was not sure where they ended.

During this period, they all mentioned that they had won two passes and killed the defenders stationed at the passes. He occupied these two places and did not get any key news.

Guo Jia said: "Has the interception failed?"

Qing Cang said: "That's true!"

Xun Yu said: "This man named Black Dragon is really terrible. He should be the only enemy in our Huaxia City, right?"

He was right at all. The Black Dragon is probably a big obstacle in Huaxia City, which is a huge obstacle.

Qing Cang said: "No matter how strong he is, in front of me, he still has the life to fail."

The two major staff members also agreed with Qing Cang's words, and they said: "Yes, we also believe that the commander can lead us to the forefront. With our military strength, it can be said that no matter how many black dragons there are, they will eventually fail."

This comes from admiration for Qing Cang, and he doesn't think he will fail, which will inspire him to take a step forward.

He also said, "Let Commander Zhao and Commander Zhang return first!"

The two of them are not very safe there. If they are discovered by the Black Dragon, it may be unfavorable to them, so Qing Cang wants them to return so that other arrangements can be made.

"yes!"

This will be arranged by intelligence personnel.

As soon as the intelligence personnel went down, Bai Ye and Yang Xiaomei arrived at the same time. Obviously, Qing Cang already knew about their arrival. Bai Ye must have brought good news. Yang Xiaomei was probably bad news and she would come to report it in person. This time should be no exception.

The two of them had met Qing Cang, and Qing Cang said to Yang Xiaomei first: "Captain Yang, what information do you have today?"

Yang Xiaomei is now full of the charm of a mature woman. Now she is no longer an ignorant girl. Now she has never been married. It is no wonder that few such a strong woman are worthy of her. Except for a few people above the master level, but at the master level, the level does not match, so I guess she dare not pursue it. There are only six people above the military level, one Qing Cang, three commanders and two staff members. The scope is so small that there are not many people who can choose. Qing Cang has talked to her several times, but she always keeps her mouth: "I want to give everything to the Chinese Legion, and I want to give everything to the commander until I die."

When she said this, Yang Xiaomei's eyes never left Qing Cang.

Like Guo Jia, Qing Cang didn't care about her anymore, maybe it was time not coming.

Yang Xiaomei said: "Commander, today I received news compiled by intelligence personnel that Yuan Shu was the emperor! Cao's army sent Lu Bu to attack at this time!"

This message is considered neutral, but there are still some doubts.

Speaking of Yuan Shu, I have to talk about his strength at that time.

From the perspective of origin, Yuan Shu was born with a noble family and was the legitimate son of the Yuan family of Runan. The Yuan family was the top rich gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His disciples and former officials were all over the world, with extremely high political resources, connections and social reputation. Other heroes were unable to compare with each other. Even the royal family members such as Liu Yan and Liu Biao were not good. The concubine's son Yuan Shao was able to make a prosperous career in Hebei with a sign of the Yuan family and became the overlord of the north. The influence of the Yuan family can be imagined. The legitimate son Yuan Shu inherited most of the power and influence of the Yuan family. He was named the queen general by the court as the imperial court, and was veritable as the general. Liu Bei had been living for half his life to get a left general and climbed to the same level as Yuan Shu who had just debuted. When Yuan Shu was successful, Liu Bei didn't even have to beat soy sauce.

In terms of territory, Yuan Shu occupied the wealthy Nanyang, Runan and Jianghuai areas. Although the territory is not large, it has a large population and sufficient money and food. Nanyang was the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Runan was the second largest county, and any of them could surpass a state in other places. During the heyday of Yuan Shu occupied Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and Jingzhou, and was a veritable overlord of the south. The war was fought for population and national strength. Yuan Shu dared to be the emperor, so he naturally had his confidence.

The only person who dared to challenge Yuan Shu at that time was his brother Yuan Shao, whom he had always looked down upon. Yuan Shao once led the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo, and this appeal was not something that ordinary people could have.

In recent years, Cao Cao has not forgotten to win over Yuan Shao and eased Yuan Shao's power by being appointed as an official, so as not to make Yuan Shao's evil intentions. However, Cao Cao was not afraid of Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu was called emperor.

This obviously did not take Cao Cao in his eyes, and declared war on Cao Cao, and he did not inherit the Han rule. But he still made the emperor when he chose the wrong choice. Now the Cao army is not the Cao army in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao has a modern army and he has the black dragon to assist. This time, Yuan Shu is probably in danger.

Guo Jia analyzed: "With the current strength of Cao's army, Yuan Shu will definitely be killed now! As long as Lu Bu's army arrives, it will be the time for Yuan Shu to fail."

You should know that Cao Cao's army forced Huaxia City, which is known as the number one military power, to fight for nearly three days. Just Yuan Shu wanted to be emperor, so he was simply a desperate attempt.

Xun Yu said, "Staff General Guo said it very well, but Yuan Shu occupied a lot of cities and had a wide sphere of influence. It would probably take one month to take him down, and the slowest would be two months."

Yuan Shu's power is not a single city, but a large number of cities are connected in parallel. If you want to contact his place, you must destroy his subordinate cities. Calculate one city a day, one month is about the same, and the number of days of marching must be deducted, so Xun Yu said it very reasonably.

Guo Jia added: "If this is the case, then Cao's army will spend at least a month on Yuan Shu, which may be an opportunity."

His words aroused Qing Cang's thoughts, or it was really an opportunity, and he had to take the initiative.

Qing Cang said:

"Staff General Guo is very reasonable. At this time, they steal our steam engine and will definitely study it. It is unlikely to increase military strength in a short period of time, or this is an opportunity. I decided to go to Xuchang in person!"

Everyone was shocked by this decision. They didn't expect that Qing Cang wanted to kiss him to Xuchang. Xuchang was the base camp of Cao's army. Isn't they looking for death when they go to their base camp?

Guo Jia was the first to come out to object: "Commander, I can't live without you in Huaxia City! It's the base camp of Cao's army, so it's probably a lot of luck to go there!"

Xun Yu also said: "Yes, that's too dangerous. If you fall into the treacherous plan of Cao's army, then the entire Huaxia City will no longer exist! This is the cause that the commander has worked hard for many years!"

Yang Xiaomei also said: "Yes, the two major staff members are right, Commander, please consider it!"

"Don't persuade me. I will only bring one person here. They don't know that I will go to them, right? As long as there is no need to mobilize the troops, I will destroy the steam engine they stole first and return."

As long as they are not allowed to study their steam engines, Huaxia City can still lead for decades. You should know that it is quite difficult to create a steam engine out of thin air. Although they all understand the principles, understanding the principles does not mean that they can be quickly made. This also includes the cooperation of some accessories, which cannot be completed overnight. Without comparison, the difficulty will be increased by thousands of times.

"But……"

Everyone wanted to persuade him again, but Qing Cang refused.

"Don't say anything more, I'm determined. Come on, let Zhou Cang come!"

As a guard, Zhou Cang was completely competent. From Pingyuan County at that time to the present, Qing Cang still trusted him very much.

So someone went down to puppet Zhou Cang, and after a while, Zhou Cang came to see him.

"Zhou Cang, please prepare and follow me to Xuchang tomorrow morning."

"Yes! Commander, are we the only two?"

"Yes, two are enough!"

The two of them once went deep into the enemy's camp, and this time everything will happen again. Zhou Cang did not ask more questions, so he went down to prepare for the matter.

Qing Cang also said, "Remember, I must not know about this when I go out. Also, you can create a few dummies in my shape and appear on the city tower every three or five days, because there is already a Black Dragon Informer in my city."

The purpose of doing this is very obvious. He didn't want Heilong to know that he had left Huaxia City. Otherwise, the subsequent things would be quite difficult.

The two major advisers responded: "Yes!"

"Captain Yang, you must organize some major events every day and send them regularly. I will receive them at that time, and use this password book."

Qing Cang handed over the password book prepared in advance to Yang Xiaomei. In this way, only this telegram would probably not be cracked by the Black Dragon, because the password book is exclusive, and there are only two copies in the world, Qing Cang and Yang Xiaomei each.

"Yes! I will definitely do it."

Yang Xiaomei took the password book and said that this matter was quite serious. There must be no errors, otherwise it may cause Qing Cang to be in danger. Then it will kill Qing Cang.

Finally he said:

"By the way, there must be a group of forces on each train to protect it. Once a situation occurs, immediately burn the wolf smoke. The nearest legion must go to support it. And strengthen patrols along the railway!"

This is to prevent the steam engine from being stolen again. After being lost once, this kind of thing cannot happen again the second time, otherwise it will be a massacre. Not only for Cao's army, but also for the Shu army under Heilong's army is also eyeing him. He must prevent everything that may happen.

Guo Jia quickly replied, "Yes!"

...

After arranging these, he realized that Bai Ye had been hung up a lot by him. He asked, "Bai Ye, what's the matter with you today?"

Bai Ye didn't dare to speak until Qing Cang asked him, "Go back to the commander, I'm here to report on the phased results."

"Oh? Say it quickly!"

"Report to the Commander, I have a few things to report to you this time.

First, thirty armored vehicles mentioned last time have been built, and the transformation of tracks has been put into the process, and there has been a preliminary plan. We have found a way to transform tracks. I believe that the new tracks will be put into production in a short time.

Second, the internal combustion engine has already had a preliminary plan. Because its precision is greater than that of the steam engine, we have to wait until the casting level meets the standards and we will produce some parts first. However, we cannot guarantee the time, because these parts need to be very precise.

Third, through your delivery book, we found several oil fields in the Southern Xiongnu, but the mining has not met the standards yet. We need some equipment to achieve mining and canning. As for transportation, it can be achieved through trains."

Bai Ye’s style of doing things is somewhat like Qing Cang. He has one, two, and three in everything, and the classification is very clear and clear.

"Very good, I'll talk about it one by one, because I will go out for a while and if I encounter something that cannot be solved in the future, you can find two major advisers."

"Yes, Commander, please speak."

"First, thirty armored vehicles are enough at present, because now, Cao's army will not attack again. If it attacks, then thirty vehicles can completely crush them. So there is no need to produce them after thirty vehicles. Until the crawler transformation plan comes out, mass production will begin. The second batch of mass production is one hundred, no need to be more. This quantity is just right, and the extra one will be wasted, whether it is raw materials or energy coal mines."

Bai Ye picked up the pen and wrote it down one by one.

"Secondly, the progress of the internal combustion engine is not fast enough. I want you to be faster. No matter how many talented people are recruited or how much money it costs, it must be completed, because it will be the hope of the future. Whether China can dominate the future depends on it. There is another special note, that is, I want you to transfer the research and development of the internal combustion engine underground, and all confidentiality levels must be achieved to the highest level!"

The steam engine incident made him very scared. If the internal combustion engine is learned by the enemy again, the subsequent development may be very unfavorable to him.

The internal combustion engine can be used in a wide range of applications. The navy, army, air and other armies need it. With it, it is no longer a dream to strengthen the army, and it can also touch the tentacles to a more distant place.

"I understand! Starting today, we will transfer our research to the underground."

"This third is as important as the second. The mining of oil fields must not be kept confidential because it is too conspicuous. Keeping it confidential is futile, but it does not mean that we do not pay attention to it. Mining is only the first step. Next, a chemical team will need to extract the oil, and this matter will be left to you Bai Ye to complete. At the same time, from now on, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Bai Ye was frightened by the sudden official position. "Minister...Minister?"

"Yes, I give you the power to manage everything. I don't want you to do some things with your own hands. You have more important things to accomplish, that is, to control the overall situation, to discover capable people, and to serve my Huaxia City."

"Yes! Commander, I will definitely not let you down!"

Bai Ye seemed very interested, and this wave of Ce Feng came very suddenly, which also showed Qing Cang's trust in him.

"Okay, go and arrange your job quickly. I hope I can hear good news from you when I come back."

"Yes! Commander!"
Chapter completed!
