In fact, the carrier pigeon appeared in the historical books, it should be the Wei proton during the Warring States Period to transmit the situation in Xianyang back to China through the carrier pigeon, but it was really widely used in the Tang and Song dynasties, but at this time, the carrier pigeon is not to mention the use of the army, that is, the people are very rare.

So when Cao Jun learned that Liu Lan used carrier pigeons to transmit information, the first thing that came to mind, including Cao Cao, was why we couldn't agree to use carrier pigeons to transmit information, but he just ignored one point, that is, to restrict the transmission of Liu Lan's army carrier pigeons, and if it wasn't for the general's reminder today, maybe he really wouldn't have thought of this.

At present, not to mention that no matter when the carrier pigeon can be used in the army, but the formation of a special force to deal with Liu Lan's character of the Eagle Falcon is undoubtedly a top priority, if such a force can be established as soon as possible, restrain Liu Lan's carrier pigeon, maybe now the battle of Xuzhou will be a different look, they have been fighting with Liu Lan for a long time, not to mention other aspects, just intelligence has suffered a big loss, how can it be possible to gain an advantage under blindness and deafness?

In fact, for such a force, Liu Lan has also considered, but the carrier pigeon that has never missed for so many years makes him full of confidence in the carrier pigeon, plus there is no opponent to use the carrier pigeon to transmit the message, and even Liu Lan has always thought that the situation of the carrier pigeon to transmit the message, the opponents may be completely kept in the dark, in this case, the Eagle Falcon force is not necessary to establish, not so urgent.

But it's no secret that carrier pigeons pass on the news, maybe Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were just thinking about how to follow suit, but this has the same effect, learning and restrictions are not in conflict, but because of the previous surprise and ignorance, now it's not too late to react.

At this time, Liu Lan naturally did not know that the days of carrier pigeon scenery were going to be gone forever, at this moment he was listening to the report of the internal guard on the surrender of Hou Qian, Liu Lan had already prepared for his surrender, three days, if he did not surrender, he would be eliminated, he had no choice but to surrender, Liu Lan put down the letter, and asked Zhao Yun about the news, what he didn't expect was that a distinguished guest came.

Wancheng Zhang Xiu sent someone to discuss the alliance's matter with Cao, and the moment he saw the letter, Liu Lan instantly laughed, a rare guest, and a distinguished guest.

Although Liu Lan has no friendship with him, there is an old saying that is not well, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, in dealing with Liu Lan, of course, the two are friends, and the messenger was summoned into the chamber to listen to him tell Zhang Xiu about the urgent alliance with him.

Liu Lan has been listening quietly, quietly, he needs to determine Zhang Xiu's sincerity, as for whether he will send troops in Wancheng, how big the climate can be after sending troops Liu Lan does not dare to hope, in order to prevent Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao specially asked Li Tong to guard against him, although this Li Tong is not obvious in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is really quite capable, even if Zhang Xiu is a poisonous warrior Jia Xu, but where is his strength, how easy is it for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat Li Tong?

As long as Li Tong is undefeated, then Liu Lan will not be worried, so Zhang Xiu pleaded in the letter to cooperate with him, Liu Lan will not pin all his hopes on him, at best his effect will be stronger than Zhang Ning's Yellow Turban Army, but that's all, even Liu Lan is afraid that this is Jia Xu's trick, so that he can drag Cao Cao in Xuzhou all the time, so that his Wancheng can also sit back and relax.

"Then I don't know when General Zhang Xiu will send troops to Yanzhou?" After Liu Lan and the messenger finished painting the flatbread, he said with a smile.

"It's simple, it's just ......" The messenger's face showed embarrassment, he sighed and said: "I don't know how to open my mouth to General Liu, in fact, my general's current situation is also very difficult, and our biggest difficulty is grain and grass, Liu Biao has always been in charge in secret, but because of Cao Cao's relationship, Liu Biao did not dare to blatantly supply our army, so our army's current self-sufficiency in food and grass is no problem, but if you want to fight, it is absolutely impossible, Therefore, the general of my family hopes that if General Liu can provide convenience for our department in terms of food, then after the grain arrives, our army will advance eastward than the army! Of course, Xuzhou is too far away from Wancheng after all, thousands of mountains and rivers plus it will pass through the states and counties controlled by Cao Cao, it is not easy to reach the completion, but my general heard that the general and Liu Biao have a good relationship, if the general can let him provide 30,000 stone of grain to our army, my general should be grateful. ”

"Thirty thousand stones of grain and grass?" Liu Lan's face turned black in an instant, this is obviously a cheat, if he really agrees, it will be a meat bun beating a dog, and then the reputation of this unjust boss will not be able to escape.

"General rest assured, my lord said that these 30,000 stones of grain and grass will never be for you, they are borrowed."

"To tell you the truth, whether I borrow or want to borrow it, I may not be able to promise you now." Liu Lan knows his own situation, if he agrees, he will definitely not take out the 30,000 stone boat to send to Zhang Xiu now, can only go through Liu Biao, but this comes and goes, and then send it to Zhang Xiu when Liu Biao agrees, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu will have to wait until next year to send troops to Zhang Xiu, and by that time the battle of Xuzhou may have already ended, so ah, Zhang Xiu is treating himself as a Kaizi, if he agrees, not only will the food be gone, but also become a joke of the world, this kind of business that loses his wife and folds the soldiers, How could he possibly agree?

"The food thing is simple, I don't have anything else in Xuzhou, there is money and food, but ......" Liu Lan stretched his voice, enough to hang the messenger's heart to his throat, so he said unhurriedly: "But if it is difficult to receive food from Liu Biao, although I have some friendship with him, it is by no means a close friend as General Zhang understands, but since General Zhang is willing to raise troops to fight Dong, then a certain letter of resignation will be handed over to Liu Biao by your general, so that there will be a lot of unnecessary contact, and secondly, it can also let your general get food as soon as possible and send troops to Yanzhou." It's just that I heard that Li Tong's means are strong, but I don't know if General Zhang can handle it? ”

Although Zhang Xiu has the name of the Gun King of the North, and his subordinates are more poisonous Jia Xu and the fierce general Hu Che'er, but he is born under Li Tong but can not get any benefits, Liu Lan said this, just to determine how he should write Liu Biao's letter, he knows the importance of his letter, if his answer satisfies him, and is sure that they are indeed capable of assisting him in dealing with Cao Cao, then he will naturally do his best, if it is to cheat some grain and grass, then he will use a letter to send him away.

Liu Biao treated Zhang Xiu, just like Tao Qian did to himself, Liu Biao wanted Zhang Xiu to guard the door for himself, and was afraid of luring wolves into the house, once Zhang Xiu had enough food and grass, it was not sure whether to attack Yanzhou or Jingzhou.

In fact, the carrier pigeon appeared in the historical books, it should be the Wei proton during the Warring States Period to transmit the situation in Xianyang back to China through the carrier pigeon, but it was really widely used in the Tang and Song dynasties, but at this time, the carrier pigeon is not to mention the use of the army, that is, the people are very rare.
