"If you don't stop, you can get there in one day."

Although he didn't understand why Wu Liang asked this question, Xiahou Dun still pondered for a moment and said seriously.

This was a relatively accurate answer. After all, he had just arrived from Puyang to Juancheng. He was quite clear about how much effort he would need to spend on the road.

Of course, a day at this time does not refer to 24 hours, but a whole day, almost 12 hours.

"Emmm..."

Wu Liang made an estimate.

An ordinary mature horse can run at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour, or 30 miles per hour.

In 12 hours, that’s about 360 miles.

Of course, this is the speed the horse can run without a camel. If a camel can run long distances at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour, it would be good.

Moreover, horses are animals, not machines, and this speed will gradually decrease as their physical strength decreases during running.

Calculating this way, the distance between Puyang and Juancheng should be about 200 miles.

In addition, when running on land, you must also take into account the detours caused by various terrain factors. It is inevitable that you will have to run some unnecessary distances...

Therefore, the straight-line distance between Puyang and Juancheng is definitely within 200 miles. For his carrier pigeons, it is more than 100 miles.

As far as he knows, the general flying speed of pigeons is 70-110 kilometers per hour, which translates into 140-220 miles per hour.

If it is some well-trained racing pigeons, it can reach 90-150 kilometers per hour.

In other words, from Puyang to Juancheng.

A message that requires a person to ride a horse and run for a whole day to deliver it, but even an ordinary adult pigeon can deliver it in about an hour...

"What do you mean by asking these questions?"

Seeing Wu Liang's thoughtful look, Xiahou Dun waited for a moment and finally asked impatiently.

Wu Liang already had the answer. After he came to his senses, he smiled slightly and said: "It took the Xiahou Prefect a whole day to deliver the request for help, but I, the flying slave, can deliver it in only half an hour. Just imagine.

, Suppose Puyang was besieged by Lu Bu, Xun Yu and Sima could get the news only half an hour later. Apart from the time of gathering troops and horses, he would have dispatched troops to rescue after an hour. I wonder what the Xiahou Prefect thought? "

"Is this true!?"

As soon as he heard this, the impatience on Xiahou Dun's face disappeared in an instant, and he stood up with a "ooh", his eyes almost popping out of his head.

at the same time.

Xun Yu and the other three also looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

If what Wu Liang said is true, then his "flying slave" is the most terrifying weapon in the world today. I dare not say more...

At the very least, it can be worth a hundred thousand soldiers!

What is the most important thing in a war? Apart from strategy and tactics, soldiers, horses, food and grass...the most difficult to control and the most important thing is the fighter plane!

This is also one of the main reasons why powerful powers in this era concentrated their troops in key cities and rarely forcibly divided their forces to control the boundaries of their territories.

Because once an enemy launches a surprise attack without declaring war, the border defenders will basically be in vain.

By the time the news of the attack on the defenders reached the general, the day lilies were already cold. When the general gathered his troops to rush for reinforcements, he would often only receive reports of missed battles from the front line halfway through, and then turn back, beating his chest and feet.

This kind of frustration is really common in this era.

Even a new recruit like Cao Zhen who had barely been on the battlefield was familiar with similar incidents.

But what can anyone do?

To deliver a message, you need people and horses to travel, and it is impossible to fly there directly. You can only make the most reasonable deployment of troops and horses in advance as much as possible to avoid similar situations from happening.

But they are just trying to avoid it. If something like this happens, there is nothing anyone can do.

Just like Boss Cao, who is currently fighting in Xuzhou, it is very likely that he has just found out that Zhang Miao has rebelled, but he still knows nothing about the news that Chen Gong has also responded, let alone whether he should lead his army to rescue him.

.

All that can be done is to call together a group of military advisers, and together they can deduce the current situation in Yanzhou based on the intelligence that has arrived many days late, and then make what they think is the correct judgment.

But Wu Liang's flying slaves perfectly solved this problem that has troubled powerful people from all walks of life for a long time.

"If you don't believe it, Xiahou Taishou, you can go out with me to verify it."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Walk!"

Xiahou Dun stepped forward immediately.

"But... Governor Xiahou, our council..."

Xun Yu said subconsciously.

They had just exchanged what they knew about the situation, and after some deductions, they had just reached the most critical stage of discussing the plan on how to defend themselves against the enemy.

If Wu Liang hadn't arrived just in time, it should have been determined by now.

After all, Xun Yu already had a strategy in his mind that he believed to be effective. At this moment, he was suddenly not allowed to speak, and it felt like a lump in his throat, making him feel unhappy.

What made him even more uncomfortable was...

If what Wu Liang said is true, then as someone who has personally witnessed Wu Liang's idleness and despondency every day, he is about to cry with envy...

God is unfair!

I study ancient books on the art of war every day, and deduce the world's pattern all the time. I work so hard to make progress, and it took me most of my life to get to where I am today, but I can't do any tricks.

Look at this..."incompetent" guy, he can play with pigeons and perform such extraordinary feats!

Why is heaven so unfair!!!

"If we really have this flying slave to help us, the strategy of this battle will be based on this flying slave. At least half of what we just discussed must be overturned and renegotiated. It's okay for this council to temporarily stop!"

Xiahou Dun's thoughts were very clear, he waved his hand and said.

But after saying this, he looked back at Wu Liang, stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Wu Sima, if this flying slave of yours is really useful, I will not give up this face when the envoy comes back.

I will also personally ask the envoy for merit for you, this is an unparalleled achievement!"

"but!"

"If you are here to entertain me, then don't blame me for punishing you for having no military discipline and disrupting military affairs. No matter how great your contribution has been, I can kill you and repay you!"

Faced with Xiahou Dun's warning, Wu Liang was neither humble nor overbearing. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to thank Governor Xiahou for speaking kindly to me in front of the envoy."

In this way, the group left Xun Yu's house and went straight to Wu Liang's small house.

On the way, Cao Zhen came to Wu Liang and asked in a low voice, still a little worried: "Young and talented brother, what are you doing this time? Let me tell you, my uncle Yuan Rang has a bad temper. He said he would kill him.

Then I will really kill you. Don't say it's me when the time comes. Even if Mrs. Ding comes, I won't be able to save you."

"Brother Anmin, isn't this the first day we met?"

Wu Liang smiled.

"Of course not, but..."

Cao Chen still wanted to say something.

Wu Liang had already taken over the conversation and said with a grin: "Brother Anmin, do you think I am someone who dares to make fun of my own life?"

"Of course it's not like you are so afraid of death... In this case, you have achieved this unparalleled feat!"

Cao Chen thought about it for a while, and finally felt relieved. Then he put his arm around his shoulders and said winkingly, "You are a talented and wise brother. We brothers have never distinguished between you and me. If you get my uncle's favor this time, you must take my place for me."
