Wu Liang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard what Cao Zhen said.

My brother Anmin, you are Boss Cao's nephew, and you want me, an outsider, to put in a good word for you. Don't you think it's weird?

"Brother Anmin, don't be ridiculous. I can't lead troops, kill enemies, govern a city, and make strategies. How can you use me?"

Wu Liang shook his head and smiled.

In fact, even if Boss Cao really relies on him, he will never recommend Cao Zhen to Boss Cao. At most, he will create some opportunities for him to realize his wish by his own ability.

You need to know that in history there was a Situ named Zhao Wen, who was an important official in the imperial court and ranked among the three princes!

He once recommended Cao Pi to Boss Cao.

The results of it?

Not only did Boss Cao not thank him, he also believed that Zhao Wen recommended his son not because his son had real talents and learning, but because he just wanted to take this opportunity to flatter him, or that he was encouraging cliques among his sons.

There was no good intention in the faction's struggle for power, so he immediately became furious and ordered Zhao Wen to be dismissed from his official position.

Of course, according to the analysis of historical process, Boss Cao's move is more likely because he is preparing to become prime minister, and he used this as an excuse to remove this stumbling block in advance.

However, taking this as a lesson, Wu Liang would never recommend anyone to Boss Cao, especially Boss Cao's relatives.

"Actually, I think your strategy is pretty good. When you were in Yuancheng some time ago, didn't you sit on a mountain and watch the fight between tigers and dispatch Hao Meng's troops without losing a single soldier?"

Cao Zhen thought for a while and said.

"That's called cleverness. It's just good luck, and it won't lead to great things. If I were really asked to make suggestions for the envoy, I'm afraid I might miss something important."

Wu Liang hurriedly eliminated Cao Zhen's "misunderstanding" about him, and said, "Brother Anmin, you can rest assured. This time you led the Hu army to obtain the Suihou Pearl, which is a great achievement. Now if it happens again in this Yanzhou battle,

You have made great military exploits in chaos, so that the king will definitely see your talents, so why are you still willing to teach you to stay in the Hu army? Isn't it true that you are overqualified and underused?"

"What you said is true. I have to let my uncle see my ability to lead troops in war first, and he will make his own judgment."

Cao Zhen nodded and said, the fighting spirit in his eyes getting stronger.

…

While talking, the group of people had already moved to Wu Liang's small house.

Wu Liang briefly explained to a few people how to use his "Flying Slaves", and then took out two "Flying Slaves" and gave them to Xiahou Dun for testing.

In order to prevent anyone from cheating during the test.

Xiahou Dun specially ordered his personal guards to take these two "flying slaves" out of the city on fast horses, and ordered them to run to a place twenty miles away in one breath, and then wrote the specific time of arrival on silk, and left a

Only Xiahou Dun and Na's personal guards agreed on a secret code, and then tied him to the "flying slave"'s leg and let him fly as a judge.

Wu Liang and the others were waiting in the small house.

After about half an hour like this.

"Hula la la-"

The two "flying slaves" almost traveled together and fell into Wu Liang's pigeon loft.

"Quick, bring me the silk!"

Xiahou Dun rushed over impatiently, staring eagerly at the pigeon that had been handed over to Wu Liang.

Not only him, Cao Zhen, Xun Yu and others also came over quickly. Although they did not dare to stand in front of Xiahou Dun because of their official positions, their necks were stretched out so long that they almost turned into snake spirits.

"Prefect Xiahou, please."

To avoid suspicion.

Wu Liang did not take the silk tied to the pigeons' legs, but directly handed the two pigeons to Xiahou Dun for him to untie himself.

"Tell the time!"

After acquiring the pigeon, Xiahou Dun was a little nervous.

However, he did not forget about timing, and immediately shouted to the guards behind him.

"Reporting to the prefect, it is now the third quarter of the lunar month of Shenshi!"

A soldier quickly reported.

"good!"

Xiahou Dun looked solemn, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his hands. He was afraid that the treasure would be destroyed by a little force, so he gently and carefully untied the small piece of silk tied to the pigeon's leg.

Then he only kept the silk in his hand, and carefully sent the pigeon back to Wu Liang.

Really good at ink!

If your hand is weak, get out of the way!

Cao Zhen, Xun Yu and others saw it in their eyes and felt anxious in their hearts. This meant that Xiahou Dun was a higher official than them and could not be provoked. If it had been anyone else, they would not just curse in their hearts, but directly curse out their mouths.

After all, the impatience in their eyes cannot fool anyone...

Fortunately, Xiahou Dun's entire attention was on the silk fabrics, so where could he bother to pay attention to them?

finally.

Xiahou Dun opened the small roll of silk and saw a few small words written on it: "The third quarter of Shenshi!"

The Han Dynasty still used the "hundred carving system".

That is to say, day and night are divided into one hundred balanced quarters. The starting point is at sunrise and the hundred quarters are counted before the next sunrise.

For this reason, time units at this time were not as scarce as minutes and seconds like in later generations. "Quarter" was the smallest unit of time... No matter how short it was, only extremely irregular "breathing", "blinking" or "lighting" could be used.

Tea" comes to mind.

However, the "hundred carving system" of the Han Dynasty was slightly different. The "hundred carving system" at this time was a total of one hundred and twenty carvings.

In other words, a moment in the Han Dynasty was not 15 minutes, but 14 minutes and 23 seconds.

besides.

Behind these small words, two small hollow circles were drawn.

This was exactly the secret code Xiahou Dun had agreed upon with his bodyguard. No one else knew it except him and the bodyguard who had not yet returned.

boom!

Under indescribable excitement.

A wave of hot blood rushed into Xiahou Dun's head, and Xiahou Dun's mind was buzzing.

You can’t go wrong!

A whole twenty miles.

The quarter of an hour from being released to returning home has not yet passed!

And it is absolutely certain that these two "flying slaves" are the "flying slaves" brought out by his personal guards!

In addition, these twenty miles were traveled by his personal guards at high speed, and it took nearly half an hour... With such a reduction, it is self-evident how much time the "Flying Slave" spent!

This "flying slave" is simply a divine creature!

At this moment, Cao Zhen and others had also seen the small words on the silk.

Seeing how Xiahou Dun was so excited that he couldn't control himself and his hand holding the silk kept shaking, how could they still not understand the outcome?

"I want to be quiet..."

Xun Yu glanced at Wu Liang with red eyes, his throat became inexplicably dry, and he felt a bit of tearing pain.

"Fortunately, Wu Sima changed my name in advance, otherwise I'm afraid the price would have gone up now..."

Cheng Yu's throat also surged, and he felt extremely lucky in his heart, "It seems that my meteoric rise must be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"Hahahaha, my brother is called Youcai, but none of you are!"

Cao Zhen was elated and extremely proud.

It was so silent for a moment.

Xiahou Dun suddenly grabbed Wu Liang's hand, looked at his face with burning eyes, and then said loudly with a slightly trembling voice: "With you as a flying slave, Yanzhou's situation is determined, and ten more Zhang Miao
