Sunset!

The last rays of golden sunlight shine on the white salt flats, and the calm of the Chaka Salt Lake not far away is like a mirror, there is not even a trace of wind, and the white clouds in the sky are reflected in the calm water, which is particularly spectacular.

"Sure enough, it's the realm of the sky, and heaven and earth are one." Merton looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him obsessively, Rao was in the middle of the battlefield, and he couldn't help but indulge in it.

"Everyone in the world thought that Tuyuhun was a barbarian land, but they didn't expect that there would be such a fairyland-like place." Li Jing on the side couldn't help but admire.

On the entire battlefield, I'm afraid the two of them are the most idle, the whole army is fighting, only the two of them still have leisure to watch the scenery.

Soon the sound of fighting in the distance gradually stopped, and the cheers of the Tang army's victory continued to come.

"General Qiyu, our army beheaded 18,000 Tu troops, and the Tuyuhun rout fled westward." Cheng Yanjin said excitedly, this assault can be described as a complete victory.

The only pity is that there are many horses in Tuyuhun, and there are still a lot of Tuyuhun routs who fled, and the Tang army came from afar, chasing and killing only a few dozen miles, and they were already exhausted, so they had to withdraw their troops in Mingjin, and the Tuyuhun cavalry survived and fled in embarrassment.

"Have you ever seen Fu Yun?" Merton asked impatiently.

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said: "Fu Yun is not here, he fled west one step earlier, this place is the three tribes of Tugu Hun Tianzhu, which is led by the Tianzhu King, but unfortunately he was taken advantage of by the Tianzhu King to run away." Cheng Yanjin said regretfully.

The three tribes of Tianzhu are the main force of Tuyuhun, with prosperous people and many cavalry.

For the escape of the Tianzhu King, Cheng Yanjin was very sorry, for the Tianzhu King, a minister. Everyone has already gritted their teeth, and the most frequent invasion of the Tang border is the three tribes of his Tianzhu, and this Tang army raid finally recovered a little interest.

"That's okay, after this battle, Tuyuhun has no chance to turn over." Li Jing suddenly said with a smile on his face, the three tribes of Tianzhu are the main force of Tuyuhun, and after this battle, there is no Tuyu army on the northern front that can threaten the Tang army.

"General Qiyu! This battle was a great victory, and our army captured 200,000 cattle and sheep this time. Duan Zhixuan came over and said excitedly.

"Two hundred thousand heads." The generals who heard the news couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, the three tribes of Tianzhu deserve to be the top tribes of Tuyuhun, they are so rich, 200,000 cattle and sheep are several times more than the cattle and sheep captured by the Tang army in the previous three big victories! With this batch of cattle and sheep, Tang Jun finally didn't have to worry about grain and grass.

200,000 heads of cattle and sheep, if transported to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, it is probably an astonishing fortune.

"This time, the cattle and sheep that will owe ink sacrifice wine can finally be paid off." Li Jing laughed, looked at Merton and couldn't help but laugh, in order to make compressed dry food and treat the night blindness of the Tang Army soldiers, the cattle and sheep needed were all borrowed by Merton, and with these 200,000 cattle and sheep, it is enough to pay it back.

The generals also looked at Merton, couldn't help but smile, and suddenly realized that perhaps the most confident that the Tang Army could win was the Mo family, from the very beginning, Merton never thought of the possibility of defeat of the Tang Army, and has always fully supported it.

Facing the ridicule of the generals, Merton said arrogantly: "Although 200,000 cattle and sheep are worth a lot, if they are compared with the lake in front of them, I am afraid it is like a drop in the bucket." ”

"Nothing?"

The generals couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the salting of the white flowers by the lake, and then said thoughtfully: "What the ink sacrifice wine says is salt!" ”

Cheng Yanjin bent down to find a clean place, dipped a little salt stain and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a bitter, astringent and salty taste was from this ration, and quickly took off the kettle on his waist, poured a few mouthfuls and rinsed his mouth, shook his head and said: "This salt can't be eaten." ”

"Of course you can't eat it, but if you use the secret technique of the Mo family's salt making, the salt all over the ground can be turned into exquisite and delicious fine salt, and it is inexhaustible." Merton said proudly, took off the sword, and slashed to the ground, only to see that there was no soil in the whole ground, but a thick layer of salt, and they were all standing on the endless salt.

Li Jing looked at the salt layer about ten miles wide from the edge of the lake, and couldn't help but gasp, so much salt is as worthless as soil here, but if it is processed, its value is probably incalculable when it is transported to the mainland.

"There are hundreds of salt lakes in Tuyuhun, four of which are comparable to the Chaka Salt Lake, and there is also a Zarhan Salt Lake in the northwest that is several times larger than the Chaka Salt Lake. Merton said leisurely.

Many generals from poor backgrounds can't help but be happy in their hearts, they know that there is a shortage of salt for the people, and the price of salt is expensive, but it is indispensable, and the people are miserable, and the salt layer here is like mud and sand, which is not worth anything at all, and the only cost is processing and transportation

With the salt of Qinghai, the price of salt will definitely drop sharply, and hundreds of people will benefit from it, so the value of Chaka Salt Lake may really be above the value of this batch of cattle and sheep.

"This salt is worth a thousand gold, then it can't run, and we can only eat a handful. I'll definitely be able to have a full stomach tonight, but I heard that you kid has brought a lot of hot pot seasonings, so don't hurry up and contribute it. Cheng Biting Jin salivated.

"Hot pot seasoning?" The generals couldn't help but light up their eyes, and they all looked at Modon with ill intentions, you must know that the hot pot came from Mojia Village, and the most likely hot pot seasoning is probably Merton, in the past few days, they have eaten either dry food or boiled mutton, and the corners of their mouths have long faded out of the birds, if there is a fragrant hot pot at this moment, it is probably the supreme enjoyment.

Morton secretly scolded Qin Huaiyu and the three of them for not saying a word, the four of them just secretly ate hot pot once, and they were detected by Cheng Biting Jin.

"Don't grab too much, there's only one left." Faced with the encirclement of the generals, Merton hurriedly and obediently took the initiative to hand over a hot pot base in order to protect himself.

Duan Zhixuan couldn't wait to grab it and arrange it to slaughter cattle and sheep tonight for dinner.

"You kid is very slippery, I don't believe you can bring one." Cheng Yanjin circled around Jueying, reached out and used a knife to handle one, and suddenly another package of hot pot seasoning fell into his hand.

"This is really the last pack." Merton said with a bitter face.

"And what about this?" Li Daliang didn't know when, touched it, also held a bag of spices, and said with a ruffian smile.

"This time it's really gone." Merton said dejectedly.

Until the end, each of the generals left satisfied, leaving the empty backpack on the back of the Shadow Horse.

"Come on, pick a three-year-old cow for Lao Tzu and slaughter it, Lao Tzu has eaten the old beef for a whole winter, and he has long been tired of eating it." Cheng Biting Jin shouted in a thick voice.

The generals immediately burst into laughter, these old beef are still made by Merton, fortunately, there is still beef to eat, if it is placed before, if you want to eat a meal of beef, you have to sneak it up.

When night fell, the bonfire was lit, and the beef that was cut into thin cicada wings was rolled into the steaming hot pot, sprinkled with a pinch of green salt, Merton sat beside the generals, and took a deep breath of fragrance, even if it was surrounded by 200,000 cattle and sheep, and stepped on the salt layer worth thousands of gold, it was not as good as the celebration banquet after the victory in front of him.
