The rules in the army are very large, and one order is prohibited. A military order is a military order, and no one can disobey it. Even if it is an order to have an elite army strong enough to dominate the battlefield, it is the same as guarding the camp.

Gao Yang and his men and horses were ordered to guard the camp and the baggage in the army, including the vital large amount of grain and grass.

This expedition to the White Wave Thieves is different from the last time. First of all, I already knew the strength and movement of the enemy army, and knew that it was nothing more than a rabble of bandits and thousands of Hun cavalry. Secondly, Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to this battle, because there are already faint signs of instability in the Kanto Zhulu. Dong Zhuo didn't want to be attacked on both sides, so he transferred most of the most elite troops. Strive to get rid of the white wave thieves as soon as possible.

The opponent is not strong enough, and his own strength is strong. In this case, as a much-excluded member of the Xiliang army, Gao Yang and this part of the state army under his command naturally became an outlier in the army. For example, this kind of battle is almost a must-win battle, and generally does not give the state army any chance to gain military merits.

Although Gao Yang is brave in martial arts, he has not shown any talent in military strategy. Although those Xiliang generals were afraid of Gao Yang's force, they had no problem suppressing him with a dignified military strategy.

This kind of thing is helpless even for Lu Bu. What's more, Gao Yang, who was also born in the same state and was only a white Ding before, can be changed? When there are good things, it can't be the turn, this is the state soldiers? Treatment.

The logistics camp of Xiliang Soldiers and Horses was set up at the foot of a mountain called Niutou Mountain. The area is very large, and there are more than 10,000 civilian auxiliary soldiers in the battalion. Although Gao Yang was retained, he was not the commander of the logistics battalion. After all, in such an important place as the logistics battalion, it is not the turn of Gao Yang, who has just joined the group, to serve as the guard.

In charge of staying in the camp are Dong Zhuo's lieutenant generals Hu Zhen and Hu Wencai. This is also a strong general in the Xiliang Army, and there is no problem with his ability and qualifications to garrison the barracks.

As for Gao Yang and his soldiers and horses. As before, Hu Zhen was also far away for more than ten miles, far away from the camp. And Niu Fu personally led nearly 20,000 soldiers to go out dozens of miles. Attack the White Wave Thieves and the Huns who are entrenched there.

Gao Yang is very dissatisfied with what he is experiencing now, but he has no ability to change all this for the time being. can only be reluctantly accepted.

Since he can't go to the battlefield and can't return to Luoyang, Gao Yang can only do something else for the time being.

For Gao Yang now, what he needs most is money and food. Only after having a large amount of money and food can Gao Yang expand his strength. And after having strength, what Gao Yang said will be listened to! What you want to do will go more smoothly. In this troubled world, any military general is a military leader, and as long as he has money and food, he can pull up the army.

As for Dong Zhuo's suspicion or something, if you don't have the strength, you will really receive blows and suspicions! Just look at Lu Bu.

What can I do to make money? For Gao Yang, who can't use storage space. The only thing he could rely on now was his own mind.

Winemaking? Looks pretty good. The quality of the liquor in this era was extremely poor, and as long as Gao Yang could make distilled spirits, it would surely be extremely popular. Both civil and military generals like to drink. And the manufacturing process of distilled spirits is not complicated.

It's just that you need food to make wine. At this time, the average yield per mu can be two or three hundred catties, which is already very good. So many people all over the world are hungry, how can Gao Yang take precious grain to make wine? That's not winemaking anymore, it's life!

Paper? Again, the process is not complicated. However, in this troubled world, it is absolutely impossible to quickly accumulate a large amount of money and grain. And there will be very few people who buy it. After all, the knowledge of this era is in the hands of a small number of people.

Movable type printing? Black powder? And so on and so forth. Gao Yang sat in his military tent for a morning and thought of many ways, but there were always such and such unfavorable factors that made Gao Yang give up. In the end, the upset Gao Yang sighed, rubbed his numb legs vigorously, got up and moved his body. At the same time, he instructed the soldiers outside the tent to bring in lunch.

The vast majority of people in this era eat two meals. Because of the lack of food, ordinary people can only eat three meals when the army is out in battle.

Although the Xiliang Army has always been crowded out by the state army, when it went out to fight, it did not dare to lack the slightest shortage of military food supply. After all. They are just squeezing out, and they have no intention of going to war directly. If you dare to run short of military rations during the war, you will inevitably make a big deal.

Looking at the black, sticky paste in his pottery bowl, he smelled the strange smell between his mouth and nose. Gao Yang, who has been eating this food for several days, really can't open his mouth!

Not to mention that this kind of food looks super bad, just the extremely weird taste that makes people unbearable makes the determined Gao Yang desperately sick to his stomach. Gao Yang didn't even know what was in it.

"Smack!" Gao Yang, who was in an irritable mood, put down the pottery bowl in his hand and sighed. He got up and left the tent, ready to go and see the soldiers who were eating.

Gao Yang was going to save his stomach and wait until the evening to have a good dinner. After all, he is a lieutenant who commands thousands of people, and his treatment is naturally different from those ordinary soldiers. Gao Yang will get a supply of a few catties of meat at dinner every day! This is already a high-consumption life in this era.

Gao Yang really hadn't seen the soldiers of this era eat well before this, and he always unconsciously brought himself into another mode. A pattern of looking down that he had become accustomed to, accustomed to for years.

No matter what time and space he is in, Gao Yang usually comes into contact with big people with status, and he rarely cares too much about the soldiers at the bottom. It wasn't intentional, but it was just the way it was.

"What is this?" Gao Yang watched behind a group of soldiers who were gathered around to eat, as a team leader placed a yellow-brown object, like a small stone, in a bowl of warm water. After the small stones gradually melted and stained the bowl of water into a cloudy color, the soldiers poured the bowl of water evenly into their bowls. Looking at the cautious expression, it seemed as if it was a very important thing.

"Lord Lieutenant." After seeing that it was the chief general who was asking loudly behind him, the team of soldiers hurriedly all stood up and saluted.

Gao Yang waved his hand casually, curiously asking what they were using.

"Back to Lord Lieutenant." The team leader looked at Gao Yang with a strange expression, and said in response, "This is salt." ”

"Salt?!" Gao Yang's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief. Stretching out his fingers, the corners of his mouth trembled and asked, "You said this, is it salt?!" ”

Without waiting for the team to answer, Gao Yang suddenly stepped forward, snatched the pottery bowl with warm water, picked it up and sniffed it. With a frown, the probe took a sip of cloudy warm water.

"Bah, Bah, Bah!!" Gao Yang casually threw the pottery bowl on the ground, clutching his throat and vomiting. I didn't see the soldiers' desperate gaze at the broken bowl on the ground.

"Can this also be called salt?!" In addition to a little salty, the strange tastes such as bitterness and sour made Gao Yang feel that he was about to vomit out stomach acid. Gao Yang picked up the clay pot with water on the side and poured several sips.

"Lord Lieutenant." The team leader looked miserable and said, "It's salt." This is the salt we eat. ”

"Why do I eat differently?" Gao Yang understood as soon as he spoke. I am the main general, and the salt I eat is naturally refined salt.

"My lord, you eat the finest salt dug out of the salt ponds and salt wells, and we soldiers can eat this kind of salt. It's already because of the preferential treatment of the army fighting outside. The captain, who was already old and had a weathered face, lowered his head and said silently.

"Huh~~~" Gao Yang raised his head and sighed silently, his heart was gloomy. In this era, this nation has suffered too many grievances. This should not be the case in Huanghuang Huaxia!

Gao Yang didn't say anything more, turned around and left in despair, returning to his camp. After driving all the guards out, Gao Yang, who had a miserable face, took out a few jars of fine wine from the box on the side.

It is not allowed to drink alcohol when the army goes out to fight, and Gao Yang will not take the initiative to violate military discipline before. He is the chief general, and his own violation of military discipline is a heavy blow to an army. It's just that now he really wants to get drunk. The reality is too harsh.

"You have always lived in a time of great material abundance. If nothing else, at least there has never been a shortage of basic living supplies. The origin looked at Gao Yang, who no longer used the wine bowl, but directly picked up the wine jar and poured wine, sighed lightly, and said, "Even if there is storage space in other time and space, it is impossible for you to endure hardship." It's normal not to see these tragic stories. ”

"When will the storage space be available?" I can't wait. Gao Yang put down the wine jar heavily, with water droplets hanging from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of fierceness, and asked in a deep voice.

"I know what you mean, but I don't need it right now." The origin said helplessly, "The supreme authority of the contractor still exists, and it is impossible to open it until this is resolved." ”

"Huh~~~" His eyes became more and more red, his breathing became more rapid, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the wine jar had gradually turned white. Gao Yang's emotions gradually began to get out of control.

After half a sound, with a long sigh, Gao Yang slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already clear. He finally recovered.

"Since you can't fight now, let's go get salt!" Gao Yang, whose eyes were clear again, slowly stood up, and said with a calm face: "People can't live without salt!" ”

After the army's search, Gao Yang went up a river near the barracks and saw a salt mine near a riverside cliff near Niutou Mountain! Gao Yang, who was overjoyed, hurriedly rushed over with his people.

There are no salt ponds or salt wells nearby, and it is thousands of miles away from the sea. If you want to extract salt on a large scale, the only source is which mineral salt.

It may be too difficult for people in this era to purify mineral salt, but for Gao Yang, it is just a very simple matter.

The power of technology is everywhere. (To be continued......) r1292
