"Lord Lieutenant." Gao Yang's subordinates were originally all soldiers from the state, and they were much more familiar with this place than Gao Yang. Seeing that Gao Yang was preparing to dig a salt mine on the riverside, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "The salt here is poisonous. People who eat it will have abdominal pain and diarrhea, and they will die if they eat it. ”

These soldiers all regarded Gao Yang as a fool who didn't understand things at all, and they were afraid that he would really let the whole army eat this poisonous salt that would poison people.

"I know!" Gao Yang waved his hand a little impatiently, and shouted in a deep voice, "Dig for me, come a thousand catties first!" ”

For an organized army, this kind of work is very simple. Although they didn't know what the chief general wanted to do, the good military discipline made the sergeants quickly obey Gao Yang's orders.

After a hammer flew over, the sergeants carried more than 1,000 catties of salt ore back to the barracks.

Gao Yang is now a little grateful for the alienation and exclusion of those Xiliang troops. What he is doing now needs to be kept secret, and it is better not to be in the logistics camp.

The big tent of the Chinese army, asked in a deep voice.

Gao Shun, whose battle armor was abnormally clean, looked up at Gao Yang, his eyes were full of determination, "Lord Duwei, but if you have orders, don't dare to disobey!" "As an excellent general, since Gao Shun has followed Gao Yang, then he will definitely be loyal! Gao Shun's loyalty has been tested by thousands of years.

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded, took a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Gao Shun. He said, "Buy this stuff back." Be quick, and keep it secret. You go and buy it yourself, and you go with someone you can trust. It is absolutely not allowed to let others know what exactly was bought. You write down this piece of paper and burn it. ”

"The last general commands." Although he was very dissatisfied with Gao Yang's inexplicable order in his heart, as an excellent soldier, Gao Shun still completed the task arranged by Gao Yang very seriously.

When Gao Yang used to go to school, he did know how to purify edible salt from mineral salt. But he has already graduated for so many years, and of course the physical chemistry he studied has long been returned to the teacher. He hadn't even seen what real salt looked like in years. At this time, if you want to purify from mineral salt, you can only rely on the origin.

I have to say, although the origin usually likes to watch something similar to Snow White who likes to eat apples. Conan, who will never grow up, the story of Simon's great official, and so on. However, when he was bored, he had also seen some useful things, such as how to easily purify edible salt from mineral salt.

Gao Shun did things very carefully, and before dark, Gao Shun quickly returned to the barracks with what Gao Yang wanted.

Gao Shun, who was dressed neatly again, came to Gao Yang and returned the order, "Lord Duwei, the last general is something to buy in a different place." ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang looked at the various tools piled up together with satisfaction, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Select a group of reliable sergeants and bring them over with water." Send troops to surround the perimeter. Dare to peep and take it immediately! Do you understand? ”。

"The last general commands!" No matter what he thought in his heart, Gao Shun still meticulously carried out Gao Yang's orders.

In fact, it is not difficult to purify edible salt from mineral salt, the difficulty is that people in this era do not know what filtration and purification are.

The salt is ground first, then put into a wooden barrel and mixed with water to melt into a liquid state. After that, the sackcloth is used as a filter screen to filter in different wooden barrels over and over again, and most of the dregs are filtered clean, and then charcoal is used to absorb the last toxic minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, nitrate and so on. These are all minerals that are harmful to the human body. The final step is simple. Set up an iron pot and boil over the fire. The detoxification solution is boiled into crystallization and it is completed. The salt thus analyzed is even better than the fine salt produced in the salt ponds.

When the origin of the process was revealed, Gao Yang smashed it and said that he knew it, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Of course, this kind of talk is not only contemptuous of the origin. There is no other use.

From the beginning of grinding the mineral salt, Gao Shun's expression became more and more serious, and the expression that originally looked like a 10,000-year-old poker face slowly changed from surprise to excitement, and waited until the white crystals were boiled in the iron pot. Gao Shun's eyes were already full of ecstasy. Without waiting for the salt water in the iron pot, Ao Gan pounced suddenly, and took out a small piece of salt with trembling hands and put it in his mouth. Then he closed his eyes. The muddy tears rolled down completely uncontrollably!

The boy has tears and doesn't flick. It's just not to the sad place!

Gao Shun is not from a wealthy family. On the contrary, he came from a poor background and suffered endlessly since childhood. Naturally, I understand the pain of salt deficiency. If you don't eat salt, you have no strength, your whole body is weak and weak, you are listless, you vomit and you have diarrhea and so on. If you don't eat salt for a long time, you'll die.

Gao Shun has seen the pain of those who can't eat salt. He himself suffered from this. Even if you can eat salt, it's the kind of inferior salt full of impurities. He never thought that those mineral salts that would be poisoned if eaten could be turned into high-quality salt for human consumption!

"Poof." Gao Shun, who still had tears on his rough face, knelt on the ground, kowtowed hard, choked and said, "General Xie's method of making salt!" ”

As mentioned earlier, the Western Liang Army squeezed out and merged with the state army. Although it is like Lu Bu, the treatment of these generals will not have any impact on Gao Shun. But the ordinary soldiers are different.

Now they can only eat some miscellaneous salt when the army goes out. If you are stationed in Tun, you can't even eat this miscellaneous salt! Now Gao Yang has made this kind of purified salt, and he has directly rescued countless people.

Without waiting for Gao Yang to say anything, Gao Shun suddenly stood up, drew his knife with a 'choking' sound, and slashed at the sergeants in charge of salt production.

The knife flashed, and before a soldier in charge of boiling salt water could react to what was going on, he saw that the long knife with a cold light had stopped less than three inches next to his neck, and he immediately fell to his knees in fright.

Gao Yang, who was holding Gao Shun's knife wrist tightly, looked at Gao Shun and shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "No need." ”

Gao Shun, who had a complicated gaze, lowered his eyelids and whispered, "Yes." ”

The sergeants who had just walked around from the Ghost Gate immediately understood, and they all hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gao Yang. He swore that he would never sell the method of salt production.

"You'll be responsible for this matter from now on." Gao Yang let go of Gao Shun's wrist, turned around and sat down on the main seat. He poured himself a glass of water and said in a deep voice, "The method of making salt must not be leaked." This is the biggest source of our military spending in the future! No one can live without salt! Do you understand? ”。

"The last general commands!" Gao Shun's voice carried an irrepressible sense of determination

After Gao Yang explained the matter of salt production to Gao Shun, he turned his attention back to the battlefield. For him, it is important to rush back to Luoyang City as soon as possible. Judging from the time, it won't be long before the Kwantung Coalition Army will start crusading against Dong Zhuo.

Niu Fu is also a famous general who has been in battle for a long time, and the elite of the Xiliang Army is far beyond those white wave thieves. If it weren't for the complicated terrain here in Hedong, with hills, rivers and dense forests, the battle would not have dragged on until now.

After the last failure, Niu Fu's use of troops this time was much calmer. It's all about squeezing the space of the white wave thieves little by little with their strong strength, trying to consume them alive.

The natural environment of this era is completely different from that of 2,000 years later. To the east of the river, there are real hills everywhere, and the mountains are all dense forests. There are countless poisonous snakes and beasts in the woods. If you go into the woods, it would be a great blessing for one out of ten people to come out.

Add to that the almost ubiquitous variety of streams and rivers. The terrain environment is absolutely complex. The scope of the movement of the army is naturally small.

Niu Fu used his strong Xiliang soldiers to compress the living space of the white wave thief little by little. forced them to either flee and then suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry. Either desperate resistance, which is eventually exhausted.

As for the Huns, they never appeared on the battlefield. I don't know if I've already fled or if I'm hiding in the shadows and planning something.

In this increasingly unfavorable situation, Guo Tai, Yang Feng and others, who were carried away by the previous victory, finally calmed down. Only then did I suddenly find that Niu Fu, who was calm with soldiers, had actually firmly touched them!

The best time to escape has been missed. In the past few days, the two armies have been in intensive contact and have been engaged in constant battles, and the distance between them is not far away. If the white wave thief escapes now, he will inevitably be pursued by those wolf-like Xiliang Iron Riders. Even if these generals can escape, the soldiers and horses under their command will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and even if the whole army is wiped out, it is not impossible.

Without soldiers and horses in their hands, what can they count?! When the time comes, don't say that the army will encircle and suppress them, even a group of officials will be able to tie them up!

remembered that after defeating Niu Fu not long ago, he tied all the captured Xiliang troops with ropes and poured them down, sank them into the oil pot and fried them alive. If they are captured by the Xiliang Army, what kind of miserable fate will they have?!

"Damn, how did these Xiliang troops come so fast!" Mrs. Guo, who was full of beard, was full of depression on her face. I had just defeated the Xiliang Army before, who would have thought that they would make a comeback so quickly?!

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Yang Feng, who looked calm, stroked his beard, turned his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to turn defeat into victory now, the only way to win is to surprise your soldiers!" ”

"Surprise?" Guo Tai's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "You mean, let those Huns"

"That's right." Yang Feng snorted coldly and said, "We're done, don't think about any good end for those Huns!" For today's plan, the only way to do this is to send surprise soldiers to cut off the grain route of the Xiliang soldiers. After a pause, he muttered for a moment, and then said, "No! Cutting off the grain route is of no great use. They are all cavalry, they come and go like the wind, and it is not difficult to return to the big camp. If you want to defeat the Xiliang army, you can only burn down their camp with one fire! ”

"Fire attack granary?!" (To be continued......)
