The infantry team obviously wanted to retreat. Even though they were numerically superior, they just used spears to separate the distance and surrounded them from a distance. The Wuhuan people were more arrogant.
This situation is actually quite rare among the Han people. Ever since Emperor Wu conquered the Huns, the Han people have had a condescending sense of looking down on the Hu people. Few Han people can tolerate the Hu people being arrogant in front of them.
Liu Xiang was very curious, so he asked the team leader stationed at the camp gate: "Why is it like that over there?"
The leader of the team sent someone to inquire about it and reported back: "Several Wuhuan people were infected with the disease and were captured and sent to the camp for isolation. Their companions came to rob them and a conflict broke out."
Then he asked Liu Xiang: "Are Liu Caoyu tired? How about killing them all? Keep away and shoot them with crossbows. The disease will not stick to them."
Liu Xiang quickly shook his head and said to him: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding, but there are people who understand nonsense. Tell them that I am treating their illness."
After asking the entire team, no one could understand the language. Liu Xiang was thinking of returning to the camp to find someone who could speak the language.
I saw a man running quickly on horseback, shouting incomprehensible words. As he got closer to the encirclement, he shouted in Chinese: "Stop, everyone, stop, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
The man said something else, and the conflict was resolved. Because his voice was too low, Liu Xiang couldn't hear clearly what he said.
This was the first civilian patient sent here. Liu Xiang wanted to know the actual situation, so he walked over.
When I got closer, I found that the man was stuffing money into the Han army officers, saying begging words: "Caiguan, please calm down, Caiguan, please calm down, they don't understand human words, let them go once, let me take them back and teach them a lesson."
"
Money is indeed a good thing, and the officer really calmed down.
"You can take those who are not sick with you back, but those who are sick will be sent to the military camp."
The man took out another small pocket. Liu Xiang didn't want to watch the drama about money being able to communicate with the gods anymore, so he interrupted: "Where did they get sick?"
Seeing that Liu Xiang was in a panic, the officer hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, and said: "Greetings to Mr. Liu, some of them are Xianyu Duwei's soldiers. They found those Wuhuan people sick at the city gate and were about to send them to the camp."
Liu Xiang nodded and asked the person who came after him: "Who are you? Are you a fellow patient?"
"A certain person, Yan Rou of Guangyang, pays homage to your husband. I told him that these people are indeed certain companions." Yan Rou clasped her hands and saluted.
Liu Xiang returned the gift and saw that Yan Rou was about seven feet, six or seven inches tall and about twenty years old.
I thought that the person from Guangyang traveling together with the Wuhuan people should be the Yan Rou recorded in the history books.
Yan Rou's life experience is quite legendary. She was captured by Wuhuan when she was young. When she grew up, she gained great prestige among Wuhuan and Xianbei, and was trusted by the barbarians in the north.
Yan Rou later raised an army to avenge Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and was trusted by Liu Yu's subordinates and elected as Sima of Wuhuan.
When Yuan Shao was commanding the four northern states, he also placed great trust in Yan Rou and worshiped him as Colonel Protector Wuhuan.
After the Battle of Guandu, he surrendered to Cao Cao, and was trusted by Boss Cao, who made him a Marquis of Guannei.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he regarded him as a brother and trusted him as an official. He became the general of Du Liao and commanded Youzhou.
This Yan Rou is a guy who is trusted wherever he goes, which is quite interesting.
Liu Xiang is planning in his mind, can he make Yan Rou work for him? After all, according to the records in the history books, Yan Rou is a capable and ambitious person who wants to achieve great achievements. If he is young and has not yet made a fortune, win him over.
, shouldn’t be difficult, right?
Thinking of this, he said to Yan Rou: "My name is Liu Xiang, and I am currently Cao Yu, the governor of Yuyang. Recently, a plague has broken out. Those infected with the disease must be isolated in the military camp. Yan Lang and his companions should accompany me to the camp."
"Ah? I want to go too?" Yan Rou didn't expect that the rescuer would also go in, so she hesitated a little.
"Liu Caopu, I still have some companions waiting. Can you go and settle them first? Then follow Cao Tu to the camp."
Liu Xiangxin said, if I don't get you into the camp, the devil knows where you will go. So he pretended to be in trouble and said to Yan Rou in a very sincere tone: "The plague is vicious, and if you are not careful, disaster will come.
, I am thinking about Yan Lang’s life.
Let's do this. I'll go with you and bring your companions into the military camp. You can't make mistakes, and the plague can't be ignored."
Yan Rou had no choice but to take people to find other companions.
Liu Xiang first led the Wuhuan people who were staying in the camp into the camp for diagnosis, and then ordered a small independent camp to be built for Yan Rou and his Wuhuan companions to live.
After arranging things and passing on the message, I would visit Yan Rou later and then rushed to the county army barracks.
In the county barracks, there are nearly 500 people in the private army of the prefect Zhang Ju who are quarantined. Fortunately, no one among these people has been found to be sick.
Liu Xiang taught them the methods and precautions for disinfection and insect removal, and then hid aside and was lazy.
As long as these things are carried out step by step, Liu Xiang wants to do something else, for example, try to make soap.
With soap, at least the soldiers in the camp can be cleaner and the infection of many diseases will be reduced.
Hope they can recover soon.
Liu Xiang tried hard to recall the process of saponification reaction.
Um……
I can't remember clearly, but it's probably sodium hydroxide, oil and water, and a saponification reaction occurs, and soap and glycerin can be obtained.
It seems that sodium hydroxide can be obtained by soaking plant ash in water? Or is it potassium hydroxide? It seems that alkaline solutions can cause saponification reactions with oils and fats? That's probably the case.
I really miss my third year in high school. At that time, I knew astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. I was a complete mess.
Alas~~
The past is over, let’s focus on the present.
Liu Xiang went to the market and found a lot of good things. The abundance of materials in the Han Dynasty exceeded his knowledge.
Various pottery, lacquerware, as well as agricultural tools and daily necessities made of pig iron. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, iron was already allowed to be privately owned, while pig iron was allowed to circulate among the private sector. Steel was strictly controlled and under the jurisdiction of the iron officials, and was basically used for ordnance manufacturing.
There are a wide variety of foods, seasonings, spices, wood, and medicinal materials. Liu Xiang didn't know many of them, and he also found many surprises.
For example, the thing called Puxiao is saltpeter, isn't it?
It is recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" that during the Warring States Period, doctors used saltpeter to treat illnesses.
The genius doctor Bian Que and the famous doctor Chun Yudao in the early Han Dynasty both used saltpeter in their prescriptions to treat illnesses. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, also recorded prescriptions using saltpeter in his "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", which is a top-grade medicinal material.
For example, what are called stone sulfur and alumite liquid are not just sulfur. Stone sulfur is a natural sulfur ore, and alumite liquid should be sulfur condensed from coal-containing pyrite.
Liu Xiang vaguely saw the big killer weapon called black gunpowder waving at him!
"I will get you out, wait for me, big baby." Liu Xiang couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. With this, who else is he afraid of? Once he puts on his sunglasses, he doesn't love anyone.
After asking about the price, Liu Xiang felt cold.
Puxiao and sulfur are both top-grade medicinal materials, mainly used to make elixirs. Puxiao is called Yinjun, and sulfur is called Yanghou.
Alchemists often use it when refining elixirs, such as refining red lead, five stone powder, etc.
One tael costs a thousand dollars, and a good one costs several thousand dollars. Is there any difference between using this as gunpowder and using gold to hit someone? It will hurt anyway!
Liu Xiang clutched her chest and left, taking away three kilograms of Puxiao and six taels of sulfur. She spent all the gold and was twitching with distress.
Back to making gunpowder, Liu Xiang was thinking about the formula and didn't want to waste a minute.
Finally, under Li Niu's reminder, I remembered the original purpose of the market, which was to buy oil to make soap. I bought ten kilograms of oil and couldn't wait to return to the camp.
