The big man at the head is called Zhang Cheng, and he is the leader of this team. The entire team is composed of children from Guanzhong and is affiliated with Zuowuwei. However, they are only auxiliary soldiers, responsible for escorting grain and grass, ordnance supplies, etc., and are not the main combat force.
Although they are auxiliary soldiers, they are all very powerful. From them we can see how powerful the Tang army is in combat.
After driving all day, the sun was already setting. In ancient times, it was almost impossible to see the road after dark. In addition, many people suffered from night blindness, so they rarely marched at night.
Zhang Cheng ordered the grain trucks to be surrounded in a circle. On the one hand, this could prevent someone from smearing the grain stealers, and on the other hand, they could form a formation and stand firm when encountering an enemy attack.
Just when Yun Ye was setting up the tent, Zhang Cheng suddenly asked: "I tell you, Mr. Yun Ye, your senior brother is so skilled in martial arts, why are you so weak?"
Yun Ye looked at Qin Hao with a bitter face: "My senior brother has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. I am lazy and afraid of pain and cold, so I didn't follow him."
Zhang Cheng stomped his feet when he heard this, and kept scolding Yun Ye for being a prodigal son. In his opinion, the martial arts skills of his senior brothers were so high, and his master must be even more incredible. Even if he learned only one or two percent, he would be enough to live in peace.
If you don't learn if you feel pain or cold, it is simply a waste of natural resources.
Yun Ye was speechless after being scolded. He was also depressed. He also had nine years of compulsory education. Why was this guy as powerful as Superman?
After the tent was set up, it was completely dark.
Beside the bonfire, the two women accompanying the grain transport team had already started spreading pancakes, which was also Zhang Cheng's dinner.
Qin Hao was already carrying two plump hares and roasting them. The aroma of the barbecue made the entire camp slurp.
Yun Ye whispered to Qin Hao: "Brother, we haven't taken in carbohydrates for a long time. How about we take a hare to eat with them instead?"
Seeing Qin Hao nodding, Yun Ye walked up to Zhang Cheng with a roasted hare.
"Uncle Zhang, we are almost going to vomit after eating this game. How about exchanging this with you for a few pieces of bread?"
"It's strange that you can still vomit after eating meat."
Zhang Cheng naturally understood that this was Yun Ye's good intention, and he was not pretentious: "Then I will thank you two young gentlemen on behalf of the brothers."
Seeing that there was meat to eat, the soldiers crowded over one by one, fearing that it would be gone if they arrived late.
Zhang Cheng laughed and scolded: "You are reincarnated one after another by starving ghosts. How come you have never eaten meat? Don't grab it, you will make people laugh."
Yun Ye asked with some confusion: "Uncle Zhang, I just heard you say that it's already the second year of Zhenguan, why are you still living so hard?"
According to historical records, Zhenguan was the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, when the world was at peace and the people had enough food and clothing.
Zhang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although it has been the second year of Zhenguan, how long has the world been at peace? First there was the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, then the Thirty-Sixth Route rebelled against the king, the Seventy-two Routes of Smoke, and King Changle rebelled some time ago. This
The Qiang people took the opportunity to cause trouble again, and if they survive, they will see smoke rising from their ancestral graves."
Qin Hao secretly sighed. What he described in the magnificent chapter of the prosperous age were all princes and generals. What does it have to do with these ordinary people?
Even in the so-called Song Dynasty, a dynasty that hid wealth among the people, the lives of ordinary people were still difficult, let alone the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin had only been on the throne for two years.
When Yun Ye saw that Zhang Cheng was about to divide the meat, he remembered that he hadn't added any salt when roasting the meat, so he took out the salt he had collected earlier from his pocket and sprinkled salt on the rabbit meat while roasting it.
"Xiao Langjun, what are you..." Zhang Cheng and others were dumbfounded.
Yun Ye didn't notice anything strange at all: "Put some salt. Without salt, the meat has no taste."
"I know it's salt, but you just give us such precious salt..."
"Is salt very valuable? There are salt mines by the river. You can just dig it up." Yun Ye said nonchalantly.
Zhang Cheng and others looked at each other and said, "That salt mine is poisonous. If you eat it, you will die."
"Besides, your salt is better and finer than official salt."
So Yun Ye gave Zhang Cheng and others a junior high school chemistry class, but he lectured for a long time, and Zhang Cheng and others didn't understand a word. They only knew that Yun Ye had the ability to extract fine salt from salt mines.
Yun Ye clasped his hands behind his back and tried to act like an outsider.
"What kind of skill is this? Not only can I do it, but my senior brother can also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Cheng knelt down on his knees, which frightened Yun Ye. With his strength, he could not pull Zhang Cheng and the others up.
"Uncle Zhang, if you have anything to say, what are you doing?"
There was a cry in Zhang Cheng's voice: "You two young men, you are all rough men. Life and death are insignificant. Please save the suffering people in the world."
Yun Ye was stunned. How could he be so good and endanger the people of the world?
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at Yun Ye and said to Zhang Cheng and others: "Get up, all of you. We can present the formula for refining fine salt to the court, but we have to get to the military camp first."
Zhang Cheng stood up after hearing this: "If this is the case, please ask Qin Xiaolang Junyun to report it to Zuowu Wei overnight."
"Uncle Zhang, it's dangerous to ride a horse at night, so there's no rush now, right?"
"Master Yun Xiaolang doesn't know something. My Zuo Wuwei is suffering from a lack of salt, which makes the soldiers unable to kill the enemy. If we had this method of getting salt earlier, we could have defeated the Qiang people earlier. I really can't help it.
Don’t you dare delay.”
Then, Zhang Cheng ordered the two sergeants to get on their horses, and the two knights quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Yun Ye was dumbfounded, and after a long time he murmured: "It turns out that this is the true face of the prosperous Zhenguan era."
The pancakes were doughy pancakes that took a lot of effort to chew, but the soldiers each picked up the roasted rabbit meat and ate it so greasy that they wanted to eat it all with their fingers.
A night of silence.
Perhaps because he had just returned to the human world, Yun Ye slept very soundly last night. When he woke up again, the sun had already appeared. Since Zhang Cheng had given an order before leaving last night to have the grain transport convoy stay put, Sgt.
After getting up, we only checked the grain trucks and counted the quantities, but did not go on the road.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Qin Hao woke up, he sat cross-legged with his legs in a posture with five hearts pointing to the sky. Although he still had not found a way to control the "qi" in his body, Qin Hao
Hao can feel that "qi" is real and that it is very active every morning.
"Mr. Yun Xiaolang, what are you doing there, Mr. Qin Xiaolang? You haven't moved for a long time."
The two women accompanying the grain transport team went to meet their husbands and were considered military dependents. Everyone respected them.
Yun Ye said casually: "Oh, my senior brother is practicing a very powerful internal skill called the Secret of Immortality."
Qin Hao listened on the sidelines and almost took off his shoes and threw them away. This kid also said that he was not good at lying and he would tell lies whenever he opened his mouth.
"I see, I thought Mr. Qin Xiaolang was a monk. He is so handsome. It would be a pity if he became a monk." A woman covered her mouth and said with a snicker.
Yun Ye looked at Qin Hao carefully and had to admit that his "fellow fellow" was indeed quite handsome.
"By the way, Mr. Yun Xiaolang, I see that the clothes you are wearing are all in disrepair. If you don't mind, we still have two sets of clothes here. You should be able to wear them if you change them."
"Then thank you two aunties."
Taking the clothes, Yun Ye returned to the tent first, only to find that he didn't know how to wear these clothes at all.
"You can see that the young man is always enjoying himself. He doesn't even know how to wear clothes."
A woman went directly into the tent to dress Yun Ye, but Yun Ye was so embarrassed that the woman said, "Why are you so embarrassed? If the slave family's first child was raised, he would be as old as you."
Then Yun Ye's cries of ghosts and wolf howls came from the tent. The woman actually stripped Yun Ye naked from the inside out. However, Yun Ye's strength was not as strong as others. Yun Ye, who put on new clothes, was completely naked.
With a "weak, helpless and pitiful" look, Qin Hao almost didn't let Qin Hao succeed.
Just when Yun Ye was about to watch Qin Hao's joke, Qin Hao took his clothes, walked into the tent, and got dressed in three strokes.
"Senior brother, how come you know this?" Yun Ye asked unconvinced.
Qin Hao glanced at him and said lightly: "You can make more girlfriends who like to wear Hanfu."
Yun Ye was instantly defeated.
At this moment, a whistle was suddenly heard and someone shouted.
"There are cavalry galloping over, about twenty of them."
Immediately afterwards, a thunderous sound of horse hooves was heard from far to near, and the ground began to tremble slightly.
This is the cavalry. Twenty cavalry can be so powerful. What a majestic scene it will be if there are thousands of cavalry. Yun Ye can't imagine what the Han soldiers were like in the ancient battlefields where infantry fought against cavalry.
mental state.
"Form up!"
Following Zhang Cheng's loud shout, more than thirty men in the team each picked up their weapons and entered combat mode relying on the grain trucks.
Zhang Cheng was still worried and punched Qin Hao and Yun Ye: "You two gentlemen, go into the woods and hide..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao had already jumped on his horse and snatched a spear from a snatcher. Although the quality was worrying, it was still better than using a knife to kill someone.
"Oh, you two take Mr. Yun Xiao away, and don't come out even if you die!" Zhang Cheng also knew that Qin Hao was very skilled in martial arts, but he couldn't command him, so he could only hope to keep Yun Ye, the firebrand.
After all, no matter how powerful a person is in martial arts, he is powerless against cavalry that is ten times his size. As for them, they are just auxiliary soldiers. Add in the infantry against the cavalry, even if there are grain carts in formation, they are just the mouth of the cavalry.
Side of meat.
The next moment, in the billowing smoke, a cavalry team of more than 20 people had rushed to the outside of the grain truck. The first knight wore a helmet and carried a spear. After tightening the reins, he turned over from his horse and the whole movement
He is very skilled, and he looks like he is a master of horsemanship at first glance.
"It's the captain!"
Zhang Cheng looked surprised when he saw the visitor, and quickly asked someone to move the grain truck to make way for him.
"Where is Zhang Cheng?" shouted the armored captain.
Zhang Cheng quickly knelt down and saluted.
"In your military report, who is the expert who knows how to make salt?" the captain asked eagerly.
Seeing that there was no danger, Yun Ye quickly ran back from the woods, straightened his clothes, and walked to Qin Hao.
Zhang Cheng said quickly: "These are the two young gentlemen."
The captain just glanced at Qin Hao and Yun Ye, kicked Zhang Cheng down, and cursed: "You idiot, just use two babies to make up for it. I'll beat you to death first, which is better than punishing you for lying about military intelligence."
sin."
However, just when the captain raised his whip, he was grabbed by Qin Hao.
The captain didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that with his own strength, this overestimating boy would definitely be dragged to pieces.
However, the next second, the captain's expression changed. The opponent's power was so great that he doubted his life. Even if he suppressed his blush, the whip in his hand could not move an inch.
"You're pretty capable, but you two know how to make salt?" the captain asked through gritted teeth.
Qin Hao shook off the other party's hand, turned to Yun Ye and said: "Junior brother, let's go. Such a contemptuous character can also become a captain. There is no point in wasting our time here."
Yun Ye nodded and followed Qin Hao's footsteps.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng crawled and hugged Yun Ye's thigh, with tears streaming down his face: "You two gentlemen, just take pity on us poor people. Nowadays, people die every day due to lack of salt."
"Master Xiaowei, I, Zhang Cheng, will vouch for my life that these two young gentlemen are really good at making salt."
The school captain was in shock and doubt. Seeing Qin Hao get on his horse, he quickly stopped in front of the horse.
Qin Hao's eyes narrowed: "Get out of the way or die!"
"I was so offended just now. It's not because my captain is judging people based on their appearance. It's really a very important matter. At the third watch last night, two knights knocked on the door at night to report that an expert was willing to donate the method of making salt. The general was very happy when he learned about it.
He was crazy, so he ordered our captain to leave the city at night."
"If you two are unable to make edible salt, Zhang Cheng will lie about the military situation and be punished by beheading. I beat him because the general wanted to spare his life after he has already been punished."
After hearing this, Yun Ye's eyes towards the captain also softened.
Qin Hao remained unmoved.
"After all, you still see that we are young and look down upon others. The method of making salt is so precious. Since you have no sincerity to ask for it, why should we despise ourselves?"
The captain looked up at Qin Hao and found that the young man in front of him had a majestic appearance, and his words were full of force and reason. Moreover, facing the siege of dozens of knights, he remained calm and calm. He was really a little out of this world.
The magnanimity of an expert makes me unable to make up my mind for a moment.
"The matter is of great importance. Why don't you two follow me to Zuowuwei? If you two can really make salt, I am willing to let you go."
When Yun Ye saw Zhang Cheng and others looking at him with earnest expressions, he felt a little soft-hearted for a moment and secretly tugged on Qin Hao's trousers.
Qin Hao ignored it and sneered.
"What if I want your head?"
When the captain heard this, he took off his helmet and gritted his teeth and said: "If you two can solve Zuo Wuwei's shortage of salt and help us in the Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people, why should I be stingy with my head?"
"Okay, then it's settled! Lead the way!"
Zhang Cheng heard this but stopped in front of the captain: "Colonel, no, no."
The captain pushed Zhang Cheng away and said angrily: "Get out of the way, I got a big scar on my head. What's the big deal? Others can die, why can't I?"
"Get on your horse and let's go!"
Twenty cavalrymen lined up and moved Qin Hao and Yun Ye to the front. They were originally going to give Yun Ye a horse. When he learned that he couldn't ride a horse, the captain couldn't help but cast a look of contempt at him.
.
"What's so great about being able to ride a horse? I can also drive, can you?" Yun Ye said angrily.
Qin Hao's horse had no saddle and he couldn't sit still at all. He had no choice but to let the school captain lead him.
They galloped all the way to the Zuowuwei camp. The captain placed the two of them in a tent, while he went to inform the general.
"Senior brother, are you really planning to let him commit suicide?"
"Are you soft-hearted?"
"Although this guy looked a little low on others, he was still a man. It would be a pity to die."
Qin Hao patted Yun Ye on the shoulder: "Don't you realize that this guy's status is unusual? He became a captain at such a young age, and the general entrusted him with such an important matter."
"Senior brother, you still..."
"Things that can be easily obtained are often not cherished. We are penniless now, how can we make a living?"
"Senior brother, do you mean to exchange this salt-making formula for enough capital?"
"Children can be taught."
"But what should we do if the captain gets upset and wants to die soon? The ancients were so stupid, they would really dare to commit suicide just for a promise."
"So, it's up to you."
"...Senior brother, I found that you have a dirty mind."
