The east is red, the sun is rising, and the eight chief managers almost didn't sleep all night last night, and they listened to the sound of tearing and killing in the Liang camp ten miles away in the camp all night.

Last night, Liang Ying was in chaos all night, and the fire was soaring, and it was not until almost dawn that the shouting and killing stopped.

How much the eighth chief wanted to lead the troops to rob while the fire was burning, but Li Chao had already issued a military order, prohibiting attack, and those who violated the order would be beheaded.

An unbearable night.

Li Chaozhi slept until the sun was on the tent, and then got up.

Walked out of the tent, stretched his waist and yawned, saw Liang Shidu's head last night, and knew that Jihu had already done it, Li Chao slept with confidence. Along the way, I was in a hurry, thinking about all kinds of calculations in my head all day, it was very hard, and I was completely relaxed, and I slept quite well in this battle.

Taking the toothbrush handed by the tooth soldier Erniu, Li Chao brushed his teeth slowly with the white and green salt powder on it.

The eight chief managers squatted in a row, watching Li Chao brush his teeth with big eyes and small eyes.

Li Chao knew what they wanted to say, but he just ignored them and still brushed his teeth by himself.

This green salt for brushing teeth seems to be produced by Shuofang, and it should be produced in Yanzhou. The reason why Yanzhou is named after salt is because there are many salt ponds here.

Yanchi is also a salt lake, and the salt lake in Yanzhou is of excellent quality, because of the drought and rain, the salt production conditions are good, and the salt produced is also large and green, commonly known as green salt, which is the best salt.

While brushing his teeth, Li Chao was thinking about salt.

Nowadays, the imperial court spends a lot of money, but the income is small. Li Shimin is not the kind of person who can always pretend to be a grandson, he is anxious to fight the Turks to destroy Tuyuhun and conquer Goguryeo, all of which require money, a lot of money.

The current tax system of the imperial court could not support his plan at all.

Li Chao offered a plan to make money quickly last time, adding a tax on tea, salt, tea and wine, and collecting a salt tax, which is equivalent to an additional poll tax, and an additional tax on tea and wine, which is equivalent to a consumption tax and mining tax levied on the rich, which is also a large tax.

Although Li Chao suggested that a tax of ten cents be levied on each bucket of salt, it is roughly one pound of salt plus one penny tax. But Li Chao believes that Li Shimin's appetite is so big, and after finally paying the sweetness, he will definitely not be satisfied with the salt tax of a penny and a catty, and he will definitely levy more, and the price of salt will inevitably increase a lot.

Salt will soon become an important commodity, and it will no longer be the time for anyone who wants to make salt to make salt, and whoever wants to sell salt to sell salt. Certificates were issued to the people, they obtained the qualifications to make salt, they registered to pay taxes, and the salt produced could only be sold to the imperial court. The new salt industry policy of the imperial court collecting salt from salt farmers, then raising taxes, and then reselling it to salt merchants for transportation and sale, will break the entire chain of interests in the salt industry and reshape it.

Since Yanzhou has such good salt resources, how can Li Chao let it go.

After all, Yanzhou is close to Lingwu and not far from Chang'an, and the salt here is good, easy to pick, and easy to transport. Li Chao even thinks about the long term, when the time comes, he can use these salt resources and make a way to open up the law.

Just like what he did in Taozhou, Taozhou was short of grain, but it was a big market for entrepot trade, so he asked the merchants who came to bring a certain amount of grain, which made Taozhou, which was short of grain, obtain a lot of grain at a low cost.

And now that Shuofang Town has so much salt, he can let the salt merchants who come to buy salt bring all kinds of materials needed by Shuofang Town, and exchange them for salt, instead of selling them directly for money.

This is a treasure trove, Li Chao has already thought of his development plan after taking control of this place.

Animal husbandry, agriculture, and salt industry, the three pillar industries of the future, will move 50,000 soldiers and their families here, and this place will be lively immediately.

Cheng Yanjin squatted there and watched Li Chao brush his toothbrush without stopping, he was still stabbing and poking and poking there for a long time, and finally got impatient.

"Phew! How long do you have to brush it, boss, Liang Jun was in chaos all night last night! ”

Li Chao came back to his senses, picked up the water, rinsed his mouth, and then washed his face.

After washing, feel refreshed.

"What's in a hurry, everything is under control."

"Drumming, gathering generals, raising accounts, and discussing!"

By the time Li Chao was dressed neatly, the eight commanders and their respective generals had already gathered in the Chinese army's big tent.

Li Chao walked to the top with a phoenix-winged helmet.

"Boss, the last general has asked to fight!"

"The last general asks to fight!"

A group of generals shouted in unison.

Li Chao smiled, "Come on, bring the box!" ”

Niu Jianhu came up triumphantly with a box, although the Taozhou tooth soldiers were finally taken by Li Shimin to form part of his Beiya forbidden army Yulinwei, but Li Chao sent troops this time, and selected 800 soldiers to form a new Shuo Fang tooth soldiers, which are still as before, divided into four capitals, or Niu Jianhu four as the head.

The four founding fathers are the heads of their own tooth soldiers, and Li Chao, the prince of the country, is also very majestic.

"Guys, do you know what's in this box?"

Cheng Yanjin and the others shook their heads.

It won't be the general manager who sees that everyone hasn't eaten breakfast and prepares breakfast.

"Then do you know why the Liang camp was on fire last night, and why it fought all night?"

The eight directors are still unclear.

There were scouts and scouts in the army, but the information they received would not be told to them. Military law is like a mountain, and military regulations stipulate that if you dare to inquire about military information from scouts privately, then not only will the person who inquires be beheaded, but even the scout who leaks military information will also be beheaded.

The generals could only get military information from Li Chao, and they could not directly inquire about it themselves.

"See the tiger, open the box and show the managers what's inside."

"Yes, Marshal."

The box opened, and it was a well-preserved head, fresh.

It is preserved with mercury.

"Who is this?" Niu Jinda asked his son.

Niu Jinda contributed a lot last time Xuanwu Gate, was one of the nine generals brought into the palace by Li Chao, in front of the Xuanwu Gate, he was the Duke of Langya County, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he was a great hero. He was able to be crowned as the Duke of Lu Guo, and he was able to seal 1,000 households.

However, Niu Jianhu did not answer his father, and went into battle with father and son, but in the military tent, there was no father and son, just up and down.

Li Chao said with a smile, "This person has a lot of reputation, maybe most of you haven't seen it, but when it comes to names, you've all heard of it." ”

"Could it be Liang Shidu? No way. After Luo Shixin said Liang Shidu's name, he didn't believe it. Yesterday, Liang Shidu was still in front of the battle, how could he be in this box today.

Li Chao clapped his hands.

"Tan Guogong guessed it, amazing, this person, no, this head is the head of Liang Shidu."

"Huh!"

An exclamation.

"How is that possible?"

"When did Master Liang die? How did he die? ”

"Master Liang is just a traitor, and it is easy for me to take his head. It is hidden among the hosts, but it only takes one Assassin to retrieve its head. Last night, there was a fire in the Liang camp, and then there was chaos, all from here! ”

"Yikes!"

Luo Shixin rubbed his head, how did he feel that he hadn't woken up yet, it was like a dream.

Among the tens of thousands of troops, taking the head of the enemy emperor did not cost a single soldier, only one assassin.

This is simply subverting their cognition, fighting a war or fighting like this?

"Why, don't you think there's anything wrong with that? This, above military law, also has a name, called decapitation tactics. Assassinating the enemy's generals can disrupt the enemy's command, leaving his group leaderless and chaotic in command. ”

Wei Chigong and the others looked at Li Chao's side, looking at the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and his hands in his sleeves, and a sense of awe rose in his heart.

This person is Li Chao's personal guard, or the head of Shuo Fangya's soldiers, I heard that his martial arts are very strong, but few people have seen him make a move. But now that Liang Shidu's head is in front of everyone, there is no doubt that it must be his hand.

"Dashuai, there is a puzzle in the end, even if he implements the decapitation technique and kills Liang Shidu, why did Liang Jun dare to do it all night last night? Could it be that Liang Jun roared last night? ”

Xue Wanche asked.

Camp Howling.

This is a very terrifying thing, the army is under too much pressure, and because of some unexpected circumstances at night, it may be just one person shouting in a nightmare, which may lead to the madness and chaos of the whole battalion.

The most serious camp roar, and even the madness of tens of thousands of people in chaos and cannibalism.

"It's not the camp Xiao, the Liang division was killed last night, the Liang camp caught fire, and then, the Jihu people abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, turned against the battle, and took the opportunity to do the Liang army."

Nothing more.....

This is just that, which made the eight managers have an urge to beat Li Chao.

You have everything in your hands, but why not tell everyone and make them anxious all night.

"Dashuai, since you successfully implemented the decapitation tactic on Liang Jun last night, you killed Liang Shidu. And the Jihu people took the opportunity to defect again, so why didn't the commander let us take advantage of the situation to attack last night? ”

"Yes, if we had launched a joint attack with Zahu inside and outside yesterday, wouldn't we have been able to destroy the Liang army in one fell swoop and win a complete victory?"

Why?

Of course, Li Chao has his own considerations.

First, Li Chao didn't completely believe in Zahu, who knows if they really defected or fake last night, in case they were fake defections, the Tang army went to attack in the middle of the night, and the black light blinded the unknown situation, which is also very risky.

Second, Li Chao is more willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Let Jihu and Liang Jun eat dogs, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are precious.

"It's not my style to be sure, it's not my style!" Li Chao replied to the generals with this sentence.

"Report, marshal, Liang Jun has been found ahead!"

"Report, someone from Liang Jun is coming over with a white flag!"

"Report, the person who came claimed to be Liu Monkey, the son of Liu Gan, the great chief of Jihu!"

"Report, the person who came is indeed Liu Hou, who has been here before."

After a day, Liu Monkey re-entered the Tang camp, but his attitude was completely different.

"The last general, Liu Monkey, meets the marshal!" Liu Monkey bowed down.

Li Chao said with a smile, "General Liu Monkey came just in time, Ben Shuai happened to get something last night, but I don't know the authenticity, just ask General Liu Monkey to distinguish it for me!" Come on, bring the stuff! ”

Liang Shidu's head was taken up again.

Liu Monkey recognized it at a glance, this was Liang Shidu, the emperor of Liang State, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that last night the Liang camp was in chaos, and Liang Shidu was suddenly beheaded, and it was really Tang Jun who did it.

This Li Chao is so powerful! (To be continued.) )
