Chapter 911: The Story of Eight Years Ago (I)

"He's just asking you for salt? How will he know you have? Origin continued to ask.

Gao Yang picked up the wine jar on the side and took a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "The salt business is so big now, and the whole Hedong is sold all over, how can it be concealed seamlessly?" He just wants the finished product, and the fact that he doesn't want the production process shows that he is a smart person. ”

He grabbed a piece of roasted mutton and threw it in his mouth, and continued, "Ushisuke just wants to make a fortune, and he has no intention of conflicting with me. After all, this is within his jurisdiction, and it is understandable that he will benefit from being the main general. You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the protection of the army, those who are jealous of this business would have pounced on it a long time ago. The families in the Hedong area are not vegetarians. Besides, I didn't give it to him for nothing. I am now a general of Yangwei, and I can theoretically have 3,000 subordinates. There are many people who can't eat, but it's not enough just for people, but also for supporting war horses, weapons, and baggage. All of these things have to fall on Niu Fu's body. ”

Gao Yang's prediction was correct. When he sent 10,000 catties of fine salt to Niu Fu's camp tent, Niu Fu happily sketched out all kinds of materials that were enough to arm more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the account book of the remaining materials of the logistics camp sent by Gaoyang. These things naturally became private goods in Gao Yang's hands. Gao Yang can use these supplies to arm a new army to guard the salt workshop.

Niu Fu already knew what Gao Yang was doing, but he always pretended not to know anything. Being able to be recruited by Dong Zhuo as a son-in-law is indeed not a simple character.

The army marched out and returned to Luoyang City to prepare to meet the Kwantung coalition army. Before leaving, Gao Yang left Xu Huang in Hedong to take charge of the exchange of salt for money. This is a steady source of income for Gao Yang.

Xu Huang was originally a native of Hedong, and he used to be a county official, so he can be regarded as a standard local snake. Xu Huang took more than 200 Bingzhou cavalry and thousands of recruits newly recruited by Gao Yang in Hedong to guard the salt-making workshop.

As a demoted general, Xu Huang has no other choice at all. Unless he still wants to continue to fall into the grass. No one wants to be in the mountains and forests all year round with wild beasts. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many thieves looking forward to recruiting every day.

Since Gao Yang has given Xu Huang his trust, Xu Huang will naturally pay his loyalty.

The people who now work in the workshops are people who have been displaced by the fighting of the army in the vicinity. Gao Yang didn't mean to continue to keep it secret, so it was a benefit for the local people who suffered from the war.

Wait until the army returns to Luoyang City. Gao Yang only received the news that Dong Zhuo had already sent Li Ruyu to kill the deposed emperor Liu Wei on the day of the Emperor. At the same time, he sent the fierce general Xiao Cavalry Captain Hua Xiong to lead tens of thousands of troops, and went to the front line of Bishui Pass with the deputy generals Li Su and Zhao Cen to block the Kwantung coalition army.

"Calculate the time, Guan Yu has almost killed Hua Xiong." Gao Yang returned to the mansion in Luoyang City, and after taking off his armor and bathing, he leisurely drank grape wine in the garden and said softly.

"Are you going to Tiger Prison? You can watch the live version of the Three Heroes Battle of Lu Bu. Yuan Dian said with excitement in his tone.

Gao Yang shook his head with a smile, with an indifferent look in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I want to stay in Luoyang, so it will be more convenient to do this." ”

"Hmm." The origin responded, "That's right." The most important thing for you to do now is to find the Contractor. Restrictions should be lifted no matter what method is used. Only after opening the way home can you do what you want to do with peace of mind. By the way, where did that sorghum go? Didn't he stay in Luoyang City to find out the news for you? ”

"I should be back soon." Gao Yang slowly closed his eyes, feeling the rare warm sunshine in winter, and said softly, "Since you know that I am coming back today, if you don't come to greet me, it means that something important has happened." It's very likely that with the news of the contractor, that's the most important thing. ”

Gao Yang was not wrong, and Huang Liang, who was in a hurry before dinner, returned to Gao Yang's mansion. didn't care about doing anything else, so he went directly to Gao Yang to report his progress.

"Where?" When Gao Yang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was about to fall asleep, heard Huang Liang say that there was a clue about a suspicious person. The whole person came to Huang Liang in an instant as if he had spread his wings, and lifted him up. Strongly suppressed the mood fluctuations in his heart, and asked with a trace of irrepressible tremor in his voice.

"Back to the Lord." Huang Liang has now adapted well to his status as Gao Yang's retainer, although Gao Yang, who feels that he is acting strangely, must have a great secret in this matter. But. He didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he hurriedly responded, "When the first emperor was about eight years ago, not long after the miracle from heaven. There was a guy who behaved strangely and came to Luoyang City. Listen to the beggar who had fought with this man. The man was tall and strong, fair-skinned, and beardless. No hair on the head. The eyes are extremely energetic, and they are even more powerful. A hundred and ten people can't get close at all. And the dress is extremely weird, even the Hu merchants in the Western Regions don't have that kind of weird dress. ”

"Oh?" Gao Yang, who finally controlled the excitement in his heart, let go of the trembling yellow sorghum, turned back to the desk and sat down on his knees, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said in a low voice, "Go on." ”

Huang Liang fell to the ground, his head hanging lower and lower. Swallowing his saliva, he said, "Those rangers in the West City saw that they were dressed and behaved strangely, and they were also outsiders, so they had evil intentions in their hearts. The employing people led it to a place where there was no one, and more than 100 people went to arrest him with weapons. Saying this, Huang Liang's body trembled, as if he remembered something terrible. After a pause, he continued, "That man was unarmed, but he killed more than a hundred rangers to the ground in a very short time, and he was plotted by those rangers. ”

"Where are the people? Why didn't those rangers talk about this last time?! Gao Yang clenched his hands, and his voice was low with a touch of irrepressible excitement. He had almost confirmed in his heart that the person Huang Liang said was the contractor!

"Back to the Lord." Huang Liang hurriedly said: "Almost all of the rangers who attacked back then died on the spot. They were originally the biggest snakes in Xicheng, but most of them were wiped out after that time. The remaining people who did not participate were also killed in the subsequent turf fight. I found out about this by a dying beggar who was involved in it. ”

"Oh?" Now that he knew the accurate news, Gao Yang was not in a hurry at all. Eight years ago, it doesn't make sense for him to be in a hurry now.

Smiled and poured himself a glass of grape wine, and asked curiously, "Tell me more about what happened at that time?" ”

"Yes." Huang Liang also heard the lightness in Gao Yang's words, and his heart was suddenly relieved. Tell the truth about what he found out.

According to the description of the beggar with a broken leg, who is said to have participated in the events of the year, and was the only one who survived. On a hot summer day eight years ago, a guy with strange behaviors and outfits came to the West Side area.

Luoyang City is the first in the world, and there are many weirdos who come to Luoyang every day, and no one can manage them all, not even the government. The rangers didn't pay much attention either. It's just that the person who inquired about the news said that the strange man had a strange treasure on him, and he knew at a glance that it must be priceless!

This immediately touched the minds of these rangers. People die for money, especially in this era, or a group of rangers who don't want to die.

After the spy quietly followed the strange man for two days, he confirmed that he was just a stupid boy from out of town, and he used gold directly to pay the bills for dinner, and he didn't want copper money at all. It seems that there are no powerful relatives in this Luoyang City.

The leader of the gang of Ranger soon decides to go about robbing the strange treasure.

After sending someone to lure the strange man to a secluded place where no one was around, the rangers who had been ambushed here for a long time immediately swarmed up and surrounded the people.

According to the beggar with the broken leg, the strange man did not follow the routine and shot extremely ruthlessly. Before the words of their leader were finished, they were already deceived into approaching, and with a twist of their head, their leader, who was as strong as a bull, stuck out his tongue and fell to the ground.

The rangers of the Han Dynasty were not afraid of death, and they were very righteous. Seeing that his leader was killed, and that strange man continued to slaughter the people around him with a blank face. The rangers immediately turned red in their eyes and began to play with their lives.

More than 100 rangers each carried weapons and besieged one person without fear of death. As a result, his side was continuously put to the ground, and there was no way to live.

The strange man was so skilled that every blow was a chase for his life, but the rangers who besieged him could barely touch his side. You must know that these rangers have been grabbing territory all day long, killing people and selling goods, and those who can't do it have already died.

The situation was completely one-sided, and the hot-headed rangers only calmed down after being killed more than halfway through. Hurriedly used the secret weapon in his hand.

The rangers skillfully used a large net to trap the stranger, but they were broken free in a short time! You know, those nets are a sturdy thing mixed with silk threads and snake skins, and even a bull can't break free even if it's trapped! was destroyed by this strange man at once.

The rangers who had already killed the red-eyed were not discouraged, and all the various guys they brought with them were all beckoned out.

According to the old beggar who had lost a leg, the strange man with great martial arts skills had always been silent and vicious. I was annoyed by bits and pieces, so I said an official sentence with a very strange accent: "Damn it!" ”

That strange man was extremely ruthless, and he didn't use any weapons at all, just his own hands and legs. Sometimes even your teeth are used!

Grabbed the person with both hands like lightning, and with a force, a good strong man was suddenly torn apart, and blood and internal organs shot everywhere! The whole scene is as miserable as Shura's hell!

That is, he was unlucky and met a group of red-eyed snakes who were killed. Many of these rangers who have climbed out all the way up by relying on their courage and fighting hard since they were children are fierce people who dare to cut off the meat on their thighs with knives and roast them to eat!

If this had been an ordinary person, even an ordinary army would have collapsed long ago. (To be continued......) r1292
