Volume 15 The winner is the king. Chapter 1139. A clever plan to steal salt (Part 1)

Salt is not a necessary resource for the human race. The sudden absence of salt on the market has not had much impact on the people, but for the demons, it is deadly.

Without enough salt to replenish, the demons would have the strength. No one had the idea of ​​making salt before, so this would not have much impact on the demons. This time, Hu You did this, the demons would go crazy.

Lin Ma, the highest commander of the Imperial Capital garrison, jumped up when he received a report from his subordinates. He knew better than anyone else about the demons' demand for salt. This is not good enough, but it will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

"Let me check it out immediately, who is causing trouble!" Lin Ma said, slapped his chest.

If you want to check, it is not so easy. Lin Ma has not realized yet that this is not an ordinary commercial event, but a comprehensive attack on the demon race.

In a small town not far from the emperor, Hu You and a group of subordinates who had just arrived from various regions were discussing the next combat plan.

"Young Marshal, this is Linma's military camp. We have found out that Linma has three salt warehouses in total, with about 50,000 kilograms of salt in stock. According to the normal amount, it is enough for his 100,000 troops to eat for several years.

"So much?" Hu You frowned. He had considered the issue of the demons' inventory of salt before, but because there was no confirmed news, he could not make further judgments. The data obtained now is not so satisfying to him.

"Young Marshal, if that's the case, then we'll just sweep away the goods on the market, which won't have much impact on Lin Ma."

It was Leng Yuye who said this. During the battle with Lin Ma, the imperial guards under her command had gone from secret to light and officially joined the Immortal Bird Legion. Now their number in the Immortal Bird Legion is the Di Immortal Mausoleum Legion. In addition to Hu You, other generals in this legion cannot command.

"Well, it must be removed and it must be removed!" Hu You said affirmatively.

Fifty thousand kilograms of salt are not a small amount. How to beat it up is something that needs to be carefully considered.

When they heard Hu You's words, all the generals present thought hard, hoping to think of a good idea.

"The number is too large, it is probably difficult to move out." Someone in the crowd muttered to himself. Many people present had participated in similar actions, but they were all fighting for food. Hu You once personally led people to snatch a batch of food from Lin Zhengfeng's hands at Jingushan.

In every war, food is a scarce product. Every time I act, I try my best to turn the food that originally belonged to the enemy into my own.

"Move? Tens of thousands of kilograms of salt, and move it out to make salted fish. I said to kill them and destroy them!" Hu You saw that his officers had not yet corrected his mind and did not shout.

"ah!"

Hu You's words woke up the dreamer. Yes, salt is not an important resource for them. Isn't it just a matter of destroying it directly? It takes effort to move it out, but also has to find a place to put it in. Isn't that finding something for yourself?

"Young Marshal, salt is not afraid of fire." Leng Yuye thought of a few ways, but it was not that easy to use. If you want to destroy anything, the best way is to use fire. Fire can destroy all the dirty things. However, salt is not afraid of fire, and it is very troublesome to encounter the characteristics of being unable to get caught.

Hu You knew that salt was not afraid of fire. It was okay to directly vaporize the fire in the face of high temperatures. However, it would take at least a few thousand degrees of high temperatures, and ordinary turmeric oil could not reach that height.

How to destroy the 50,000 kilograms of salt is really a difficult problem for Hu You. After a day of brainstorming, no one could come up with a good plan. As the sky was about to get dark, Hu You could only ask everyone to go back first and then think of ways to report in writing.

"Young Marshal, you can have a meal." Since Hongye and the others have their own tasks, Hu You is now temporarily having a meal with Leng Yuye. Near the imperial capital, Leng Yuye's Imperial Tomb Legion has the greatest strength, and Hu You lives here, which is also convenient for the legion to be mobilized.

"Yeah." Hu You was thinking about how to destroy the salt all day today. His mind was a little painful now, and he didn't think of any good idea.

Forget it, just have a meal first. Maybe you can think of it by accident. In this regard, Hu Youdao has certain experience. Sometimes, you can't understand some things, and when you don't think about them, you will have a solution unintentionally.

Don’t say that although the cold rainy night lived in the gloomy place like the imperial tomb for many years, her cooking skills were really good. In just a short time, four dishes and one soup were placed on the table. Look at the color and shape, they were all very beautiful, and they made people want to eat it when they looked at it.

"Okay, it's cold and rainy night, I didn't expect you to have such a skill." Hu You laughed. In fact, people can be very simple. There are three meals a day and one night a night, and it's almost done. What kind of fame and fortune are the same when you see it.

"Young Marshal will try to match your taste." Leng Yuye's little face turned red. This was the first time she cooked for a man. There was always a little bit of uneasiness.

"Okay, let me try it." Hu You took the chopsticks and took a piece of tofu. This tofu is different from meat. Whether it is delicious or not depends entirely on craftsmanship. The same ingredients can be made in different styles for different people. Some people make delicious food, while some people make things that are not as good as they can't eat.

"How is it?" Leng Yuye even narrowed his eyes when he saw Hu You, and asked nervously.

"Okay, it's comparable to Mapo tofu in Taibailou!" Hu You raised his big thumb. The tofu made of cotton is smooth and does not break, with a strong smell of onion. Although it doesn't have a slight meat, it also makes people feel endless aftertaste.

Leng Yuye finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the things I made were useful, it would be nothing. If others thought they were delicious, it would be really delicious.

"Young Marshal, you can eat this again." Leng Yuye repeatedly brought vegetables to Hu You. In a short while, Hu You's bowls piled up like a hill.

"You have another scout for me, so you can eat it too."

"Okay, I'll eat too."

During the meal, Hu You no longer talked about business with Leng Yuye, but instead talked about the weather, past stories and other things. Although there were only two people eating a meal, it was also so lively.

"Huh, it's been a long time since I've been eating so much." Hu You put down the bowl in his hand and let out a long sigh. The weather was not hot, but Hu You sweated all over the head. This meal was so good. If it weren't for the military on a cold rainy night, it was more important than cooking skills. Hu You wanted her to go to the mansion to make it. Although the things made by Fu Chen were good, after eating for so many years, he was a little bit bored.

"Young Marshal, please drink more soup." Leng Yuye put down his chopsticks and scooped Hu You a bowl of soup.

"Okay." Hu You felt a little thirsty after eating it just now.

On a cold rainy night, we cooked mushroom soup. It was thick and milky white, and it looked very appetizing. Hu You blew it and drank one...

"Shaoshou, Shaoshou, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this soup?" Leng Yuye saw that Hu You had just taken a sip of the soup and was stunned. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Well, I'm fine. Leng Yuye, you put salt in your soup." Hu You came to his senses and pointed to the soup in his hand and asked Leng Yuye.

"Yes, Young Marshal, there is no problem with this salt, right?" Leng Yuye said nervously. Because the Imperial Guards are not suitable for walking outside, and the supply is only once a month, they use salt for seasonings, rather than the sauce that people often use. Over the years, they have become accustomed to it. They can't change it for a while. So although Hu You are now thinking about ways to destroy salt, Leng Yuye still uses salt here.

Seeing Hu You's reaction so strongly, Leng Yuye was really scared by Hu You's face to a pale face. You know, after Leng Wuqing left, Leng Yuye was the only friend Hu You left, and Hu You once saved her life. She had already regarded Hu You as one of the most important people in her life.

"It's okay, no problem." Hu You's thoughts were a little confused. He had to grasp the idea that flashed through his mind as soon as possible. He had a premonition that grasping that idea could solve the problem of salt destruction.

"Leng Yuye, do you still have salt there? Get some for me." The inspiration always flashed in my mind, but I just couldn't catch it. This made Hu You feel a little anxious. He turned around and said to Leng Yuye.

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

Leng Yuye rushed to the kitchen, but didn't know how much Hu You wanted, so he simply brought the entire salt pot over.

"Young Marshal, I'll give it to you."

"Yes." Hu You took the salt jar and looked in.

There is no salt in the sea on Tianfeng Continent, and the salt used is all rock salt. When it is not broken, it looks a bit like a stone, but it is not as hard as a stone. Hu You picked up one piece and looked in his hand for a while, then looked at the bowl of soup. He put a whole piece of salt in it.

"Hmm?" Leng Yuye didn't understand what Hu You meant to do so, and snorted strangely.

Hu You did this casually, and didn't have so many thoughts at the beginning. When his eyes fell into the soup bowl again, the inspiration was finally caught.

"That's great, that's it!" Hu You shouted excitedly, poured all the cans of salt Leng Yuye into the bowl of soup.

"Why didn't I expect it? It's so stupid!" Hu You turned around the bowl, his face full of excited smiles. He knew that he was happy, but he didn't know that he thought a fool came from somewhere.

"Young Marshal, what are you doing? Why can't I understand?" Leng Yuye finally couldn't help asking.

"Don't understand?" Hu You smiled deeply, "This is our solution."

As Hu You explained, Leng Yuye realized that salt was not afraid of fire, but it was afraid of water. It melted when it entered the water, which is the characteristic of salt. As long as it is used well, it is 50,000 kilograms of salt, no matter how much it is, it can be destroyed.

Leng Yuye was also very happy after listening to Hu You's explanation, but she still had one problem, which was not clear. That was how to operate.

Could it be that each soldier carried a can of water and ran to the barracks and poured water into the salt warehouse?

Leng Yuye said his thoughts and it attracted Hu You's eyes.

Please, is it good to use some brain? How much water does this 50,000 kilograms of salt need to be used. Besides, even if you melt the salt with water, isn’t it still on the ground? As long as the demons spend more time, they can take back the salt.

That person said, how can I take back the salt from the water that has been melted?

Don’t forget, water will dry. Once the water is dry, will the salt come out?

"Young Marshal, what should we do?" Leng Yuye was embarrassed by Hu You's smile, and was anxious to get the answer from Hu You.

"Well, you will know then." Hu You kept it in hiding.

As the saying goes, one principle is clear and all principles are clear. Hu You thought of salt in water, and he also thought of a solution.

"My brothers, they used to be professionals. It's not too difficult for people to make holes from here and get below this."

Hu You drew a line on the map and said to the thirty or forty soldiers in front of him.

Before joining the Immortal Legion, these soldiers were mining, and a few were tomb robbers. Hu You called them professionals because they were in the field of hole digging.

These thirty or forty people themselves have not had a good skill, and their status in the legion is relatively low. Some have been in the legion for seven or eight years, but they have no chance to meet Hu You. At this moment, they can not only sit face to face with Hu You, but also call themselves brothers with Hu You. This alone is enough to make them excited.

"No problem, Young Marshal, just say what you want to do!"

"That's right, we must be good. Digging holes is our old job!"

The soldiers stood up and patted their chests. It was rare that Hu You looked down on them, so of course they had to perform well.

"Don't be excited, sit down and listen to me talk slowly." Hu You sorted out his thoughts and told him his plan.

It turned out that Hu You came to them to make a tunnel that could lead directly to the salt warehouse. Hu You always liked to do things with his brain, and knew that he wanted to rush into Lin Ma's military camp like this to destroy the salt. Even if he could succeed, he would have sacrificed a lot. This time, he had to use cleverness, without knowing it, and without knowing it, he solved Lin Ma's salt warehouse.

After hearing Hu You's words, the soldier had questions.

"Shaoshou, will it be too narrow if you only play a tunnel that can two people side by side? This way, it will be inconvenient even if you want to move things out. Otherwise, we will increase our efforts and make this cave wider. What do you think, Youngshoushou?"

Is it easier to have a chance to show their strength? At least they have to beat the two of them side by side, and they use the kind of climbing in. At least they have to beat the one who can stand and walk to show their strength.

Hu You waved his hand and said, "It doesn't need to be that big, just do it. I will leave this matter to you. You are discussing specific solutions. I only have one requirement, that is, I must not expose my target!"

After seeing the professional hole-drawing professional, Hu You kept calling another group of people. These people were willing to belong to the arsenal, and everyone had good skills. Now the arsenal cannot start construction on a large scale for the time being, and they can still be idle.

"How is it? Are there any problems?" Hu You put the drawings on the table and explained the general idea. Then he asked these skilled craftsmen.

What Hu You needed was not complicated. The task he assigned was to build a batch of hollow iron pipes, and the only requirement was that these iron pipes could be installed together. If Weiwei was here at this time, she could see at a glance that Hu You was going to fetch water pipes.

The craftsmen discussed with each other, and the leader said to Hu You: "There should be no problem, but this iron pipe must be able to flow water, and we don't quite understand how to do it for a while."

The tap water system that Hu You wanted to build was completely free of materials for craftsmen. However, it is still difficult for them to ensure that the water flows continuously. After all, they lacked too much knowledge in this area, and they had never seen anything like this before.

Hu You smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with. Look, there is a river here. We just need to make this hole into a trumpet shape and then put it in this place where the water flows the most urgently..."

Hu You was able to come up with this solution, so he naturally thought of all the subsequent needs.

In fact, Hu You's method is very simple. He is to build an authentic tunnel into the salt warehouse of the demon clan, then open the water pipe, use the water pressure to bring the water into the salt warehouse, and then flow the salt into the water from another outlet pipe to return the salt water to the river, so that the river water can be washed away.

Hu You's move is much better than using fire. Once the fire burns, it will smoke, but water won't. As long as people don't discover it, even a salt mountain can be melted and taken away with water.

Hu You had already found out clearly. Lin Ma seemed very heavy to these three salt databases. Without his orders, even the demons were dead if they were close to ten meters. Except for the salt collection time of one day a month, even a cat could not be approached within ten meters. In other words, as long as Hu You's people can successfully enter the salt cool, there is basically no possibility of being discovered.

Although Lin Ma was very concerned about the salt, he still let Hu You seize the opportunity after all his secrets. He gave him this a chance, and even if he cleared the entire salt warehouse, Lin Ma might not be able to discover it.

"Young Marshal, your move is so clever. If you can do it, it will work." Several craftsmen were excited after seeing the lines Hu You drew. Such a way of thinking was not something they could think of.

"Those guys, are we just here?"

"Okay, Young Marshal, let's go and prepare immediately!"
