Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 529 New Skin is Good to Use

The best way to deal with cavalry is to defeat them with cavalry.

Especially after learning that Liwang Qilin had arranged 10,000 elite cavalry to return for support, there was no time to delay!

Otherwise, if the 10,000 elite cavalry arranged by Li Wang Qilin arrived at Chengshanzi earlier than them, it would not be an easy task for them to quickly capture Chengshanzi.

Not only that.

They are also very likely to be chased and attacked by the Sumo cavalry.

After receiving Su Chen's order, Cheng Chumo and the other man grinned and rode away with their soldiers.

It's fine if you don't move, but when you do, you'll make a big splash.

They have been itching to get their hands dirty along the way, and now that they have the chance to do it, they naturally have to let go and do it!

"How?"

Cheng Chumo looked at Yuchi Baolin with a smile and asked, "Should we just charge in or use our brains?"

Yuchi Baolin rolled his eyes: "What has the prince been preparing for all this time? To let you rush over foolishly and be used as a target?"

Cheng Chumo pursed his lips and looked at his subordinates in strange costumes, "Alright, alright, we're all ready anyway, it would be a waste if we don't use it."

"Hey, you're worried about being scolded by the prince!"

Yuchi Baolin saw through Cheng Chumo's plan at a glance and said with a smile: "At least if we rush over like this, they won't believe we are enemies."

"What are you waiting for!"

"Go, go, go!"

Cheng Chumo shouted strangely and led his cavalry towards Chengshanzi.

Yuchi Baolin naturally did not want to be left behind, and followed Cheng Chumo closely.

Dusk.

Cheng Chumo and the other man arrived outside Chengshanzi with their respective 1,000 elite cavalry.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the people entering and leaving the city.

But these people just looked at them a few more times. After all, when the Sumo tribe sent troops to Goryeo, it was normal for them to mobilize troops frequently.

Even the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the safety of the city just took a quick look and then went about their own business, except for the city gate order.

"really."

"It's just easier to use with a new skin."

Cheng Chumo grinned.

If they were still wearing Tang army uniforms, they would be attacked by the defenders in the city before they even got close.

And now.

Not many people cared about their arrival.

"What is the name of this general, and why did he suddenly come to Chengshanzi?"

"none of your business!"

Cheng Chumo had a blank expression on his face and did not take the other person seriously at all.

Hear the words.

The smile on the city gate commander's face suddenly froze a little.

Yuchi Baolin waved his hand, signaling the city gate commander not to pay attention to him, and said in a deep voice: "We just received news that the Tang army is going to attack our Sumo tribe. We are under the order of General Liwang Qilin to come to Chengshanzi to remind Lord Muduochi."

"really?"

"How could we deceive you about this?"

Yuchi Baolin snorted coldly, "Where is Lord Mu Duochi? Take us to see him quickly!"

"Also, my troops will help you defend the city. Why don't you make the arrangements quickly?"

"Yes."

The city gate commander had heard about the ferocity of the Tang army and did not dare to be careless.

What's more, Li Wang Qilin has arranged troops to come to the rescue, which is enough to prove that this matter is true.

Faced with the shocking news of the Tang army's attack, they did not confirm the identities of Cheng Chumo and others, so they arranged for the soldiers brought by Cheng Chumo and others to participate in defending the city, and at the same time took Cheng Chumo and others to see Mu Duochi.

After all, judging from their clothing alone, they were obviously the elite of the Sumo tribe.

When they arrived at the mansion, Cheng Chumo and his companions met Mu Duochi.

"grown ups."

"Who are you two?"

Mu Duochi frowned and looked at Cheng Chumo and the other man.

"We are the vanguard troops under General Liwang Qilin."

Yuchi Baolin quickly responded, "We just received news that the Tang army is heading north to attack our Su Mo army, so the general arranged for us to come to Chengshanzi to strengthen the defense, and at the same time personally led the troops to search for the traces of the Tang army!"

"The Tang army is really coming?"

Mu Duochi's face darkened.

"Does your Excellency know?"

"I did hear some people mention the whereabouts of the Tang army, but I couldn't confirm it, so I arranged for someone to go to Duofa Yue to verify it."

"it is true."

Cheng Chumo grinned, "They have two groups of soldiers. One is the 30,000 troops led by Zhishisili, heading north to support Duofa Yue. The other is the 20,000 troops led by Wang Suchen, intending to attack our Sumo tribe."

"hiss!"

Mu Duochi took a breath of cold air.

Now, most of the elite troops of the Sumo tribe have been transferred to the front line. If Su Chen really leads an army of 20,000 and attacks into Chengshanzi, how can they resist?

"Did the general arrange for you to come and provide assistance?"

"Of course not."

"In addition to us, there are another 10,000 troops on their way."

"Great."

Mu Duochi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuchi Baolin said in a deep voice: "Sir, I hope you can let us defend the South Gate, so that the defense pressure of the other three gates will naturally be much less."

"it is good!"

Mu Duochi had no doubts.

Firstly, they were all wearing the cavalry uniforms of the Suomote tribe and were very familiar with the movements of the Tang army. Secondly, when he received the news, the Tang army was still in the Yanglian Mountain area and it was impossible for it to reach Chengshanzi so quickly.

Cheng Chumo and his men must be the reinforcements arranged by Liwang Qilin in order to prevent Su Chen's sudden attack.

"I'll arrange it right away."

"Thank you two generals for coming to support Chengshanzi. I believe that with your help, we can definitely stop Su Chen's 20,000 troops."

"I hope so."

Cheng Chumo grinned, but after seeing Yuchi Baolin's eyes, he suddenly became serious, "But the Tang army must have powerful firearms in their hands. We should delay as much as possible until the reinforcements arrive."

"Yeah."

Mu Duochi nodded repeatedly, "Yuan Chi, quickly arrange for the soldiers under the command of the two generals to guard the South Gate. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

The city gate commander Yuan Chi nodded immediately.

"Someone is coming."

"Hurry up and arrange a dinner. I want to have a drink with the two generals."

"No!"

Cheng Chumo and the other man called for a stop at the same time.

Mu Duochi looked over and saw Yuchi Baolin said in a deep voice, "Does your Excellency want us to be punished by the general?"

Cheng Chumo: "How dare you drink when the war is imminent? If you delay the general's important task, you and I will be in trouble!"

Mu Duochi slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am confused. I wonder what the two generals are like?"

"Just prepare some food. We also need to prepare our troops and patrol the South City."

"Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

… “I didn’t expect it to be so smooth.”

"Speak softly, don't let them hear you."

Yuchi Baolin looked around vigilantly, reminded Cheng Chumo, and whispered, "Have you contacted Jin Yong and the others?"

"Already contacted."

Cheng Chumo said softly: "They have already ambushed in the city and can help us capture Chengshanzi at any time."

"According to Jin Yong, they will poison the food of the soldiers defending the city, making them weak. Once we take action, we will be unstoppable."

Why does this route feel a bit familiar?

Yuchi Baolin scratched his head. Wasn’t this what that guy did?
Although the means are somewhat insidious, they can at least greatly ensure their military strength and combat effectiveness.

There is really nothing more worry-free than poisoning, as it allows you to kill the opponent with minimal loss to your own side.

The two walked side by side, talking quietly while inspecting the defenses of the South Gate.

In addition to the cavalry they brought, there were also some scattered defenders in the city cooperating. At least when the South Gate was attacked, these people could call for help as soon as possible.

Night is approaching.

The aroma of rice wafted over from afar, and Cheng Chumo and the other man looked over at the same time.

The cook in Chengshanzi started cooking.

Think about it.

Jin Yong and the others should take action!

East of the city.

In the military camp, a cook was making a fire and cooking.

Various foods were being stir-fried in each big pot. These foods were the meals for the defenders in the city tonight.

Under normal circumstances, the cooks in the military camp would not have to be so busy.

Because when the defenders were changing shifts, most of them would go to restaurants or homes to eat, but with the arrival of Cheng Chumo and the other two, the tense atmosphere in the city was self-evident.

All the defenders were forced to work overtime and wait, so it was impossible for them to go home or eat in the restaurant.

This resulted in the cooks in the camp being extremely busy, and a number of chefs were also transferred to help.

Jin Yong was one of those who came to help.

Jin Yong was dressed as a waiter with a towel draped over his shoulders. He was cutting vegetables happily, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Cao Yuan standing beside him.

Cao Yuan was wearing a white apron, dressed like a chef, and was busy stir-frying the dishes in a big pot.

"It's almost time."

Jin Yong put the chopped vegetables into the iron pot and said softly, "The food will be delivered soon."

"understood."

Cao Yuan responded calmly, then took out the seasoning packet with a serious face and poured it into the pot.

Although some chefs nearby saw Cao Yuan's actions, they didn't say much.

After all, what chef doesn't have his or her own secret recipe?
If not, how could he become the chef in the kitchen?

As for the possibility that the food was poisoned, no one would even think of that.

First of all, we are all cooks. Who would have nothing better to do than poison the guests’ food?
Secondly, these meals are to be sent to the defenders in the city. If he dares to poison the food, isn’t he afraid of being subjected to the Nine Clans Stripping Technique?

Any normal person would not do such a thing.

Most chefs would take away some meat when others are not around. This is what a real chef should do.

"Is everything okay?"

A soldier came to the front of the cooks in a bossy manner, frowned and shouted: "Why are you so slow? When can our brothers have a hot meal?"

"It's coming soon."

The head cook in the camp greeted them cheerfully and came forward to say nice things.

Cao Yuan winked at Jin Yong, and Jin Yong understood and called the waiter around him to bring out the prepared dishes.

"Look, look, these chefs we hired are still reliable."

The soldier in charge of urging them pointed at Cao Yuan and the others and said to the head cook, "I think you are just making too much money. You are even making excuses for what the adults have asked you to do."

"Let me tell you, the two generals at the South Gate have spoken. Although they were sent by General Li Wang Qilin to help us at Cheng Shanzi, they are willing to give us the dishes first!"

"Look at you all, you're all so hesitant. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?"

"Yes, yes, that's good, that's good."

The head cook laughed along and turned around to scold the cooks behind him, urging them to hurry up.

Soon, large pots of prepared meals were carried by soldiers one by one and delivered to the defenders of the four cities.

"it is finally over."

Cao Yuan slumped down on the ground weakly.

After spending a whole hour preparing a meal, even the most skilled cook would not be able to bear it.

What's more, he is just a chef who started out as a chef.

"you."

"What are your orders, sir?"

"You don't have to come tomorrow."

The head cook looked at Cao Yuan expressionlessly and said, "Pack your things now and take your people with you and get out of my territory."

Cao Yuan: “…”

This is this...

Is there such a good thing?

Cao Yuan was pleasantly surprised, but still pretended to be melancholy and said, "Sir, we were ordered to enter the camp to cook..."

"I have the final say here!"

The head cook now feels annoyed when he sees Cao Yuan.

He is obviously the boss here, but he was scolded by a small character just because Cao Yuan and his friends cooked quickly. How can he tolerate this?
"Yes Yes Yes."

Cao Yuan smiled awkwardly and waved at Jin Yong.

"doing what?"

"Asshole, why don't you take out the pig's feet you stole and present them to the master?"

"I……"

Jin Yong stared at Cao Yuan with an angry face and almost cursed him out.

He took out the pig's trotter angrily and gave it to the head cook in front of Cao Yuan's smug look.

this moment.

The head cook's complexion improved slightly.

"You are a sensible kid."

"That's all for today. I'll arrange for someone to deliver your wages tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

After thanking him repeatedly, Cao Yuan winked at Jin Yong, called the other guys, and left the barracks together.

hetui!

After leaving the military camp, Jin Yong couldn't help but spit, "That was what I saved for my snack, and you just gave it away like that."

"Don't you see that because we acted quickly, we made them unhappy?"

Cao Yuan grinned and said, "I was just thinking about how we were going to leave the barracks, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

Jin Yong nodded, "Don't tell me."

Turning back, Jin Yong looked at the waiter beside him and whispered, "Has the food been delivered?"

"Don't worry, Brother Yong, they've all been delivered."

Everyone was happy.

Jin Yong also had a smile on his face. What about the big pot meal? I wonder how many people can stand up after eating this meal!
