Although the things Zhao Chen wanted were not particularly ordinary things, they were not very precious either.
The key is what are these things Zhao Chen is talking about?
Are these things even more powerful than cupping?
Can we still break through Songzhou City?
Niu Jinda didn't believe it in his heart.
"Are you going to use these things to destroy the city?" Niu Jinda stared at Zhao Chen with big eyes, barely doubting his face.
"Of course I have my own way." Zhao Chen looked at Niu Jinda calmly, as if he was a different person from before.
Niu Jinda was also stunned, with hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He is really worried!
"If Commander Niu doesn't think it through, he can choose to continue attacking the city tomorrow, and I won't accompany him." Zhao Chen stood up and said to Niu Jinda.
He cupped his hands, turned around and walked out.
Niu Jinda frowned, but still did not speak.
"well--"
Zhao Chen bumped into someone. When he looked up, he saw Captain Wang whom he had met yesterday.
"Brother Zhao, what are you..."
"Wang Meng, you came in without informing me?" Niu Jinda snorted coldly.
"General, I was so excited that I forgot. General, please forgive me." Captain Wang and Niu Jinda cupped their hands, the expressions on their faces seemed a little excited.
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly." Niu Jinda shouted coldly.
"Hey, brother Zhao, please don't leave yet. This matter is still related to you." Zhao Chen was just about to leave when he was stopped by Captain Wang.
"General, yesterday Brother Zhao and his subordinates came up with an idea to catch the Tibetan spies among the fleeing people."
"At first, my subordinates were skeptical..."
"Tell me the important point!" Niu Jinda was irritated, not willing to listen to nonsense.
"With the help of Brother Zhao, my subordinates successfully captured all the Tibetan spies hidden among the fleeing people." Wang Xiaowei and Niu Jinda said.
"What?"
"What did you just say? Tell me again!" Niu Jinda suddenly started, looking a little unbelievable.
Among the people who escaped from Songzhou City, there were many Tibetan spies hidden.
The appearance of these people is not much different from that of ordinary border people, and they all speak fluent Mandarin.
If we search like this, we will never find that those among them are Tibetan spies.
The Tibetan spies were hiding among the fleeing people, like a thorn in Niu Jinda's heart.
The 150,000 people who fled Songzhou City could easily cause chaos without enough food.
What's more, there are Tibetan spies inside.
Who knows what kind of trouble will be caused under the use of people like them.
It's not that Niu Jinda didn't think about catching these people, but the key was how to find them.
With 150,000 people, trying to find those Tibetan spies was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, he just heard that Zhao Chen gave him a way to catch those Tibetan spies.
If this is true...
"General, Tibetan spies have captured them. There are one hundred and thirteen people in total." Captain Wang said to Niu Jinda again.
"What's going on? Talk to me quickly. Well, Zhao Chen, please stay here for a moment. I'll think about what you just said!" Niu Jinda walked up to Zhao Chen and pulled Zhao Chen, regardless of whether Zhao Chen wanted to or not.
, pressing him down on the stool.
Zhao Chen's face turned dark.
I feel like I have become a little toy in Niu Jinda’s hands.
"That's it..." Colonel Wang told Niu Jinda about Zhao Chen's idea for him.
After finishing speaking, Captain Wang and Zhao Chen cupped their hands and said, "Brother Zhao, you are indeed a capable person from Chang'an. You captured those Tubo barbarians easily."
"Man, I can sleep peacefully at night."
"Why did Wang Xiaowei say this? It's just something he did casually. It's just that some old guys can't listen to the really useful method. It's a pity. I don't know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will die in the battle tomorrow.
Outside the city." Zhao Chen and Captain Wang returned the greeting, and then pointed at Sang and Huai and said many things.
Niu Jinda's face turned dark at that time.
This guy was secretly cheating on Chen Cang, but he almost pointed at him and scolded him!
"Who is it? Brother Zhao is such a wise man, so his ideas are certainly good. Why are there still people so unreasonable?"
"Come on, tell me, brother, and I'll help you deal with him. If it doesn't work, I'll beg my uncle Niu Shuai to go..."
As Captain Wang was talking, Niu Jinda threw him out of the camp.
The two guards outside the camp thought it was Zhao Chen who was thrown out.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Captain Wang who had just entered.
He couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"Boy, how did you come up with the idea of adding a lot of fodder to the porridge water to lure out the Tibetan spies hiding among the fleeing people?"
In the camp, Niu Jinda was very curious and asked Zhao Chen.
According to Niu Jinda's own understanding, if it was really that simple, how could he not think of it?
"If grass is added to the porridge water, it will naturally not taste good. If the people who are fleeing drink it suddenly, they will vomit it out no matter how hungry they are."
"And those Tibetan spies, in order to maintain sufficient physical strength, would eat anything."
"And once they drink these things, their identity has been exposed."
"This isn't great wisdom, it's just about recommending yourself to others!" Zhao Chen explained slowly.
To his surprise, just after he had been criticizing Huaihuai for a while, the old man was not angry at all.
"Then if someone is really hungry..."
"There is nothing we can do. We can only blame them for their bad fate. Could it be that Niu Shuai still feels unworthy of them?" Zhao Chen smiled and looked at Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda shook his head. If a few people died, hundreds of thousands of people could survive. How could he not figure out such an account?
At this moment, Niu Jinda was quite interested in Zhao Chen.
In the past, I only heard about Zhao Chen from the mouths of the emperor and some officials, and I always thought that he was just a boy who got lucky.
But from the conversation on the road and what happened today, Niu Jinda felt that Zhao Chen was pretty good.
"How sure are you about destroying the city?" Niu Jinda was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked Zhao Chen.
"I'll try my best!" Zhao Chen said again perfunctorily.
Niu Jinda gritted his teeth. He didn't like fighting uncertain battles, but this time he was really forced into a corner.
"Okay, with your words, I will go crazy with you once, and the worst I can do is to die. I will immediately send people to collect these materials. I will only give you two days. If you don't get it out within two days,
,Then I..."
Niu Jinda was halfway through speaking, then paused for a moment, with a smile on his face, and continued: "That is also the responsibility of me as the coach, and it has nothing to do with you, Zhao Chen. Just go ahead and do it."
Niu Jinda was still a trustworthy guy. Zhao Chen decided that when the old Niutou got old, he would not take Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu to beat him up.
…
Niu Jinda's order was quickly issued.
Thousands of people were sent to the surrounding villages and towns to collect the materials Zhao Chen needed.
The army also entered a short rest period, but continued to surround Songzhou City.
But no matter how much he trusted Zhao Chen, Niu Jinda couldn't hide this matter.
There are also the armies of Hou Junji and Liu Lan in the other two places. This matter is of great importance, so he naturally wants to go and communicate with them.
