Receiving the confirmation of the troops below, the regiment commander that received Tang Yin became even more proud, the stone in Qian Chong's heart dropped to the ground.
Only Hu Liang's doubt towards Tang Yin had not been dispelled much, in fact, even he did not know what was wrong with this Gao Hu, but his intuition told him that this person was definitely not as simple as he appeared to be.
Hu Liang was an experienced veteran with a lot of experience, who had seen a lot of things. No matter how Tang Yin tried to cover himself, he would still reveal a unique temperament that was different from ordinary people.
Although Hu Liang was very suspicious of Tang Yin, he wasn't the commander of the Huan Army, and he couldn't be the host of the Huan Army either.
After facing each other, Qian Chong did not doubt Tang Yin's identity at all. He sent the most capable scout to the Allied Army Camp to check if the water used by the allied army truly came from the spirit mountain spring water.
Not long after, the spies sent by Huan Army all returned, bringing back the same news. The allied army soldiers were indeed collecting water from the spirit mountain spring, and when they were collecting the water, they did not see the Allied Soldier conducting any tests, so they had obviously never thought that the spring water would be poisoned.
After Qian Chong heard the report from the scouts, he was overjoyed. He then made a decision to use Gao Hu's advice to poison the spring water in the Spirit Mountain.
Since he had decided to do it, he had to do it without any leeway. If he wanted to poison hundreds of thousands of enemies, he would need a large amount of poison. Qian Chong was afraid that the news would leak out, he did not dare go and collect it, but directly sent a letter to Huan Wang, requesting the imperial government to prepare.
After Li Xin received the letter from Qian Chong, although he felt that this plan was too vicious, it was still a brilliant one. He immediately agreed and ordered the imperial government to collect arsenic from the various counties around the country. Arsenic was an essential ingredient in the manufacture of arsenic. It was highly toxic.
Within a few days, the Huan Country Court had turned the arsenic they had collected into arsenic and sent it to the Huan Army camp in batches.
The poison sent by the Huan Country court was many and miscellaneous, mainly arsenic. In addition, there were also some highly toxic poisons such as Ma QiDun Zi and the Intestine Breaking Grass.
After receiving the poison sent over by the imperial government, Qian Chong split it into several parts, and with him personally commanding the Huan Army, he threw the poison into the spirit mountain spring water batch by batch.
He had to accurately grasp the time when the allied army was fetching the water, and then calculate the speed of the water flow, so that they wouldn't poison too early, and also not too late. Because of this, Huan Army had especially tested it several times, where some of the brightly colored leaves and petals were thrown into the water in large quantities, and then monitored by the scouts lurking nearby, wanting to see when those leaves and petals would flow to Allied Army Camp's side.
In order to make the poison injection strategy extremely successful, Qian Chong had put in a lot of effort and thought.
Under Qian Chong's orders, within a day, Huan Army were continuously poured deadly poison into the spring water of Spirit Mountain. According to the reports of the scouts ahead, the allied army had already sent the spring water back into the army camp.
Qian Chong was overjoyed upon learning of the situation, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He waited patiently, waiting for the news that the allied army had been poisoned on a large scale.
But after an entire day had passed, the Allied Army Camp was calm and tranquil, there were simply no signs of a large number of soldiers being poisoned.
On the second day, the walls of the Allied Army Camp began to fill with sentries. Furthermore, the sounds of soldiers training could be heard from within the camp.
The Huan Country scouts that were lurking near the Allied Army Camp were shocked, and quickly reported back to the Huan Army Camp. At this time, within the Central Army Tent of the Huan Army Camp, the General of Huan Country led by Qian Chong was present.
All of a sudden, they heard the news of the Allied Army Camp sentry and sentry, and also heard the sound of soldiers training. All of the General of Huan Country's faces changed, could it be that their plan had failed, and the allied army had already found out that there was poison in the water?
Qian Chong was very surprised at first, but then he rolled his eyes, could not help but laugh out loud, and said: "We succeeded in big matters!"
The generals were all dumbfounded hearing this. There were simply no signs of poisoning from the Allied Army Camp, how could they still think that they had achieved great things? Someone from the General of Huan Country stood up, cupped his hands, and asked: "General, what do you mean by that?"
Qian Chong laughed leisurely, and asked: "The Allied Army Camp suddenly increased sentries, and even had the intention of revealing that they are training their troops, what do you mean by that?"
The General of Huan Country s looked at each other. Yes, what did that mean? Without waiting for anyone to reply, Qian Chong answered: "This is obviously because we are afraid of our army taking the initiative to attack! For a long time now, the Allied Army has been sending weak and old soldiers to our camp to fight against the enemy. The purpose of this is to lead our troops to take the initiative and fight head to head against our army. "If I am not wrong, now that a large number of the allied army has been poisoned, they just do not dare to make any noise. This is a good opportunity for our army to take the initiative and attack!"
Hearing Qian Chong's analysis, the eyes of the General of Huan Country members lit up, and they all nodded their heads, as they thought it was reasonable.
"General, we cannot lose the opportunity. If we lose, we will lose everything and our army will immediately send out troops to attack the Allied Army Camp!" General, this lowly general is willing to take the lead.
This time, the General of Huan Country s were in high spirits, competing to be the first to volunteer.
Hu Liang who had always been in favour of taking the initiative instead started to sing a different tune now. Just as the General of Huan Country s' auras were rising and the blood in his body was boiling, Hu Liang stood up and shouted: "Going out to battle now is like seeking death!"
His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing everyone's anger. Qian Chong looked at Hu Liang and laughed bitterly. Sometimes he couldn't help but suspect that this person was born to be opposing him.
When he said that he would defend, he said that he would take the initiative, and when he was about to take the initiative, he stepped forward to stop him. In short, no matter what he said, he would say the opposite.
Qian Chong was after all, a marquis of a country, and he was very open-minded. He suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked with a smile, "Old General Hu, why are you opposing our army's initiative now?"2
"What if this is a trick used by the allied army?" Hu Liang said without beating around the bush, "If Gao Hu was sent by the allied army to spy on us, and deliberately induced us to use poison methods, and then the allied army pretended to be poisoned and lead our troops to take the initiative to attack, then wouldn't our army be thrown into a trap of our own accord, falling into an irrecoverable situation?"
After hearing his words, not to mention Qian Chong, even the other General of Huan Country s revealed faces full of unhappiness. If Gao Hu was a spy, and their side had already examined him, and it was a public confrontation, how could there be any falsehood? The deduction that Hu Liang had made was based on an impossible foundation, and it was not convincing at all. In the eyes of the General of Huan Country s, Hu Liang simply relied on his status as someone who came from a General of Chuan Country.
"Since General Hu said that Gao Hu is a spy from the alliance, do you have any evidence?" Some of the General of Huan Country asked angrily.
"It is precisely because I do not have any evidence that I am able to allow him to live until now!" Hu Liang said coldly with a gloomy face.
"Haha ?" The General of Huan Country laughed angrily, shook his head and said: "Since Grand Marshal Hu has no evidence, then what right do you have to say that Gao Hu is a spy? Could it be that Grand Marshal Hu only wants to show off his superiority in terms of People of Chuan Country in front of us and deliberately wanted to stand out from the masses? "
These words were unbearable to Hu Liang. If the other party were to directly attack him, it would not be a big deal. At most, everyone's thoughts would be different, but right now, General of Huan Country were attacking all the People of Chuan Country, making this old man so angry that his beard stood on end.
"Damn it, I, your son, have wrongly spoken and blocked your path. How could I allow you to do that?!" While speaking, Hu Liang held onto the sword at his waist, and seeing that, all the General of Huan Country s present immediately stood up and glared at Hu Liang.
Seeing that his own subordinate was about to fall out with the General of Chuan Country, Qian Chong felt a headache. Although Hu Liang was just a Middle General, he had great prestige in the Chuan Country.
Pow! Qian Chong slammed the table fiercely, and bellowed: "Do you still have a Commander like me in your eyes?" He was talking to the General of Huan Country members, but in truth, he was criticizing Hu Liang in secret.
Seeing that the commander was angry, with a red face and thick neck, the General of Huan Country s who had stood up shrunk their necks in fright, not daring to say a single word more, they all sat back down in place. Hu Liang looked around at the surrounding General of Huan Country, and took a deep breath. In the end, he forcefully suppressed his anger and sat down.
Qian Chong calmly and gently said, "Whether the allied army is trying to bluff or not, the truth is that we will know after one try!" As he spoke, he called out, "Shen Fang, listen to me!"
"This lowly general is here!" Following his call, one of the General of Huan Country holding a dress stepped out, and paid his respects to Qian Chong.
"Shen Fang, this marshal will give you 10,000 men and horses. Leave the camp immediately and go to the Allied Army Battalion to demand war. If there is an ally who is going to fight, immediately withdraw." Qian Chong ordered confidently.
The one named Shen Fang accepted the order and left. Just as he left, Qian Chong said to the generals below with a smile: "This marshal is sure that the number of troops that the allied troops have to face off against the enemy does not exceed ten thousand!"
No more than ten thousand people? How could that be possible? It was rare for them to take the initiative to ask for a war. Although the allied forces would not go all out, they would at least send out tens of thousands of their men!
Seeing that all the generals were suspicious, Qian Chong laughed: "Let's go! You guys follow me to the stronghold's wall to watch the battle! "
As for the ten thousand Huan Army led by Shen Fang, he activated them and flew out like a ferocious tiger out of its cage.
For the past few days, they had had enough of the Alliance Army venting their anger at the enemy's scolding formation. Now, they finally had the chance to leave the camp, how could they let it slip by?
The allied army that were gathered outside the Everlasting Camp was cursing loudly, when suddenly, they saw their Enemy's Camp expanding and lots of Huan Army shooting out. They were so frightened that their faces changed, and they turned around and ran.
But how could these old, weak, and handicapped people outrun the elites of the Huan Army? With Shen Fang leading the pack of Huan Army s, they caught up to the soldiers of the allied army and crazily chopped them down, chasing Allied Soldier all the way to the Allied Army Camp's range.
