Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Feng Lingtian thought for a while, and then said to Chen Wei: "Chen Wei, do you know where the Chu Army's drinking water is?"

When Chen Wei heard this, he immediately knew what Feng Lingtian was thinking. He hurriedly said: "The Chu army is very cautious. They are afraid that the river water from unknown sources will be poisoned, so they found several springs on Lianhua Mountain to drink from. Chu Xuanchen sent heavy troops Guarding those springs, Chu Jun gets his daily drinking water from these springs!"

"Spring?" Feng Lingtian raised his eyebrows sharply, "Okay, then I will add something to their spring water to give them some color!"

Chen Wei said sullenly: "Your Majesty is wise, we used this trick in the past, and we were basically able to win every battle. If we can poison the spring water of the Chu army this time, the Chu army will definitely be destroyed without attack!"

"However, Chu Xuanchen's defenders have always been vigilant. There must be many people guarding the spring, so we have to think long-term." Speaking of this, Feng Lingtian said again: "Chu Xuanchen has always protected water sources and food and grass very well. Poisoning is very difficult, that's why I didn't use this method at first. Now that I'm forced to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"The crown prince is right. He, Chu Xuanchen, took my food and grass and cut off my water source first, so we don't need to talk morally to him. We must retaliate by destroying his water source!" Chen Wei said.

Feng Lingtian nodded: "General, you should send a group of people to investigate the water source of the Chu army first, and look for opportunities to strike. But you must be careful, and you must not startle the snake. Once the Chu army finds out, it will be very difficult to strike again. Disaster!"

"The last general takes orders." Chen Wei cupped his hands.

Lianhuashan Barracks

"My lord, the soldiers guarding the spring came to report that there were a few Tiansheng soldiers sneaking around last night, as if they wanted to get close to our water source!"

Chu Xuanchen pondered for a while, and said, "Feng Lingtian must want to poison our water source. This is his usual tactic in previous wars. He has been hiding in the city and dare not come out, and the city is not easy to attack. In this case , let’s use our tricks to lure the snake out of its hole!”

Mo Li nodded, "Yes, my lord."

Afterwards, Mo Li told the commander of Shouquanyan about Chu Xuanchen's strategy.

The commander pretended not to notice the enemy army on the opposite side. He took advantage of the interval between shifts and pretended to temporarily withdraw the soldiers guarding the spring. Before the replacement soldiers arrived, several Tiansheng soldiers thought they had found the opportunity, and hurriedly lurked in front of those springs, and poured all the poison bags in their hands into them.

After pouring, they quickly evacuated.

From a distance, Chu Jun saw the back of Tiansheng Bing fleeing in a hurry, and hurriedly reported the news to Chu Xuanchen.

After Chu Xuanchen received the news, he knew that the time had come, so he immediately sent people to start deployment, he wanted to confuse Feng Lingtian.

That night, after eating, most of the soldiers of the Chu army were foaming at the mouth, vomiting and diarrhea, showing symptoms of poisoning.

The soldiers were so weak that they fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Some vomited blood and were in pain. Immediately, the entire barracks wailed.

Seeing this, Chu Xuanchen hurriedly sent military doctors to treat them and investigate the cause of the poisoning at the same time.

Soon, it was reported that someone in the barracks had been poisoned to death!

The bodies of those who died of poisoning were carried to the mountain by the Chu army and buried on the spot.

That night, the soldiers were in chaos, the chickens and dogs were restless, most of the soldiers were poisoned, and the entire barracks was full of mourning and morale.
