Volume 10 Chapter 572
Chapter 572
After receiving the confirmation from the soldiers below, the regiment commander who accepted Tang Yin was even more proud, and a stone in Qian Chong's heart was finally settled.
Only Hu Liang's doubts about Tang Yin were not dispelled. In fact, even he himself couldn't tell what was wrong with Gao Hu, but his intuition told him that this person was by no means as simple as he seemed.
Hu Liang is an experienced veteran who has seen a lot and read countless people. No matter how much Tang Yin tries to hide himself, he will still naturally reveal some unique temperament that is different from ordinary people.
Although Hu Liang was very suspicious of Tang Yin, after all, he was not the commander-in-chief of the Huan Army, and he could not be the leader of the Huan Army.
After confrontation, Qian Chong was convinced of Tang Yin's identity. He sent the most capable scouts in the army to quietly go to the coalition camp to check whether the water used by the coalition forces really came from Lingshan Spring.
Not long after, the spies sent by the Huan Army returned one after another, and the news they brought back was consistent. The coalition soldiers did indeed get water from the Lingshan Spring, and they did not see any testing done by the coalition soldiers when they took the water. Obviously, they never thought of the spring water. Will be poisoned.
Qian Chong was overjoyed after hearing the report from his scouts, and immediately made the decision to adopt Gao Hu's suggestion and put poison in the spring water of Lingshan Mountain.
Now that you have decided to do it, you must leave no room for error. If you want to poison hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, you will need a lot of poison. Qian Chong was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he did not dare to collect it in a big way. Instead, he sent a letter directly to King Huan Lixin, asking the court to make preparations.
After receiving the letter from Qian Chong, Li Xin felt that this plan was too vicious, but it was still a clever plan. He immediately agreed and ordered the court to collect arsenic from all counties across the country. Arsenic is necessary to make arsenic, which is highly poisonous.
Within a few days, the Huanguo court forged the collected arsenic into arsenic, and then transported it in batches to the Huanjun camp in Dahe Mountain.
The poisons sent by the Huan Kingdom court were numerous and mixed, mainly arsenic, as well as highly toxic substances such as nux vomica and gallbladder.
After receiving the poison from the imperial court, Qian Chong divided it into several portions and personally commanded the Huan Army officers to pour the poison into the Lingshan spring in batches.
The timing of poisoning is also very tricky. It is necessary to accurately grasp the time when the coalition forces draw water, and then calculate the speed of the water flow. The poisoning time should be neither early nor late. For this reason, Huan Jun specially conducted several experiments. , throwing a large number of brightly colored leaves and petals into the water, and then monitored by spies lurking near the coalition camp to see when those leaves and petals would flow to the coalition camp.
In order to make the poisoning tactic a big success, Qian Chong took great pains and racked his brains.
Under Qian Chong's order, the Huan army continuously poured poison into the spring water of Lingshan within one day. According to the reports from spies in the front, the soldiers of the coalition forces had poured the highly poisonous spring water back into the military camp.
Qian Chong was overjoyed to learn about the situation. He suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart and continued to wait patiently. What he had to wait for next was the news from the front that there was a large-scale poisoning of coalition soldiers.
But a whole day passed, and everything was calm in the coalition camp, with no signs of a large number of soldiers being poisoned.
On the second day, sentries began to be posted on the walls of the coalition camp, and shouts and shouts of soldiers doing drills could be heard in the camp.
The Huan Kingdom spies lurking near the coalition camp were shocked and hurriedly sent the news back to the Huan Army camp. At this time, all the Huan generals led by Qian Chong were in the central tent of the Huan Army camp. People had stayed up all night and their eyes were red.
Suddenly, when they heard that the Allied Forces camp was setting up more posts and sentry posts, and there was news of soldiers practicing, the expressions of General Huan all changed greatly. Could it be that their own plan had failed and the Allied Forces had detected poison in the water?
Qian Chong was also surprised at first, but then he rolled his eyes, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "Our army has accomplished something great!"
All the generals were dumbfounded when they heard this. There were no signs of poisoning among the soldiers in the coalition camp. How could they have accomplished such a great thing? General Youhuan stood up, raised his hands and asked, "General, how do you say this?"
Qian Chong smiled leisurely and asked: "The coalition camp suddenly added more sentries and sentries, and they also deliberately revealed that they were training troops in Japan. What is the purpose of this?"
The Huan generals looked at each other, yes, what does this mean? Before anyone could answer, Qian Chong already asked and answered: "This is obviously because he is afraid that our army will take the initiative to attack! The coalition's combat power is far superior to our army. They have always sent old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to our army. The purpose of attacking the enemy in front of the camp is to induce our army to take the initiative and have a head-on confrontation with our army. Now the coalition forces are uncharacteristically adding more posts and sentries, and training their troops and horses. Isn’t this a sign of cowardice? Is it true? If the commander’s prediction is correct, a large number of soldiers have been poisoned in the coalition camp, but the coalition forces have not dared to announce it. For our army, now is a good opportunity to take the initiative to attack! "
After hearing Qian Chong's analysis, the eyes of Huan Generals all brightened up, and they all nodded their heads, secretly saying that it made sense.
"General, this opportunity must not be missed. If it is lost, it will never come back. Our army should immediately send troops to attack the coalition camp!" "General, I am willing to take the lead. If I can't take the lead first, I am willing to take the lead and see you later!"
At this time, the generals Huan were all energetic and rushed to invite soldiers to fight.
Hu Liang, who had always advocated taking the initiative, now sang the opposite tune. Just when the generals Huan's momentum was high and their blood was boiling, Hu Liang stood up and shouted in a loud voice: "Going to fight now is like asking for death!"
His words seemed to pour cold water, extinguishing the spirit of everyone present. Qian Chong looked at Hu Liang and smiled bitterly. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if this man was born to be against him.
When he said to defend, he said to take the initiative to attack, and when he was about to take the initiative to attack, he stood up to obstruct. In short, no matter what he said, he would say the opposite opinion.
Qian Chong was a marquis of a country after all, and he was very open-minded. He suppressed his disgust and asked with a smile: "General Hu, why do you oppose our army's initiative to attack now?"
"What if this is a trick used by the coalition forces?" Hu Liang said bluntly: "If Gao Hu is a spy sent by the coalition forces, deliberately inducing our army to adopt the poisoning plan, and then the coalition forces make a false assumption of poisoning to induce our army to attack, then our army will not fall into a trap and fall into an irreversible situation?"
After hearing his words, not to mention Qian Chong's displeasure, the other Huan generals also showed impatience on their faces. Whether Gao Hu is a spy or not, we have already tested it, and it was a public confrontation, how could it be false? The inference made by Hu Liang was simply based on the impossible and could not convince people. In the eyes of the Huan generals, Hu Liang simply relied on his status as a Sichuan general, looked down on others, and regarded himself and other Huan generals as idiots and fools.
"Since General Hu said Gao Hu is a spy of the coalition forces, do you have any evidence?" General Huan asked angrily.
"It is precisely because I have no evidence that I let him live until now!" Hu Liang said coldly with a gloomy face.
"Haha——" General Huan laughed angrily and shook his head and said: "Since General Hu has no evidence, what basis does he have to say that Gao Hu is a spy? Does General Hu just want to show off the superiority of Sichuan people in front of us and deliberately be different?"
This sentence made Hu Liang unbearable. If the other party attacked him directly, it would be nothing, at most everyone had different ideas, but now General Huan attacked all Sichuan people, which made the old man's beard stand up.
"You are a hateful boy, you made a mistake, how can I let you go!" While speaking, Hu Liang turned his hand and grasped the sword at his waist. Seeing this, the generals present stood up in a large group, all of them glared at Hu Liang.
Seeing his subordinates quarreling with the Sichuan general, Qian Chong suddenly felt overwhelmed. Although Hu Liang was only a lieutenant general, he was highly respected in Sichuan. If he really hurt the old man, he would not be able to explain to the king.
Snap! Qian Chong slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Do you still have me as the commander in your eyes?" He said this to the Huan generals. In fact, he was secretly blaming Hu Liang.
Seeing the commander angry, his face was red and his neck was thick. The Huan generals who stood up were frightened and shrank their necks. They dared not say another word and sat back in their original positions. Hu Liang looked around at the Huan generals around him, took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed his anger and sat down.
Qian Chong said calmly and softly: "Whether the coalition forces are planning or bluffing, we will know it after a try!" As he spoke, he called: "Shen Fang, listen to the order!"
"I am here!" Following his call, a Huan general stepped out of the line with his military skirt and saluted in front of Qian Chong.
"Shen Fang, I will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses. Go out of the camp immediately and go to the coalition camp to fight. If the coalition goes out to fight, you don't need to do anything, just withdraw immediately." Qian Chong gave the order confidently.
The Huan general named Shen Fang bowed to receive the order and left. As soon as he left, Qian Chong said to the generals below with a smile: "I can be sure that the coalition forces will definitely not exceed 10,000 troops to fight!"
No more than 10,000? How is that possible? It's rare for our side to take the initiative to ask for a fight. Although the coalition forces will not go out in full force, they must at least send out tens of thousands of people!
Seeing that all the generals were suspicious, Qian Chong smiled and said: "Let's go! Follow me to the wall of the camp to watch the battle!"
The 10,000 Huan troops led by Shen Fang opened the camp gate and rushed out like a tiger out of a cage.
In recent days, they have had enough of the humiliation of the coalition forces to fight the enemy. Now they finally have the opportunity to go out of the camp, how can they miss it?
The coalition forces gathered outside Huanying were cursing vigorously when they suddenly saw the gate of the enemy camp opened and many Huan soldiers rushed out. They were so frightened that their faces suddenly changed and they turned around and ran back.
However, how could these old, weak, sick and disabled people outrun the elite of Huan army? The Huan army led by Shen Fang caught up with the coalition soldiers and killed them crazily. They chased the coalition soldiers into the range of the coalition camp and then stopped.
