Feng Lingtian thought for a while and then said to Chen Wei: "Chen Wei, do you know where the drinking water source of the Chu army is?"
When Chen Wei heard this, he immediately knew what Feng Lingtian was thinking, and he hurriedly said: "The Chu army was very cautious. They were afraid that the river water from unknown sources would be poisoned, so they found several springs on Lianhua Mountain for drinking.
Chu Xuanchen sent heavy troops to guard those springs, and the Chu army obtained their 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 sinisterly: "The prince is wise. In the past, we used this trick and we were always victorious. If we can poison the Chu army's spring water this time, the Chu army will definitely defeat itself!"
"But Chu Xuanchen's defenders have always been vigilant. There must be many people guarding the spring. We have to take a long-term approach."
Speaking of this, Feng Lingtian added: "Chu Xuanchen has always protected water sources and food and grass very well. It is very difficult to poison them. This is why I did not use this method at the beginning.
Now that I have been forced into this situation by him, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
"The prince is right. He, Chu Xuanchen, stole my food and grass and cut off my water source first, so we don't need to argue with him morally.
We must retaliate and destroy his water source to get revenge!"
Chen Weidao.
Feng Lingtian nodded: "General, you first send a team of people to explore the Chu army's water source and look for an opportunity to strike.
But you must be careful and don’t alert the enemy, once the Chu army discovers it, it will be very difficult to attack again!”
"The last general takes orders."
Chen Wei bowed his hand.

Lianhuashan Military Camp
"Your Majesty, the soldiers guarding the spring came to report that there were several Tiansheng soldiers sneaking around last night, as if they wanted to get close to our water source!"
Mo Li, the chief accountant of the Chinese army, came to report.
Chu Xuanchen thought 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 dared not come out. The city is not easy to attack. In this case, we will use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole!"
Moli nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Later, Mo Li told the commander of Shouquanyan about Chu Xuanchen's strategy.
The commander pretended not to notice the enemy troops on the opposite side. He took advantage of the gap between shifts and pretended to temporarily withdraw the soldiers guarding the spring.
Before the replacement soldiers arrived, several Tiansheng soldiers thought they had found an opportunity and hurriedly lurked in front of the springs and poured all the poison bags in their hands into them.
After the fall was over, they hurriedly evacuated.
From a distance, the Chu army saw Tiansheng's soldiers fleeing in panic, and quickly reported the news to Chu Xuanchen.
After Chu Xuanchen received the news, he knew that the time had come. He immediately sent people to start the deployment. He wanted to confuse Feng Lingtian.
.
That night, most of the soldiers of the Chu army foamed at the mouth, vomited and had diarrhea after eating, showing symptoms of poisoning.
The soldiers were all sore and weak and fell to the ground unable to get up. Some of them vomited blood and were in constant pain.
Suddenly, the entire military camp howled.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xuanchen quickly sent a military doctor to treat them and at the same time investigate the cause of the poisoning.
Soon, there were reports in the military camp that someone had been poisoned!
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 troops were in chaos, the chickens and dogs were restless, most of the soldiers were poisoned, the whole camp was filled with mourning, and morale was low.
