“I’ve been stationed here for many days. Isn’t there any good news?”

The food and grass were suddenly taken away, causing Liao Qianhua to feel tinnitus.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are crying for food. How to fill these mouths is a problem.

As for the group of cavalry who robbed food and grass, how to catch them was also a problem.

Liao Qianhua closed his eyes, unable to settle his mind, and turned to ask about his deputy Gu Ting.

“Where are the people? Let me ask you about Chen Zhibao.”

“General, it’s a good thing that Chen Zhibao stayed in the city and didn’t come out.”

As night fell, Liao Qianhua’s heart sank into darkness.

The veteran was very confident in taking action, so he ordered three thousand slingers to work day and night just to force Chen Zhibao out.

In his opinion, no matter how united the soldiers of Xiacheng were, they would eventually be outnumbered and shrinking all the time was not the habit of warriors like Chen Zhibao.

But the other side refused to send troops, and Liao Qianhua was helpless.

“That day when I was watching Chen Zhibao in front of the formation, he had a very hot temper. How could he be so calm?”

“Could it be that there is a master in Xia City who is guiding the battle…”

He paced forward, the bonfire was still burning, but his heart could no longer be at peace.

Because Xia Cheng is like a piece of meat on a hob, even if it is kneaded and beaten, it will not lose its position, but it still defends like an iron bucket.

At this time Gu Ting had an idea.

“Since you’re not going to show off, let’s do some tricks.”

“Isn’t the snow in the mountains to the north connected to Xia City?” Liao Qianhua’s eyes darkened.

Polluting water sources? Not bad.

The army borrowed river water, which would not be affected even if it was poisoned.

The lieutenant was afraid that if word spread, Empress Qinghe would have a bad reputation. After all, these people were also registered subjects of Dayu.

“Arrange it immediately, the sooner the better!”

“Xia City is full of rebels. They should die long ago. It doesn’t matter if they die early or later.”

Liao Qianhua’s eyes dimmed and he immediately agreed.

Immediately, a dozen soldiers filled their pockets and ran to the foot of the snow-capped mountains in the north.

Snowy mountains to the north.

There are more than a hundred underground stone paths that connect the snow-capped mountains and the wells in Xiacheng. They were built by our ancestors a hundred years ago.

Because the weather was freezing, the river was far away, and it was difficult to get ice, the people in Xiacheng turned to well water.

“This is it.”

A whisper came, and after the group went to the source of the well water upstream, they threw the sacks heavily on the ground.

“Brothers, work more quickly. General Liao will reward you greatly when you return.”

The sacks were opened, revealing several corpses with white bones, green water and pus, and they were all rotten.

thump!

After successfully throwing away the bodies, everyone took out a lot of wild meat that smelled of rancidity and threw them all into the waterway, almost completely blocking it.

Seeing the snow turning red and carrying carrion carrying it down the river, Lieutenant General Gu Ting glanced sideways, clapped his hands and said, “Okay, keep going until the pile is full.”

Once the same kind of corpse is taken orally, it is easy to trigger “human madness”.

The edge of the water pool was soon filled with blood.

By the moonlight, the group of people traveled smoothly and were busy until dawn.

Early next morning.

The Houshan refugee camp is as busy as usual. Before dawn, people are fetching water for cooking, and they are all gathered around the two wells.

The weather is getting warmer today, so there are more people queuing up, and it gets noisy after a while.

“Mom, I was obviously here first, why did you jump in line?”

“My child is young and is clamoring for porridge. What’s wrong with you?”

When a young man meets an aunt, it is like a scholar meeting a soldier.

This young man may have just gotten up and was very angry. He threw the bucket on the ground with a click, pointed at the aunt’s nose and cursed: “That’s your child, and you don’t care if I call you daddy.” The young man rolled his eyes: “That’s really not possible. , If you insist on jumping in line and asking that boy to call me daddy, then I will let you go.”

Just a few words made the aunt so angry that she put her hands on her hips.

Looking at the long water fetching team behind her, the aunt pulled the child hard, placed it directly next to the puddle, and fed water with a big mouthful of a gourd, “Let’s just grab this water, what’s going on?”

The two sides were furious, and the teams behind them were in chaos, pushing and shoving indiscriminately.

“Who is making a noise here?” A feminine voice sounded, and the crowd fell silent after a few moments.

“Eunuch Cao, you are finally here, you have to uphold justice for us.”

“This bitch is not a good person!”

The younger brother was so happy that he ran to Cao Zhengchun and explained everything clearly.

There were onlookers to testify, and those who caused the chaos could not defend themselves.

“Now that we are resisting foreign enemies and everyone is in danger, how can you still think about grabbing water?” “Nonsense.” With Cao Zhengchun here, the woman did not dare to make a mistake and pulled the child into her arms dejectedly.

Wait!

The woman was stunned and froze in her steps, thinking she was going to settle accounts with her husband.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhengchun walked quickly to the well and asked sternly: “How many people have poured this water?” The people present looked at each other and stumbled back.

“Big, bigAbout a dozen or so. “Those who have reached the Golden Body Realm have extremely strong physical fitness and can smell the quality of clean, turbid, and rotten things with their breath.

When he smelled it, he felt that the well water was fishy and not refreshing.

Cao Zhengchun remained calm and tested it with a silver needle in the name of daily water inspection.

Looking at the light purple on the silver needle, Cao Zhengchun turned his eyes and shouted immediately: “Stop!” The roar came out from Dantian and quickly spread. Hundreds of people could hear it clearly.

Several people were so scared that they dropped their buckets and ran all over the ground with the clean water they had finally drawn.

“Pass the order down, no one is allowed to drink the well water. Wait for the report from the family before making a decision. ”

Cao Zhengchun interrupted the crowd who were collecting water, and ordered the Jinyiwei to guard the wellhead in person to prevent the victims from taking the initiative.

The crowd did not understand what he meant, but seeing Cao Zhengchun’s rare serious look, they guessed that something was wrong with the well. Even if they were thirsty, they just endured it.

After a while, Lin Chengtian hurried over, and Cao Zhengchun, who was always cold and frosty, changed his face slightly.

“What’s the situation?” “Although the wellhead was blocked and the infection was blocked in time, these dozen wells were useless.” Lin Chengtian looked at the eager people and realized the deep crisis.

Xiacheng has 150,000 soldiers and more than 80,000 people. The water supply for hundreds of thousands of people is not trivial.

Xu San, the military manager, immediately said: “We can overcome it with gritted teeth, and everyone will overcome the difficulties.” However, Lin Chengtian shook his head.

“If a person does not drink water for three days, his life will be in danger. “”Even if we can endure it, can the old women and children in Xiacheng endure it? “Swish——There was a roar behind him, Chen Zhibao stepped forward quickly and asked Lin Chengtian.

“My lord, please let Chen go to the battlefield!” “I don’t ask for one life for another, but I ask for violence to fight violence!”

Deep in the crisis, Lin Chengtian took a deep breath and did not rush to send troops out.

“You get up.”

“It’s not the time yet. It’s too dangerous to rush out before Huo Qubing sends the second wave of food and grass.”

Lin Chengtian knew that Chen Zhibao was loyal and not afraid of death.

But he was still stopped by Lin Chengtian.

“Xu San, you first investigate where the water source is blocked and clear it as soon as possible.” “As for the water used in the next few days, take the river ice first, remind everyone to melt it, filter it with gauze and cotton cloth, and boil it before drinking.”

After making arrangements, Lin Chengtian looked at the stinking well water and came up with a plan.
