A moment later, the military doctor hurried to Shi Qiang's tent.
Shi Qiang didn't wait for the military doctor to salute and directly ordered,
"Check if the carrier pigeons and the letter on their feet are poisonous."
The military doctor was slightly stunned and followed Shi Qiang's gaze to look at the deputy general standing beside him.
The deputy general looked at Shi Qiang's cautious look and his face turned pale with fright.
I was careless!
If this carrier pigeon really is poisonous, he's done for.
The deputy general looked at the military doctor with fear in his eyes, his breathing trembling slightly.
"Yes." The military doctor responded and turned to walk in front of the deputy general.
The military doctor took out a set of tools for detecting poison, cut off a few feathers of the carrier pigeon, and tested them carefully.
The deputy general stared at the military doctor's movements, not daring to blink, his heart in his throat.
General Shi Qiang, who was originally standing next to the desk, had walked to the side of the military doctor without knowing when.
He stood one step away from the military doctor with his hands behind his back, brows furrowed as he watched the doctor's movements.
"Gugu~Gugu~"
In the tense and quiet tent, there was only the carrier pigeon held by the deputy general, which was calling back and forth with clear eyes and shaking its head.
Every time the carrier pigeon called, the deputy general's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he wanted to let go and throw the carrier pigeon in his hand.
But he didn't dare throw the carrier pigeon away, because he would have to catch it if he threw it away, after all, he had already been touched by the carrier pigeon.
The deputy general took a deep breath, and the palm of his hand holding the carrier pigeon was already soaked with sweat.
After a moment, the military doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shi Qiang,
"General, there is no poison on the pigeon's feathers."
When the deputy general heard that the carrier pigeon was not poisonous, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His heart, which had risen to his throat, quickly returned to its place.
There is no poison in the carrier pigeon, so he is safe.
He hasn't taken the letter off the pigeon's foot yet, so even if it's poisonous, it can't harm him.
Shi Qiang's frown remained on his face as he looked at the letter tied to the pigeon's leg.
"See if there's any poison in that letter."
"yes!"
The military doctor responded, turned around and walked to the deputy general whose expression had eased a little, and carefully removed the letter from the pigeon's foot.
The deputy general watched the military doctor take the letter from the pigeon's foot, and his hand holding the pigeon tightened slightly.
Don't let the meat in your mouth fly away.
He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Looking at the cooing carrier pigeon in his hand, he wanted to eat it raw.
At this time, the deputy general had long lost his fear of carrier pigeons. His mind was full of thousands of things that carrier pigeons could do, and his saliva was gurgling down his throat.
Shi Qiang, who was staring at the letter in the military doctor's hand, heard the deputy general swallowing, raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes at him.
What a useless thing! He was so greedy that he couldn't walk when he saw a carrier pigeon.
After all, he was not the one who promoted the deputy general, so his ability is indeed a bit lacking.
The deputy general was startled by Shi Qiang's stare.
He pursed his lips, cleared his mind of the thousands of ways the carrier pigeon could behave, and looked at the military doctor who was unfolding the letter.
When Shi Qiang saw the military doctor carefully unfold the letter, his first reaction was to take a half step back.
Some poisons can still infect you if you get too close.
As a general of an army, he must not fall down.
If he fell at this moment, all the soldiers on the border would fall into the hands of General Cong Chongqiu.
When he wakes up, no soldier will be willing to listen to him.
Originally, the soldiers stationed on the border did not listen to him, only the 30,000 troops he brought obeyed his orders.
If even the 30,000 troops under his command were taken away by Cong Chongqiu, then he would really become a general without any troops.
Thinking of Cong Chongqiu, Shi Qiang couldn't help but grind his back teeth.
There were as many as 100,000 troops stationed on the border, but he only had 30,000 men.
It was true that he was the one who proposed the surprise attack in the previous battle, but he required all 130,000 soldiers to attack on all fronts and capture Shuitian City in one fell swoop.
But Cong Chongqiu refused to agree and was only willing to send 50,000 troops.
Helplessly, he took his own 30,000 soldiers and the 50,000 soldiers given by Cong Chongqiu, claiming to have an army of 100,000 to scare Shuitian City, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat.
He always believed that it was because Cong Chongqiu did not have 50,000 more soldiers that they suffered a crushing defeat.
Cong Chongqiu had the nerve to blame him for not being fully prepared and for launching a rash attack that resulted in the sacrifice of so many soldiers' lives in vain.
It really pissed him off...
Or as the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain.
Having two great generals, him and Cong Chongqiu, on the border is not a good thing at all.
Shi Qiang's eyes flashed slightly, it would be great if he could knock Cong Chongqiu down.
Unfortunately, Cong Chongqiu's military camp and his military camp had nothing to do with each other, and the two sides would only meet when discussing military matters.
Which country fights war like this? What kind of thing is this?
Just when Shi Qiang was thinking about how to persuade Cong Chongqiu to take advantage of the freezing weather to launch another surprise attack on Shuitian City, the military doctor spoke.
"General, there is no poison on the letter."
The military doctor's voice trembled slightly when he said this.
He was not scared by the test for poison, but by the content of the letter.
When the deputy general heard the military doctor's words, his eyes immediately turned to the letter spread out on the small table.
Before he could see clearly what was written on the letter, Shi Qiang picked it up.
Shi Qiang read the contents of the letter at a glance, widened his eyes in disbelief, and read it carefully again from the beginning.
"I've always said there must be something fishy going on in this battle!"
"OK!"
"What a traitorous bastard!"
"Ha!" Shi Qiang held the letter in his hand and sneered, gritted his teeth.
"I have always been invincible and victorious, so I shouldn't have been defeated so miserably."
"So this is an inside job..."
At this moment, Shi Qiang finally understood why Cong Chongqiu was so unwilling to send all his soldiers to fight. It turned out that...
The deputy general was confused after listening to Shi Qiang's incoherent words.
He looked at Shi Qiang in confusion, his eyes swirled twice, and then looked at the military doctor who lowered his head and remained silent.
Looking at the military doctor's completely uninterested expression, it was obvious that he knew the contents of the letter very well.
Yes, when a military doctor handles a letter, how could he not read what is written on it? He is not blind.
Well, there were only three people in the tent, and both of them knew what was written in the letter, except him.
He is a very talkative person, so why not tell him the contents of the letter?
"General, what's written in this letter?"
The deputy general pursed his lips, glanced at the letter in Shi Qiang's hand, and asked.
Insider!?
He also wants to know who the traitor is.
There is a traitor in the military camp. It's such a big thing, who wouldn't be curious.
For a moment, he really couldn't think of who looked like the traitor.
Also, who wrote this letter and to whom was it sent?
There should be a mark or signature on the letter, right?
