Chapter 757: Inspecting the Camps

Even though the Marquis never looked directly at the young man from the Xun family for even a moment from beginning to end, let alone got angry about it.

But the Marquis's disregard shows his broad-mindedness.

This guy was so offensive and rude to the Marquis in front of Wei Yan. If Wei Yan was allowed to do so, he would feel that he was not sensible and considerate enough.

It is our duty to complete the tasks that the Marquis has explicitly ordered us to do.

If you want to make progress and gain the Marquis's attention and trust, you must do properly even things that the Marquis does not directly order you to do.

Only in this way can you stand out.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan did not forget to recheck whether Xun Yu's three clans had been wiped out completely, and after detaining the rest of the Xun clan members, he went to Li Ji's tent to report.

"Ok?"

However, when Li Ji looked through the report document prepared by Wei Yan, he found that the number of people beheaded was one more than the number of Xun Yu's three clans recorded in the family tree.

"Why is there one more?"

Li Ji put down the documents, picked up the teacup, and asked casually.

Wei Yan quickly replied. "According to reliable information, there was a man suspected to be Xun Yu's illegitimate son, and he was also killed."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, how could he not understand the implied meaning of these words.

According to reliable information, that is to say, the information is not necessarily true.

Suspected, then probably not.

However, Wei Yan killed the other party so bluntly without deliberately covering it up, which seemed more like he was seeking credit.

Li Ji thought about it and understood who had fallen victim to Wei Yan's sword.

"That's thoughtful, but next time, you need to carefully consider whether the information is reliable or not. Don't trust unreliable information and accidentally kill a useful person."

"Yes, yes, the Marquis is right. I will be more careful next time."

Wei Yan responded quickly.

Immediately, Li Ji put down the document in his hand, stood up, and let Gu Wei put his cloak on him to block the wind, then spoke.

"Wen Chang, let's go."

Wei Yan immediately caught up with Li Ji and asked carefully, "Where are you going, Lord?"

"Go to the North Camp."

Li Ji answered, then turned over and mounted the good horse that had been prepared in advance. Accompanied by Xu Chu, Wei Yan and Gu Wei, he led five hundred tiger guards to bypass Ruyang City and rush to the North Camp.

Along the way, Li Ji walked slowly and deliberately inspected the military discipline of the military camps along the way.

As the headquarters of Li Ji's central army, Nanying naturally had strict military discipline.

Dongying is led by Wen Pin as the commander-in-chief, and it is also the one with the least number of troops.

Even though the army's morale had been dampened after the siege lasted for more than half a month, the military discipline in Dongying was still maintained quite well.

"Wen Pin is indeed a useful general."

Li Ji nodded secretly, feeling approval.

Perhaps, Wen Pin does not have any special strengths, but his style of doing things is steady and solid. The saying "A good warrior does not have glorious achievements" refers to people like Wen Pin.

It doesn't have any special advantages, but it won't easily make any mistakes or flaws.

When Li Ji passed the East Camp and arrived at the North Camp, his face couldn't help but darken slightly.

The four generals were responsible for each gate and attacked Ruyang City on their own. Perhaps Li Ji's main purpose was to delay for a certain period of time, creating a period of time for the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou to wreak havoc.

At the same time, it also aims to continuously wear down the determination and strength of Ruyang City's defense, and to bring back Wen Pin and Zang Ba, who are representatives of Jingzhou and Xuzhou respectively, so as to show the purpose of treating everyone equally.

As for Zhang Fei, who was appointed as the commander of the North Camp, Li Ji also wanted to give Zhang Fei a suitable opportunity to train himself.

Guan Yu had been able to lead his troops independently for a long time, but Zhang Fei was slow to become a qualified commander.

Both in public and in private, Li Ji has naturally been deliberately cultivating Zhang Fei in secret.

However, what Li Ji saw in the North Camp was a mess, and the soldiers on guard seemed quite casual and unfocused.

Not to mention compared with Nanying, it can't even compare with Dongying.

This made Li Ji's face turn slightly darker as he stepped forward to identify himself and conduct the inspection.

After ordering the soldiers guarding the gate not to make any noise, Li Ji led the Tiger Guards straight into the North Camp and began to patrol everywhere.

Not only were many parts of the camp not arranged in accordance with military tactics, but the soldiers in the Northern Camp were also seen to be disorganized and their overall morale was obviously low.

It would have been fine if the morale was low, but that sense of laxity made Li Ji feel as if the soldiers in the North Camp had been led astray by Zhang Fei.

Only after Li Ji put his hands behind his back and inspected the area in silence did he walk towards the North Camp tent.

However, before Li Ji got close to the North Camp tent, he heard Zhang Fei's thunderous voice from afar.

"That guy is just a surrendered general. What qualifications does he have for me to personally discuss the matter of joining forces to attack the city?"

"Don't talk too much, don't talk too much..."

"I will break through this north gate sooner or later. There is no need to waste so much effort."

Li Ji chose to stop ten steps outside the big tent and listen to what Zhang Fei was doing behind his back and who he was chirping about.

Naturally, most of Zhang Fei's personal guards, led by the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, knew Li Ji.

When they saw the Marquis suddenly appear in the North Camp, standing outside the big tent with his hands behind his back, listening to Zhang Fei and a group of captains and auxiliary soldiers discussing matters.

For a moment, the guards were so frightened that their palms were sweating. They straightened their backs subconsciously and looked straight ahead, as if they were completely unaware that someone was eavesdropping on their secrets outside the camp.

As for warning Zhang Fei in the big tent, when Li Ji's indifferent eyes glanced at them, the guards immediately gave up the idea, for fear of angering the marquis and causing Zhang Fei to scold him afterwards.

I don’t know, I’m not sure, I didn’t see it…

Li Ji ignored these guards who acted like wooden men and continued to listen to the movements in the big tent with his eyes narrowed.

After Zhang Fei's voice just rang out, a series of chaotic voices appeared in the big tent, as if they were working together to persuade Zhang Fei and other generals to join forces to attack the city.

It was true that all four generals wanted to take the credit for conquering Ruyang, and they were secretly competing with each other, and none of them was willing to give in.

Among them, Zhang Fei's habit of using troops, apart from reckless actions, was to occasionally give the Yan people a heads-up.

But there was nothing to inspire them to break through Ruyang City, which led to Zhang Fei leading the siege for more than half a month, but the offensive was repeatedly frustrated, with little success and heavy losses.

Therefore, the people in the North Camp Army, led by the captain, naturally joined forces to persuade Zhang Fei to take the initiative to unite with other generals and cooperate with them, and maybe they could break through Ruyang City.

"No, no, if I go, wouldn't I be lowering my head? Then will they help me to attack the city, or will I help them?"

At the end, Zhang Fei couldn't help but slap the table repeatedly and said.

"Don't say anything more. Even if the emperor himself issues an edict, I will not voluntarily bow my head."

The next moment, Li Ji walked in and asked.

"What about my military orders? Will Yide listen to them?" (End of this chapter)
