"What did you hear?"
"I heard from one of my relatives in Cao Jun that Cao Jun didn't have much food and grass. They didn't even have enough food for themselves. How could they give us alms, let alone pay us travel expenses?"
"That's unlikely! Then General Li made the promise in front of so many of us. Will he return?"
"Repent, there is nothing you can't repent. According to their generals, this is called Bingbuyiao. Think about it, we have more than 3 mouths in class, how could there be such a good thing that we took the money and returned it. I heard that they He intends to kill us all when the time is right."
"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible."
"Is there anything impossible? You have forgotten that in the battle that Qin Bing fought in your hometown, 40 people could be slaughtered, let alone this small 3 people."
There are lessons learned from the past, and suddenly the faces of these soldiers are full of horror.
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
One or two more assertive soldiers looked around and saw that the soldiers of Cao Jun who were watching them were not paying attention and drew a stroke on their necks.
Rumors spread everywhere in the city, so naturally they did not escape Li Ji's attention.
It's just that he didn't send people to suppress the spread of this rumor. Instead, he treated it coldly, making the rumor more and more crazy.
At the beginning, it was only rumored that Li Ji might repent and kill these soldiers, but in the end even the specific time and place were announced.
Under such circumstances, even Cao Jun himself was more or less affected.
Inside the commander's tent, Chen Qingzhi entered quickly, followed by two generals Wang Yanzhang and Guan Sheng.
After entering the account, before Chen Qingzhi asked, Wang Yanzhang asked in a broken voice: "Military Master, do you really want to kill those soldiers? It's unknown! Think twice."
Li Ji put down the official document in his hand, glanced at the three people in front of him, and fixed his eyes on Chen Qingzhi.
"You all think so?"
Chen Qingzhi looked into Li Ji's eyes quietly, and he saw peace in Li Ji's eyes.
It was as calm as water.
Chen Qingzhi was born in poverty in the early years, and has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.
With such a peaceful look in his eyes, it only takes one glance to completely put people at ease.
"Military Master, we believe it, but the brothers below can't guarantee that they will believe it. Now the rumors have spread, and everyone says you want to kill those soldiers." After all, Guan Sheng is just an ordinary general, and Chen Qingzhi's mind has not changed so fast.
And everything is just appearance, no one knows exactly what Li Ji's plan is.
"What is Jintai doing?"
"According to my observation, it seems that he didn't do anything these days, and stayed in the house obediently." Chen Qingzhi said lightly.
"As expected, as expected!" A smile appeared on Li Ji's face. Obviously, this was a smile that saw everything and controlled everything.
"Sure enough, the military division has already made a decision?"
"Since they want to do this, why don't we add fuel to the flames and let these ambitious people be exposed early. It will save us too much trouble at that time, and save trouble and effort by solving it once."
The corners of Li Ji's mouth rose slightly.
If Jintai only relied on these [-] soldiers, it would definitely not be able to accomplish anything, which also showed that in Shanggu and Daijun, their own internal response was hidden.
"Obey!" Chen Qingzhi and the others readily understood, and retreated quickly, everything seemed calm as if nothing had happened.
That night, Li Ji came forward to clarify the facts, and the rumors that had been rumored for a long time were finally dispelled.
But many people are also holding a dubious attitude.
After this incident, two days later, there was a sudden friction between Yue Fei and Chen Qing over the distribution of food and grass, which caused the soldiers below to be on edge, and their emotions fluctuated greatly.
Even if Li Ji came forward, it only slightly calmed down the conflict between the two. The two sides each played 100 big boards, and the more than [-] people who caused trouble were all dealt with by military law.
All of a sudden, it was rumored in the camp that Li Ji was unfair, because Yue Fei was once a general under Yuan Xi's command, so he deliberately favored Chen Qingzhi.
Many people fought for Yue Fei and pleaded with Li Ji, but Li Ji rejected them in public.
It was night when Li Ji was sitting in the study, when he heard Yue Fei came to see him, he hurriedly invited Yue Fei in.
After hesitating for a long time, Yue Fei didn't want to come.
But things are moving in an unpredictable direction. Even if Yue Fei wants to protect himself wisely, it may be difficult to do so now.
"Pengju Xingye came to see me, there must be something important!"
Yue Fei sighed and said, "Rumors are spreading everywhere because of the last general. The last general does not want to embarrass the general, and is willing to resign from the army and return to the countryside."
Li Ji looked at Yue Fei with a look of surprise and said, "Peng Ju is a general of our army, how could I be willing to let you leave like this! Come on, sit down and talk slowly."
Seeing this, Yue Fei's face was full of helplessness.
It is really difficult to weigh the importance of being my uncle on one side and the lord I am loyal to on the other.
"It seems that I have something hard to say about Pengju?" Li Ji smiled and filled a bowl of tea for Yue Fei.
Yue Fei sighed and said: "These days, there are rumors everywhere in the city, and everything is done by the last general's teacher Bo Jintai."
"Pengju's remarks are a bit hasty, but is there any real evidence?"
Yue Fei didn't participate, so how could he have any real evidence, he glanced at Li Ji and didn't know what to say.
After about a while, Li Ji burst out laughing and said, "I am in command of an army of [-]. If you can't control the small rumors, how can you command the army? However, I have made meritorious deeds from Jintai, so I can't punish you without authorization. As for him, otherwise he will definitely fall into the trick of the traitor and mess up the minds of the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered in Youzhou."
When Yue Fei heard this, his eyes were full of surprise.
Li Ji knew it a long time ago, but he never pointed it out. It seems that he really underestimated this capable general who was worshiped by Cao Anmin as a military adviser and general.
"It seems that the general is worrying too much. Excuse me. The military division rested earlier, and the general will go back first." After saying that, Yue Fei stood up and was about to leave.
"Don't rush away, look, this tea has been brewed for you, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't drink it, but there's no harm in sitting down."
Li Ji dispelled Yue Fei's worries directly with a smile, and Yue Fei could only bite the bullet and continue to sit down.
"Not only did I know that everything was caused by Jintai, but I also knew that Jintai deliberately wanted to disturb my army's morale and ruin my affairs. It's just that I lack someone to find out what they are planning for me."
Yue Fei cupped his fists and said, "The last general is willing to go."
"Jintai is cautious and cautious, and ordinary people can't win his trust. Unless he uses bitter tricks, it will be difficult to lure the enemy into the bait."
Yue Fei said: "How can they believe that they don't suffer so much. The final general has received the kindness of the Lord's military adviser, even though he is heartbroken, he has no regrets."
Li Ji looked Yue Fei up and down and said, "If Pengju is willing to do this bitter trick, he is a great surname in Youzhou, and the lord is lucky. He will play by ear and listen to my orders."
