"As expected."
Hearing Ling Fang's words, Li Xin thought.
Combined with the previous probing from Ling Fang and his own probing, Lu Pojun had specially come to find him and said that Ling Fang wanted to be transferred to his army.
Li Xin was suspicious.
If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Fang had cooperated with him in the battle against the Barbarian Wolves and obviously wanted to help him, he would have been seriously injured.
He would not give Ling Fang a chance to explain himself. Instead, he would directly transfer Ling Fang into the army. When he went to North Wind City, wouldn't he, the general, have the final say in killing Ling Fang?
In a place like North Wind City, it was normal for a lieutenant to die.
Didn't he see that all the 3,000 soldiers in North Wind City, from the commandant down, had died?
"Are there any Xiuyi soldiers in this general?”Seeing Ling Fang confess, Li Xin continued to ask.
"There are only a dozen or so people hiding in the shadows under my command, but there are no people in the general's army or the imperial army. As for the rest, I don't know.”
"The rest…"
Hearing the hidden meaning in Ling Fang's words, Li Xin's eyes narrowed.
He understood what Ling Fang meant.
Although the military intelligence was mainly handled by the Xiuyi Guards. However, the soldiers selected this time had all been inspected by the Eye of Truth.
The Armory Division, the Demon Subduing Division, and even more secret agents were few and far between.
At least the hundred generals and lieutenants in the army had loyalty points above seventy.
They couldn't be spies.
Even if there were, they could be among the ordinary soldiers, and the level of the spies was not high.
Thinking of this, Li Xin's heart calmed down.
He looked at Ling Fang again. His loyalty did not decrease. On the contrary, it actually increased by two points to 62.
After thinking for a while, Li Xin flipped his palm and a pill appeared.
"Take it and I will believe you. Or, you can choose to leave and return to the Whole Wind Guard.”
Liu Bao stepped forward, took the pill, and stood in front of Ling Fang.
Looking at the pill in Liu Bao's palm, Ling Fang fell silent. Two breaths later, he reached out and took the pill and swallowed it.
After three breaths, Li Xin looked again. Ling Fang's Loyalty had already reached 80 points. After a period of digestion, it would slowly increase and break through the 90 mark.
"This pill has many benefits for you. However, I believe you know how to report it later.”
At this moment, Ling Fang's expression had already changed. He bowed and said,"Thank you for your kindness, General.”
"Alright, you can leave now. The position of lieutenant of the Northern Wind Army's 1st Battalion is still yours. The deputy commanders are my former station commanders, the current Hundred Generals Yang Feng and Hua Ling.”
"Yes, I will follow your orders."
Then, Ling Fang retreated.
Li Xin waved his hand, and his bodyguards also left, leaving only Liu Hu and Liu Bao.
"Pass down the order to prepare. Tomorrow at midnight, we'll cook and break camp at five. We'll head to North Wind City. Send more scouts to scout the front of the army.”
"Here!"
……
On the second day, the Northern Wind Army broke camp.
Six thousand cavalrymen, four thousand infantry, and the 1st Battalion of the Night Army made up a total of ten thousand soldiers. They also had over ten thousand civilians from all over Youzhou, as well as various supplies and provisions. They marched north in a mighty manner.
They set off before dawn, but because of the burden of the commoners, the army only arrived at North Wind City at the beginning of the second day.
After that, Li Xin arranged for the city guards, and the civilian workers rested for a night. The next day, they began to dig stones to build the city and re-consolidate the city defense of North Wind City.
After the previous battle, the city walls and gates of the North Wind City had been destroyed by the Barbarian Wolf Army.
Now that they were going to station troops again, they naturally couldn't just simply station troops. All kinds of city defenses had to be rebuilt. These laborers and the craftsmen who came with them were here to do this.
The former Rearguard Commandery and the current General Manor.
Li Xin gathered his trusted soldiers, as well as Xiong Pi and other loyal generals, and taught them the foundation establishment technique of the Dragon Elephant Force.
At the same time, Li Xin even gave him the high-grade mystic cultivation method for free.
He also told everyone that if they made a great contribution, the Earth Rank cultivation method would be in his hands and he would reward them generously!
These words caused everyone's loyalty to rise again. All of them had reached more than 80, and more than half of them had even broken through the 90 mark.
Especially the 300 bodyguards.
Most of these personal guards were ordinary soldiers with good potential, and the highest ranking was only a station commander.
How could they have seen such a high-grade cultivation technique? In fact, the vast majority had never even heard of it.
Only Luo Tong, Wang He, Ling Fang, and a few others had heard of it.
Therefore, in just a moment, the 300 personal guards had all become loyal guards at the level of death warriors. The other generals and officials above the 100 generals were also loyal.
After teaching, he let the generals return to their headquarters and Li Xin also began to train his personal guards.
Compared to the troops under his command, other than the troops from his main force, it would take time to teach the Dragon Elephant Force to the rest of the troops.
However, the Reckless Bull Fist, a Yellow Rank High Grade Foundation Establishment Technique, was passed down by Li Xin.
This was a grade higher than the Fierce Tiger Fist that was commonly used in the military.
When the generals announced that the general had given them a lot of rewards and imparted them with a Golden Level Upper Foundation Establishment Technique, the loyalty of these ordinary soldiers, who were almost at the entry level of martial arts, rose gradually.
Five days later, in the city's drill ground.
Li Xin inspected the training of the army and personally practiced Reckless Bull Fist as a teacher.
After that, he walked through the ranks and took note of the loyalty of each soldier.
……
Divine Capital, Marquis Wuyang's Residence.
In the secret room, Jiang Ju sat at the head of the table while a masked man in black knelt below him.
"How is it?"
"Reporting to Division Head, the people arranged by my division were not selected by First Class Li Xin to enter the camp.”
"Hmm?" "You've been exposed?" Jiang Ju's face sank.”
"My lord, the hidden post has not been exposed.”When the black clothed person heard Jiang Ju's question, his body trembled and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, continuing,
"The generals and generals of the various armies didn't have a good attitude towards General Li's selection of soldiers. Li Xin also didn't choose any generals above 100 generals, choosing ordinary soldiers instead.”
"This subordinate is incompetent. The hidden forces of the Armory Division all have cultivation. Other than a few, none of them are below the rank of a hundred generals.”
“…….”Marquis Wuyang's expression softened slightly as he nodded.""Understood. Since this step is temporarily not feasible, then send someone to North Wind City.”
"Aren't there some taverns over there? Send the hidden equipment over."
"Also, let some people pretend to be merchants and travel between North Wind City and Youzhou to facilitate the transmission of information.”
"Yes, this subordinate will obey your orders."
"Go ahead."
"This subordinate will take his leave!"
After the black-robed man left, Marquis Wuyang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. It was already cold.
Without waiting for him to call out, a guard wearing a black warrior robe and a gauze hat came in with a tray of fresh tea in his hands.
After taking a sip of the tea and putting down the green jade teacup, the attendant carefully bowed and left with the cold teacup.
