A few days later, Yun Zheng came to Badong Town secretly.
This time, Yun Zheng did not set off with a big fanfare. All of their people disguised themselves as members of a caravan and quietly came to the garrison camp in Badong Town.
"Has there been any new news from the other side in the past few days?"
When they arrived at the camp, Yun Zheng called Li Xiu into the tent to question him.
"No!"
Li Xiu shook his head and said, "I have been secretly paying attention to the actions of the army in Lulin Camp these days. They are still the same as before, with no abnormalities."
Is there anything unusual?
Is Zhou Daogong waiting for me to give him an answer?
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and asked again: "Can you contact Zhou Daogong secretly?"
"Can!"
...
...
Li Xiu replied: "There is a small pond five or six miles northwest of Lulin Camp..."
There is a big tree next to the small pond. If you climb up the tree, you will find a tree hole. That is where Li Xiu and Zhou Daogong secretly stored the letters.
Zhou Daogong is still relatively cautious.
He knew that if his secret contact with Yun Zheng was known, he would definitely end up in trouble.
Therefore, Zhou Daogong secretly sent someone to contact Li Xiu a few days ago. The two sides met secretly at the pond and determined the location to secretly store the letters.
In this way, if anything happens in the future, they won't have to send people to contact secretly all the time, thus further reducing the possibility of Zhou Daogong being discovered by the spies arranged by Yun Li.
"That's easy!"
Yun Zheng showed a smile on his face and started to make arrangements immediately.
…
Three days later, the fourth prince Yun Ting, who was the military supervisor, was invited to inspect the Lulin camp.
When Yun Ting arrived, Zhou Daogong had already led his men to line up at the gate of the military camp to welcome him.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Fourth Prince!"
When he saw Yun Ting, Zhou Daogong immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Fourth Prince!"
The soldiers at the door also followed suit and saluted.
"No need to be polite!"
Yun Ting glanced at Zhou Daogong calmly and said, "General Zhou, I see that the soldiers in your Lulin camp are in good order. It doesn't seem to have any impact whether I inspect them or not!"
Yun Ting didn't want to come and inspect.
He felt that Zhou Daogong had ulterior motives in inviting him to inspect the Lulin camp.
Maybe the third brother has already set a trap for him, waiting for him to fall into it!
"Your Highness, this is wrong."
Zhou Daogong shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince should also know that the last time Your Highness the Sixth Prince led his men to force their way into the Lulin camp, it had a significant impact on the morale of our troops! I also hope that Your Highness the Fourth Prince will inspect our troops and help boost their morale!"
"Really?"
Yun Ting glanced at Zhou Daogong and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it after we enter the camp!"
Although Zhou Daogong's reason is reasonable.
But Yun Ting still had a strong premonition that Zhou Daogong's actions were probably not well-intentioned.
You must be extra careful!
Don't fall into Zhou Daogong's trap!
"Your Highness, please!"
Zhou Daogong raised his hand and invited Yun Ting to enter the camp.
Yun Ting had a sullen face and walked into the military camp without saying a word.
After entering the camp, Zhou Daogong smiled again and said, "I have already arranged a banquet to welcome the Fourth Prince. Please, Fourth Prince..."
"Don't worry yet!"
Yun Ting raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Daogong: "Accompany me around the camp first!"
“Ah… this…”
Zhou Daogong opened his mouth slightly and said tentatively: "The wine and food are ready, Your Highness may as well..."
"Your Highness is here to inspect the Lulin Camp, not to drink and eat meat!" Yun Ting interrupted Zhou Daogong again, "Which is more important, drinking and eating meat, or is business more important?"
Zhou Daogong was speechless.
"It is my fault for not thinking it through."
Zhou Daogong smiled apologetically, "Then please take a rest, Your Highness. I will order the drums to be beaten immediately!"
"Need not!"
Yun Ting raised his hand to stop him, "Take me to the camp to have a look first, and then we can see the soldiers' training later!"
Yun Ting’s idea is very simple.
Zhou Daogong wanted to trick him, so he first picked some problems for Zhou Daogong!
At that time, Zhou Daogong will have to think carefully before doing anything else!
Even if Zhou Daogong caused trouble, he could say that Zhou Daogong was deliberately seeking revenge!
"yes!"
Seeing Yun Ting was so persistent, Zhou Daogong said no more and immediately took Yun Ting to visit and inspect the camp.
Yun Ting rode on a horse and followed Zhou Daogong around the camp.
As they were turning around, Yun Ting suddenly reined in his horse, pointed at the granary in the camp, and asked knowingly, "Is that where the military rations are stored?"
"yes!"
Zhou Daogong smiled.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Yun Ting turned his horse around and walked straight towards a tent where military supplies were stored.
Along the way, he couldn't find anything to fault with.
There may be some flaws in the military rations.
Soon, Yun Ting entered the tent and asked Zhou Daogong, who was accompanying him, "How many days' worth of food and grass are left in the camp?"
"There is still enough food and grass for one and a half months." Zhou Daogong answered honestly.
"How much daily rations do the soldiers in the camp get?" Yun Ting asked again.
Zhou Daogong immediately reported truthfully: "Each person is given two liters of food every day. If it is wartime, three to four liters of food will be distributed according to the situation of each unit. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, some meat will be added, but not much..."
"Really?"
Yun Ting looked around and ordered someone to open a bag of grain for him to see.
This grain bag is filled with corn.
Yun Ting grabbed a handful of corn and held it in his hand, trying to find any signs of mold on the corn, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any moldy corn after searching for a long time.
Yun Ting was unwilling to give up, and immediately ordered his men to check the army's rations.
If he finds evidence that Zhou Daogong is reselling military rations, he will order people to arrest Zhou Daogong first!
See how this bastard is going to trick me!
Zhou Daogong did not stop him and allowed Yun Ting to send people to check the military rations.
This investigation took more than an hour.
After a thorough check, it was found that the stored grain matched the account book completely.
Yun Ting's plan failed again, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This bastard is well prepared!
He just didn't believe it. He couldn't find any fault with such a big military camp!
Afterwards, Yun Ting followed Zhou Daogong to inspect other places in the camp.
Just when Yun Ting was concentrating on finding fault, a soldier suddenly ran over in a hurry, and after a simple salute to Yun Ting, he whispered in Zhou Daogong's ear.
Zhou Daogong's face changed and he immediately waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat.
"stop!"
Yun Ting stopped the soldiers who were about to retreat and asked sternly, "What happened? Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"
The soldiers looked embarrassed and cast inquiring looks at Zhou Daogong.
"Don't look at him!"
Yun Ting looked at the soldiers coldly, "As the military supervisor, is there anything you want to hide from me?"
"Fourth Prince..."
Zhou Daogong spoke.
"Shut up!"
Yun Ting stopped Zhou Daogong in a stern voice, and said with a bad face: "It seems that what this military supervisor said is completely useless! General Zhou, are you going to take control of your own army?"
"I dare not!"
Zhou Daogong was terrified and bowed quickly: "Your Highness, I just received news that the troops in Fuzhou have moved unusually, and the purpose is unknown!"
