"I originally thought that Bao Yuan, that mongrel, had fled, so I led the troops in pursuit, vowing to capture him. But I never expected that bastard to be lurking in Yang City; he almost ruined everything."
"Had it not been for you, I might have been directly relieved of my command as Main General by now."
"Because of me, those ten thousand soldiers of the Logistics Army suffered."
Thinking back on these recent events, Li Teng felt somewhat helpless, but what weighed on him even more was his self-reproach.
Zhao Feng did not say anything to comfort him. This matter was indeed Li Teng's responsibility. His blind eagerness for merit and failure to station troops to defend Yang City had given Bao Yuan an opportunity to exploit. If only Li Teng had left more than ten thousand Sharp Warriors to defend Yang City, Bao Yuan wouldn't have been able to cause such a stir, and the Logistics Army wouldn't have suffered so many casualties.
