The quarrel between the general and the Gunma Pass guard was not loud at first, at least not enough to alert the patrol.

However, as the dispute became more and more serious, the entire military camp was gradually enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.

The already bitterly cold winter has become even more indifferent because of bad rumors.

Seeing that few people came to visit him to report the situation for several days in a row, Yu Wenxuan felt strange, so he sent his subordinate Zhu Dian to the camp to find out what was going on.

Zhu Dian was born tall, and his stature was far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers. He probably looked like a god of war like the legendary "Overlord of Chu" Xiang Yu, and he was particularly conspicuous when walking in the camp. Therefore, the soldiers and officers stayed away from him, fearing that the military plane would be leaked from their mouths.

Fortunately, Zhu Tian has a pair of ears that can catch the smallest sounds out of thin air. He found an open space to rest, sitting in meditation like a monk and escaping into emptiness.

Having said that, when viewed from the back, this huge bald middle-aged man does look like a monk. However, for true Zen Buddhism, zazen itself is practice and the goal, and Zhu Dian's zazen is just a disguise.

"Have you heard? The general and General Yang had a quarrel, and they couldn't reach an agreement for two days."

"Really, I just said that the general is not someone to be trifled with. Anyone who offends him must not be scolded?"

"General Yang is still drinking and complaining in the tent, it's better not to provoke him..."

He heard it clearly, and then he knelt down and worshiped heaven and earth in a serious manner, clasped his hands together, and muttered something.

"Arch Mage" Zhu Dian approached Yang Jun openly and slowly, and based on the fragmentary information he heard, he pieced together the specific location of the camp. As expected, he discovered that someone was drinking and causing trouble in the camp.

"You...all of you look down on me, right?!"

"What's wrong with not being on the front line? I've been guarding gates all my life! Don't my words have any weight?"

"The Bai Feng couple must have defected! Seeing the disparity in strength, their fighting spirit dropped sharply, so they fled overnight."

Zhu Dian's little eyes suddenly widened, and he felt guilty, so he turned around and left. Unexpectedly, a young boy had already spotted him, a great monk who behaved strangely, and immediately stopped him and said, "Isn't this the subordinate of Young Master Zhou Guo Yuwen? What does a great monk do?”

"Uh..." Zhu Dian responded silently.

At this time, Yang Jun suddenly ran out of the camp dragging a big knife, swung the knife with the strength of wine and asked: "Are you a traitor, eh?!"

"The villain Zhu Dian came here to inquire about the current situation on the orders of Master Yuwen." Zhu Dian bowed his hands and said in respect: "What is a traitor? I don't know."

Yang Jun continued: "I acted recklessly because I was close to General Gao. Today I am going to eradicate a scourge for Daqi. Bai Feng, suffer death!"

Zhu Dian got ready to receive the attack, dodged the tip of the knife and hit the opponent's chin hard with his fist, knocking Yang Jun unconscious on the spot.

"General Yang is drunk. Please take care of him. I'll take my leave first." After saying this, the servants around him went up to take Yang Jun back to the camp and take care of him. They did not punish Zhu Dian at all for his crimes.

Zhu Dian wrote down what he saw and heard, as well as all the strange things, and told Yu Wenxuan everything when he went back.

Yu Wenxuan thought that Yang Jun's drunkenness was no accident. If what he said was true, it meant that Bai Feng and Murong Yan had already left Qunma Pass. What if the opposite happened?

"What do you mean, Master?" Zhu Dian asked.

"I mean, if Bai Feng and Murong Yan didn't leave at all, what Yang Jun received was false information." Yu Wenxuan said: "His reaction based on the false information just catered to the plan of the schemer. So can we think that the schemer deliberately let everyone know this 'fake news'?" Zhu Di said: "A general's escape before battle is a major event that can disturb the morale of the army. It can also be seen from the cold atmosphere in the camp that the morale of the military is indeed low. Many villains thought that this might not be fake news, and that they really left."

"Leave? Will Bai Feng really leave?" Yu Wenxuan asked: "Dadian, I think Bai Feng will never do this."

——Left, but did not give up on Gao Jiajun.

Yu Wenxuan murmured: "Based on the current situation, this situation is the most likely."

"Master, do you think there is anything that can drive Bai Feng and Murong Yan to leave the army?" Zhu Dian asked.

Yu Wenxuan pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "This is a clear plan."

"A clear plan?" Zhu Dian said, "The villain is stupid and can't understand its meaning."

Yu Wenxuan said: "You, a Zhou man, beat up the commander of the Qi army in the Qi people's territory, and you came back unscathed? It seems that they clearly wanted us to know about it, but they refused to say it openly. …”

"Young master, you mean that they let the villain go on purpose? Is Bai Feng trying to test us?" Zhu Dian suddenly said: "In the end, the allies still don't trust each other."

Yu Wenxuan said: "Although I don't know why Bai Feng and Murong Yan left, but since it is a test for us, how about we use their tricks, Dada?"

"How do you say this?" Zhu Dian asked.

Yu Wenxuan stood up and started packing his luggage, and then said: "The disadvantages of hasty alliance are far more than the distrust at hand. Bai Feng and I have the same goal, why not try to trust him for once?"

"Ah?" Zhu Dian said, "Master, could it be..."

Yu Wenxuan said: "I believe he has a clever plan to reverse the situation, and the two of us will follow his footsteps and help - this is my answer."

"Will Gao Jiajun let us go?" Zhu Dian did not dare to say what kind of chaos would happen if the prince of Qi State "escaped before the battle".

After Yu Wenxuan heard this, he immediately wrote a handwritten letter and left it on the case.

"If you believe me, Gao Gao and Yang Jun will understand." Yu Wenxuan said with emotion: "The actions of Bai Feng and Murong Yan are always beyond everyone's expectations, which is really incredible."

Zhu Dian was stunned for no reason, but Yu Wenxuan yelled: "What, are you starting to feel sleepy from the endless journey?"

"I just suddenly recalled how the young master was when he was a child. You still had the same temperament, and you would never let go when you set your sights on the target." Zhu Dian smiled kindly.

The two secretly packed their luggage and stored it on the horses, taking advantage of the night to turn into travelers and stroll through the road.

A few days later, the Gao Jiajun went out to train again. Everything was as usual, and the cycle continued. The new Qi people gradually got used to the Gao Jiajun's military discipline and military regulations. Originally, they did not have to participate in the joint training, and they were just supplementary troops. It is said that they were the princes of the Qi Kingdom. The letters left behind contributed to this army reorganization, making the Zhou and Qi coalition forces formally unified under Gao Gao's command.

As the wind became stronger, the falling snow became more rapid. The thick snow on the ground made it difficult for the horses to move. It seemed that it was common to go without seeing the sky for several days, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

Travelers, meet again at the end.
