Gao Yuan could hear that although the two of them still had some things to hide from themselves, they didn't look like they were going to pit themselves, so they didn't say anything, anyway, when they arrived in the Bailing clan, they should be able to see some famous names, so he said: "Okay, I don't know how the new Great Zhu Master is arranged now?" ”

Feng Hao's face was embarrassed at this time, and said: "They conveyed to me the order of the Great Zhu Division, Wu Anjun's army cannot enter our Bailing Clan's garrison Dazhai for the time being, because the village is not ready to meet it, so please Wu Anjun first find a place to camp outside the Dazhai, and then let us go back to the clan first, and report the itinerary to the Great Zhu Division, if Wu Anjun and A Yao are willing to join the clan, they can go in with us, but I discussed with Yun Jing that Wu Anjun and A Yao should first be stationed outside with the army, and wait for us to meet the Great Zhu Division, After reporting the itinerary, it is not too late to invite you into the village. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "That's okay, we have so many people and horses at once, it's really not good to entertain, so it's okay to camp outside the village, but we are not familiar with the terrain in this area, and please take us to find a suitable place to camp." ”

Feng Hao hurriedly said: "This is natural, and I know that there is a place that is not far from our Dazhai and suitable for camping, I will go and tell them first, and then I will take Wu Anjun there." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Fenghao Zhushi." ”

Later, Feng Hao sent someone to call the Bailing people who stayed more than fifty steps away, and asked them to meet Gao Yuan and Yun Yao, and Gao Yuan also called Yun Yao down from the car to meet with the Bai Ling people.

The leader of the Bailing tribe who led the army to come was called Feng Ping, dressed in leather armor, and he looked heroic, Feng Hao introduced Gao Yuan and Yun Yao to him, Feng Ping's attitude was very respectful, and he bowed to Gao Yuan and Yun Yao to say hello. And Gao Yuan and Yun Yao also returned the courtesy.

After being polite, Feng Hao said: "Wu Anjun decided, don't enter Dazhai first, camp outside the village, I want to take them to the place where they are stationed, and when these things are dealt with, they will return to the clan immediately, you go back and tell the Great Zhushi, ask him to wait for a while, and send some grain, grass, cattle and sheep out, we arrived here after almost two months of long-distance travel, let them recuperate." ”

Feng Ping said: "Yes, after I return to the clan, I will definitely report to the Great Zhushi truthfully." ”

Feng Hao nodded and said, "You go back first." ”

After Fengping led the men and horses to leave, Feng Hao led the way and led the people and horses of the plateau to a place, which was backed by a rolling mountain range, and a mountain stream flowed through one side of the mountain, and in front of the mountain was an open area, which was indeed a good place to camp camp. And here is only five or six miles away from the Bailing clan's big village, if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can see the Bailing clan's big village very clearly.

Gao Yuan was very satisfied with the place where he was stationed, and immediately ordered the soldiers to camp here, and thanked Feng Hao repeatedly, and then Feng Ping came with people again, and sent 200 stone grain and grass, 10 cows, 50 sheep and 100 jars of wine to Gao Yuan and others. Gao Yuan was polite, accepted all the grain and livestock, and gave Fengping two pieces of silk, a catty of salt and a bronze sword, and another ten silks, ten catties of salt and five bronze swords, and asked Fengping to transfer them to the Great Zhushi to show his respect for the Great Zhushi.

Because the plateau heard Feng Hao say that the living conditions of the Bailing tribe are similar to those of the Xiongnu, there is no shortage of cattle and sheep and livestock, but there is a lack of cloth, salt, metal weapons and other items, but the climate in the valley is better, so some grain is planted, so that it can be self-sufficient, and there can be some surplus grain that can be used to make wine, and sometimes there are some transactions with the grassland tribes, but they are basically bartering, and there is no concept of currency. So when the plateau set out from Daijun, he brought a lot of cloth, salt, and bronze weapons as gifts to the Bailing clan.

The camp of the Dai army is still made of vehicles, and then the tent is built, but because of the back of the mountain, it is enough to enclose three camp walls, and because this is not a temporary camp, all the vehicles are not only connected together, but also fixed on the ground, of course, it is more solid, and there are fewer beasts and white spirit people, and the space of the camp is much looser, which is also conducive to the dispatch of the army. At the same time, the main account of the Chinese army on the plateau was also set up.

Seeing that the Dai army had basically settled down, Feng Hao left ten men and ten men of the Bai Ling clan in the camp of the Dai Jun in order to help the Dai Jun live, and then led the other clansmen to say goodbye to Feng Ping and return to the Dazhai of the Bai Ling clan.

After Feng Hao and his party left, Gao Yuan immediately summoned Ling Feng, A Ran Shi Qimo, Zhong Sun Qi, Han Xiuwan, Wu Hongya, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and other major generals in the main tent of the Chinese army, and this time even Yun Yao also participated.

Gao Yuan first said: "I think the death of the Great Zhu Master of the Bai Ling Clan this time is a bit strange, and I don't know what the attitude of the new Great Zhu Master is towards us, although it cannot be said that the Bai Ling Clan is our enemy, but the heart of defense is indispensable, so after setting up camp, we must not be careless, we must strengthen the garrison, and there can be no relaxation." ”

The generals also hurried to receive the order.

Gao Yuan said again: "Ling Feng, in the past few days, you have to find out the terrain here, determine our retreat and the places where we can set up ambushes, and draw a detailed map, and you can ask the people of the Bailing Clan to help." In addition, try to inquire as much as possible about the situation of the Bailing clan. ”

Ling Feng hurriedly said: "Yes, please rest assured, I will definitely do a good job." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Ah Ran Shi Qimo, every day to send cavalry to look at the side of the camp, so that he must closely observe the movements of the Bailing clan's village, and he can't relax at night, but he must be careful of the Bailing clan's animal exorcism." ”

Ah Ran Shi begged and said: "I respect the order of the lord. ”

Gao Yuan nodded, and said: "Zhongsun Qi, starting tomorrow, you send soldiers to take turns to cut down trees, cut them into vertebral trees in the camp, and tie more horses and wooden fences, and build three wooden bridges over the mountain stream. ”

Zhongsun Qi said: "The last general will respect the order." After a pause, he said, "My lord, if you dig a trench outside the camp and stick the spine wood diagonally in the trench, the defense of the camp will be greatly increased." ”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't use it for the time being, this is tantamount to suing the White Spirit Clan, we are guarding against them, after all, now I only have some suspicions, and I can't be sure that the White Spirit Clan is our enemy." Maybe it's because I'm too careful, but it's okay to be careful, so go ahead and do it. ”

All three of them responded in unison, and then resigned to the plaintiff Gao and left the big tent.

Gao Yuan asked again: "Mrs. Jiang, if you don't count the grain and livestock sent by the Bai Ling Clan, how many days can we have the remaining food last?" ”

Han Xiuwan said: "It's probably enough for about ten days, are you worried that there is a problem with the food and livestock sent by the Bailing Clan?" I don't think the food that was sent was like a problem, and the cattle, sheep and livestock were all living creatures, and they were absolutely fine, but the wine was not easy to say. ”

Gao Yuan said: "It's always right to be careful, since the food we brought by ourselves is enough for ten days, then eat the food we brought ourselves in these days, and the grain and livestock sent by the Bailing Clan will be put for a few days first, and you can feed the animals with some food and wine they sent, and observe it." ”

Han Xiuwan nodded and said, "Okay, I will do what you want." ”

Gao Yuan said again: "Hong Aya, Chunyu girl, please assist Sister-in-law Jiang, it is at night, the two of you lead the female army, take turns to guard the safety of the big tent." ”

Wu Hongyan and Chunyu Zhong Xiuyi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After Han Xiuwan, Wu Hongyan, and Chun Yu Zhongxiu said goodbye and left, Yun Yao said, "Husband, do you think there is really a problem with the Bailing Clan?" ”

Gao Yuan nodded, his face was also a little solemn, and said: "There is indeed a problem, first, the death of the Great Zhu Master is too strange, too coincidental in time, although the age of the Great Zhu Master is indeed not young, but I think that a strange person like the Great Zhu Shi should have a more accurate estimate of his own life and death time, since he can set us a year of time, then we should be sure to live until we come to the White Spirit Clan." ”

Yun Yao said: "Although what you said makes sense, but birth, old age, sickness and death are unpredictable, so although the death of the Great Zhu Master is doubtful, it is not certain that there must be a problem here." ”

Gao Yuan said: "This is only the first suspicion, and there is also what Feng Hao and Yun Jing said to me, although some words are vague, but I have heard some useful information. ”

Yun Yao said: "What did the husband hear? ”

Gao Yuan said: "At that time, Yun Jing questioned the last words of the Great Zhushi, thinking that it was just Feng Yi's words, which was not enough to believe, but Feng Hao said a sentence, 'The Great Zhushi will not pass on the position to them', and Yun Jing's appearance also recognized this sentence, obviously indicating that the Great Zhushi mentioned to them the matter of choosing an heir, and in these few sentences, there is a big problem." ”

Yun Yao thought about it seriously, shook her head, and said, "I don't see anything wrong with these words. ”

Gao Yuan said: "The Great Zhushi of the Bailing Clan can only be selected among other Zhushi, and now there are only six Zhushi in the Bailing Clan, except for two young people, the Great Zhushi can only be selected among the four people Feng Hao, Yun Jing, Feng Yi, and Yun Qi, since Feng Hao and Yun Jing believe that the position of the Great Zhushi will not be passed on to them, then after the death of the Great Zhushi, only one of Feng Yi and Yun Qi may inherit the Great Zhushi, Feng Yi and Yun Qi are husband and wife, so no matter who they choose, it is not surprising, but if this is the case, Yun Jing shouldn't question the last words of the Great Zhu Master, don't you think it's weird? ”

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Yun Yao realized that it was really a little strange, so she nodded and said, "It's a little bit." ”

Gao Yuan said: "There is only one answer that can explain this doubt, that is, Feng Hao and Yun Jing know that the successor chosen by the Great Zhu Master is not any of the four of them, but someone else. ”

Yun Yao said: "Who is that?" Will it be one of the people in Fengyang and Fengyue? ”

Gao Yuan shook his head, looked at Yun Yao, and said, "According to my speculation, the heir chosen by the Great Zhu Master should be you." ”
