Lu Di led his troops back to Maple Leaf Danlin to rescue him. As a result, both he and Caton were scolded by the God Emperor, who thought that they could not even see through such a trick as inducing a tiger to leave the mountain. At this time, Karan came in and claimed that he had guessed Si Yilin. He will use the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, so he has sent the Yulin General Yun Qianxue to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Si Yilin, and will definitely beat him to death. The God Emperor also criticized him, saying that if Si Yilin's action is Really, he ignored his own safety and was accused of being unfaithful and unfilial.
The God Emperor also did this to calm down the overt and covert fight between the two brothers. He asked the generals to gather troops to station here to see what Si Yilin wanted to do. On the other side, the news came that Si Yilin issued a letter of war to the Northern God Emperor and led his troops to capture Maple Leaf Danlin. Everyone was extremely surprised. They didn’t know what kind of medicine was sold in Si Yilin’s gourd. Li Qing stood up for Si Yilin argued that his move must have deep meaning and would not push Zichuan's elite into the fire pit. Zichuan Shenxing immediately woke up. Si Yilin just wanted to use the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to buy more time for Zichuan's defense. .
Zichuan Ning recently studied government affairs with Zichuan Shenxing. Zichuan Shenxing asked her to express her opinion on this matter. Zichuan Ning said that what is important now is not General Si Yilin's affairs. The crisis is inside and outside. She must first appease those who are affected by the news. caused chaos, and at the same time prepared military pay for emergencies. Zichuanning's proposal was recognized by Zichuan Shenxing and Luo Minghai. At this time, Counselor Ma Wei came to see him. On behalf of the three provinces and Taiwan, he suggested that Zichuan should not only guard against the Bei tribe. In addition, we should also guard against other tribes, strengthen cooperation with the Lin family, purchase grain and grass from them, and strengthen the defense against Wayun. Zichuan Shenxing praised Ma Wei and wanted Zichuan Ning to have more contact with Ma Wei, which was a great match-maker. However, Zichuan Ning was not interested in him and only cared about Zichuan Xiu's safety. She asked Ma Wei to help her find out about Zichuan. News from Xiu and Si Yilin.
Si Yilin and Zi Chuanxiu cooperated tacitly, built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, and led the imperial garrison to seize Payi. The defenders of the Bei tribe lost their lives while still drinking and carousing. Zi Chuanxiu wanted his men to go to Wayun and join Si Yilin himself. Because it was dangerous to go there, he didn't want these soldiers who had never been on the battlefield to die with him. His men had long seen his intention, and the soldiers were willing Accompany him in the battle, and would rather die in battle than cower.
Yun Qianxue surrounded Payi. He did not plan to attack by force. He only cut off the water source of Payi. When the food and grass in the city were exhausted, he had no choice but to surrender. Zi Chuanxiu saw Yun Qianxue's plan. He led people pretending to be Bei tribe soldiers to attack Yun Qianxue's camp at night. He even single-handedly pretended to be Bei tribe soldiers to send a message to Yun Qianxue and wanted to assassinate him, but Yun Qianxue found out. , the two fought, Zi Chuanxiu's skill was even better, and finally cut off one of his arms. Due to the large number of opponents, he had to escape quickly.
The soldiers of Payi found a group of Bei tribe soldiers walking over at the city gate, holding white flags and slogans. Si Yilin used a telescope to check and confirmed that it was Zi Chuanxiu who had arrived, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. After the God-Emperor learned the news, he immediately sent troops to besiege Payi. After Caton and Lu Di arrived, they pretended to come to express condolences, but in fact they laughed because Yun Qianxue belonged to the Karan camp and they wished Yun Qianxue died in the battle.
Zichuanxiu used his will to educate and guide the soldiers of Xiuziying to give up the idea of surrender. In fact, he was also prepared to die, and together with Si Yilin, he guarded the line of defense of Payi for Zichuan. On the other side, Di Lin, who was defending Wayun, used an iron-fist policy to punish the soldiers who disobeyed management. Everyone was frightened and agreed to build fortifications immediately.
