The wheel hubs crushed dead branches, and the full load of baggage was properly protected on the wooden cart. Hundreds of civilians who were temporarily recruited sat on the front of the cart to drive the cattle and horses. They shouted different local accents and followed the mighty Gao family army.
Go to the front line behind you.
The five thousand elite cavalrymen in the Gao family army are all from military families. Everyone has been in the army for generations. Many of the non-commissioned officers are minor nobles with titles and military merits. When it comes to fighting, they all have senior qualifications.
Such a gathering of warriors was impressive, but there were still some discordant voices during the march. At first, it was just gossip among a few soldiers.
——But those two coffins are really eye-catching.
Among the marching team, there was an exquisite carriage mixed inexplicably. Behind this carriage, there were boys transporting two coffins.
"I have never heard of a nobleman accompanying the army to supervise the battle before? Who is in such an expensive carriage?"
"I saw it! I saw it! There was a young girl sitting inside!"
"General Bai Feng has visited several times to greet her. Could it be his wife?"
——Two coffins and a couple.
This is the strategy used by Bai Feng to persuade Gao Gao and Gao Xijun. The implication is: If we cannot win this battle, we will never go back alive.
Legend has it that there were people in the court who blocked Bai Feng from committing suicide to express his ambition. Among them, Sima Tu reacted the most, but with Gao Huan's mediation, Sima Tu withdrew his pursuers.
As an envoy from a neighboring country, Yu Wenxuan took the initiative to accept the order and accompany the army. He did not know much about the trivial matters of the Qi court, but he understood what Bai Feng and Gao Huan did.
After all, Sima Tu accused Bai Fenghui of treason in public. If Bai Feng did not die to prove his will, I am afraid that even a foothold in the Gao family army would be a luxury. In the end, he would become a "traitor" instead of a "traitor"...
"So, the former knight brought his wife to the front line to fight together. If he wanted to win as 'General Bai Feng', he could only do this, and Gao Huan's permission was also expected. This is the next time I commit suicide.
When the ministers see the opportunity to prove their innocence, they will feel that the king is kind and loyal to him - but why did Sima Tu, the Grand Master of Qi, stop him?"
——It’s hard to tell, and the details are unknown.
Yu Wenxuan drove the gray-white mare under him, and while looking at Bai Feng in front of him, he thought: "Huh, what an interesting person."
Not long after, Yu Wenxuan caught up with Bai Feng and asked in a friendly manner: "General Bai Feng, long time no see!" He deliberately chose a time when military affairs were free to come over, just to see what Bai Feng thought.
--ah.
Bai Feng responded.
"Ah?!" Yu Wenxuan asked in a serious tone: "General...don't you have anything you want to ask me? For example, why should I accompany the army?"
Bai Feng glanced at Yu Wenxuan, then calmly looked ahead, and said: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the two countries have put aside their old grudges, formed an alliance and made good friends, and the two armies have joined forces. As your country's envoy, Master Yuwen is naturally
It’s safer to go with the army. Any smart person would choose this, right?”
"Since you have no doubts about me, please allow me to boldly ask the general something." Yu Wenxuan said: "General Bai Feng brought his married wife to the battlefield, and even brought a coffin. The general is really righteous!
When Yu Wenxuan heard about it, even the national advisor Sima Tu tried to persuade him, and he told the general to calm down and not listen to that momentary joke."
"High righteousness?" Bai Feng pointed at Sang and scolded Huaihe in a self-deprecating tone, and said, "How come you can talk about high righteousness? I'm just like you, selfish and unscrupulous - I just want to survive."
Yuwenxuan was choked and thought for a long time without knowing how to answer.
"What, Mr. Yuwen is not trying to say that he came here for Da Zhou?" Bai Feng saw that the other party was showing weakness and continued to argue without hesitation.
Yu Wenxuan coughed a few times in embarrassment, as if he deliberately made his words difficult to hear: "Didn't General Bai Feng go to fight for Da Qi?"
"I understand what Mr. Yuwen is thinking. Bai Feng has not been aboveboard in his life, but he wants to be honest. I am willing to tell anyone these words, including Mr. Yuwen." Bai Feng deliberately raised his voice and looked at the marching troops.
Dear colleagues: "Da Qi and the imperial court are nothing to me. My motherland and hometown have long been crushed into dust. I went out to fight to avoid seeing people in ruins again; I am willing to march with a coffin to warn everyone.
Jun, although Bai Feng was born as the son of General Gao Zuo, he is by no means such a rebellious person! As long as the Longming Sword is in my hands, I will do my best to bring victory to the Gao family army, otherwise, it will be death.
.”
Yu Wenxuan was dumbfounded, and so were the soldiers of the Gao Family Army around him.
"As you can see, what I did was not 'highly righteous'." Bai Feng smiled mischievously: "This kind of false reputation should be reserved for the dead."
Yu Wenxuan understood the other party's teasing, but could not come up with a retort. He just cursed bitterly: "General Bai Feng, you are really unforgiving with your words..."
After a moment, a young boy came on horseback from behind the procession and whispered to Bai Feng for a moment. Bai Feng then rode up to the exquisite carriage, and a soft silhouette peeked out of the carriage window.
Bai Feng heard something from the silhouette and immediately rode back to the front of the procession. Yu Wenxuan felt curious and followed him.
Who would have thought that Bai Feng actually went directly to the general to report the military situation to Gao Gao, only to find out that there was a small group of unknown forces wandering ahead, about a few hundred people, without flags, and all of them were from Beizhen.
"They are a scout team that came to spy on the military situation." Bai Feng said.
After hearing this, Gao Gao had no choice but to order the entire army to stop advancing.
Bai Feng then suggested: "Now that the morale of the army is not stable, it is not appropriate to expose the alliance's alliance to the enemy prematurely. General Gao, I think that we should build a bridge across the Wei River from the nearest place and march secretly through the trails instead of the main road.
Go to the north of the Weishui River to join the Allied forces. The Weishui River is not in flood season now, and it will not be a problem to build a bridge to cross the river in half a day."
The two generals made several gestures around the map and quickly reached an agreement.
"It makes sense!" Gao Gao ordered the whole army to change their route to cross the river, and then secretly said something more when Bai Feng was about to mount his horse and march: "Feng'er, in the future, stop talking about what you have and what you don't have in front of the sergeants. You don't have to have any grudges with the imperial court.
Bring it here, be careful of getting caught."
Bai Feng spoke righteously: "I didn't betray anyone, that's what I want to say."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
"Oh, General Bai Feng is young and frivolous, so he needs to be beaten." Yu Wenxuan stood beside him and made sarcastic remarks.
Gao Gao replied: "Humph, I have never doubted General Bai Feng's determination to help save the world, but you Zhou people have taught me too many conspiracies and tricks."
"I don't dare take it!" Yu Wenxuan raised his hands and said in respect: "Yu Wenxuan is just a lobbyist."
Who can tell the right and wrong?
In any case, after Bai Feng received the inexplicable military information, the Gao family's army changed its march. As he expected, at noon on the third day, the Gao family's army had arrived at the west side of the Wei River. Under the cover of the dense forest on the path, it was completely hidden from the enemy.
