Lu Di led his troops back to Maple Leaf Dan Lin to rescue the Divine Emperor. As a result, both he and Ka Dun were severely scolded by the Divine Emperor, who thought they couldn't even see through a simple strategy like 'Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao'.

At this moment, Ka Lan walked in and claimed he had guessed Si Te Lin would use the 'Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao' stratagem, and thus had already dispatched Imperial Guard General Yun Qianxue to secretly investigate Si Te Lin's whereabouts, and he would definitely defeat him soundly.

The Divine Emperor also criticized him, saying that if Si Te Lin's actions were genuine, then he (Ka Lan) would have disregarded the Divine Emperor's safety and earned the charge of disloyalty and unfilial conduct. The Divine Emperor did this partly to quell the open and secret struggles between the two brothers. He ordered his generals to gather their armies and station them here, to see what Si Te Lin was really up to.

On the other side, news came that Si Te Lin had sent a declaration of war to the North Clan Divine Emperor and was leading his troops directly towards Maple Leaf Dan Lin. Everyone was extremely surprised, not knowing what Si Te Lin's intentions were. Li Qing defended Si Te Lin, believing his action must have a deeper meaning and he would not push Zichuan's elite into a fire pit.

Zichuan Canxing immediately realized that Si Te Lin wanted to use the 'Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao' strategy to buy more time for Zichuan's defense. Zichuan Ning had recently been studying state affairs with Zichuan Canxing. Zichuan Canxing asked her to express her opinion on this matter. Zichuan Ning said that what was important now was not General Si Te Lin's affair; the crisis was internal, not external.

They should first quell the confusion caused by this news, and at the same time prepare military provisions for future needs. Zichuan Ning's proposal was approved by Zichuan Canxing and Luo Minghai. At this moment, Advisor Ma Wei came for an audience.

Representing the Three Provinces Platform, he suggested that besides guarding against the North Clan, Zichuan should also guard against other tribes, strengthen cooperation with the Lin family, purchase grain and fodder from them, and also strengthen the defense of Wa Yun. Zichuan Canxing praised Ma Wei and intentionally arranged for Zichuan Ning to have more contact with him, with the clear intention of matchmaking.

However, Zichuan Ning was not interested in him; her heart was only concerned with Zichuan Xiu's safety. She asked Ma Wei to help her inquire about news of Zichuan Xiu and Si Te Lin. Si Te Lin and Zichuan Xiu cooperated seamlessly, using the strategy of "Repairing the plank road by day, crossing the Chencang pass by night". They led the Imperial Guard Army to seize Pa Yi.

The North Clan garrison there lost their lives while still celebrating and drinking. Zichuan Xiu wanted to send his subordinates to Wa Yun and go himself to rendezvous with Si Te Lin. Because the journey was dangerous, he didn't want these soldiers who hadn't experienced battle to follow him to their deaths. His subordinates had long seen his intention, and the soldiers were all willing to fight alongside him, preferring to die in battle rather than be cowards.

Yun Qianxue surrounded Pa Yi. He was not prepared for a direct assault; he merely cut off Pa Yi's water supply. Once the grain and fodder inside the city were exhausted, surrender would be their only option. Zichuan Xiu saw through Yun Qianxue's plan. He led men disguised as North Clan soldiers in a night raid on Yun Qianxue's main camp.

He even went alone, impersonating a North Clan soldier, to deliver a message to Yun Qianxue, intending to assassinate him. However, Yun Qianxue saw through the deception, and the two began to fight. Zichuan Xiu's skill was superior, and he ultimately cut off one of Yun Qianxue's arms. Due to the large number of enemy troops, he had to quickly escape.

The officers and soldiers of Pa Yi discovered a troop of North Clan soldiers swaggering towards the city gate, holding a white flag and banners. Si Te Lin looked through his telescope and confirmed it was Zichuan Xiu arriving. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. After the Divine Emperor learned this news, he immediately dispatched troops to surround Pa Yi.

After Ka Dun and Lu Di arrived, they pretended to visit and offer condolences, but in reality, they were mocking them relentlessly. Because Yun Qianxue belonged to Ka Lan's faction, they dearly wished Yun Qianxue would die in battle. Zichuan Xiu used the method of writing a will to educate and guide the soldiers of the Xiu Camp, dispelling their thoughts of surrender.

In reality, he was also prepared to die, joining Si Te Lin to defend the defense line of Pa Yi for Zichuan. On the other side, Di Lin, defending Wa Yun, used an iron-fisted policy to punish officers and soldiers who did not follow orders. Everyone was terrified and agreed to immediately construct fortifications. Di Lin demanded it must be completed within seven days, or he would enforce military law.
