The common folk saw another convoy passing through their village and remarked that they did not know what kind of exercise it was.
No one knew what sort of troops had just passed by, but after getting to the central town, they discovered that the previous convoy had not entered it, which aroused suspicion.

Jun Ye sat in the front cabin to discuss with Elder Yao whether they should contact headquarters to ask if it was a brother unit.
Without a second thought, Jun Ye said, "Since there was no prior notice, they must be on separate tracks; don't bother with it."
Indeed, each unit had its own training and tasks. Unless coordinated by higher-ups, they shouldn't interfere with each other. Elder Yao's concern was actually to probe whether it was Sun Jingren coming to sabotage them.
