Murong Chui used his outstanding military command skills to push Xiyan to the brink of annihilation in one fell swoop.

In order to redeem the defeat, Murong Yong could no longer be suspicious of Hexi, and immediately sent a letter to Wang Zhenwei, asking him to lead the main force south to support.

After receiving Murong Yong's letter asking for help, Wang Zhenwei was not in a hurry to go south.

Because he knew that with only 10,000 horses in his hands, even if he added the defenders of Western Yan and Jinyang, he would not be able to confront the tens of thousands of Houyan army.

Not to mention that the opponent is still the famous Murong Trai, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can easily turn the tide when facing Murong Trai.

In the Wuxiang Mansion, Murong You pinned all his hopes for reversing the defeat on the Hexi Army, and at this moment he was looking at Wang Zhenxi, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

"Wuxiang Gong, if you don't save you when you see death, it's really that Murong Chui's strength is too strong, and we can only send it to death in the past."

"What should I do with Zuo Sima's meaning? You can't watch your eldest son fall and the king fall, right? ”

Wang Zhenwei pondered for a moment, weighed it, and hesitated again and again: "Of course, you and I alone can't save the crisis, and we must find foreign help." ”

"With foreign aid? I don't know what Zuo Sima means by this? ”

"I think that at the moment, it is best for Wuxiang Gong to ask Tuoba for help in the name of Xiyan."

"As long as the Northern Wei Dynasty is willing to send troops and gather the strength of you and me, it is expected to defeat Murong Trai and relieve the danger of the wall."

"Huh? Asking for help from the Northern Wei Dynasty? Hasn't Tuoba always been good friends with Murong Trai? How can he send troops to help me Xiyan? ”

Faced with the evil proposal to Wang Zhen, Murong You couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

He couldn't figure it out, as a staunch ally of Hou Yan, how could the Northern Wei Dynasty help Xi Yan if he didn't fall into the well?

Wang Zhenwei shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "There is something unknown below, and I want to ask Wuxiang Gong." ”

"If you were to be Tuoba, would you be able to sleep peacefully at night in the face of Murong Chui, who unified Hebei, Hedong, Youshuo, and Liaodong?"

"Not to mention Tuoba's great talent, since his accession to the throne, he has conquered countless tribes and lands."

"Now Tuoba has completed the great cause of the Northern Expedition, reaching Beji in the east, Luhun Sea in the west, Beihai in the north, and the Great Wall in the south, and the entire desert north and south, thousands of miles of grassland have become Wei pastures."

"After reaching the limit of its northward expansion, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to focus on Hebei and the Central Plains."

"Dare to ask Wuxiang Gong, if the Northern Wei Dynasty plans to march south, who will pose the greatest threat to it?"

"Murong Chui?" Murong You said subconsciously.

"Exactly!"

"Hou Yan, who originally occupied Hebei, Youyan, and Liaodong, has made Hou Tuoba Jue feel great pressure, if Murong Trai occupies the land of the Three Jin Dynasty again, then Tuoba Jue may be restless day and night."

"Even so, it is impossible for the Northern Wei Dynasty to turn against Hou Yan, right?"

"How can Zuo Sima assert that Tuoba Jue will definitely send troops?"

"Wuxiang Gong didn't know that when he eliminated Murong Zhang and Zhang Chong before, he was fortunate to capture some letters exchanged in the Houyan army."

"Among them, Murong Chui specially wrote a letter to remind Murong Zhang, asking him to be careful not to interfere in the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the state."

"At the beginning, Zhang Chong led his troops to sweep the north, in addition to luring Xiyan to be fooled, he also had the intention of going north to guard and prevent."

"It can be seen that secretly there are many disagreements between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Yan, but they have only maintained superficial friendship."

"Now that Xiyan is in danger, I'm afraid that the Northern Wei Dynasty can't wait to send troops to help, just because it doesn't have Xiyan's permission, it's not good to intervene rashly."

"Therefore, I dare to assert that as soon as the letter of Wuxiang Gong asks for help arrives, Tuoba Jue will definitely send troops to help."

"At that time, gather the strength of you and me, what are you afraid of Murong Chui?"

In the end, Murong You still accepted Wang Zhenwei's proposal, not that he was convinced, but that there was no other way.

He can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, which is better than continuing to sit in Jinyang and wait for death now.

……

Things are similar to what Wang Zhenwei thought, and Tuoba Jue has really been paying attention to the Xiyan war.

Just in case, Tuoba Jue personally ordered Tuoba Qian to command 20,000 cavalry to sit in Xinping City.

Tuoba Qian was a tiger general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, known for his bravery and unparalleled force.

Since he was a child, he has followed Tuoba to conquer various departments of the grassland, and has made many military exploits.

Every time he conquered, Tuoba Qian always charged ahead, and when he was brave, the enemy was outnumbered, and he did not dare to resist the former.

Tuoba Jue placed such an invincible general in Xinping City and north of Yanmen Pass, which was precisely what made him come in handy at a critical moment.

After coming to Xinping City, he never forgot Tuoba's advice, and sent people to the south of Yanmen Pass every day to inquire about the news.

At the beginning, when he learned that the Hexi army had killed Murong Zhang and Zhang Chong, Tuoba Qian also celebrated this move.

However, to his surprise, the situation in Xiyan soon turned bad like an avalanche.

First of all, Murong Yong fell for Murong Chui's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and was easily broken through the Taihang Heavenly Danger by the Houyan people.

Immediately afterwards, Xiyan Shangshu ordered Diao Yun and Murong Zhong, the general of the chariot cavalry, to lead their troops to surrender, so that Xiyan was on the verge of annihilation at once.

At this point, it seems that there is no one or force that can stop Murong from swallowing Xiyan.

Seeing the situation in Xiyan collapse day by day, Tuoba was very anxious.

But without the consent of the Xiyan people, he did not dare to venture south to Yanmen Pass.

Otherwise, it is very likely that Xiyan will misunderstand that the Northern Wei Dynasty will take advantage of the fire to rob, which will not only not help ease the situation in the annexation of the state, but will also further worsen the situation.

Just when Tuoba Qian was helpless, a messenger suddenly came from Yanmen Pass.

The person who came was Murong You's confidant, and he brought a letter from Xiyan asking for help.

At this time, Tuoba Qian was worried that he had no chance to intervene, and now seeing Murong You asking for help, he immediately ordered 20,000 cavalry to go south without saying a word.

……

A few days later, when Tuoba Qian and 20,000 cavalry appeared under Jinyang City, Murong You looked at Wang Zhen and was shocked.

In his eyes, what he thought was impossible did not expect that it would easily become a reality as Wang Zhenwei expected.

"Zuo Sima, isn't it heavenly?"

"Hahaha, Wuxiang Gong has a good reputation, and it is just judged according to the situation, how can heaven and man say?"

"Tsk, Zuo Sima is too modest, worthy of being a famous general in Hexi, he is really like a god."

"I admire this friend very much, how to defeat Murong Chui and save Xiyan from danger next depends on Your Excellency."

"Wuxiang Gong rest assured, everything is wrapped up in me, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"Hexi and the Northern Wei Dynasty were originally old enemies, and now Tuoba Qian led the troops to come, and he was worried that he would not be willing to obey the deployment of Xia?"

"Hey, that's a problem!"

"If the three families are united, if they can't work together, they will definitely lose."

"That's exactly the case, so next, I will ask Wuxiang Gong to mediate one or two, at least we have to work together to defeat Murong Chui."

"Well, please rest assured that Sima Zuo will leave everything to you."

At that moment, Murong You personally went out of the city to greet Tuoba Qian, and then Tuoba Qian led some of his henchmen into Jinyang City.

Sure enough, when the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty led by Tuoba Qian met the generals of Hexi led by Wang Zhenxi, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

If it weren't for Murong You's mediation, the two groups would probably have fought.

Even so, the two groups of people lined up on the left and right sides, glaring at each other angrily.

Seeing this situation, Murong You couldn't help but have a headache, the depth of the prejudice between the two sides was beyond his expectations.

"General Tuoba made a righteous move, and the friendship was inspired."

"Wait for the defeat of Murong Trai in the future, and the general will personally present the king and reward the general."

"Duke Wuxiang is polite, he was ordered to come, not for reward, but he couldn't bear to watch his friends being annexed by Murong Chui."

"Also, Ben would like to ask, what is the next step? Also, who will be the commander of the coalition forces? ”

Although Tuoba pious words were for Murong You, his eyes were staring at Wang Zhenwei without blinking.

"This ...... It is said that General Tuoba has the largest number of troops and should be the chief general of the army. ”

"But Wang Sima had fought with Houyan twice before, and he had rich experience in the battlefield, so I thought it was best for Wang Sima to be the commander of the army."

Before Tuoba Qian could say anything, a Northern Wei general next to him was not happy when he heard this, and immediately expressed his dissent.

"Humph! Why let him be the commander? How can my general not do it? ”

"Hahaha, it's not impossible to let General Tuoba be the master."

"I just don't know if General Tuoba has a strategy in his chest to defend against the enemy?"

"As long as the general comes up with a convincing plan, he can abdicate and make way for Xian."
