The East China Sea team set off immediately with An Tong, and there are some problems in the "Book of Wei" written by Wei Shu, a historian of the Northern Qi Dynasty, for this history of An Tong's request for help.

Wei received this person, who went through the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was known as one of the "Three Talents" at that time, but his surname was relatively frivolous, and he was called "Butterfly Man". When he was ordered to write the "Book of Wei", he once declared: "What kind of boy, dare to collect color with Wei, and if you do it, you will make it go to heaven, and if you follow it, you will make it go to the earth." ”

The Book of Wei, which he compiled with this mentality, was immediately accused of being a "filthy history", and he had to change its draft three times before it was finally finalized. Of course, despite the many faults of Wei Shui and his Book of Wei, it is still famous through the ages as one of the 24 histories, and it is the first history book to describe the dynasties of ethnic minorities.

The Book of Wei records the process of Hu and Han strife and integration during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and although there are still many shortcomings, it also makes significant contributions. Sima Fuqiang's planning for the main line of war in the Northern Wei Dynasty was completely based on this history book, but at this time, he also had a headache because of this history book.

According to the original text of the Book of Wei, "An Tongjian traveled to Zhongshan." Murong Chui sent his son He to ride 6,000 to follow, An Tong and the envoy Lan Su returned, reached Niuchuan, and the brother of the cave was defended by Yi Lie", the meaning of this sentence is obviously that An Tong arrived in Zhongshan smoothly, Murong Chui sent his son Murong Lin to lead 6,000 reinforcements to accompany him, accompanied by the envoy Lan Su, to the place of Niuchuan, Tuoba Yilie led troops to block Murong Lin's army.

The next sentence of the "Book of Wei" is "An Tong is hidden in the bag of the merchant, and at dusk he enters the empty well, and he is spared, and he still runs to He." That is to say, in order to avoid Tuoba's fierce search, An Tong hid in the merchant's bag, and at dusk he jumped into a dry well to escape, so he was able to escape and run back to Murong Lin's army.

It's a bit unbelievable in this paragraph, An Tong obviously brought Murong Lin and six thousand reinforcements, why did he have to avoid Tuoba Yilie so embarrassed, it's really puzzling.

Some people explained that An Tong and Lan Su took the first step to inform Tuoba that reinforcements were already on the way, in order to appease people's hearts, combined with the specific locations of several key place names at that time, this statement is more reasonable.

Niuchuan is southeast of Hohhot in the real world, Shengle (now Inner Mongolia and Lingel County) is just south of Hohhot, Gaoliu (now Yanggao County, northeast of Datong, Shanxi) is located 300 miles east of Shengle, and Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, northeast of Shijiazhuang, Hebei) is located 500 miles west of Gaoliu.

According to the relative location of these key locations, Sima Fuqiang could roughly judge that the marching route of Murong Lin's army should be from Zhongshan to the southwest, through the Jingcheng of Taihang Eight Tibia, through Mengxian and Yangqu in Shanxi, and then arrive at the county of Daijun during the Jin Dynasty. The predecessor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Daiguo, was named because it was located in Daijun. After Dai County, to the northwest is Shengle and Ushigawa, and to the northeast is Takayanagi.

Although the straight-line distance from Zhongshan to Niuchuan is only seven or eight hundred miles, but through the tortuous Taihang Jingcheng, this road is more than thousands of miles. Murong Lin's army was naturally slower than An Tong, who was a light horseman, so he needed to take the first step to inform Tuoba Jue.

At this time, he accompanied An Tong to ask Murong Trai for help, and Sima Fuqiang could finally experience this matter as one of the parties involved. Everything is as stated in the Book of Wei, the Donghai team and An Tongxing successfully brought back reinforcements from Zhongshan, and as Sima Fuqiang expected, the army entered the Northern Wei Dynasty through Jingcheng.

At this time, Tuoba Jue was still in the Helan Department north of Yinshan Mountain, and Liu Kangni and Tuoba Gulu had already led the Dugu Department to approach Niuchuan from the direction of the Later Qin Empire in the southwest, and the nascent Northern Wei was in danger.

After discussing with Murong Lin, An Tong, Lan Su and Sima Fuqiang, they came to a conclusion.

The Houyan army would definitely not be able to reach Shengle or Niuchuan before October, and before that, the Dugu tribe would definitely occupy this generation first. If Tuoba Jue returns to Niuchuan with Helan reinforcements first, he will inevitably be defeated by the Dugu Division. In this way, even if the Houyan reinforcements arrived, it would be useless.

Therefore, someone had to inform Tuoba so that the two armies could act in unison. After Sima Fuqiang's "cheater", Murong Lin set the location of the rendezvous and the decisive battle in Gaoliu, because this place happened to be in a position where both sides could arrive at about the same time, so it was most feasible to mobilize the Dugu army.

That is to say, after the Later Yan army passed through Dai County, it would go to Gaoliu by way of the northeast, and Tuoba Jue needed to use himself as bait to attract Tuoba Cave to Gaoliu.

Therefore, Wei Shu's account of this period of history in the Book of Wei is only a few words, and there are still many discrepancies in the biographies of each person, which is completely impossible to restore the truth of history. At this time, Sima Fuqiang experienced the situation firsthand, and it can be said that he has a deep understanding of all aspects of this battle.

The Donghai team had to continue to accompany An Tong in the operation, because as the core figure in the deployment of this strategy, Sima Fuqiang had to personally go back to explain the details of the operation to Tuoba.

The group and Murong Lin broke up on the eastern side of Taihang Mountain in Jingcheng, and hurried to Niuchuan first, and then prepared to cross Yinshan Mountain from there to the north and go to Helan to meet Tuoba Jue.

At the end of September, they finally arrived in Ushikawa, where Tuoba Yilie really set up a card to monitor the passing personnel. And Liu Kangni and Tuoba Gulu's Dugu army were stationed on the grassland of the Shengle generation, as long as Tuoba Jue dared to come back, he could only be sent to death.

Although the people in the dream had a higher status in the eyes of Tuoba than An Tong at this time, because they rarely appeared in front of the common people of the Tuoba Tribe, not many people knew them. On the contrary, An Tong, who has been serving Tuoba Jue, has more people who know, so someone informed Tuoba Gulu about An Tong's envoy to Houyan, and provided his portrait.

Tuoba Yilie posted lists all over Niuchuan to arrest An Tong, intending to cut off Tuoba's source of information. After discussing with An Tong for a long time, Sima Fuqiang finally persuaded this young man to use as a "bait" to attract Tuoba Yilie's attention in order to cover the Donghai team's passage through the Yinshan checkpoint near Niuchuan.

After a few days of getting along, Huang Ying's impression of An Tong is not bad, and naturally she doesn't want this young man to become a substitute for the dead. "Is he okay?"

"No problem, An Tong is a veteran of the three dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he still has more than 40 years to live, and he has a great life." Sima Fuqiang looked at An Tong's distant back and comforted. Although he took advantage of this young man, he also used it skillfully according to the trend of history, rather than savagely "destroying" those historical figures who could not die for the time being.

Niu Chuan was blocked, that was An Tong's fate, not an extra job imposed on him by Sima Fuqiang, so just go with the flow and achieve good results without worrying too much about his safety.

Later, the Donghai team pretended to be a passing merchant and reported to Tuoba Yilie's subordinates that they had discovered An Tong's whereabouts, so that they won the trust of the soldiers guarding the pass, successfully passed the Niuchuan checkpoint, and were able to cross Yinshan in the north.

However, Sima Fuqiang underestimated the difficulty of this task after all, and it can be said that he still had luck and hoped to complete the conditions for improving the evaluation as easily as possible.
