In the early morning of the second day, Sima Wenzhi woke up early, got up and walked outside the tent to check.

From spring to summer, the weather was a little cold in the early morning, and he tightened his clothes and watched a team of guards walk in front of him.

Yesterday's account, Tuoba Su said that he would make plans after dawn today. At this moment, the guards are patrolling back and forth, and the battalions are not moving, and most of them will continue to be stationed.

As soon as the hour came, and the rest of the tent woke up one after another, two scouts arrived in a hurry from a distance.

After the man dismounted, he did not know what to say to the guard, but the guard did not stop him, and led the two of them all the way to the main general's tent.

Tuoba Su had already woken up and was now in the tent to decide the day's movements.

Although he preferred to wait where he was, some people were right yesterday that the last royal order that Tuoba Tao gave him was to follow him south.

While I was struggling, a guard came in to report. His Majesty sent someone to wait outside. Tuoba Su had some premonitions in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to bring in the future.

"Changshan King Tuoba Su led the infantry camp to camp in place, and continued to move forward two days later, to the northwest of Tongwan City fifty miles to scout. ”

The scout cavalry was sent when Tuoba Tao led the troops to leave Balin Mountain, and after seeing Tuoba Su, he first showed the token, and then said the message.

The scout rode hundreds of miles overnight, and when he found the foot camp, he was on the verge of collapse. After telling the news, he was helped down to rest.

"Order the generals of the battalions to come here at once. "The scout had just gone down, and Tuoba Su opened his mouth to command.

After a short time, the generals entered the camp one after another. After less than a stick of incense, they left one after another, and when they left, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

"This man could have guessed His Majesty's message. After everyone left, Tuoba Su sighed.

Not only the message, but also his speculation yesterday about His Majesty's next move. As soon as Tuoba Su's voice fell, Buhei echoed on the side.

"Is this person really just a strategist in Luoyang's Xu Clan's Castle?" Tuoba Su asked after hearing this.

"King Anbei once asked the sect master of the Xu clan about this matter, and Xu Bingjin did reply like this at that time. However, this son arrived in the Xu family only one day earlier than King Anbei and me. I haven't checked it before, and I can't know where it was. Step pile replied truthfully.

"Why did the general ask that?" replied, and he asked back.

"This man is young and resourceful, and he has a good reason. If you are willing to be driven by Your Majesty, it will be a great help for Wei to pacify the world. ”

Tuoba Su thought for a moment after hearing this, and then opened his mouth to explain. Then the conversation changed and he expressed his worries.

"It's just that he didn't know where he came from, and we didn't know the details. If you want to reuse, you need to check it carefully. ”

"As it should be. After listening to this, Budui echoed again.

Halfway through the hour, Sima asked for the news that the army would continue to be stationed and would no longer be drawn today.

When did he know that he didn't care, he had already speculated in his heart before that, and there was not much difference from the military order issued by Tuoba Su.

The army was stationed, and except for the patrol guards, the rest of the soldiers were not allowed to move around at will. Sima Wenzhi had nothing to do in the camp tent, and was a little bored.

He wanted to go to a no-man's land to resume his cultivation.

Before leaving Luoyang, his body was full of spiritual energy. When I was marching all the way to Heijo, there was a lot of loss because of the night guard.

Although Tuoba Su did not allow others to move around at will, he did not have much restraint on Sima Wenzhi. Whether it's stealth or illusion, he can leave at will after casting it.

But in the end, it was not done.

After last night, he began to enter the eyes of some people. If someone comes to the camp to look for him to no avail, it will cause trouble.

When the Wei army was stationed in the same place, the Wei king Tuoba Tao led the army to march all night and reached Heishui. Tongwan City is located between Heishui and Shuofang, and arriving here indicates that it is not far from the Xia Kingdom.

After crossing the black water, he did not rest. After hiding most of the men and horses in the surrounding valleys, he led the remaining troops and horses to march towards Tongwan City.

"We have crossed the great river and are about to reach the foot of the city of Tongwan. It is more than 1,000 miles away from Pingcheng, and the big river blocks the back road. One step forward may be killed, and one step back will be fatal. The only way to do this is to capture the summer capital and survive to the death!"

When he was about to march, Tuoba Tao inspired the soldiers.

The Wei army had not yet arrived at the city of Tongwan, and the smoke and dust stirred up were detected by the defenders of the Xia State. After further confirmation, some of the defenders stepped out and hurried to the imperial city.

When the Wei army attacked Tongwancheng the year before, Helian Chang was celebrating the 'Winter Festival' with the courtiers and was caught off guard by Tuoba Tao. This time, the Wei army was ready to attack him, and he waited in the imperial city for many days.

"Do you see clearly, it is indeed the Wei army's soldiers and horses?" Seeing that the city gate guards were coming, Helian Chang asked.

"The banner is indeed the Wei army. The guard responded truthfully.

"How many centaurs are there?" asked Helian Chang after hearing this.

"When the last general came, the Wei army was still far away and could not be counted in detail. Look at the smoke and dust they stir up, there should be thousands of horsemen. The guard replied.

"Go back quickly, and tell the general to close the city gates and take strict precautions. If the Wei army arrived at the city, they were only allowed to shoot long-range bows and crossbows, and were not allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle. ”

Helian Chang pondered for a moment after hearing the reply, and then ordered the guards to retreat.

"Inform the courtiers and come to the proceedings. After the guard left, he commanded again.

didn't wait long, and the courtiers of the Xia Kingdom came one after another. Helian Chang informed the guards of the news and waited for the reaction of everyone in the hall.

The crowd was passionate.

Knowing that Tuoba Tao only brought thousands of soldiers and horses, some generals immediately asked for permission to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city and slaughter the Wei army outside the city.

"What should thousands of iron horsemen do if they are just forwards?" asked Helianchang after hearing the plea.

When the crowd heard this, no one responded.

"Send someone to Guanzhong and send a letter to Pingyuan Gonghe Lianding. He was ordered to return to Tongwan as soon as possible, join forces with me, and avenge the humiliation of the previous year. ”

Seeing that no one responded, Helian Chang shook his head slowly, shook his head and then instructed the people around him.

The previous command had just been laid, and then he spoke again.

In addition, another team of men and horses was sent to investigate along the road agreed with Liu Yilong to confirm where the people from the Song Kingdom had arrived. ”

After a short time, the south gate of Tongwan City opened, and the two teams of men and horses went out of the city one after another, running to different directions, and gradually disappeared.

Almost at the same moment, Tuoba Tao led a vanguard to the city of Tongwancheng, and stopped when he was about to enter the range of the crossbow. The gate guards reconfirmed, and after confirming, they went to the Imperial City for the second time.

Tuoba Tao thought that he only brought thousands of soldiers and horses, and Helian Chang would not take it seriously, and would send people out of the city to expel him. But until the afternoon, there was no movement at the gate of Tongwan City.

In fact, there is some movement.

Since his arrival, there have been more and more Xia Kingdom guards on the city gate. From time to time, people shuttle back and forth between the city gate and the city, moving batches of objects guarding the city to the city tower.

But Helian Chang did not succeed in the plan.
