Tuoba is the main commander who guards this place.

Although Tongwan City has been pacified, in order to guard against the attack of the dead soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, there are many soldiers guarding inside and outside the palace gate. After Sima Wenzhi arrived in a hurry, he was stopped at the door.

"Hurry up, the prince is waiting in the hall. ”

Without waiting for him to explain his identity and intentions, someone in the house walked out. As he spoke, he pulled him inside.

The people waiting in the hall were not the only ones.

Sima asked for permission, pushed the door in, and saw that there were many people waiting inside. Tuoba Su was drinking tea with another person and talking about something, and when he saw him coming, he got up and wanted to be introduced.

"General, no need for a referral. I had a relationship with the Taoist chief a few months ago, and we knew each other well. Seeing this, another man interrupted him.

This person, Sima Wenzhi, also knew that Tuoba Tao's will to let him guard this place together was passed on by Zhao Ni.

But it's just acquaintance, not acquaintance.

"General, what's wrong?"

It was Tuoba Su who made him come, Sima Wenzhi ignored Zhao Ni and asked straight to the side.

Tuoba Su didn't respond after hearing this, and looked to the side.

"Your Majesty commanded the Taoist chief to pack up a little, and then went to Kasaka. Zhao Ni informed the will.

"For what?" Sima asked subconsciously after hearing this.

Before he was happy to go down to guard the errand here, he intended to stay in Tongwan. Now that he was asked to go elsewhere, he had no will, and there was some resistance in his heart.

Even if you want to, you won't respond easily. When he confronted Cui Hao before, he had already made his mind clear, not driven by arbitrariness, and would only do things after seeing things.

"The king of Yicheng lost the battle with the new lord of the Xia Kingdom, several generals were captured by the Xia army, and Chang'an and other places were also lost. Now our army is barely holding its ground in Kasaka, and we need the Taoist chief to rush to help. ”

Zhao Ni hadn't spoken yet, and Tuoba Su replied on his behalf.

"The general already knows?"

After Sima asked, he was not surprised, and asked back.

It has been a few days since the city of Tongwancheng was under martial law, and it is clear that something has happened. He just didn't know what was going on, and when he heard it, his doubts cleared up.

"This..."Tuoba Tao was a little speechless, and then quickly explained.

"Lord Zhao just informed. ”

Sima Wenzhi guarded this place with him, and he left it behind on his behalf, and this news should be shared. If he had known about it before but deliberately didn't tell him, although Sima asked him what he couldn't do, it would probably leave a gap.

Only then did Zhao Ni inform him of some other hidden secrets, which made him pay more attention to Sima Qianzhi and didn't want anything unpleasant to happen.

When Sima Wenzhi heard the explanation, he no longer dwelled on the fact that he had not been informed in advance.

Among the few people known in the Wei State, except for Tuoba Longyang, he had the best feeling for Tuoba Su. Knowing that he was lying, he had no intention of digging deeper.

However, this matter can be pretended to be confused, and other things cannot.

There are countless generals in the Wei army, and there are many people who can fight well. Why Tuoba Tao personally ordered someone to order him to go, the reason must be asked.

"Why me?" he asked.

In the letter announcing the war, in addition to informing the results of the previous battle, General Shudui said other things at the end. Most of the ministers of the court and China thought that he was shirking the defeat, but only His Majesty and Lord Taichang firmly believed that it was true. Zhao Ni responded.

"What is difficult to fathom with common sense?" Sima asked with speculation in his heart.

"Exactly. Zhao Ni opened his mouth to confirm and began to tell the hidden story.

"The king of Yicheng was indeed a little anxious, and rashly sent troops to pursue. But looking at the situation at the time, there should not have been such a defeat. When the soldiers who fled back at the end recounted the war, they all mentioned that strange things had happened that were unfavorable to the Wei army during the war. ”

"The Protector Heavenly Master is also in Pingcheng. Sima asked and reminded after hearing this.

He guessed what it was.

When the two armies under the city of Tongwan faced each other, there were cultivators who used the same sect to use spells to help the Xia army. Therefore, it is not uncommon for these people to strike again.

Even so, there was no reason why he had to go. Wei has a Heavenly Master for the Protector of the Country, and his cultivation is not weak, so it is most appropriate to do this.

"Kou Tianshi went out to watch the clouds a few days ago, and now he doesn't know where he is. Before leaving, he did not leave any contact information. Zhao Ni knew what he was going to say, and explained after hearing the reminder.

"There are still high disciples in the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country. Sima asked, but still refused.

"The previous year, King Anbei was seriously injured and had not recovered, so it was not suitable to fight at this time, nor should he travel far away. Zhao Ni once again blocked him back.

After blocking back, seeing that Sima Wenzhi still wanted to excuse himself, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, and told him that the letter was transcribed by Lord Taichang himself.

Sima Wenzhihu suspiciously took the letter and opened it to check it. After dozens of breaths, knowing the content of the letter, he asked coldly.

"It seems that the King of Wei has taken great pains to drive me. If I don't comply, what will I do?"

"The things in the letter were intercepted from the hands of the Song people, and His Majesty learned about them by chance. Even if the Taoist chief does not obey, His Majesty will not treat the Taoist chief as such. ”

Zhao Ni had already been explained before he came here, and he was expected to react like this and say the prepared words. After saying that, he paused for a moment and changed his words.

"However, Your Majesty has a lot of regrets for the Dao Chief's life experience, if the Dao Chief is willing to do things for the Wei State, His Majesty is willing to lend soldiers and horses to help the Dao Chief do what he wants to do. ”

After Sima Wenzhi heard what he said, he lowered his head and thought about it. After a while, he made a choice in his heart and asked Zhao Ni.

"Did the King of Wei ever say that after arriving in Pusaka, I and General Yudui, who will be controlled by whom?"

"Your Majesty ordered the promotion of Xiping Gong'an Jiejie to the pre-battle commander, and this person will be picked up in Pusaka. When marching and arranging, An Jie was the general. When the weirdness is broken, the Taoist is handsome. ”

Zhao Ni saw that he should respond, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly informed Tuoba Tao of the king's order.

"Since the Taoist chief has already responded to this matter, let's go back and clean up quickly. Lord Zhao worked hard for days, and the people in the house first arranged a rest. Seeing this, Tuoba Su told the rest of the arrangement.

If it weren't for Tuoba Tao's personal order, Zhao Ni would not have taken on such a drudgery. He was already tired and abnormal, and after hearing Tuoba Su's words, he did not object, and left with the servants in the palace with his fellow guards.

Sima Wenzhi followed behind Zhao Ni and was about to leave together, but he was stopped by Tuoba Su just after turning around.

"Dao Chief, stay. In the matter of Tongwan City Defense, there are still some things that need to be explained by the Taoist chief. ”

Sima stopped after hearing this, Zhao Ni turned around and glanced at it after hearing it, felt that there was nothing abnormal, and turned to leave.

"What is King Changshan for?"

When all the outsiders in the house left, Sima Wenzhi took the initiative to ask, and at the same time changed his name.

In the past, I was called "General" because the thing we discussed was war. At this moment, he changed his name to "King Changshan", because he knew that what Tuoba Su was going to talk to him was not about the defense of the city, but mostly about the current situation of Wei.

"The Heavenly Master of the Protector has indeed traveled, and Yang'er is not without healing. Tuoba replied.

"Why?" Sima asked, subconsciously asking.
