After eating on the second day, Sima Wenzhi walked out of the house and walked towards Tuoba Longyang's room. When the servant brought food before, he specially informed him that the king of Anbei invited him to come over and talk about it.

When he walked out of the house, Sima Wenzhi also took Langya with him. It's not because of reluctance, it's to prevent accidents.

During the morning meal, Langya looked at Mingling's eyes unkindly. Mingling was punished for slandering her, and her eyes were not good at Langya.

Same-sex exclusivity, women and she-wolves are not immune. Sima asked him to prevent an unprovoked accident after he left, so he could only separate the two and take Langya away.

"Earlier today, I was in the office to seek a position as a staff officer with the army for my senior brother, and my senior brother should not resign, nor should he dislike his meager official position. ”

Tuoba Longyang was already waiting, and after seeing Sima Wenzhi walk in, he took the initiative to greet him.

After Sima asked, his brows couldn't help frowning. After a few breaths, he nodded slightly in response.

Tuoba Longyang asked him to follow him, and what position he sought should have been informed and discussed with him in advance. Privately made the decision for him, which made him feel displeased.

"When will the army start?" although he didn't like it, after nodding, he still asked.

"Today is the end of April, and if everything is business as usual, the army will be ready to go at the beginning of next month. Tuoba Longyang informed.

"Where are you going?" asked Sima again.

"Senior brother, where do you think Your Majesty will attack first?" Tuoba Longyang did not reply directly after hearing this, but asked back, wanting to consider it.

"Where would I know. ”

Sima Wenzhi knew that he was asking this intentionally, and deliberately responded without anger, changing his previous serious appearance. After responding, without waiting for permission, he found a seat and sat down.

After sitting down, continue to speak.

"I'm not familiar with the Northland, and I don't know about the grievances between Wei and Xia in recent years. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no basis, how can she speculate. ”

"It's Longyang's fault. ”

In front of Tuoba Longyang, Sima Wenzhi has always been serious, and at this time, he looks like a scoundrel, which makes him feel closer. While putting down his identity and accusing him, he told the situation.

Wei Xia has been grudging for a hundred years, and in the previous life of Wei, there was an entanglement when the Dai State was not established. For more than 100 years, after several battles, the Tuoba clan has risen, until today it wants to destroy the Helian Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Sima asked him not to know everything, and when Master Yu taught him, he also mentioned the historical materials of Wei Xia. What he didn't know was what had happened in recent years.

"According to what the prince said, he once led his troops to attack the capital of the Xia Kingdom?" asked Sima after hearing this.

"In September of the previous year, His Majesty divided his troops into three routes. Lingyicheng Wang Da Xijin attacked Pu Han, and Henan Zhen attacked Shaanxi City several times to contain the troops in Xia Guoguan. His Majesty brought 20,000 light horsemen and attacked the city of Tongwan by surprise. Tuoba Longyang responded after hearing this.

"What happened in the end?" asked Sima about the result of his inquiry.

Before asking, he could already guess the approximately.

Tongwan is the capital of the Xia Kingdom, and it was the former emperor of the Xia Kingdom, Helian Bobo, who drove tens of thousands of people, which took more than ten years to build, and it was not easy to break through.

Moreover, if it has been breached before, and the Xia Kingdom is almost destroyed, there is no need to attack it again at this time.

"The general of the forbidden army, Dou Daitian, took the lead in attacking Tongwan City, but unfortunately the back road was cut off, our army could not respond, and the success fell short, and His Majesty could only return to the city. ”

Tuoba Longyang's response was unexpected, and then he said something else.

"But it's not for nothing. His Majesty captured tens of thousands of Xia people outside Tongwan City, and brought more than 100,000 cattle, horses, and livestock back to Pingcheng. The king of Yicheng also gained a lot there, and many generals of the Kexia Kingdom pocketed Puhan, Chang'an and other places. ”

"He will attack the Xia capital Tongwan first, as before. Sima asked for a moment and then responded.

"How can you see that?" asked Tuoba Longyang why.

"According to what the prince just said, he is an extremely confident and conceited person. It is a great pity that the previous attack on Tongwan fell short. If you don't break the rules, you won't get rid of regrets. Moreover, Tongwan is the capital of the Xia Kingdom and a place where the royal family lives. Although the attack is difficult and dangerous, it is also twice the effort, and once it is broken, it will be broken. Sima asked the reason for the answer.

"Teachable. Tuoba Longyang saluted after hearing this.

"I said the day before that after Ming Ling came to me, I would go with you to the army. I don't care what kind of position I have, but there is one thing I don't get involved in. After Sima asked him to bow down, he said what was in his heart.

"What's the matter?" asked Tuoba Longyang.

"The people everywhere are all of Shenzhou blood, but each is its master. If I capture the city of Tongwan, I will not do gratuitous killing, nor will I do looting. Sima asked to tell the story.

Fang Cai Tuoba Longyang once said that Tuoba Tao failed to attack Tongwan, and brought tens of thousands of Xia people and hundreds of thousands of livestock outside the city back to Pingcheng.

Tuoba Tao is a light and simple surprise attack, and he will definitely not bring much rations. And in his eyes, these people of Xia Kingdom are no different from livestock, and they will not be treated well on the way back to Pingcheng.

Of the tens of thousands of people, only fifty percent of them were able to reach Pingcheng alive, which is much more than the dead and wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

"Among the captives brought back, sixty or seventy percent survived, and now they are all people of Wei. It's just a pity that the rest of the people have become innocent souls. ”

Tuoba Longyang understood, In his words, he agreed with Sima Wen's request.

After that, the two talked again, and when the hour was about to pass, Sima Wenzhi left with Langya. Not long after leaving, the courtiers walked into the house.

"Teacher, the two of us were talking just now, can you hear clearly?" Tuoba Longyang saw him walk in and asked. Then, without waiting for him to answer, ask the question again.

"According to the teacher's opinion, where will the imperial brother attack first?"

"Guanzhong Chang'an. The advisor responded.

After responding, he also didn't wait for Tuoba Longyang to ask, and then said.

"This person is based on speculation, and there is no basis. The spies in Chang'an City came with news that Longxi and Longzhong soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized, and Helianchang had the intention of ordering Helianding to recapture Chang'an. At the same time, Tongwan City has closed its doors during the day and cannot be closed. ”

"In this way, once Helian Ding attacks Chang'an, Helian Chang closes the door and waits for the end, His Majesty can only send troops to help Guanzhong. Tuoba Longyang said after understanding.

That's exactly what it means. ”

When the master and servant were talking, Sima Wenzhi had already returned to the house, and he no longer minded Tuoba Longyang not telling him to invite him.

The previous agreement between the two was more like a gambling contract. Tuoba Longyang can really send Ming Ling here, he is willing to gamble and lose.

What's more, no matter what position he is set, he can enter the Wei army, which is enough.

The day given by Tuoba Longyang is the beginning of May. There were still a few days before then, and Sima Wenzhi was not in a hurry to clean up.

After the embarrassment of the first few days, there was gradually a tacit understanding between him and Ming Ling. There are differences between men and women, and many things can be tacitly avoided.

After many days, there was no movement in the imperial city. When Sima Wenzhi was about to forget about it, on the first day of late May, Tuoba Longyang left the house in a hurry. An hour later, he hurried back. After returning, he did not delay, and directly called the adviser to his house.

"Teacher, Helian Ding suddenly sent troops to Chang'an two days ago to confront the king of Yicheng in Guanzhong. His Majesty has given the order, and the army is about to be marched out. Seeing the arrival of the minister, Tuoba Longyang told him directly.

"Where are you attacking?" the advisor hurriedly asked.

"The summer capital is all over the world. ”
