224. Left behind in Tongwan
"How so?"
Seeing that he was very sure of what he said, Sima Wenzhi was a little curious in his heart, and then asked.
"Lord Taichang's question should be asked for the emperor's brother. ”
After Tuoba Longyang responded, he began to tell the reason.
"I grew up with my brother, who was both confident and conceited. The senior brother first refused, and then he was noncommittal to the questioning, and the imperial brother would definitely find another opportunity to test it. ”
"What do you think of it now?" Sima nodded after hearing this, he didn't want to pay attention to this matter anymore, nodded and diverted the topic.
"It's much better, thank you brother for helping. Tuoba Longyang replied.
"Don't be careless. Although I will cross the spirit for you, it is still unknown whether I can absorb all of them. However, if there are no accidents, you can recover after a few days of resting. Sima asked with a face of consolation and a reminder.
What Tuoba Longyang had guessed did not happen, and no one came for a few days since the confrontation in the library pavilion, and no one came to ask for his opinion.
Sima couldn't ask for it.
After several days of marching, and two days of rest in between, he still felt tired. At this moment, no one is bothered, and it is just the right time to recuperate.
Sima asked him to have nothing to do, but Tuoba Longyang was just the opposite.
Just one day after he was injured, the king of Wei, Tuobatao, sent someone to him and ordered him to go to the imperial palace to be dispatched. But when the visitors saw that he couldn't walk neatly, he had to go back alone to recover his life.
Two days later, the man came again. Although Tuoba Longyang had not yet recovered, he was no longer in serious trouble walking, and followed the man with his injuries.
Sima Wenzhi was indignant about this matter, but Tuoba Longyang himself was happy.
After the He family became pregnant, some of the forces that used to rely on him gradually began to break up. is also a member of the royal family, and he was deliberately excluded from the previous step camp meeting, which also hit him hard.
Fortunately, the situation has finally eased somewhat.
After he sacrificed his life to save him, Tuoba Tao personally ordered that he be present during the deliberations of the main hall. Some forces that had been separated from him before began to contact him again.
It's just that after this ups and downs, he understands a lot between trade-offs and becomes more forbearing.
After a few more days, Sima Wenzhi was no longer indignant. Tuoba Longyang's participation in the government is not without benefits, and every time he comes back from the deliberations, he can bring back some news.
Most of the news is related to Wei and Xia.
On that day, Helian Chang saw that the rear road was cut off, and led hundreds of horsemen to break through to the southwest. The Wei army then pursued, and the pursuit was fruitless and returned to Tongwancheng.
In the past few days, news has gradually come back.
Helian Chang fled all the way to the southwest, and did not stop rectifying his troops and horses until he reached Shangqi, which was thousands of miles away.
In addition to Helian Chang, there is also news about another line of soldiers and horses in the Xia Kingdom.
Tuoba Tao gave up rescuing Chang'an and went straight to Tongwan, in addition to wanting to make up for the regret of failing to break through the Xia capital the previous year, he also had the intention of encircling Wei to save Zhao.
Although Helian Ding did not come back to help, after learning the news that Tongwan was broken and the emperor's brother had escaped, he no longer confronted Da Xijin, and took the initiative to lead the soldiers and horses to leave Guanzhong and withdraw towards Shangqi.
After Sima asked, he began to prepare to leave.
Before the Great War, Pingcheng and Tongwan were the capitals of Wei and Xia, and Tuoba Tao would value Tongwan. Now that the summer has been broken, Helianchang and Helianding have fled far away, and there will be no more disputes between here and Guanzhong in the short term.
Therefore, when the situation in Tongwan gradually settles, Tuoba Tao will definitely return to Pingcheng. There is the capital of Wei, and it is the foundation of the current Wei State.
Sure enough, within two days, when Tuoba Longyang came back from the main hall, he brought the news that Tuoba Tao was about to lead the troops back to the capital.
"When will you return?" asked Sima for details.
"Just these two days. This time, the Helian clan was almost uprooted, and there would be no more major disputes in the ten thousand cities within a few months. The north is about to move, and the imperial brother is anxious to return to the capital to make some arrangements. Tuoba Longyang informed the news.
"Who is guarding this place?" Sima asked and nodded in response, and continued to ask after responding.
There will be no more big strife, and it does not mean that there are no small strife. Even if this place is taken, the Wei State is still under the attack of the Xia State and Rouran. If there is no one to guard it, this place will not last long.
"The imperial brother ordered his uncle Tuoba Su and Zhijin Wuhuan to stay here to guard against the attack of the Xia State's soldiers and horses. Tuoba Longyang's response confirmed his guess.
"What's on King Anbei's mind?" asked Sima Qianzhi.
Tuoba Longyang responded twice, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, and he noticed it after the second response.
"My uncle has no objection to the matter of guarding the town. But he made a request to the imperial brother, and the senior brother also stayed here and stayed with him. Tuoba Longyang hesitated a little after hearing this, but still replied after a while.
"Did King Anbei answer for me, or did he refuse for me?" Sima asked that he didn't expect such a thing, and hurriedly asked about the result.
"There is no refusal, the royal brother immediately sent someone to write the king's order, which will come later. When Tuoba Longyang responded, his face was full of guilt and embarrassment.
As soon as the words fell, before Sima could react, a shouting voice came from outside the door. The eunuch who delivered the order of King Tuoba Tao arrived at the door of the two people's house.
What the eunuch said was no different from what Tuoba Longyang just said. After Sima asked, he directly took the will and sent the eunuch away.
"Are you surprised, why did I change sex so quickly?" After the official left, Sima Wenzhi asked Tuoba Longyang, who was full of doubts.
"Just now, I'm really worried that Senior Brother will have a conflict with Zhao Ni. Tuoba Longyang admitted.
Zhao Ni is Tuoba Tao's personal attendant, although his rank is low, he always accompanies him and is often flattered. If Sima asks if he refuses, he will inevitably argue with him, and he will inevitably get into trouble.
"What if there is a conflict, it's a big deal to leave, I'm afraid of getting you into trouble. Sima Wenzhi threw his will aside and responded without fear.
"Really?" Tuoba Longyang didn't believe it.
"It's really three percent. Sima asked, not in vain.
The remaining seventy percent is for their own consideration.
Tuoba Longyang once said that Tuoba Tao's temperament, so this direct order should also be a temptation. According to Sima Qianzhi's previous temperament, he will definitely refuse.
But staying behind is different.
If he stays here, he will stay away from Tuobatao, and even if there is another temptation, the sky is high and the road is far away, and he will have more time to consider and react.
Moreover, in the previous marching and fighting methods, more than half of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed, and he urgently needed to replenish it. Pingcheng is not suitable, and Tongwan is much better.
Two days later, the city was full of people. After more than two months of expedition, the Wei army returned to the Wei capital victoriously.
Along with the Wei army, there were tens of thousands of livestock and countless treasures.
When the Wei army left, Tuoba Longyang thought about saying goodbye to Sima Wen. After searching for him, he couldn't find him, and finally regretted leaving.
Sima asked if he was deliberately missing.
Even if we don't see each other again, parting is always sad.
