He seemed to see an invisible net slowly tightening, and the big flag with the word "Yin" on the top of Jinyang City was fluttering in the autumn wind, as if it could reach him at any time.
"General, the 20,000 reinforcements sent by Lord Han have arrived!"
Just when Tuoba Xiong was hesitating whether to send someone to ask Han Yanshou for instructions to withdraw the troops back to Youzhou, a spy came from outside the tent with an urgent report.
good!
Reinforcements finally arrived!
Tuoba Xiong immediately gave up the idea of withdrawing his troops and stood up suddenly: "Come, follow me to welcome the reinforcements! Let's see which general is leading the troops here?"
Hearing that reinforcements had arrived, Tuoba Xiong's spirits lifted, and the gloom and anxiety he had felt for days seemed to have vanished. He immediately put on his armor and, accompanied by his personal guards, went out of the camp to greet them.

As soon as he arrived, he asked about the results of the battle, and his tone implied accountability.
The generals behind Tuoba Xiong all showed resentment on their faces, but Tuoba Xiong stopped them with his eyes.
"We've come all this way, and General Tuoba is just going to leave me out like this?"
Han Changchang saw that Tuoba Xiong had no tact at all, and his dissatisfaction was immediately written on his face.
"General Han, please!"
Tuoba Xiong hurriedly led the way.
