Wei Wuhou

Chapter 815
(I've been very busy at work recently, so busy that I didn't even have a chance to turn on the computer, so the update was left behind. I hope book friends understand!! After all, supporting the family is the most important thing!!)

In April of the tenth year of Marquis Wei, the land of Lu State was a month full of wars.

In a land hundreds of miles southeast of Qufu, nearly 20 troops from Qi and Wei countries fought, turning this fertile land that had been peaceful for decades into a battlefield full of corpses.

But in the minds of the Lu people, as long as either of Qi and Wei wins, the war will end and they will be able to live a peaceful life again.

After April [-]th, the Qi people were indeed defeated, and the Wei people also drove the Qi people to the south of the river in the next few days.

The land of the State of Lu was completely under the control of the State of Wei, but the war did not end as expected by the people of Lu. The army of the State of Wei lined up on the north bank of the Great River, and they seemed to be fighting across the river.

After a stalemate... or five days of preparation, on the sixth day of May, after Wei Jun mobilized ships on the north bank, he began a large-scale attack on Qi State.

Although it is a large-scale attack, it is a landing operation after all, and the troops invested by the Wei army are relatively limited each time.

In the Qi army camp on the south bank of the river, although the Wei army had been successfully driven back to the north bank in recent days, the soldiers of the Qi army were still not happy.

Dahe is already the last line of defense of the Qi country, which they must not lose, which makes the hearts of the soldiers of the Qi army tense all the time, how can they be happy about this.

Inside the military tent, Tian Yuwen carefully looked at the mountains of documents in front of him. There were not only military reports from various places, but also matters concerning the national economy and people's livelihood of Qi State.

After marching and fighting for several months, although Tian Yuwen did not go forward to fight with the soldiers, he still lost a lot of weight when he went out.

And after the defeat in the Battle of Lu, Tian Yuwen's whole temperament has also undergone a great change, which is much more stable than before.

Strictly speaking, Tian Yuwen was in his mid-thirties. It would be ridiculous to talk about prudence at this time, but in fact it was.

Standing by the side in the military tent is Zhou Can, because he has made great achievements in leading troops into the battlefield, and now Zhou Can has become Tian Yuwen's most important person, able to participate in military secret affairs.

"Your Majesty, the conditions here are difficult, you should move to Runan City!" Zhou Can said.

Tian Yuwen seemed undecided, but continued to look at the document in his hand, his brows still frowning.

Runan City is [-] miles south of the Qi army camp, not far from the front line, but the conditions must be better than those in the army camp.

Zhou Can's suggestion that Tian Yuwen move to Runan is also for the sake of the monarch's life, and he can be described as a great loyal minister.

However, Tian Yuwen is still in the mood to enjoy it at this time. The Dahe is already the last natural barrier of the Qi country, and the most important thing is to guard this natural barrier.

"Zhou Qing, the Wei army in Ludi has been attacking constantly in recent days. Although it is a small group, if you don't respond with all your strength, it can cause a catastrophe!" Tian Yuwen said slowly.

Zhou Can nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, according to my opinion... Wei Jun's recent attacks are all feints, and the real attack time has not yet come, and that is the time to test our generals! "

Zhou Can didn't need to say this, Tian Yuwen knew it well in his heart, the generals in the army had mentioned this to him many times.

Picking up a report next to him, Tian Yuwen showed it to Zhou Can and said, "Look, this is the news from Hualin County, and the Xiangping Camp of the Wei Army has also moved!"

Hearing this, Zhou Can's heart tightened immediately. At this time, Qi State was already under heavy pressure. If Wei Jun even came up with the Xiangping camp, the pressure on Qi Jun would be even greater.

When Zhou Can took the memorial to read carefully, Tian Yuwen picked up another memorial and reported: "And this, this is the news from the south that Wei's Changping camp is also preparing for battle!"

If the news just now made Zhou Can feel heavy, now he can only feel despair.

The Wei army's three-way army was mobilized, with a total strength of 27, which was close to the sum of Qi's national defense forces.

How can we fight this battle?The Wei army is coming in menacingly. Is Qi really going to follow in Qin's footsteps?Zhou Can thought so in his heart.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhou Can still said firmly at this time: "Your Majesty, although the Wei army is coming in menacingly, I will fight to the death and will not retreat, so as to repay your majesty's kindness!"

Loyalty is the basic quality of a qualified courtier. Zhou Can has the courage to fight and is unambiguous in being an official.

Therefore, at this time, Tian Yuwen said: "You have made great achievements in Ludi, and I am willing to use you as the front-line commander to be responsible for preventing the Ludi Wei from attacking. Do you have any doubts?"

If Tian Yuwen had given Zhou Can this opportunity a month ago, he would have woken up laughing from his dreams, but at this moment, this opportunity is like a hot potato.

Responsible for guarding against the Wei people's attack, although there are great rivers and natural dangers, how can the Wei people be so easy to guard against?
It's okay if he succeeds, but if there is any mistake, he will become a criminal of the country, no matter what merits he has done before, he will not be able to save the life of the little one.

Zhu Shiyuan's ineffective command of the battle was only dismissed from his post. It was because he was supported by the family behind him, but what was behind Zhou Can?Nothing at all!

Instinctively, Zhou Can wanted to decline this errand, and let him help from the side, but it was absolutely impossible to take on this responsibility.

But before he opened his mouth to speak, Tian Yuwen said: "Zhou Qing, now that the country is in crisis, good generals are hard to come by. Only you can entrust this important task!"

What Tian Yuwen said was so sincere that Zhou Can couldn't find a reason to refuse.The most important thing is that the monarch has said something to this point, and it is impossible for him to refuse.

Therefore, after a few seconds of silence, Zhou Can bowed down and said: "Your Majesty has entrusted you with such great trust, and I am so grateful!"

"The frontline wars are full of dangers. If something happens to me, I hope you will take good care of your wife, children, and parents!"

When Zhou Can said such words, he already had the will to die.Because for him, invincibility is death, and only his family members can live if he dies.

To be honest, Tian Yuwen was very helpless to force Zhou Can into such a situation. Facing the request made by his courtiers, he could only agree to it at this time.

"Don't worry, I will not treat meritorious ministers badly!" Tian Yuwen said in a deep voice.

These words are also meaningful, as if they are telling Zhou Can that you must make meritorious deeds, so as to keep your wife and parents happy.

Just when the monarch and his ministers were about to discuss specific defense matters, there was a rush of footsteps outside the military tent, which made both Tian Yuwen feel bad.

Sure enough, a military official broke into the military tent and knelt down and said, "I tell you, the Wei army has made a big attack. There are nearly [-] large ships and nearly a hundred small boats crossing the river!"

This is the largest attack by the Wei army in recent days!
For a while, both Tian Yuwen and Zhou Can came to such a judgment.

But the crux of the matter is not the visible Wei Jun, the Qi Jun always has the means and ability to drive them off the embankment.

Therefore, the attacks of those Wei troops who did not appear on the battlefield are the most worrying.

"Wei's army didn't come here well, Zhou Qing... since the widow has entrusted you with the power of command, it's up to you to go to the front and command the troops!" Tian Yuwen said in a low voice.

"It's true that the Wei army is strong, but our Daqi also has elite fighters... If we can take advantage of the natural dangers of the great river and continue to consume the Wei army's strength, food, and morale, then our Daqi has a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Seeing Wei Jun's attack as an opportunity to kill the opponent, Zhou Can's mentality also changed after hearing this idea, and even at that moment his pressure was reduced a lot.

The same thing, viewed with different eyes and angles, will draw different conclusions and produce different mentalities.

It can be seen that although Tian Yuwen is not very good at commanding operations, he is still very thoughtful in adjusting his mentality.
