Wei Wuhou

Chapter 817
On May 22, the tenth year of Marquis Wei, in Runan City.

Among the government offices in Runan City, the atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant at this time, which was the only time in several months.

The monarch Tian Yuwen is in front of the battle, and Runan is the closest place to the front line of the Qi State. All military supplies must be transferred from here, and at the same time, it is also facing the strong military pressure of the Wei army.

But in the last few days, the situation on the front line can be described as good, and the Wei army was driven back in despair in several successive battles.

Therefore, right now, everyone in the army praises the monarch Tian Yuwen for his knowledge of people. After appointing Zhou Can to preside over the frontline battle, he won such a big victory.

However, Tian Yuwen's previous appointment of Zhu Shiyuan led to the defeat. Under the cover of consecutive victories, no one cares about it.

Because of this, Tian Yuwen himself became in a very good mood, so today he chose to return to Runan City, intending to celebrate with his generals.

Today's participants, in addition to several generals under Tian Yuwen's direct control, are also the central officials of the Qi State stationed in Runan City, who are responsible for the transportation of food and grass throughout the Qi State.

To put it simply, the current Runan City has become the temporary court of Qi State.

On the steps outside the lobby of the official office, Tian Yuwen's position was placed here, and his good sightlines allowed him to have a panoramic view of the civil and military officials.

"Wei people have suffered a lot these days, how long can they continue to attack?" Tian Yuwen said with a smile, he hadn't felt this kind of joy for a long time.

At this time, the one who was closest to him was Zhou Can, who was the most popular, and he took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, although the Wei army's offensive is fierce, it has been hanging outside for a long time, not only The consumption of food and grass is huge, and the continuous fierce battle is also a great consumption of their morale and strength..."

"That's why I also think that the Wei people will not be rampant for long!"

Tian Yuwen nodded, and then said: "I heard that when Wei Wuji gave Zheng Chang an order, he gave him a one-month deadline..."

"One month is fleeting. By then, Zheng Chang will not be able to teach well, and he should be kicked back to Wu'an!"

"A lesson from the Lord!" Zhou Can said slowly.

But in fact, Zhou Can was not so optimistic in his heart. Although he was currently guarding against the Wei army on the opposite side, the Wei people did not back down so easily.

What's more, the current state of Qi is still fighting on two fronts, not only Zheng Chang on the opposite side of Runan, but also the Xiangping camp of Wei State in the north is attacking.

Not only that, Zhou Can couldn't laugh at the thought of Wei's Changping camp.

Looking at the smile on the monarch's face, Zhou Can always felt that there was something missing in the smile, simply put, it was a little fake.

The monarch must be aware of Qi's situation, and it is precisely because of this situation that the monarch needs to create such a pleasant atmosphere to relax the soldiers and civilians of Qi who are in a high-pressure situation.

But now, everything has been prepared, just waiting for Tian Yuwen to announce the start of the banquet.

At this time, the civil and military officials below all wanted to take this opportunity to show themselves in front of the monarch through wine glasses.

Under everyone's expectation, Tian Yuwen finally announced: "Let's start, serve the wine!"

Under the order of the monarch, the long-prepared servants and maidservants took action, making the atmosphere in the entire official office gradually warmer.

The inside of the official office is very lively, but the outside of the official office is heavily guarded, with layers of soldiers guarding the monarch and civil and military officials inside.

But at this time, a sound of horseshoes sounded on the long street, making the soldiers of the Qi army on guard at the outermost perimeter stand on guard.

The appearance of horses at this time does not seem so normal.

What quickly caught the soldiers' eyes was a few soldiers of the Qi army galloping over, and they seemed to be soldiers of the summons.

Sure enough, these Qi soldiers who came on horseback dismounted outside the official office, and rushed directly to the gate of the official office.

The inside is the place where the monarch has a banquet, so how can you just say that you can enter, so these few people are controlled when they approach.

"What are you doing?" asked the officer in charge of the guard sharply.

Although he was restrained, the leader of the army was not afraid, he only heard him roar: "Let go of me, I have an urgent military message, and I must meet the king immediately!"

"What urgent military situation? Right now, Your Majesty is having a banquet with the generals, so I will see you when I have time!"

The Marquis of the Messenger was furious, and he roared, "The people of Wei in the north have already crossed the great river. If you don't report this matter to your majesty immediately, can you bear the consequences?"

These words... immediately petrified the soldiers of the Qi army guarding the scene!

Today the monarch is celebrating the defense of the great river, but now there is news that the Wei army from the north is crossing the river...

Once this news gets in, the monarch will definitely be furious, and they can't bear it.

But it is impossible for the guards to prevent these interrogators from entering, because they also cannot afford this responsibility.

"Take them to check their identities..." the captain who was guarding here ordered.

Half an hour later, the joyful banquet came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere at the scene became extremely cold.

Wei people actually crossed the river?

The thing that terrified Qi Guo the most happened. Even if Tian Yuwen was not furious, everyone present would not be happy.

Looking at the gloomy face of the monarch, no one in the room dared to speak out to comfort him. It was undoubtedly an act of courting death.

And Zhou Can, who was highly regarded by Tian Yuwen, also dared not speak at this time, no one could bear the anger of the monarch.

The hand that clenched the wine glass was constantly exerting force, which also indicated that Tian Yuwen's anger was constantly rising.

He doesn't speak, but his heart is full of anger, blame and... fear!
Yes, until now, Tian Yuwen was really scared.

Wei Jun has crossed the river, how should Qi State resist?With what to resist?

Slowly putting down the wine glass in his hand, Tian Yuwen took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Go back, I'm tired... I want to be alone for a while!"

The monarch ordered that all the civil and military officials at the scene retreated one by one after saluting Tian Yuwen.

Among them, Zhou Can, who has made great contributions, is also included.

Sitting on the throne, Tian Yuwen tried his best to calm down his mood. He knew that his thoughts should not be messed up, otherwise it would cause even greater disasters.

It's just that the people of Wei crossed the great river. Could it be that after losing the barrier of the great river, there is nothing Qi can do?

If Qin State could survive the Wei army's attack, so could Qi State. There will always be a way.

…………

Time forward to six days ago.

When the Xiangping camp launched an attack and fought with the Qi army on the south bank of the river that was more than 20 miles long, another Wei army appeared behind the Qi army.

No matter how the Xiangping camp facing the Qi army in the north was mobilized, the Qi army probably had a number of them, but they did not have this army in their consciousness.

Because this extra army is not any one under the jurisdiction of Liu Xuanba and Zheng Chang, they are from Wu'an.

Yes, the [-] Wei troops that appeared on the land of Qi State were none other than the extremely elite Wei soldiers, led by Wei Wuji's confidant Zheng Dali.

The Qi army in front pressed Liu Xuanba's team to fight, but unexpectedly, this Wei army who sneaked across the river was already approaching behind them.

When the Qi army scouts found Wei Wuzu who had appeared, it was actually too late.

At this time, they were entangled by the army of the Xiangping camp, and it was definitely impossible to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and fight on both sides.

At this time, on the battlefield on the south bank of the twenty li long river, there were a total of five battlefields, and only one was attacked by soldiers from behind.

But this is enough!
