Wei Wuhou

Chapter 824

The news that the army of Wei was mobilized and the progress of the Chu army was blocked quickly spread to Tian Yuwen'er.

Now that the Qi army has suffered successive setbacks, Tian Yuwen, as the monarch, is naturally in a very bad mood, and this news undoubtedly makes him even worse.

In fact, he got the news when the army of Wei army was assembled. Such a big battle made him think that Wei Wuji was coming for Linzi and his Tian Yuwen.

But when the Chu people were restrained, Tian Yuwen realized that he was wrong, and Wei Wuji was going for the Chu people.

Now that the Wei army is attacking fiercely, Tian Yuwen is a little bit overwhelmed to be honest, so he is waiting for reinforcements from the Chu people to rescue him.

For this reason, he abandoned the prestige of a great country and agreed to the army of Chu State entering Qi State.

But now the Chu people who had high hopes could not come, Tian Yuwen's disappointment can be imagined.

When he thought of the army of Wei State hundreds of miles away, he felt a tremor in his heart, and even despaired.

"In just a few months, the city lost its land, and the army was repeatedly defeated. How can I see the ancestors of the Great Qi!" Tian Yuwen sat in the hall of Qi Palace in Linzi and laughed at himself.

At this time, he couldn't help but think back to his life. Except for the time when he accidentally became the prince and made him happy, the rest of the time was spent in conspiracy and calculation.

But he has been busy with conspiracies and tricks for most of his life, but now he has achieved nothing, and even defeated a large area of ​​Qi State.

Inside the main hall, the servants and maids who served were all trembling, and they couldn't understand the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

In this short period of one month, more than a dozen servants and maidservants lost their lives due to trivial matters, which shows how tyrannical Tian Yuwen is now.

At this moment, a servant stepped into the hall carefully and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang Hao is asking to see you outside!"

Zhang Hao is the spy chief who specially mentions Tian Yuwen to inquire about internal and external news. Since he met him in person, there must be something important.

Thinking of this, Tian Yuwen immediately said: "Show him in!"

It's just that Tian Yuwen was also a little uneasy at this time, because he didn't know whether the news Zhang Hao brought was good or bad. Although he hoped for good news, his intuition told him that there should be no good news.

When Zhang Hao stepped into the hall, Tian Yuwen's guess came to fruition, because Zhang Hao had a bitter face at this time.

After Zhang Hao made a salutary visit, he didn't know what to say next.

Tian Yuwen was very open-minded, and only heard him ask: "Tell me, is there any bad news? Did our army lose again, or did it run out of food and grass again?"

It stands to reason that Tian Yuwen's expectations in his heart are already very low, and Zhang Hao should feel that things are easier to handle, but at this moment he still hasn't figured out how to speak.

Because what he was going to talk about today had such huge consequences that it would shake the foundation of Qi.

The state of Qi is in turmoil now, and Zhang Hao will tell the monarch more bad news at this time. Thinking about it, he feels that it is not happy to be looking for it.

Seeing that the monarch had a tendency to ask questions again, Zhang Hao didn't care too much at this time, so he knelt down and said: "My lord...the minister just received the news that Nanji City...has fallen!"

Hearing this, Tian Yuwen's heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and at this moment he felt short of breath, as if a big stone was pressed against his chest.

The city of Nanji fell... Although he had been mentally prepared for this, Tian Yuwen still couldn't accept it when it really happened.

The fall of Nanji City not only meant the loss of a city, but also meant that the northern line of defense of Qi State was completely destroyed, freeing up the army of Wei State's northern line to go south to attack Linzi without any worries.

Supporting himself, Tian Yuwen said, "Continue talking..."

Although Zhang Hao felt that there was no need to say more, he dismissed the idea after seeing Tian Yuwensen's cold face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Nanji City was breached by the Wei army on the morning of the first day of July. The soldiers and civilians in the city resisted desperately. In the end, no one surrendered. All the generals died for the country..."

Zhang Hao's voice continued, but Tian Yuwen's mind was no longer on it.

Nanji City is the old nest of the aristocratic family. In order to keep this county, the aristocratic family has invested almost all of their manpower and material resources.

Now that Nanji City is broken, it also means that the family power that Tian Yuwen has been fighting for more than ten years has completely become a thing of the past at this time, and can no longer hinder his monarchy.

However, at this time Tian Yuwen was not happy at all, and now he will face the huge pressure from Wei Guo alone.

"Okay, needless to say..." Tian Yuwen waved his hands and said, his voice seemed very weak.

"Go out, you all go out, I want to be alone for a while!"

Zhang Hao didn't dare to stay here any longer, and after saluting Tian Yuwen, he withdrew with the servants.

Tian Yuwen was the only one left in the hall, as if Tian Yuwen existed alone in a forgotten world.

At this moment, his mind was blank, or it could be said to be a mess, even he himself didn't know what to think.

Tian Yuwen himself was surrounded by fear and confusion, and the news of the fall of Nanji City quickly spread in Linzi City, causing even greater shocks in Linzi City.

The heads of the major clans are all in Linzi, and they couldn't sit still when they heard the news, but there was nothing they could do.

These people were able to compete with Tian Yuwen in the Linzi court hall because they had the backing of their family strength, but now they have lost that strength.

In other words, they, the rest of the family who survived the disaster, are likely to be liquidated by the monarch, and they have no way to deal with it.

People in Linzi city were panicked, and Zhou Can, who presided over the defensive battle in the north of Linzi, was also in an extremely heavy mood at this time.

Although he has enough commanding talent and Tian Yuwen's unreserved support, Zhou Can still couldn't stop Wei Jun from advancing.

Just when he had a headache and the Wei army on the opposite side was pressing every step of the way, he learned the news that Nanji City in the north had fallen, which made him feel extremely desperate.

"Could it be that the building is about to collapse if I'm in good standing?" Zhou Can thought to himself.

At this time, he was standing on the city wall, overlooking the defense line of the Wei army in the north, although he couldn't see anything with his eyesight.

"General, maybe in these two days, the Wei army may launch an attack again!" said a captain beside Zhou Can.

In fact, this is not accurate, because Wei Jun's attacks are launched every day, but most of the time they are bluffing.

"The state of Wei is strong, and even if it goes on like this, we, the state of Qi, may not be able to sustain it!" Zhou Can sighed.

At this time, it is a hell-difficult game for Qi to come back. Not only must he guard against the people of Wei, but he must also defeat the Wei army.

"I originally thought that the arrival of Chu's army would relieve the pressure on our army, but who would have thought that they would be lured away by Marquis Wei..." the captain was very disappointed.

He always thought so, but it was expected that the soldiers below would only be more pessimistic, and they all put their hopes on the help of Chu State.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal, and Zhou Can can't do anything about it. It is already very good that he can make himself not so pessimistic.

After several months of retreat, anyone will lose their confidence. It is not easy for this army to maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

But at this time Zhou Can still said to the people around him: "It's their business whether the people of Chu come or not, but it's our business how to beat the people of Wei. You should believe that our Qi country has survived for more than a hundred years. This time You can get through it too!"

"Nanji City has fallen, and the status of those who constrain us from humble backgrounds has plummeted. It's time for us to stand out!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Can said very excitedly: "Why don't I take this opportunity to make great contributions, and also win a title for myself, for the benefit of future generations!"

Not to mention, although the current situation is extremely unfavorable, Zhou Can's words are still very tempting, giving the generals below a shot in the arm.
