Wei Wuhou

Chapter 832 The Great War Begins

(Recently busy with work, please forgive me!)
The large-scale mobilization of the Wei army outside the city caused the whole Linzi to panic.

Now it has come to the critical moment for the survival of the Qi State. In comparison, the overthrow of the Zhou family is insignificant.

The banquet ended ahead of schedule, and all the ministers attending the banquet rushed back to their posts without stopping. Guarding Linzi required their joint efforts.

The Wei army is approaching menacingly. Whether they want to attack Linzi by force or pretend to attack, the Qi army needs to be prepared and prepare for the worst.

There was tension in the city, and Tian Yuwen, who lived in the palace, was also restless.

Don't think he has the courage to stand up to the wall in front of his courtiers, but he also has no confidence in his heart.

The strength between Qi State and Wei State is too great, and it is not possible to bridge the gap with courage.

Although the Wei army is only mobilized now and has not launched a large-scale attack, Tian Yuwen can't sit still in the palace.

So he put on the armor again, and after ordering the guards, he was going out of the palace, but he met his wife Zhuge Ling on the way.

Zhuge Ling came alone, without a maid, so Tian Yuwen had no choice but to dismiss the guards.

The two of them just walked in the palace road like this, and the setting sun in the distance was setting in the west, stretching the figures of the two of them very long.

The two walked like this, Tian Yuwen temporarily put aside the idea of ​​going out of the palace to see, just enjoying a moment of peace.

At this time, no one dared to disturb the solitude of the monarch and his wife, so they never met a single person along the way.

"Madam is there something?" Tian Yuwen asked first.

Zhuge Ling was half a body behind, but now he stopped and said: "I just came to see if I could be of any help!"

Tian Yuwen turned around, looked at his wife's face for a long time, and then said: "Madam, do you also think that our country of Qi has reached a point of doom? We already need a woman to solve the crisis?"

Although Tian Yuwen said these words calmly, the meaning in them was unprecedentedly sharp, Zhuge Ling froze in place when he heard it.

In her memory, it had been a long time since she had seen her husband with such an attitude, but she didn't have much fear.

Zhuge Ling leaned slightly and said: "How dare I, I just see that your majesty is worried about the country, and I am worried about it!"

It was precisely Zhuge Ling's peaceful answer that made Tian Yuwen realize that he shouldn't turn the pressure into anger towards his wife.

So Tian Yuwen sighed and said: "It's the widow who made a mistake!"

Seeing her husband's decadent appearance, Zhuge Ling also felt distressed, so she could understand Tian Yuwen's mood.

"Your Majesty, I am a woman, so I can't help you much!" Zhuge Ling said sadly.

Tian Yuwen felt that Zhuge Ling had such a heart, which was more caring than any sweet talk in the harem.

I saw Tian Yuwen approached two steps, supported Zhuge Ling's shoulders and said: "Madam just needs to take care of our children and wait for the widow to come back here is enough!"

Seeing her husband's appearance in armor, Zhuge Ling knew that he might not be able to come back after going there for two days.

So before parting, Zhuge Ling solemnly said to Tian Yuwen: "I am in the palace, waiting for the king to return in triumph!"

A warm current surged in Tian Yuwen's heart, and at this moment he suddenly felt a little immobile.

But this kind of thought is fleeting, he is not only the husband of the woman in front of him, but also the father of millions of soldiers and civilians in Qi country. Now he can only go to the front line.

"Okay, then you just wait for the widow to return home!" Tian Yuwen also solemnly said.

After saying this, Tian Yuwen turned around and left immediately, he was afraid that he would hesitate again.

Watching her husband leave, Zhuge Ling stood there for a long time.

Although she is a girl, she is by no means deaf to what is going on outside the window. She also understands how serious Wei Jun's attack is.

Therefore, while worrying about her husband Tian Yuwen, she also worried about the country where she was born and raised.

…………

At the head of Linzi city, the soldiers of the Qi army were waiting in full battle. At this time, they could even see the smoke and dust of the Wei army marching in the distance.

But it seems that the Wei army is not yet ready to launch a general offensive, so although its mobilization is frequent, no vanguard has emerged.

The soldiers below couldn't figure out the situation, and the generals of the Qi army also felt relieved, because everyone knew that the general situation was on the side of Wei.

Although the monarch's speech at the banquet is very reasonable, but the gap in strength is still there, it is as difficult as the sky for Qi to win.

"Report... Wei's army raided the south gate!"

When everyone focused on the two directions to the northwest, no one thought that Wei Jun would really go around to the south to launch an attack.

Although it is a good tactic to attack east and west, it seems stingy to use it at this time.

That's right, the Qi army focused its energy on the northwest sides, but the defense on the southeast sides also did not relax.

Therefore, the Wei army who raided the south gate of Linzi did not make much progress, but the battle was in a state of anxiety.

After hearing this, Tian Yuwen, who had just come out of the palace, rushed directly to the south gate, and he wanted to personally supervise the battle.

Every time he commanded a battle, as the monarch, he was left far behind, but this time the Wei army had come to Linzi, and he had no way to retreat.

If the monarch wants to go to the south gate, the accompanying generals will definitely not agree.

The so-called son of a thousand gold does not sit in the court, let alone the king of a country, Nanmen is in the midst of a battle with the Wei army, and the danger is even greater. What if there is a mistake when the king is gone?
Tian Yuwen didn't get angry, he just said to the generals and ministers around him: "Masters, if the city of Linzi is destroyed, I will also die for the country..."

"And if the defenders at the south gate are brave and tenacious, and repel the Wei army's attack, how can the widow be in danger?"

"Could it be that you think that Linzi City is not safe? If that's the case, what's the use of Linzi City protecting him?"

The reason for this statement is not very sufficient, but at this time all the officials did not say a word, obviously they did not dare to disobey Tian Yuwen's will again.

Is this what it's like to run a country?Tian Yuwen thought to himself, but at the same time it was full of bitterness.

When the Qi State was strong and prosperous, as a monarch, he could not make the country move like a wave of his arms, but he achieved it in this precarious time.

None of the officials objected, Tian Yuwen rushed to the south gate of Linzi surrounded by the guards.

Along the way, Tian Yuwen didn't hear the sound of other living things on the street, except for the shouts of killing in the distance and the sound of the surrounding brigades marching.

Although Tian Yuwen lived deep in the palace, he knew that Linzi should have been prosperous and lively, but all of this was completely destroyed after the arrival of Wei Jun.

Such a scene frightened Tian Yuwen more than the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood on the battlefield. It represented that the prosperity of Linzi achieved by the previous kings of Qi had collapsed under his hands.

Under such desperate thoughts, some people may be directly crushed, but some people will use their last courage to gamble to survive from desperation.

Tian Yuwen was like this. He held the sword on his waist while riding on the horse, and said to himself at the same time in his heart: Even if everything else has been lost, Linzi must not be defeated by the Wei people.

Unless, he dies!
The battle at the South Gate was at a fierce time, not only the soldiers of the Qi Army, but also the young and strong people in Linzi City also joined the battle.

The soldiers resisted the attack on the city wall, while the young and strong carried all kinds of things, including weapons, arrows, stones, rolling logs...

No one knew what the generals of the Wei army were planning. Although the attack seemed powerful, it didn't last very long. When Tian Yuwen arrived at the scene, the Wei army had already retreated.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be here, it's too dangerous!" Zhou Can, the first-line commander, said to Tian Yuwen.

Tian Yuwen stood expressionless on the city wall, staring intently at the retreating soldiers of the Wei army in the distance.

This was also the first time he was really on the front line of the battle, and the city walls he stepped on were covered with corpses.

"Linzi has been besieged, so what difference does it make where the widows stay?" Tian Yuwen asked rhetorically.

This...Zhou Can really can't think of a response.

"The Wei army is approaching menacingly, can our army stop it?" Tian Yuwen asked.

How dare Zhou Can say such words, so he replied: "Your Majesty, as long as our army is united as one, and your Majesty's wise command, we will be safe from blocking the Wei army!"

These unconstructive words made Tian Yuwen understand that he was not very sure about keeping Linzi Zhou Can.

"The widow ordered the counties to send reinforcements quickly, where are their reinforcements?" Tian Yuwen said angrily.

Zhou Can couldn't help but sighed, and then heard him say: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements from all counties have been stopped by the Wei Army, even the Changning Army is no exception!"

The Changning Army is the army of the Qi State. It was the elite when the Qi State was strong, and now it is the most powerful existence in the Qi State.

It's just that, because the old Duke of Qi came suddenly, there were problems in the handover of this army, so it has been dominated by the elders of the Duke of Qi.

After the Qi family was overthrown, what Tian Yuwen hated the most were his uncles who held military power.

A few days ago, under the successive victories of the Wei Army, the Changning Army was transferred by these people to stop the Wei Army, but they were entangled by the Wei Army and it was difficult to escape.

With Zhou Can's mention, Tian Yuwen's anger can be imagined.
