Chapter 832 The Great War Begins
(Please forgive me for your busy work recently!)
The large-scale mobilization of the Wei army outside the city caused the entire Linzi to panic.
Now it is the critical moment for the survival of Qi State. In comparison, the overturn of the Zhou family is insignificant.
The banquet ended early, and the ministers who attended the banquet rushed back to their posts without stopping. The guarding of Linzi required their joint efforts.
The Wei army was coming in full force. Whether they wanted to attack Linzi or make feints, the Qi army needed to be on guard and make the worst plans.
The city was filled with nervousness, and Tian Yuwen, who lived in the palace, was as restless as ever.
Although he had the courage to fight against the enemy in front of his ministers, he was also unsure.
The strength between Qi and Wei is too great, and it is not possible to make up for the gap just by having the courage.
Although the Wei army is only mobilizing and has not launched a large-scale attack, Tian Yuwen can't sit still in the palace.
So he changed into armor again and ordered the guard to leave the palace, but he met his wife Zhuge Ling halfway.
Zhuge Ling came alone and did not bring his maids, so Tian Yuwen had to wave away the guards.
The two of them walked in the palace road like this, and the sunset in the distance was setting, making them look old.
The two of them walked like this, and Tian Yuwen temporarily put aside the idea of leaving the palace to see it, and just enjoyed a moment of peace.
At this time, no one dared to disturb the solitude of the king and his wife, so they had never met anyone along the way.
"Madam, have something to do?" Tian Yuwen said.
Zhuge Ling was half a body behind, and at this time he stopped and said, "I'm just here to see if I can help you!"
Tian Yuwen turned around and looked at his wife's face for a while before saying, "Madam, do you also feel that my Qi Kingdom has arrived at a place of irreparable consequences? I already need a woman to solve the dangers and solve the problem?"
Although Tian Yuwen said this calmly, the meaning was unprecedentedly sharp, and Zhuge Ling was stunned.
In her impression, she hadn't seen her husband with such an attitude for a long time, but she was not afraid.
Zhuge Ling bowed slightly and said, "How dare I? I just saw that you are worried about the country and are worried about it!"
It was Zhuge Ling's peaceful answer that made Tian Yuwen wake up suddenly, and he shouldn't turn the pressure into anger at his wife.
So Tian Yuwen sighed, "I'm just saying a word!"
Seeing her husband's decadent appearance, Zhuge Ling felt a little distressed, so she could understand Tian Yuwen's mood.
"Your Majesty, I'm a woman, and I can't help you!" Zhuge Ling said sadly.
Tian Yuwen felt that Zhuge Ling had such a heart, which was enough. It was more considerate than the sweet words in the harem.
Tian Yuwen walked two steps closer, held Zhuge Ling's shoulder and said, "Madam, as long as you take good care of our children and wait for me to come back here!"
Seeing her husband wearing armor, Zhuge Ling knew that he might not be able to come back in the past two days after he went there.
So before parting, Zhuge Ling said solemnly to Tian Yuwen: "I am in the palace, waiting for you to return triumphantly!"
Tian Yuwen's heart was filled with warmth, and at this moment he suddenly couldn't take any steps.
But this kind of thought was fleeting. He was not only the husband of the woman in front of him, but also the king and father of the millions of soldiers and civilians of Qi. He could only go to the front line now.
"Okay, then you'll wait for me to return!" Tian Yuwen said solemnly.
After saying this, Tian Yuwen turned around and left, afraid that he would hesitate any more.
Watching her husband leave, Zhuge Ling stood there for a long time.
Although she is a female, she is definitely not deaf ears to the outside world. She also understands how serious the Wei army's attack was.
Therefore, while worrying about her husband Tian Yuwen, she is also worried about the country that gave birth to her and raised her.
…………
At the top of Linzi city, the soldiers of Qi were on high alert. 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 ready to launch a general attack, so although it is frequently mobilized, no vanguard has emerged.
The soldiers below were not sure about the situation, and the generals of the Qi army were also in their hearts, because everyone knew that the general trend was on the side of Wei.
Although the king's speech at the banquet was very reasonable, the gap in strength was still there, and Qi State could not win as if it were as high as the sky.
"Report... the Wei army raided the South Gate!"
When everyone focused on the northwest direction, no one expected that the Wei army would really go around the south to launch an attack.
Although it is a good tactic to play against the east and the west, it seems stingy when you use it at this time.
That's right, the Qi army focused on both sides of the northwest, but the defense of the southeast was also not relaxed.
Therefore, the Wei army that raided the southern gate of Linzi did not make much progress, and the war 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 supervise the battle himself.
Every time he commanded a battle, as the king, he was far behind, but this time the Wei army came to Linzi, and he had no choice but to retreat.
The king was going to the south gate, but the accompanying generals would definitely not agree.
The so-called son of a thousand gold does not sit in the hutang, let alone the king of a country. The southern gate is fighting with the Wei army, and the danger is even more intense. What if there is a mistake when the king goes?
Tian Yuwen did not get angry. He just said to the generals and ministers around him: "If Linzi City is destroyed, I will sacrifice my life for my country..."
"If the guards of the South Gate are brave and tenacious and repel the attack of the Wei army, how can I be in danger?"
"Do you think it's not safe in Linzi City? Since that's the case, what's the point of protecting him in Linzi City?"
This is not very reasonable, but the ministers did not speak at this time, obviously they did not dare to disobey Tian Yuwen's will.
This is the feeling of controlling the country? Tian Yuwen said in his heart, but at the same time it was full of bitterness.
When Qi was strong, as the monarch, he could not let the country be like a waving arm, but it was achieved at this time of storm.
No one opposed the ministers. surrounded by the guards, Tian Yuwen rushed to the south gate of Linzi.
Along the way, Tian Yuwen could not hear the sound of other living creatures on the street except for the sound of shouting and killing in the distance and the sound of the surrounding brigades marching.
Although Tian Yuwen lived deep in the palace, he knew the prosperity and excitement that Linzi should have, but all of this was destroyed after the arrival of the Wei army.
Such a scene made Tian Yuwen feel more frightened than the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield. This represents the prosperity of Linzi achieved by the ancestors of Qi throughout the ages, which has collapsed in his hands.
Under such desperate thoughts, some people may be directly defeated, but some people will use their last courage to take advantage of their fate.
This is true for Tian Yuwen. He rode on the horse and held the sword around his waist, and said to himself in his heart: Even if everything else has been lost, Linzi must not be defeated by the Wei people.
Unless, he dies!
The battle between the South Gate was fierce. Not only were there soldiers of Qi, but the young and strong people in Linzi City also joined the battle.
The soldiers resisted attacks and killings on the city walls, while the young and strong carried various objects, including weapons, arrows, rocks, and rolling wood...
No one knew what the Wei generals had planned. Although the attack seemed powerful, it did not last very long. When Tian Yuwen arrived at the scene, the Wei army retreated.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be here, it's too dangerous!" Zhou Can, who was in charge of the front line, told Tian Yuwen Dao.
Tian Yuwen stood on the city wall with expressionless expression, staring at the retreating Wei soldiers in the distance.
This was his first time. He was truly on the front line of war, and the city walls he stepped on were full of corpses.
"Linzi has been besieged, so what is the difference between where I am?" Tian Yuwen asked back.
This... Zhou Can really couldn't think of a response.
"The Wei army is coming in full force. Can our army stop it?" Tian Yuwen asked.
How dare Zhou Can say this? So he replied: "Your Majesty, as long as my army is united, and if you are wisely transferred, you can protect you from the Wei army!"
These unconstructive words made Tian Yuwen understand that he was not very sure of defending Linzi Zhou Can.
"I told the county to send reinforcements quickly. Where are their reinforcements?" Tian Yuwen said angrily.
Zhou Can couldn't help but sigh, and then listened to him: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements of all counties were blocked by the Wei army, and even the Changning army was no exception!"
The Changning Army was a soldier of the Duke of Qi. It was the elite when Qi was prosperous. Now it is the strongest existence in Qi.
However, because the old Duke Qi suddenly had problems with the handover of this army, it was always controlled by the elders of the Duke Qi State.
After the overthrow of the Qi clan, Tian Yuwen hated the most were his uncles who held military power.
A few days ago, the Wei army won consecutive victories, and the Changning army was transferred out by these people to block the Wei army, but they did not expect that they were entangled by the Wei army and could not get out.
