Chapter 817: The Great River is a Natural Danger 4
May 22 of the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei, in the city of Runan.
In the official office 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 was in front of the battle, and Runan was the closest place to the front line of the Qi State, and all military supplies had to be transferred from here, and at the same time, it also faced the strong military pressure of the Wei army.
But in recent days, the situation on the front line can be described as very good, and the Wei army has been driven back in disgrace in successive battles.
Therefore, at present, the army praises the monarch Tian Yuwen for his insight, and after appointing Zhou Can to preside over the front-line war, he achieved such a great victory.
And Tian Yuwen's previous appointment of Zhu Shiyuan, which led to the rout, has become unpopular under the cover of consecutive victories.
Because of this, Tian Yuwen himself was in a very good mood, so today he chose to return to Runan City, planning to celebrate with his generals.
In addition to the generals directly under Tian Yuwen, there are also the central officials of Qi who are stationed in Runan City, who are responsible for the transportation of grain and grass throughout the country.
To put it simply, the current Runan City has become the temporary court of the Qi State.
On the stairs outside the lobby of the official office, Tian Yuwen's position was placed here, and a good line of sight allowed him to have a panoramic view of the civil and military officials.
"The Wei people have suffered a lot in the past few days, how long can they persist in attacking?" Tian Yuwen said with a smile, he hadn't felt this kind of pleasure for a long time.
At this time, the closest to him was Zhou Can, who was the most in the limelight, and I saw him take over the conversation and say: "What the king said is very true, although the offensive of the Wei army is fierce, but now it has been hanging out for a long time, not only the consumption of grain and grass is huge, but the continuous fierce battle is also a great consumption of its morale and troops......
"So the minister also thinks that the people of Wei have been rampant for a long time!"
Tian Yuwen nodded, and then said, "I heard that Wei Wuji gave him a one-month deadline when he gave Zheng Chang an order......
"A month's time is fleeting, and when Zheng Chang can't teach badly, he should be kicked back to Wu'an!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Can said slowly.
But in fact, Zhou Can was not so optimistic in his heart, although he was guarding the Wei army on the opposite side at the moment, but the Wei people were not so easy to retreat.
What's more, the current Qi State is still fighting on two sides, not only Zheng Chang on the opposite side of Runan, but also the Xiangping battalion of Wei State in the north.
Not only that, but thinking that the Changping camp of Wei was also eyeing him, Zhou Can couldn't laugh at all in his heart.
Looking at the smile on the monarch's face, Zhou Can always felt that there was something missing in this smile, simply put, there was a hint of fakeness.
The monarch must know the situation of the Qi country, and it is precisely because of this situation that the monarch needs to create this kind of pleasant atmosphere and relax the soldiers and civilians of the Qi country who are in a high-pressure situation.
And 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 their faces in front of the monarch through their wine glasses.
Under the expectation of everyone, Tian Yuwen finally announced: "Let's start, serve the wine!" ”
Under the king's order, the long-prepared servants and servants took action, making the atmosphere in the entire government office gradually warm.
The official office was very lively, but outside the official office was heavily guarded, and layers of soldiers guarded the monarch and civil and military officials inside.
But at this time, a burst of horses' hooves sounded on the long street, which put the outermost guards of the Qi soldiers on guard.
The appearance of horses at this time does not seem so normal.
What soon caught the eyes of the soldiers was a few Qi soldiers who were galloping over, and it seemed that they were still the soldiers of the message.
Sure enough, after these Qi soldiers who came on horseback dismounted outside the official office, they went directly to the gate of the official office.
Inside is the place where the monarch drinks and feasts, how can it be said that you can enter, so these people are controlled when they approach.
"What for?" The officer in charge of the guard asked sharply.
Although he was restrained, the military marquis at the head was not stunned, and only heard him roar angrily: "Let go of me, I have an urgent military information transmission, and I must meet the king immediately!" ”
"What emergency military intelligence? Now that the king is having a banquet with the generals, I have time to see you! ”
The messenger Hou Dengshi was furious, only to hear him roar angrily: "In the north, the Wei people have already crossed the river, if you don't report this matter to the king immediately, can you afford the consequences?" ”
What is the ...... Immediately, the Qi soldiers who were guarding the scene were petrified!
Today, the monarch is celebrating the defense of the river, but now there is news that the Wei army from the north has crossed the river......
Once this news spreads, the monarch will definitely be furious, and they will not be able to bear it.
But it was impossible for the guards not to let the arraignes in, because they couldn't afford to do so.
"Take them to check their identities...... "The lieutenant who was guarding here ordered.
Half an hour later, the joyful banquet came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere became extremely cold.
The Wei people actually crossed the river?
The most terrifying thing for Qi Guo happened, even if Tian Yuwen was not angry, everyone present would not be happy.
Looking at the gloomy face of the monarch, no one here dared to speak out to consol him, which was undoubtedly an act of seeking death.
And Zhou Can, who was deeply valued by Tian Yu's stationery, did not dare to speak at this time, and no one could bear the wrath of the monarch.
The hand that clenched the wine glass kept exerting force, which also indicated that Tian Yuwen's anger was constantly surging.
He didn't speak, but his heart was full of anger, blame, and ...... Fear!
Yes, until now, Tian Yuwen was really scared.
The Wei army crossed the river, how should the Qi State resist? What to resist?
Slowly putting down the wine glass in his hand, Tian Yuwen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back, the widow is tired...... I want to be alone for a while! ”
The monarch ordered that the civil and military officials present were amnesty one by one, and retired in turn after saluting Tian Yuwen.
Among them, Zhou Can, who has made meritorious contributions, is also included.
Sitting on the throne, Tian Yuwen tried to calm down his mood, he knew that his thoughts could not be messed up, otherwise it would cause greater disasters.
It's just that the Wei people have crossed the big river, could it be that after losing the big river barrier, there will be no way for the Qi State?
The Qin State can survive the attack of the Wei army, and the Qi State can do the same, there will always be a way.
…………
The time was transferred to six days ago.
When the Xiangping camp launched an attack and fought with the Qi army on the south bank of the Great River, which was more than 20 miles long, another Wei army appeared in the rear of the Qi army.
No matter how the Xiangping battalion of the Qi army in the north is moved, the Qi army has roughly a number, but there is no such army in their consciousness.
Because this extra army is not any of the troops under the jurisdiction of Liu Xuanba and Zheng Chang, they are from Wu'an.
Yes, the 10,000 Wei troops who appeared on the land of Qi were none other than the elite Wei warriors, led by Wei Wuji's henchman Zheng Dali.
The Qi army in front pressed Liu Xuanba's team to fight, but unexpectedly, the Wei army, which had secretly crossed the river, had already approached behind them.
When the Qi scouts found out about the appearance of Wei Wushu, it was actually too late.
At this time, they were entangled by the army of the Xiangping battalion, and it was definitely impossible to retreat, so they could only fight on both sides.
At this time, there were about five battlefields on the south bank of the river, which was twenty miles long, and only one was attacked by the soldiers from behind.
But this is the only place that is enough!
