(I've been busy lately, so please forgive me!) ）

The large-scale mobilization of the Wei army outside the city caused the entire Linzi to fall into a panic.

Now it has reached a critical time for the survival of the Qi State, and in comparison, the overthrow of the Zhou family is insignificant.

The banquet ended early, and the ministers who went to the banquet rushed back to their posts non-stop, and guarding Linzi required their joint efforts.

The Wei army was menacing, and whether they wanted to storm Linzi or make a feint, the Qi army needed to be prepared for the worst.

There was a nervous look in the city, and Tian Yuwen, who lived in the palace, was also uneasy.

Don't look at him as having the courage to fight against the odds in front of his courtiers, but he also has no bottom in his heart.

The strength between Qi and Wei is too great, and it is not enough to make up for the gap with courage.

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

So he changed into armor again, and after giving the order to the guards, he was about to leave the palace, but he met his wife Zhuge Ling halfway.

Zhuge Ling came alone and didn't bring a maid, so Tian Yuwen had to wave off the guards.

The two of them walked in the palace road like this, and the sunset in the distance was setting, pulling the two of them into a long shadow.

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

At this time, no one dared to disturb the solitude of the monarch and his wife, so none of them met along the way.

"Madame is here?" Tian Yuwen spoke first.

Zhuge Ling was half a body behind, and at this time he stopped and said, "The concubine body is just here to see if she can help anything!" ”

Tian Yuwen turned around and looked at his wife's face for a while before he said, "Madame, do you also think that my Qi country has reached a place of no return?" Already need a woman to solve the problem? ”

Although Tian Yuwen said these words calmly, the meaning was unprecedentedly sharp, and Zhuge Ling was stunned 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 did not have much fear.

I saw Zhuge Ling bowing slightly and said: "How dare you concubine, just see that the king is worried about the country, and I am worried in my heart!" ”

It was Zhuge Ling's calm answer that made Tian Yuwen wake up at once, he shouldn't turn the pressure into anger against his wife.

So I heard Tian Yuwen sigh and said: "It's a widow who has lost his words!" ”

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

"Your Majesty, the concubine is a woman, and she can't help much!" Zhuge Ling said gloomily.

Zhuge Ling has such a heart, Tian Yuwen feels that it is enough, which is more intimate than any more sweet words in the harem.

I saw Tian Yuwen take two steps closer, hold Zhuge Ling's shoulder and say, "Madame, as long as you take care of our children, it's enough to wait here for the widow to come back!"

Seeing her husband's appearance in armor, Zhuge Ling knew that she might not be able to come back in the next two days.

So before parting, Zhuge Ling said solemnly to Tian Yuwen: "The concubine is in the palace, waiting for the triumphant return of the king!"

Tian Yuwen's heart was warm, and at this moment, he suddenly couldn't take a step.

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 State, he can only go to the front line now.

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

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

Seeing her husband leave, Zhuge Ling stood in place for a long time.

Although she is a woman, she is by no means blind to what is happening outside the window, and she also understands how serious the Wei army's attack is.

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 head of Linzi City, the Qi soldiers were waiting for them, and at this time they could even see the smoke and dust of the Wei army marching in the distance.

However, it seems that the Wei army is not ready to launch a general attack, so although it moves frequently, no vanguard troops have emerged.

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

Although the monarch's speech at the banquet was very reasonable, the gap in strength was still there, and it was difficult for Qi to win.

"Report ...... The Wei army raided the south gate! ”

When everyone's attention was focused on the northwest and northwest directions, no one expected that the Wei army would really go around to the south and launch an attack.

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

It is true that the Qi army focused its main efforts on the northwest and northwest sides, but the defense of the southeast side was also not relaxed.

Therefore, the Wei army, which raided the south gate of Linzi, did not make much progress, and the war was in a scorching state.

After hearing about 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 a monarch, he was far behind, but this time the Wei army hit Linzi, and he had no way to retreat.

The monarch wanted to go to the south gate, and the accompanying generals would definitely not agree.

The so-called son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, not to mention the king of a country, the south gate is in the middle of a war with the Wei army, and the danger is even more serious, what if the monarch goes to have a mistake?

Tian Yuwen didn't get angry, he just said to the generals and ministers around him: "Zhuqing, if Linzi City is broken, the widow should also be martyred......

"And if the defenders of the South Gate are brave and tenacious and repel the attack of the Wei army, how can the widows be in danger?"

"Do you think it's not safe in this Linzi City? In this case, what is the use of this Linzi City to protect him? ”

The reason for this is not very sufficient, but at this time, the ministers did not say a word, obviously not daring to disobey Tian Yuwen's will again.

Is this what it's like to be in control of a country? Tian Yuwen said secretly in his heart, but at the same time, he was full of bitterness.

When the country of Qi was strong, as the monarch, he could not make the country wave his arms, but he achieved it at this stormy time.

None of the ministers objected, and Tian Yuwen rushed to the south gate of Linzi under the heavy support of the guards.

Along the way, apart from hearing the shouts of killing in the distance and the sound of the people and horses marching around him, Tian Yuwen didn't hear the sound of other living creatures on the street.

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

Such a scene made Tian Yuwen feel more frightened than the mountain of corpses and blood on the battlefield, which represented the prosperity of Linzi achieved by the ancestors of the Qi State in the past dynasties, and it had collapsed in his hands.

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

Tian Yuwen is like this, riding on a horse, he held down the sword at his waist, 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 fierce, and not only the Qi soldiers were here, but also the young men in Linzi City were also engaged in the battle.

The soldiers fended off the attack on the city walls, and the young men carried all kinds of things, including weapons, arrows, stones, and rolling logs......

No one knew what the Wei generals were planning, although this attack seemed to be powerful, but its duration was not very long, and 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, who was in command on the front line, said to Tian Yuwen.

Tian Yuwen was expressionless, standing on the city wall, he couldn't take his eyes off the retreating Wei soldiers in the distance.

This was also the first time he was actually on the front line of the battle, and the walls he stepped on were full of corpses.

"Linzi has been besieged, what difference does it make if the widow stays?" Tian Yuwen asked rhetorically.

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

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

How dare Zhou Can say this, so he replied: "Your Excellency, as long as our army is united, and then there is a wise transfer from the monarch, it will be safe to block the Wei army!" ”

These unconstructive words made Tian Yuwen white, and he was not too sure about holding 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 sighing, and then listened to him: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements from all counties have been blocked by the Wei army, even the Changning army is no exception!" ”

The Changning Army is the soldier of the Qi State, and it was the elite when the Qi State was strong, and now it is the strongest existence in the Qi State.

It's just that because the old Duke of Qi was suddenly at the beginning, there were problems in the handover of this army, so it has always been controlled by the elders of the Qi State Office.

After the overthrow of the Qi family, Tian Yuwen hated him the most about his uncles who held military power.

A few days ago, under the successive victories of the Wei army, the Changning army was transferred out by these people to block the Wei army, but it was difficult to get out of being entangled by the Wei army.

After Zhou Can mentioned this, Tian Yuwen's anger in his heart can be imagined.
