(I’ve been very busy recently, so I don’t even have the chance to turn on the computer, so the update has been lost. I hope the book friends will understand it! After all, supporting a family is the most important thing!)

In April of the 18th year of the Marquis of Wei, the land of Lu State was a month of war.

Hundreds of miles southeast of Qufu, nearly 200,000 troops of the two major countries of Qi and Wei fought, turning this fertile land that had been calm for decades into a battlefield full of corpses.

But in the hearts of the people of Lu, as long as either side of Qi and Wei wins, the war will end and they can live a peaceful life again.

After April 18, the Qi people were indeed defeated, and the Wei people drove the Qi people completely to the south of the river in the next few days.

The land of Lu was completely under the control of Wei, but the war was not as late as the Lu people expected. The Wei army was lined up on the north bank of the river and actually seemed to be crossing the river.

After five days of preparation, on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, the Wei army mobilized ships on the north shore and began a large-scale attack on Qi State.

Although it was a large-scale attack, it was a landing battle after all, and the Wei army invested relatively limited troops each time.

Although the Qi army camp on the south bank of the Great River has successfully driven the Wei army back to the north bank in recent days, the Qi army soldiers are still not happy.

The river is already the last line of defense in Qi, which they must not lose. This makes the hearts of the soldiers of Qi keep tense. How can they be happy?

In the military tent, Tian Yuwen carefully looked at the mountains of documents in front of him. Not only did military information come from all over the country, but also the national economy and people's livelihood issues of Qi.

After several months of marching, although Tian Yuwen did not fight with his soldiers, he still lost a lot of weight when he went to war.

After the defeat in the Battle of Lu, Tian Yuwen's temperament changed a lot, but he was much more stable than before.

Strictly speaking, it is ridiculous for people in Tian Yuwen who are in their thirties to talk about steadiness at this time, but in fact it is.

The eunuch in the military tent stood beside Zhou Can. Because he had made great contributions to leading his troops into the battlefield, Zhou Can now become Tian Yuwen Yizhong and was able to participate in the affairs of the military commander and Privy Council.

"Your Majesty, the conditions here are difficult, so you should move to Runan City!" Zhou Can said.

Tian Yuwen seemed to be unresolved, but he just continued to look at the document in his hand, his brows still frowned.

Runan City is just twenty miles south of the Qi army camp, not far from the front line, but the conditions are definitely better than those in the military camp.

Zhou Can suggested that Tian Yuwen move to Runan, which was also for the sake of the king's life. He was a great loyal minister.

However, Tian Yuwen still had the heart to enjoy it at this time. The river was the last natural danger of Qi, and protecting this natural danger was the most important thing.

"Zhou Qing, the Wei army in Lu has been attacking continuously in recent days. Although it is a small-scale team, if it does not respond with all its strength, it can cause a disaster!" Tian Yuwen said slowly.

Zhou Can nodded and said, "What the Lord said is very much, according to my opinion... The Wei army's recent attacks were all feints. The real attack moment has not yet arrived. That is the time to test our soldiers of the Great Qi!"

Zhou Can said this, Tian Yuwen knew it well. The generals in the army had mentioned this to him many times.

He picked up a report next to him and Tian Yuwen gave it to Zhou Can and said, "Look, this is the news from Hualin County, and the camp of the Wei army's Xiangping was also moving!"

Hearing this, Zhou Can suddenly felt nervous. At this time, Qi was already facing great pressure. If the Wei army even pressed the Xiangping camp, the pressure on Qi army would be even greater.

Just when Zhou Can took the memorial and read it carefully, he saw Tian Yuwen picking up another memorial report: "And this, this is the news from the south, and the Changping Camp of Wei State is also preparing for the battle!"

If the news just now only made Zhou Can feel heavy, he would only feel despair at this time.

The three armies of the Wei army moved, with a total force of 270,000 to 80,000, which was close to the sum of the national defense forces of Qi.

How can I fight this battle? The Wei army is coming in full force. Is Qi really going to follow in the footsteps of Qin? Zhou Can thought of this in his heart.

No matter what he was thinking, Zhou Can still firmly said at this time: "Your Majesty, although the Wei army is coming in a fierce manner, I will fight to the death and repay you for your kindness!"

Showing loyalty is the basic quality of a qualified minister. Zhou Can is brave in war and is not vague in becoming an official.

So, at this time, I heard Tian Yuwen say: "You have made great contributions in Lu. I am willing to use you as the front line to be responsible for preventing the attacks of Wei people in Lu. Do you have any doubts?"

If Tian Yuwen could give Zhou Can this opportunity a month ago, he would guarantee that he would wake up in his dreams, but at this time this opportunity would be like a hot potato.

Responsible for preventing the attacks of the Wei people. Although there are natural dangers in the river, how could the Wei people be so easy for them to guard against?

It would be fine if it succeeded. If there were any mistakes, it would become a country's sinner. No matter what contributions he had made before, he would not be able to save his family's life.

Zhu Shiyuan was dismissed from his position because he was supported by a clan behind him, but what was behind Zhou Can? Nothing!

Instinctively, Zhou Can wanted to refuse this job and let him help him, but it is absolutely impossible to take on this responsibility.

But before he could speak, Tian Yuwen said, "Zhou Qing, now the country is in danger, and I have no good generals under my command. Only you can entrust the important task!"

Tian Yuwen's words were sincere and made Zhou Can unable to find a reason to refuse. The most important thing is that the king has put his words to this point, and he cannot refuse.

So, after a few seconds of silence, Zhou Can bowed and said, "Your Majesty is trusted, I am grateful!"

"The war on the front line is full of dangers. If there is any accident in my memory, I hope the emperor will take good care of my wife, children and parents!"

Zhou Can said such words and had already developed ambition to die. Because for him, if he could not win, he would die. Only by dying his own family could he live.

To be honest, Tian Yuwen was helpless when forcing Zhou Can to this situation. Faced with the request made by his ministers, he could only agree.

"Don't worry, I will not treat the meritorious ministers unfairly!" Tian Yuwen said in a deep voice.

This is also meaningful, as if warning Zhou Can, you must make contributions so that you can keep your wife and parents happy.

Just as the monarch and ministers were about to discuss specific defense matters, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the military tent, which made Tian Yuwen and others feel a sense of badness.

Sure enough, a military officer broke into the tent and knelt down and said, "Report to the Lord, the Wei army is attacking, and nearly thirty large ships and nearly a hundred small boats are coming across the river!"

This is the largest attack by the Wei army in recent days!

For a time, Tian Yuwen and Zhou Can both came up with such a judgment.

The key to the matter is not these visible Wei troops. The Qi army always has the means and ability to drive them down the river bank.

Therefore, the attacks of those Wei troops who did not appear on the battlefield were the most worrying.

"The Wei army is not good, Zhou Qing... Since I have handed over the command power to you, it is time for you to go ahead to command the army!" Tian Yuwen said in a low voice.

"It is true that the Wei army is strong, but our Da Qi also has elite warriors... If we can take advantage of the natural danger of the river and continuously consume the Wei army's troops, food, and morale, then our Da Qi will never have the chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Seeing the attack on the Wei army as an opportunity to eliminate the opponent, Zhou Can's mentality changed a little when he heard this, and even his pressure was reduced a lot at that moment.

If you look at the same thing from different perspectives and angles, you will draw different conclusions and develop different mentalities.
