Chapter 833 Not Far Away

The thirteenth day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Marquis Wei.

Today is the third day of the siege of Linzi. The Chu army that had appeared in Linzi was entangled by the Wei army at this time.

As the general of the Chu army, Xiong Xian himself was very anxious, but he had nothing to do.

Ahead is the elite of the Wei State led by Marquis Wei himself. Even if they try their best to deal with it now, they will always be in danger.

"Marquis Wei is going to destroy Qi!" Xiong Xian sighed helplessly inside the military tent.

However, all the generals led their troops to guard against the Wei army, so no one could discuss with Xiong Xian at this time.

Looking at the huge map of Qi behind him, and analyzing the distribution of Wei's troops on it, Xiong Xian felt heavy and powerless.

Turning around, what he saw again was the urgent edict, which was the continuous urging of the monarch, asking him to rush to Linzi as soon as possible.

Therefore, after careful consideration, "Xiong Xian decided to divide his troops again, and on the basis of ensuring that the army led by Marquis Wei was contained, he sent troops directly to Linzi.

As for the number of troops to be sent, Xiong Xian tentatively set it at [-].

He can't bring out more troops, and it won't help if there are too few troops.

But going to Linzi is a matter of narrow escape, who to send becomes a problem, and Xiong Xian cannot be sent casually for this matter.

He, Xiong Xian, was able to make an arbitrary decision on the division of troops in Shangluo before, because he himself will go north with the army, and no one can say anything.

Sitting in the handsome position, Xiong Xian tapped the table lightly, obviously this matter was more difficult than dealing with Wei Jun.

It is true that he is the general of the Chu army, but the part of the army that is loyal to the monarch is not something he, Xiong Xian, can mess around with.

One must know that he, Xiong Xian, was alone in the army, so he was easily suspected.

While Xiong Xian was hesitating, a captain suddenly broke into the army tent and said, "General, the people of Qi sent an envoy to say that they will no longer supply the full amount of food and grass to our army!"

Hearing this, Xiong Xian stopped tapping on the table abruptly, and the situation turned even worse for the Chu army.

You must know that now that the Wu people have cut off the food and grass of the Chu army, Xiong Xian relies entirely on Qi and several small surrounding countries for supplies.

If the state of Qi reduces the grain and grass, where will the gap in grain and grass be filled?Is it going to squeeze the surrounding small countries?
Now that the Wei army is attacking fiercely, and the attitude of the surrounding small countries is also difficult to grasp, Xiong Xian is afraid that the opponent will be turned against him.

Thinking of this, Xiong Xian suddenly felt a burst of suffocation, he had never felt this way about his responsibilities.

Rubbing his forehead, Xiong Xian said weakly: "Go...invite the two generals, Chen Zhou, and say that we have important matters to discuss!"

This also shows that Xiong Xian has broken through the entanglement just now, and has made a decision on who to send to Linzi.

Now Xiong Xian has another plan. The Chu army sent out is not necessarily to support. If Linzi is defeated before then, the Chu army can also occupy some strategically important places in Qi State in time.

Xiong Xian has such an idea, which shows that he is not optimistic about the outcome of the Linzi War.

…………

A hundred miles away from Xiong Xian's military camp, the most powerful monarch in Kyushu is staying.

Wei Guo has now become the undisputed overlord of the world, and the monarch Wei Wuji has become the most powerful person in the world.

Half his life as a soldier and ten years as a king made Wei Wuji see through many things.

Therefore, although tens of thousands of Wei troops attacked Linzi in the mountains of swords and seas of fire, Wei Wuji didn't pay much attention to the process, he only cared about the final result.

As a monarch on horseback, a series of victories before and after his succession gave Wei Wuji unprecedented control over the country and the army.

So Wei Wuji didn't have to worry about being remembered in terms of military power, as long as he had that thought, he could immediately replace any of the marching generals.

But even so, there are some things Wei Wuji still seems powerless.

For example, both Zheng Chang and Liu Xuanba are attacking Linzi, and there is an obvious trend of competition between them, and it is basically impossible for them to cooperate fully.

Looking at the latest battle report received in his hands, Wei Wuji sighed slightly. It seemed impossible to take Linzi down quickly.

In fact, Wei Wuji is also under a lot of pressure now. Under the linkage of hundreds of thousands of troops, the demand for logistics supplies is a huge hole.

If the war cannot be ended within seven months, then Wei Wuji should consider withdrawing his troops.

"What's going on with the Chu people across the way?" Wei Wuji asked while sitting in the main seat, looking at the scout captain below.

Because of the strength of the Chu army on the opposite side, in order to ensure the stability of the entire battle situation, Wei Wuji did not attack it with all his strength.

But even so, only [-] heavy cavalry were enough to make it difficult for the Chu army to move forward.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Chu army is as usual, and there is no change!" The captain below replied.

The Chu people did not move, Wei Wuji wondered if they had not received the news from Linzi, but this possibility was very small.

At this critical juncture, nothing can be sloppy at all, so Wei Wuji scouted out: "Remember, we must keep a close eye on the Chu people, and don't be fooled by them!"

Of course the scout captain below did not dare to refute, so he listened to his answer: "The minister will pass the order!"

After the captain left, Wei Wuji stretched himself, then lay down on the chair and fell asleep.

Wei Wuji is different from Tian Yuwen, he is now in control of everything and has taken the initiative, so he has time to relax.

After simply arranging surveillance of the Chu army, Wei Wuji naturally relaxed at the moment.

"Submit the report from Wu'an yesterday!" Wei Wuji said to the servants on the left and right.

Although he is marching and fighting now, Wei Wuji himself is far away from the battlefield, so his daily life is taken care of by his servants.

But after Wei Wuji left, the person who sent these servants was Wei Empress Cao Xin, so these people also had a certain tendency.

Therefore, when they took out the report from Wu'an, they also brought Cao Xin's letter with them.

The monarch just said to bring the report from Wu'an, and Mrs. Jun's letter also came from Wu'an, so naturally it should appear in front of the monarch.

In fact, many of Wei Wuji's wives and concubines wrote to him during the half a year after he left, but most of them Wei Wuji didn't see.

It's not that the servants have the guts to intercept, but they put the concubine's letter at the bottom, which is difficult for Wei Wuji to reach.

The letters were divided into several piles and placed in front of Wei Wuji. As usual, he picked up the first one from the pile on the left of the crime.

Then came the second report, which was a report from the Prime Minister's Mansion, briefly reporting on the preparations for the autumn harvest.

Then came the third letter, a letter from Mrs. Jun Cao Xin.

Wei Wuji couldn't help being taken aback, why is Cao Xin's letter in the third place?

If Wei Wuji could have such an idea, he would know that this kind of thing had happened many times, otherwise he would not be able to remember it.

But this is not the time to attack, so he had a whim, wanting to see if there are other wives and concubines writing to him.

So he picked up the report one by one, and put it down after looking at the signature on it.

It was only when he saw the seven copies of No.80 that he discovered the word "Ji Wanyue", and after that... it was the signatures of other concubines in the palace.

I don't know if I don't read it, I was shocked when I saw it... It turns out that even the placement of this memorial is hidden intrigue.

And Wei Wuji suddenly understood that he had not yet achieved absolute control over his surroundings. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to control Wei Guo?
Even if it is a humble servant, he should absolutely obey himself, and not work for other masters... Wei Wuji thought so.

So he said to the servants, "Who is the foreman today?"

Then a servant stepped out from Wei Wuji's side, and he bowed down and said, "Report to Your Majesty, it's the servant foreman on duty!"

Wei Wuji picked up the letter belonging to Cao Xin, and said in a deep voice, "Are you here to serve the widow, or did Madam send you to serve the widow?"

This is very metaphorical, but these servants are not human, knowing that it is difficult to answer.

Believing that these people were sensible, Wei Wuji said coldly, "I don't want to see you again on this matter, otherwise you will go back to the palace!"

The attendants in the arena were terrified. Although the monarch didn't show much anger, just such a question made them die.
