Early the next morning.

As soon as Tian Wen, who already had some guesses in his heart, went up to the city wall, he saw that the Qi army outside the city began to kill Xue Cheng.

"Report, your lordship, the Qi army besieges the city on three sides, leaving the west alone."

"Circle three queyi, and explore again."

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Qi army shot books into the city at the same time on three sides, and the strips of cloth were scattered all over the city, and a large number of people secretly hid the strips of cloth."

"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in the city, and the people are panicking."

Tian Wen was shocked, and then hurriedly ordered: "Pass the order, as long as the people help me defend Xue City, the king will be exempted from land taxes for three years, and all the people's debts will be invalidated." ”

"Your Majesty, the people in the city are still unstable in their hearts, and they are very afraid of the Qi army."

"Order, whether it is the warriors in the city or the people in the city, whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded with a gold."

"Order, send someone to Linzi again, who can persuade the king of Qi to withdraw for this monarch, and this monarch will give a thousand gold."

Tian Wen's order spread throughout the city, and the city shook, followed by cheers.

At this time, the tentacles who were outside the city heard the earth-shattering cheers from the city, he was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, he must have boosted his morale.

As for how Tian Wen boosted morale, he thought about it for a while, and then figured out Tian Wen's methods.

Thinking about it, Tentacle sneered: "Moving people with wealth, scattering people with wealth, this is just a dying struggle." ”

"Order, beat the drums, the army stepped forward, and officially attacked the city."

"No."

City.

Tian Wen, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Qi army, found out as soon as the Qi army moved forward.

"The Qi army is coming, giving orders, beating drums, and preparing for war."

As soon as the military ordered, Tian Wen continued to shout: "Kill one enemy, reward one gold, kill." ”

Then, the doorman next to Tian Wen also shouted: "Kill one enemy, reward a gold!" ”

Soon, the walls of Xuecheng were full of calls for 'kill one person, reward one gold', and for a while, the morale of the warriors of Xuecheng skyrocketed.

Then, as soon as the two sides fought, under the desperate struggle of the warriors of Xuecheng, the soldiers of the Qi army could not even stand on the wall.

Then, the two sides fought for a day, and the warriors of Xue Cheng have been firmly in control of the city wall.

Nighttime.

Gongsun Hong reported to Tian Wenyu: "Your Majesty, in today's battle, our army successfully repelled the Qi army, of which one hundred and seventeen people from our side got the head of the Qi army. And our casualties today have reached more than 600, and I don't know what you plan to do. ”

When Tian Wen heard this, he immediately responded: "Prepare one hundred and seventeen gold, and the emperor will give the gold in public." ”

"Your Excellency is wise."

Tian Wen nodded, and asked: "Is there any news in Linzi, has the king ever been said to collect troops?" ”

When Gongsun Hong heard this, he shook his head with a heavy face: "The king's mind has not changed. ”

"Alas~~" Tian Wen sighed heavily, and then ordered: "Send someone to Linzi to lobby the king again." ”

"No."

After three days of bloody fighting.

After Tian Wen prepared the bounty again, he asked again, "Has the king ever changed his mind?" ”

"No, I didn't."

On the night of the tenth day of the war, Tian Wen asked again: "Has the king changed his mind?" ”

"No, I didn't."

"Send someone to Linzi again!"

"No."

After half a month of fierce fighting, the Qi army has maintained a high-intensity siege, and as the casualties of the Xue Cheng warriors increased day by day, the morale of Xue Cheng began to decline.

And Tian Wen returned to the mansion after defending the city, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Has the king changed his mind?" ”

"Nope!"

"Are the envoys of various countries still lobbying the king?"

"Back to the king, the envoys of Zhao, Wei, Song and Chu are still in Linzi, and they are constantly persuading the king, but the king is unmoved."

"Alas~~ The fate is not good, as for Si!" Tian Wen sighed, and then ordered: "Send someone to Linzi again." ”

"No."

A month after the Great War.

On this day, the worried Tian Wen sent a piece of gold cake to a warrior with lingering hearts, and then to another warrior with lingering fears, and when the bounty was finished, Tian Wen walked quickly to the city wall with worries.

But Tian Wen, who was worried, and Tian Wen, whose thoughts were all on Linzi, didn't realize at all that the people who came to receive the bounty were no longer the original excitement and greed.

went to the city wall, as always, the Qi army quickly killed it.

After that, Tian Wen inspected the city wall, while boosting morale, and fought fiercely until the middle of the day.

Tian Wen was inspecting the south wall, and suddenly, there was a rush of shouts and killings in front of him.

Tian Wen was stunned, and when he was hesitating, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the Qi army has just occupied a small section of the city wall in front. ”

Tian Wen was shocked and immediately shouted: "Quick, immediately send reinforcements to support..."

Night.

Gongsun Hongyu reported: "Your Majesty, today a section of the southern city wall was lost, and our army and the Qi army fought fiercely over which section of the city wall, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

In today's battle, our army gained more than 400 Qi soldiers, and our army also suffered more than 1,000 casualties. ”

Tian Wen was stunned and sighed: "Get ready for coins!" ”

"No."

"Is there any news from Linzi?"

"Nope."

"Send someone to Linzi again."

"No."

The next day, the city wall of Xuecheng was lost again, and the two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle at the gap.

Subsequently, for a month and a half, the walls of Xuecheng were repeatedly lost, and the casualties on both sides increased dramatically.

On the night of this day, Gongsun Hongyu reported: "Your Majesty, today the Qi army broke through our army's defenses again and again, and then fought fiercely with our army on the city wall, our army suffered heavy casualties, morale continued to fall, rumors in the city appeared again, and the people were shocked three times a day.

Your Majesty, now our heavy rewards can hardly inspire morale.

At this moment, what should I do? ”

When Tian Wen heard this, he frowned and said, "How is the situation in Linzi?" ”

When Gongsun Hong heard this, he shook his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Tian Wen pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "When the news comes out, who can persuade the King of Qi to withdraw for me, I am willing to thank you with three thousand gold!" ”

······

Two months after the war, on this day, Tian Wen returned from a fierce battle on the city wall, Gongsun Hong hesitated for a long time beside Tian Wen with the battle report, and then said: "Your Majesty, the treasury has already been half full, with our money and treasures, if the fierce battle continues like this, I am afraid that in another half a month, the treasury of the monarch will be exhausted." ”

"What?" Tian Wen was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Gongsun Hong and said, "How can this be, there are tens of thousands of gold accumulated in the mansion, and there are many treasures, how can it be exhausted so quickly?" ”

Gongsun Hong said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, although we have rewarded less than 20,000 gold, since the monarch went to Wei to serve as prime minister, he began to take out a large amount of property to lobby the ministers of Qi and ask them to come forward to make peace for Wei.

However, not long after the monarch served as Wei Xiang, he resigned and returned to Xue. Therefore, a lot of money was spent in vain to make peace for the Wei State.

After that, in the past two months, we have frequently sent people to Linzi with treasures and money, which can be described as a flowing stream..."

As he spoke, Gongsun Hong lowered his head: "Your Majesty, if the war continues to be as fierce as it is now, then, in half a month, we will exhaust all the money in the treasury." ”
