The Tian clan of Qi can be said to be the first clan in Qi besides the royal family.
The Tian family can even affect the national policy and destiny of Qi.
Take this time's battle between Qi and Tang as an example. In the early stage, the Qi State failed to get support from the Tian family, resulting in consecutive defeats.
It was not until later, after receiving support from the Tian family, that Qi State reversed its defeat.
This shows how important the Tian family's position is in Qi State.
Once the Tian family knew that their ancestral temple had been destroyed, they would attack Tunliu City frantically. No one among the Tang troops in the city would be spared.
And all of this was caused by Lin Yue who threw everyone away and ran away!
"Thankfully the captain caught those two traitors, otherwise once the news about this place spreads, the consequences would be disastrous!" Wu Xu was also frightened at this time.
Wu Xu almost fainted when he saw the situation here for the first time.
On the battlefield, both sides fight for their lives, but they will never do things like dig people's graves and destroy people's ancestral temples.
Once such a thing is done, it will inevitably be criticized by everyone in the world, and both sides will completely fight to the death.
"There is no airtight wall in the world. If something like this happens, it will have a great impact on our plans."
"At least, when we retreat, the hundreds of thousands of Qi troops around us will regard us as targets."
Speaking of this, Qin Yu's heart sank again and again.
I scolded all eighteen generations of Lin Yue's ancestors in my heart. If you are greedy for money, why are you destroying other people's ancestral temples? He is simply not a son of man.
"Then, do you want to change the plan?" Wu Xu asked.
Qin Yu shook his head, "The plan remains unchanged, but it must be advanced to avoid any changes."
When the two exited the Tian family's ancestral hall, they carefully lifted up the door panel that had fallen to the ground, and then pushed the damaged door panel back.
As for the money inside, the two of them did not touch it at all. It's difficult to survive now, and it's useless to ask for those things.
As for the corpses in the yard, they can only be placed here. After all, two people cannot dispose of them at all.
After exiting the yard, close the door and act as if nothing happened.
Standing at the door, both of them fell into silence.
Qin Yu suddenly said: "If it's still snowing tomorrow night, we will evacuate tomorrow night!"
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Qin Yu nodded firmly, "If something like this happens, the sooner we evacuate, the safer it will be for us."
······
Inside the Qi army camp.
Jiang Wu, who had suffered a defeat, huddled in bed depressed.
Jiang Wu's lieutenant was sitting below. Seeing that the fire in the brazier was a little small, he added a few pieces of firewood, and the fire slowly got up.
After adding more firewood, the deputy general looked up at Jiang Wu and saw that Jiang Wu was hiding under the quilt with no intention of coming out, so he had to lower his head again.
Yesterday's battle had a huge impact on the morale of the Qi army and Jiang Wu.
Five thousand troops attacked the city wall guarded by more than two hundred people, but they failed to capture it and instead lost nearly half of it. It was simply ridiculous!
"General, the fault for this battle does not lie with you, but with those who were gesticulating behind the scenes. General, there is no need to blame yourself." The deputy general couldn't help but comfort him.
"Shut up!" Jiang Wu yelled angrily from under the covers, making the lieutenant tremble in fright.
The lieutenant sighed silently, shook his head and said nothing.
Suddenly, the guards outside the camp opened the curtain and walked in.
"General, the reinforcements sent by the general have arrived, and they are accompanied by a military governor."
"The Overseer? Who is the Overseer?" the deputy general stood up and asked.
Normally, the deputy general would have asked how many reinforcements there were first, but after hearing that there were governors, the deputy general's heart suddenly sank.
Did he send the governor here because he didn't trust his own general, or did he have an ulterior motive?
The guard replied: "I don't know, but the military governor is waiting outside the tent at this time."
"No! Tell him to get out of here!" Jiang Wu's voice came from the bed.
The deputy general waved to the guard, who immediately withdrew.
As soon as the guard left, the door curtain was opened again, and a young man wearing a white fox fur coat walked in with a slight smile.
"Third Young Master, it's just a defeat. There's no need to even see me."
When the deputy general saw the young man, his expression suddenly became tense.
This young man's name is Tian He. He is a leader among the younger generation of the Tian family and has always been at odds with Jiang Wu.
Because Jiang Wu always felt that the Tian family was too powerful in Qi and would threaten the royal family, he never had a good look towards the Tian family.
When Tian He entered the camp and saw Jiang Wu still huddled in the bed, he couldn't help but smile scornfully.
"Third Young Master, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. This time I come here to help Third Young Master avenge his previous humiliation."
Tian He sat down opposite the lieutenant, rubbing his hands together to make a fire.
"The weather is really changeable. Look at the sky, it will continue to snow for a while." Tian He showed a kind smile to the deputy general.
The deputy general had a straight face, as if he didn't hear it.
"Hahaha! Rigid." Tian He pointed at the deputy general and smiled, "It seems that it is not unreasonable for the king to assign you to the Third Young Master. Your rigidity can just make up for the Third Young Master's frivolity."
Facing Tian He's evaluation of himself and Jiang Wu, the deputy general just snorted and made no other response.
In the entire Qi State, only people from the Tian family had the guts to comment on the royal family members in front of them.
Tian He glanced at Jiang Wu and saw that Jiang Wu had no reaction at all, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Tian He stood up, and before the deputy general could react, he pulled off the quilt from Jiang Wu.
"Qiang!"
A cold light flashed in the tent, and a sword was pressed against Tian He's neck, and the man holding the sword was naturally Jiang Wu.
Tian He looked at Jiang Wu calmly, without even a hint of panic in his eyes.
Tian He always kept smiling and took a step back slightly, "The Third Young Master is worthy of being a member of the military. He wears a sword when sleeping."
"Why are you disturbing the general's rest? If you can't tell the truth today, even if you are the governor, I will bring you to sacrifice the flag!"
Jiang Wu put away his sword, sat on the bed, and looked at Tian He coldly.
"promise."
Tian He smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Tunliu City is a matter of Qi's face."
"I think it's because of your Tian family's reputation. A small settlement can't affect the entire Qi country!"
Tian He still kept a smile on his lips and was not angry because Jiang Wu interrupted him and told the truth.
"Whatever the Third Young Master thinks it is, then of course it is." Tian He cupped his hands and said, "But what I have brought is the general's military order."
"The general requested that the Third Young Master should capture Tunliu City within three days and leave no Tang troops in the city."
Jiang Wu looked at Tian He and sneered, "Did you bring siege equipment?"
"The general said that the siege equipment that the Third Young Master brought when he came was enough, and there is no need to resupply." Tian He said.
"Humph!" Jiang Wu snorted coldly, pulled off the quilt, and continued to sleep.
"Third Young Master, what does this mean?" Tian He asked puzzledly.
"This general will not attack the city without siege equipment. If you want to attack the city, lead your troops to attack it yourself!"
