The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Zhen Guojun, in the future, the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud will become the production base of bows and crossbows of the Great Song Dynasty, which will enable the people of the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud to be self-reliant."

Chang Sun Ji saw many furnaces burning continuously and the sounds of iron hammering. They were all strong and healthy people he selected from around Yancheng.

He assigned each person to be responsible for completely different projects. Some were responsible for ironmaking, some were responsible for smelting, and some were responsible for assembly.

In this way, everyone can get paid, and they will be more grateful to the Song Dynasty. If the enemy wants to steal the manufacturing method of the Nine Star Crossbow, they must capture all the craftsmen. Otherwise, even if any link is missing, the Nine Star Crossbow cannot be manufactured.

"Moreover, the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud are adjacent to the Great Wei Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty. Building a bow and crossbow manufacturing site here can greatly save transportation costs."

Chang Sun Ji traveled to the eighteen cities of Yanyun. The geographical environment here is very good. Some people became craftsmen, and the rest of the people could obtain more land resources and grow more and more grain.

"These manufactured bows and crossbows will be transported to Dongyun City and Tianyun City as soon as possible to defend against foreign enemies. As long as the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun are at peace, the entire southern region of the Great Song Dynasty will be peaceful and stable, the people will live and work in peace, and the country's tax revenue will increase."

Chang Sunji's face was full of energy when he said this. It can be said that with his plan, not only the entire Yanyun Eighteen Cities, but almost the southern region of the Great Song Dynasty.

Ye Feng had long known about Chang Sun Ji's abilities, and was not surprised by his plans. He said, "Since I have appointed you to be in charge of the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, Dongyun City, and Tianyun City, everything will be handled according to your plan. Whether it is Zhang Tai who guards Tianyun City, or Sun Biao in Dongyun City, they are all under your jurisdiction."

"Thank you, Lord Zhenguo."

Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Ji's face was filled with gratitude.

Most dynasties have separate management of the military and politics to prevent the county governor from having too much power and being able to control everything. However, Ye Feng directly handed everything over to him to manage, so he naturally could not disappoint the other party's high expectations.

"Report! Report! Report!"

Just as Ye Feng and others were inspecting the manufacturing process of the Nine-Star Crossbow, a spy came hurriedly to Ye Feng not far away.

"Your Majesty, urgent military information has come from Tianyun City. Sima Cuo, the Minister of War of the Great Jin Dynasty, is leading an army of 100,000 and is heading towards Tianyun City. They will arrive in three days."

Hua Hua Hua...

After hearing the report from the spies, Madam Xinling and other generals all looked slightly different. Sima Cuo, the Minister of War of the Jin Dynasty, was not only strong in his own strength, but also very capable in marching and fighting. Tianyun City now only had more than 10,000 soldiers. It would be very difficult to defend the city under Sima Cuo's attack, so they had to go to support him.

Ye Feng had a calm expression. He had long guessed that the Great Jin Dynasty would definitely fight back after losing Tianyun City, which was why he gave Chang Sun Ji the drawings of the Nine-Star Crossbow three days ago.

"Master Ye, shall I lead the cavalry to provide support?"

Lady Xinling knew very well that Sima Cuo was very capable in leading troops in battle. If Zhangtai was not careful, Tianyun City would be lost and the loss would be heavy.

"support?"

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth slightly raised. His purpose of seizing Tianyun City and Dongyun City was not to fight a life-and-death battle with the Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty.

Given the current situation within the Song Dynasty, even if he wanted to destroy the two dynasties, he would be powerless. What he has to do now is defense.

"Madam, think about it carefully. Do we have the ability to face two dynasties now?" The reason why Ye Feng created the Nine-Star Crossbow was to defend the city.

As long as there are enough Nine-Star Crossbows, the two dynasties will have no chance of succeeding in capturing the city unless they mobilize the entire country to send out troops.

Madam Xinling frowned slightly. She knew very well the internal situation of the Song Dynasty. If the war with the Jin Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty continued for a long time, ambitious people like King Dongxuan, Lord Changlin, or Prime Minister Li Linpu would be the first to stab them in the back.

But when she thought about the fact that she had just acquired Tianyun City with great difficulty and had to return it to the Great Jin Dynasty, she always felt unwilling in her heart.

"Chang Sunji, please tell me!"

When Ye Feng saw the smile on Chang Sun Ji's face, he knew that the other party had guessed his intention.

Lady Xinling and other soldiers turned their heads to look at Changsun Ji.

"Don't worry, everyone. Our Lord Zhenguo has already made a plan several days ago." Chang Sunji did not take credit for it. He flattered Ye Feng first. He was not only smart, but also very good at dealing with people. Then he pointed to the pile of nine-star crossbows and dense arrows not far away and said, "Look at these nine-star crossbows. If they are placed on the city wall, how difficult will it be for the enemy to break through the city?"

Lady Xinling and other generals had just witnessed the power of the Nine-Star Crossbows, and they all suddenly realized that with these Nine-Star Crossbows defending the city, they would be twice as effective with half the effort. It would be extremely difficult for the enemy to break into the city easily.

"My guess is that Lord Zhenguojun's purpose in seizing Tianyun City is to defend it from a dangerous place. You may not have been to Tianyun City and don't know its terrain."

"If the Great Jin Dynasty wants to attack Tianyun City, it must pass through a very long steep slope. It can be said that Tianyun City was built on the top of the mountain. If Sima Zhen had not led the garrison to attack and be wiped out, Zhang Tai, let alone leading a mere 10,000 soldiers, would not have been able to break through Tianyun City in just one day even if he led an army of 100,000."

Chang Sun Ji talked eloquently that as long as these Nine-Star Crossbows were sent to Tianyun City, it would be like a one-man-block pass against ten thousand.

"Think about it carefully, everyone. The 100,000-strong army of the Great Jin Dynasty is outside Tianyun City. There will be casualties in the siege, and the consumption of 100,000 troops is huge. In the long run, the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty will be weakened. And our Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud can continuously send the materials produced to Tianyun City, so it will naturally become more and more abundant, and we can achieve the goal of fighting to support the war."

Whether it was Lady Xinling or Lao Xu and others, they only knew how to ride horses and fight, and had no idea how to manage a city. After hearing Changsun Ji's detailed explanation, they suddenly became enlightened.

Everyone's eyes widened. No wonder those top legions and generals were always accompanied by military advisors and counselors. These people seemed unable to fight, but in fact, one strategy could cause heavy losses to the enemy!

"Zhen Guo Jun, I wonder if what I said is correct?"

After Chang Sunji finished speaking, he looked at Ye Feng and asked.

"Well! What you said coincides with what I said, but you missed one point." Ye Feng nodded. Chang Sun Ji was indeed a very capable guy.

They thought that all this was related to Ye Feng, and they couldn't help but look at Ye Feng. Thinking back, this guy must have guessed that the Great Jin Dynasty would take advantage of the situation to seize Yancheng, so he deliberately let Sima Zhen go all out so that he could seize Tianyun City more smoothly, right?

"Did you miss something? I'd like to hear the details!"

Chang Sunji looked at Ye Feng and asked sincerely.
