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

Zhao Xiong was holding a spear, looking very aggressive, and his cultivation level of the peak seventh-grade junior grandmaster burst out, frightening all the servants in the palace. They all avoided him with fear on their faces.

"Yuan Tan, listen to my orders. Immediately mobilize the three armies and attack Yuancheng."

Zhao Xiong saw a middle-aged general walking towards him hurriedly not far away. Without any hesitation, he immediately gave orders to the other party.

The man who came was Zhao Xiong's most trusted general, Yuan Tan.

"As ordered!"

Yuan Tan turned around and was about to walk out of the palace when an old man came towards him, followed by a young man. It was Zhao Xiong's eldest son, Zhao Xu.

"General Yuan, please stay. Your Highness must not go to Yuancheng in person." Cai Xuan is Zhao Xiong's number one strategist and the teacher of the young prince Zhao Xu. It can be imagined that he is deeply trusted by Zhao Xiong.

"Why?"

Yuan Tan frowned. In his opinion, since Zhao Shun dared to issue the "Exhortation to Punish His Father" in Yuancheng, openly insulted Zhao Xiong for violating the "Enfeoffment Order", listed Zhao Xiong's nine sins, and scolded Zhao Xiong for being disloyal, unjust, unkind and unfilial, he should be punished. Leading the army to destroy him is the best choice.

Cai Xuan came to Zhao Xiong, bowed slightly, and said: "When the prince sees this 'Exhortation to Punish My Father', he will surely be extremely angry. Will he lead the army to attack Yuancheng? This will surely fall into the enemy's trap."

"Why do you say this?"

Zhao Xiong was originally a general in the army, who only knew how to lead troops in battle and didn't think about the conspiracy and intrigue. Cai Xuan had been with him for many years and had saved his life many times. He accepted almost all of Cai Xuan's advice, after all, the other party was able to convince him every time.

“Your Highness, please think carefully. Zhao Shun has been guarding Yuancheng for several years. Why did he dare to suddenly rebel against Your Highness?” Cai Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked slowly.

Zhao Xiong's irritable personality gradually calmed down. After thinking carefully, he immediately understood and said, "What Mr. Cai means is that someone is behind Zhao Shun's opposition to me?"

"That's right!" Cai Xuan nodded and said in a sonorous voice, "If my guess is correct, this person must be Ye Feng, the state guardian who guards the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun. Apart from him, I really can't guess who else is willing to support Zhao Shun's rebellion behind the scenes."

"This Ye Feng really deserves to die. If it weren't for the Enfeoffment Order issued by him, Zhao Shun wouldn't have dared to rebel so blatantly. Instead, he charged me with disloyalty and injustice and attacked me. How despicable!"

Zhao Xiong knew very well that if it were not for the Enfeoffment Order issued by Ye Feng, which ordered the princes to divide their territories among their sons, Zhao Shun would not dare to rebel even if he had a hundred courage.

"If the prince leads the army to Yuancheng, Yecheng will be an empty city. Although Ye Feng is still in the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud, it is rumored that the cavalry under his command can travel a thousand miles a day and attack from a long distance, heading straight to Yecheng. Then, wouldn't the prince fall into the enemy's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain?"

Cai Xuan looked calm, and he slowly explained the interests involved to Zhao Xiong. Yecheng was Zhao Xiong's base camp, and if it was lost, there would be heavy losses.

Zhao Xiong's face turned a little ugly when he heard that. Just as Cai Xuan said, he was really a little afraid of the cavalry under Ye Feng's control. It must not be a coincidence that they could win battles one after another.

"Are we just going to let that rebellious son Zhao Shun go unpunished in Yuancheng?" Zhao Xiong had led troops in battles his entire life, and in the end he was charged with crimes by his own son. It was a great shame and humiliation, and he absolutely could not swallow this.

"Your Highness, Xiayoucheng is the closest to Yuancheng. We can send General Yang to lead 40,000 troops to Yuancheng to quell the rebellion. Why is it necessary for Your Highness to go there in person?" Cai Xuan said slowly. The original purpose of arranging the garrisons of Xiayoucheng and Shangyoucheng was to prevent Zhao Shun from having any ulterior motives.

"I just want to capture that rebellious son myself. It seems that I can only do it through Yang Zaixing." Zhao Xiong said indignantly. As one of the four great princes of the Song Dynasty, he would inevitably become a laughing stock as Zhao Shun's "Exhortation to Punish His Father" spread. When he received the news, he was furious and wanted to capture Zhao Shun himself.

"Father, my second brother must have been bewitched by Ye Feng's evil words, so he chose to rebel. Please spare my second brother's life." The young prince Zhao Xu, who had been standing nearby without speaking, walked up and bowed slightly to Zhao Xiong, his face full of pity, appearing to be very broad-minded.

"Hey... Xu'er... If Zhao Shun had half the generosity you have, he wouldn't have done this." Zhao Xiong said angrily, "Father must execute him on the spot this time. Otherwise, when you inherit the throne in the future, you will be too soft-hearted and will definitely not be his opponent."

"Father..."

Zhao Xu was almost crying, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

At this time, everyone understood that the more tolerant he was towards Zhao Shun, the faster Zhao Shun would die.

"Send a message to Yang Zaixing to lead the army to quell the rebellion in Yuancheng. All those involved should be killed without mercy, without any need to report to the relevant department." Zhao Xiong conveyed the order without any further hesitation.

……

noon.

On the wall of Tianyun City, there are 49-star crossbows. Soldiers next to each crossbow are squatting under the cover of the wall, with arrows loaded on the crossbow, ready to be fired.

Sima Cuo led an army of 100,000 and rushed to the outside of Tianyun City. He rode on his warhorse, looked at the soldiers behind him, and said, "The front troops listen to my order, bring up the siege ladders, and take down Tianyun City in one go."

Hua Hua Hua...

Nearly a hundred siege ladders were carried by the soldiers. The rows of soldiers in the front rushed towards Tianyun City first, followed by many soldiers carrying the siege ladders.

"Be patient, don't be in a hurry to shoot. Wait until they are 300 meters close to Tianyun City, then shoot at my command." Zhang Tai stood in the bunker outside the city wall, and shouted in a low voice to the soldiers who had been lying in ambush.

"General, it seems that there are not many defenders in Tianyun City. Maybe the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were scared away by your 100,000 troops. Hahahaha..."

Several deputy generals around Sima Cuo saw that the wall of Tianyun City was extremely calm and there were no soldiers to be seen. They all began to make fun of and ridicule the city.

Only Sima Cuo looked solemn, he always felt something was wrong. Ye Feng defeated Xin Daorong, one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Wei Dynasty, and Sima Zhen in succession. He was definitely not someone who would abandon the city and flee.

"Kill!"

The general of the Great Jin Dynasty army who led the charge was about to reach the wall of Tianyun City, his whole body filled with spiritual energy. He was at the peak of his innate cultivation.

Charging in the front, rushing towards Tianyun City madly.

"Come on!"

The vanguard troops and soldiers holding siege ladders behind him, nearly ten thousand soldiers, roared and followed him, charging forward in an unstoppable manner.

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

Seeing the vanguard of the Great Jin Dynasty rushing to the outside of Tianyun City, Zhang Tai shouted loudly.

Then, from the originally quiet Tianyun City wall, the sound of breaking through the air was heard.

call out!call out!call out!

The densely packed sharp arrows from the Nine-Star Crossbow, with the sound of breaking through the air, were shot directly towards the charging soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty.

what……

As the first wave of thousands of arrows were shot out, screams rang out instantly. The soldiers charging in the front were pierced through the body by arrows and flew backwards heavily.

"Oh my god? What kind of weapon is this?"

The general of the charging army stared at the thick and long arrow from the Nine-Star Crossbow that pierced through his chest with his eyes wide open, his face full of horror. The first wave of soldiers who followed him in the charge were all dead!
