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

"Zhen Guojun, in your opinion, is Zhong Feihua willing to submit to the court?" Yu Shouren asked with a slightly frowned brow when he saw Yang Zaixing riding away quickly on his horse.

Ye Feng also spread his hands, his expression indifferent, and said with a smile: "Whether he can surrender depends on how deep his relationship with Yang Zaixing is."

"If Emperor Xuan of Song, this incompetent ruler, had been a little more capable, the Song Dynasty would not have fallen into the current situation with so many capable ministers and generals."

When Yu Shouren and other generals of the Song Dynasty heard Ye Feng cursing the late emperor, they all looked strange, but they did not dare to say anything, as that was a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.

They naturally didn't know that Ye Feng had cursed Emperor Xuan of Song more than once or twice. He had even cursed her father, the bastard and incompetent emperor, in front of Zhao Qiuyan.

It would be great if Zhong Feihua was willing to surrender. If he was unwilling to surrender, Ye Feng would not mind killing one more person. It's just a pity that the other party had tens of thousands of troops.

……

Go up to Youcheng.

Yang Zaixing, holding a standard Yang family spear, came to the outside of the city alone and said loudly: "Yang Zaixing is visiting, please open the city gate."

On the city wall of Shangyou City, many soldiers saw that it was Yang Zaixing, and they did not report to Zhong Feihua, but directly opened the city gate of Shangyou City.

"General Yang, please!"

Many soldiers knew that Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua were close friends, and they were as close as brothers. Zhong Feihua also told them that anyone coming to Shangyou City had to report, but Yang Zaixing could open the city gate directly.

Soon, Yang Zaixing arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and saw a burly man opposite him. He was tall and strong, with a full beard. He walked up to him with a smile, took Yang Zaixing's arm, and said, "Xing brother, why did you want to come to Shangyou City? What's the matter?"

Zhong Feihua and Yang Zaixing had been close friends for a long time. He knew very well that Yang Zaixing would not visit him unless he had something important to do. So the two of them did not act politely and asked directly.

"Old Zhong, I'm afraid the walls have ears. Let's go inside and talk."

Yang Zaixing followed Zhong Feihua to the study. Seeing that there was no one around, he stated his purpose directly and told Zhong Feihua the whole story of his stay in Ju Youguan.

After listening to this, Zhong Feihua frowned slightly.

Yang Zaixing was afraid that Zhong Feihua would be embarrassed, so he quickly spoke up, "Old Zhong, no matter what choice you make, you don't have to consider me. You and I are friends for life and death, even if we meet on the battlefield in the future, we each serve our own masters, so there is no need to show mercy."

"I will go with you to meet the King of Zhenguo."

Zhong Feihua hesitated for a moment before speaking. He spoke so quickly that Yang Zaixing was dumbfounded, for Yang Zaixing hated the Song Dynasty royal family to the core.

"Brother Xing, do you really think I don't understand? Following Zhao Xiong in a rebellion will most likely lead to a more miserable fate in the future." Zhong Feihua immediately spoke up, "Besides, the Zhenguojun is a man of both literary and martial abilities, and he is not a foolish or violent person. The other party agreed to overturn my father's case, which is obviously a way out for me. If I don't know what's good for me, my more than 30,000 brothers will also die. Besides, you and I are brothers, and we lived and died together when we became sworn brothers. You are willing to be loyal to the Zhenguojun, so how can I refuse?"

"Hahaha..." Yang Zaixing knew that Zhong Feihua was willing to surrender, and his face was full of joy. He said, "Old Zhong, don't worry. In my opinion, our king will surely rise to the sky in the future. By that time, you and I, brothers, will fight side by side, conquer the south and the north, and sweep across the four directions. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

……

Late at night.

On the wall of Tianyun City, Zhang Tai was guarding it personally, and the surrounding soldiers were also on high alert.

Sima Cuo divided his troops into three groups: the left and right armies, and the central army. He sent 10,000 soldiers from each group to charge towards Tianyun City.

Just when the army he sent out arrived not far from Tianyun City, the Nine-Star Crossbow that had been prepared on the city wall was released.

Dense arrows poured down like a violent storm, and in the blink of an eye, countless soldiers sent by Sima Cuo to charge were shot and killed.

"Retreat quickly!"

Each soldier could not see the direction ahead clearly. Seeing the soldiers in front of them fall down, they dared not continue to charge and retreated one after another.

"Push it to me!"

Sima Cuo still wanted his soldiers to continue charging, but he didn't expect that as soon as they rushed out, the same situation occurred again. The soldiers charging in front were shot and killed by the Nine-Star Crossbow in an instant.

"General, the bows and crossbows in Tianyun City are too powerful, and we cannot charge forward." A deputy general ran up to Sima Cuo with a look of horror on his face.

What he was holding in his hand was the arrow of the Nine-Star Crossbow. It was as thick as a finger, and the tip of the arrow was extremely sharp. It was obviously specially tempered and could easily penetrate even armor.

The most important thing is that the arrow is nearly two meters long. When it is shot out, it is extremely powerful, and the impact force is enough to penetrate the bodies of two people.

Sima Cuo dismounted and took the arrow of the Nine-Star Crossbow in his hand. He frowned secretly. Whether it was the weight or the tip of the arrow, the sharpness was totally incomparable to ordinary crossbows. He was secretly horrified and said, "When did the Great Song Dynasty create such a terrifying crossbow?"

"retreat!"

Seeing that the charging soldiers suffered heavy losses, in just one day, the 100,000-strong army he led had lost more than 10,000 soldiers.

If they continued to charge, with the enemy shooting wave after wave of arrows, by daybreak, even if they could barely capture Tianyun City, most of the 100,000 soldiers would probably be dead.

Sima Cuo, the Minister of War, did not want a tragic victory, but a complete victory.

"General Zhang, this Nine-Star Crossbow is extremely powerful. With it, it will be easy for us to defend Tianyun City." A soldier said to Zhang Tai.

Zhang Tai saw the power of the Nine Star Crossbow and nodded in agreement. He never expected that when Ye Feng was the commander of the Jinyiwei in the Wei Dynasty, he only showed his ability to fight for power, but he did not expect that he came to the Song Dynasty, led troops to fight, and governed the country. He was really a versatile person.

……

Yecheng.

Zhao Xiong sat upright in the main seat, his face gloomy and terrifying, with a cold murderous intent flashing between his brows.

The meeting hall is filled with his trusted aides.

Cai Xuan, Yuan Tan, Zhao Xu and others.

"Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua are two treacherous villains. They actually chose to surrender to Ye Feng. It really makes me angry!" Zhao Xiong became angrier and angrier, and he suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

"Mr. Cai, don't stop me this time. No matter what, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 to Yuancheng and capture the rebellious son Zhao Shun. Only by killing the two traitors Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua can I get rid of the hatred in my heart." Zhao Xiong burst out with his aura, and did not give Cai Xuan a chance to persuade him.

Cai Xuan showed a bitter expression, bowed slightly, and looked as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant. He was slightly stunned and said, "Since the prince has decided to personally attack Yuancheng, can you listen to my last words?"
