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

Chapter 168: Flood in Ying County, Recruiting Talents

"kill!"

But before Ta Yaogan could find Huo Yun, he discovered a young man not far away, wearing silver armor and holding a spear.

The cultivation of a fourth-grade junior grandmaster burst out from his body, and with a powerful aura emanating from his spear, he charged towards where he was, riding on a warhorse.

Ta Yaogan's face was ferocious and his pupils suddenly contracted. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the young general in silver armor rushing towards him was the cavalry general in front of him.

He was filled with horror and shock. The Song Dynasty was falling apart, so how could such a young and powerful general suddenly appear?

scoff!

The cultivation level of a third-rank junior grandmaster emanated from Ta Yaogan's body. He did not dare to be careless. He swung the scimitar in his hand fiercely, colliding with Huo Yun's spear.

"Well done!"

Huo Yuan fought with Ta Yaogan, riding his warhorse and galloping past quickly, his expression full of excitement, this kind of life-and-death battle and fight was what he wanted.

With a roar, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards where Tayaogan was. Holding the reins in one hand and a spear in the other, he rushed out again.

Ah!

Seeing Huo Yun fighting so bravely, the more than 20,000 cavalrymen following him also charged forward madly. Even the yellow sand filling the sky could not stop their charge.

Although the 50,000 cavalry led by Tayaogan were almost twice as many as those led by Huo Yun, their eyes revealed fear.

It was just because the cavalrymen following Huo Yun were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and even if they died on the spot, they wanted to die together with them. Their fighting method was completely reckless and fearless.

"Kill! Brothers!"

The same was true for Zheng Gong and Cai Pei. Although they were young, their faces were ferocious and they stabbed wildly with the spears in their hands, killing the enemy and making them flee in disarray.

The cavalry following behind them also charged quickly.

"Damn it! What's going on? Where did these cavalrymen come from? Why was Luo Ming, the governor of Hexi County, defeated by us?"

"If we continue to fight like this, we are no match for them. We should run away and retreat to the depths of the desert."

"I don't think the king is a match for that young general. I don't know where the Song Dynasty found such a young general who fights so bravely."

Many soldiers who followed Tayaogan were frightened when they saw the fighting style of Zheng Gong and others. They followed Tayaogan just to leave the desert and seize Hexi County as a place to survive.

However, now seeing that the battle was being lost and they were falling into a disadvantage, everyone began to retreat and did not want to continue fighting.

scoff!

Huo Yun's spear floated, and after dozens of consecutive charges, he finally found Ta Yaogan's weakness, and the spear in his hand swept out suddenly.

Ta Yao shouted loudly, and before he could block with the scimitar in his hand, he was stabbed hard on the shoulder by Huo Yun's spear, and blood spurted out.

"Fizz!"

The warhorse under Tayaogan's crotch also neighed and jumped high. Tayaogan's face was full of ferocity, and he wanted to escape to the desert in the distance while riding his warhorse.

"Want to run?"

When Huo Yun saw Tayaogan running away, his eyes flickered, and he saw him quickly insert the spear next to him, and with smooth movements, he took out the bow and arrow that was straddled by Sadness, drew the bow and shot arrows, three arrows in a row, one after another, pausing only for a few breaths before shooting towards Tayaogan.

call out!call out!call out!

Tayaogan heard the sound of arrows behind him. His face became solemn. He suddenly bent down and began to dodge the arrows shot by Huo Yun.

But just as he bent down and dodged the first arrow, the second arrow came and was about to hit his back. He suddenly jumped high and stepped on the horse he was riding, causing it to neigh. However, just when he thought he had completely avoided the arrows, the third arrow followed closely. His face changed drastically and his eyes widened. There was no way to avoid it.

"what!"

The arrow shot through Tayaogan's back, sending him flying and landing heavily in the yellow sand.

"Run! The king is dead!"

Seeing Tayaogan being hit by Huo Yun's arrow, many Tayaogan soldiers who had wanted to escape for a long time rode their horses and fled in different directions.

scoff!

Huo Yun rode on a warhorse, holding a silver spear, and quickly rushed to Tayaogan. He swung the spear, making a whistling sound, and stabbed towards Tayaogan fiercely.

"No... don't kill me..."

Ta Yaogan wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could finish his words, Huo Yun pierced his chest with his spear and killed him without any hesitation.

"Ah..."

Seeing Huo Yun beheading Tayaogan, many cavalrymen shouted excitedly. After Tayaogan's death, the cavalrymen of the entire Duoyi tribe dispersed.

"Send someone back to Jinling City to report to the King of Zhenguo that I did not disappoint him and successfully killed Ta Yaogan and took back Hexi County." Huo Yun's face was filled with smiles. After killing Ta Yaogan, the first thing he thought of was to report to Ye Feng. If it weren't for Ye Feng, no one would believe that he, a mere sixteen-year-old general, could defeat the Duoyi tribe and kill Ta Yaogan.

……

early morning.

"The Lord of the State has arrived!"

Wei Xian's sharp voice echoed throughout the court.

Yue Teng, along with all the civil and military officials, bowed to Ye Feng when they saw him sitting down beside the dragon throne with a warm smile on his face.

Only Li Linpu still maintained his airs, sitting on the armchair, unmoved.

Wei Xian took out the imperial edict and began to announce the rewards for the officials who had made contributions in the war.

Whether it was Lady Xinling or captains like Lao Xu, they all received the glorious official positions of military generals.

"The position of Minister of War in the Song Dynasty has been vacant for a long time. Based on the fact that Yu Shouren fought alone and made great contributions in defending Linjiang City, Yu Shouren is promoted to be the Minister of War and put in charge of the Ministry of War." As Wei Xian made the announcement, Li Linpu's face became particularly ugly. You know, Yu Shouren was banished from Jinling City by him back then, and now he was brought back by Ye Feng.

"I thank you for your kindness, Lord Zhenguo. I will do my best."

Yu Shouren bowed with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, there has been a flood in Ying County, and the people have been displaced. It is the autumn harvest season, and the losses are heavy. How should we deal with this, please give us your instructions, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the Minister of Works Qu Xuan walked to the center of the court and reported directly to Ye Feng.

Upon hearing about the flood in Ying County, all the civil and military officials began to whisper to each other.

They all knew the situation in Ying County. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on four sides. Floods occurred frequently throughout the year. The people were displaced and could only rely on money and food allocated by the court to survive.

Qu Xuan brought up the flood in Ying County at this time, obviously trying to make things difficult for Ye Feng.

"Lord Hai, allocate silver and grain to help Ying County." Ye Feng first looked at Hai Ming. Although the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty was not well-off, it could spare some silver and money. He continued, "At the same time, immediately issue a call for talents to recruit flood control talents from all over the nine provinces. Anyone who can completely solve the flood in Ying County can be rewarded with 100 gold coins and promoted to the Minister of Works. If he can completely solve the flood in Ying County, he can go one step further and be rewarded with the Minister of Works."

Qu Xuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He was disdainful in his heart. Ying County was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on four sides. As long as there was a little more rain, floods would inevitably occur. These were almost all long-standing problems of the Song Dynasty, and he did not believe that anyone could solve them.
