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

Chapter 374: The Qingyuan Dynasty wants a marriage alliance? I refuse!

Yang Feilong was a famous veteran of the Qingyuan Dynasty with great military achievements.

It has been guarding the southern border of the Qingyuan Dynasty for many years. In the early years, it had fought many battles with the Tuwu Dynasty and won many battles. Later, the Tuwu Dynasty dared not to invade.

So much so that a saying spread throughout the Qingyuan Dynasty: "As long as General Feilong is still here, the Tuwu Dynasty will never dare to cross the border even a single step!"

Pei Yuanji did not want to move the capital for the time being, so he ordered people to summon Yang Feilong to the capital to give advice, just to see if this veteran general could lead the army and defeat the enemy.

Yang Feilong walked to the center of the court, bowed slightly, his eyes firm. When he arrived in Yehe City yesterday, he had already been to the outside of Jiayun Pass for personal inspection.

After a long discussion with General Wen Chou who was guarding Jiayun Pass, the conclusions drawn were not optimistic: "Your Majesty, although the army of the Song Dynasty was alone in the deep, after they captured Jiayun Pass, the food and grass stored there would be enough for them to last for at least three months."

"Over the years, the defense focus of our Qingyuan Dynasty has been on the Tuwu Dynasty in the south and the Daxia Dynasty in the west, so there are not many soldiers guarding the cities and territories bordering the Song Dynasty. If we want to send troops to repel the enemy now, at least 200,000 troops will be needed."

"The most important thing is that the enemy is now guarding Jiayun Pass. If they hold the pass, the difficulty of our attack will be greatly increased. I heard from General Wen that the enemy not only has spearmen and cavalry, but also tens of thousands of archers. They are all very powerful. I'm afraid we won't be able to gain much advantage."

Yang Feilong analyzed the situation neither humbly nor arrogantly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the enemy's commander was truly a talent. He had won battle after battle along the way, leading an army of more than 100,000 and attacking for several days in a row without a break, completely catching the Qingyuan Dynasty off guard.

"General Feilong, if I give you an army of 200,000, how long will it take you to repel the enemy?" Pei Yuanji narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was not good at fighting, so he would naturally ask veterans like Yang Feilong for advice on marching and fighting. If he rashly dispatched an army of 200,000 and failed to win, the price he paid would be too high.

"Your Majesty, it will take at least three months, or at least half a year!"

Yang Feilong's statement was not groundless. He personally investigated Jiayun Pass and found that the archers on the city wall were already ready for battle.

The most important thing is that the enemy actually has a great master in charge, and it is a large army with great military strength. It is too difficult to repel the enemy under such strict defense.

"This..." Wen Chu had never expected that the situation analyzed by Yang Feilong would be so serious, and he was furious. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but mutter, "A few days ago, the enemy army arrived at Jiayun Pass, and I sent people to ask for help. If reinforcements had been sent earlier to support Jiayun Pass, the enemy army would not have been able to capture Jiayun Pass so easily."

Li Guozhong stood there with his arms folded, looking calm, not at all irritated by Wen Chou's words.

"Is it really true that the only option is to move the capital?"

Pei Yuanji raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the army of the Song Dynasty was so strong. According to Yang Feilong, the price to pay for repelling the enemy was really too high. Then his eyes suddenly lit up. "I heard that the enemy general is the trusted state guardian of the Song Dynasty. He was the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Wei Dynasty. I don't know how he offended the empress of Wei, so he was exchanged for the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun by the Emperor of Song, Zhao Qiuyan. What do you think, if I personally invite him to assist me, wouldn't it be more sincere than the Emperor of Song?"

He had also heard a lot of news about Ye Feng in the past few days. He was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but sigh that the martial arts-crazy female emperor of the Song Dynasty was so lucky to find such a good minister by chance. It was really enviable.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention!

Li Guozhong's heart trembled. He had heard of this Ye Feng. Ever since this guy came to the Song Dynasty, the once powerful official Li Linpu had become difficult to walk.

If he really allowed the other party to become Pei Yuanji's guest of honor, the first person to be rectified would be him, the Prime Minister Li Guozhong. Thinking of this, his originally calm expression changed slightly, and he quickly offered an idea: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, maybe it will work!"

"I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"

Pei Yuanji looked at Li Guozhong and asked.

"I have heard that the commander of Jiayun Pass is Ye Feng, the guardian of the Song Dynasty. He is young, but he is capable of governing the country and leading troops in battle. He is indeed a rare talent."

"According to what General Feilong said, we are in a dilemma. Why not try another method? I dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive me for daring to give advice." Li Guozhong bowed to Pei Yuanji. No one knew what Li Guozhong was going to do.

"My dear, please speak freely. I will forgive you!"

Pei Yuanji waved his hand.

"Princess Qingyan is only eighteen years old, beautiful and intelligent. Your Majesty has always been worried about how to find a suitable husband for her, hasn't he?" When Li Guozhong's words came out, many generals raised their brows. They seemed to know what Li Guozhong was proposing, which was to marry a foreign princess.

"That Ye Feng is the ruler of the Song Dynasty, but he has never been married. Why don't we, the Qingyuan Dynasty, take the initiative to send people to Jinling City to betroth Princess Qingyan to the ruler? They are a match made in heaven. Our Qingyuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty will form an alliance, and the enemy will retreat."

Pei Yuanji's eyes lit up when he heard this. He did not give the courtiers who wanted to object a chance to speak out. He directly ordered: "The Prime Minister's proposal is very good. Let the Prime Minister handle this matter. Send someone to Jinling City to discuss it immediately!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Guozhong smiled and bowed to receive the order.

General Wen Chou and others were filled with anger. It was such a shame and humiliation that they were now going to marry a foreign princess.

Yang Feilong signaled to everyone not to act rashly and to take a long-term view.

……

Since Ye Feng captured Jiayun Pass, he was not in a hurry to attack Wufeng City.

Guarding the pass, you can feel free and at ease.

But he didn't know that the emperor of the Qingyuan Dynasty actually wanted to marry the girl to him.

In Jinling City, in the imperial court.

Yue Teng and other court officials were all surprised and secretly shocked. How cruel was the King of the State, Ye Feng? It had only been a few days since they fought at Jiayun Pass, and the Emperor of the Qingyuan Dynasty had already sent people to marry!

They looked at the middle-aged man standing not far away. The other party was Qiu Zheng, the Minister of Rites of the Qingyuan Dynasty.

"My Lords, please convey the message to your emperor. Our Qingyuan Dynasty emperor is sincere. Both our countries are in a bad situation. After Princess Qingyan marries your country's ruler, we will form an alliance and help each other. To show our sincerity, we will sell the Dayuan war horses of our Qingyuan Dynasty to your country!"

When Yue Teng and other generals heard the last condition, their eyes lit up. It was really too tempting!

"Humph!"

But at this moment, a cold snort sounded.

All the ministers raised their heads, their faces full of astonishment. The sun was rising from the west, and His Majesty the Emperor was actually attending court. At some point, Zhao Qiuyan appeared in a dragon robe, and the aura on her body became more unfathomable. I'm afraid her cultivation had improved a lot.

"The Qingyuan Dynasty wants a marriage alliance? I refuse!"

Zhao Qiuyan had just sat on the dragon throne and could not wait to speak directly.
