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

"Retreat!"

After Pei Yuanji handed the matter over to Li Guozhong, the eunuch Zhang from the Imperial Household Department beside him shouted and directly announced the adjournment of the court. He also stood up and walked to the side of the court.

"Eunuch Zhang, do you think I am incompetent? The Song Dynasty has reached Jiayun Pass, but I only want to negotiate with the other side?" Pei Yuanji walked with a smile on his face. He suddenly stopped and looked at Eunuch Zhang who was following not far behind him.

"We don't dare!"

Eunuch Zhang was frightened by Pei Yuanji's sudden questioning, and his face turned pale, and he fell to his knees. He was just a eunuch in the Imperial Household Department, and slandering His Majesty was a capital crime.

"Hahaha... I don't dare to say it, but I don't think so in my heart. Now the people of the entire Qingyuan Dynasty are scolding me for compromising!" Pei Yuanji laughed, but at this moment he seemed extremely shrewd, as if he knew everything.

"I succeeded to the throne at the age of seventeen. When I was young, I was ambitious and reviewed memorials day and night, thinking about how to make the Qingyuan Dynasty more powerful and the country rich and the people strong."

"Now, I am already forty-five years old. If I continue to work so hard, the Qingyuan Dynasty may flourish, but my body is broken. Even if the Qingyuan Dynasty is really powerful in the future, what's the use? I am gray-haired, even if you give me a hundred peerless beauties, it will be useless!"

"Besides, war is a waste of money and effort. If it can be resolved through peace talks, why not do it? I can still drink, dance and listen to songs with my concubines in the harem every day. Isn't it wonderful?" Pei Yuanji seemed to be expressing his inner frustration and spoke out his thoughts all at once.

Li Guozhong received the emperor's order, and was very happy about the upcoming peace talks. He was thinking about how to make the talks successful and how he could benefit from it.

Many court officials followed Li Guozhong, with fawning faces and constantly flattering him. Li Guozhong enjoyed it very much and did not feel guilty at all.

"General Feilong, why don't you stand up and oppose the peace talks? Now the entire court is controlled by the traitor named Li, and His Majesty is also bewitched by Concubine Li. It is really a tragedy for my Qingyuan Dynasty." Wen Chou and other court officials and generals followed Yang Feilong and kept complaining.

Yang Feilong's expression remained normal, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you think it would be useful for me to stand up and oppose? His Majesty is very satisfied with the current situation, he doesn't want to fight at all."

"My Lords, why don't you change your perspective? If we fight the Song Dynasty to the death, it will be the common people who will suffer in the end, and the soldiers will suffer the most."

Wen Chou had a rather hot temper. He had thought that Yang Feilong, who came from the border, would surely be able to repel Ye Feng and win back a game for the Qingyuan Dynasty. However, he did not expect Yang Feilong to be so cautious and protect himself. He was a little angry: "Since ancient times, soldiers have been raised for a thousand days and deployed for a single moment. Even if they die on the battlefield, that is their fate."

"Now the enemy has reached Jiayun Pass, but we are hiding in Yehe City. If this gets out, it will be a great shame. I would rather die on the battlefield."

Hearing Wen Chu's high-spirited words, Yang Feilong couldn't help but mutter, "If you want to die on the battlefield, why don't you just defend Jiayun Pass?"

When Wen Chu heard Yang Feilong's words, he was speechless. His face was full of anger and ferocity. He was about to explode in rage, but was stopped by a general beside him: "General Wen, General Wen... General Feilong has no choice. Everything must be approved by the emperor. Otherwise, we will die in vain even if we set foot on the battlefield."

"You should carefully investigate the opposing leader, Ye Feng. He has won many battles in the Song Dynasty, and he has defeated many with fewer troops. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

"He is now defending the pass and has well-trained archers at his disposal. If we want to fight him head-on, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory."

“By then, the Qingyuan Dynasty will have suffered huge losses in military strength, and both sides will suffer losses, which will lead to the real destruction of the two countries.” Yang Feilong did not want to go to the battlefield, but he was considering the long-term.

He could see that Ye Feng, who was guarding the pass, did not want to destroy the Qingyuan Dynasty. Since the other party was not going to destroy the country, why bother to fight to the death with the other party?

……

"Reporting to the Lord of Zhenguo, the Prime Minister of the Qingyuan Dynasty, Li Guozhong, is outside Jiayun Pass with a few people, and wants to negotiate." Su Qingzhi personally came to the outside of Ye Feng's tent. He didn't know what Li Guozhong, the Prime Minister of the Qingyuan Dynasty, was up to. How could a Prime Minister want to negotiate? Didn't they want to take back Jiayun Pass?

"Peace talks?"

Ye Feng walked out of the tent, a little surprised.

He thought that since he had won consecutive battles and captured Jiayun Pass of the Qingyuan Dynasty, the other side would definitely send a large army to attack, but he didn't expect that after so many days, there was no news from Yehe City. Now they suddenly came to Jiayun Pass for peace talks, even he couldn't understand it.

Ye Feng and the others didn't know that the Qingyuan Dynasty had already sent the Minister of Rites Qiu Zheng to Jinling City a few days ago to seek marriage, but unfortunately he was rejected by Zhao Qiuyan.

"Since he only brought a few people with him, he can't play any tricks. You go and bring them here." Ye Feng pondered for a moment. Since Li Guozhong only brought a few people with him, there was naturally no threat.

"As ordered!"

Su Qingzhi turned and left. After a while, he was seen bringing a middle-aged man with gray hair and dressed in fine clothes. He was slightly fat and was accompanied by several followers and officials in official robes. They came to the central military tent.

"I've heard that the Lord Zhenguo is young and handsome, and it's true." Li Guozhong stepped into the tent with a cheerful voice and a faint smile on his face: "I am Li Guozhong, the Prime Minister of the Qingyuan Dynasty. I have come here on the order of His Majesty the Emperor to discuss with the Lord Zhenguo how to withdraw his troops from Jiayun Pass."

Ye Feng was ecstatic when he heard this. He had received the news about the Three Kingdoms Alliance from Shen San, and he had already made preparations to withdraw his troops from the Qingyuan Dynasty. However, he did not expect that Li Guozhong would come to him at this juncture.

"Retreat? Why do you want to retreat?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's face was immediately filled with anger, his eyes widened, staring at Li Guozhong intently, and an invisible murderous intent burst out of his body, causing the faces of several followers following Li Guozhong to be filled with fear, and their backs were instantly soaked with cold sweat. The murderous intent in Ye Feng was truly frightening.

The officials who came with Li Guozhong all looked ugly. They didn't expect Ye Feng's tone to be so firm.

"Zhen Guojun is a smart man. It is impossible for you to defeat Qing Yuan Dynasty with the army you have. It will be bad for all of us." Although Li Guozhong is a bad guy, he is not stupid. He asked directly, "Don't beat around the bush in front of others. What conditions do you want to withdraw your troops from Qing Yuan Dynasty?"
