"Damn it! This bastard!" Ye Shiheng was furious and rarely swore.

Mei Zangyun was so bold and brazen as to blatantly violate the agreement between the two countries!

The massacre of the people of the Song Dynasty is simply outrageous!

Ye Shiheng immediately ordered the three brothers Ye Yunlu and Ye Zelin to lead their troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion in Wulitun.

"Yes!" The three brothers clasped their fists and accepted the order, then turned around and led a team of people to rush towards Wulitun.

At this time, the battle in Wulitun was extremely fierce.

"You bastards! If you kill my people, I will make sure you never come back!"

General Liang Shi's eyes were bloodshot and the weapon in his hand was covered in blood. He was chasing after several Western Xia soldiers.

The three brothers Ye Zelin divided their troops into three groups and encircled and suppressed the Western Xia troops from three directions.

The two armies fought for nearly two hours before the winner was decided.

General Liang Shi killed Mei Zangyun with an axe.

Most of the Xixia soldiers died, and only a small number threw down their arms and surrendered.

Some civilians looked at the surrendering Xixia soldiers and rushed forward with a kitchen knife, but were stopped by Ye Zelin, "Fellow villagers, we can't kill prisoners of war."

The common people glared at the Xixia soldiers with tears on their faces, "General, I know you have military rules to follow, but I don't! The Xixia bastards killed our parents, brothers and sisters! I want to avenge them!"

The man waved his hand and Ye Zelin had no time to grab the kitchen knife. The knife had already flown out and hit a Xixia soldier.

A few days later, Mi Qindong Jin personally led a large army to attack the three small checkpoints of Yumen Pass, Pingqin Pass, Dasan Pass and Qiaozhen Pass in four directions.

Generals Ye Zelin and Liang Shi stayed behind at Yumen Pass to resist the army led by Mi Qindong Jin.

Ye Yunlu set up defenses at Dasan Pass, preparing to inflict a heavy blow to the Western Xia soldiers.

Deputy General Jin and others led their troops in a fierce battle with the Western Xia army in Qiao Town.

Pingqin Pass was originally occupied by Mo Zangyun, but was recaptured after several fierce battles led by Ye Yunlu. The Western Xia soldiers attacked Pingqin Pass again, and Ye Shiheng and his son Ye Songyan led their troops to fight the enemy.

The horses are as fast as Lu, the bows are as loud as thunder, and the battle is extremely fierce.

The arrow came at him like lightning, and Ye Songyan was about to swing his spear to block it, but it was too late. At that critical moment, the arrow was swept away by Ye Shiheng's spear.

However, the arrows were overwhelming and continuous. Several soldiers stood in front of Ye Shiheng and Ye Songyan without hesitation, using their bodies as shields to block the arrows.

"General, hurry up! General, hurry up!" A soldier who was hit by several arrows shouted at Ye Shiheng at the top of his lungs.

After saying this, the soldier fell down.

At this moment, an extremely sharp arrow flew straight towards Ye Songyan. Ye Shiheng subconsciously pushed his son away, and the arrow head penetrated directly into his chest, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

Ye Songyan exclaimed: "Dad!"

......

Ye Songyan carefully helped Ye Shiheng to sit down, and Ye Shiheng's body leaned tightly against a huge rock.

Ye Shiheng tightly grasped Ye Songyan's hands, which were stained with blood. He asked anxiously, "Yan'er, do you hate your father?"

Ye Songyan shook his head vigorously, "No, Yan'er has never hated Dad."

"Dad, don't say anything. I will take you back to the military camp and we will go find my sister-in-law. She will definitely be able to save you." Ye Songyan sobbed, his voice choked.

Ye Shiheng stretched out his hand to stop his son, "It's too late, Dad is almost dying, there are some things Dad must tell you, you must listen carefully and remember them firmly."

Ye Songyan burst into tears, "Daddy, please tell me."

"Do you know why Dad told you that eggs were not tasty when you were a child? It was because Dad knew you would be allergic to eggs, so Dad said that on purpose."

Ye Songyan was puzzled, "Dad, what do you mean by this?"

"Both of your brothers are allergic to eggs. How could you not be allergic?"

Ye Shiheng stared at his youngest son and said slowly, "Yan'er, you are Rongyue and I's biological son."

Ye Songyan looked at Ye Shiheng in astonishment, "What? What did you say?"

"You are indeed the biological child of Rongyue and me. Feiqiong's child died when he was just born. It was Dad who swapped your child with Feiqiong's. The child who died that year was not Rongyue's child, but Feiqiong's child."

Ye Shiheng slowly closed his eyes, feeling relieved. This matter had been hidden in his heart for twenty years.

"Impossible? No way?" Ye Songyan's face was full of disbelief.

"It's true." Ye Shiheng looked at Ye Songyan, his voice full of guilt.

"You lied to me! This is not true! There is no way I am not my mother's child?" Ye Songyan looked at Ye Shiheng with a splitting headache as if it was about to explode.

"Yan'er, you are really Rongyue's biological child. Your real name is Yuning, which was given to you by Rongyue. She hoped that you would have a peaceful life, so she named you Yuning."

Ye Shiheng raised his blood-stained hand and gently stroked his youngest son's handsome face, his eyes full of love, "Your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Rongyue."

"I'm sorry, Yan'er." Ye Shiheng said softly.

Ye Songyan asked, "You said I was my mother's child, so why did you swap my child with my mother's?"

"because……"

Ye Shiheng hesitated to speak.

Back then, his father Ye Changting strongly opposed him marrying Ouyang Rongyue, but he insisted on marrying no one but Ouyang Rongyue. Even when he went to propose in person, he was forcibly pulled back by his father.

If Rongyue hadn't had Yunlu, his father would have been worried about the family scandal being exposed and would never have agreed to this marriage.

After marriage, he was away from home for many years, and spent very little time at home, let alone with Rongyue. His father was already dissatisfied with Rongyue as his daughter-in-law, and when he was not at home, his father was even more picky about Rongyue, and even treated the child Rongyue gave birth to with a cold eye.

His father had been forcing him to marry Xu Feiqiong, but he disagreed and argued with his father countless times. This became known to everyone in the city. Even the Censorate impeached him for being disobedient and unfilial, and the emperor summoned him to the palace and gave him a severe scolding.

Rongyue even said that she didn't want to see him fall out with his father because of her, and begged him to marry Xu Feiqiong.

He finally compromised and married Xu Feiqiong.

Maybe he was worried that his father would treat his child badly, or maybe he was worried that Xu Feiqiong would go crazy and do something that would be detrimental to them. In a flash, he made the last wrong thing in his life...

In fact, when it comes down to it, it is his cowardice and incompetence that has led to the current situation. Why didn't he persevere to the end when he rose up in resistance?

"Because I'm a coward..." This was the only answer Ye Shiheng could give to Ye Songyan.

"I'm sorry, Yuning." He owed his son an apology.

With reluctance in his eyes, his hands slowly dropped.

On this day, Ye Shiheng passed away, and the curtain fell on a great general’s life. Sacrificing his life for the country was his greatest honor.

Ye Songyan carried Ye Shiheng on his back and walked towards Yumen Pass step by step. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw a group of armored soldiers from afar. The general leading them was wearing silver armor.

"Second brother."
