Chapter 245: Wine on the River
"I've quarreled with that guy before," Alexander pointed to Zhang Bai, who was staring intently at the wine glass with his head hanging down with his fingers, "You also heard it, you decide, whether you want to go to Rome or the big man in the future!"
Eden Hazard was also a little drunk, he raised his head, looked at the young Roman emperor with a little sadness, and sighed: "How can I... Can't you stay in Peshawar?"
"Absolutely not," Zhang Bai suddenly woke up, stood up with his eyes closed, stepped on the couch with his feet on his feet, and danced with his hands: "Let's go to Shu and help Zhuge Liang, he seems to be a modern person... unify the Three Kingdoms and defeat Wu Wei..."
Then one fell, and he lay down on the couch again.
Alexander and Hazard laughed!
"It seems that that big man also has a lot of trouble, and there are a lot of battles to fight, and you will definitely be able to be reused by Zhang Bai when you go there. Let me tell you, this kid seems to be the son-in-law of a famous aristocratic family in Dahan. Alexander said.
"But I still want to stay in Guishan, even if I don't want to be a soldier!"
"Ho, my dear general, it seems that your political wisdom is not yet fully mature! You know, you now have a great army, you have great military achievements, and you have power that is the envy of kings, but you do not give up power, nor do you use it. A general like you, I can't think of any emperor other than Rome who would tolerate your presence. ”
"You mean..."
"Tell you, the Kushan Empire will welcome Princess Tolan back to inherit the throne. Tolan does not have much foundation in Peshawar, and her ascension to the throne is entirely dependent on the support of Zhang Bai. Without his strategy, and the deal between him and me, Tolan wouldn't have been on the throne. “
Seeing Hazard's somewhat confused expression, Alexander continued to explain: "Don't be surprised that Princess Tolan will marry Ardaban V, King of Parthia, this is what we have planned a long time ago, and this is also Princess Tolan's own wishes. Therefore, it is likely that the two countries will merge into one country, and it does not matter what the name of this country is. “
"Oh——! I want to go to the toilet!" Zhang Bai suddenly jumped to the side, and the two maids immediately helped him out.
Alexander laughed again, "This Zhang Bai is very interesting, I have known him for a long time, when he was a famous waste who was good for nothing. But if you look at him now, it's really interesting, how did this change come about?"
Eden Hazard had no intention of laughing, and he asked worriedly: "Can the nobles of the two countries agree to such a big thing as the merger of the two countries?
"There were many noble families in Parthia, such as the wealthy and famous Surin family, the powerful general Dadhebourne, the Babylonian Voggis, the Mahran family, the Esbard Bach family, etc. Alexander patiently explained.
"What about the Kushan? The Sega family has left only orphans and widows, but the family has disappeared and the fate is unknown, the royal family Vesudeva is left with only Princess Tolan alone, and all the important nobles have withered. ”
Listening to Alexander's words, Hazard's mood suddenly became heavy.
The decline of Peshawar's aristocracy seems to have a lot to do with him. He burned down the Sega mansion, leaving Minnar's only wife and son without a financial foundation, and he killed Taha, who was the last male of the Vesudeva family, and strictly speaking, he broke the Vesudeva family.
The decline of the three major families of Kushan, two of which are closely related to themselves. Hazard suddenly understood why both Alexander and Zhang Bai insisted that Hazard must leave Kushan.
He looked up at the moon again and let out a long sigh.
"Looks like you've finally got it!" said Alexander, who drank a glass of wine and asked the maid to fill it up.
"I understand that at the moment of the merger of these two powers, I am not only useless, but also, it seems, to become a disgusting stumbling block, and a hidden danger to the future of the Empire. ”
Indeed, the United Kingdom of the future will be in alliance with Rome, and the silk trade routes will be transited. In short, peace has come, whether you like it or not. ”
The two drank another drink, and then Zhang Bai finally came back, and after some processing, the person was a little sober.
"This wine is amazing!" Zhang Bai said embarrassedly.
"It's not great at all, it's that you're drinking too little. Alexander scoffed, "But you're still a child, haha, don't force it, drink your grape juice!"
As if he was despised, Zhang Bai was not convinced, and immediately picked up the cup and drank himself down.
Alexander looked at him and smiled, turned back to Hazard and said, "You have to choose, whether it's this kid or me." ”
Hazard drank sullen wine and sighed: "I can't take my brothers to the Rhine, they were not born and died to bury their bones in a foreign land." In fact, the nobles hate me, and it's a big deal that I leave the capital, find a random place to settle down, and no longer take care of the army. ”
"So why bother, you just need to come if you want to, I don't necessarily need your army. ”
"That's even worse, my soldiers can accept the command of a Roman general, but how can your Roman soldiers accept a foreign commander like me?"
"It's... It's also true, so do you want to go to Dahan?"
"Not really! But Zhang Bai has a spaceship, I can bring some willing brothers, if it is a soldier on the spaceship, I think they will be satisfied. It's just that I didn't think about my way out. “
Alexander didn't go on to ask Hazard, and the two exchanged glasses.
"You're a good man, Hazard, but don't hesitate, it's impossible to do everything right in this world. ”
Seeing that Hazard couldn't answer, Alexander suddenly said: "Actually, there is still a possibility. It's better to let your brothers choose for themselves. Rome, Kushan, and Han can all be. If you want, you can go to Dahan. ”
He shook his wine glass and said, "I only hope that you can cooperate with me, don't agree to Zhang Bai's invitation to go to Dahan until I ask you to agree to go to Dahan, and you won't agree." If you promise, in exchange I promise to treat your brothers well, whether they decide to go to Rome or stay in Kushan, and receive a fair amount of money or reuse. ”
Hazard had always feared that his cavalry would be forced out or sent to a new battlefield to fend for themselves, which would lead to a tragic fate for his brethren.
Now that the promise of the Roman emperor has been obtained, it can be said that it is quite a good result. He nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, and the two clinked glasses again, happily toasting the wine.
After the banquet, Zhang Bai was sent to sleep in the cabin by the maid because he was drunk. Alexander and Hazard also used a cabin for their own sleepers.
