Chapter 41 III Restitution

That night, Li Tianhao enjoyed the prey cooked by his wife, and unexpectedly, this time Alfrette performed surprisingly well, if not delicious, at least beyond the ordinary level. Therefore, Li Tianhao also had a great appetite, eating three or four percent more food than usual, and Alfrette was even more happy, and she was full of joy to accompany her husband to eat.

As a result, Alfrette felt unwell that night, and Li Tianhao, who was taken aback, immediately called the imperial doctor - because Alfrette has always been known for her good health, liveliness and activity, and there are few records of illness in her growth records. Just when Lee was worried about whether to report the matter to King Airul, the royal doctor diagnosed that Princess Afrit was pregnant.

Li Tianhao froze in place for more than ten seconds when he heard the news, and then grabbed the imperial doctor: "Is it true?" Are you sure? ”

"Yes, it's true." The poor imperial doctor could barely breathe, and desperately squeezed these words out of his throat to prevent Li Tianhao from suffocating himself by continuing to exert force.

"Someone, reward!"

As he spoke, Li Tianhao threw down the imperial doctor and ran into his wife's room. Alfrette was also blushing at her husband's face full of joy.

"Alfrite, I really don't know what to say, what to say, what to say"

Faced with her chattering, incoherent husband, Alfrette made the right choice - gagged her husband with her lips. After a long lingering, Li Tianhao finally regained his composure, let go of his mouth and said, "Do you want to enter the palace to pay homage to your father?" ”

"It's late at night, let's talk about it tomorrow." Alfrette said softly.

Li Tianhao turned over on the bed, sighed and said, "Tomorrow." Tomorrow I will present my father to allow me to mobilize my forces and attack Yaqui. ”

"Tomorrow? So fast? Alfrette propped herself up.

Li Tianhao nodded: "Yes." The Yaki Army had already begun to move, if not to attack Diles again. That is to deliberately gather forces to deploy defenses. If we don't break through their defenses before they gain a foothold, it will be even more difficult when they fortify them. So we have to move fast, and time is running out. ”

Alfrette hugged her husband and buried her head in Li Tianhao's chest: "But I can't bear you to leave me, I'm just pregnant"

Li Tianhao stretched out his hand and stroked her chestnut hair, and said softly: "Yes, at this time, do you still remember today's eagle?" I am the falcon's arrow for you, and how can the arrow strike the eagle in the air if it does not leave the string? Wait for me to shoot down the eagle and present it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Alfrette listened, but did not answer. It's just that Li Tianhao hugged him tighter.

Li Tianhao smiled bitterly, and said: "Alfrite, I didn't leave you in Palchi, there are important things to ask you to do, can you help me?" ”

"What? I? Alfrit asked, looking up.

"Yes, this is a big thing for you. You see, though your father valued me and was willing to lend me his army, he did not fully accept my proposed policy of changing the slavery system in Parchi. Without a system of rewarding military merit and farming, and continuing to use the old aristocracy as the foundation of the state, it would not be possible to sustain the war against Yaqui for a long time, and the contradictions would sooner or later become superficial. With you by my father's side. Maybe he'll be receptive to your suggestion. If not, then the Tiers will have to expand the scope of self-government, implement reforms, and then hope that you will succeed to the throne and implement a new policy. Can Palci have a solid rear to deal with Yaki? In fact, the heaviest responsibility is still on you, do you understand? ”

Li Tianhao finished speaking. There was silence in the room. After a moment, Alfrette suddenly looked up. Said: "I understand, you go." You are a falcon that wants to fly high, and only when you fly higher will you have more prey. I can't tie you down, you just have to remember to come back to me when you're tired of flying. ”

"Alfrite" Li Tianhao wanted to say something more, but he clearly saw the tears on Alfrite's smiling cheeks. Li Tianhao hugged Afrette into his arms, and at this moment he could only use his enthusiasm to repay his wife's understanding.

"Be careful, don't crush the kid," Alfrette sneered. But Li Tianhao untied her clothes without saying anything, and under Li's passionate kiss, Alfrette had to disarm and surrender, allowing Li to be presumptuous on her.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tianhao entered the palace to play King Airur. On the one hand, Airul was overjoyed that he was about to become a grandfather, and on the other hand, he readily agreed to Lee's request to send troops. And on the basis of the original 20,000 Palchi soldiers, he transferred his 5,000 cavalry guards to Li Tianhao's command. In addition, the two captains of Horondis and Hector were also under the command of Li Tianhao. Airul's move is tantamount to handing over more than two-thirds of Parchy's military power to Li Tianhao, which is enough to show his trust and expectations for this fast son-in-law.

After making preparations for sending troops, Li Tianhao bid farewell to his reluctant wife Alfrit, and marched to the mountains of Dils with 25,000 elite soldiers from Palchi and 35,000 Nubian mercenary infantry hired from Nubia.

Along the way, Alam was the most excited. is about to return to the Dirs Mountains after a long absence, to return to the war-torn life, so that Alam, who has nothing to do in peacetime, is overjoyed, and keeps talking to Li Tianhao and Tatar, this annoying momentum even his apprentice Agobar can't stand it.

"Let's bring back an army of 60,000, plus the training we set up and train ourselves, then there must be nearly 120,000, right? Boss, when you only had 40,000 people on hand, you defeated more than 100,000 Yaji troops, and now our family base has increased several times, so even if the troops of Yaji are all here, we are not afraid. ”

Li Tianhao patted him on the back of the head and scolded: "The battle is not calculated by arithmetic!" The increase in the number of troops is of course a good thing, but it has also increased the cost of operations and the consumption of food, and whether or not we can afford to supply this large army will test our ability to supply logistics. Didn't you see the last time the Yaqui army was defeated over the grain? You are no longer a child, you have to take on more responsibilities in the future, martial arts alone is not enough to become an excellent general, you also need to know how to use soldiers to fight, understand? ”

Alam was upset by Li Tianhao's lesson, he put his hands behind his head, whistled and said: "My task now is to protect your safety, boss, and the matter of commanding the war is far away from me." What's more, I only need to obey the boss's command to act, so why don't I have to think about how to fight? ”

"Hmph, your shameless appearance is becoming more and more like Xenas." Li Tianhao gently smacked him and continued to ride forward.

Alam stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, boss, I'm talking about playing." I'll learn the art of using war, and when my prestige can master an army, I'll definitely clear a piece of Yaki City for you, Boss, how about it? ”

"You don't need a piece, you just need to capture a city." Li Tianhao's voice suddenly became serious. Everyone present thought that Li Tianhao was talking about Ashtiton, the royal capital of Yagi, but Alam understood that Li Tianhao was not referring to that place, but to a port, Maranster, where it all began.
