Chapter 119: The Arrival of the Jin Mission
"Your Highness, there is news from the Jin country, Wu Qimai has taken control of the situation in the country, and is about to send Aguda here, accompanied by the Jin country's mission, it seems that they really plan to ask for peace with us." In the military camp outside Linhuang Mansion City, Yang Huaiyu smiled and said to Zhao Yan who was sitting in front of him.
Zhao Yan also just came to Linhuang Mansion a few days ago, mainly to personally deal with the problems on the side of the Jin State, he had discussed with Zhao Xu before, and planned to take this opportunity to completely solve the Jin State, eliminate all the hidden dangers in the northern Xinjiang, and reduce the military pressure of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, in order to blockade the Jin State over the years, the Great Song Dynasty also needs to station heavy troops here, although the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is strong, but it is not a way to always consume it.
"Summation? They are inevitably a little too naïve, just in the past few years, in order to blockade the Jin Kingdom, our Great Song Dynasty has invested countless manpower and material resources, if they are let go so easily at this time, wouldn't all the previous investment be in vain? I saw that Zhao Yan sneered at this time and said, just from the perspective of the economic benefits of input and output, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to let go of the Jin Kingdom.
"What His Royal Highness said is that these soldiers under my command are holding back a lifeless drill every day, in order to get enough credit in the battle to destroy gold, if the two countries really negotiate peace, then these soldiers under my command are afraid to scold their mother." Yang Huaiyu also smiled when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he had already received Zhao Yan's letter before, and knew that the imperial court had no intention of negotiating peace, which also made him finally put his mind at ease, after all, with the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty, the navy often fought wars, but there were fewer and fewer places where the army could make military merits, and in their eyes, Jin Guo was a delicious big cake, and naturally they were not willing to let go easily.
"Hehe, then those brothers under your command get ready, I estimate that it won't be long before a general attack on the Jin Kingdom will be launched. They will be indispensable! Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, most of the soldiers in the army now are from military schools, and strictly speaking, they are all his students, so he naturally will not let his students down.
"That's great, brothers have been waiting for this day for a long time!" After getting Zhao Yan's assurance, Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but pat his thigh and said happily. The military general has come to his part, and the military merit has not played much role in him, but his brothers still need to be promoted by military merit, and he used to write to the court every year, requesting to attack the Jin country, but unfortunately the court has not let go, and this time it is finally going to fight.
After chatting a few words, the two began to talk about family affairs again, and Zhao Jia married Yang Huaiyu's daughter Yang Yan. Therefore, Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu are also sons and daughters, so the content of the conversation quickly turned to Zhao Jia and Yang Yan. Speaking of which, when Zhao Jia left, Yang Yan was already three months pregnant, and later the child was born, Zhao Jia was still on the way to Europe, and she didn't receive the news at all, but it's a pity that the child who was pinned on by the Yang family was a girl. Although Zhao Yan likes this eldest granddaughter very much, a woman cannot inherit the title after all. In addition, Zhao Jia took Agnes for a few years, so the Yang family was also very anxious about this.
"Your Highness, Yan'er and Jia'er can't always live separately, when do you think Jia'er will come back from Europe?" Yang Huaiyu asked at this time, on the one hand, he wanted his daughter to give birth to a boy as soon as possible, so that she could more stabilize her position in the Yue Wangfu. On the other hand, he feels sorry for his daughter, after all, she was separated from her husband at a young age, which is not a good thing.
Hearing Yang Huaiyu ask about Zhao Jia's return date, Zhao Yan thought about it for a while before he spoke: "Although the overall situation in Europe has been decided, there are many things that need to be dealt with in the later stage. Originally, Yan'er had proposed to go to Europe to accompany Jia'er, but the princess was worried that the child was too young, so she didn't agree......"
"But ......" Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but be a little anxious when he heard this, and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Yan with a smile, "But don't worry, Jia'er and Yan'er have a very good relationship, every time a fleet comes back from Europe, they will bring a lot of letters to Yan'er, and I plan to go to Europe in person after I finish dealing with the affairs of Jinguo, and then I can let Jia'er come back to accompany Yan'er, and when the child is older, they can also go to Europe together." ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's arrangements, Yang Huaiyu finally put his mind at ease, and said with a smile: "When the matter here of Jin is over, I'm afraid I will be idle for a while, if there is a chance, Your Highness might as well take me with you when you go to Europe, and then I will also see the scenery of the outside world with my own eyes, speaking of which, I have not been to sea in these years, and I have always heard how the scenery overseas is different from the Central Plains, but I have never seen it." ”
Since Yang Huaiyu took charge of the Hebei Army, he has made countless contributions, especially the destruction of the Liao State, which has surpassed his father Yang Wenguang, although the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty has changed, but generals like Yang Huaiyu who have too much credit still have to be suppressed, only because of the rise of the Jin State, so Yang Huaiyu can still stay in the army, but after the destruction of the Jin State, he will definitely be idle, unless there is any national war, It is possible for him to be reactivated, otherwise he can only retire with peace of mind, or provide some advice to the government in some military aspects.
"Haha, it would be great if Brother Huaiyu wanted to go to Europe, speaking of which, our children have grown up, and it's time to enjoy the blessings." Zhao Yan also laughed when he heard this, thinking that when he and Yang Huaiyu first met, the other party was still a down-and-out general, but now that so many years have passed, the other party is already a famous general all over the world, and these things make people feel a little emotional just thinking about them.
A few days later, the Jin country's mission finally came to the outside of Linhuang Mansion, but Zhao Yan did not come forward, because Wu Qimai was deceived by Yelu Nuzhang, thinking that he had lost power, so he had the idea of suing for peace.
For the arrival of the Jin State Mission, according to Zhao Yan's control behind the scenes, the Great Song Dynasty also showed great enthusiasm, not only by Yang Huaiyu personally to greet him, but also the negotiation minister sent by the Great Song Dynasty, which also made the Jin State Mission feel flattered, and at the same time more confident in this peace request, and even when they met for the first time, they sent Ah Gu to the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to show their sincerity, which also made Zhao Yan overjoyed, and wondered if he wanted to meet Ah Guta first?
