Chapter 410: Decide to go west
In the 3rd year of the love of the Sakura calendar, Zhao Yan left from the birthday banquet prepared for him by the ministers and returned to the Sakura Moon Palace early.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yan was already over thirty years old. He stood at the window, silently watching the endless night, thoughtful. Although two years have passed, every time he thinks of that day and the big battle, Zhao Yan always has palpitations.
Although the Pope is dead, and the Holy See of Light is long gone, for Zhao Yan, is this the end of this game in the otherworldly continent?
Zhao Yan knew the answer very well, and he didn't have a choice.
From the time he was brought back to the village of Tababa by the goblins, from the time he became the apprentice of Gulphys, from the time he led the slaves of the fire prison to revolt, from him becoming the lord of Ai Sakura Castle, and from him establishing the Kingdom of Ai Sakura......
His body has long been tightly bound to the chariot of history.
Perhaps it will not be until the day of his demise that it will be the end.
However, for Zhao Yan at this moment, the climax of the game has just begun. He had no intention of indulging in the congratulations and sycophants of the ministers, and he would rather stay in the arms of Ai Yingsha and enjoy the fragrance than be broken by the glitz and glitz of the world.
It has been five years since Zhao Yan came to the Aya Continent......
Whether it is the change of age or the wealth of experience, it has made him mature as soon as possible.
As early as half a year ago, the war between the Ai Sakura Kingdom and the Mei Kingdom had completely broken out. As the two largest and most populous powers in the Aya Continent, a war between them, even a small regional war, has the potential to affect the pattern of the continent. This is not exactly a battle between countries, but also a confrontation between religions, and even the major forces of the entire Aya continent.
The era of great turmoil in the Aya continent has quietly arrived.
Two years ago, when Zhao Yan and Omako joined forces to attack the Holy See of Light, the situation in the West changed dramatically with the intervention of the Yellow Palace. The Mei Kingdom, which had been in a state of collapse and on the verge of collapse, suddenly came back to life, not only driving foreign enemies away from its own land, but also taking advantage of the victory to pursue and try to turn defeat into victory.
However, with the help of the Yellow House and the fighting of their own army, they did it. The "country of war" Mei is by no means in vain, as long as they are united, their power will be infinite. In the counterattack, they smashed the capital of the king of Han and Vice-Allah, destroying the country. Later, in half a year's battle, the kingdom of Rak was destroyed. The "Anti-Mei Alliance" was dismantled by him alive. Its only regret is that it can't take advantage of the situation to annihilate the Sang Ri Kingdom, after all, the Sang Ri Kingdom is different from the previous two countries. He was martial in all his people, and he had reservations when he went north to attack Mei, and although Mei had several appropriate reinforcements, he could not break the defense line of Sanri.
has just experienced the baptism of war and war, and the power of the Yellow Palace is mixed in the country. Mei Guo was unable to put all his combat power on the Sangri Kingdom, so he had to give up and keep peace with the Sangri Kingdom for the time being.
In just one year of peace, the development of the Mei country has grown day by day, and hundreds of small countries in the west have submitted to it in order to seek refuge from the baptism of war. For a time, Mei Kingdom had truly become the overlord of the West Aiya Continent.
In the 3rd year of the Sakura calendar, Mei Dari officially ascended the throne as emperor, and the Mei Kingdom became the Mei Empire. Under the visit of the imperial ministers and generals and the sermon of the Yellow Palace God Emperor, Mei Dari sat on the throne of God, as if ten years younger.
However, in a small friction in a neutral place, the Mei Empire could no longer tolerate the growth of the Sakura Kingdom, and finally began the crusade. At this point, the Aimei war broke out unprecedentedly.
It's just that although Zhao Yan, the king of the Aiying Kingdom, is not the emperor, the Aiying Kingdom is also the overlord of the East Aiya Continent. In these two years, the development of the kingdom was no worse than that of the Mei Empire. Although militarily, the Mei Empire has 500,000 troops, while the Aiying Kingdom only has 250,000, which is only half of the Mei Empire. But Zhao Yan didn't care at all. In his eyes, the number is in many cases only a representative number. In addition to people, combat is also more than equipment and technology. And these are things that the Mei Empire can't compare with Zhao Yan.
There are also many dwarven tribes in the West Aya Continent, but unfortunately, the goblins are only Zhao Yan's family.
The two countries have been at war for half a year, and the war situation has gradually fallen into a stalemate.
This time, on the two battlefields of Lens and Huaikou, Zhao Yan sent four armies of Aiying Yanzi and merged them into two western marches. The First Western Advance was at Lens, west of the province of Lomydak, and consisted of the former Shanke and Chugh Divisions, with Vandiko as commander and marshal of the First Army. On this point, no one has any objections. The Second Western Army was in Huaikou, west of Aiying Province, and was composed of the original Crazy Dragon and Ingreil's divisions, with Ingreil as the commander and the marshal of the Second Army. At the beginning, Zhao Yan also spent a lot of effort on the two marshal candidates of Crazy Dragon and Ingreil, and later considered that Ingreil was calm and well-behaved, and he had been guarding Huaikou for many years, so he had a deeper understanding of the local environment. That's when he was chosen.
Fortunately, the dragon actively cooperated with Zhao Yan, and the reorganization of the army proceeded smoothly. After all, in the army of Ai Yingyan, after countless war accumulations and merits, the mad dragon and Vandiko are already the number one people. To ask him to bend below Ingrid would have been very controversial.
Vandiko and Ingreil led a total of 150,000 westward marches to compete with the 300,000 Eastern Crusade of the Mei Empire. The two sides are also fighting for equal strength, the Mei Empire can't take a step to the east, and the Aiying Kingdom can't go one step to the west, and the two armies are in a stalemate in the two major battlefields, Lunsi and Huaikou.
Thinking of the stalemate of the battle, Zhao Yanchang let out a sigh. He knew very well that this war was unlike any other war, and from the moment it broke out, it was destined to be a long and protracted war. If it is fast, it may only take a year, but if it is slow, it may not be possible to calculate it with a definite number.
In the dark, Zhao Yan actually had a wish to see the fall of the Mei Empire in his lifetime. It's just that I don't know if Zhao Yan is full of hope for himself or has lost confidence.
The cruelty of war made him forget about many unrealistic things. There are many things, and they are not as simple as talking.
"Daddy......"
A tender voice pulled Zhao Yan back from the spiritual world, he turned around, looked at the child who was not yet knee-high with a smile, and suddenly a burst of indescribable happiness swept through his body.
"Dad, I want to hug. ”
Zhao Yan squatted down, kindly hugged the little boy, and said, "Xiao Yan, you are almost two years old, a man can't hide in his parents' arms every day!"
"I want to hug, I want to hug!" the little boy pursed his lips, his eyes full of innocence.
"Okay, hug, hug!" Zhao Yan was just about to pick up the little boy, and a little girl next to him pulled the corner of his clothes, she pouted and said coquettishly: "Dad, I want to hug too, I want to hug too." ”
"Ouch, my good little dream!...... so good" Zhao Yan simply stretched out his arms, hugged one with one hand, and said with a smile: "Hug together, hug together, come, Dad will take you to see the stars." ”
"Okay!hehe! great!" The two children clapped excitedly, in their world, father's love is the most precious and happy thing in the world.
Zhao Yan turned around and stood in front of the window. The little boy and the little girl sat on his two shoulders, and they grabbed their father's ears and looked at the stars in the sky with a grin. This night, surprisingly beautiful.
At this moment, Zhao Yan had forgotten his identity, responsibilities, and troubles. All he knew was that he was a father.
Zhao Yan is very happy, two years ago, Ai Yingsha gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for him. As Zhao Yan said before, the boy's name is Ai Yingyan Menghan, and the girl's name is Aiying Mengmeng. Zhao Yan likes these two children very much, and their appearance is simply a perfect portrayal of the mixture of Zhao Yan and Ai Yingsha. When they grow up, they must be another Zhao Yan and Ai Yingsha.
But Zhao Yan hopes that they will be better than themselves. Or, you can be happier than yourself.
However, Zhao Yan is not just a father of two children. At the end of the 2nd year of the Ai Sakura calendar, that is, when Ai Yingyan and Ai Sakura Dream turned one, their younger brother was born in the far north. Doselina gave birth to a boy for Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan was very happy, but compared with when Ai Yingyan was born, there was too much difference.
It's been almost a year, and because of his busy schedule, Zhao Yan hasn't even gone north to Lomydak to meet his second son. According to Doslingera, she still hasn't named her son. She waited until the child's father came to Lomedak and saw his son for himself, and then she would give him a name.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan's happy smile just now was gradually replaced by sorrow.
is also a royal family, is it necessary to be left out in the cold?
Zhao Yan clenched his palms, and he told himself that he must not let this happen to him.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Yan turned around, regained his fatherly smile, and walked towards the bedroom with his children. On the big pink bed, Ai Yingsha is wearing extremely revealing pajamas, flipping through official documents on the bed. The light clothes exposed her body unbridledly, and her figure was not out of shape after giving birth. Although it lacks the mellow of the past, it has been replaced with a ripe maturity full of temptation. It seems that as long as you get close to her, you can feel the strong mature feminine aura in her. Zhao Yan put the children down, and then gently walked around Ai Yingsha's back and hugged him firmly.
Ai Yingsha was obviously slightly frightened, and it was only now that she found out about the arrival of Zhao Yan and the children, which showed how fascinated she was.
Zhao Yan said lightly: "Don't be so busy, okay?"
Ai Yingsha was already tired of hearing such words, she smiled faintly at Zhao Yan, and said: "Aiying Kingdom is no longer the small city it used to be, how much has the kingdom changed in the three years since the founding of the country? Not to mention the economy and population of the country now, there are dozens of vassal countries! As the queen of the kingdom, can I not pay more attention?"
Ai Yingsha's ability and diligence like an old scalper are well known throughout the country, and Zhao Yan also deeply feels that his wife has indeed helped him a lot. It's just that every time I see Ai Yingsha's tired appearance, I don't feel good in my heart. He still hugged Ai Yingsha firmly and said, "I know you've fallen in love with this busyness, but when you're at home, I hope you can stop, okay?"
Zhao Yan glanced meaningfully at Ai Yingyan and Ai Yingmeng, who were playing together, and said, "Look at the children, how much they need the care of their parents! You are not only a queen, but also a mother." Sha, in the palace, no matter how busy you are, I don't care. But at home, I want you to put aside your business, spend time with your children, and give yourself a good rest, okay?"
Feeling her husband's tenderness, a ripple stirred up in Ai Yingsha's eyes, and she was stunned for a moment before nodding slightly and softly "en".
The next moment, she put down the document and threw herself at the children.
Zhao Yan hugged her tightly from behind and didn't let her leave. She was a little surprised and said, "Let's go play with the children!"
Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "As a parent, you naturally have to accompany your children." But as husband and wife, we also have to ......," said Zhao Yan and kissed Ai Yingsha's lips.
"En'en ......" Ai Yingsha dodged backwards, although she had been married to Zhao Yan for some years, her face was still oozing ruddy at the moment. She glanced back and whispered, "The kid is here!"
Zhao Yan hugged her waist, still kissed her on the lips, and said gently: "Then let's go take a bath, Sha, let me relax for you!"
After a long pause, Ai Yingsha blinked her eyes wide, glanced at Zhao Yan with a smile, nodded, and said, "En." ”
"Whoa!
The lingering between the two was interrupted by the voices of the children, who looked at them with a smile on their faces.
Ai Yingmeng stretched out two fingers, pressed her own small wine vortex, and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad!"
Ai Yingyan nodded and said, "It's Dad, Mom!"
Ai Sakura said again: "But after a while, Mom will chirp Dad!"
The two children are notoriously smart, and Ai Yingsha has long been used to it, but she doesn't understand what it means, and said suspiciously: "What are you talking about?
Hearing this, Ai Yingyan and Ai Yingmeng turned around at the same time, and the bodies of the two children leaned forward and kissed each other. They used their actions to tell Ai Yingsha that this is it.
Ai Yingsha opened her lips slightly, turned her head and looked at Zhao Yan in amazement.
And Zhao Yan was already smiling strangely. The word "bar" is naturally what he taught his two children.
Oh my God, these are two elves!
("One light click of yours warms my entire codeword life.") Online Fantasy Fantasy Channel, more exciting content is waiting for you!")
"Old Cui, how is it?" In the palace hall, Zhao Yan sat on the king's chair and asked the Minister of Military Affairs Cui Nande.
Trinande's brows furrowed, it seemed that things were not going so well. He stood out from the group of ministers, bowed slightly to Zhao Yan, and said, "Your Majesty, Sang Riguo is lukewarm and does not show any attitude. They are simply indifferent to the favorable conditions of the Sakura Kingdom. ”
Zhao Yan's fingers struck in front of the armrest, thought thoughtfully for a while, and said, "I expected this result." Any hatred will be fragile because of interests and safety. A few years ago, the Sang Ri Kingdom and the Mei Empire were still inseparable, but now, hatred is not everything to them. ”
"Lao Cui, do you say that's the case?"
Cui Nande nodded and said, "Zuo Tian is too cunning! Although the Sang Ri Kingdom has a historical ethnic hatred for the Mei Empire, the current situation in the Aya Continent is enough to show how powerful the Mei Empire is. They put their hatred behind them and stand in the middle at such a critical moment. I think he is not only for self-preservation, but also for the sake of the fisherman's profit, and to make some benefits after the great turmoil!"
"As the king of Sangri, there is nothing wrong with Saden doing this. Every decision he makes will determine the fate of the Chinese people. Whether it is on our side or on the side of the Mei Empire is a gamble. The chips were now in his hands, but he was not in a hurry to place the bet early, but was waiting for the right moment. "The ministers have long been accustomed to Zhao Yan's way of speaking, and they always feel very easy to talk to him. Zhao Yan paused, and then said: "However, Zuo Tian doesn't understand a truth, when an important gamble is over, the chips in his hand are useless. And he will never be able to return to the table. If he has to choose neutrality, then no matter whether the final outcome is our victory or Mei Empire's victory, he will not end well. ”
Cassit also came out and stood beside Trinand and said, "Your Majesty, this war is very wide-ranging. Many small countries have also been tied to the chariot, and the Sang Ri country, as an important factor in the war at this time, will definitely not have his place in a neutral position. ”
"Prime Minister, what do you want to say?" Zhao Yan said.
"Your Majesty, according to our secret agent, the prime minister of the Mei Empire has left the imperial capital of Meiluoli and headed south. ”
"You mean, they're going to Sanri?"
Cassida nodded and said, "The old minister speculates like this. ”
Zhao Yan's expression gradually became serious, he slowly stood up from the chair, took a few small steps down, and finally stood with his hands in his hands, and said: "Zuo Tian is indeed a good king! He is so high-profile, he will get more benefits! Lao Cui, Lao Ka, you prepare for me, I want to go to Sangri Kingdom." ”
Hearing this, the hall was shocked.
Trinan and Cassie looked at each other, and Zhao Yan frowned, "What's the matter?"
"No, no, no......" Cassie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that there are many wars, I am afraid that you will ...... if you go to Sangri Country"
"Wealth is in danger. Zhao Yan said with a smile: "The 80,000 troops of the Sang Ri Kingdom must not fall into the hands of the Mei Empire. They have not yet made a decision, but they cannot judge who will emerge victorious between our two countries. In this case, in addition to favorable conditions, what they need is sincerity. The fact that the prime minister of the Tamei Empire went in person is enough to show that they attach great importance to the Sang Ri Kingdom. And I love the king of the Sakura Kingdom to go in person, isn't it more sincere than them? I have decided, go to the Sanri Kingdom, the sooner the better! The Prime Minister of the Mei Empire, Puganmans, is an old fox, and he can't let him get along with Saden for a long time. If we are one minute late, we will lose one more point. ”
Zhao Yan glanced at Cui Nande and said, "You send an order to Li Hao Shuai, tell him to get ready, and go with me!"
"Prime Minister, write a letter to Zodan in your own name, and say that your guests have arrived! and tell him that the number of people will never exceed that of Pugan Mans, and that he will not have to use the force of the kingdom to greet his guests. ”
Zhao Yan's attitude was resolute, and the ministers were powerless to refute.
