"Your Highness, news has been heard from the Jin Dynasty. Wu Qimai has controlled the domestic situation and is about to send Agu. The Jin Dynasty's mission is accompanied by them. It seems that they are really planning to ask for peace from us." In the military camp outside Linhuang Prefecture City, Yang Huaiyu smiled and said to Zhao Yan sitting in front of him.

Zhao Yan just came to Linhuang Mansion a few days ago, mainly to personally deal with the issue of the Jin Dynasty. He had discussed with Zhao Xu before and planned to take this opportunity to completely resolve the Jin Dynasty, eliminate all hidden dangers in the northern border, and at the same time reduce the military pressure of the Song Dynasty. After all, in order to block the Jin Dynasty in recent years, the Song Dynasty also needed to station heavy troops here. Although the Song Dynasty had a strong national strength, it was not a solution to waste it like this.

"Seeking peace? They are a bit naive. In the past few years, our Song Dynasty has invested countless manpower and material resources. If we let them go so easily at this time, wouldn't all the previous investment be wasted?" Zhao Yan sneered at this time. Judging from the economic benefits of input and output alone, the Song Dynasty could not let the Jin Dynasty go beyond it.

"Your Highness said very much that the soldiers under my command are fighting with a desperate exercise every day, in order to gain enough credit in the battle to destroy Jin. If the two countries really negotiate peace, then the soldiers under my command might be cursing." Yang Huaiyu smiled when he heard Zhao Yan's words. He had received a letter from Zhao Yan before, and knew that the court had no intention of peace talks, which made him finally relieved. After all, with the expansion of the Song Dynasty, the navy often fought wars, but the army could make military achievements less and less. In their eyes, the Jin Kingdom was just a delicious big cake, so naturally he was unwilling to let go easily.

"Haha, then the brothers under your command are ready. I guess it won't take long to launch a general attack on the Jin Kingdom. Their contributions will inevitably be lost!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Most of the soldiers in the army now come from military academies, and strictly speaking, they are his students, so he naturally won't disappoint his students.

"That's great. Brothers have been waiting for this day for a long time!" After receiving Zhao Yan's guarantee, Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but slapped his thigh and said happily. The general's military merits have no effect on him. However, his brothers still need military merits to be promoted. In the past, he had to write a letter to the court to attack the Jin Kingdom every year, but unfortunately the court has not let go, and this time it is finally about to fight.

After a few chats, the two started to talk about family affairs again. Zhao Jia married Yang Huaiyu's daughter Yang Yan, so Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu are also relatives of children, 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. Later, the child was born, and Zhao Jia was still on the way to Europe and did not receive any news. It was a pity that the child who was highly anticipated by the Yang family was a girl. Although Zhao Yan liked this eldest granddaughter very much, women could not inherit the title after all. In addition, Zhao Jia took Agnes with her for several years, so the Yang family was very anxious about this.

"Your Highness, Yan'er and Jia'er can't always be separated from each other. When will Jia'er come back from Europe?" Yang Huaiyu asked at this time. On the one hand, he wanted his daughter to give birth to a boy earlier so that she could strengthen her position in the Yue Palace. On the other hand, he felt sorry for her daughter. After all, she was separated from her husband with her young age. This is not a good thing.

When Zhao Yan heard Yang Huaiyu ask about Zhao Jia’s return date, Zhao Yan thought about it before speaking: “Although the overall situation in Europe has been decided, there are many things that need to be handled in the later stage. Yan'er had proposed to go to Europe to accompany Jiaer. However, the princess was worried that the child was too young, so she did not agree…”

"But..." Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but feel anxious when she heard this. She was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Zhao Yan with a smile, "But don't worry, Jia'er and Yan'er have a good relationship. Every time a fleet comes back from Europe, they will bring a lot of letters to Yan'er. In addition, I plan to deal with the matters of Jinguo and go to Europe in person. At that time, Jia'er can come back to accompany Yan'er. When the child grows up, they can also go to Europe together."

Hearing Zhao Yan's arrangements, Yang Huaiyu finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "When the matter in Jin Kingdom is over, I'm afraid I'll be idle for a while. If you have the chance, your highness might as well take me with you when he goes to Europe. Then I will also see the scenery of the outside world with my own eyes. Speaking of which, I have not been out of the sea for years. I used to hear how the overseas scenery is different from the Central Plains, but I have never seen it before."

Since Yang Huaiyu took over the Hebei Army, he has made countless contributions in a row, especially the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. This contribution has exceeded his father Yang Wenguang. Although the Song Dynasty's tradition of emphasizing culture and neglecting military forces has changed, generals like Yang Huaiyu who have made too much contributions still have to be suppressed. It is only because of the rise of the Jin Kingdom that Yang Huaiyu was able to remain in the army. However, after the demise of the Jin Kingdom, he will definitely be idle. Unless a national war occurs, he may be re-activated, otherwise he can only rest assured and provide some advice to the government in certain military aspects.

"Haha, it would be great if Brother Huaiyu wants to go to Europe. Speaking of which, our children have grown up, and it is time to enjoy a happy life." Zhao Yan also laughed when he heard this. He remembered that when he met Yang Huaiyugang, the other party was still a down-and-out general. Now that so many years have passed, the other party is already a famous general all over the world. These things just think about them makes people feel a little moved.

A few days later, the Jin Dynasty's mission finally came outside the Linhuang Mansion City, but Zhao Yan did not come forward. Because Wu Qimai was deceived by Yelu Nuzhang, he thought he had lost power, so he had the idea of ​​seeking peace. If he suddenly appeared here at this time, Wu Qimai would immediately understand the fraud. Therefore, Zhao Yan's itinerary for Linhuang Mansion this time was also kept secret. Before the matter was finished, he would only command in secret instead of coming forward.

According to Zhao Yan's control behind the scenes, the Song Dynasty was also very enthusiastic. Not only was Yang Huaiyu personally welcomed him, but there were also negotiating ministers sent by the Song Dynasty court. This also made the Jin Dynasty's mission feel flattered, and at the same time he was more confident about the peace-seeking matter. Even when they first met, they sent Aguda to the Song Dynasty to show their sincerity. This made Zhao Yan overjoyed and wondered whether he should meet Aguda first? (To be continued.)
