Chapter 1851 Disbelief
“Yes, I know, General Ruan,” General Qiang replied. General Ruan looked at this young general and waved his hand to dismiss General Qiang. He still had to think of the battle plan tomorrow so that they would not be destroyed by Fei Yang Kingdom.
No, the first thing he needed to do was to raise the morale of his soldiers.
When he thought of the things that he had to do, General Ruan only felt more and more frustrated.
…
<Long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City>
Bang!
“Heavenly General Tan is killed?”
The ministers were all shocked when the messenger came during their morning court. There were special methods for them to send message in code so that they would know the situation on the battlefield.
The death of a heavenly general was definitely a major event.
“Your Majesty, we have to stop Fei Yang Kingdom’s arrogance!”
“Your Majesty, please do something!”
Some ministers were terrified. If Fei Yang Kingdom truly reached the Capital City, their fates might turn to the worst. After all, many officials from the other two kingdoms had been dismissed after Fei Yang Kingdom took charge of them.
What would happen to them?
The Emperor listened to the words of the ministers and furrowed his eyebrows.
He thought that by sending the three powerful heavenly general, he would be able to settle the three areas that Fei Yang Kingdom attacked. At the very least, he was proven correct when General Feng had to retreat in the face of Heavenly General Bao.
But Heavenly General Tan failed instead.
How annoying.
“Silence!” Emperor Shi Wang roared in anger. These people were all buzzing like bees, making his head hurt even more. He had long wanted to rest, but the morning court simply destroyed any thoughts he had about resting.
There were still many ladies waiting for him!
Prime Minister Zhi watched the scene and sighed. “Your Majesty, it’s best if we could pick a new Heavenly General as soon as possible and send reinforcement to the south to prevent them from entering deeper into our territory.”
“The selection of Heavenly General couldn’t be done so hastily. There are a lot of generals who are eyeing this position.” Prime Minister Dou shook his head in agreement. “But I believe that His Majesty have the best eyes for this.”
The other ministers all watched from below.
They had long gotten used to these two people fighting and arguing with each other. In fact, the two prime minister simply couldn’t cooperate together because of their many differences.
Thankfully, the situation on the court was still relatively peaceful. Prime Minister Zhi was actually the best in terms of solving many problems. But Prime Minister Dou had the best mouth in delivering whatever he wanted in accordance to the Emperor’s taste.
It was also because of these two advantages that the position of prime ministers was held firmly by these two people. “Where’s General Huan?” Emperor Shi Wang could only remember the few generals who were still active.
General Huan was one of the few generals who were not stationed on the frontline and had been staying not far from the Capital City. At the same time, she was the only female general in Shi Long Kingdom.
But many people didn’t like her.
Because of this reason, General Huan hadn’t been given any important assignment so far and instead stayed near Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City.
“Replying to His Majesty, General Huan is located in City Shi Shui.” One of the ministers knew the answer.
“Tell her to go to the frontline and lead more soldiers. Um, you will make the arrangement.” Emperor Shi Wang nodded.
Prime Minister Dou frowned. “Your Majesty, would it be appropriate to have her be the one to come forward on the frontline?”
He didn’t like General Huan either because he felt that she was not suitable to be a general. But her achievement on the battlefield over the years was for them all to see, so no one could deny it. But asking her to be the Heavenly General…
Many of them couldn’t accept it.
“There are not many generals without assignment.” Emperor Shi Wang was too lazy to think more.
These generals were either already sent to the frontline or still in the process of being selected. After all, the death of generals has been quite common after Fei Yang Kingdom invaded their territory.
There were not many generals left who could be used on the frontline.
“In that case, let’s use her but not raise her rank.” Prime Minister Zhi knew that many people didn’t like General Huan. He himself didn’t have much opinion because as long as she was capable enough, that was all they needed.
But since Emperor Shi Wang himself didn’t want to see General Huan so much, he had to make sure to fit the situation to his needs.
“That’s it then.” Emperor Shi Wang nodded.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty is wise.”
The ministers couldn’t do anything and finally followed Emperor Shi Wang’s order.
Only Prime Minister Dou was a bit upset. The other general who didn’t have any assignment was his brother, General Dou. But it was clear that Emperor Shi Wang didn’t have much intention to put this general to use on the battle against Fei Yang Kingdom.
He felt a bit upset, but he couldn’t go against Emperor Shi Wang, so he could only stay silent and accepted this arrangement.
…
<Not long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City, Kuang Shen’s Residence>
The news of the Emperor’s appointment for General Huan to lead the soldiers to the south was not a secret and naturally spread. Some nobles were annoyed, but some others just accepted this arrangement.
Anyway, the frontline was far away from them.
There wouldn’t be any problem for them even if General Huan was selected as the leader.
As long as she was not appointed as the Heavenly General, they didn’t have much to complain about.
