FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 1872 Fei Yang Kingdom’s Defeat (3)



Chapter 1872  Fei Yang Kingdom’s Defeat (3)

They were confident that Shangguan Xian already had the qualification to challenge these Heavenly Generals. After all, Shangguan Xian had been fighting against Heavenly General Sang for some time, so the officials still knew about this. But in the reports before, Shangguan Xian was able to handle the situation well. So they were confident that everything would turn out to be fine.

As for Heavenly General Bao coming, it might be because of General Feng’s defeat at the north of Shi Long Kingdom not long ago. Heavenly General Bao was facing General Feng, but General Feng was truly no this opponents.

The end result was naturally a disastrous defeat for Fei Yang Kingdom’s side.

At that time, the officials had been a bit disappointed.

But thinking about the difference between Heavenly General Bao and General Feng, they could still accept it. After all, General Feng was far from famous and didn’t seem to have any remarkable achievement. But his advantage was that he was stable over the years and able to defend the border well. Thus, he was able to keep his title as the general from Fei Yang Kingdom.

No officials ever have any trouble with this matter either.

But now, they realized that the sequence of the defeat from General Feng spread towards General Shangguan. The combination of the army and two Heavenly Generals from Shi Long Kingdom was too much for him to bear.

Still, it didn’t erase their disappointment. They had been expecting a lot from Shangguan Xian, who was said to be the next Great General after his grandfather. After the death of Great General Shangguan and other general and commanders from Shangguan Family, this family seemed to have lost their brilliance.

They seemed to feel that Shangguan Xian was truly not comparable to his grandfather back then. While the officials were discussing with each other, Emperor Yang Zhou also calculated this matter and sighed. It seemed that he was also too hasty in his decision and wished too much. The defeat of Fei Yang Kingdom couldn’t be separated from his fault in his decision making. After all, he was the one who gave the order for Shangguan Xian back then. But there was something more important to do than talking about who to blame for this matter.

“Send message to Great General Long.” Emperor Yang Zhou’s eyes were sharp. “He will lead the soldiers in spring next year.”

After years of accumulation, it seemed that he put his expectation on Shangguan Xian too high. Even if this young man was the person who was the most familiar with Shi Long Kingdom, it was still impossible for him to defeat that big kingdom.

Or it was more like, he also underestimated Shi Long Kingdom.

The years of battles might have wearied Shi Long Kingdom slightly, but it was not like they didn’t have anyone on the battlefield who could fight. Those annoying nobles were also having powerful descendants who could fight on the battlefield.

They hadn’t shone yet and the famous ones were already thrown out. Shi Long Kingdom wouldn’t let them win so easily and he had to think of another method to make sure that his dream could continue. Right now, the only option was to sent Great General Long, who had proposed the plan back then. Waiting a few more months seemed to be more acceptable than sending another young general and suffer more losses. The deaths of so many soldiers would be useless if they couldn’t win in the end. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What’s the detail of the battle?” Emperor Yang Zhou asked another question. “This…” The messenger was at loss. Because of the long distance, they could only rely on the simple code message through smoke and fire. It was also because of this that he didn’t know the details.

“Forget it.” Emperor Yang Zhou turned to look at Prime Minister Xian. He knew that the details of the war aside from knowing who the leaders were would have to wait for some time. “The border will be at risk and General Xing is still at the south. Do you have any suggestion to solve this problem, Prime Minister Xian?”

Prime Minister Xian’s expression was solemn. “Your Majesty, the border still has to be guarded. Even if General Shangguan had lost, it’s impossible for us to let Shi Long Kingdom counterattack and invade our territory. For the time being, there’s nothing we can do about General Xing.”

“Is that so?” Emperor Yang Zhou furrowed his eyebrows.

it would be a lie if he said that he was not worried about Long Qian Xing who was alone at the south. They were far away from the areas where the other commanders could send reinforcement at will.

But he suppressed this worry.

As a general, Long Qian Xing knew the risk of his profession very well. Since he had decided to take on this method, he will trust the other party.

Now, the most important thing is to settle the problem at their border with Shi Long Kingdom.

“General Shangguan is still alive and he could protect the border for the time being, but his army suffered a lot of losses, so a new replacement is needed,” Prime Minister Xian said carefully. The history of Shangguan Family and their sacrifice for Fei Yang Kingdom was very clear. So even if Shangguan Xian had lost so terribly, no one ever mentioned the matter of removing him from his title. They would let him be the general, but it was unlikely for him to be selected as the leader for any big campaign again in the future. Emperor Yang Zhou also could understand what Prime Minister Xian meant. He glanced at Prime Minister Lan at the side. In terms of military, Prime Minister Lan would not lose at all when giving suggestions.

“The new commander….”

While Fei Yang Kingdom’s situation was extremely solemn, Shi Long Kingdom was the complete opposite. Hearing the news of victory that was delivered at the fastest speed possible, Emperor Shi Wang was laughing heartily.
