Chapter 1734 Troublesome Generals

"Marriage...."

Shangguan Yu had never thought too much about marriage. Because of his situation, he knew very well that no women would be willing to marry him.

Back then, he didn't even think of getting married.

But the meeting with Princess Hu and her offer to him changed many things. The plans he had been cautiously made were changed to suit his current position even more. And in his eyes, he could only think of her as someone who had allowed this to happen.

At the beginning, he tried to accommodate Princess Hu.

But it was very clear that she was not willing to even share the same breathing space with him, so their relationship turned worse in an instant.

"Happiness is not something I should covet."

Shangguan Yu chuckled lightly and then focused his attention back to his book. He knew himself well and the fact that he could survive up until now was already something very good. He would not ask for more.

What he should do is to continue following the plan he had made. He shouldn't think of unnecessary things.

...

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace>

Emperor Yang Zhou no longer had any thought of going to the battlefield personally. Just the battle with Zhang Xu Kingdom back then had already caused many of his subordinate to be exhausted just to arrange for his safety and everything.

This was not the time for him to be so willful.

He had to consider the overall situation and needs of Fei Yang Kingdom in this stage. Several months had passed ever since Zhang Xu Kingdom's fall, but the situation on the frontline was still relatively chaotic.

"Are there any good news from the frontline?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked, specifically stressing on the word 'good.'

"General Shangguan had stated that he wanted to launch an offensive attack towards Shi Long Kingdom next year," Prime Minister Lan hurriedly added.

General Shangguan?

Shangguan Xian?

Emperor Yang Zhou recalled that youth and furrowed his eyebrows. Shangguan Xian was still categorized among the younger generations. While he was quite capable, but Emperor Yang Zhou didn't fully trust him yet.

"Tell him to push the opponent back first and then regroup in the Capital City to talk about the battle plan." Emperor Yang Zhou finally decided.

The decision to go on an all-out war was definitely not something that could be done hastily. They needed more preparation and Emperor Yang Zhou would rather wait until they were done with Zhang Xu Kingdom when they waged the all-out war against Shi Long Kingdom.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Anything else?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked when he saw Prime Minister Lan was staring at the report in his hand with troubled expression.

Prime Minister Lan raised his head with a bitter smile. "Your Majesty, General Xing requested that he and General Jun be moved to the south after winter started so that he would be able to help with the chaotic south area."

Chaotic south area.

It was their term for the south area of Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom. It was because there were many small kingdoms and small tribes that were living on the south.

Shi Long Kingdom had been expanding their territory to the south, which meant that they started to accept these small kingdoms and small tribes to be part of their kingdom. But the war there was chaotic and some of these small kingdoms refused to be under Shi Long Kingdom.

What awaited them was nothing more than more and more battles.

When Emperor Yang Zhou thought about that area, he already felt headache coming. Thankfully, there was no big movement that was able to overthrow a big kingdom. There were only a lot of problems that couldn't be solved directly, which affected the lives of the people who stayed in that area.

"Isn't there already a general stationed there?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked, his eyes narrowed.
