Chapter 1754 Events in the Capital City (3)

"I want to volunteer myself to go for the second method," amidst the discussion, Shangguan Xian spoke up after being asked for their opinion.

"Reason." Prime Minister Xian looked at Shangguan Xian calmly.

"My army is familiar with Shi Long Kingdom's method and I have dealt with them for years. Even if my role is to defend, but I have taken a few cities. The first methods will definitely take much longer and required so many soldiers. However, the second method is not the same. I don't need so many soldiers, just 200,000 will be enough to conquer Shi Long Kingdom." Shangguan Xian's eyes were sharp.

"200,000?" General Feng frowned. He had also fought against Shi Long Kingdom and commanded more than 50,000 soldiers for many years. But it was not easy for him to go against Shi Long Kingdom over the years. "I don't think that will be enough. At least 600,000 will be required."

"General Feng, you're too conservative. If so many soldiers are needed, how is it possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to maintain the current state?" Shangguan Xian disagreed.

Assigning too many soldiers to fight against Shi Long Kingdom would only put the overall balance to be broken. Right now, they still needed a lot of forces to conquer the remnants from Zhang Xu Kingdom, which was the main reason why this meeting was held.

The number of soldiers that can be assigned by Fei Yang Kingdom was indeed limited.

Great General Long listened calmly. To be honest, he thought of not coming here before, but after seeing the devastation that his son had created on the north, he realized that there was no point in staying there for the time being. Anyway, participating here could also allow him to have some insight about this Prime Minister Xian.

The tactics and many other letters sent from Prime Minister Xian contained many things that he himself didn't expect, so he was a bit interested to hear more from this prime minister.

"In my opinion, it's indeed requiring to have 600,000 soldiers." Great General Long said from the side. "But if it's handed to me, I'll wait until next year before waging a war against Shi Long Kingdom." New novel chapters are published on

With his merits so far, he might not be removed from position. But it was inevitable that he would not be used for any important position in the war anymore. It would be quite unbearable for a young general to be subjected to such treatment.

"If we opted for the second option, talk to me about your suggestion, General Shangguan Xian." Prime Minister Xian finally looked in Shangguan Xian direction.

...

Old Master Nan listened to their debates and also how everything concluded in the end. Emperor Yang Zhou chose to listen to Shangguan Xian and ordered him to march in summer along with 200,000 soldiers.

If this meant that Fei Yang Kingdom could conquer Shi Long Kingdom faster, he chose to listen to the young general.

At the same time, a few 5000 men commanders were promoted to become a general in this meeting to follow Shangguan Xian to conquer Shi Long Kingdom.

'There are so many generals now.'

Old Master Nan listened to their surnames and shook his head. Some of them belonged to the nobility and the others were those of lower status who managed to rise up after a few years.

He hoped these new generals would be able to play their roles.

'General Bo, General Bu, and General Di.'

Temporary generals with a lot of soldiers under them.

After listening to the meetings, Old Master Nan walked back to his own residence. After all, there was no role for him in the war next. He himself was already old and had no intention to roam on the battlefield with his battered body anymore.
