Chapter 1734 Troublesome Generals

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.\'

Prime Minister Lan looked at the report in his hand, not knowing whether to hand it over to Emperor Yang Zhou or not. Because there hadn\'t been any really good news from the frontline.

Even if the confrontation between the generals resulted in Fei Yang Kingdom side\'s victory, it was not total victory and the opponent was still stationed there. Battles still break out from time to time, preventing them from resting even if they wanted to.

"The situation hadn\'t truly stabilized yet, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Lan coughed.

Emperor Yang Zhou took a deep breath and nodded. He had to admit that he was a bit impatient, but being besieged from three sides were not very good. The remnants soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom was still making trouble while Fan Yi Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom seemed to be unwilling to let them go.

What could he do?

He could only order the generals to fight head on to prevent them from entering Fei Yang Kingdom\'s land and possibly caused more problems.

"What are their plans now?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked.

The Great General system allowed the great generals on the battlefield to launch battles as they deemed fit. This would allow them to be able to move faster on the frontline, but this would also mean that Emperor Yang Zhou wouldn\'t be the first to know about their moves.

It\'s a gamble of both trust and loyalty.

"Replying to Your Majesty, Great General Long sent a message that he wanted to go to the north." Prime Minister Lan swallowed.

"North?" Emperor Yang Zhou thought of the border with Fan Yi Kingdom and furrowed his eyebrows. "Great General Wei will be the one to take care of the north later. There\'s no need for him to step forward."

"Great General Long had already asked General Feng to replace his position…"

In other words: he had already made the decision.

Emperor Yang Zhou: "…"

He felt that these people were truly willful. But who made them also very capable on the frontline to the point that it was hard for their enemies to say anything in front of them?

"It would not be easy for General Feng to replace him."

"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.
