Chapter 1737 The News from Other Areas (3)

"Not so soon." Shangguan Xian stood up. "Stabilize this area and then return to the Capital City. I want to request to be the leader for our invasion to Shi Long Kingdom."

Hearing his older brother\'s words, Shangguan Xiao\'s pupil shrunk in surprise. While knew that his older brother is a very ambitious man, but he didn\'t expect that Shangguan Xian would want to be the leader.

There were still Great General Long and Great General Wei above him who might more likely to be deployed.

"If you were to step forward, the other two generals might not be too happy," Shangguan Xiao reminded.

In the conquest to Zhang Xu Kingdom back then, it was Great General Wei who led the army. And the Emperor might trust Great General Wei more than Shangguan Xian who didn\'t have great achievements aside from killing some generals in this area.

But compared to the famous Great General Wei and Great General Long… it seemed a bit lacking.

Shangguan Xian furrowed his eyebrows and then shook his head. "I still want to try. This can be my great chance."

Chance to prove himself.

Shangguan Xiao looked at his older brother who was walking away and sighed deeply. Staying with his older brother, he knew that Shangguan Xian was not very happy to be compared to Long Qian Xing and the other few younger generation commanders.

Many said that he was not comparable to Long Qian Xing, who was able to push Fan Yi Kingdom back.

So Shangguan Xian wanted a chance to prove himself.

And now that Fei Yang Kingdom was slowly setting their sight to the other three big kingdoms remaining, he wanted to be the one to take the lead to lead their soldiers against Shi Long Kingdom.

\'In that case, I\'ll try to support you.\'

Shangguan Xiao also wanted to become a general, but it was likely that the Emperor would not want two generals to appear from the same family in the same generation. Not to mention, Shangguan Xian\'s soldiers were much more than other generals due to the soldiers who used to follow their father, grandfather, and the others following him.

So in a way, Shangguan Xian\'s soldiers were comparable to that of a great general.

But his rank was still that of a general.

It might be because of the comparison of what he could not do with twice as many soldiers as Long Qian Xing but that man could do it that Shangguan Xian became more ambitious.

Shangguan Xiao stood up and returned to his own tent.

The battle is not over yet.

…

<Border Between Fan Yi Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom, the north west area of Fei Yang Kingdom and the south west area of Fan Yi Kingdom>

Great General Wei was still busy chasing after the remaining general of Zhang Xu Kingdom and the other \'rebels\' who stayed in the areas west of the former area of Zhang Xu Kingdom. It was not an easy task as there were many of them here.

It was also during this time that he managed to retrain more of the new soldiers who joined his army.

After the battles with Zhang Xu Kingdom, the number of soldiers under his command decreased. He had to recruit more soldiers in order to make sure that there were more people who could protect Fei Yang Kingdom.

"Great General Wei, there\'s a letter from the Imperial Family."

Letter from the Imperial Family?

Great General Wei furrowed his eyebrows, thinking of that young Emperor from back then and nodded. It has been a while since Zhang Xu Kingdom\'s fall and many cities had regained their function again under Fei Yang Kingdom. The progress couldn\'t be said to be fast nor slow, but it was enough to let them operate well.

Taking the letter, Great General Wei read the content one line after another and then he nodded.

"Tell the messenger that I understand."

The soldier was stunned.

That\'s it?

Great General Wei didn\'t explain more and instead called for his son to see him in his tent. He had something to talk about with his son.

Soon, Young Commander Wei, Wei Mu Bai, came to see his father as fast as possible. He cupped his fist when he saw his father, "Great General Wei."

Because of discipline, neither Wei Mu Bai nor Wei Mu Ya, his sister, would call their father with the word \'father\' in the camp. Their father has always been strict with them and it was the only way for them to be able to maintain the discipline and remember that they couldn\'t just use their father\'s name without working hard.

"Mu Bai, you will be going to the Capital City."

Going to the capital city from here?

Wei Mu Bai was stunned. The distance between here to the capital city was very far. If he were to go by himself with horse, he could reach it in about two weeks. But if he had to go with his army, then it would definitely take more than one month.

The exact time would depend on the weather during the journey and so on.

Because of Zhang Xu Kingdom\'s fall, Fei Yang Kingdom\'s territory has become extremely large. It was officially the biggest kingdom among the last four big kingdoms. Even Shi Long Kingdom could only contend with them because of their recent battles to the south.

This has also caused the communication between the generals to the Capital City to be quite difficult.

Also, it\'s early winter.

When they departed, the snow will come down and hinder their movement even more.

"Yes, Father?" Wei Mu Bai asked carefully.

"His Majesty would like to arrange the next step in conquering the lands." Great General Wei had known of Emperor Yang Zhou\'s ambition, so he was very clear about this point.
