Chapter 1737 The News from Other Areas (3)
Shangguan Xian furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the letter in his hand. Not only General Feng, he had also received the summon from the Emperor in order to readjust his tactics.
"Are we going to go back soon?" Shangguan Xiao asked his older brother.
"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.'
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.
