"Why, Prime Minister Xian?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked slowly, but it was clear that he might not be as calm as he looked on the surface.

He should not approve Prime Minister Xian's sudden suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure you have already seen the performance of our ministers group who are helping the war through formulating strategies over the past few years," instead of answering, Prime Minister Xian said this.

Emperor Yang Zhou nodded.

Beside Emperor Yang Zhou, Prime Minister Lan also nodded his head imperceptibly. He might be in charge of many other things too in the kingdom, but when it came to war strategy talk, The would also be present.

Even if he didn't say anything, his presence alone was more than enough most of the time. They didn't really expect him to contribute much to the talk since Prime Minister Lan was not exactly the one in charge of this.

"While we managed to make the main strategy, the development would have to depend on the generals's performance and ideas. Without their capabilities, the wars would not have been won. And there are many times when they put their lives in danger on the frontline," Prime Minister Xian said slowly.

Everyone was silent.

They knew that this is true.

During the war with Shi Long Kingdom, Long Qian Xing ventured deep into the enemy's line at the south and fought from there. There was barely any help that Fei Yang Kingdom could give to them.

It was also because of this that many people admired Long Qian Xing greatly.

Because he was basically alone for a long period of time and had to fight on his own without many people helping him but he was able to last for a much longer time.

In the end, he won the war.

His enemies were all powerful and they have more soldiers but Fei Yang Kingdom won in the end.

Was it because of the help of these ministers?

They could only use the fastest smoke signal to relay their order.

And with these orders, the generals would know more or less what they should do in some situations. But most of the time, the generals would not ask them.

Why?

Because it would take too long.

The distance between Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and the frontline was simply too far away.

In the first three kingdoms, these generals were not too far away, so they could still provide more help. Buts from Shi Long Kingdom, due to the tactic that they decided to make, some generals couldn't receive their help.

Now, the battle against Fan Yi Kingdom was basically the same.

They couldn't provide any help when they were so far away and whatever messages they wanted to send to the frontline were delayed.

"Your Majesty, the long distance will make the communication difficult," Prime Minister Xian said slowly. "The road has been fixed and has been expanded for the army to pass, but our communication method is not enough. In the next period of time, Fei Yang Kingdom would have to face Qi Xi Kingdom and also the Northern tribe. If we're too far away from the frontline, we wouldn't be able to provide much help."

...

Author's Note: communication in this time period is naturally different from us. Those who delivered the letters could only go by using horses or even birds. But there's a limit to how far

the horses and the birds could go.

They needed rest.

Fei Yang Kingdom's size had expanded greatly when they conquer other kingdoms. It would take several days for one message to arrive and to go back and forth, let's assume it would

take an entire week.

For the war where any moment is crucial, it was too late.
