Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1122 - 1122 Decision

1122 Decision

<Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City>

The officials were nervous.

After all, if they truly wanted to conquer another kingdom, a thorough planning would be required. It would be impossible for them to just launch an attack to another kingdom without considering the other kingdoms around them.

It was precisely because of this that the officials were nervous.

Especially those from Department of Defense.

They were already doing countless simulations until the officials had panda eyes and nearly didn’t sleep at all for days.

Right now, they were all gathering in the main hall.

Each one of them was giving the report to the Emperor. These scrolls were all sealed and only the Emperor could read it in order to prevent any leakage of information.

After all, there might be some spies sneaking in from other kingdoms.

.....

Even Fei Yang Kingdom itself have spies in other kingdoms, how confident were they to make sure that there would be no spies at all among the officials at the court?

Tick! Tock!

The time is ticking.

Emperor Yang Zhou was reviewing the plan that Prime Minister Xian finally approved. This Xian Si had quite the plan and added with Prime Minister Lan who used to be a general on the battlefield, Emperor Yang Zhou had to say that their plan was not that bad.

At the very least, if it succeeded, they will be able to conquer Wei Da kingdom.

“How confident are you in this plan?” Emperor Yang Zhou asked Prime Minister Xian.

The other officials also looked at Prime Minister Xian either covertly or openly. Some people dared to look at him directly but those others didn’t dare to and only sneaked some glances from time to time.

They knew that this plan had been approved.

This time, Emperor Yang Zhou reviewed again because the time was approaching.

Everyone was nervous.

This will naturally include Emperor Yang Zhou. Even though his face looked as if he didn’t have thoughts at all, the officials all knew that Emperor Yang Zhou himself wanted to participate in the war directly.

But they didn’t dare to let him go.

The Capital City had only stabilized recently and for this first battle, Emperor Yang Zhou ended up symbolically sending the soldiers off just a few days ago. It was not a grand ceremony because most of the soldiers were already at the frontline.

At the same time, Emperor Yang Zhou was also nervous.

Years of preparation all came down to this very moment. If their attack failed, it meant that they would have to prepare more, but the problem was their people wouldn’t be able to withstand being in the state of total war for prolonged time.

It will exhaust their resources.

Emperor Yang Zhou is not stupid.

He knew it very well.

“70% certainties, Your Majesty.” Prime Minister Xian cupped his fist and kowtowed on the ground.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Prime Minister Xian without any change in his expression, but the corner of his lips curled up a bit.

70% was actually already pretty good.

It was precisely because Fei Yang Kingdom might also face the attack from other kingdoms such as Zhang Xu Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom.

“This is the start of total war. Send more letters to other commanders at the borders to prepare them for the onslaught of other kingdoms!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Now that they were aiming for Wei Da Kingdom, it is important to keep the border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom along with the border between Shi Long Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom stable.

If there were any problem, it would be troublesome.

Very troublesome.

Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t want to catch a kitchen but lose the house. It would not be worth it at all.

“In this battle, General Long and General Wei will have the same authorities as Great General!”

The officials listened and felt that their heartbeat were rising.

Some of them who were older could faintly recall the days when Emperor Huan, Emperor Yang Zhou’s Grandfather, was still reigning. How this great general system showed the dominance of Fei Yang Kingdom in front of other kingdoms and eventually placed them to be one of the most powerful kingdoms.

Even when compared to the other five big kingdoms, their power must be among the top three!

Will such day repeat itself?

Even at bigger dominance?

These officials had anticipation written on their faces.

They really hoped that the great legend written during Emperor Huan’s Era will be able to rewritten in the hand of this young emperor. It was only this way that their Fei Yang Kingdom could become everlasting.

Among the officials, Song Chuan stood inconspicuously.

He felt that being able to work for Long Family, even if it was only done covertly, was still something he felt proud of. General Long and General Wei were both appointed to have the same power as Great General during Emperor Huan’s era.

That era of war was also the era of powerful generals.

Countless famous generals made their names during that era.

And the only way to overtake their legend would be to make an even better legend. A legend that even Emperor Huan didn’t manage to realize.

Unification.

Song Chuan knew that it was the dream of their current Emperor.

An ambitious dream.

Yet it didn’t seem to be completely impossible.

‘At the very minimum, it is necessary to have 3 Great Generals. It’ll be even better if there are five Great Generals, one for each kingdom.’

But Song Chuan knew that the term ‘Great General’ was not simply adding the word ‘Great’ in front of ‘General.’

This title carried meanings more than that.

But with Emperor Yang Zhou hoping for them to take down the other kingdoms and annexed them into Fei Yang Kingdom, Song Chuan also knew that there were not many people who were qualified for this title.

It was too fast.

Too fast for some people to grow.
