Chapter 628 The Race is On

??Nan Hua was listening from the side and said nothing. Even though she knew their future in the battlefield, things could still change because of her interference. There were already many things that she had changed in the past, so there was no guarantee that she would be able to make sure the future would stay the same.

??Nan Hua looked at her older cousin for a moment before lowering her eyes once more. The only person who appeared in the original story for a long period of time was Feng Ao Si because he was a commander. But his rank didn't rise as fast as it is right now.

??He was considered to be an ordinary commander that the main character, Long Qian Xing, could barely remember.

??At least, until it happened.

??"Oh, are you all talking about becoming a great general?"

??Hearing that voice, they all turned their head and saw Shangguan Xiao coming while dragging his older brother with him. From the smile on Shangguan Xiao's face, it was clear that he was feeling very happy.

??Long Qian Xing turned his gaze to look at Shangguan Xian. "Congratulations, General Shangguan."

??Shangguan Xian nodded coldly.

??"The youngest general in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom." Chi Song Lian's eyes turned colder when he saw Shangguan Xian. Shangguan Xian was only 25 years old this year, but he had already been promoted to become a general after his father's death.

??Probably, he was thought to be the one most suited to become a general.

??"Temporarily youngest." Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He was 7 years younger than Shangguan Xian and naturally had the confidence to be able to become a general within the next few years.

??"Hmm, that's because I'll surpass my brother soon," Shangguan Xiao added from the side.

??Shangguan Xiao was three years younger than his older brother. Right now, he was already a 5000 men commander. If he continued to gain meritorious deeds, he would surely be the next person to be promoted to become a general.

??Chi Song Lian looked at Shangguan Xiao coldly. "I'll surpass you soon."

??"The race is on." Shangguan Xiao grinned.

??"The others are not going to let us take the head from them." Shangguan Xian passed a look at Shangguan Xiao.

??"Ah, you mean that Wei person and that other one?" Chi Song Lian furrowed his eyebrows. There were several young commanders but the remarkable ones were limited.

??As of now, aside from them, there were only two other promising young commanders who had started to make their name in the battlefield. Young Commander Wei was stationed at the north of Fei Yang Kingdom and rarely went back to the Capital City, thus prevented the others from meeting him.

??The other one was a commoner born and in this battle, he didn't participate in the biggest battle and participated in the others. While he did gain some meritorious deed, he didn't come to the banquet today.

??There were really too many competitors.

??"Yes." Shangguan Xiao smiled evilly.

??Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at Shangguan Xiao and felt that this strategist type commander was very sly. He must have purposely mentioned the other two in order to increase the pressure. Though, it was also true that the two other young commanders were indeed very good.

??"There will be some changes in the military soon." Long Qian Xing looked at the others and smirked. He was close to Emperor Yang Zhou and naturally got the information right from the very source.

??Emperor Yang Zhou was very ambitious.

??And that goal was coincidentally in line with what Long Qian Xing also hoped to achieve.

??"What kind of changes?" Shangguan Xiao was immediately interested. "I also heard some news from some people that there will be some changes, but they refused to tell me anything when I asked."

??"The plan is not complete yet." Long Qian Xing was not surprised that Shangguan Xiao would know something like this. With Shangguan Xiao's capabilities, he would surely be able to get some news first hand.

??"As you know, Fei Yang Kingdom implement independent armies and give a lot of freedom to the leading generals. Back then, there are three Great Generals who lead from the front with a few additional few who supported them from behind." Long Qian Xing smiled faintly.

??The other generals were actually also very good, but their fame was not as good as the three leading Great Generals. It was also because of this that there were only three generals who earned the title great.

??"Yes, but that kind of method is very costly." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Long Qian Xing.

??At that time, it had caused quite a lot of development to be slowed down because the kingdom focused on war and gave a lot of freedom to the generals. It was only in the past two decades that the development in other matters had started to catch up.

??It was not impossible to start that plan.

??But it would definitely cause some disturbances. And this time, the disturbances would be quite big considering Emperor Yang Zhou's ambition.

??"The revival of new Great Generals." Nan Luo's eyes shone. "Doesn't it mean that we'll be able to contend for that position?"

??The others turned to look at Nan Luo then nodded their head.

??Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "Yes, but the slot hasn't been determined. And so far, there are already a few existing generals who will make it to the list."

??"Ah?"

??Great General Nan was naturally not included. It was uncertain how long he would be able to stand on the battlefield. With the wound he sustained along with his old age, there were many people who thought that Old Master Nan would not return to the battlefield.

??"Can you think who it'll be?" Long Qian Xing swept his gaze across the people in front of him.
