Chapter 1952 Shangguan Xiao’s Plan
“General Shangguan, they’re still trying to attack us fiercely. The number of casualties are increasing,” the soldier gave report. General Shangguan, Shangguan Xiao, was silent. He was not used using this title that used to be his brother’s title yet. But with his brother’s words, he was indeed appointed as the general in this area and responsible for Fei Yang Kingdom’s defense until the next general arrival. Shangguan Xian will never return to the battlefield. Not after what he had experienced here. And Shangguan Xiao himself would rather let his brother rest so that he didn’t have to face the treacherous situation on the battlefield anymore. “I know. We can’t retreat,” Shangguan Xiao said calmly. “Adjust the formation for the next battle. We’re still going for a protected battle.”
“Yes, General!”
“How about the food supply?”
“Governor Feng from the city nearby had arranged for more supplies to be sent to the frontline.”
Governor Feng?
Shangguan Xiao struggled to remember who it was before he remembered that one of General Feng’s brother seemed to have become the governor in a small city not far from Wind City.
Even though his own power back then was rather lacking, but he was steadily growing with the support of the people in Wind City and the small city. If Shangguan Xiao was not wrong, this man was now in charge of two cities at the same time.
Of course, his official position was only in one city.
He forgot the name of the city, but it was indeed a bit closer to the frontline. And for a long time when General Feng was defending on this border, his brother kept on helping him by sending the necessary supplies. Now even without General Feng’s presence, Governor Feng was still helping the soldiers on the frontline. “He’s a good governor,” Shangguan Xiao said and then nodded. “Send my regards to him.”
“Yes, General Shangguan.”
Shangguan Xiao sighed and then looked at the battlefield in front of him. The gong had just sounded so both sides were retreating from the battlefield. It seemed that there was no result on either side as of yet and Shangguan Xiao planned to keep it this way. Until the reinforcement came or his own end, he would not let Fei Yang Kingdom lost again. “Once they had rested enough, call all the commanders.” “Yes, General Shangguan!”
Shangguan Xiao hoped that things would turn to the better for them soon. …

The battle against Shangguan Xiao was quite frustrating for the generals there. At the very least, each and every single one of them wanted to win, so they tried their best to make contributions and fought to their best. But Fei Yang Kingdom was simply too stubborn and they hadn’t been able to go forward. It couldn’t be said that they lost either because the amount of losses that Fei Yang Kingdom had to bear so far were bigger than them. Yet, saying that they won was not right either because they were stagnant here and couldn’t advance. “Heavenly General Sang, we apologize for not being able to fulfill your expectation,” the two temporary generals, General Ma and General Wu, bowed their heads in shame. They felt that they hadn’t done their job properly because they were not able to win against Fei Yang Kingdom in this battle. Previously, they were able to defeat Shangguan Xian and forced that general back under the leadership of Heavenly General Bao. It was such a glorious victory that they were all very excited and happy for the achievement that Shi Long Kingdom was able to achieve. After all, Fei Yang Kingdom has long been a thorn in their eyes and they were happy to be able to see them deflated. Of course, that alone was not enough. They also wished that they were able to lead Shi Long Kingdom to an even greater victory.
Thus, every single battle was fought with exceptional courage and stamina, trying their best to win against Fei Yang Kingdom. Unfortunately, the result hasn’t been ideal. “It’s fine.” Heavenly General Sang looked at the two generals in front of him and then said, “You did a good job in the battles.”
They did?
Both General Ma and General Wu still lowered their head, not answering Heavenly General Sang’s words. Because they knew that Heavenly General Sang was only saying this to console them and not really to tell them that they were doing a great job. Because they could sense that Heavenly General Sang was not happy. “You may go back.”
“Yes, Heavenly General Sang!”
The two temporary generals moved back, not daring to disturb Heavenly General Sang in the slightest bit. They didn’t want to irk this Heavenly General after their bad performance in the war not long ago. “They’re not a very good general, Heavenly General Sang.” General Dong looked at the two generals with a frown. “Why don’t you appoint new generals to replace them?”
“Replace them?” Heavenly General Sang repeated and then let out a faint laugh. “Then the two families Ma and Cao can make trouble in the Capital City.”
Hearing that, General Dong was silent. He was only thinking for Heavenly General Sang, but at the same time, he also knew the delicate political situation of Shi Long Kingdom. Because there were too many nobles with power and so on, they always had to consider this and that when they were making their decision. One of them was naturally the selection for generals. Heavenly General Sang felt that these two people were quite good back then. But after they were risen to the rank of a general, their performance was rather mediocre. If it was up to him, he would have long demoted them back. Unfortunately, the two of them have family background in Shi Long Kingdom that was quite strong. After they had been risen to the rank of a general, there was basically no chance to demote them again with their family background unless they wanted more troubles caused by the two families.
