1504 New Youngest General (1)

As Long Qian Xing explained faintly about Prime Minister Lei's movement and possible reinforcement, Emperor Yang Zhou's expression was not too good.

In fact, he had already realized that the real backbone in Zhang Xu Kingdom was this prime minister.

"If we want to defeat Zhang Xu Kingdom, Prime Minister Lei had to die," Emperor Yang Zhou said simply.

When conquering a kingdom, many ministers were still alive and well even after their kingdom was destroyed because the kingdom that conquered them also needed people who could work. If they killed all these officials, who would work and take care of many internal matters?

The people from Fei Yang Kingdom alone was also limited.

They needed more people whom they could use. These people had to be talented and willing to be under Fei Yang Kingdom or it would be a double edged sword.

Emperor Yang Zhou didn't want to keep so many troublesome double edged sword who could attack him at any time.

"The people His Majesty sent to Zhang Xu Kingdom back then…"

"Start using them." Emperor Yang Zhou sneered. "I don't believe that they will be able to stand firm when there's more internal problem."

Long Qian Xing cupped his fist. "I understand, Your Majesty."

Nan Hua listened their cryptic word and came to a realization. No wonder that her people sent her message, saying that there were already many internal problems in Zhang Xu Kingdom. Even if they didn't do anything and only add some fuel from time to time, it was enough to cause some chaos.

As it turned out, there were already people under Emperor Yang Zhou and Long Qian Xing who sneaked into Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Should she say, as expected of a person who was written into the annals of history as a great person?

War is cruel.

War is deceptive.

War is also cunning.

For the sake of victory, various methods were used. Be it morally acceptable or not, as long as they could use it, why did they not use all kind of means they had?

They could do it.

So they simply employed the means.

Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand. "Go. I'll tell Great General Wei and General Chi about your new deployment. The battle later will definitely be more interesting."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two of them curtsied in accordance to the etiquette suitable for their gender and then walked out of the tent.

Emperor Yang Zhou watched the two of them walked away and shook his head lightly. He waited until they were already a distance away before speaking to the guard outside, "Call Great General Wei here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Great General Wei was clearly already waiting for him and quickly came inside. He cupped his fist to Emperor Yang Zhou in greetings.

"Jun Hua will be a temporary general. Assign the soldiers formerly under General Cao and General Chi to her. How she deals with their disobedience is up to her," Emperor Yang Zhou gave his order.

Great General Wei was surprised, but he simply cupped his fist and said that he obeyed the instruction.

Watching the great general left, Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the map in front of him.

The corner of his lips curled up to form a faint smile.

…

Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing walked away from Emperor Yang Zhou's tent. She looked at Long Qian Xing's appearance as they got out.

There were not many things that could be seen.

It was clear that Long Qian Xing was also a person who controlled his expression very well. He would not leak out anything if he didn't want to. But as a person who had been paying close attention to him, Nan Hua still noticed some things.

Long Qian Xing was feeling apprehensive right now.

"General Xing is very resourceful and ambitious," Nan Hua said quietly.

Long Qian Xing's eyes flickered when he heard Nan Hua's words. He laughed lightly. "Even if I'm powerful, the most important thing is to be careful and cautious."

If he didn't stay careful and allowed himself to fall for his opponent's trap, his hard work would be useless.

Thus, Long Qian Xing would pay attention to his words and action.

He didn't want to add unnecessary troubles for himself.

Of course, those who wanted to calculate him and take advantage of him would be the first to be eliminated.

"Yes." Nan Hua was silent for a moment and then added, "I'll be careful."

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and smiled helplessly. He knew very well that this girl in front of him was actually more cautious than him. Even he couldn't find out her real identity if not for the clues she dropped in front of him.

When she wanted to, she could switch her identity from one to another seamlessly.

Since she was confident in this matter, he will trust her.

"If you need my help, you can ask anytime." Long Qian Xing looked at the distant sky. It was afternoon and the sky was really bright.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered. She could hear the other meaning from Long Qian Xing's words that he would side with her if anything were to happen. Perhaps, only those who truly trusted each other could give such a promise.

And Long Qian Xing was not a person who would not follow his promise and words.

Since he had said it, it was estimated that he will definitely do it.

"I will, General Xing."

Long Qian Xing heard faint commotion from the distance and saw Great General Wei was walking towards General Chi's area. He thought about Emperor Yang Zhou's words and chuckled lightly. "Please take care of me, General Jun."

General Jun?

Nan Hua looked at General Chi's area and noticed that they had just dragged a young commander out. Her eyes flickered, understanding what had just happened.

She turned to look at Long Qian Xing and showed a smile.

"Likewise, General Xing."
