Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1754

Chapter 1754 Events in the Capital City (3)

"I want to volunteer myself to go for the second method," amidst the discussion, Shangguan Xian spoke up after being asked for their opinion.

"Reason." Prime Minister Xian looked at Shangguan Xian calmly.

"My army is familiar with Shi Long Kingdom's method and I have dealt with them for years. Even if my role is to defend, but I have taken a few cities. The first methods will definitely take much longer and required so many soldiers. However, the second method is not the same. I don't need so many soldiers, just 200,000 will be enough to conquer Shi Long Kingdom." Shangguan Xian's eyes were sharp.

"200,000?" General Feng frowned. He had also fought against Shi Long Kingdom and commanded more than 50,000 soldiers for many years. But it was not easy for him to go against Shi Long Kingdom over the years. "I don't think that will be enough. At least 600,000 will be required."

"General Feng, you're too conservative. If so many soldiers are needed, how is it possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to maintain the current state?" Shangguan Xian disagreed.

Assigning too many soldiers to fight against Shi Long Kingdom would only put the overall balance to be broken. Right now, they still needed a lot of forces to conquer the remnants from Zhang Xu Kingdom, which was the main reason why this meeting was held.

The number of soldiers that can be assigned by Fei Yang Kingdom was indeed limited.

Great General Long listened calmly. To be honest, he thought of not coming here before, but after seeing the devastation that his son had created on the north, he realized that there was no point in staying there for the time being. Anyway, participating here could also allow him to have some insight about this Prime Minister Xian.

The tactics and many other letters sent from Prime Minister Xian contained many things that he himself didn't expect, so he was a bit interested to hear more from this prime minister.

"In my opinion, it's indeed requiring to have 600,000 soldiers." Great General Long said from the side. "But if it's handed to me, I'll wait until next year before waging a war against Shi Long Kingdom."

General Feng heard Great General Long's words and looked at the great general gratefully.

Prime Minister Xian heard Great General Long's words and felt headache. It was not like they couldn't wait until next year, but why do they have to wait for another year to pass before moving towards Shi Long Kingdom?

He was analyzing based on the data and information given, but he still needed the feedbacks from these people who had been there personally.

"Why next year?" Prime Minister Xian asked.

"Because it's impossible to gather that many soldiers at this point of time. Even if I commanded more than 100,000 soldiers myself, but they're all stationed at the north in order to face Fan Yi Kingdom. Until Great General Wei is done with the remnants of Zhang Xu Kingdom, I will not move my soldiers." Great General Long was calm.

Waging war was not as simple as saying the word and everything could be done in the next second. The preparation and many others required a lot of attention and also resources. He didn't want to start a war at this juncture because he felt Fei Yang Kingdom was not ready.
