Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

So after receiving the request, Emperor Yang Zhou agreed to it.

Of course, he also made some request in return, which Yu Jin agreed after some negotiations.

In this way, it was all good.

"I see." Long Qian Xing nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that it was indeed the time for Fei Yang Kingdom to slowly move up the younger generations.

"There are several recommendation for the next position of a general and considering the current situation of Fei Yang Kingdom, these names are brought to me by Prime Minister Lan," Emperor Yang Zhou said slowly.

In the total war state, the great general could promote someone to be a general temporarily.

This was what Great General Wei did for his son, Wei Mu Bai.

And after the promotion to be a general, it was shown that Wei Mu Bai did have some capabilities, but it was not enough. For him to be a full fledge general, he still have to learn.

For this reason, Great General Wei would not retire so quickly.

But since the total war state would be over soon after their war with Qi Xi Kingdom, then the great general would no longer able to promote anyone to be a general.

Not that they have any intention to, though.

Long Qian Xing looked at the list and blinked his eyes. "Your Majesty, did you include the names of the generals who switched side?"

"Yes, they're now part of Fei Yang Kingdom. With their capabilities, it's a waste not to use their ability," Emperor Yang Zhou replied calmly.

"I see."

After that, Long Qian Xing looked at the names thoughtfully.

The few generals who switched sides were listed there, including the name of the kingdom they used to be.

General Duan from Wei Da Kingdom

Fang Sheng Lin from Zhang Xu Kingdom

General Ma from Shi Long Kingdom

General Gao from Shi Long Kingdom

General Dong from Shi Long Kingdom

General Gao from Fan Yi Kingdom

General Yang from Fan Yi Kingdom

General Ning from Fan Yi Kingdom

Song Yun Xiang from Fan Yi Kingdom

Most of the names were from Fan Yi Kingdom because there were many people from Fan Yi Kingdom who switched side at the last moment.

General Duan from Wei Da Kingdom was injured in a battle and would not be suitable to leave the city where he stayed. With him staying there, he had been a deterrent to many other forces around him such as the bandits, so it was impossible to promote him and moved him away.

Fang Sheng Lin..

If that man can be a general, Long Qian Xing was sure that an even bigger idiot than Feng Ao Si would be born on the battlefield. He really didn't want to see that happened.

General Ma was a temporary general from Shi Long Kingdom and fought against Shangguan Xian for a short period of time. It could be said that his capability was mediocre, but he was still alive.

However, he was not used by Fei Yang Kingdom as a general and only a small commander.

So far, it was Great General Long who monitored him to see whether he could be reused or not.

General Gao from Shi Long Kingdom was not the General Gao whom Long Qian Xing met at the border. The two names are indeed similar, but the two generals were very different.

General Gao from Shi Long Kingdom was the famous cowardly general after the war with Fei Yang Kingdom.

With how many times he kept on retreating… he had set a new record.

Many people knew his name.

Though, it was not in a good way.

General Dong from Shi Long Kingdom was the general who betrayed Shi Long Kingdom at the very last moment. He chose to side with Fei Yang Kingdom and acted low key in his behavior.

But many people were actually disgusted with him.

Because he could turn his face so quickly when he saw that Shi Long Kingdom was about to lose. He didn't have any hesitation to kill the person who brought him up so highly.

For such a white eyed wolf, even Fei Yang Kingdom were not willing to use him.

Before going through the names of the people in Fan Yi Kingdom, Long Qian Xing looked at Emperor Yang Zhou strangely.

"Your Majesty, Fang Sheng Lin is not suitable to be a general. I'm sure you know his personality is unrestrained and didn't have much capabilities quality."

To be honest, Long Qian Xing didn't really want to see Fang Sheng Lin's name.

"I know. I heard he's staying under your care and I intend to keep it that way." Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head. "It's Prime Minister Xian who thought that it would be a good idea to promote a few more people to be a general and recommended this name."

Prime Minister Xian?

Long Qian Xing thought about this prime minister and nodded.

There were two prime ministers under Emperor Yang Zhou.

The first one was Prime Minister Lan who had been helping Emperor Yang Zhou for a long time. The second one was Prime Minister Xian who worked under Emperor Yang Zhou after Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration and the death of the previous prime minister who opposed Emperor Yang Zhou.

To be honest, Long Qian Xing didn't know much about this person since he didn't have much interaction with the other party.

"He might not be clear about the true situation in some areas on the battlefield," Long Qian Xing said carefully.

Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and motioned for Long Qian Xing to continue.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure you have seen General Gao from Shi Long Kingdom's performance…." Long Qian Xing felt really complicated when he thought about this cowardly general who kept being cowardly until the very end.

He lost his reputation but keep his life.

"I forgot to remove his name." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at that name and said, "Great General Long assigned him to become a governor in a small city. Even if his power is not much but his reputation can still be a deterrence."

A/N: I reviewed a bit of characters from the past chapters. These were all the people who had appeared during the previous wars between Fei Yang Kingdom and their respective kingdoms.

Some of them didn't have much screen time, so many readers might not remember, which is why I review a bit. But for more detailed explanation, you may reread instead.
