Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

Chapter 186: The Way of a General

"General, Shang Hong is here to report on his duties..." In Tianji Mansion, Shang Hong, dressed in military uniform, respectfully saluted Fei Xiao who was in the center.

I went to Luofu originally to exchange martial arts, but ended up staying there because of the outbreak of the Fourth Fengrao Army War. Although I didn't accompany Yaoqing's soldiers to fight bravely on the front line, I also directly participated in the war on a main battlefield. After Luofu was settled, Shanghong brought her team back to report on their work.

"Well, just find a place to sit." Fei Xiao said casually, browsing the approval documents on the desk and handling the official business of the local fairy boat like all the generals.

She was wearing her regular clothes at the moment, and looked quiet and reserved, similar to how most fox people behave. Those who hadn't seen how crazy she was on the battlefield might have thought she was a newly married girl.

She single-handedly resisted the siege of two Envoys of Plenty in the Laplace Galaxy and supported the rescue of Hua. Such military exploits were commonplace for her. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy for her to serve as a general in Yaoqing, who was so full of martial virtues, and establish prestige.

Shang Hong responded and found a place to sit down solemnly.

"Did you gain anything from this trip?" Feixiao asked as if chatting with his family, pushing the approval document in his hand aside.

Harvest...Shang Hong knew that Fei Xiao was testing her, but she had no idea what Fei Xiao was testing her on.

"General, could you please narrow the topic down a bit?"

"Just tell me what you think about the Luofu Cloud Cavalry and the entire Luofu War." Feixiao said.

"Luo Fuyun Cavalry... do you need me to tell the truth?" Shang Hong asked.

"just saying."

"Please forgive my frankness. The overall quality of Luofu Cloud Cavalry is uneven, and only the elite parts are acceptable. But if I perform a martial arts show with Yao Qing Cloud Cavalry, I have dozens of ways to defeat Luofu Cloud Cavalry with only half of my troops." Shang Hong said.

She was quick to speak, didn't like beating around the bush, and wouldn't turn black into white. She would comment on things as they were. During the entire martial arts performance, the initial Five Elements Formation made her eyes light up, but it couldn't change the fact that most of the Luofu Cloud Riders were of poor quality.

To put it bluntly, if the Luofu War had not been arranged by the two generals, the battle between the lower-level Cloud Cavalry and the Fengrao Army would have been a much more disastrous defeat.

"Well, that's fair to say. But you have to know that these cloud cavalry were only transferred here not long after the star core disaster." Fei Xiao, "I can foresee that the quality of Luofu Cloud Cavalry will be uneven, so that's not what I want to ask."

"General, do you want to know how Luofu managed to defend against the invasion of the Fengrao Army with the uneven Cloud Cavalry?" Shang Hong seemed to understand Feixiao's idea.

"Yes."

"Make proper preparations. The two Luofu generals made plans a month before the war. In just one month, they moved all the Luofu people to a cave. It was an incredible feat. Without the pressure of protecting scattered civilians, the Cloud Cavalry can also concentrate in one place to fight against the Fengrao Army, reducing the possibility of the Fengrao Army defeating them one by one."

No matter how uneven the Cloud Cavalry are, the Cloud Cavalry troops that form a group of Cloud Cavalry formations cannot be underestimated.

This means that even though the Luofuyun Cavalry was losing ground, they were still able to hold on until the two generals could stabilize the fight between the envoys and wait for Yaoqing's support.

If the Cloud Cavalry was defeated, then the support would actually be the Boundless Water. Attacking from both inside and outside was the right way to go. Once the internal Cloud Cavalry was absorbed by the Fengrao Army, it would be a repeat of Fang Hu's mistake.

"Then, have you ever thought about why these civilians would be willing to listen to the guidance and gather in a small cave?" Feixiao asked.

what?

Isn't it natural for civilians to obey the general's orders? If you don't have a unique skill, don't take on the steel work. If you stay outside, you will be a hindrance. Why don't you go in?

Seeing Feixiao's confused look, Feixiao shook his head with some regret. The entire Yaoqing General's talent pool is indeed the largest in the entire alliance. You can pick any lieutenant from the Cloud Cavalry Camp, and he can probably fight the general for several rounds in terms of military strength (provided that the general does not use the power of the order).

But if you want to be a general, force is not necessary...

However, Yao Qing is a little special. Without the use of force to convince everyone, it would be difficult for him to be recognized.

Almost everyone believes that the generals of the Immortal Boat Alliance are second to none and can hold all the power within the Immortal Boat. However, as power expands, the skill of controlling power is the weapon for each general to rule the Immortal Boat. Otherwise, power will backfire.

"If I say that I can't make the people of Yaoqing obey me and follow my instructions to enter a cave, what would you think?" Feixiao said.

Yaoqing's people are all soldiers, although not to the extent of Luofu, but to be fair, Feixiao is indeed not as capable as the two generals of Luofu who command the support of hundreds of people. She gives Yaoqing people more of an impression of a warrior.

"how come?"

"Everyone has his own thoughts. Being able to unite everyone's thoughts is a kind of wisdom. If it was just the civil general, he has lived for more than 200 years, so it's not surprising that he has realized these wisdoms. But the military general is only 18 years old this year... Unless he is born with wisdom, he is a monster in the world."

Um... isn't it a bit unkind of you to comment on other immortal ship's generals like that?

But just understand that you are complimenting him.

However, Feixiao's intuition was really sharp. She obviously didn't know as much as Jingyuan, and what she knew from Luofu was mostly hearsay.

"I asked you to go to Luofu so that you can understand why two young people like you are qualified to be generals. Only by playing a bad hand of cards as well as possible can you play a good hand of cards even better."

Feixiao lowered his head and carefully recalled Feixiao's teachings.

She had never thought that these two people who were much younger than her could do things in such a complicated way.

But speaking of it, whether it is the transfer of civilians, the deployment of troops, and how to deal with emergencies, each one is clearly formulated, which already shows the extraordinaryness of the two people, but I just didn't notice it before.

"Speaking of which, the wedding of those two will be held soon. You are familiar with them, so you can go as Yaoqing's representative." Feixiao waved his hand.

I... just came back from Luofu, and you asked me to go back to Luofu...

Shang Hong was a little powerless to complain. Flying back and forth is really troublesome. It was just the general's idea... I won't say much. I had just said goodbye to my sister not long ago. She hadn't even wiped her tears yet and was about to see me again. I felt a little...

But this was also Fei Xiao's consideration. After all, it was better to send someone you knew to participate in the event than to send someone you didn't know to just go through the motions. After all, this was also a major event for the Xianzhou Alliance.
