142: Yang Dengshan

Lin Yue walked out and respectfully bowed three times before Tang Shao's coffin, where a young man stood up and returned the bow.

Afterward, Lin Yue lit an incense stick and prepared to quietly leave.

"Are you Lieutenant Lin Yue?" the young man asked.

"Yes, are you Colonel Yang Shao's son?" Lin Yue asked.

"Yes, my name is Yang Dengshan, and I am currently a Squad Leader in General She Jian's Guard Battalion.

Can I join your White Horse Righteous Cavalry?" Yang Dengshan asked eagerly.

"Why?

The Guard Battalion has much better development prospects than the White Horse Righteous Cavalry," Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

"I want to avenge my father. Your White Horse Righteous Cavalry are the strongest in combat and have the most real-world experience. If I follow you, I can kill more Xiongnu people," Yang Dengshan said.

【name: Yang Dengshan

Martial Power: 78

Intelligence: 71

Command: 73

Politics: 68

Charm: 76】

Despite his young age, he was already a High-level Military General. This Yang Dengshan has great potential!

"How old are you?" Lin Yue asked.

"This humble general is sixteen!" Yang Dengshan replied.

"Do you have any brothers?"

"This humble general has two younger brothers, one fourteen and one eleven this year, both studying back home," Yang Dengshan replied.

"Talk to General She Jian. If he agrees, then come," Lin Yue said.

"Thank you, Lieutenant!" Yang Dengshan cupped his hands in thanks.

Lin Yue waved his hand. At only 16, he was already a High-level Military General; breaking through to a Third-rate Military General was only a matter of time.

After all, historically, he participated in the Korean War during the Wanli era, excelling in border warfare and showing promise as a Military Leader among the eight routes. He should not be underestimated in the future.

Lin Yue then returned to his room. Not long after, She Jian sent for him.

As Lin Yue entered She Jian's large tent, he heard She Jian's furious roar:

"Damn it, you little brat, you went to light an incense stick and even abducted my guard?"

"General, please be advised, Yang Dengshan was not abducted by me. He proactively expressed his admiration for the White Horse Righteous Cavalry and wished to join," Lin Yue said with an innocent expression.

"Are your White Horse Righteous Cavalry better than my Guard Battalion?" She Jian cursed, seeing Lin Yue's innocent look, which only fueled his anger.

"This humble general never said that," Lin Yue shook his head.

"He is Yang Shao's son, serving as a Squad Leader in the Guard Battalion. I often instruct him in martial arts.

He's also promising; at such a young age, he's already a High-level Military General. Barring any surprises, in a few more years, he'll have the strength of a Third-rate Military General. I originally intended for him to Command his own unit and gradually take over his father Yang Shao's position in the future.

Now you've snatched him first. What do you say we do?" She Jian became furious as he spoke of this.

It was Yang Shao who had insisted on placing Yang Dengshan in his Guard Battalion. Seeing the boy's potential, he had diligently taught him.

Now, just as it was time to reap the rewards and let him lead his own unit, Lin Yue, whom he had sent, had snatched him first. How could he not be angry!

"General, you can't say that. Even if he joins the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, he'll still be under your Command, won't he?" Lin Yue argued.

"You're spouting nonsense! Which of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry can I Command!

Every single one of them has become yours!" She Jian cursed!

Throughout the entire Army, only Lin Yue's White Horse Righteous Cavalry seemed out of place, not interacting much with other comrades. Even the officers there were arrogant, as if they were about to declare themselves kings!

"Me! I, Lin Yue, only follow your orders, General!" Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Get lost! I'm telling you, if Yang Dengshan goes to you, you owe me a person, otherwise, you'll empty out all my assets!" She Jian cursed.

Lin Yue cautiously stepped back, staring warily at the ill-intentioned She Jian.

"Zhao..."

"No!" Lin Yue interrupted She Jian, directly refusing.

Zi Long could not be transferred, and would never be transferred in this lifetime. With Zi Long by his side, he could roam the world freely!

"Then give me Liu Sandao and Xing Daorong!" She Jian, knowing that Lin Yue regarded Zhao Yun as his lifeblood, settled for a lesser demand.

"No, you disliked them before.

You said Xing Daorong was a bit unintelligent, and Liu Sandao could only be a guard.

I've already told them, and they definitely don't want to be transferred back," Lin Yue said with a wary expression.

"If I order them to transfer, do they dare refuse?" She Jian said angrily.

"You don't know, after Xing Daorong heard your evaluation, he was so upset he didn't eat for three days, and he lost a whole size," Lin Yue said with a smile.

She Jian was momentarily speechless, then said:

"I've already transferred Du Tong and Du Song to your Command, how can you be so stingy? Otherwise, give them back to me!"

"No, no." Lin Yue didn't argue, just kept shaking his head.

What a joke! They were already under his Command; how could he let them run off?

"My willingness to discuss this nicely doesn't mean I have a good temper!" She Jian said in a deep voice, clearly on the verge of an outburst.

Lin Yue was momentarily speechless after hearing that. If She Jian truly disregarded his thoughts, he seemed to have no recourse.

"I'll ask you one last time, what talent do you have for me? It must be at least a Third-rate Military General like Xing Daorong," She Jian said.

Lin Yue suddenly smiled, "You should just say you want Zong Ze!"

"So his name is Zong Ze," She Jian murmured, then instantly realized his lapse and glared at Lin Yue with an annoyed expression!

Lin Yue smiled, "Alright, he's a talent who came to me from the Fief. Transferring him to you isn't impossible."

It must have been when he previously brought Zong Ze to greet She Jian upon his return to camp, and She Jian had incidentally noticed him.

One must know that experts can generally sense each other's aura. She Jian should have recognized Zong Ze's strength at that time. Seeing that Zong Ze was still new, She Jian had taken an interest.

However, knowing Lin Yue's nature of only taking and never giving, he never had an opportunity to speak up. Coincidentally, Yang Dengshan's desire to join the White Horse Righteous Cavalry provided him with the perfect chance!

"Speak," She Jian said, a hint of a smile finally appearing on his face upon hearing Lin Yue's concession.

"General, you may not know, but Zong Ze is a Military Leader. When I first met him, I was utterly astonished!" Lin Yue said with a smile.

"He's also a Military Leader?" She Jian said in surprise.

He considered himself only a general, far from a Military Leader!

If he had a Military Leader under his Command to assist him, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!

"Yes, This humble general believes the White Horse Righteous Cavalry are too small to accommodate Zong Ze, which is why I haven't assigned him a position. Currently, transferring Zong Ze to your Command can be said to be the best option," Lin Yue said.

"Tell me, what are your conditions?" She Jian asked, now eager to bring Zong Ze under his Command.

"This humble general has no conditions. This humble general only wishes to secure a good future for Zong Ze!

This humble general only wants to ask, what position can you offer him, General?" Lin Yue said.

"Words alone are not enough. I'll meet him first before deciding," She Jian said after some consideration.

"Alright," Lin Yue nodded.

After all, She Jian hadn't truly understood Zong Ze, nor did he possess the Art of Recognizing People like himself. At this point, everything was just self-praise.

As long as She Jian interacted with Zong Ze, with Zong Ze's abilities, conquering She Jian would be effortless!
