Good heavens, it really is Dong Zhuo!
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was chatting and laughing with the people nearby, even with the leaders of other legions, appearing very unrestrained.
This kind of personality is very popular in the Military Camp!
Lin Yue secretly thought, now the Garrison Army's Zhao Kuangyin, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, the inner attendant Zhao Gao, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the imperial court, and Sima Yi, and now even Dong Zhuo has appeared!
When The First Emperor was on the throne, he could keep them in check, and they were all loyal ministers and good Generals, but once Hu Ershi ascended the throne, it was inevitable that they would harbor improper thoughts!
This was only what Lin Yue had seen; in the game, a single Xianyang City had three hundred million people, and how many heroes were hidden among them?
One must know that the civil and military officials and rebels who left their names in history were all renowned heroes of their time!
Moreover, many people were still hidden underwater at this moment; once The First Emperor was gone, they would all surface!
Hu Ershi could be deceived by Zhao Gao and died at his hands. Now he faced most historical figures, as well as players who were ready to make a move!
At that time, with internal and external troubles, it would be unjust if Great Qin did not fall!
Lin Yue sighed at this thought.
"You brat, why are you sighing for no reason?" She Jian said irritably.
"Ah?" Lin Yue reacted, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, General."
She Jian followed his gaze and could not help but laugh, "What, do you feel pressured?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Yue asked, confused.
"General Dong Zhuo, his Flying Bear Army is entirely cavalry, numbering as many as three hundred thousand, making him the one with the most cavalry among the five major legions under the Great Wall Legion," She Jian explained.
"Flying Bear Army?" Lin Yue asked.
"Yes, even with an equal number, your White Horse Righteous Cavalry might not be able to defeat the Flying Bear Army. How about it, do you feel a lot of pressure?" She Jian laughed.
"It's alright," Lin Yue said, looking at Dong Zhuo. The Flying Bear Army was powerful, and its numbers were vast. At present, he was not qualified to compare himself with him.
Dong Zhuo seemed to feel someone watching him. He turned his head slightly and saw Lin Yue.
He smiled at Lin Yue, paid him no mind, and continued conversing with the others.
"Stop!" General Meng Tian said from the head of the main tent.
Immediately, the entire main tent fell silent, everyone quietly awaiting what was to come.
"The five million warhorses sent by the Xiongnu people this time, His Majesty's intention is that Xianyang City and various regions are also short of warhorses, and some warhorses need to be distributed to various stud farms as breeding horses. Therefore, we, the Great Wall Legion, were only given one million warhorses as replenishment," General Meng Tian said in a deep voice.
"That's too little!"
"These warhorses were obtained because of our Great Wall Legion! How come we only got so few?"
The Generals burst into an uproar!
They had expected the Great Wall Legion not to receive too many, but they had not expected to receive so few!
They only received one-fifth of the total, which was a huge discrepancy from their expectations!
"Silence!" General Meng Tian said in a deep voice. Seeing that the Generals had calmed down again, he then spoke:
"One million warhorses are to be distributed among the five major legions, with each legion receiving two hundred thousand.
Is this still not enough to satisfy your appetite?
How many warhorses does each of your legions have now? Now there's twice as many, is that still not enough?"
What General Meng Tian said was true. Currently, apart from Dong Zhuo's legion, the other four major legions each had only about one hundred and fifty thousand warhorses, with an average of only twenty to thirty thousand cavalry per Army. Now that the number had doubled, it was already very good.
After all, Xianyang would not allow the border armies to have so many cavalry. Once something unexpected happened to the border armies and there were no extra cavalry, Xianyang would be in jeopardy.
The First Emperor controlled the stud farms and could replenish the border armies at any time, but he would never allow the border armies to directly possess warhorses. This was a fixed rule, and everyone had to consider their descendants.
Moreover, various places in Great Qin were currently plagued by Stranger and refugees, and various commanderies urgently needed to replenish their warhorses to quickly suppress the bandits. Otherwise, they would strike and move, and by the time the garrisons of the various commanderies arrived, there would be no one to be seen, only a mess left behind.
Furthermore, there was the large contingent of the Garrison Army, whose demand for warhorses would certainly not be small.
If the Great Wall Legion were not currently bearing the pressure of the Xiongnu people, the number of warhorses they could obtain would be even less!
But the Generals understood the reasoning, yet no one could convince themselves.
It was originally the Great Wall Legion's achievement, but in the end, they only received this much.
With their unreasonable and unforgiving nature, although they dared not defy The First Emperor's orders, they were all somewhat dissatisfied.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo stepped forward, first cupping his hands to General Meng Tian, then to the Generals.
"Great General, This humble general is not talented, but I will speak the minds of my colleagues."
Seeing General Meng Tian nod, Dong Zhuo continued:
"We all understand the reasoning, but the allocation is truly too little!
As you also know, fighting the Xiongnu people cavalry in the wilderness is very difficult relying solely on infantry attacks.
My Flying Bear Army is considered numerous among my Brothers, but even so, it is still far fewer than the Xiongnu people's cavalry!
So it's normal for the Brothers to have some emotions. I wonder if the Great General can still try to negotiate for more."
"Dong Pangzi, you spoke very well." General Meng Tian smiled. It was good that Dong Zhuo could express the grievances in the hearts of the Generals; opening up like this was good for both sides.
Then, General Meng Tian looked at the Generals, who were very much in agreement with Dong Zhuo, and said:
"The Central Plains has always had fewer warhorses than the Xiongnu people; this is unavoidable.
But you lack warhorses, and His Majesty said that the Xiongnu people have many warhorses, so you can go and seize theirs!
As for the warhorses this time, the number cannot have the slightest error."
Dong Zhuo's eyes darted around as he asked, "Great General, His Majesty stipulated that the number of warhorses cannot have an error, but what about the quality?"
General Meng Tian smiled and said, "Except for some particularly high-quality warhorses that need to be used as breeding horses, His Majesty said nothing about the rest."
"Understood!" Dong Zhuo and the Generals all said with great joy.
Not saying anything meant it was allowed. If they couldn't pursue quantity, then picking as many high-quality warhorses as possible was something they could accept!
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the tent lightened up!
"Next, let's discuss the allocation of these one million warhorses," General Meng Tian said.
The Generals all pricked up their ears and listened.
"Because Lin Yue led the capture of Wuluoli and the negotiations with the Xiongnu people this time, I intend to give three hundred thousand warhorses to Wang Li's legion, to which Lin Yue belongs!
I will supplement ten thousand warhorses here, and the other four major legions will each receive one hundred and fifty thousand warhorses.
If you have any objections or ideas, you can speak them now.
Once we leave this tent, this matter will be settled," General Meng Tian said in a deep voice.
