Nine days had passed, and King Baiyang must have already arrived in Xianyang City. His reputation value only increased after his deeds spread.

Lin Yue's current reputation had reached 19480. It seemed this adventurous long-distance raid had been effective, far exceeding all the reputation he had gained before.

Cultivating the Killing God Art increased his Martial Power by one point, and daily battles on the edge of life and death also increased his Martial Power by one point. As for his reputation, it increased by 15000 points!

He had reached "Renowned in One Area"!

To upgrade further, his reputation value needed to reach 100,000. He still had a long way to go before reaching "Famous Throughout the Land."

Although he hadn't discovered any specific effects yet, having a good reputation might attract people to join him in the future, Lin Yue thought to himself. "Brother Lin, how did you rest last night?" Zhao Ben smiled when he saw Lin Yue from afar.

"This humble general greets General Zhao Ben!" Lin Yue cupped his hands in salute.

The Zhao Ben in front of him was the Titled General of the central Army. He had a square face, full of integrity, was exceptionally brave, and uninhibited, maintaining good relationships with the other three Titled Generals.

It was said that he and Zhao Gao were from the same clan. It was unexpected that one family produced two famous figures with completely different personalities.

Six months ago, it was Zhao Ben who defeated Zhao Tuo and became a Titled General, while Zhao Tuo was transferred to Xianyang.

However, this had nothing to do with Zhao Gao, because Zhao Gao's influence had not yet reached the Great Wall Legion.

It could be said that currently, apart from Qin Shi Huang, anyone who dared to extend their hand into the Great Wall Legion would have it chopped off by General Meng Tian!

As for the main reason why Zhao Ben was chosen, Lin Yue privately speculated that General Meng Tian preferred Zhao Ben, who better fit the image of a traditional soldier, compared to the ruthless Zhao Tuo. However, he did not disappoint General Meng Tian either.

During the great chaos of the late qin dynasty, most people only knew about Zhang Han's efforts to turn the tide, but few knew that Zhao Ben was also a fierce general.

Historically, when Liu Bang, under the Command of King Huai of Chu, entered Guanzhong to attack Qin, he met Zhao Ben in Kaifeng, carrying the formidable reputation of having killed Li You, the governor of Sanchuan Commandery, and decisively defeated General Wang Li of Qin.

Facing Liu Bang, who had been sweeping all before him, Zhao Ben showed no fear and even led his Army out of the city to engage in a field battle, showing his courage!

Although Liu Bang had many small victories and held the upper hand, he was never able to completely defeat Zhao Ben. In desperation, he could only retreat from Xuanyuan Pass back to Yingchuan Commandery.

Although Zhao Ben lost this battle, it also demonstrated his strength, because in this battle, he was not fighting Liu Bang alone, but Liu Bang and many of the great generals who were later enfeoffed in the early Han dynasty!

This also indirectly proved his strength!

"Thanks to the general's care, This humble general rested very well," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"That's good. I have already selected your cavalry for you, and they will be delivered to you in the afternoon. One hundred thousand white horses, all Yellow-rank mid-grade warhorses," Zhao Ben said with a smile.

"One hundred thousand?" Lin Yue said in surprise. He had nearly sixty thousand white horses, plus another one hundred thousand, wouldn't that be one hundred sixty thousand!

The Great General said it was to supplement, only needing forty thousand warhorses, but Zhao Ben had given him an extra sixty thousand warhorses!

Moreover, this game is different from reality. Warhorses in the game are not only faster but also more resilient, comparable to mutated species infected by nuclear wastewater.

There is no need for the one-man, two-horse or three-horse cavalry historically equipped for combat; one man and one horse are sufficient.

"Ah, Brother, on this grassland, it's hard to find two-legged Qin People, but four-legged warhorses? Aren't they everywhere!

As long as you want them, Brother, I can even find you colorful warhorses!" Zhao Ben laughed heartily.

Lin Yue felt a little moved hearing about colorful warhorses. Are there really such warhorses?

However, after thinking about it, he knew the possibility was small. Although this was a game world, the main focus of this game was realism!

Otherwise, Lin Yue would definitely want a warhorse that galloped with a 'dada' sound and could shoot blue flames!

Zhao Ben laughed heartily, then changed the subject, putting his arm around Lin Yue's shoulder and whispering:

"Brother Lin, I'll be direct with you. I need your help with something!"

Lin Yue's internal alarm bells went off. Could it be that he also had his eye on General Yang Ye!

"If it's about General Yang Ye, then it's out of the question," Lin Yue refused without hesitation.

A joke, sixty thousand warhorses for General Yang Ye? Not even six hundred thousand warhorses!

Zhao Ben was stunned by the words, then asked in confusion:

"General Yang Ye? Who is General Yang Ye?"

Lin Yue was also stunned. It seemed he had overthought things. Then he laughed awkwardly:

"It's nothing, General, please speak. As long as I can do it, I will do my best.

But if I can't, then This humble general can do nothing to help."

"I like your straightforward nature, Brother!

Don't worry, how could I make things difficult for you? I just want you to help me train soldiers," Zhao Ben said with a smile.

"Training soldiers, White Horse Righteous Cavalry?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"Yes, as you know, our legion has not yet achieved any merit. However, I have been reviewing military reports with the Great General these past few days and realized that cavalry is essential for fighting on the grasslands!" Zhao Ben sighed.

Lin Yue deeply empathized after hearing this. The Xiongnu people would fight if they could win, and flee if they couldn't. It was incredibly difficult for the two-legged Qin Army to catch up to the four-legged Xiongnu people!

Especially now that the Xiongnu people on the grasslands had discovered the Qin Army's large-scale invasion, they were all on high alert, migrating their entire tribes at the slightest disturbance. It was said that She Jian had occupied five tribes in a row but hadn't encountered a single Xiongnu people, which made him curse and feel quite a headache.

"Why should the general be like this? Everyone knows that your central Army is meant to decide the outcome in one battle," Lin Yue said, smiling to comfort him.

She Jian had told him before that Wang Li and Dong Zhuo's left and right Armies would advance simultaneously, while the central Army led by the Great General would follow behind. This wasn't because the Great General didn't trust Zhao Ben to lead the Army, but to preserve a complete fighting force, waiting for the final decisive battle!

"Alas, Brother, you flatter me. I am burning with impatience now. My seniority is the shallowest, and the cavalry under my Command is also the smallest among all the Armies.

You don't know, your White Horse Righteous Cavalry, galloping a thousand li, are invincible. I envy them greatly!

Brother, I will give you an additional sixty thousand warhorses. I don't ask for much; just help me train a sixty-thousand-strong cavalry, and I will provide both men and horses!"

Zhao Ben praised the White Horse Righteous Cavalry profusely, his eyes full of envy!

"It's just that I'll be returning to the front line in a few days, so I might not have time..." Lin Yue said with a look of difficulty.

"No problem, my men and horses will follow you to the front line, and I'll give you full Command. As long as you can train a White Horse Righteous Cavalry for me, that's enough!" Zhao Ben laughed heartily. If he could have a cavalry similar to the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, even if only thirty thousand remained in the end, it would be worth it!

"General, This humble general cannot guarantee that they will be as strong as the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, but I will definitely treat them like my own soldiers!" Lin Yue said.

"Don't worry, since I've entrusted them to you, I trust you," Zhao Ben said with a joyful expression.

"Good, then This humble general accepts," Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lin Yue saw Zhao Ben's generosity and felt that he was being petty, so he agreed.

Anyway, training one person is training, and training a group of people is training. Since Zhao Ben had said so, he couldn't refuse again.

Furthermore, having control over Zhao Ben's sixty thousand cavalry would also give him an advantage when fighting on campaigns.

"A gentleman's word?"

"A swift horse's whip!"

The two struck three heavy palms together, sealing their agreement.
