224: Clan soldiers

Seventy thousand Soldiers were already in position, plus the thirty thousand cavalry brought by Pan Feng, a total of one hundred and sixty thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry were neatly lined up outside the Encampment!

Of course, there were also Zhao Ben's sixty thousand Black Horse Righteous Cavalry, making a total of two hundred and twenty thousand cavalry!

Lin Yue had never been so wealthy before!

"This humble general, Pan Feng, greets my Lord!" Pan Feng laughed as he cupped his hands.

"name: Pan Feng; Identity: Military General (Great Qin); Peerage: None; Official Title: Commandant; Martial Power: 88; Intelligence: 78; Command: 85; Politics: 68; Charm: 70; Loyalty: 100 (Die-hard); Talent: Well-trained: Soldier training speed +20%."

After two months apart, Pan Feng's Martial Power had unexpectedly increased by two points, just two points shy of a First-rate Military General! At the same time, his Intelligence and Command also saw slight increases; it seemed that leading troops independently truly could improve one's abilities!

"Pan Feng, now the two of us can fight side by side again!" Lin Yue laughed heartily.

Before Pan Feng could even speak, Xing Daorong jumped off his horse and ran in front of Pan Feng, laughing loudly:

"Lao Pan! I've missed you so much!"

"A Rong, after a few months, you've gotten much thinner," Pan Feng said with a smile.

"After continuous forced marches, and missing you, it's inevitable to lose some weight," Xing Daorong also laughed.

Only after the two had finished catching up did Lin Yue speak:

"Pan Feng, I heard you used only thirty thousand Soldiers to defeat a Xiongnu tribe of nearly two hundred thousand; well done, you've shown the might of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, it seems you can already stand on your own!"

"I plan to entrust you with the training of these two hundred thousand troops; you will be the chief instructor. How about it, do you have confidence?"

This was also why Lin Yue wanted Pan Feng; Pan Feng possessed the 'Well-trained' talent, which could increase Soldier training speed by 20%. For Lin Yue, who currently lacked time, this was a great help.

The position of chief instructor, Pan Feng was the only choice!

"This humble general is willing!" Pan Feng responded without the slightest hesitation!

"Good!" Lin Yue turned to General Yang Ye and said, "Jiye, the additional thirty thousand cavalry will be temporarily under your Command. Yang Yanping will provisionally serve as the Captain, and the rest of the personnel will be arranged by you."

"Understood, This humble general will not fail my Lord's high expectations!" General Yang Ye, standing by, cupped his hands and accepted the order.

"This humble general will not fail my Lord's high expectations!" The other eight sons also bowed and accepted the order.

Although their positions were decided by their father, they were destined not to be very high. But with their father as a Commandant and their eldest brother as a Captain, they certainly wouldn't be mistreated, and besides, this already greatly exceeded their expectations!

When they arrived, they hadn't imagined they could hold such official positions.

It could be said they had risen to prominence in a single bound!

"No need for formalities. Your strength is sufficient, but some of you are too young. Rashly holding high positions will inevitably lead to gossip, which is also detrimental to your own growth."

"So you must rely on your own strength to prove that you are worthy of higher positions; only then will others be genuinely convinced!" Lin Yue encouraged them.

He had high hopes for the second generation of The Yang Clan Generals, especially the sixth and seventh sons!

"Understood!" The sons of the Yang Family responded.

General Yang Ye also had a look of great satisfaction. He was very pleased with his Lord's decision; otherwise, letting a bunch of teenagers become high officials, not only would others be dissatisfied, but he himself would also refuse.

If young men hold high positions, a slight oversight could fuel their arrogance. This current arrangement was best; they were all by his side, making it convenient for him and his eldest son to discipline them together.

"Alright, go train now," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Understood!" The Generals responded.

After the Generals had walked away, She Jian asked with a suspicious look:

"The White Horse Righteous Cavalry' various units are being replenished with men. This is such a good opportunity, why aren't you disbanding them? And you're keeping these children with General Yang Ye. Are you truly foolish or just pretending?"

"Why should I disband them? Isn't Dong Yue still serving as a Colonel under Dong Zhuo? Isn't General Yang Xiong also serving under Yang Wengzi?" Lin Yue smiled.

"That's one person; you have eight people. I see that these eight children will all achieve remarkable things in the future; even the worst of them will easily become a mid-level military officer in the Army."

"These nine members of the Yang Family all in one Army, with their roots intertwined in various positions, do you know how terrifying a force that is?" She Jian, unexpectedly patient, explained to Lin Yue.

As the saying goes, 'brothers fight tigers, fathers and sons go to battle.' If the members of an Army are primarily based on clan or hometown ties, and family members lead and govern the troops for a long time, imprinting the family's mark on the Army and sharing its honor and disgrace,

then the fighting power of such an Army is often extremely formidable!

When such an Army appears on the battlefield, no one will retreat! Even when in dire straits, they will not easily surrender; their willpower is especially strong! Because those fighting alongside them are their relatives, with whom they live day in and day out and who are connected by blood. No one will play tricks; when encountering enemies, they are all of one heart, an opponent no Army wishes to encounter.

Ancient times were not like today's 'hometown folks meet hometown folks, and stab each other in the back.' Instead, it was truly 'hometown folks meet hometown folks, tears welling up in their eyes!' The culture of fellow villagers in ancient times surpassed modern people's imagination.

Most founding emperors of various dynasties had such a core group, and many founding heroes of successive generations also emerged from such armies.

For example, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, relied on a group of Pei County brothers to establish the Han empire; Emperor Taizu of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, also relied on a group of Huai River region fellow villagers to expel the barbarians and establish the Great Ming!

Cao Cao's early core group also mostly consisted of the children of the Cao and Xiahou families! Even when he later rose to power relying on Soldiers from Yingchuan, Cao Cao still distributed great power to members of these two families and showed them much leniency.

Even after Li Shimin became the Heavenly Khan, he did not forget his other identity, that of the clan leader of the Guanzhong-Longxi Li Family!

All of this demonstrated the influence of ancient clans, but this was also a double-edged sword. Correspondingly, such armies only recognized their leading elder brother, not the main commander.

With so many people, once the leading elder brother developed ulterior motives, that Army would completely 탈출 control!

The consequences would be unimaginable!

"No, it won't." Lin Yue was unconcerned. Not to mention the Yang Family Generals who were loyal martyrs throughout history, just the special edition of the Golden Military General Recruitment Order alone meant Lin Yue didn't need to worry about such things.

Because from the moment they called Lin Yue their Lord, they became his die-hard loyalists!

These were all the Attached effects of the special edition. Although this also meant Lin Yue didn't obtain treasures like the Lucky Small Treasure Box and Lucky Big Treasure Box, it also relieved him of his worries.

"Sigh, you're just a stubborn mule. I'm going back. Get my White Horse Righteous Cavalry trained quickly!" She Jian cursed and walked towards the Encampment.

"This humble general respectfully sees off the General!" Lin Yue said with a smile.
