262: Fully equipped with troops

Three days later,

As the sun set, Lin Yue stood before 300,000 cavalry soldiers!

During these three days, many Military Generals went to the gathering places of the Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers to select cavalry, and it was an exhausting three days. Fortunately, they all chose strong and powerful cavalry who were skilled in horsemanship and archery.

Although they were surrendered soldiers, the strength of these 170,000 Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers was no less than that of the Great Wall Legion's cavalry.

This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Lin Yue, as these Xiongnu surrendered soldiers, who had lived on horseback since childhood, were much better than the reinforcements from the rear, making them easier to train!

"Reporting to the Lord, This humble general Pan Feng, leading Colonel Du Tong, Colonel Du Song, and Colonel Aruhan, with a total of 100,000 cavalry, requests inspection!" Pan Feng and the others bowed.

"Reporting to the Lord, This humble general Xing Daorong, leading Colonel General Yang Ye, Colonel Gao Bin, and Colonel Li Mu, with a total of 100,000 White Horse Righteous Cavalry, requests inspection!" Xing Daorong and the others bowed.

"Reporting to the Lord, This humble general Colonel Liu Sandao, with Colonel Qibili and Colonel Wang Cheng, with a total of 100,000 cavalry, requests inspection!" Liu Sandao and the others bowed!

"Reporting to the Lord, This humble general Colonel Zhao Yun, leading Commandant Zhao Ponu, Commandant Yang Dengshan, and Commandant Ma Baoguo, with a total of 30,000 White Horse Righteous Cavalry from the Guard Battalion, requests inspection!" Zhao Yun and the others bowed!

Lin Yue looked at the 300,000 fully equipped cavalry before him, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

If it were a year ago, the him who first entered the game would never have imagined that a year later, he would not only become an official member of the increasingly powerful Great Qin Empire but also a General with 300,000 troops under his Command!

Moreover, this was just the beginning!

"Good, lead your respective troops, we're returning to the Encampment!" Lin Yue shouted!

"Yes!" The Army responded!

At this moment, the 300,000-strong Army galloped across the grassland like rolling spring thunder... Lin Yue now also had his own temporary Encampment, not far from She Jian's Legion, which She Jian had ordered to be built quickly in the past few days.

The place where the 300,000-strong Army gathered was not far from the temporary camp, taking only the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn. As the sun completely set, they returned to the Encampment.

Lin Yue was the first to step into the Encampment, only to see the Military Marquis Wu De, who had been left behind, run over and whisper:

"General, about the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn ago, a group of people arrived. One of them, This humble general thinks, looked somewhat like a Eunuch, and the other was a Military General. Both carried warrants, so This humble general led them to rest in the main tent."

Lin Yue nodded, handed his warhorse to Wu De, and then instructed the Commandants of each Army to be responsible for the accommodation of the 300,000 cavalry. Afterward, he led the Colonels and higher-ranking Generals towards the main tent.

His steps were quick, his armor clashing with a rapid "clink-clank" sound, because he also wanted to see who had arrived, and whether it might be a certain historical Military General!

The two inside the main tent had already heard the sound of horse hooves outside, so they had risen early to wait.

As the "clink-clank" sound from the armor grew louder and louder, both sides became a little nervous.

Lin Yue stepped into the main tent and saw a middle-aged Military General in armor and a young, fair-faced Eunuch standing there waiting.

Lin Yue was the first to bow with a smile:

"My apologies, I've kept you both waiting."

Then he used his Art of Recognizing People to investigate the Military General who had made him ponder for a long time.

name: Wei Liang

Identity: Great Wall Legion Colonel (Great Qin)

Martial Power: 82

Intelligence: 76

Command: 80

Politics: 78

Charm: 72

A Third-rate Military General?

Lin Yue carefully searched his mind and found that he had no impression of the name Wei Liang. It seemed he was not a historical Military General.

He had originally thought that with his luck, he would encounter a familiar historical Military General, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But then he quickly accepted it. After all, a Third-rate Military General serving as a Colonel, while not exceptionally powerful, was sufficient.

Moreover, it wasn't a big deal if he wasn't a familiar historical Military General. After all, Great Qin unified the six states not solely relying on the Military Generals whose names were recorded in history, but also through the combined efforts of many such mid-to-high-ranking Military Generals.

What's more, Xiang Yu once set fire to Xianyang City, and the fire burned for three months without extinguishing. The once magnificent Qin imperial palace became a scorched earth, with the scorched earth itself being three feet thick!

This also led to the precious documents preserved from the Qin Dynasty being engulfed in flames.

Historically, before the burning of books, as books were mostly made of bamboo slips, their dissemination was very limited.

And The First Emperor's scope of burning books was only that folk were not allowed to keep books of the various schools of thought and historical records of various states.

However, in Xianyang, these historical records of the six states and the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought were preserved. Not only that, but many books on medicine, divination, agriculture, geography, and many unique, long-lost books obtained by Qin during its conquest of the six states were also preserved.

But all of this was consumed by a great fire.

Furthermore, recording history in chronological order only began after the Western Han Dynasty, which led to most of the records concerning the Qin Dynasty being known only from Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" in the Western Han Dynasty.

But Sima Qian had not seen those historical records, so he could only rely on existing records and field visits to write, which also led to there not being many named Military Generals of Great Qin recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian."

There were even fewer than the number of uprising Generals during the late qin dynasty uprisings, so it was not surprising that some Third-rate Military Generals did not appear in historical records.

"This humble general Wei Liang, greetings, General!" The middle-aged General bowed.

"No need for such formality, you two have traveled a long way and worked hard," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"My name is Wang Zhi, greetings, General Lin!" The Eunuch said.

"My name is Lin Yue. From now on, you and I shall work together with one heart to repay His Majesty's grace," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"We obey!" The two responded simultaneously.

"Wait!" Lin Yue suddenly reacted and asked, "What did you say your name was?"
