421: Impeached?
As Lin Yue stepped down from the carriage, he saw that the Cavalrymen were already assembled, so he went to Zhao Yun and said, "Zi Long, we can begin."
"Understood!" Zhao Yun nodded, then turned to face the Generals: "Assemble!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
A few breaths later, the Cavalrymen, who had been scattered around, were now neatly lined up!
Zhao Yun's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and then he shouted: "Your performance recently has been good. Starting today, we will begin new training!
Now, all of you, perk up, pick up your long halberds, let's begin!"
Lin Yue also nodded in approval, very satisfied with the performance of these Cavalrymen. They could be said to be the elite among the elite of the Great Qin Army. Although they were a bit inferior to a Ranked Military General, they were far superior to other Soldiers, otherwise they would not have been chosen as Gentlemen.
And after this period of training, their progress far exceeded Lin Yue's expectations, and the obedience of these Cavalrymen has now reached a new height. In this state, no matter what kind of troop is trained, the effect is twice the result with half the effort!
So last night, when he was promoted to Earl, he handed over the training method for the special troop "Tiger Brave Army," which was rewarded by the system, to Zhao Yun, so that Zhao Yun could start the next stage of training!
Although the "Tiger Brave Army" was a reward when Lin Yue was promoted to Earl, Lin Yue felt that its combat power under similar circumstances should not exceed that of the "Modao Army," but it had the advantage that the selection requirements were much simpler than those for "Modao Soldiers," and the price of individual equipment was also lower than that of Modao.
At the same time, compared to the "Modao Army," the Tiger Brave Army is a comprehensive special troop. It has cavalry, infantry, archers, and can even form chariots, making it suitable for combat in various environments, and its future possibilities are even greater!
At the same time, in addition to their basic infantry combat, each person also needs to practice horsemanship, archery, water combat, and driving, which can be said to be all-round development, somewhat similar to special forces in later generations. Whether as individuals or in formation, they have strong combat power.
And the Tiger Brave Army mostly wields halberds or spears, which perfectly matches the weapons held by these Cavalrymen, so training them to become the Tiger Brave Army is most suitable!
Lin Yue can also see the true power of the Tiger Brave Army through them!
Seeing that Zhao Yun had already started training these two hundred Cavalrymen, Lin Yue, as usual, went to rest under the shade of a tree nearby, and checked his attributes.

Even though Lin Yue was very busy during this time, he did not stop studying in the "yongle encyclopedia," so his Intelligence also increased by two points, but the speed became slower and slower, so Lin Yue chose to focus on the "Killing God Art"!
Fortunately, hard work pays off. The "Killing God Art" finally reached 99% of the third layer two days ago, only one step away from reaching the fourth layer!
This filled him with motivation!
Because every time he leveled up, he would gain a skill, such as the Art of Recognizing People and Qi Observation Technique. He wondered what it would be this time.
However, until sunset, when the Cavalrymen finished their training, the 99% progress of the "Killing God Art" remained unchanged. Lin Yue sighed helplessly, then decided to return home... The next day,
Between 3 AM and 5 AM,
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Lin Yue's door was knocked on again.
"My Lord, it's between 3 AM and 5 AM, you should get up," Yi He's clear and pleasant voice rang out as usual.
But Lin Yue extremely disliked hearing this voice. He reluctantly got up, and after tidying up with Yi He's help, he once again hurried with the Generals towards Zhangtai Palace.
Lin Yue gathered the Imperial Guards at the Grand Commandant's office, then proceeded through inspections. Upon reaching the front of the main hall, Lin Yue saw Lu Bu again.
"Elder Brother, you can rest now," Lin Yue said with a smile, cupping his hands.
"Good," Lu Bu nodded with a smile, then whispered to Lin Yue: "Virtuous Brother, I read the 'Great Qin Daily.' It recorded your heroic feat of leading the White Horse Righteous Cavalry to attack the Xiongnu in the north, penetrating deep into the Ordos Loop. This elder brother truly admires you immensely!"
"Elder Brother, aren't you making fun of me?" Lin Yue smiled and waved his hand, then whispered to him: "It's all nonsense. Don't you know how capable your foolish brother is?"
Seeing this, Lu Bu glanced left and right, then leaned in and whispered into Lin Yue's ear: "Virtuous Brother, I just happened to hear some news. Someone has impeached you for burying alive a million Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers, claiming it is a cruel and inauspicious act, and publicizing it like this harms Great Qin's benevolence!"
"Impeached?" Lin Yue's expression tightened upon hearing this, with a mix of surprise and confusion. Lin Yue thought such brainless people would only appear in other dynasties, but how could they exist in the Qin Dynasty too?
Oh, he forgot, The First Emperor hasn't burned books and buried scholars yet, and those he buried were sorcerers, not Confucian scholars. But Lin Yue wished he would bury Confucian scholars; weren't these Confucian scholars purely brainless?
When did this happen? Moreover, at that time, he led the White Horse Righteous Cavalry deep into enemy territory alone. What was the point of keeping those people alive instead of killing them? Were they to be kept to relay information or to cut off his retreat from behind?
It seems that people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. They're targeting him!
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: could Ye Xuan be secretly causing trouble for him?
He immediately asked Lu Bu: "Elder Brother, was it Censor Ye Xuan who submitted the memorial?"
Lu Bu was stunned: "Virtuous Brother, why do you say that? Ye Xuan has always been upright and open-minded. Although he is a civil official, he is never pedantic. How could he do such a thing?"
"Upright and open-minded?" Lin Yue frowned, suddenly remembering that when Lu Bu was previously brought to the main hall and The First Emperor asked the officials how to deal with Lu Bu, Ye Xuan had spoken up to plead for him. Lu Bu, being a person who "knows how to repay kindness," must have already confided in him, and it was very possible that the two of them had already colluded.
Just as Lin Yue was thinking, Lu Bu whispered again: "Virtuous Brother, you've misunderstood Ye Xuan. The person who impeached you this time is Academician Chunyu Yue."
"Academician Chunyu Yue?" Lin Yue pondered for a moment. He had no interaction with him, so he didn't know why he would impeach him. Could it really just be that he disapproved of his act of killing captives?
At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly took a step back.
Lin Yue turned his head and saw Han Cheng approaching them with an expressionless face: "Cavalry Commandant, His Majesty summons you to the hall."
Lu Bu gave Lin Yue a helpless look and then retreated unhappily. Lin Yue then nodded to Han Cheng and followed him into the main hall.
"Your subject Lin Yue..."
