99: Good ambition

"Captain Lin, we're almost at Shanggu Commandery. Can you let me see Uncle Zang Tu one more time?" Zhou Yang asked.

"No, don't even think about it. Go to Xianyang City and study properly," Lin Yue said.

Zhou Yang's handsome face quickly drooped after hearing that, looking very unhappy.

"Wu De, Ma Baoguo, you two keep an eye on him," Lin Yue said, fearing that Zhou Yang would cause more trouble.

Fortunately, over the past month, Zhou Yang had gotten along well with Wu De and Ma Baoguo, gradually stopping his attempts to escape, which gave him time to cultivate.

Over this past month, his "Killing God Art" had reached the second layer at 51%, his Martial Power had increased by one point, and from spending time with his Soldiers, his Command had surprisingly increased by two points. For some reason, his Intelligence also increased by one point!

"I want to find Uncle She Jian! I want to talk to him!" Zhou Yang shouted, hearing that he was to be strictly guarded.

"General She Jian went to the rear for a meeting; he's not here right now," Lin Yue said, shrugging his shoulders. "Didn't your grandfather tell you that you wouldn't have a good end if you followed Zang Tu? Why are you still so stubborn?"

"Uncle Zang Tu is a hero. After my father died, he was the one who always helped me.

He taught me martial arts, taught me to read! He treated me like his own son!" Zhou Yang said.

"Alright, but following Zang Tu, you might have a good time for a while, but the outcome will definitely not be good. Your grandfather is still waiting for you to support him in his old age," Lin Yue said in a deep voice.

Historically, Zang Tu was indeed crowned king, but his end was also very tragic. Following him would not lead to a good outcome.

"A true man, if he cannot eat from nine cauldrons in life, he should be cooked in nine cauldrons in death!

Afraid of death, will being afraid of death make one immortal?

When I rise to power, I will have countless servants. Will I still fear that my grandfather won't be cared for?" Zhou Yang retorted, his face flushed.

"I didn't realize you had such ambitions?" Lin Yue was a bit surprised. If he didn't know history, he might have been bluffed by him.

He might have been impressed by his ambition, praised him, and then couldn't resist secretly letting him go, leaving behind a good story when Zhou Yang and he met again decades later.

But unfortunately, Zhou Yang's name was not left in history. His best outcome was to accompany Zang Tu until they were defeated and killed together.

Moreover, this world is always full of various accidents. Zhou Yang might have just joined Zang Tu's uprising and been beheaded, torn apart by chariots, his head exchanged for military merits, died in battle, starved to death, died of illness, or died from a stray arrow, or even been captured by Soldiers on his way to Shang Commandery. It's all uncertain.

So Lin Yue could not let him see Zang Tu, whether for his grandfather or She Jian.

What's more, there are heroes in Shanggu? Perhaps by the time Zang Tu arrived, the rebels would have already been annihilated. Such a grand rebellion, did they think the Qin Army was made of straw?

He didn't know if they were truly invincible or truly brainless.

"Consider yourself discerning. So you're sure you won't let me go?" Zhou Yang said, looking a bit arrogant out of the corner of his eye.

"Why would I let you go? If you become a rebel, how will you face your Uncle She Jian on the battlefield?" Lin Yue asked.

"I won't attack Uncle She Jian," Zhou Yang said, lowering his head at the words.

"You won't attack? Can you even beat him if you do? Do you know what realm he's in?

And perhaps the Qin Army has already wiped out the rebels, and Zang Tu has long since fled," Lin Yue laughed.

"Impossible!" Zhou Yang retorted, his face red.

"Why impossible? Think about it, with the Great General inspecting the nine borders, would Shanggu Commandery dare to keep such a large group of Mountain Bandits for the Great General to see? Do they still want their official hats?" Lin Yue laughed.

Zhou Yang stopped speaking upon hearing this. Hearing Lin Yue say that, he also felt a bit uncertain.

"Xiao Yang, don't be discouraged. Come on, I'll teach you a set of martial arts I'm currently exploring; it'll definitely help you!" Ma Baoguo said, putting his arm around Zhou Yang's shoulder, smiling.

"Xiao Yang, no matter how powerful his martial arts are, what's the use? He was still defeated by my 'Monkey Steals the Peach'!

Come, I'll teach you!" Wu De laughed.

Zhou Yang remained sullen and unresponsive.

Just then, a scout on horseback galloped over from the front: "Report! Captain, there's a group of Mountain Bandits ahead, numbering ten thousand!"

"What?" Lin Yue was somewhat incredulous!

"Hahaha!" Zhou Yang immediately burst into laughter, constantly looking at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue didn't even care about being proven wrong at this moment. He galloped his horse to the front of the Army.

"Brother Lin!"

"Brother Lu! Brother Xu! What's the plan?" Lin Yue asked.

"Attack!" Lu Yun said. "The General isn't here, so we're in charge!"

Xu Guang nodded in agreement: "Clearing out rebels is our vanguard's duty."

"Good, we definitely have to fight, but I mean, how do we fight?" Lin Yue asked.

"I am not talented, but I have a small suggestion.

For our three divisions, I will attack the center, and the two of you will flank from the left and right!" Lu Yun said with a smile.

"Alright, what kind of tactics do we need for Mountain Bandits? Let's just do it like this!" Xu Guang agreed.

"Then we'll each prepare? Attack after one incense stick's time!" Lin Yue said. Seeing the two nod, he returned to the White Horse Righteous Cavalry.

Lin Yue gave a few simple instructions to the Generals and then announced: "Prepare to attack!"

Subsequently, the three cavalry divisions silently dispersed. Lin Yue looked at the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, who had a training level of 75, and felt very confident.

"Two brothers, move out!" Lu Yun's voice came through the communication token. Lin Yue smiled: "Move out!"

Then, ten thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry stirred up clouds of dust! They charged towards the rebel Army!

The rebels were heading towards a small town nearby.

"It looks like this group of rebels is going to attack the city?" Lin Yue laughed. This was even bolder than Zhao Bo at the time, daring to attack a city in broad daylight!

"Kill!" Lin Yue attacked from the right. The White Horse Righteous Cavalry circled in an arc, and the three Armies, like three sharp blades, plunged into the rebel formation!

The fully recovered Big Yellow suddenly leaped into the formation, directly trampling a rebel to death upon landing!

Lin Yue charged left and right, as if in an unpopulated land!

"Congratulations, player, for slaying twenty-seven rebels! Reward: 270 merit points!"

In less than half an incense stick's time, the Mountain Bandits completely collapsed and scattered in all directions!

Lu Yun and Xu Guang rode over, smiling, and met up with Lin Yue.

"That was too short. I hadn't even warmed up yet, and it's already over," Xu Guang said, laughing.

"For Mountain Bandits of this caliber to be so rampant, the General of Shanggu, Nangong Zhen, might be following in Li Chengliang's footsteps," Lu Yun laughed.

"No, it's too simple. Can they really attack a city with this strength?" Lin Yue doubted, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

The Soldiers in the rear hadn't even entered the battlefield, and the battle was already over. This group of rebels, they must be a joke!

"Captain, rebels are appearing on both the east and west sides!" a scout reported on horseback!

"Damn it, it's a trap!"

Immediately after, the ground shook, kicking up dust two people high.

As the dust settled, a mighty warrior, over two meters tall and incredibly massive, appeared before the Generals' eyes!
