Chapter 12

"After that, I can look to the future and lead everyone to a brighter and better future;"

"Therefore, I need to secretly train a true cavalry of private troops to wait for the changes in the times;"

"Huang Hansheng, are you willing to help me?"

PS: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, and reviews!

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong immediately stood up, knelt on one knee before Su Xuan with a solemn face, and cupped his hands: "Thank you for your trust, Young Master. I will not hesitate to serve you to the death!"

"Haha! Good!"

Su Xuan was overjoyed, quickly stepped forward to help Huang Zhong up, patted his shoulder heavily, and said: "Then the matter of training the troops is left to you, Huang Hansheng!"

"I have set up a training ground in a secret manor twenty miles west of the city;"

"All the equipment and ordnance are basically ready! The only thing missing is warhorses, but it should be enough to support the initial training!"

"I will find a way to solve the warhorse issue later."

"As for the soldiers, these past few days, I have already had my family recruit many good men from the tenant farmers;"

"I also ordered people to recruit many young refugees in the name of recruiting caravan guards;"

"These people total 3,000 in all, and they will all be handed over to you!"

"I need you to train a battle-ready and daring cavalry within a year. Do you have the confidence?"

Clearly, Su Xuan had not been idle these past few days.

Even when he went to Wancheng to recruit Huang Zhong, he had already assigned the tasks.

"Understood! I will certainly not fail the Lord's expectations!"

Huang Zhong immediately cupped his hands and accepted the order.

He could see that the Young Master was a person who did great things.

Both his mind and vision were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

It was not just achieved by the heaven-defying comprehension gained from his epiphany.

He was a hero in his own right.

Just this long-term vision and powerful action plan and execution were extraordinary.

Huang Zhong saw the opportunity to bring glory to his ancestors and the family in Su Xuan, so naturally, he did not want to miss it.

Even if it wasn't for Su Xuan, he would strive to do these things well.

Not to mention that he was a person who knew how to repay kindness, and he was determined to repay Su Xuan's kindness.

The kindness of saving Huang Xu, the kindness of recognizing his talent, the kindness of trust.

These made Huang Zhong completely loyal to Su Xuan.

"By the way!"

At the end, Su Xuan added: "I will also go along to receive training, and at the same time, I will learn how to train and command troops and military strategy from you, Huang Hansheng."

"Uh..."

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "That is possible, but as for military strategy, I actually don't know much about it. I hope the Lord won't be disappointed."

"It's fine!"

Su Xuan waved his hand dismissively: "We will progress together! I have also collected some military books. I will give you a copy tomorrow, and we can study them together!"

He felt that the current Huang Zhong was not enough, and he wanted to further cultivate and improve him.

It would be best to cultivate him into a well-rounded general and commander.

He hoped that Huang Zhong would be the true number one fierce general and number one commander in the world in the future.

Well! Except for him, the Lord.

"Really?"

Huang Zhong's eyes widened, and he asked with excitement and anticipation.

"Haha! Naturally!"

Su Xuan smiled wryly: "I wouldn't deceive you about such a thing, Huang Hansheng! You will see those military books tomorrow. I hope you will study them diligently and not let me down."

"Understood!"

Huang Zhong cupped his hands excitedly and promised: "I will certainly not fail the Lord's high expectations!"

"By the way!"

Su Xuan asked further: "I heard that in the military, there are formation methods composed of martial generals and their armies, which can gather and mobilize the Qi and blood of the troops to boost the main general and the soldiers. Is this true or false?"

"This..."

Huang Zhong hesitated: "My inheritance does mention it, and my teacher also mentioned some of it, but unfortunately, that inheritance is incomplete. It does not contain specific military formation methods, and my teacher didn't know much about this either;"

"But some large noble clans or military families must have such military formation methods;"

"Of course, to form a true military formation, the requirements for the main general are extremely high. I am afraid that at least a first-class fierce general at the Transformation Realm is needed to possibly do it;"

"More importantly, the requirements for the soldiers are also very high. Ordinary soldiers won't work; they must be the elite of the elite, and they must all practice Martial Dao to have a possibility."

How much Qi and blood do ordinary people have?

Moreover, if you don't practice Martial Dao, you don't know how to mobilize Qi and blood!

Not to mention gathering it for the main general to form a military formation.

In short, this is not something that ordinary people or ordinary martial generals can play with or afford.

In addition, the stronger the main general, the larger the scale of the military formation they can control.

A first-class martial general at the Transformation Realm can probably only control a military formation of a hundred people at most.

A super-first-class fierce general at the Dan-Energy Realm can control a military formation of three hundred to eight hundred people;

A peerless fierce general at the Gang-Energy Realm can control a military formation of over a thousand people.

"Furthermore, when a fierce general who has been through many battles and veteran soldiers have cooperated for a long time, as long as the fierce general's ability is not bad, they can also explore military formation methods on their own;"

"However, this is not systematic, can only be used by oneself, and can only be understood intuitively, not taught in words."

Huang Zhong added.

"So that's how it is!"

Su Xuan nodded in understanding: "It seems I have to find a way to obtain a military formation method, or go to the frontier to see the subordinates of suitable fierce generals, otherwise, I can only deduce and create it slowly myself!"

"In addition, it is best to create a military formation body-forging technique for soldiers to practice, so that the power of the military formation can be integrated more easily."

Since he had a clue and a concept, Su Xuan believed that this should not stump him.

At most, it would just take a few more months.

"Uh..."

Huang Zhong shook his head with a wry smile: "Only you, Lord, would dare to say that! If it were anyone else, no one could do such a thing, even the sages of ancient times!"

"However, if you can really create a military formation body-forging technique suitable for soldiers to practice, the difficulty of forming a military formation will inevitably drop significantly;"

"By then, fierce generals of the same level might be able to command more troops to form military formations."

Of course, the premise of everything is that Su Xuan can do it.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded in understanding: "I have noted this, and I will find a way later;"

"By the way! Do you know anyone else you can recommend to me, Huang Hansheng?"

"It's best if they are capable, not of too high a background, and do not currently hold an official position, otherwise, I won't be able to recruit them with my current reputation as a Filial and Honest."

"Hmm..."

Huang Zhong was slightly startled, then stroked his beard and pondered before replying: "There is indeed one suitable candidate. This person is my fellow apprentice; we once studied under the same teacher for a period of time;"

"This person's name is Wen Pin, from Wancheng, Nanyang. Currently, he is idle at home, practicing martial arts and studying, and has the intention to enter officialdom, but he has never had a good opportunity."

"If the Lord is interested, I can invite him over. As for how to persuade him, that will depend on you, Lord."

"Oh?"

Su Xuan was overjoyed.

He knew Wen Pin!

This is a future great commander of Jingzhou, steady, loyal, and brave, with the demeanor of a great general. He is absolutely a great talent.

Su Xuan immediately said to Huang Zhong: "Then I will trouble you, Huang Hansheng! The person you recommend must be extraordinary. I am determined to have this person."

Shouldn't he praise Huang Zhong well for this?

"Haha! The Lord is too kind. Then I will write a letter when I go back. Given the distance from Wancheng to Dengxian, perhaps the Lord will be able to see him tomorrow or the day after."
