Chapter 279

Hearing Lin Yang speak in person, both of them revealed joy and agreed to join the army!

After a simple conversation with the two, Lin Yang also learned their names!

Ling Cao? Xu Sheng?

That seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth is the young Xu Sheng!

The military general who was jokingly called "Great Treasure" by many players in later generations!

Xu Sheng, whose ancestral home is Qingzhou, moved to Wuxian to avoid the chaos of war!

He was brave in his youth and was famous for his courage!

Because he heard about the martial arts field, he came specifically to try!

Ling Cao, whose ancestral home is Yuhang, Wu Jun, also heard about the martial arts field and specifically gathered more than a hundred local braves to come!

And his son, Ling Tong, is also a famous military general in Jiangdong!

"No wonder these two could fight Taishi Ci for dozens of rounds!"

Lin Yang was exceptionally happy about the arrival of Xu Sheng and Ling Cao!

Coming early has the benefits of coming early!

He can still recruit some of these young Jiangdong military generals!

"Good, from today on, you two shall both be Commandants of a Separate Division, each commanding three thousand soldiers, and placed under the command of Taishi Ziyi!"

Lin Yang looked at the two and waved his hand, directly appointing them as Commandants of a Separate Division to command three thousand soldiers!

"I hope you will not disappoint me!"

He said to the two, and hearing that they were directly appointed as Commandants of a Separate Division to command a unit of three thousand soldiers, both of them had their eyes shining!

"We are willing to die for the Master!"

A step to the sky, the two can be said to have taken a step to the sky!

Directly from ordinary soldiers to Commandants of a Separate Division!

Don't look at the fact that there are a bunch of Commandants of a Separate Division under Lin Yang's command!

But this official position is already not low in the military system of the Han Dynasty!

The military system of the Han Dynasty!

Divides soldiers into Squad Leaders, Platoon Leaders, Centurions, and Thousand-man Commanders, which are the Military Marquises!

After the Military Marquis, there are the two positions of Commandant of a Separate Division and Colonel!

Starting from these two positions, one can command a separate unit!

With two or three thousand troops under one's command!

Further back are Generals, General of the Household, miscellaneous Generals, etc.!

It can be said that Xu Sheng and Ling Cao have directly jumped to become mid-level military generals!

"Ziyi, from today on, establish rules in the army. Anyone who can hold on for fifty rounds in your hands can be promoted!"

After thinking about it, Lin Yang still said this to Taishi Ci!

As the Master, he must be clear about rewards and punishments!

In the future, the army will be based on military merit, supplemented by martial prowess!

If you really have the ability, just hold on for fifty rounds under Taishi Ci, and you can serve as a Commandant of a Separate Division!

As for promotion beyond Commandant of a Separate Division, it can only depend on military merit!

Of course!

If there is someone who can defeat Taishi Ci, then Lin Yang wouldn't mind promoting him exceptionally!

Upon arrival, he recruited two military generals, Xu Sheng and Ling Cao; Lin Yang's mood was quite good!

In this way!

He doesn't have to worry too much about not having generals to use when the army attacks Yangzhou next!

And just when Lin Yang was resolving Yan Baihu, Sun Jian's army on the other side

"Master, now that Lin Yang occupies Wu Jun, it is no longer possible for us to take action from Kuaiji Commandery!"

In the main military tent, after several days of planning and thinking, Zhou Yu had to persuade Sun Jian to abandon the previous plan!

Chen Yu, the Inspector of Kuaiji Commandery, is Chen Gui's brother!

As soon as Lin Yang's army arrives in Kuaiji Commandery, the other party will definitely defect to Lin Yang!

By that time, the troops under Lin Yang's command will exceed fifty thousand!

The troops in their hands will no longer have an advantage!

"Gongjin, what brilliant plan do you have?"

Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and others all looked at Zhou Yu!

Although they are veteran generals in the army, they know how to fight on the battlefield!

As for offering strategies, they are really not very good at it!

"Master, what we need to consider this time is what we should do if Lin Yang marches to Kuaiji Commandery and heads straight for Yuzhang Commandery!"

He pointed to the location of Kuaiji Commandery on the map, and then dragged it to the position of Yuzhang Commandery!

This time, in order to capture Lujiang Commandery, Sun Jian mobilized forty thousand troops!

The army left to guard the city is only fifteen thousand!

It is almost impossible for such troops to block the more than fifty thousand troops under Lin Yang!

Now, they are in a passive position!

"Gongjin, do you mean to have the Master retreat?"

Han Dang on the side frowned and looked at Zhou Yu!

If they retreat!

Then this also means that their desire to capture the entire Yangzhou is completely ruined!

Once Yuan Gonglu returns!

Lujiang Commandery will inevitably be attacked!

"Retreating is undoubtedly the safest choice!"

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Jian, Han Dang, and the others!

The troops under Lin Yang's command cannot be compared to the Yangzhou troops!

Those are elite soldiers!

Once Lin Yang marches to Yuzhang Commandery, Huang Gai and the others will very likely be defeated!

"Apart from retreating, are there any other ways?"

Sitting in the main seat, as the Tiger of Jiangdong, he, Sun Jian, dares to fight even Yuan Gonglu; he is not afraid of fighting Lin Yang at all!

Retreating to compete with Lin Yang is not what Sun Jian wants!

What he wants is the land of Yangzhou!

"There is!"

Just when everyone thought there was only one way to retreat, Zhou Yu's eyes shone with brilliance, and he nodded extremely firmly!

There is not only one way to resist Lin Yang by retreating!

However!

The other method is even more dangerous!

"Master, this plan is too risky, absolutely not!"

As soon as Zhou Yu's strategy was stated, Zu Mao on the side anxiously opposed it!

Sun Ce and others sitting on the side also spoke one after another, opposing Zhou Yu's plan!

Such a strategy is simply too dangerous!

"No need to say more, my mind is made up!"

Sun Jian glared with his tiger eyes, and the people in the hall all fell silent!

Three days later, Yangzhou, Wuxian

"Master, the army is ready!"

"Hmm, order the army to set off immediately!"
