Zhang Han's expression became even more stunned.
Only Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and a few other commanders with outstanding military achievements were capable of subduing a thousand of the most elite and arrogant Imperial Guards Cavalry in a day.
Even Zhang Han himself, if he hadn't been in the Imperial Guards for many years, wouldn't have been able to do this.
But now, Ying Changfeng, who was a nameless young master who had never been on the battlefield, actually dared to say such arrogant words?
"Your Highness must be joking!"
"These 1,000 cavalry were carefully selected from the entire Imperial Guards according to His Majesty's orders. They are all true elites who fought the Xiongnu at the border!”
"Because of this, their style is sometimes a little rough. It might be different from what Young Master imagined!”
"As for this general, although I'm not talented, I can only be transferred with His Majesty's permission.”
Zhang Han carefully considered his tone, and looked at Ying Changfeng with a hint of dissatisfaction.
What did this young master think of Great Qin's elites and his commander?
"Whether or not they are elite, we will only know after testing them!”
"Since General Zhang didn't refuse, this Young Master will take it that you've accepted this bet!”
"As for the appointment, this Young Master will naturally go back and explain it to Imperial Father!”
Ying Changfeng gave a faint smile, then directly jumped onto his warhorse and left with Dian Wei and Zhang Liao.
Zhang Han was left dumbfounded.
This young master was too insatiable, right?
Even though Zhang Han's temper had been tempered quite a bit in the Imperial Guards, he couldn't help but feel furious. He decided to teach this arrogant young master a lesson later.
......
On the outskirts of Xianyang, in the capital's drill ground.
A thousand guards cavalry were lined up and discussing.
The Great Qin army was split into three parts: the capital soldiers, the local soldiers, and the border soldiers.
The local soldiers were considered second-tier troops, and their combat strength was relatively low. They were only responsible for maintaining the order of the prefectures and counties. The true elites were still concentrated in the border soldiers and the capital soldiers.
This was especially true for the Imperial Guards, who were responsible for protecting the palace. They were carefully selected from the border soldiers and the capital soldiers, and every one of them was an outstanding talent in Great Qin's army.
Naturally, these elites of the elites were also extremely arrogant. Other than being absolutely loyal to the First Emperor, they might not even buy Zhang Han's words.
"Have you heard? This time, we will be assigned to the Third Young Master, Ying Changfeng.”
"How is this possible? We are Great Qin's elites and are going to fight the Xiongnu; how can we be guards for a young master whose name we have never heard of?”
"You are outdated. This Third Young Master was indeed unknown before, but recently, due to the massacre of the entire Xianyang City, he is very famous now!”
"In my opinion, His Highness has offended too many people and is afraid of death. That's why he wants us to go over!”
"Don't spout nonsense. This is His Majesty's decree. Are you going to defy the decree?”
"I just feel that we are being overused. Protecting a young master should have been done by the bailiffs of the Internal History Office. Why would it be our turn?”
"Sigh. I was still practicing archery every day, preparing to fight the Xiongnu barbarians to the death again to avenge my previous humiliation. Now, it's all gone!”
"That might not be the case. There will be a decisive battle between Great Qin and the Xiongnu sooner or later, and His Majesty will definitely not forget us.”
"Isn't that even worse? Even if we have to go into battle, we'll have to follow this young master who probably can't even understand the array diagram. I'm afraid we won't even know how we died!”
"That's right. I'm not afraid of death. I've fought for so many years and have lived long enough.
What I'm afraid of is that we'll encounter an idiot general who will lead us to our deaths. Not only will we lose in an extremely embarrassing manner, but our titles will also be reduced, and our families will also suffer!”
The horsemen all sighed.
Great Qin implemented a strict system of military merits and titles. No matter what one's background was, as long as one made contributions on the battlefield, they would be able to obtain a corresponding title. Even if one died in battle, the rewards would be given to their family members.
However, this title was not easily obtained. The assessment was very detailed and comprehensive.
No matter how many people were beheaded, if the entire army was defeated, they would still be punished.
It was also because of this that the old Qin people fought bravely on the battlefield and paid great attention to cooperating and supporting their allies. They were of one mind, which was why they had swept through the six countries and unified the Central Plains in a short ten years.
This made it difficult for Old Qin's Generals. The rich and powerful people who could do whatever they wanted in the Six Nations did not exist in Great Qin's army.
Without true ability, the soldiers would not entrust their lives to you!
