Chapter 1196

Cecilia chose soldiers. At first, Yan Rou just watched.

After choosing ten, Yan Rou thought, does the assassin want to train some bodyguards? Good, good.

After choosing 30, Yan Rou thought, the number of bodyguards is a little large. It's OK.

After choosing fifty, Yan Rou thought, fifty, no more. The veterans with great potential are chosen. I can't bear it!

Cecilia did not stop. She chose more than 70 in the first three rows, and then went to the fourth row.

Yan Rou took a deep breath: I can't bear it.

Until Cecilia chose a hundred soldiers, Yan Rou finally couldn't help it.

"Mr. assassin, what does that mean?"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "when I came back from Jizhou this time, I received the father's instruction from my third brother to select sergeants in Youzhou army, train them strictly to form elite soldiers and support the Guandu war. General Yan, don't have any comments on my father's military order."

Yan Rou counseled as soon as she heard it: "the end will not dare."

He is not Yuan Shao's confidant, and naturally he will not complain to Yuan Shao.

After all, Bai Xiaowen is Yuan Shao's own son. Even though he is constrained by his generals, he really gives up his face and wants to do something.

As an awakened person, Bai Xiaowen's bottom line is obviously much lower than that of the previous second childe yuan, and his skin is much thicker!

Cecilia picked more and more quickly, and finally picked out 600 people from the team of 5000.

Yan Rou said with a bitter face, "Mr. assassin, the number of 5000 people I manage is registered. Now there are 600 less people. It's hard to explain when we encounter a military parade in the future."

"Don't worry, general Yan. I will allow you to recruit new soldiers in Youzhou countryside to make up for the vacancy of 600 people. All this is to defeat Cao thieves. I won't forget general Yan's contribution." Bai Xiaowen is in a good mood.

Yan Rou sighed. During the last conscription, seven or eight out of ten of his elite soldiers were transferred. Now Mr. Yuan sent this sharp eyed female general to pick out 600 fierce soldiers. At present, the more than 4000 people under his command are basically broken back dogs, and their combat effectiveness has plummeted.

No matter how hard you practice, you can't catch up with these fierce veterans who have been on the battlefield.

However, Mr. Yuan promised to fill the vacancy for him, and finally didn't do everything.

Yan Rou took the opportunity to ask for money and food: "Mr. assassin, if you want to recruit soldiers, you always have to give some resettlement fees, as well as the new soldiers. You have to prepare the ordnance and food, which is not a small expense. Will you give an approval to the last general so that you can go to Mr. Zhao Rong, the internal history, to withdraw it?"

"No, I'll give you the geometry you need for recruitment. There's no need to find Zhao Rong."

If Yan Rou goes to Zhao Rong, Zhao Rong must be confused, because he has never heard of Yuan Shao's order to recruit again. The withdrawal of money and food is not Yuan Shao's order. If Zhao Rong asks Yuan Shao for instructions at that time, he plans to help, and Bai Xiaowen's surprise mission will certainly fail.

Bai Xiaowen knew that the money for the recruitment could not be avoided, and the rules of the spirit world would not allow him to dig the foot of the wall from the Youzhou army without success.

Digging a group of veterans like this and paying Yan Rou for a group of recruits is almost the greatest benefit Yuan Xi's identity can bring.

Bai Xiaowen gave Yan Rou Shiyi gold (about 2400 yuan) as his military capital to supplement the recruits, and finally calmed the old Liu Yu.

However, everything is worth it. The winged cavalry is one of the strongest arms in Kane. It should also be regarded as a elite soldier in the Three Kingdoms. At least it is not inferior to Tao Qian's Danyang soldier or Liu da'er's white soldier.

Bai Xiaowen continued to write approval documents to let the ordnance workshop and horse farm provide a batch of equipment horses as soon as possible.

Of course, this is not free. All the necessary resources should be borne by Bai Xiaowen himself. In that sentence, he can't call the money and grain stored in Youzhou government treasury at will, otherwise Zhao Rong will ask what happened and ask Yuan Shao for instructions.

The only advantage is that neither the ordnance workshop nor the horse farm will earn the profit of the assassin. It is to provide equipment and war horses at a price close to the cost.

"Cecilia, calculate how much it will cost to train a winged cavalry?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Cecilia said, "a suit of 50 steel armor needs 30 passes. I hope to use 100 steel materials for spears, steel knives and arrowheads. It is also 30 passes. 10 passes for a war horse, plus three months' pay and food consumption, there are 10 passes in total, a total of 80 passes."

"It's so expensive." Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised to hear such a number, although he had some psychological preparation. With more than 20000 yuan of money from my cheap brother-in-law, I can raise 300 winged cavalry!

Cecilia frowned and said, "the armed wing cavalry is definitely a first-class elite. Although I don't know how powerful the tiger and leopard you said, Dior, I believe my wing cavalry will not lose to any elite of the Three Kingdoms!"

After a pause, Cecilia stretched out her hand to soothe a trace of sadness on Bai Xiaowen's face: "Dior, if I really can't help it, I can also reduce some budget. Thirty steel is used for armor and fifty steel is used for spear and steel knife... In this way, each winged cavalry can save about twenty or thirty times."

"No, we must use the best weapons and equipment to train real elite soldiers," Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Raiding Xudu, the soldiers are expensive, and the essence is not much! Let's train 300 wing cavalry for the time being. When Lao Han escorts the property supported by the Julu Tian family, we should be able to train more. In short, I'll find a way in terms of money."

Since he selected 600 veterans, Bai Xiaowen thought he could train at least 600 winged cavalry! An elite force of 600 people can not be underestimated in the Three Kingdoms era.

We should know that it is easy to recruit and difficult to raise troops, and the maintenance cost of elite troops is a large number. There is no force in the world in the three countries, which can maintain a large-scale elite troops. According to the data of the Three Kingdoms consulted by Bai Xiaowen, Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness has a total of 3000 people, and Gao Shun's trapped camp (heavy infantry) is only 700.

Bai Xiaowen doesn't need to spend the cost of long-term military maintenance. He can't stay in the three countries for a year and a half. Three months of food and salaries are enough. This is not an advantage.

Bai Xiaowen spent a day in Peiping City, and Cecilia's training work was on track.

Although Zhao Rong, Jiao touch and other subordinates of Yuan Shao saw general Bai Sanniang (Cecilia) training recruits, first, the number of soldiers was small, and second, they did not use Youzhou money and grain soldiers. Naturally, they would not mind their own business.

Bai Xiaowen was not a master who could relax. After the training work was on the right track, he immediately summoned Yan rou.
