Cecilia chose soldiers, and Yan Rou just watched at first.

After choosing ten, Yan Rou thought to herself, does Lord Assassin Shi want to train some personal guards?

After choosing thirty, Yan Rou thought to herself, the number of guards here is a bit large, but it's okay.

After choosing fifty, Yan Rou thought to herself, fifty, no more. Those who were picked away were veterans with considerable potential, and they couldn't bear it!

Cecilia did not stop, choosing more than seventy in the first three rows, and then moved on to the fourth.

Yan Rou took a deep breath: I endure.

It wasn't until Cecilia had chosen a hundred soldiers that Yan Rou finally couldn't help it.

"Lord Thorn, what does this mean?"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "When I came back from Jizhou this time, I received an order from my father conveyed by my third brother to select sergeants in the Youzhou Army, strictly train them to form elite soldiers, and support the war of Guandu. General Yan, don't you have any objections to your father's military orders. ”

Yan Rou was stunned when she heard this: "The last general will not dare." ”

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

After all, Bai Xiaowen's identity is Yuan Shao's own son, even if he is constrained by the generals under his command, but he really gives up his face to do something, and there is still a lot to do.

As an awakened person, Bai Xiaowen's bottom line is obviously much lower than that of Yuan Ergongzi before, and his skin is much thicker!

Cecilia picked faster and faster, and finally out of a team of 5,000 people, 600 people were selected.

Yan Rou said with a bitter face: "Lord Thorn Shi, the number of five thousand people and horses under my control is registered. Now there are 600 fewer people, and it will be difficult to explain when it comes to military parades and investigations in the future. ”

"General Yan, don't worry, these six hundred people are vacant, I allow you to recruit new soldiers in the countryside of Youzhou to make up for it. All this is to defeat the Cao thief, General Yan's contribution, I will not forget. Bai Xiaowen was in a good mood.

Yan Rou sighed, the last time the army was recruited, the elite soldiers under his command were transferred seven or eight out of ten, and now Yuan Ergongzi sent this female general with a vicious eye to pick up six hundred soldiers. Now the more than 4,000 people under his command are basically dogs with broken spines, and their combat effectiveness has plummeted.

Recruit village warriors, no matter how diligent they practice, they can't catch up with these veterans who have been on the battlefield.

However, Yuan Gongzi promised to make up the vacancy for him, and finally did not do the thing.

Yan Rou took the opportunity to ask for money and food: "Lord Assassin Shi, if you want to recruit soldiers, you have to give some settling-in allowances, as well as newly recruited soldiers, and you have to prepare ordnance and food, which is a lot of expenses." Did the lord give the last general an approval so that he could go to Lord Zhao Rong of the inner history to withdraw it?"

"No need, I will give you what you need to recruit soldiers, no need to look for Zhao Rong. ”

If Yan Rou went to Zhao Rong, Zhao Rong would definitely be puzzled, because he had not heard of Yuan Shao's order to recruit troops again. And to withdraw money and food, it is necessary to have Yuan Shao's order, and when Zhao Rong goes to ask Yuan Shao again, he plans to go through the gang, and Bai Xiaowen's surprise attack mission will definitely be in vain.

Bai Xiaowen knew that this money for recruiting troops could not be avoided, and the rules of the spirit world would not allow him to unscrupulously dig into the wall from the Youzhou army at no cost.

Digging up a group of veterans like this and spending money to make up a group of new recruits for Yan Rou is almost the biggest benefit that Yuan Xi's identity can bring.

Bai Xiaowen gave Yan Rou ten yuan of gold (about 2,400 yuan) as his military resources to supplement the new soldiers, and finally appeased this Liu Yu's old department.

It's all worth it, though. Hussars is one of the strongest troops in the Kane plane, and it should be regarded as an elite soldier in the Three Kingdoms plane, at least not inferior to Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers, or Liu Da'er's Baiwei soldiers.

Bai Xiaowen continued to write approvals, asking the armory workshop and horse farm to provide a batch of equipment and war horses as soon as possible.

Of course, this is not gratuitous, and the required assets must be borne by Bai Xiaowen himself. is still the same sentence, he can't call the money and grain stored in the Youzhou Mansion at will, otherwise Zhao Rong will definitely ask about it and ask Yuan Shao for instructions.

The only good thing is that neither the armory workshop nor the horse farm will make a profit from Lord Thorn, and the equipment horses will be provided at close to the cost price.

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

Cecilia said, "A set of fifty steel-made armor requires thirty pieces. Spears, steel knives, and arrowheads, I hope to use a hundred steel materials, the same thirty times. 10 taels for a war horse, plus three months' salary, and a total of 10 taels for horses, totaling 80 cents. ”

"It's expensive. Although Bai Xiaowen was a little mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked when he heard such a number. The more than 20,000 yuan of money obtained from the cheap uncle can be counted to raise 300 winged cavalry!

Cecilia frowned and said, "The hussars armed like this are definitely first-class elites. Although I don't know how powerful the tiger and leopard cavalry you said Dior, I believe that my hussar troops will not lose to any elite soldiers in the Three Kingdoms plane!"

After a pause, Cecilia reached out to soothe a trace of sadness on Bai Xiaowen's face: "Dior, if I really can't help it, I can also lower some budgets." Thirty steels were used for armor, and fifty steels were used for spear swords...... In this way, each hussar can save about twenty or thirty strokes after training. ”

"No, we must use the best weapons and equipment to train real elite soldiers," Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Surprise attack on Xu Du, the soldiers are not much more expensive! For the time being, train three hundred winged cavalry, and when Lao Han escorts the property supported by the Julu Tian family, he should be able to train another batch." Anyway, I'll figure it out when it comes to money. ”

Since 600 veterans had been selected, Bai Xiaowen thought that he could train at least 600 winged cavalry! A group of 600 elite soldiers was already an elite force that could not be underestimated in the Three Kingdoms era.

You must know that it is easy to recruit troops and difficult to raise soldiers, and the maintenance cost of elite soldiers is even more large, and there is no force in the Three Kingdoms Plane World that can maintain a large-scale elite army. According to the information of the Three Kingdoms consulted by Bai Xiaowen, Gongsun Zhan's Baima Yicong had a total of 3,000 people, and Gao Shun's trapped camp (heavy infantry) was only 700 people.

Bai Xiaowen doesn't need to spend the cost of raising troops for a long time, and he himself can't stay in the Three Kingdoms Plane for a year and a half, and three months' food and salary are enough. This is an advantage that is not an advantage.

In Beiping City, Bai Xiaowen sat in charge for a day, and Cecilia's training work was also on track.

Zhao Rong, Jiao Touch and other Yuan Shao's subordinates, although they saw General Bai Sanniang (Cecilia) training recruits, the number of soldiers was small, and the second did not use Youzhou's money and food soldiers, so they naturally would not meddle.

Bai Xiaowen was not a master who could be idle, and after the training work was on the right track, he immediately summoned Yan Rou.
