Xiong Huai, the name of the recruitment, has also thought of it, that is, to expand the personal guard of the King of Chu.

At the time of this departure, Xiong Huai transferred a thousand palace guards from the Chu Palace as the personal guards of the King of Chu, and in yesterday's battle, the eight hundred personal guards sent were almost wiped out. There were more than 1,300 rangers with the Mo family, and less than 30 of them came back alive, and there was no lucky one who was not injured.

Now Xiong Huai only has two hundred guards of the King of Chu in his hands, and it is reasonable to expand the guards of the King of Chu.

Recruit an army directly under the King of Chu.

As for the number of people, Xiong Huai plans to temporarily set it at 3,000 people, and then use these 3,000 people as the backbone, and then expand the personal guards of the king of Chu according to the needs of the situation, but at that time, this army may not be called the personal guards of the king of Chu.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai said to the outside world: "Pass on the order of the widow and summon Yin Zhaoju to come to discuss the matter." ”

Soon after, Zhao Ju walked in and saluted the king of Chu: "The minister pays homage to the king, but I don't know what the king summoned Weichen, what is the so-called matter." ”

Xiong Huai said: "In yesterday's battle, the widow sent to follow the doctor to attack the eight hundred guards of the Qin general Gongzihua was almost wiped out. The widow's 1,000 guards are now only about 200. Every time the widow thinks about it, it is always difficult to sleep and eat, so the widow wants to select 3,000 elites in the army as the widow's personal guard. ”

3,000 people...

This is already all the elite soldiers that a large feudal lord has.

Although the two hundred guards of the King of Chu are relatively small compared to the King of Chu.

But now that the king of Chu is on the front line, guarded by heavy Chu soldiers, the possibility of danger is very small.

Zhao Ju asked himself, he didn't know where the king of Chu came from this sense of uneasiness.

Zhao Ju's pupils contracted, and he asked cautiously, "I don't know what the king's requirements are for the guards?" Ask when the three thousand guards will be called. ”

Now that the war is not over, the king of Chu will transfer 3,000 elites from the army, which is really not a good thing for the Chu army.

The king of Chu does not need to go to the battlefield, and these 3,000 elite arches defend the king of Chu, which means that the Chu army was restrained by the king of Chu with 3,000 elite soldiers.

But compared to the safety of the king of Chu, three thousand people are nothing to the Chu army, after all, the safety of the king of Chu is more important.

Xiong Huai cleared his throat and sighed leisurely: "Yesterday, the widow had eight hundred guards, plus five hundred rangers, to assault the vanguard of a Qin army, and the whole army was wiped out, and the widow was deeply ashamed. ”

"Everyone in the world says that Wei Wushu is the elite of today, and few people want to use the selection standards of Wei Wushu of Wei State to select 3,000 elites from the army."

"What?" Zhao Ju was shocked when he heard this, thinking that the king of Chu was going to reorganize the military soldiers in the Chu country.

Immediately raised his head and looked at the King of Chu.

The selection criteria of Wei Wushu are known to all countries: the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the negative arrow of fifty, the top of the fight, the crown with the sword, the victory of three days' food, and the middle of the day and the hundred miles.

The soldiers of Wei Wushu must be able to wear triple armor, hold a halberd, hang a sword at the waist, carry a rhino face oar, fifty crossbows and strong crossbows, and carry three days of military rations, and be able to march a hundred miles in a row in half a day, so that they can be selected as military soldiers.

After Wei Wu became an army, he was the most powerful army in the world, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Qi couldn't raise their heads, especially the Qin State, which was almost destroyed.

Wei was able to become the overlord in the early Warring States period, and Wei Wushu made great contributions.

With such an army, other countries naturally follow suit, and Chu is no exception.

After Wu arrived in the state of Chu, he organized and trained a new army for the state of Chu, which was an army directly under the king of Chu.

As a result, half of the new army was trained and the treasury of Chu was empty, so it had to carry out political reforms to open up sources and reduce expenditure, so that the new army could continue to train.

After Wu Qi's death, the new army of Chu was slowly drowned in the dust of history.

The resistance of the aristocracy was partly due to this, but also to the huge expenses and the financial unsustainability.

Such an army is not something that a scattered country like Chu can maintain.

Of course, the problem of huge consumption has also been encountered by the Wei State, so the most elite army of the Wei State is the Wei Wushu, and the regular army is the conscripted soldiers, and these Wei Wushu recruited by the Wei State are an important supplement to the conscripts.

If the hundreds of thousands of troops of Wei are all Wei soldiers, then the king of Wei will not even be able to raise such a huge Wei soldier.

Zhao Ju asked, "The king wants to train martial arts from the beginning!" ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and denied: "It costs a lot to train the soldiers, the first king has failed, how can the widow act rashly, this time it is just to select the personal guards of the king of Chu from the army, and it will not be like a military pawn, to train an army." ”

Zhao Ju breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this.

Xiong Huai continued: "However, since this army is a widow's guard, it is natural to be stationed in Yingdu for a long time, and in order to compensate for the soldiers who joined the guard, the widow decided to exempt the guard. ”

"If one person joins the guard, the whole family is exempt from forced labor, but if he joins the widow's guard, he can be exempted from tax for ten years."

"In this selection of personal guards, as long as they are under twenty years old, and in addition to the generals of the personal guards, ordinary soldiers who are over thirty years old will be transferred to other uses."

"The specific selection will be carried out after this war, and the elite will be selected in the army, 1,000 people will be selected in the widow battalion, and 1,000 people will be selected from the Pillar State Department and the Division of the Defeated Division."

"Xianqing can spread this news to the army and let the soldiers prepare."

As soon as Zhao Ju heard it, he knew that the King of Chu's action must be intended to train a new army, but if there were only 3,000 people, the State of Chu would be able to fully bear it.

Moreover, the personal guard of the King of Chu is directly subordinate to the King of Chu, and it is difficult for others to intervene.

Since the king of Chu has decided, then he can only obey.

Zhao Ju responded: "Minister, take the order." ”

Seeing Zhao Ju leave, Xiong Huai sighed slightly.

Soon after, someone came to report: "King, General Deng Ling has woken up, and now he is going to visit Doctor Shang." ”

Xiong Huai said: "The widow knows. ”

Afterwards, Xiong Huai and his guards also walked towards the tent.

The camp tent has already learned from the sound of the soldiers outside that the king of Chu is coming, and it is too late to go out of the camp to greet him, seeing that the king of Chu has come in, Deng Lingguang hurriedly saluted and said: "The ministers pay tribute to the king." ”

"You don't have to be polite." Xiong Huai saw Deng Lingguang standing beside the unconscious Tooth and saluted, and condoled: "Qing has suffered many injuries, and he needs to recuperate." ”

"Thank you, for your love." Deng Lingguang reluctantly gave up.

Xiong Huai looked at the unconscious and asked, "How is Mr. now, has the imperial doctor come to treat Mr. today?" ”

Deng Lingguang's face darkened, and he said: "Back to the king, the imperial doctor has already come, but Mr. has lost too much blood, so he can only..."

Xiong Huai knows that blood transfusion can be done with excessive blood loss, but in this era, he can only depend on his fate, and he still needs to work hard for many years at least for blood transfusion.

Xiong Huai said sadly: "The widow has been looking forward to the two gentlemen for a long time, but he doesn't want to see the gentleman for only one day, Mr. Kushou has suffered misfortune, and the gentleman has also suffered a heavy blow, if it is possible, the widow would rather the two gentlemen did not come to see the widow, and the widow does not want the two gentlemen to suffer calamity." ”

Deng Lingguang said with a solemn face: "Why did the king say this, the Mo family adheres to the teaching of Zi Mozi and comes to the rescue of Chu State, it is the righteousness of the Mo people, and my Mo family has no regrets." ”
