Chapter 557: General Anton

Zhou Yue was also stunned for a moment, but the three results given by Ma Chao surprised him. 【Starter】

In all fairness, he really wanted to choose the first one, although Ma Chao's power is not one of the strongest in the world, but it is also many times stronger than his Panjin Black City force, of course, it is better to have such a big thick leg, and you must know that at this time, behemoths like Daqin, Dahan, Datang, and Daming will not recruit them, unless they can reach a higher level.

However, this choice also made Zhou Yue hesitate, after all, he had been away from Panjin Black City for almost two months now, and he didn't know if he would cause any accidents if he made a decision for them so indifferently than He Qingming and others. After all, this is a distance of tens of thousands of miles.

As for the second option, Zhou Yue will not agree, why, after three years of hard work, he can only take away a thousand pro-soldiers, with this time, he doesn't know how many elite soldiers he can develop!

And the third option is not in line with his current plan.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yue thought about it and said: "Thank you for the love of the governor, my subordinates are willing to swear allegiance to the governor, but my subordinates are no longer the city lords of Panjin Black City, and they have been away from the East for a long time, I am afraid that people's minds will change, and it will be difficult to work. ”

"Oh? This is also reasonable, Dong Yang, what do you think? Ma Chao still has that faint expression, making it difficult to measure what he is thinking in his heart?

"Back to the lord, what Zhou Yue said is not impossible, after all, it is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to control, but my subordinates have heard that his prestige in Liaodong is still very good, so his subordinates have a good plan, the lord can accept his oath of allegiance, and then send a general and a capable official, lead thousands of elite soldiers, carry Zhou Yue's warrant and seal, and go to receive Liaodong, so, wouldn't everyone be happy?" That Dong Yang stroked his goatee lightly, and then talked eloquently, if it weren't for the insight to see his details, he would really think that this guy was an ancient strategist!

Hearing his so-called good strategy, Zhou Yue couldn't help but scold in his heart, this strategy is really vicious, put him in the Western Regions, and then send elite soldiers to take his orders to take over Panjin Black City, and then mix the people of the mysterious alliance in this team, even if they can't really control Panjin Black City, but He Qingming and they have to worry that Zhou Yue is still in the Western Regions, so they must also be a rat trap, and the final result will be worse and worse!

What's even more hateful is that in this case, Zhou Yue can't refuse this Jian Yì yet.

Ma Chao sat above, but he looked at the scroll casually again, and after a long time, he said: "It's not proper, now that the strong enemy is looking around, it is no longer possible to divide the army, and this is to the east, it is thousands of miles away, the road is difficult and dangerous, and the general is not competent, not to mention that Temujin's army will obstruct it halfway, so, so let's do it, Zhou Yue, you offer a heavy treasure, a bounty of 50,000, and be promoted to General Anton, you can form an independent battalion, command 5,000 troops, 500 personal soldiers, 500 stone a year, and in addition, the position of deputy city lord of Broken Leaf City is vacant, You will be responsible for it, and you will be able to take up your duties within three days, and you will take office immediately, and you must not violate the order! ”

This is quite a good reward, at least beyond Zhou Yue's pre-estimate, and after thanking Ma Chao at the moment, he withdrew with Dong Yang and the others.

"General Zhou, congratulations!" As soon as he came out, Dong Yang smiled and said happily, he didn't see any displeasure at all, and even introduced the two generals to Zhou Yue very familiarly, it turned out that they were just two personal commanders under Ma Chao's account, but they were not famous figures in history.

After a hypocritical greeting, when the two pro-soldier commanders said goodbye, Dong Yang said slowly: "Zhou Yue, you must have seen my identity, but I think you have misunderstood me, reasoning, we are the same camp, whether you believe it or not, we have no ill will towards you, now in this black city world, if we survivors can't join hands in the same boat, but have to be suspicious of each other, that is the real end, and, send you another piece of advice, Broken Leaf City is now in danger, Under the siege of the black-clothed food and heavy soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for a few days, you must be very careful, if there is any difficulty, you can directly ask Commander Hu Dalei for help, and this is all he says. ”

Zhou Yue didn't say anything, nor did he express his position, he was completely cautious about the alliance behind Hu Dalei and Dong Yang.

After leaving Ma Chao's Governor's Mansion, he immediately went to the barracks with a few guards, although Ma Chao promoted him to General Anton, but did not assign him soldiers, his five thousand soldiers, all had to go to the barracks to recruit, fortunately, this time due to his different status, the price of recruiting recruits is only half, and the price of various equipment is the same, otherwise, he will really be very unbearable.

In addition, high-level troops can also be directly recruited in this barracks, even including the kind of black-armored blood cavalry with extremely powerful combat power, but the price of recruiting one requires five thousand gold, which is simply black, this is still on the basis of half price, and the strongest troops in this Ma Chao camp are also limited in the number of recruits, and the official position of the captain can only recruit one, the official position of General Pi can recruit four, and the official position of the partial general can recruit six, and when it comes to Zhou Yue, General Anton, it can only recruit eight.

And now Zhou Yue already has four black-armored blood riders by his side, which Ma Chao left for him, so he can only recruit four more!

Also, even if Zhou Yue spent his own money to recruit the black-armored blood horse, but the object of his real allegiance still belongs to Ma Chao, and there are even regulations that if Ma Chao has an urgent order, then he can give priority to summoning all the black-armored blood horsemen, so although this class is so strong, it is not cost-effective.

In the end, after hesitating again and again, Zhou Yue gave up the four places.

It's better to recruit ordinary soldiers, at least you won't feel distressed when you die.

He didn't choose to recruit high-level soldiers, but chose all of them, because according to that kind of cost performance, even if only one high-level soldier can grow out of ten recruits, it is worth it.

So the first thing Zhou Yue recruited was 3,000 sword and shield infantry, because the recruitment price was halved, so he only spent 15,000 gold, these 3,000 sword and shield infantry, he only hoped that 1,000 would be enough to survive, and 1,000 Xiliang swordsmen were still very lethal.

Then, what Zhou Yue chose to recruit was 1,000 pikemen, which were still the most common troops, costing 5,000 gold.

Longbowmen recruited 500 and spent 5,000 gold.

The two special classes of scout cavalry and light crossbowmen, each recruit, costs 25 gold at half price, and 500 are recruited each, so it is 25,000 gold.

Before and after, he just spent the 50,000 gold rewarded by the order to build the city.

But this is not enough, Zhou Yue still needs at least 50,000 gold to buy various high-level equipment.
