"In that case, it's true!"

After hearing Zhang Ying's words, Zhu Wei felt that there was some truth to it. After all, Liu Yao only had a total of [-] to [-] troops.

This time Zhang Ying lost soldiers who were part of Liu Yao's main force. They were like field troops in the modern regular army, not soldiers from ordinary second- and third-line local garrison troops.

This main force has the highest combat effectiveness, and the less it dies, the less it dies.

This time, more than 3000 were lost at once, and Liu Yao should also feel heartbroken.

No wonder Zhang Ying is still worried that Liu Yao will punish him for the crime of killing soldiers.

And the soldiers and horses that Zhu Wei wanted to borrow from Liu Yao were naturally the main force that could be drawn out to fight directly. If they were replaced by ordinary garrison soldiers in those places, their combat effectiveness would be slightly better than that of the civilian auxiliary soldiers.

If there is no good general to lead, then the training of this kind of local garrison is average.

But as his main force, if it were Zhu Wei himself, he would definitely be reluctant to lend it to others casually.

However, Zhu Wei had already discussed this situation with Wang Yuyan, so Zhu Wei suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked Zhang Ying, "Then, General Zhang, if Wei recruits troops in Danyang, I wonder if Liu Muzhou will agree! I have heard about Danyang soldiers for a long time. In the name of Wei, if Wei recruits troops in Danyang, with the strength of the new recruits, maybe he can fight against Na Ruo Rong!"

"Recruitment? This..., Mr. Wei, it will take a lot of money!"

Zhang Ying didn't expect Zhu Wei to make such a statement. After thinking about it, he felt that Liu Yao would not care about this, but private recruitment is not something that can be recruited with empty teeth.

Not to mention the monthly salary after recruiting soldiers, when recruiting soldiers, they also have to pay a settling-in allowance first, which is not a small amount of money.

Zhu Wei was not very surprised when he heard this. After all, it costs gold to recruit troops in the Three Kingdoms game, let alone in the current real world.

However, there are two methods of conscription in the game, one is normal conscription, the higher the force of the conscription general, the more the number of conscripts will be, and a certain amount of gold will be spent at the same time.

When Zhu Wei was playing the game, he didn't pay much attention to the specific amount of gold. It seemed that recruiting [-] soldiers required about [-] gold.

Another way is to recruit soldiers. The more charismatic generals are recruited, the more soldiers will be recruited, but the gold cost for recruiting is about four times that of recruiting soldiers.

The only thing that recruiting is better than conscription in the game is that the soldiers obtained by recruiting have a training speed of [-] at the beginning, while the soldiers recruited have a single-digit training speed at most.

But in fact, Zhu Wei had never recruited troops before, it was unnecessary, if he was forced to recruit troops temporarily to increase his strength, then the game would definitely be unplayable.

It's just that Zhu Wei is still in the state of a wandering monarch, and there is no way to study how to recruit or recruit soldiers in the game system, and how the game system will give him soldiers.

Therefore, Zhu Wei could only recruit troops by himself in the real world. However, Zhu Wei did not have experience in this area and did not know how much it would cost to recruit troops. Therefore, Zhu Wei looked at Zhang Ying and asked sincerely, "Zhang Ying General, I don’t know how much it costs to recruit soldiers? There are some copper coins in the hands of the guards now!”

"Ling Fa, I know this. If you recruit soldiers by the official service method, you don't need to spend any money. But if you recruit soldiers privately, you usually need to pay a regular settling allowance. After that, you will be paid every month for the army, but it will cost even more money." What you need is armor, food and grass, if you don’t have a place to live, it will be difficult to raise soldiers!”

After hearing Zhu Wei's words, Tai Shici explained to Zhu Wei. Of course, it was thanks to the Yellow Turban Uprising that ordinary people could recruit soldiers in private.

If it was during the normal rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how could it be possible for ordinary people to recruit and recruit soldiers in private? Wouldn't they want to rebel?

At most, some local gentry and tyrants trained farmers and servants on their own land as private soldiers to protect their homes, or clan soldiers composed of their own clansmen.

But this can't exist as a standing army, and it can't get what is said on the surface.

But at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court issued a decree to allow the localities to recruit soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban rebels. Therefore, the local gentry, powerful and other powerful families can blatantly raise private soldiers and become local emperors.

There are also local tyrants like Zhang Fei who have spent their family resources to help Liu Bei recruit soldiers and horses, build weapons and equipment, and try to use their military exploits to become officials.

But in general, it is indeed very expensive to recruit soldiers privately. If it were not for the nobles and powerful families who had their own territory to raise soldiers, figures like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei could only Just raise two or three hundred private soldiers to protect you.

At that time, Zhang Fei had spent all his wealth, so he helped Liu Bei recruit [-] soldiers and horses, which was barely enough for a song.

Therefore, it was only after Liu Bei took refuge in Gongsun Zan and became the county magistrate of Pingyuan and the prime minister of Pingyuan that he had his own territory to raise troops and build an army.

But in fact, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses belonged to Gongsun Zan at the time, so when Liu Bei lent Taishi Ci three thousand elite soldiers, he didn't care as much as if he were lending flowers to the Buddha. Instead, he could use the opportunity to make himself famous.

Later, when Liu Bei went to Xuzhou to support Tao Qian, Liu Bei's actual own strength was only a few thousand men, and the others were the Youzhou Wu Wan horsemen and thousands of hungry people on the road.

After that, Tao Qian gave Liu Bei four thousand soldiers and horses, and allowed Liu Bei to station troops in Xiaopei, which made Liu Bei gradually become a local warlord in Xuzhou.

Well, these have nothing to do with Zhu Wei for the time being, but it also shows that it is not easy for Zhu Wei to recruit soldiers by himself, and he must have a place to raise them.

Don't look at the hundreds of millions of copper coins in Zhu Wei's hands now, but he has to recruit troops, build weapons, equipment, purchase food and other logistics materials, and he will soon be able to spend them all.

Zhu Wei listened to Tai Shici's words and looked at Zhang Ying again. Zhang Ying also nodded to Zhu Wei. As a general in charge of an army, he naturally knew more about the cost of raising troops.

"Hiss... No matter what, let's wait until we cross the river and talk about it after we meet Liu Muzhou!"

Zhu Wei thought about it for a while and felt that his head was swollen, so he simply didn't think about him. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. It should be easier to ask Wang Yuyan to help think about it.

So after Zhu Wei blinked his eyes, he said to Zhang Ying again, "General Zhang, it seems that it will take some time for the Liyang Fire to extinguish, so we will leave first. General Zhang can also take a rest first and wait for the fire." After the destruction, we will sort out Liyang, but please also ask General Zhang to send some soldiers to accompany the guards and deliver orders to Dangli Ferry so that the people of Liyang can cross the river safely, and at the same time, let Dangli send some supplies to Liyang!"

"Okay, let's make arrangements!"

Zhang Ying turned his head to look at the fierce Liyang fire scene that was still burning, but he obeyed Zhu Wei's arrangement, and he was really at a loss at this time.

Everything happened so suddenly, Zhang Ying didn't know what to do from the moment she was defeated and fled to seeing Li Yang who had turned into a flaming mountain...
