I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51 Army Expansion
“Which comes first, south or north, that is the question.”

early morning.

After completing the event tasks and currently being "stuck on the main line", Su Yao, who has been relatively peaceful for a while, can't help but think about where to start taking the initiative.

The so-called north refers to the Huns outside the Luliang Mountains in the northwest of Taiyuan, and the south is naturally the Baibo Army occupying the border between Hedong and Taiyuan in the southwest of Taiyuan.

But judging from the current size of his army of nearly 300 people, he can't push either side of the two sides, which requires him to think about a detailed strategy.

Wait, nearly 300 troops?

Yes, during the period of rest and recuperation after the war, Su Yao's troop size was greatly expanded.

From a measly ten cavalrymen who were not satisfied with the establishment of a tun, it expanded to a seriously overstaffed number of nearly three hundred.

This is where victory on the battlefield brings huge benefits.

The first is Lao Li Zheng of the Wang family.

After learning that Su Yao had won an astonishing victory, Wang Yun's relatives immediately cheered up, mobilized the entire clan, and gathered 200 strong men from here and there in Qi County:
"My benefactor has made extraordinary achievements this time. He will be granted the title of general and marquis just around the corner. How can he serve the people if he has no soldiers?"

These are the soldiers of the Ding family of our royal family that I specially mobilized. They are grateful for their kindness and have come to serve as part of the general's corps. "

Become a marquis?

Su Yao just listened to the polite words from NPCs.

After all, in the True Three Worlds, when you reach the level of worshiping generals and becoming lords, the game process is approaching the middle and late stages.

He had just started playing, and he had already completed a wave of novice tasks and activities. How could it be so fast?

But thinking about it, of course he decisively accepted the mission reward that came to his door.

How did he know that for the Wang family of Qi County, which is located in the border county of Taiyuan, they are not comparable to those big families in the Central Plains. This time they are facing another disaster, and mobilizing more than a hundred people to join the army is the limit of the limit.

Therefore, after sending the soldiers, the old village chief once again mentioned to Su Yao that he was not young and it was time to start a family and start a business.

Su Yao's reply was only one sentence
"How can we have a family before the Huns are destroyed?"

This famous saying that everyone knows and knows made the old man of the Wang family speechless. After a pause, he thought of another way.

"In that case, before my benefactor gets married, let Hong'er bring a few slaves over to serve him. We can't lose our identity."

Su Yao would not refuse this matter, but he was confused
"But I don't have a home, where can I find a place to stay?"

Yes, in the True Three Worlds, whether you are getting married or taking concubines and maids, you must first have a house.

Those operations can only be performed if the home system is unlocked after purchasing the home.

Purchasing a mansion is a big expense. In addition to the one-time cost, there are also regular maintenance fees. The servants and maids in the mansion have to spend money to maintain them.

Although Su Yao has made a lot of money through seizures, it costs a lot of money to recruit and raise soldiers, not to mention other special NPCs that will be recruited in the future.

He doesn't want to waste money on his home and slaves. After all, the Three Worlds is a so-called 12+ game, and it can't be boring. It's really unnecessary.

Su Yao had already decided to spend every penny on improving his strength.

"There is no need to worry too much about this."

The old man is stroking his beard
"You are the eternal nobleman of our Qixian Wang family, and the door of our family will always be open to you..."

"What? Not only will you give me a house in Wubao, but you won't have to pay for any slaves or anything else?"

Su Yao was shocked. Is there such a good thing?

Could it be that this hidden mission has an SSS rating?
So many functions were unlocked at once.

Su Yao was shocked, but the head of the Wang family quietly rolled his eyes, unable to understand the values ​​of this outrageous young man.

Obviously the two hundred soldiers he hired were the most valuable, but Su Yao accepted it without blinking, as if it was a matter of course.

But now it was just a matter of carving out a house and allocating a few maids to help. The Wang family basically didn't pay anything, but Su Yao was ecstatic, as if he had gotten a huge advantage.

It's really strange.

Leaving aside the subsequent exchanges between the two that were not on the same line as always.

Su Yao successfully gained 200 recruits from the old village chief and expanded his strength. He also unlocked the home system and got a new home and three maids including Hong'er.

Then, through Jin Fangyan, he successfully recruited 63 prisoners and obtained a team of capable Hun cavalry archers.

Finally, there is the local dispatch under the Han Army system on Zhang Yang's side.

With the two ten-man teams of Song Xian and Hou Cheng, plus the existing Cheng Lian Department, his elite Han army in Bingzhou also expanded to 24 people.

This force of 287 people is the entire armed force at Su Yao's disposal now.

The team has expanded, but the eliteness of his troops has changed from an elite force with three gold stars to an ordinary team with one star. This is all because...

"Look to the right—"

Following Cheng Lian's slogan, the soldiers moved chaotically, and nearly half of them didn't know who was left or right!
If you can't do this well, let alone beat the drum and you will advance, ring the gold and you will retreat, etc.

These people go to the battlefield, and once they engage the enemy, they are thankful to be able to hold their weapons in place and not poke their teammates.

Su Yao looked up at the sky, knowing that these were peasant soldiers with zero experience. It would probably take quite some time for them to form a fighting force.

Fortunately, he doesn't need these people to be able to fight a lot, stand neatly, have a good posture, look like an elite force, and be able to bluff people.

It's better to leave things like killing and charging to yourself and the elite cavalry troops.

Therefore, after he discovered this problem, he immediately tried to intervene, trying to learn and apply the sins he had suffered in the previous military training, and became addicted to the instructor.

Although there is no guarantee of combat effectiveness, when it comes to military posture, he guarantees that no NPC in the world can teach him better than him.

So Su Yao set the position of these 200 farmers and soldiers. Just ensure that they can go out without collapse, fight a smooth battle, help collect the heads, and pick up the slack.

Of course, the most important thing is that these people have improved the load-carrying capacity of Su Yao's entire army and can haul more cargo!

Yes, bearing weight is the most important thing for him.

After all, the capture of large-scale battles cannot all depend on Shangguan's whim.

According to Han law, although the loot belongs to whoever grabs it, people cannot occupy the latrine without defecating, and anything that cannot be taken away must be handed over to the public.

For soldiers, it is normal for soldiers to have bulging bags after a battle, but for generals, their plunder and gains all depend on the load of their troops.

In addition to having the right of first choice, what you can take away is yours.

Therefore, after the last battle, Su Yao found that he had suffered a hidden loss, and most of his gains were recovered by the system.

【Your backpack is full】

[The team’s limit load has been exceeded]

[Please expand your warehouse space]

【.】

After the war, these system prompts were annoying. After that, when Su Yao discovered that his new home had expanded his inventory capacity, it was understandable that he was overjoyed.

Fortunately, although a considerable part of the harvest could not be taken away in the end, he fought hard for military supplies, including horses, and obtained most of the proceeds from the sale...

Yes, sell!
Take the most precious horse as an example, because he has neither a horse farm nor a groom, and does not have the conditions to raise horses. If he keeps it forcibly, the final result will be a large loss of non-combat horses.

And it is impossible for a village leader to retain more than a thousand war horses with a maximum staffing configuration of 50 people.

So in the end, except for the 300 horses that Zhang Yang reserved for him, all the rest were recycled by the governor's office at a discount.

"Don't worry, dear brother, I will let the stables feed these horses well. If there are more knights under my command in the future, they will definitely be allocated to you first."

Therefore, the 300 horses that have been retained are only possible thanks to Su Yao's increase in the size of the army.

However, with only less than 300 soldiers, it is obviously very difficult for both the Baibo Army in the south, which claims to have soldiers, and the Huns in the north, who also claim to have soldiers.

Recruiting troops takes time, and training troops takes even more time, but will time be on Su Yao's side?

"Captain Su, we have received the order from the governor. The entire army will be temporarily stationed in Jinyang within a time limit. Zhang is working on your troops to prepare as soon as possible and break camp tomorrow."
