Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Although Pojun is special, the current financial situation of Chu State is also very good. I believe 8000 people is not a problem."

Jiang Wan didn't answer Kou Feng's question immediately, but thought for a while before answering.

This is Jiang Wan's prudent performance.Kou Feng also knew that since Jiang Wan said it would be fine, it must be fine.

"Okay, I will issue an edict to expand the army after a while." Kou Feng smiled at Chen Da and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Da also showed some joy on his face when he heard the words, but then he said solemnly: "Actually, this time the last general came to see His Majesty. Apart from expanding the army, there are two other things, please allow Your Majesty."

"Say." Kou Feng immediately said without any hesitation about his confidant and beloved general.

"Historically, the casualties of the broken army were very high, not because they were not brave enough, but because they were unwilling to be restrained by armor, which led to their low defense. Now that the army has expanded to 8000 people, we have to add more to this. It is limited. Therefore, the final general needs [-] sets of armor. In addition, the final general also hopes that the expansion of the army can be selected from the current [-] troops in Chengdu. After all, the broken army is a bloody elite soldier, and ordinary strong men cannot be recruited into the army. "

Chen Da lowered his head and said sincerely.

Chen Da knew that his requirement of 7000 sets of armor was already too much, and it was even more too much to select [-] people from the [-] army to supplement the Po army.

Armor is very expensive. The raw material iron ore, the coal consumed, and the workload of the miners add up to a high-quality fine armor, which costs at least fifty gold.

Eight thousand sets of armor require an astonishing 40 gold.Although the territory of Chu State is very vast, the goods looted from various places over the years are very sufficient.

The population is large, and so are the taxes.I am afraid it is still more difficult.

In addition, it would be even more excessive to select elite soldiers from the army to supplement them.After all, every army has generals, and whether each general can make great achievements depends on the combat effectiveness of the army.

It was a relatively big blow to the general that the elite of the army were transferred away.It's no different from poaching someone's corner.That's why Da Chen lowered his head and spoke.

A little ashamed.

"hiss."

What Chen Da said made Kou Feng, Zhang Song, Fazheng, and Jiang Wan all gasp.Expansion of the broken army is a matter for the military.

But now Chen Da's conditions have expanded the matter to the military, and the finances are very huge.

armor.

At present, the Chu army does not have many armors, because the forging of the Chu army is mainly based on Chu knives.Kou Feng's army is constantly colliding, from tens of thousands in the past to hundreds of thousands now.

Kou Feng is still a little confused about the exact number of troops.Too much too much.Therefore, the production of Chu Dao has always been in full swing.

So far, Chu Dao has not been fully popularized. For example, most of Fazheng's troops still hold some traditional weapons.Therefore, in the Chu army, armor is very rare.

And the armor is also expensive.It needs to be strung together piece by piece of iron.

Eight thousand sets of armor.It will consume manpower and material resources with a total value of about 40 gold.How many troops can this equip?One hundred thousand troops are enough.

One hundred thousand troops wearing leather armor and holding ordinary weapons.

But then again.If [-] Pojun are as strong as cattle, wearing [-] sets of iron armor, holding Chu swords, and crossbows on their backs, they are simply a group of tanks.

Invincible, field combat capabilities may be much better than a hundred thousand troops.

Although Kou Feng felt sorry for Qian, he was still a little moved.The question now is whether the finances can come up with the money.Then, Fazheng and other generals were willing to donate their troops, and let Chen Da choose the strong ones.

"How does Xiao Zhi feel?" Kou Feng turned his head and asked Fa Zhengdao.

As the leader of the Central Committee, Fazheng is in charge of an army of [-] troops.If the army is selected from the army, he is the leader.

"Breaking the army is also a powerful weapon of the country. It must be investigated." Fazheng calmly said a word of politeness.The attitude is obvious, and he is willing to offer the elite to supplement the broken army.

"Okay." Kou Feng nodded happily when he heard the words, and then turned his head to Chen Da and said, "Xiaozhi has already agreed, and I will send someone to ask my uncle."

As he said that, Kou Feng shouted: "Come here, go and inform Zhang Fei, the rear general, that the army will select soldiers to join the Po army."

"No." A guard outside the door promised, and immediately set off for the outside of the city.

"Thank you, General Fa." Chen Da heard the words and clasped his fists gratefully towards Fazheng.

"Everyone is a lieutenant general, so there is no need to be so out of touch." Fazheng said with a gentle smile instead.

That smile was much, much gentler than when Kou Feng saw Fazheng.It can be seen that his heart has stabilized a lot.Kou Feng felt relieved when he saw this smile.Fazheng has a broad mind, which is good for longevity.

I am even more happy to see the harmony between the generals in the army.Fighting for world hegemony is not an easy task.If there is a disagreement between the general and the prime minister, it will be over.

"Let's wait for uncle to bring back the news. I will give the order to gather the army and select the Po army." Kou Feng nodded to Chen Da and said.

"Promise." Chen Daying promised, with a slightly excited expression on his face. With Kou Feng's approval, it became much easier to expand and break the army.

Although there is still a little difficulty, Da Chen is not worried at all.

Not long after, there was a burst of hearty laughter outside the hall.

"Hahaha, is it General Chen who wants to expand the army?" The laughter was very heroic, and before it fell, a strong and strong man walked in from the outside.

It was Kou Feng's rear general, Zhang Fei.

"General Zhang." Including Jiang Wan and others, everyone clasped their fists to salute Zhang Fei.

"Everyone." Zhang Fei clasped his fists in return.

"It's Po Jun who wants to expand." After greeting each other, Chen Da clasped his fists and replied.

"How does uncle feel?" Kou Feng asked with a smile.

"Of course, the broken army is the most important combat power of the Chu State. It can be expanded, which means that the Chu State is stronger. Of course, we must support it." Zhang Fei smiled without hesitation.

"Hahaha, good." Kou Feng laughed loudly. In other places and countries, generals regard soldiers as their own private property, and they are just tools for their own meritorious deeds. But in Chu State, the harmony between generals can make people The generals sacrifice their soldiers.This is really commendable.

"Fazheng, Zhang Fei, and Chen Da listen to the order." After the laughter stopped, Kou Biao looked solemn and ordered.

"The end is here." Chen Da and Fazheng got up and stood side by side with Zhang Fei, receiving orders.

"Order, the whole army must be assembled, and we must select the Po army." Kou Feng said.

"No." The three of them agreed and left immediately.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be a little difficult financially." Jiang Wan said after the three left.Unlike the slight hesitation just now, Jiang Wan at this moment is very dignified.

Obviously, 40 gold is not so easy to get out.

"The expansion of Pojun is decided, and the financial matters will be discussed after Gu returns." Kou Feng shook his head and said.

"Promise." In Chu State, Kou Feng's will is everything, Jiang Wan opened his mouth to say something, but finally agreed.

40 gold, although it is indeed heavy, but it may not be impossible.

Soon, Jiang Wan began to think of a way, how to get out the 40 gold.

Kou Feng was waiting.Waiting for Zhang Fei, Fazheng, and Chen Da to assemble the army.Eight thousand armored soldiers, I really hope to see it sooner.

Kou Feng's eyes were sharp and full of excitement.

For a long time, Kou Feng has been full of envy for Cao Cao's large-scale tiger and leopard cavalry.But now the state of Chu is already superior to the state of Wei in terms of national power and power.

It's such a shame that it still doesn't have its own ace army.If the eight thousand broken army is successfully established, it is also a symbol of strength.

Chu State, no matter where it is from, can sit on an equal footing with Wei State.When will a war of [-] to [-] be fought, and the prestige of Chu State will be forged.

Kou Feng felt his body trembling slightly, he was still a fighting maniac in his bones.

In an open space [-] li away from the north of the city, a point-general platform was temporarily erected. The platform was made of wood and was ten feet high.Can observe the surroundings very well.

On the general stage, there is also a handsome flag with the word "Chu" standing upright, fluttering in the wind.

Other than that, there are no buildings around.

At this moment, standing on the general stage were the three highest-ranking generals of Chu State in Chengdu, the leader Fa Zheng, the rear general Zhang Fei, and today's protagonist, the town general Chen Da.

"The broken army is the most elite army of the Chu army. It is brave and good at fighting. In the past, even if you lose one, you have to choose thousands of options to choose a replacement. Now that the expansion to [-] will definitely cause a decline in combat effectiveness, I don't know. How does General Chen plan to select?"

Fazheng stood in the middle, raised his eyes to look into the distance, then turned his head and smiled at Chen Da.

"I plan to learn the method of the famous general Wu Qi during the Warring States period. He who can run a hundred miles in half a day with armor on his back and three days of dry food can enter the Po army." Chen Da already had a detailed plan in his heart, so he could not As he was asking, he immediately answered.

Chen Da is not very literate, but he is brave after knowing his shame.

Wu Qi was a general of the Wei state in the early Warring States period, and he was ranked alongside his grandson.He wrote Wu Qi's Art of War.The Wei soldiers under his account were the most powerful army in the early Warring States period.

Almost the best in the world.

Chen Da often asked people to read some books to him, such as Chunqiu Zuozhuan, biographies and so on.So I know this allusion deeply.Therefore, I want to use the method of Wu Qi to select Wei Wuzu to select Pojun first.

Then train with the training method of breaking the army.In this way, after the foundation is established, even if it expands to 8000 people, the broken army will be able to recover to the top combat effectiveness after a period of time.

One against ten.

With 8000 people, even in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, they are still not afraid.

"Good way." Before Fazheng could speak, Zhang Fei applauded.

"It's really a good idea. Our Chu army is stronger." Fazheng also laughed.

"It's all sages with extraordinary talents." Chen Dawen said modestly, but it was just a solution thought up by the sages, and he dared not take credit for it.
