Capítulo 1029: Chapter 423 Disarmament, Circle

After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan eventually decided to conduct a round of expansion recruitment from among that group of civilian workers.

He would select the elite, train another contingent of soldiers, and supplement the local prefectural and county soldiers as well as various military expedition camps' troop deficiencies.

Yes, the scale of this recruitment was not just limited to three hundred thirty thousand prefectural and county soldiers.

He planned to further expand the recruitment, train an additional two million plus men, and after supplementing the local forces, inflate the Northern Expedition army to a strength of eight million strong.

Indeed, at a time when Chu State's logistical pressures were severe and supplies were getting increasingly difficult, Lu Yuan did not consider reducing the scale of the war but planned to continue recruiting troops instead.

It wasn't that he had lost his mind or become a war maniac.
