"How many new recruits do you need for reinforcements?" Ying Zheng asked. "I can issue a decree to the Shaofu to provide as much as possible for your camp's initial establishment."
"There are still over 200,000 integrated surrendered soldiers from Zhao in the Penal Battalion. I don't need new recruits; I will use the Penal Battalion as its foundation," Zhao Feng said. "Zhao has perished, so these surrendered soldiers are like trees without roots. Just like the surrendered soldiers from Han, they can all be put to use by Qin. As long as we subdue them, their combat strength will be greater than that of new recruits. They only require a little training."
"Over 200,000 surrendered soldiers... can your sixty thousand-plus Sharp Warriors control them?" Ying Zheng said gravely. "Although the strategy of using a Penal Battalion is feasible, a mutiny would be a disaster." With this, Ying Zheng still showed his concern.
