Chapter 810
The various troops distributed across the Empire each had their unique characteristics. The soldiers from Liangzhou were the strongest in combat and had incomprehensibly high-quality personnel; those from Yangzhou came from the land of fish and rice and were all plump and particularly adept at naval warfare; the troops from Xuzhou were skilled in defending cities, often dealing with pirates, which also made them valiant and fearless.
As for the Imperial Guards of Jingzhou... being under the Emperor's very nose, they naturally received the top priority in food and weaponry allocations, and their equipment was of the finest quality. The common soldiers mostly came from backgrounds of hardship, but the middle-ranking officers were often plants from various noble families and clans. They were accustomed to living a life of luxury and would consider it absurd to recklessly throw their lives away in battle.
