Please read what I am actually saying...Peter. 8-)
Not the just army, but the army, the baggage train, the supply lines in Persia, Anatolia, Syria, the guardsa and garrisons at the key points.
From one end of the empire to the tip of the front line troops.
But I think there were a lot of toops in this whole shebang, and as they had plenty of time to hear about the army coming, all the figures could well have been added up to give inflated figures for one small part of the whole operation. It was a punitive expedition, and was a show of force not only to the Greeks, but to the whole empire.
I don't think I actually said there were 1 million troops.
You don't think I realise how much 3 million litres is...ok, I work in the oil industry.
Please do insult me some more, you are very good at it!
