Seeing as one can hire guards for PC bases as 'Skilled Hirelings', can I take several veterans with me if I pay them enough?

I am a wizard with low HP, so any guards would be great.

Yes, if your DM permits it.

Skilled hirelings can be any skilled service providers.

Skilled hirelings include anyone hired to perform a service that
involves a proficiency (including weapon, tool, or skill): a
mercenary, artisan, scribe, and so on.

For example Veteran (MM 350):

Veterans are professional fighters that take up arms for pay or to
protect something they believe in or value. Their ranks include
soldiers retired from long service and warriors who never served anyone
but themselves.

But always consider that the Services-Table on page 159 of the PHB shows the minimum wage and that hiring Veterans may be considerably more expensive or otherwise challenging.

The pay shown is a minimum; some expert hirelings require more pay.

Your DM will tell you who or what is available or unavailable in their world.

  @EvokerofMulmaster if there are a thousand soldiers for hire and their wage allows that. At least is a stretch, because maybe there won't be as many people available or your DM won't let you do it for some reason.

  @fabian is right. To quit steady job as, say, castle guard for just a day of employment wouldn't usually be wise so DM might well say no one is willing to do so, unless you pay hundreds times more than their usual wage.
