"Naturally, we know this, and my father-in-law is also prepared accordingly. So how do you want to settle my lord, please also ask His Royal Highness King Tang to make it clear. Don't play these dumb riddles here. After all, the soldiers on the front line are still fighting with their lives, constantly bleeding and sacrificing. Maybe if we delay here for a second longer, an innocent soldier will fall on the front line, according to legend, His Royal Highness the Tang King has always loved soldiers like sons, it must be inappropriate to do such a thing. After listening to Li Wenyuan's words, the envoy said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, that's what you want. After our discussions, it was finally decided to follow Liu Wuzhou's official position during the period of Emperor Wu of Sui in the Great Sui. Floating adoption. You can enter the new division as a regiment commander, and after you have corresponding combat exploits in the future, you will continue to be promoted. Go back and tell your lord that he can rest assured that since he has joined my army, as long as he abides by the military laws I have set, he will never be subjected to some restraint on promotion because he is our former enemy. After listening to the envoy's words, Li Wenyuan nodded and said.

"Although the soldiers and horses under the command of my lord are not as many as those of Master Liang, there are at least more than 100,000 people. If we don't count these people, we can also make up more than 10,000 people just by talking about elite soldiers. How is it that after arriving here, His Royal Highness the Tang King, my lord can only command 500 people? That doesn't seem reasonable. The envoy said with a frown after hearing Li Wenyuan's words.

"Then please." After listening to the envoy's words, Li Wenyuan stood up, stretched out his hand and raised it to the door, signaling that he could go out. "If you can't accept this condition, or if your father-in-law Liu Wuzhou can't accept this condition, then we can go back to the battlefield and fight again. But don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, if your father-in-law Liu Wuzhou is captured by us at that time, he won't even be able to be the head of this regiment. I also know that you can't do these things alone, so I'll give you half a month to discuss it with your father-in-law. Half a month later, you will come here to me again with your answers. Li Wenyuan said to the envoy in front of him.

Seeing that Li Wenyuan did not have the slightest intention of making concessions, the envoy also knew that this should be Li Wenyuan's final offer. But this offer is really far from what Liu Wuzhou explained to him, and even far below the bottom line. So he could only bow to Li Wenyuan helplessly and returned to the post house where he lived. He informed Liu Wuzhou of the information he had talked about after meeting Li Wenyuan. Then he waited here for the news that Liu Wuzhou passed back, or waited for Liu Wuzhou's new order.

Liu Wuzhou was also silent after receiving this news, and he couldn't quite accept the fact that he was demoted from an emperor commanding 100,000 people to the head of a regiment commanding 500 people. But now the situation is stronger than people, and Zhuang Fudi's army is pressing, and he does not have much advantage in terms of numbers, let alone in the quality of the army. When others were still using traditional cold weapons to fight each other with bayonets, Li Wenyuan had already skipped this stage and directly opened the era of firearms. The combination of muskets and artillery is enough to crush any force in the Central Plains that is now in a state of melee. Anyway, Liu Wuzhou asked himself, it was difficult for his army to resist the attack of the Western Regions Army. I had no choice but to grit my teeth, thinking that if I command five hundred people, I will also command five hundred. It's better than losing all your life after defeat. After making up his mind, he didn't inform anyone, and sent a message directly to the envoy.

The envoy was also incredulous after receiving Liu Wuzhou's news, and after repeatedly confirming that the letter was indeed from Liu Wuzhou, he brought this letter written by Liu Wuzhou to meet Li Wenyuan. Li Wenyuan was also very comfortable after receiving this news, and immediately arranged for people to start receiving Liu Wuzhou's forces step by step in accordance with the plan formulated in advance.

I have to say that Liu Wuzhou, with the help of the Turks and the capital he has accumulated over the years, has managed his territory well. At least compared to Liang Shidu, the war potential is much greater, and the quality of the soldiers in the army under Liu Wuzhou is much higher than that of Liang Shidu. Even if the people sent by Li Wenyuan were selected according to the strictest conscription standards, more than 30,000 people from the 100,000 troops were still selected to remain in the army.

Of course, these more than 30,000 people subjectively chose to stay in the army, so they participated in such a selection. As for the other people who did not want to stay in the army, Li Wenyuan also gave them enough entanglements, and also arranged for corresponding people to escort them as much as possible, so that everyone who walked out of the army could return to their homes safely. In Li Wenyuan's words, since these people did not die on the battlefield, it means that they should not end their lives here. So I should do my best to reunite these people with their families.

Among the old ministries left by Liu Wuzhou. There are also many who are tired of military life and, like the soldiers, rush back to their hometowns to reunite with their loved ones. However, there are still many people who are attracted by the preferential treatment in the Western Regions Army and choose to stay in the army. Among these people, there are people with good talent and qualifications, but the various tactics of the Western Regions Army are unheard of and unseen by them. Therefore, no matter how good the quality of jade is, as long as it has not been polished, it is a stubborn stone and has no value, so these people are sent to military schools in various regions to participate in the corresponding intensive learning. Only after they thoroughly understand and master the various tactics of the Western Regions Army can they return to the army to lead the army and fight on the battlefield.

After dealing with the matters related to the reception of Liu Wuzhou's forces, Li Wenyuan originally thought that after dealing with Luo Yi entrenched in Youzhou to the east, he would be able to completely isolate the Central Plains from the grassland. In this way, Li Wenyuan could take the opportunity of selling Hu soldiers to monopolize the trade in the entire Central Plains, and at the same time, he could also control the scale of those forces in the Central Plains as much as he wanted.

But trouble always came unexpectedly, after Li Wenyuan had dealt with Liu Wuzhou and received all of Liu Wuzhou's territory. Only then did he realize that he had officially bordered the Goguryeo people.
