When the first batch of exchanged captives, dressed in rags, appeared at the two ends of Yaoyi City, they still looked at the flags on the opposite side of the city with some caution and coveted each other, and then the approaching crowd walked faster and faster.

The moment they staggered past each other, an uproar dispersed. Then, in a sluggish and numb expression that turned to disbelief, he was ushered into the south gate of the round wall city with a howl of tears.

Behind the city walls, dry blankets and boiled porridge awaited them in neat rows of tents.

Although they quickly broke up and were divided into dozens of teams, under the greetings of various familiar accents, they were all so orderly and reassuring. After a short period of food and warmth, they were examined one by one and cleaned up their personal hygiene, and then inadvertently asked about their situation before they were captured and what happened to them later.

Of course, this will also be a process of careful identification of identity, after all, the specific differences between southerners and northerners in daily cognition and physical details caused by daily habits can still be used as some kind of comparative parameters, but it is not easy to fake.

"One thousand one hundred and twenty-seven."

Yao Zhongping, the Marquis of Yu, stood beside me and whispered.

"More than half of them can hold movable weapons......"

Although many people have yellow muscles and frostbite, their body parts are generally intact, their hands and feet are complete, and it is preliminarily judged that they can recover with a little cultivation and eating.

Because this is the first exchange, for some kind of follow-up credit considerations, it still looks like that, there are no discounts and moisture, maybe the next time it will not be so easy.

It's just that according to Yao Zhongping's report, most of them were caught off guard by a counterattack during the siege, and the captured officers and soldiers of the Central Route Army accounted for only a small part of the Eastern Front, probably only more than 100 people.

Among them, the military horn and seniority order are also very scattered, involving almost a dozen troops, there are no senior officers, even middle and lower-level military attaches are very few, and the general military rank is not high.

I think it was also regarded as a strange commodity by the Northern Dynasty, and it was extra detained in his hands, and he was used as a bargaining chip.

Therefore, I am only wary of apostasy that may be individual or small. It's just that from the other side, as an individual soldier's apostasy, it is not helpful to the overall situation, not to mention that after they return to their own camp, the corresponding threats and the cost of remote control means are somewhat more than worth the loss......

And this is also a good thing for some of my selfishness, which is easier to brainwash and absorb than soldiers with simple ideas and limited requirements, compared to officers with complex positions and backgrounds, and often have personal demands.

This is my experience after annexing many friendly forces for a long time, and as for the problem of talent reserves, I have my own self-contained system, the army's internal training system, although the cycle is a bit long and a bit cumbersome, but it is enough to transform and shape them into the force I need.

And a similar scene also happened at the foot of the court steps of Taoguang Garden at the northern end of Ouchi, and Lingbao Gong was almost full of reserve, accepting the cheers of these people who had survived the catastrophe.

Although many people still have bread and nests in their hands to eat, they shout and do not forget to swallow two bites. All in all, it still seems to be so full of some sincerity and enthusiasm.

Originally, with his identity, he categorically couldn't use such superficial means of city favor, but he couldn't bear to be stronger than others. He sighed slightly, waved them away, and let them disperse.

"At least tomorrow, tomorrow will start ......"

Turning around, he ordered beside him

"I want to see them in full formation, standing in front of me......"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a little reluctant......"

A close minister reluctantly said to him

"It's okay to have all the armor, but it just needs to be rearranged......"

"I'm not demanding,"

Lingbao Gong turned his head and saw him gasp for a while

"As long as they look neatly organized, like that......"

"Got it......"

"Do your best ...... in the future"

The minister hurriedly responded.

"It's not about trying, I want you to do your best......"

"Yes......"

"List of captured generals,"

Immediately, Lingbao Gong turned to the other side and opened his voice

"And the number of the next batch of replacements, are they ready ......?"

"Inventory and mobilization are being intensified......"

Another official hurriedly responded.

"Results ...... right away"

It was because of slackness and incompetence that his predecessor disappeared, which gave him the opportunity to replace his subordinates, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Don't rush ...... for now"

This time, Lingbao Gong became very good at talking

"It's good to act slowly and calmly according to the rules......"

And for Lingbao Gong, in addition to this batch of ready-made, in fact, there are not so many prisoners under his control.

Because when Ouchi launched a full-scale counterattack, the soldiers of the Northern Army, who had already held back their anger and grudges, had almost no room to spare.

Therefore, the captures that were finally accepted by the Ouchi side were actually disproportionate to the number of enemies killed and beheaded, and it was not easy to make up this batch.

Therefore, most of the figures that were reported to the other party through the previous negotiations were roughly estimated, and most of them were in the south of the city, under the supervision of Zhang Shuye, who outflanked and annihilated the Middle Route Army, and it was not so easy to dispatch for a while.

Anyway, this is just the need to delay time and build momentum, he comforted himself, as long as Zhang Shuye's army arrived, he could double the price and get back from those southern barbarians on the other side.

When the time comes, he hopes to strip off these caught guys and put them in the ice and snow to parade the streets, so that these barbarians, regardless of cold and heat, can experience the enthusiasm and cruelty of the northland winter.

In another part of the city of Los Angeles,

Uncle Zhang, who was tired and covered with dust, mud and snow powder, also stepped on the embankment north of Luoshui.

In order to be able to rush back in time, he can be said to spare no effort to drive and spur these soldiers who have not had much leisure to rest after the great war and the elimination of the enemy, except for those who are already in control

He had secretly repaired the previously burned Zhongtianjin Bridge, and used the ruins and camps stacked at the bridgehead as an eyeliner to deceive the enemy troops that might be scattered in Beicheng.

Therefore, he personally led the vanguard responsible for outflanking the rear route, and was able to return to Beiguo far earlier than he had expected Ouchi.

It's just that the news he got is not good, the enemy army that suddenly appeared and was entrenched in the north of the city actually hit the round wall, which added many variables and accidents to his plan of outflanking and closing.

You must know that there is a wide gate in the round wall, which can lead directly to the outside of the city, and if his troops cannot outflank it in time, the storage of this gate alone will be enough for the enemy army who finds that they are not doing the right thing to take the opportunity to run away a considerable part.

It is likely that the overall plan to encircle and annihilate the enemy will also turn into an imperfect assault and defeat battle.

For this known as the "invincible" new army of the Southern Dynasties, he did not dare to take it lightly, you know, this force was quite difficult before, all the way behind his Hebei reinforcements, like a lone wolf no matter how to get rid of it, but because of the light enemy and slackness suffered a lot of losses, was knocked out of many broken troops.

Therefore, he did not mind at all coping with the worst-case scenario and the most cautious attitude. At this time, he was again confronted by a messenger sent to Ouchi.

"Prisoner exchange? ……”

Uncle Zhang was stunned by the news.

"Why exchange prisoners......

"It is said to be the generalissimo's ...... of the Generalissimo's Palace"

The messenger of the return

"To boost the morale of the army......"

"How can this be?"

Years of experience in the military made him instinctively aware that something was wrong

"How could the enemy suddenly get along so well......

"If you don't come early, if you don't come late, you suddenly remember that you want to change prisoners......"

"I'm afraid that there is a plan, and the plan is not small......"

"Is it within the Generalissimo's Palace,"

He rode on his horse and ran non-stop, but he couldn't help but complain,

"There is no one to advise and advise, and we must guard against deception......

"Although these enemy forces are only a corner, they are cunning and changeable, and they cannot be trusted......"

Then from the embarrassed or bright expressions on the left and right, he realized that he had made some gaffes, and he was openly questioning the decision of the Generalissimo's Mansion.

But it's no wonder that since the generalissimo's mansion was in charge, those experienced old ministers and generals have been sent out by him with excuses, and the rest of them are either obedient cronies or wise people who only promise their lives.

Therefore, the one who has no control in the Generalissimo's Mansion has made some mistakes, and if he continues to insist on his opinion, there is really no one to dissuade Leo now.

In addition, on the day of the counterattack, most of the fierce warriors who still had the strength to survive were taken out of the imperial city. In addition to arming the eastern front, the rest of these horses followed Uncle Zhang to fight in the south of the city at night.

Therefore, those who remained in Ouchi were some second-line troops with large damage, as well as a small number of forbidden camps, which may be more than enough to be used for strangulation, but if you want to attack and fight hard, you will have some stamina.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he made such a choice.

Thinking of all this, Uncle Zhang immediately said

"Quick, the troops are like fire, follow me to Beiguo ......"

"All the troops put aside the baggage and burdens and leave them to the rear team to clean up ......"

"You have to reach the city wall of Beiguo as quickly as possible......"

"Don't go to Ouchi? ……”

One of the commanders beside him hesitated.

"Don't go, take back the Hui'an Gate closest to Ouchi first......

Zhang Shuye answered categorically.

"After the third wave of people crosses over, let them go to Ouchi ......"

They sped through the cleared streets, rushing through the ruins and ruins of one neighborhood after another, but this time, there was no one who could organize and hinder them.

Therefore, it only took more than an hour to see the outline of the city wall in the distance, which was already in sight, and Zhang Shuye began to order to slow down the pace and gather the troops who had been scattered and scattered, and suddenly heard the soldiers behind him shouting in an uproar.
