"Change prisoners of war?" After Li Wei'er listened, sure enough, Shui Lingling's big eyes widened, but then she regained her composure, her eyes flashed and looked at Leng Zhuo, this guy is really not a loser.

"You think it's beautiful, my hundreds of thousands of Tang Jun are not your prisoners!"

Leng Zhuo's originally smiling face sank when he heard Li Wei'er's words: "Then let's change the word, just buy the road money, but exchange the gold coins for the prisoners of war captured by you!"

"Hmph, it's a good calculation, so what price are you going to offer!"

"500,000 prisoners of war, change the road!" Leng Zhuo said directly.

Li Wei'er obviously had a much stronger heart endurance, a pair of beautiful eyes swept over Leng Zhuo's body, and said coldly: "No!"

Leng Zhuo sighed, leaned back in his chair, looked at Li Wei'er, and suddenly laughed, and said: "That's not negotiable! Then forget it, anyway, this deal is more, and there is no big loss if it is less! Oh, no more nonsense, tomorrow morning, all the 10,000 Tang troops besieged on the Poyang coast will be killed!"

"Are you a threat? Are you sure?" Li Wei'er narrowed her eyes into a slit, looked at Leng Zhuo who stood up, and said with a light smile.

Leng Zhuo snorted and said, "I think it's you who want to threaten, not me, since I know that you are the assassin, do you think I will be unprepared, you are very strong, but you are stronger than the Holy Spirit powerhouse, and at this time, Xun'er should be in the Soldier and Horse Embassy, if you dare to act rashly, try it!"

Li Wei'er listened, she couldn't help but press the back of the chair, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes, she couldn't tell if what Leng Zhuo said was true or not, but Xun'er was picked up, but it was a ** thing: "You are so despicable, you actually held Xun'er hostage, and she still thinks about your good!"

Seeing that Li Wei'er was in chaos, Leng Zhuo continued: "I didn't hold anyone hostage, I just invited Xun'er to sit down!"

"There are really no 500,000 prisoners of war! Where will I go to get you headed!" Li Weier gritted her teeth. Originally, I wanted to seize Leng Zhuo's mind and move back to a passive situation. I didn't expect this guy to be so shameless.

Leng Zhuo saw that Li Wei'er was relieved. But he smiled and sat back in his chair. "Okay. And how many prisoners of war do you have!"

"I don't know the exact amount, but it's only 400,000, and don't you think your asking price is too high!"

"I don't think so, but if you want to say so, then let's count it sincerely, let's talk about your Tang Army soldiers first, as far as I know, every Tang Army soldier is selected from a thousand, and he has been training since he was four or five years old. Battle formations and so on, each of them has gone through more than ten years of tempering before becoming a soldier, and you are constantly instilling the belief in the revival of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that every soldier is the most determined guardian of the Tang Dynasty, I am right!"

"That's right!" Li Weier puffed up her chest proudly.

"Training such a soldier, not to mention the cost, it takes more than fifteen or six years just to take time, and most of the soldiers of the empire are recruited from civilians, and they are all adults after enlistment, and after two or three years of training, even if they become an army, four or five of these soldiers are not worth a Tang Army soldier, I say that you have no opinion!"

Li Wei'er nodded, but she was very keenly aware of Leng Zhuo's language trap: "You are confusing the concept, although the imperial soldiers have not been trained for many years, many of them have been on the battlefield for a long time, but they are not comparable to recruits, although they are not comparable to my Tang warriors in many aspects!"

"Okay, let's not exchange one for four or five, one for three! In my eyes, only three imperial soldiers can top one Tang Army soldier, and on the battlefield, it is almost the same, in the face of ten thousand Tang troops, without twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, there is almost no chance of winning!" Leng Zhuo seemed to take a big step and said.

"If it is the main force of the Tang Army in Zhongzhou, I accept this exchange ratio, but you also know that in the Tang Army of the Southern Expedition, there are many auxiliary soldiers, and there are even many Chuzhou surrendered troops, this part can't use this ratio!"

"This is natural, the auxiliary soldiers who went south in Zhongzhou are one to two, and as for those who surrendered, they are one to one!"

"Yes!" Li Weier thought for a while, nodded and agreed, in fact, in the current Tang Army, the soldiers and horses thrown by the empire are not small, many have become part of the Tang Army, and the Tang Dynasty also needs these troops to be used as auxiliaries or even cannon fodder.

"Ordinary soldiers exchange like this, we have no problem, then let's talk about the problem of the general!" Leng Zhuo was like a businessman, and began to bargain, and this was obviously a case that had been done before he came, as long as Li Weier was willing to talk, then he was not afraid that she would not be tricked.

This negotiation lasted from dusk until midnight before a preliminary charter was finally settled: "It seems that as long as there is sincerity, we can also negotiate very well, if there is no problem, we will officially sign the contract tomorrow!"

Li Wei'er was also a little tired, obviously in this kind of calculation, Li Wei'er suffered a lot of losses, Leng Zhuo came prepared, although Li Wei'er was shrewd, but she was still a little dizzy by Leng Zhuo's complicated change.

On this agreement, there is no specific number, but there is a detailed set of exchange ratios, from a lieutenant to a lieutenant are marked with a price code, and the most hateful thing is that this guy actually doesn't want those captured senior generals, not even the battalion lieutenant level, and she can only grit her teeth and secretly scold this guy for being cunning!

"Now that we have reached an agreement, then the war in Xiaoxiang Mansion should not be stopped, and my sister ......!"

Leng Zhuo nodded in a good mood and said: "This is natural, but should Her Royal Highness the princess also write a letter to the past, after all, the truce is not a matter on our side, as for Xun'er, I will not embarrass her, if she wants to come back, she can naturally come back at any time!"

Leng Zhuo left the teahouse, and this three-story century-old brand, the West Lake Teahouse, is also destined to be recorded in history, when the Chuzhou soldiers and horses Leng Zhuo and the Tang Dynasty princess Li Weier reached the most far-reaching exchange agreement between Zhongzhou and Chuzhou.

Through this agreement, in addition to exchanging nearly 400,000 imperial soldiers, Leng Zhuo also obtained 100,000 Tang Army's armor, weapons, and nearly half of the Warcraft mounts, while the Tang Dynasty exchanged for Fu Yu, the general of Zhichong Zhonglang, who was captured during the Xiangyang Rebellion, and 2,000 subordinates, as well as nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Violent Bear Zhichong Mansion.

The two sides took what they needed, and the way of the transaction, on the scale of 10,000 people, was transported by ship, and the whole exchange process lasted for three months, so it can be said that this exchange greatly affected the situation and made the Tang army focus on Qingzhou in the east.

In the north of Xiangyang City, from the ferry port on the north bank to Xiangyang City for more than 30 miles, the left and right sides are filled with huge camps, and the soldiers who have been exchanged from Zhongzhou in the north will be registered here, and the rebuilding system will be broken up and rebuilt, and a team of 100 people will be organized to organize it.

In addition, camped in the north of Xiangyang, and because these prisoners of war who refused to surrender to the Tang army were all used as slaves in Zhongzhou, they did not eat much every day, and they had to do heavy physical labor.

In these three months, Chuzhou's military system is also undergoing major changes, the Suzaku Army added a new division, the full formation of eight divisions, with a total strength of 200,000, is the most elite force in Chuzhou, the Suzaku Army in the completion of the Xiaoxiang Mansion Tang Army exchange, gradually moved to the Xiangshui River, in preparation for the westward crossing of Xiyanfu.

At the same time, a larger-scale reorganization is also being prepared, and within the three major legions, they began to disband the temporary patchwork of the noble nursing homes, enshrine them, and disband the young and strong, and at the same time conduct a three-month special training and assessment of the soldiers under their jurisdiction, and eliminate some unqualified soldiers.

After all, Chuzhou has been fighting for more than two years, and the place is erosive, and more labor is needed to restore the place, and after obtaining more than 400,000 soldiers and horses from Zhongzhou, Leng Zhuo does not need these patchwork soldiers and horses.

The Xiangyang Legion, also including the Eight Master Regiments, with a total strength of 180,000, after the completion of the reorganization, will be composed of the four major naval divisions and the Four Master Regiments, the Xiangyang Army is stationed in the three northern provinces, Xiaoxiang Mansion, Poyang Mansion, and Guangling Mansion to consolidate the Tianhe defense line, while Dongchang Mansion in the northeast of Chuzhou is still occupied by the Tang Army.

The Nanwu Legion still retains its banner, but the interior is a complete replacement, this one is in Shanglin Mansion, Jialin Mansion, Dawan Mansion, relying on the noble nurses, offerings, and local young and strong legions, in the end only retained less than 60,000 people, and the remaining nearly 200,000 people were all disarmed and returned to the field, which can be said to be the biggest event in addition to the exchange of contracts.

The rebuilt Nanwu Legion is also the Eight Master Regiment, but among them, it also includes the first and second red clay divisions formed by Zhang Han, and the reorganized Nanwu Legion, in addition to being stationed in Shanglin Mansion, Suzaku Mansion, Dawan Mansion, Nanlin Mansion, Nanxing Mansion and other central and southeastern parts of Chuzhou, will also transfer three divisions to form a barbarian battalion of the Southern Expedition, with Zhang Han as the commander, this army will march into the wild jungle and go south with the Dayue Miao Kingdom to conquer another tribe.

The Panlong Legion is still stationed in Jiuchuan and Jialin, and the entire legion is a six-division regiment, with a strength of 150,000, mainly reduced, and the number of soldiers and horses replaced is only 50,000, and among the major legions, the reorganization of the Panlong Legion is at the end, because it is the farthest away.

The four major legions, the Suzaku Legion absorbed more than 20,000 people, the Xiangyang Legion absorbed nearly 100,000, the Nanwu Legion absorbed more than 130,000, and the Panlong Legion absorbed 50,000, directly digesting most of the troops exchanged for the treaty, and the remaining troops were organized into the Fifth Legion.

The Northern Army Corps is organized into five divisions and two brigades, with 130,000 soldiers and horses, and all the generals are under the command of Leng Zhuo.

Of course, this huge reorganization plan could not be completed in one or two months, because the exchange of prisoners was extremely complicated from the beginning, so statistics alone was not a light task, especially to guard against the Tang Army's manpower, so the entire reorganization process was carried out in stages.

But the first step has been taken, which is already a good start, and when the reorganization is underway, the arrangement of Shuzhou is also in full swing. (To be continued)
