"You are thinking about beauty. I, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers, are not your prisoner!"

Leng Zhuo's smile was already smiling and hearing Li Wei'er's words, and his face darkened: "Then let's just say it another way, just take the money to buy a road, but exchange the gold coins for the prisoners of war that you captured!"

"Hmph, it's a good plan, then what price are you going to open!"

"Five hundred thousand prisoners of war, change the way!" Leng Zhuo said directly with a lion's mouth.

Li Wei'er obviously had much stronger heart ability. Her beautiful eyes swept across Leng Zhuo and said coldly: "No!"

Leng Zhuo said oh, leaned on the chair, looked at Li Wei'er, and suddenly laughed, saying, "I have no discussion on this! Then forget it, anyway, this transaction will be more, and there will be no big loss if there is one less! Oh, if there is more waste of words, tomorrow morning, all the 10,000 Tang troops besieged on the coast of Poyang will be killed in battle!"

"Are you a threat? Are you sure?" Li Wei'er's eyes narrowed into slits, looked at Leng Zhuo who was standing up, and said with a faint smile.

Leng Zhuo snorted and said, "I think it's you who want to threaten you, not me. Since I know you are that assassin, do you think I'm not prepared? You are very strong, but you are stronger than the Holy Spirit. Moreover, at this time, Xun'er should be in the military envoy's mansion. If you dare to act rashly, try it!"

When Li Wei'er heard this, she couldn't help but hold the back of the chair, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She couldn't tell whether what Leng Zhuo said was true or false, but Xun'er was taken away, it was a very good thing: "You are so despicable. You actually hold Xun'er hostage. Fortunately, she has been thinking about your good deeds!"

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 no 500,000 prisoners of war! Where can I go to get you the head!" Li Wei'er bit her teeth. She wanted to grab Leng Zhuo's thoughts and move back to the passive situation. Unexpectedly, this guy was so shameless.

Leng Zhuo saw Li Wei'er let go, but he smiled and sat back on the chair. He said, "Okay. Then how many prisoners of war are there in you!"

"I don't know the specific amount, but it's only 400,000 yuan, and don't you think your asking price is too high!" Li Wei'er said whisperingly.

"I don't think so, but if you say this, then we have to calculate it sincerely. Let's talk about your Tang army soldiers first. As far as I know, every Tang army soldier has been selected and selected. From the age of four or five, he started to train martial arts, battle formations, etc., and each of them has been tempered for more than ten years before they become soldiers. And you are constantly instilling the belief of reviving 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 Wei'er proudly held her chest out.

"I won't mention the cost of training such a soldier. It takes more than fifteen or sixteen years alone. Most of the soldiers of the empire are recruited from civilians. After joining the army, they have grown up and trained for two or three years. Even if they become soldiers, four or five of these soldiers can't match a Tang army soldier. I have no objection to say that!"

Li Wei'er nodded, but she keenly discovered 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 through the battlefield for a long time, but they are not comparable to new recruits. Although they are not as good as my Tang warriors in many aspects!"

"Okay, we don't change one of them to four or five, one of them to three! In my eyes, only three imperial soldiers can beat the Tang army soldier, and on the battlefield, it's almost the same. Facing ten thousand Tang army, there is no 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, and there is almost no chance of winning!" Leng Zhuo seemed to have made a big step, and said.

"If it is the main warrior of the Tang army in Zhongzhou, I accept this exchange ratio, but you also know that there are many auxiliary soldiers in the Tang army in the southern expedition, and even many surrendered soldiers in the Chuzhou area. This proportion cannot be used in this part!"

"Naturally, the auxiliary soldiers heading south in Zhongzhou, one to two, and as for those surrendered soldiers, one to one!"

"Yes!" Li Wei'er thought for a moment, nodded and agreed. In fact, in the Tang army now, the empire sent a lot of troops, many of which have become part of the Tang army, and the Tang Dynasty also needed these surrendered troops as auxiliary soldiers and even cannon fodder.

"We have no problem with ordinary soldiers like this. Let's talk about the issue of military generals!" Leng Zhuo started bargaining like a businessman, and this was obviously a case that had been done before coming. As long as Li Wei'er was willing to negotiate, she would not be afraid that she would not get into a trap.

The negotiations lasted from dusk to midnight until midnight, and finally a preliminary charter was established: "It seems that as long as we are sincere, we can negotiate well. If there is no problem, we will sign the contract tomorrow!"

Li Wei'er was also a little tired. Obviously, Li Wei'er suffered a lot of losses in this kind of petty matter. Leng Zhuo was prepared. Although Li Wei'er was smart, she was still a little dizzy by Leng Zhuo's extremely complicated method of changing.

There is no specific number in this agreement, but there is a detailed exchange ratio. From a captain to a captain, the most hateful thing is that this guy actually doesn't want those captured senior generals, even the battalion lieutenant level, but she can only grit her teeth and secretly scold this guy for being cunning!

"Since we have reached an agreement, will the war in Xiaoxiang Mansion stop? And my sister...!"

Leng Zhuo nodded in a good mood and said, "This is natural, but should His Royal Highness the Princess also send a letter? After all, the truce is not our business. As for Xun'er, I will not make things difficult for her. She wants to come back, so she can naturally come back at any time!"

Leng Zhuo left the teahouse, and this three-story century-old teahouse, the West Lake Teahouse, was destined to be recorded in history. At that time, Leng Zhuo, the military envoy of Chuzhou, and Li Weier, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, reached the most far-reaching exchange between Zhongzhou and Chuzhou.

In exchange, a series of exchange agreements were formulated with the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides and opening the access channel to the north as the core. Through this agreement, Leng Zhuo not only exchanged for nearly 400,000 imperial soldiers, but also obtained 100,000 Tang troops' armor, weapons, and nearly half of the monster mounts. The Tang Dynasty exchanged for Fu Yu, the general of Zhechong Zhonglang, who was captured during the Xiangyang rebellion, as well as nearly 10,000 soldiers, as well as the Zhuxiong Zhechong Mansion.

Both sides took the needs, and the transaction method was carried by ships on a scale of tens of thousands of people. The entire exchange process lasted for three months. It can be said that this exchange greatly affected the situation and made the Tang army focus on Qingzhou to the east.

On the north of Xiangyang City, the journey from the ferry on the north bank to Xiangyang City is more than 30 miles away, but the left and right sides are filled with huge camps. The soldiers who were replaced from Zhongzhou in the north will be registered for protection here, and the system will be broken up and rebuilt, and a team of hundreds of people will be organized.

In addition, camping in Xiangyang North was also established, because these prisoners of war who refused to surrender to the Tang army were all used as slaves in Zhongzhou. They didn't eat much every day and had to do heavy physical labor. Many people had a pale face and thin skin, so they had no majestic posture, so they had to recover for a while.

During these three months, the military system of Chuzhou was also undergoing major changes. The Zhuque Legion added another new division, with a full eighth division, with a total force of 200,000, which was the most elite force in Chuzhou. After completing the agreement to exchange the Tang army of Xiaoxiang Prefecture, the Zhuque Legion gradually moved to the Xiangshui River bank to prepare for the westward crossing to Xiyan Prefecture.

At the same time, a larger-scale reorganization is also being prepared. Within the three major legions, the temporary patchwork of the Haogui Guardian began to disband, worship and disband the young and strong. At the same time, the soldiers under their jurisdiction were subjected to a three-month special training assessment, eliminating some unqualified soldiers.

This is actually a large-scale cutting of soldiers and horses. After all, Chuzhou has experienced more than two years of war and local corruption, and more labor is needed to restore the local area. After obtaining more than 400,000 soldiers and horses exchanged from Zhongzhou, Leng Zhuo naturally does not need these pieces of soldiers and horses.

The Xiangyang Legion also includes the Eight Masters, with a total force of 180,000. After the reorganization is completed, it will be composed of four major navy divisions and four major divisions. The Xiangyang Legion is permanently stationed in the three northern prefectures, Xiaoxiang Prefecture, Poyang Prefecture, and Guangling Prefecture to consolidate the Tianhe defense line. However, Dongchang Prefecture, northeast of Chuzhou, is still occupied by the Tang army.

The Nanwu Legion still retained the banner, but there was a complete major removal within it. This branch was originally a legion composed of Shanglin Mansion, Jialin Mansion, and Dayuan Mansion, relying on the ranks of noble garrisons, worship, and local young and strong people. In the end, less than 60,000 people were retained, and the remaining nearly 200,000 people were all removed from their ranks and returned to their fields. It can be said that this was the biggest incident besides the change of contracts.

The rebuilt Nanwu Legion was also composed of the eight master regiments, but among them were the first and second Red Clay Divisions formed by Zhang Han. The reorganized Nanwu Legion, in addition to the central and southeastern Chuzhou, such as Shanglin Mansion, Zhuque Mansion, Dayuan Mansion, Nanlin Mansion, Nanxing Mansion, etc., will also draw three divisions to form the southern expedition camp, 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 Mansions. The entire legion is composed of the Sixth Division, with a force of 150,000, mainly for reduction, and the number of replaced troops is only 50,000. Among the several major legions, the reorganization of the Panlong Legion is at the end because the distance here is the farthest.

The four major legions, the Vermilion Bird Legion absorbed more than 20,000 people, the Xiangyang Legion absorbed nearly 100,000, and the Nanwu Legion absorbed more than 130,000. Together with the 50,000 of the Panlong Legion, they directly digested most of the troops exchanged, and the remaining troops were organized into the Fifth Legion.

The Northern Legion was organized into five divisions and two brigades, with 130,000 troops and horses. All the generals were under the command of Leng Zhuo's hundreds of generals.

Of course, this huge reorganization plan cannot be completed in one or two months, because the exchange of prisoners was extremely complicated from the beginning, so statistics alone was a big job, especially to beware of the Tang army's installation of people, so the entire reorganization process was carried out in stages.

However, taking the first step is a good start, and as the reorganization is underway, the arrangement of Shuzhou is also in full swing. (To be continued)
