Chapter 480: Trading

"Congratulations to General Shang for being promoted to Pingzhou Mu, the number one player is well deserved!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is joking, who dares to say that he is the number one player in front of Yanhuang!"

Chen Mo, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood in front of Shang Ji, smiling and cupping his hands in congratulations. Shang Ji laughed out loud, and by the way, ran on Yanhuang.

Ever since Shang Ji was promoted to the prefect of Liaodong, Yanhuang took the initiative to withdraw Chen Mo. As for whether to give up the surveillance or to turn the surveillance from light to dark, it is not known.

But this time Chen Mo came here because Shang Ji took the initiative to invite him for a deal!

And Chen Mo was accompanied by several senior officials of Yanhuang for this business negotiation.

In the battle against the Wuhuan people and the subsequent battle to suppress the Wuhuan rebellion, the Shang Ji army captured more than 1.3 million Wuhuan soldiers.

Most of them are third-tier soldiers, and a small part are fourth-tier elites.

Shang Ji did not intend to incorporate these Wuhuan people into the army, and the Wuhuan elite cavalry that Wuhuan was proud of were worthless in Shang Ji's eyes.

In terms of cavalry, Shang Ji's army is the pinnacle of the world, whether it is black armor Xuanqi, silver dragon iron cavalry, Lieyang cavalry, Yan Zhihu cavalry, they are more than one step stronger than the so-called Wuhuan fine cavalry!

During the Battle of Liucheng, Shang Ji confiscated four Wuhuan elite cavalry special arms training cheats, but did not use any of them.

However, these things are not in the eyes of merchants, but they are extremely good things for other forces.

Apart from Shang Ji and Yanhuang, there is no player in Huaxia District that can pull out more than 100,000 cavalry troops, let alone 1.3 million elite Wuhuan cavalry. Even for Yanhuang, the 1.3 million prisoners of war are a huge resource.

Therefore, after receiving Shang Ji's invitation, Yanhuang immediately sent negotiators to discuss the transaction.

"Mr. Chen, you must have known my opinion? I wonder what you think?"

Shang Ji's meaning is very clear, these Wuhuan prisoners of war are only exchanged, not sold, they are exchanged with Han people from the mainland!

According to the latest census, Pingzhou has a total population of about 64.32 million (excluding Lelang County). With a population of more than 60 million, many dynasties in history did not have that many populations in their heydays, but they were pitifully small in the flames of war.

In densely populated areas such as Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili, a county with an area of ​​less than one-fifth of Liaodong has a population of hundreds of millions, and the population density is dozens of times that of Pingzhou!

And population is the foundation of everything, no need to emphasize this point!

Taking advantage of the Yellow Turban war, Shangji planned to attract more than 8 million people from within, but this is not even a drop in the bucket. Shangji now urgently needs people to fill the desolate land of Pingzhou!

The reason for finding Yanhuang is because Yanhuang is the only player force that is qualified, capable, and willing to participate in this large-scale population migration.

As for whether the Yanhuang attached to the Wuhuan army of one million will leave any hidden dangers of chaotic China, Shang Ji is not worried at all.

If Tangtang Yanhuang can't deal with these rootless aliens, then Yanhuang can wipe his neck from top to bottom!

"After our high-level research and decision, in principle, we agree with General Shang's trade plan of 'exchanging population for prisoners of war'." Chen Mo coughed and said slowly: "However, we think that further negotiation is needed for this specific exchange ratio!"

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Shang Ji asked lightly.

The price given by Shang Ji before was for one third-tier prisoner of war to exchange for fifteen healthy adult men, or eighteen women, or thirty children under the age of thirteen. The fourth level doubles, and the fifth level doubles again!

But Shang Ji knew in his heart that this price was purely a lion's mouth, and Yanhuang would never agree to it no matter what.

"One third-rank Wuhuan soldier can be exchanged for three adult men, or four women, or six underage children!"

Shang Ji gritted his teeth, and looked at Chen Mo with a bit of pain: "Mr. Chen, that's not how business is done! You haggle too hard!"

He directly cut a 20% discount, although Shang Ji is a big open mouth, but Yanhuang's counter-offer is too ruthless!

Chen Mo also scratched his head a little irritably,

With a wry smile, he said, "General Shang, the collection and transfer of population will cost a lot! All the population you trade with you has to be negotiated with the players in the north. It will take a lot of effort!"

Yanhuang's strength in the north is not very strong, and the population in his hands is not large. As Chen Mo said, these populations all need to be coordinated and transferred among the northern player forces, and Yanhuang can't do too much, and must give appropriate compensation. Otherwise, it is easy to cause a backlash from the lord player group.

You must know that none of the players who can become lords is Yi Yi's generation in reality. One or two Yanhuangs can be ignored, but there are too many Yanhuangs.

Shang Ji turned a deaf ear to Chen Mo's complaints. If it wasn't for Yan Huang's ability to coordinate and mobilize, why would Shang Ji trade with them? Wuhuan prisoners of war are in short supply, and there is no need to worry about selling them.

"Well, I'll take a step back. I'll return all the weapons and armor of Wuhuan soldiers, and I can even add a horse. You can increase the exchange rate to ten adult men, or twelve women, or How about twenty children?"

After a pause, Shang Ji said again in a bewitching tone: "These prisoners of war can be turned into elite soldiers immediately after a little rectification. More than one million Wuhuan cavalry have penetrated into the Western Regions, which will definitely help your side gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions! "

Chen Mo's expression tightened when he heard the words, and he exchanged a glance with several representatives of Yanhuang who had been taciturn. One of the representatives' body quickly disappeared, and it was obvious that he had gone offline to report to the real BOSS.

Seeing this, Shang Ji showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, knowing that the business was basically stable!

The Wuhuan army's equipment and armor are purely tasteless to Shang Ji, who doesn't even look down on such low-end goods. As for war horses, the most indispensable thing in Liaodong now is war horses.

The war horses under Shang Ji's name are enough to equip all the soldiers under his command with two horses and some more.

Nowadays, the regular cavalry in the Shang Ji Army also use middle-grade war horses for the last time, and a large number of low-grade war horses are treated as low-grade horses, and are used to pull goods, transport materials and even cultivate land! It seems that Shang Ji is not losing money by exchanging war horses for population!

Half a month ago, Bo Cai, the former Southern Commander of the Yellow Turban Army, was appointed as the Protector of the Western Regions. At the same time, a large number of Yellow Turban Army backbones such as Chu Yan, Guan Hai, He Man, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua will be transferred to the Western Regions.

Along with them were five hundred thousand Yellow Turban elites.

After the Battle of the Yellow Turbans subsided, Zhang Jiao may also have realized the shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army's lack of combat power, and wantonly dismissed soldiers who were not strong in combat power. Originally there were more than 30 million Yellow Turbans, but in the end less than one-tenth of them were carefully selected.

Today's Yellow Turban Army only retains 3 million troops, but its combat power is at the lowest level of Tier 4, which is completely on par with the Northern Army of the previous imperial court.

And among the large number of officials from the Western Regions, a player who had never been heard of by others was appointed as Captain Wuji, and he was under Bocai's tent to obey orders!

Just when the majority of players were speculating about the origin of this Captain Wuji named Wang Zhenglin, a large number of players with a strong military style joined Wang Zhenglin's command, and Yanhuang sent a large amount of manpower and material resources to support Wang Zhenglin at the same time, making Wang Zhenglin quickly become a leader. A giant.

The truth is revealed, Wang Zhenlin is one of Yanhuang's backers!

Compared with Yanhuang's layout of the world, Shangji's defense of Liaodong is undoubtedly much worse in terms of layout.

With the size of the Western Regions, an army of less than 50,000 players is simply not enough to control the overall situation. Even with the addition of 500,000 elite Yellow Turbans, it is impossible to completely control the situation.

However, Yanhuang was limited by his strength, and it was impossible to allocate a large number of troops to Wang Zhenglin's command.

But once there are 1.3 million Wuhuan cavalry, the situation is completely different. Controlling Wuhuan cavalry with 50,000 combat players as the core, combined with 500,000 yellow scarf elites, is also a terrifying force that can destroy cities and countries in the Western Regions!

Shang Ji also saw the right time, so he boldly proposed this suggestion.

After a while, the player who went offline went online again. Several people apologized to Shang Ji and went to the side hall, and after a while, the few people who finished the discussion returned to Shang Ji again.

"General Shang, after a meeting with the superiors, we agreed to your proposal. The exchange price will be as you said, but we require speed, and we will ensure that the Wuhuan army of more than one million can go into battle in the shortest possible time!"

Shang Ji laughed when he heard the words, and said cheerfully: "The speed of the transaction depends on you. I will give you prisoners of war as many people as you get, so please work hard!"
