Chapter 859 Delayed Intelligence
The work carried out by Zhou Xu in advance has greatly reduced the resistance of these centaur captives towards their great Zhou. Under this premise, Drogo, who is also a centaur, They showed greater strength to incorporate them.
This whole process can only be said to be completely logical.
And this is indeed the case. The centaurs headed by Drogo quickly completed the collection of this group of centaur prisoners.
Originally, according to His Majesty's order, after completing the collection, he went to the relevant registration department to register the personnel, and then he could directly bring this batch of centaurs back to Feiyan City for training.
However, during the specific implementation process, there were some minor surprises.
Each of these centaur captives is basically equivalent to a carriage. There are nearly three hundred centaur captives here, which is a huge transportation force.
Since Green Forest City produces a large amount of wood, and at the same time, ports and even corresponding village strongholds are still being built on the outer Great Lake, there has always been a huge demand for transportation capacity here.
And now, it is the autumn harvest season, and the demand for transportation capacity from the Ministry of Agriculture has also begun to increase linearly, causing the transportation pressure on Green Forest City to surge.
Every year during this season, carriages had to be dispatched from surrounding cities to Green Forest City to solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity here.
However, this year, due to the existence of the centaur captives, this matter was directly eliminated, and at the same time, the transportation capacity of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty became a lot more generous.
In this way, at this time, if Drogo takes away all these centaur prisoners, their transportation capacity will explode.
Considering this situation, Green Forest City also immediately made relevant applications to allow the Centaur captives to continue their transportation work in Green Forest City for the time being. They will wait until this wave of autumn harvest is over and the transportation pressure drops. Walk.
This application had been approved long before Drogo and the others arrived, and the relevant documents were sent to Green Forest City.
In fact, Drogo doesn't care about this. As long as he can successfully recruit this group of centaurs and expand the population of their centaur clan, everything else is easy to say.
After both parties reached a consensus, things went very smoothly here.
The centaurs who were officially recruited and joined the Great Zhou soon lost their status as 'captives' and became new recruits with their Great Zhou military membership.
Under this premise, the shackles that bound their hands and feet can naturally be lifted.
To a certain extent, the centaurs who had regained their freedom had a lot of joy on their faces.
During this period, the Feiyan City troops headed by Drogo also took advantage of the situation and rested in Green Forest City.
Estimating the time, the autumn harvest was coming to an end anyway, and it would only be half a month at most. They didn't need to wait too long, and they could just take a break.
Zhuo Ge and the others drove all the way from Daliang City in New Taipei District to Green Forest City in New South District in order to see their people as soon as possible, which really made them exhausted.
Now that they are relieved, if they are allowed to continue on their way, they will really be unable to catch up.
Feiyan City’s troops are going to rest here for almost half a month, and naturally they have to report to their Majesty.
Since this matter was not particularly important in a certain sense, Li Ce directly used flying pigeons to pass the message, which was more efficient.
However, before this flying pigeon letter arrived at the palace, another flying pigeon letter from Anling City arrived first.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu, who took the letter from Silke, opened it and looked at it, his brows suddenly furrowed uncontrollably.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Zhou Xu took a deep breath and led Hilke into the side hall as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong in the New Taipei District?" Others may not be able to see anything in this process, but as the captain of Zhou Xu's personal soldiers, Hilke can be said to be the closest to Zhou Xu One of the confidants.
After staying with Zhou Xu for a long time, my understanding of Zhou Xu naturally deepened.
Even if it is a subtle change in expression or a small unconscious movement, Silk can see a lot from it.
This flying pigeon letter was sent from Anling City, but it is basically impossible for anything to happen to Anling City. Under this premise, the only place where something could happen is New Taipei District.
It must be said that Hilke has not stayed by Zhou Xu in vain these years, and his independent thinking ability has obviously improved a lot.
Faced with Silke's inquiry at this moment, Zhou Xu did not shy away and directly handed over the letter in his hand.
Silke took it respectfully, and when he saw it, his expression changed instantly.
On the small stationery, there was a concise and clear sentence written: 'Green-skinned creatures appeared on the border of New Taipei District, and Pingyuan City fell! ’
The letter paper Fei Ge passed on was just that big, and the details couldn’t be written down, but the content of this sentence alone was enough to burst the flames for Zhou Xu and Silk.
"Silk, do you have any idea about this green-skinned creature?"
Faced with this question, Silk shook his head with an ugly expression.
"I've never heard of it."
Unknown things make people most anxious and uneasy, not to mention the lag in intelligence in this era. It is very likely that there is already one in New Taipei District by now. new situation.
This made Zhou Xu take steps unconsciously. Silk knew that this was a way for him to soothe his emotions and adjust his state.
"Your Majesty, the messenger with detailed information should already be on the way to Xianyang. You can ask again then."
Zhou Xu nodded, But some arrangements still have to be made in advance.
[Anyway, let’s go to Anling City to stock up on troops first! If there is any situation then, I can advance, attack, retreat or defend here. 】
[As for the candidates to lead the army...]
According to Zhou Xu's idea, I am afraid that this wave will not have to be led by himself.
However, considering the detailed intelligence, they still don’t understand after all. As the king of a country, he can’t possibly put down a lot of government affairs and go to Anling City to wait, right?
As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu quickly selected suitable candidates in his mind.
In other words, in the New South District, besides himself, there is only one suitable leader left, and that is Li Ce, who is now in charge of Green Forest City!
"Silk, you immediately send an elf knight with my warrant and people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Green Forest City to deliver the order..."
Zhou Xu said while walking quickly He walked to the desk in the side hall and wrote an order.
“Ask Li Ce to lead his troops to Anling City and station them, and be on standby at any time. At the same time, let the elf knights and people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs go to the wood elf village for help, just in case, we may need the help of the wood elf. At the same time, ask for information about the 'green-skinned creatures' from the wood elves! If you have any new information, report it to me as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
