Chapter 862 New Arrangements
In the side hall next to Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought.
According to Shi Lei's temperament, he must have written down all the information he obtained.
At the same time, a lot of information about the 'green skins' has also been added.
In the past, the information was limited, and no matter how much Zhou Xu thought about it, he could not figure out much. Now that the information has been supplemented, he quickly sorted out more thoughts.
For example, the composition of the 'green-skinned' group is actually somewhat similar to that of the lizard people. Although the lizard people are collectively called lizard people, within the group, they are actually divided into blue lizards (Soluk) and green lizards (Baltu). , as well as chameleons and other branches. Even considering the possibility of bloodline evolution, half-dragons must be included in it.
The same is true for 'green-skinned', which is a large category of a group of people. The huge ogre is green-skinned, and those silly big guys who are similar in shape to humans but are bigger than humans are also green-skinned. Skins, and those Goblin Wolf Cavalry who are smaller in size, but more intelligent and flexible, and can control their mounts, are still green-skinned in nature.
In addition, it was mentioned in the report that Wojin Copperfurnace said that multiple forces on the rock wall formed a coalition to deal with the greenskins together.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that the scale of the green skin is definitely not small.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu was naturally grateful for the fact that the dwarves helped them repel the greenskins.
But putting aside that little bit of gratitude, Zhou Xu was generally clear about the other party's thoughts.
To put it simply, as long as the greenskins are still there, there is basically no possibility of them turning against each other, and they will even form a win-win relationship due to the geographical location of their territories.
The dwarves will take the initiative to guard the front area and prevent the enemy from going deep into their rear. By the way, they also ensure the peace of their New North District in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And in order to protect the New Taipei District, they, the Great Zhou, will also ensure the stability of the dwarves' rear area.
Zhou Xu clearly sees the stakes here.
How can there be so many good people in this world? Common interests, that is what is real.
Right now, there is still trouble with the rat people in the southern border. Zhou Xu has no plans to allow the New Taipei District to continue to expand for the time being. He can just maintain the status quo. He will wait until next spring to solve the rat people in the southern border. Say it again.
“Pass my order to have the wood elves withdraw and let Drogo lead the team back to Feiyan City. As for Li Ce, let him continue to sit in Anling City and wait for subsequent orders.”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he lowered his gaze to the map that was drawn some time ago.
This greenskin invasion undoubtedly proves how important it is to have a reliable general.
In the situation at that time, although the dwarf troops helped a lot, it could not change the fact that Shi Lei took control at the critical moment and stabilized the battle situation in the New North District.
With the rapid expansion of their territory in the New World, it has undoubtedly become a top priority to arrange reliable generals to garrison them.
In the New Taipei District, because the Dwarven Copperforge is next door, and the external coalition forces, including the dwarves, are still at war with the greenskins, it should not be possible for them to attack in the next few years. What expansion plans will there be?
Considering this, there is no problem with the decision to appoint Shi Lei, who has done things steadily, as the commander-in-chief of the New Taipei District. The problem now is who should hand over the garrison work of Anling City after Shi Lei leaves. ?
Although after occupying the New Taipei District, geographically speaking, Anling City has been regarded as their internal city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the location of Anling City is still quite far away from the New Taipei District. , there are also many mountainous and forested areas in the middle, which have not been explored yet. If you relax too much, there is no guarantee that any accident will not happen. Zhou Xu thought about this, and the most suitable candidate here had to be Li Ce.
After all, compared to Anling City, Green Forest City is obviously safer. The wood elves can no longer do without them, and annexation is only a matter of time.
Beyond the Wood Elf Village is a large lake. The large lake is connected to Black Moon City and the factory area of the Lizardmen. It is their territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The possibility of risks is very low. Arrange a young general Just sit back and be done with it.
In a flash of thought, Zhou Xu completed a new round of defense arrangements in three strokes, five divisions, and two divisions.
As for the subsequent development plans of New Taipei District...
He was not familiar with the specific situation there for the time being, and had to take some time to conduct an inspection there before making follow-up arrangements.
While Zhou Xu was planning like this, Shi Lei, who was in Yuancheng, had already arrived at Pingyuan City with his troops that were still capable of fighting.
The city gate has been destroyed, and the city is in a mess. Many buildings have been damaged. At the same time, the streets and surrounding buildings are still stained with large areas of dried blood, except for some debris. , but not many corpses could be seen. This situation actually made Shi Lei's faces look even more ugly.
At that moment, a strong sense of discomfort that they had never experienced before surrounded their hearts. This was more of a psychological feeling.
Some recruits couldn't bear it and even vomited on the spot.
"Confirm whether there are any survivors in the city. Inform the engineering team to repair the city gate first, and the rest will clean up the military camp in the city and set up camp."
After quickly giving instructions on what needed to be done, Shi Lei held hands. He took the reins and rode towards the city gate at the other end of Pingyuan City.
After going around, it can be basically confirmed that this Pingyuan City is already an empty city.
After briefly completing the stationing work, Shi Lei sat in his tent and was silent for a while, then spread out a piece of animal skin paper and quickly wrote a report.
During this process, time has quietly entered autumn. Under Shi Lei's arrangement, the first batch of people who moved towards Anling City have now successfully arrived in Anling City.
Although New Taipei District has been safe since then, Zhou Xu is not ready to let this group of people go back.
On the one hand, considering that going back and forth can easily cause some unnecessary trouble.
On the other hand, considering that in the New World, compared to the New Taipei District, the New South District is the key area for development. This group of people has been transferred here anyway, so we might as well arrange Just work as a labor force in the New South District and that's it.
If the New Taipei District is short of labor for subsequent development, then he can just transfer labor from the New South District. This can be regarded as a disguised population transfer to facilitate his assimilation of the new population.
"Your Majesty, there is a report from Colonel Shi Lei from the New Taipei District."
After successfully resisting the green-skin invasion, as a reward, in addition to some material rewards, Zhou Xu took advantage of the situation and raised Shi Lei's military rank by another level.
From the current point of view, Shi Lei is the general with the highest military rank in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the largest area in charge.
