Chapter 865 A Blessing in Disguise
In the next period of time, every time Zhou Xu visited a city, he would stay there for one or two days to conduct inspections and plan future development ideas.
During this process, he clearly discovered that in terms of the number of cities, the New Taipei District, which has six cities, is not much different from the New South District.
But in fact it is much worse.
On the one hand, the scale of many cities is not as good as that of the New South District. On the other hand, the distance between the cities here is generally too close and the distribution is a bit crowded.
[If there is a chance, we still have to make large-scale adjustments to the city layout in New Taipei District. Six cities are not needed here. Four is wrong. To be precise, it should be three cities. One fortress is enough! 】
According to Zhou Xu's idea, in the core area of New Taipei District, grasping the location and properly arranging the two big cities will be enough to effectively occupy most of the land resources here.
After that, a city was arranged at the pass adjacent to Anling City. The overall distribution showed a triangular layout to facilitate the connection between the three cities.
Pingyuan City, as for Pingyuan City, followed his and Shi Lei's previous ideas and changed it into a military fortress, increasing its defense strength and that was it.
This is the effect Zhou Xu currently hopes to achieve most.
But if you want to do it, it's obviously not that easy.
In fact, according to Zhou Xu's idea, the location of every city in New Taipei District is not that ideal.
If you want to fully meet his expectations, you will probably have to bulldoze and rebuild the entire city here.
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu began to have a headache. At the same time, he also began to lament the benefits of the southern border. There was nothing there, but there was nothing to worry about. It was just a blank piece of paper. Wait. Let him use it.
From this point of view, it can be regarded as saving him trouble.
There are some cities in New Taipei District, but they are not ideal.
Of course, sometimes when it comes to development, we have to make some appropriate compromises based on the actual situation.
The amount of construction work in New Taipei District is not small. According to their current financial situation, if they were to be completely demolished and rebuilt, the Minister of Engineering and the Minister of Finance would probably hang themselves.
So in some places, just be a little more biased, and there is no need to be too fussy about it.
With this mentality, the locations of Daliang City, Yuancheng and Shanguan City located at the pass, as well as the Pingyuan Fortress that is ready to start construction and reconstruction, are not inaccessible.
As long as the demolition and reconstruction are replaced by adjustment and reconstruction, the entire expenditure can be significantly reduced in an instant, and the same is true in terms of manpower and material resources.
While Zhou Xu was holding his little book and thinking about the specific plan, the carriage he was riding in had successfully arrived outside Pingyuan City.
"Final General Shi Lei (Jie Liancheng), please see your Majesty!"
Hearing the noise, Zhou Xu poked his head out of the carriage and waved to the two of them.
“No gifts, get on the bus.”
"Yes."
In response, Shi Lei got into the carriage without any nonsense.
Then the carriage continued to drive towards Pingyuan City. During this period, Zhou Xu's eyes subconsciously looked at Jie Liancheng a few more times.
“How is your health?”
“Thanks to your Majesty’s concern, the general’s health has fully recovered.”
After all, Shi Lei is still here at this moment, so Xie Liancheng still has to go through the process.
"At the same time, this time the general is a blessing in disguise, the bravery star level has been officially upgraded to five stars."
After hearing the news, Zhou Xu also looked happy.
Having five-star potential and reaching full five-star potential are two different things. Many people may not be able to fully develop their potential throughout their lives. Now that Jie Liancheng has risen to one star, he finally has a serious five-star general in his hands! How could this make Zhou Xu unhappy?
From this point of view, Xie Liancheng is really a blessing in disguise this time.
But at the same time, it also made Zhou Xu more curious about the greenskin who could push Jie Liancheng to that point.
You know, thanks to his outstanding martial arts, although Xie Liancheng was four-star before, he was basically invincible even when he met military commanders of the same level.
Even from Zhou Xu's perspective, Xie Liancheng is probably able to jump to five stars.
In that case, it is hard to imagine how strong the greenskin was to be able to push Jie Liancheng into a desperate situation and even almost die.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xie Liancheng couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I thought carefully about that battle afterwards, and later found out that I actually had a problem myself."
"..."
Zhou Xu did not speak, Jing Jing Wait for the next chapter on Liancheng.
“The situation was tense at the time, and my idea was to fight quickly, so I used Thunderbolt Slash as soon as I started, hoping to kill the green skin in seconds.”
Having said this, Jie Liancheng couldn't help but slap his thigh in annoyance.
"Damn! Who would have thought that the green skin could react so quickly? He could actually keep up with my thunderbolt attack?!"
Zhou Xu also responded to Jie Liancheng's thunderbolt attack. It's quite understandable.
It is no exaggeration to say that Thunderbolt Slash is a very contradictory move.
One of the contradictions is that in the process of performing the Thunderbolt Slash, Xie Liancheng will be forced to give up all his martial arts skills, because this move is too fast and he has no room to display any skills. .
However, powerful martial arts skills were Xie Liancheng's biggest reliance on being invincible in battles before.
The second contradiction is that the Thunderbolt Slash is difficult to break, but it is easy to break.
The difficult part is that as long as you can't keep up with the speed of the Thunderbolt Slash, you will basically die!
On the other hand, once you can catch up with the speed of Thunderbolt Slash, then half of this move will be basically useless.
Under this premise, performing the Thunderbolt Slash will also put a load on the body, which is equivalent to cheating oneself in disguise.
"To put it bluntly, the green-skinned man has very good physical fitness and quick reactions. I shouldn't have used Thunderbolt Slash at that time. I just fought him normally. It might be better to fight him!"
Now that I say it! When this happened, Xie Liancheng slapped his thigh with regret.
"Oh, by the way, there's more! When the green-skinned guy was fighting me, there was a layer of energy-like light emerging from the surface of his body, and that light also wrapped his weapon."
“The opponent’s pair of knives look shabby, but they can fight with my three-pointed two-edged knife many times without being cut off. This is very abnormal!”
The three-pointed two-edged sword in Xie Liancheng's hand is no ordinary weapon. After Zhou Xu took over the territory here, he took some time to upgrade Xie Liancheng into a crystal iron weapon, supplemented by Jie Liancheng's With his strength, it would be abnormal to be unable to cut down an ordinary weapon.
Just when Zhou Xu was thinking this, Xie Liancheng spoke again.
"After the war, I picked up those two swords and tried them. Guess what? They broke as soon as I cut them!"
During the chat, Xie Liancheng gradually let go Yes, but Shi Lei next to him didn't find anything strange.
After working together for a while, he had a relatively good understanding of Xie Liancheng's temperament. At the same time, their Majesty was also a casual person and would not care about such trivial matters.
“I thought about this matter carefully, and there must be something wrong with the energy that wrapped the two swords at that time!”
