Chapter 862 New Arrangement

In the side hall next to the Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought.

According to Shi Lei's personality, he must have written down all the information he had obtained.

At the same time, a lot of information about the "greenskins" was also supplemented.

Previously, the information was limited, and no matter how hard Zhou Xu thought about it, he couldn't figure out much. Now that the information has been supplemented, he quickly sorted out more thoughts.

For example, the ethnic composition of the "greenskins" is actually a bit similar to that of the lizardmen. Although the lizardmen are collectively called lizardmen, the ethnic group is actually divided into blue lizards (Soruk), green lizards (Baertu), and chameleons. Even considering the possibility of bloodline evolution, half-dragons must be counted in it.

The same is true for the "greenskins". This is a large category of the ethnic group. The huge ogre is a greenskin, and those stupid big guys who are similar to humans but more burly than humans are also greenskins. There are also those goblin wolf cavalrymen who are short in stature but smarter and more flexible and can control mounts. In essence, they are still greenskins.

In addition, the report mentioned that Woking Copperforge said that multiple forces on the rock wall formed a coalition to fight against the greenskins together.

It is not difficult to see from this point that the scale of the greenskins is definitely not small.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu is naturally grateful for the dwarves who helped them repel the greenskins.

However, apart from that gratitude, Zhou Xu is also roughly clear about the other party's thoughts.

Simply put, as long as the greenskins are still there, there is basically no possibility of a fallout between the two sides, and even a win-win relationship will be formed due to the geographical location of the territories of both sides.

The dwarves will take the initiative to guard the front area, guard against the enemy's deep penetration into their rear, and also ensure the peace of their Great Zhou Xinbei District.

And their Great Zhou will also protect the Xinbei District and ensure the stability of the dwarves' rear.

Zhou Xu sees the interests here clearly.

How many good people are there in this world? Common interests, that is the real thing.

At present, there is still the problem of ratmen in the southern border. Zhou Xu has no plan to continue expanding in the New North District for the time being. It is enough to maintain the status quo. Everything will be decided when he solves the ratmen in the southern border in the spring of next year.

"Pass my order, let the wood elves withdraw, let Drogo also lead the team back to Feiyan City, as for Li Ce, let him continue to stay in Anling City and wait for follow-up orders."

As Zhou Xu said, he looked at the map that was drawn some time ago.

This time the greenskin invasion undoubtedly proved how important it is to have a reliable general.

At that time, although the dwarf troops helped a lot, it could not change the fact that Shi Lei held the bottom at the critical moment and stabilized the war situation in the New North District.

And now, with the rapid expansion of their Great Zhou's territory in the New World, arranging reliable generals to garrison has undoubtedly become a top priority.

In the New North District, since the Dwarven Copperforge is next door and the coalition forces including the dwarves are still fighting with the greenskins, their Great Zhou should not have any expansion plans in the next few years.

Considering this, it is not a problem to appoint Shi Lei, who is cautious, as the commander-in-chief of the New North District. The problem now is who should be entrusted with the garrison work of Anling City after Shi Lei leaves?

Although Anling City is already an internal city of their Great Zhou in terms of geographical location after occupying the New North District, the location of Anling City is still quite far away from the New North District. There are also many mountainous and forested areas in between. It has not been explored yet. If it is too relaxed, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents.

In this regard, Zhou Xu thought about it and the most suitable candidate here is Li Ce.

After all, compared with Anling City, Green Forest City is obviously safer. The Wood Elves can no longer leave their Great Zhou, and annexation is just a matter of time.

Outside the Wood Elf Village, there is a large lake. The lake is connected to the Black Moon City and the factory area of ​​the Lizardmen. They are all the territory of their Great Zhou. The possibility of risk is very low. Just arrange a young general to take charge.

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu quickly completed a new round of defense arrangements.

As for the subsequent development plan of the New North District...

He is not familiar with the specific situation there for the time being. He has to take some time to go there for an investigation before making subsequent arrangements.

While Zhou Xu was planning this, Shi Lei, who was in Yuancheng, had arrived in Pingyuan City with his troops who were still capable of fighting.

The city gate had been destroyed, the city was in a mess, and many buildings had been destroyed. At the same time, the streets and surrounding buildings were stained with large patches of dried blood, but apart from some debris, there were not many corpses. This situation made Shi Lei and his men look even uglier.

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 stand it and vomited on the spot.

"Confirm whether there are any survivors in the city. Inform the engineering troops to repair the city gate first. The rest of the people go to clean up the military camp in the city and station down."

After quickly giving the instructions, Shi Lei pulled the reins in his hand and rode his horse towards the city gate at the other end of Pingyuan City.

After a circle, it can be basically confirmed that Pingyuan City is already an empty city.

After completing the stationing work, Shi Lei sat in his tent and was silent for a while. Then he spread out a piece of animal skin paper and quickly wrote a report.

In this process, time quietly entered autumn. Under Shi Lei's arrangement, the first batch of people who moved to Anling City had successfully arrived in Anling City.

Although Xinbei District has been safe since then, Zhou Xu did not plan to let this group of people go back.

On the one hand, it is considered that going back and forth is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble.

On the other hand, it is considered that the New World is the key area of ​​development compared to Xinbei District. This group of people has been transferred here anyway, so just arrange them to serve as labor in Xinnan District.

On the other hand, if there is a lack of labor in the subsequent development of Xinbei District, he will transfer labor from Xinnan District. This can be regarded as a disguised population transfer, so as to facilitate his assimilation of the new population.

"Your Majesty, a report from Colonel Shi Lei from the New North District."

After successfully resisting the invasion of the greenskins, Zhou Xu promoted Shi Lei's rank to a higher level as a reward, in addition to some material rewards.

At present, Shi Lei is the general with the highest rank in their Great Zhou and is in charge of the largest area.
