Chapter 842 New Plan
Looking at the sun in the sky, Zhuo Ge silently calculated the time in his heart.
"It's almost time..."
Zhuo Ge was about to give the order to attack the city, and at this moment, the gate of Daliang City in the distance slowly opened.
Then, the officials of Liang State, still wearing official uniforms, slowly walked out of the city.
"Liang State. Willing to surrender!!!"
Amid the shouting, the officials knelt down one after another to show their submission.
At this time, the season was at the end of summer, and the scorching sun in the sky was still stubbornly emitting its high temperature. Before autumn came, Liang State had already cooled down.
The Great Zhou troops quickly entered the city and took over the city defense work, and then sent another troop to take over the last city in the easternmost part of Liang State.
The easternmost part of Liang State and the outer side facing north were all continuous rock walls, towering and steep.
In other words, the retreat was completely blocked, which was also the biggest reason why Emperor Liang had never thought of abandoning the capital and retreating to this city.
This is a dead end. Coming here is also a dead end. It is better to die on the dragon throne in the palace. At least I can protect the last dignity of the Emperor of Liang.
From this moment on, Liang State was completely defeated. The relevant battle reports were sent to Xianyang as quickly as possible and handed over to Zhou Xu.
In this process, time quietly entered autumn...
"Committed suicide?"
Zhou Xu, who received this news, looked up to the Emperor of Liang who had never met.
Not everyone has the courage to sacrifice their lives for the country. Apart from that little bit of self-conceit, the Emperor of Liang still has some backbone.
Regarding this matter, Zhou Xu did not think much, but just sighed a little, and then focused his attention on the subsequent report.
Considering the subsequent governance work, he still has to pay a little attention to the popularity of the Emperor of Liang among the people.
According to the report of the front-line troops, it is neither good nor bad at present.
If you want to say that the people love this Emperor Liang, he has been launching wars all these years, which has caused the people under his rule to have basically no peaceful days for a few years, and their lives are even more difficult.
But if you want to say that he is unpopular, he has won the war after all. He just annexed the neighboring country last year, expanding the territory of Liang by nearly half.
In this regard, except for the founding emperor of Liang, no emperor in history can compare with him in terms of achievements.
This also led to the fact that the people of Liang did not have any love or dislike for him. Basically, they were in a state of not caring who you are, who is the emperor and I don’t care, I don’t oppose you or support you.
As for the people of the neighboring country that was just annexed last year, let alone.
This also saved Zhou Xu a lot of trouble. Although the other party started the war first, if the emperor on the other side is very popular, it would be a trouble for him.
Putting the front-line report aside, as the war with Liang came to an end, he could slowly arrange the follow-up matters.
He originally wanted to mobilize troops against the rat people in the southern border, but now it is autumn. For a country, autumn harvest is still very important. Without affecting the autumn harvest, Zhou Xu estimated the time and it was definitely too late.
[The rat people will definitely come back to consume in the autumn and winter. Just waste another round with them and wait until the spring of next year to mobilize troops. ]
This time, Zhuo Ge and his team have been efficient enough in conquering Liang State, and Zhou Xu can't make any more requests.
According to the latest situation, he quickly adjusted the plan and arranged it, and then picked up the next file.
The files that need to be handled with the highest priority in front of Zhou Xu are basically related to this war.
The file in his hand at this moment is about the handling of prisoners.
This time, whether it is Zhuo Ge and his team or Shi Lei, they have successfully captured a large number of prisoners. Adding the two sides together, the total number of prisoners of war alone is nearly 5,000, which can provide a large amount of cheap labor for their Great Zhou.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that there are 273 centaurs in this batch of captives!
Zhou Xu, who received the news at that time, was so happy that he would laugh out loud in his dreams.
He thought about it a lot, but he never thought that the missing centaurs would fall into his hands in this way.
Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to deal with them. He detained them first and let him contact them after Drogo came back.
After all, they are all centaurs. Compared with them, Drogo's identity should reduce a lot of trouble and make the subsequent things much smoother.
Zhou Xu basically didn't need to worry about the post-war work afterwards.
As the commander of an army, Shi Lei is very mature, and Bai Tu is growing fast. The two of them can basically handle the relevant work of Liang State in an orderly manner. He usually only needs to wait for the report, and then review and stamp the documents.
After quickly handling these relevant documents, Zhou Xu's work for the day has just begun.
This year, the war with Liang State did affect the development of their Great Zhou to a certain extent.
However, because the pressure of the war was not great, the internal development still maintained a certain efficiency and did not completely stagnate.
Just half a month ago, at the dock in Black Moon City, the second large ship of their Great Zhou was successfully launched.
To be honest, from a functional point of view, this should be regarded as the first ship in their Great Zhou that is mainly used for transportation, and it was named "Yun 001" in a rather concise and clear way.
The shipbuilding plan has not stopped. Now the large lake from Black Moon City to Green Forest City has become an important route connecting the two areas.
In this case, one or two ships are definitely not enough. According to Zhou Xu's initial idea, the number of ships on this large lake will be increased to four by the end of next year.
Just when Zhou Xu was imagining the formation of a fleet, opening a water route, and achieving rapid development between the two places, a group of uninvited guests appeared on the other side of the New World outside the Pingyuan City located in the western border of the former Liang State...
Their bodies are close to humans, but they look very different from humans.
They are tall and sturdy, with strong muscles under their strange green skin.
At the same time, like humans, they can clearly see their facial features, but they have a mouth full of ferocious fangs, two of which are exaggerated canines, which directly squeezed out of the lips and exposed to the air, making them look even more ferocious and ferocious!
The outsiders who came here through a wasteland obviously noticed the existence of Plain City at the first time.
At that moment, they were like beasts that smelled blood, and they let out an excited war cry...
"WAAAGH!!!!"
