Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 842 New Plan
Looking at the sun in the sky, Drogo counted the time silently in his heart.

"It's almost time..."

Zhuo Ge was waiting for the order to attack the city. At this moment, the gate of Daliang City in the distance slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, Liang officials, still wearing official uniforms, slowly walked out of the city.

"Liang Guo is willing to surrender!!!"

Amid the shouts, the officials knelt down one after another to show their submission.

The season was at the end of summer, and the scorching sun in the sky was still exuding its own high temperature. Autumn had not yet arrived, and the state of Liang had already cooled down.

The Zhou troops quickly entered the city and took over the city defense work, and then sent another army to take over the last city located in the east of Liang Kingdom.

The easternmost side of Liang State and the north-facing outer side are all continuous rock walls, towering and steep.

In other words, the retreat was completely blocked, which was the biggest reason why Emperor Liang never thought of abandoning the capital and retreating to this city.

This way is a dead end, and coming here is also a dead end. It is better to die on the dragon throne in his own palace, and at least he can protect his last bit of dignity as Emperor Liang.

From this moment on, the Liang Kingdom was completely defeated, and relevant battle reports were sent to Xianyang as quickly as possible and handed over to Zhou Xu.

In this process, time quietly enters autumn...

"Suicide?"

After receiving the news, Zhou Xu took a higher look at the unmasked Emperor Liang.

Not everyone has the courage to sacrifice himself for his country. Putting aside his overestimation of his own abilities, Emperor Liang still has some backbone.

Regarding this matter, Zhou Xu didn't think much about it. He just sighed a little and focused on the subsequent report.

Considering the subsequent governance work, Emperor Liang still has to pay a little attention to his popularity among the people.

According to the reports from the front-line troops, the situation is neither good nor bad at the moment.

This Emperor Liang, you have to say that the people love him. He has been waging wars over the years, which has resulted in the people under his rule rarely having a peaceful life for a few years, and their lives are even more difficult.

But you have to say that he is unpopular. After all, he won the war. He just annexed neighboring countries last year and expanded Liang's territory by nearly one-half.

From this point of view, apart from the founding emperor of the Liang Kingdom, there is probably no one in the history of emperors who can compare with his achievements.

This also led to the fact that the people of the Liang Kingdom had no problem with whether they loved him or not. Basically, they were in a situation where they didn't care who you were, and it didn't matter who became the emperor. It didn't matter who the emperor was. Labor and management didn't respond to you or support you. a state.

Not to mention the people of neighboring countries who were annexed just last year.

This saved Zhou Xu a lot of trouble. Even though the other party started the war, if the emperor was very popular with the people, it would be a troublesome thing for him.

Putting aside the frontline report he had read, he could slowly arrange the follow-up matters as the war with Liang Guo came to an end.

He originally thought about launching troops against the rat people in the southern border, but now it is autumn. For a country, the autumn harvest is still very important. Without affecting the autumn harvest, Zhou Xu estimated the time. It was definitely too late.

[The rat men will definitely come back to consume them in the autumn and winter, so we might as well spend another round with them and wait until the spring of next year before mobilizing troops. ] In this wave, Zhuoge and the others had already achieved high enough efficiency in capturing Liang State, and Zhou Xu could not ask for anything more.

Based on the latest situation, he quickly adjusted his plan and then picked up the next document.

The documents that were piled up in front of Zhou Xu and needed to be processed with the highest priority were basically related to this war.

The document in his hand at the moment was about the handling of prisoners.

In this wave, both Drogo's side and Shi Lei's side successfully captured a large number of prisoners. Added together, the total number of prisoners of war alone is nearly 5,000. Provide a large supply of cheap labor.

Of course, this is not the important point. The important point is that among this group of prisoners, there are a total of two hundred and seventy-three centaurs!
Zhou Xu, who received the news at that time, was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

He thought a lot, but never thought that the missing Centaur mercenary would fall into his hands in this way.

Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to deal with them. He would imprison them first and let Drogo make contact after he came back.

After all, they are all centaurs. Compared with them, Drogo's identity should reduce a lot of troubles and make subsequent things much smoother.

Zhou Xu basically didn't need to worry about the post-war work that followed.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Shi Lei has become very mature, and Bai Tu has also grown up very quickly. The two of them can basically handle the related work in Liang Kingdom in an orderly manner. Now he usually only needs to wait to read the report and then give the documents. Approval, stamping and signing are all done.

After quickly processing these related documents, Zhou Xu's work for the day has just begun.

This year, the war with the Liang Kingdom did have an impact on their internal development in the Zhou Dynasty to a certain extent.

However, because the pressure of the war was not great, internal development still maintained a certain efficiency and did not completely stagnate.

Just half a month ago, at the Black Moon City dock, their second large ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been successfully launched.

To be honest, from a functional point of view, this should be regarded as their first ship with transportation as its main purpose, and they named it 'Yun 001' in a rather concise and clear way.

The shipbuilding plan has not stopped, and now the large lake from Black Moon City to Green Forest City has become an important route connecting the two areas.

In this case, two transport ships are definitely not enough. According to Zhou Xu's initial idea, the number of transport ships on this big lake will be increased to four before the end of next year.

Just when Zhou Xu was thinking about building a fleet, opening water routes, and achieving rapid development between the two places, a group of uninvited guests appeared outside the plain city on the western border of the original Liang Kingdom on the other side of the New World...

Their bodies are close to humans, but they look very different from humans.

They are tall and burly, with strange green skin covered with strong muscles.

At the same time, like humans, they can see clear facial features, but they have a mouth of ferocious fangs. Two of the exaggerated canine teeth directly squeezed open the wrapping of the lips and exposed them to the air, making their The appearance becomes more ferocious and ferocious!
The outsider who came here through a wasteland obviously noticed the existence of Pingyuan City at the first time.

At that moment, they were like beasts that smelled the smell of blood, and they let out excited war roars...

"WAAAGH!!!!"
