Chapter 245: The Situation in the Land of Bitter Cold

Great Xia City.

Looking at the urgent report sent by Rowling quickly, Xia Qi's brows were directly twisted.

I don't know what happened during this time, but first there was a heavy rain, which caused the mountains on the side of the mountain city to slip, and several workers fell off the cliff.

By the time they were found, the workers had been dead for a long time.

Because of this incident, the construction speed on the mountain side of the castle has dropped significantly.

Then, the player named Wang Dadong invaded him again, and coincidentally, the place where he appeared was still not far from Tianxiong Pass.

This time, he was even more prepared to charge, with six or seven thousand slaves alone, and he also carried a large number of archers, warriors, and priests who could amplify them.

In the first six days, Wang Dadong's fighting style was the same as last time, letting the slaves go up first to die.

Because of the experience of the last time, the Tianxiong Pass side only shoots arrows when they attack.

On the seventh day, things were a little different.

When the drum in the priest's hand sounded, the soldiers on Wang Dadong's side were like a different person, and they couldn't help but be more fearless of death, and their speed increased a lot.

Caught off guard, the city was almost breached.

That Wang Dadong also took the opportunity to climb the city wall and had a big battle with the violent bear.

In that battle, both sides fought with all their might, and in the end, both sides lost.

After the war, not only was Tianxiong Pass partially damaged, but even the violent bear was seriously injured, and it was impossible to preside over the affairs of Tianxiong Pass in a short period of time.

The current Tianxiong Pass is temporarily presided over by his deputy general Peng Chun.

But this Peng Chun, his abilities are not outstanding, and most importantly, his personality is a little reckless, and he is not suitable for a strategic place like Tianxiong Pass.

After thinking about it, Xia Qi transferred the positions of Wang Meng and Peng Chun.

Let Wang Meng go to take charge of Tianxiong Pass, and Peng Chun go to garrison New Stone City.

These are still two big things that have happened in Great Xia recently, like some small things, and there are countless of them.

"Fox Man ......"

Xia Qi read these two words in his mouth, and the index finger of his right hand subconsciously tapped on the table.

After a few minutes, he stopped tapping on the table, and his brow furrowed.

"Zhang Liang, tell me to go down, I was originally expected to leave at the end of the month, and the grain transport team that rushed to the bitter cold land set off half a month in advance."

After that, Xia Qi began to write a warrant and handed it to a personal guard.

"You go to the fox tribe, send those fox captives over, and then give this warrant to Hu Li, the patriarch of the fox tribe, it knows what to do."

Quickly ordered the things that needed to be ordered, and the guards who received the order soon took Xia Qi's warrant and led a team of knights to send the fox captives to the fox tribe.

The fox captives looked a little dazed when they looked at the red fox men in front of them, who were both strange and familiar.

Yes, in their impression, all the orcs in the bitter cold land are white, and it is the first time they have seen fox people of this color.

And Hu Li, the patriarch of the fox tribe, couldn't help but pause in his movements in the face of these white fox people.

It wasn't until it took Xia Qi's warrant from the guard in charge of the order, and after reading it, did it understand the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Then, with a perk of energy, it realized that the opportunity to belong to their fox clan had finally arrived.

Since the previous group of kobolds began to show their loyalty, Hu Li's will also quickly wavered.

But helplessly, their fox clan is among the orcs, and their combat effectiveness is very stretched.

Melee combat is no match for kobolds, werewolves, minotaurs, lions, and elephants.

It's long-range, and the orc clan in Great Xia currently only has them as a long-range force.

But the problem is, Great Xia is not only orcs!

Goblin crossbowmen and human longbowmen, which are no more powerful than their fox archers.

Therefore, the status of the fox clan in Great Xia has always been quite embarrassing.

So now, even if Hu Li wants to show his loyalty, he doesn't know what to do.

Now something has finally come, of course it has to seize the opportunity and perform well!

Although the branches are different, but tracing back to the source, the fox people and the fox people are the same race after all, with this, Hu Li can be said to be very easy to let those fox captives let down their guard in their hearts.

Then he almost inquired about all the things that those fox people knew, and then compiled the information it got into a report and sent it to Xia Qi's eyes.

Xia Qi was undoubtedly satisfied with the results sent by Hu Li, but the content made him really unhappy.

According to the report, there are multiple orc races in the bitter cold lands.

As far as the fox people know, there are the fox people, the werewolf people, and a very powerful tribe, and their leader is called the Great Chief.

But what race this big chief is, these fox people don't know.

As soon as he heard the title of "Great Chief", Xia Qi subconsciously thought of the guy Duoduo, who was also called the Great Chief at the beginning.

But Duoduo is a lion and cannot be found in the bitter cold.

As for why those fox people appeared in the camp of Great Xia and stole the food in the camp.

That's because the elders of their tribe had cheated the werewolves out of a lot of food, and the werewolves were eager to break their necks.

Although the fox tribe has a numerical advantage, they are no match at all in the face of werewolves, so they can only flee and inadvertently, come to the vicinity of Rowling's camp.

After this report, Xia Qi generally knew the situation in the bitter cold land now, which was more complicated than he imagined.

It seems that I still have to send some more troops!

In this case, he would have to send more troops.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Qi immediately wrote a warrant and sent it to the greedy wolf city where the werewolf clan was located, ordering Richard to transfer two hundred double-sword war wolves to come.

Immediately, Xia Qi leaned back on the office chair and thought for a while.

Although this bitter cold land is rich in mineral resources, it seems that it is not easy to gnaw now.

Great Xia currently has two fronts, one in the south and one in the north, and unlike the bitter cold land that was blocked, the southern expeditionary army is much smoother.

During this time, the Southern Expeditionary Army was constantly transporting natives to the Great Xia side, and by now, the number of natives transported had exceeded 10,000.

The territorial distance between the orc tribes is not too far from each other, and the transfer of troops in Greedy Wolf City almost immediately attracted Hu Li's attention.

Then it rolled its eyes, and as soon as the troops of Greedy Wolf City left, Hu Li wrote a letter of request and sent it to Great Xia City.

Looking at the letter of request in his hand, Xia Qi didn't expect that Hu Li, who had always been well versed in "Gou", would take the initiative to ask him for his life this time and go to the bitter cold land.

In addition, Hu Li also deliberately stated in this petition that their fox tribe and the northern fox people are both fox people, and they can help persuade the other fox people to submit.

This is also reasonable, plus this is the first time that the fox clan has taken the initiative to ask for help, and Xia Qi is not easy to refuse, so he agreed to Hu Li's request.

After thinking about it in his heart, Xia Qijia sent three hundred red fox archers over.

After all, the increase in the number of troops in the camp at the front means that the food and supplies he needs to supply regularly must also increase.

Every month, a large amount of food is transported to the camp in the bitter cold.

This is a long-term burden, and it may even last for several years, so it must be kept within a limit that he can afford.

The time of the month was quickly approaching the middle of the month, and according to Xia Qi's meaning, the grain transport team set off half a month in advance, and the two hundred swift wolf warriors and three hundred red fox archers who were mobilized also rushed to the bitter cold land with the grain transport team.

The matter on this side can be said to have come to an end temporarily, and what Xia Qi is more concerned about at this time is actually the development project of the mountains and forests in the north.

As a last resort, Xia Qi had no choice but to increase the wages of the workers, which pulled up the enthusiasm of the workers again.

In addition, Xia Qi also asked craftsmen to install railings in several more dangerous areas on the side of the mountain city to prevent any more workers from falling off the cliffs from dangerous areas.

He didn't want to, because of a little accident, his whole big plan could not be carried out.

At the same time, after thinking about it, Xia Qi issued a decree ordering that construction should not be carried out in special areas when it rains.

To be honest, Xia Qi is already a relatively benevolent monarch.

If you change to a grumpy player, you won't have to raise your wages and install railings, but send a team of overseers, and if you see someone who doesn't work, you will whip a few lashes first.

If there is a bird, it would be even better, just behead it for public display, and then hang its head up, so that those workers dare not work.

This method is very simple and crude, and at the same time, it is very efficient in the short term.

But Xia Qi is a person who likes to take a long-term view, and that kind of radical approach will inevitably arouse public anger and plant the root cause.

This point is full of the consequences of this in the history of China.

Great Qin, Great Sui, Great Yuan, cattle or not?

It was not because of the persecution of the people that it led to the peasants to revolt and overthrow the glorious dynasty.

For Xia Qi at this time, it was the time when he needed to concentrate on development, and he was not in the mood to calm down the civil strife.

Therefore, when facing his own people, he basically adopts a policy of gentleness.

In fact, after the implementation of this series of measures and policies, all over the country praised his voice.

However, this is just the opinion of the people of Great Xia.

Xia Qi had hundreds of appointments in his hands, and ordered to use the heads of enemy soldiers to establish the existence of Jingguan.
