Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Zhou Xu's thoughts flowed smoothly. He quickly finished writing the reward for the southern troops and signaled the messenger to take it to the southern border.

"Has General Jie arrived?"

"Yes, he's waiting in the side hall."

Zhou Xu nodded, then stood up and walked towards the side hall.

Before he entered, Zhou Xu saw Jie Liancheng sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a snack in his hand and putting it into his mouth. He really had no pressure at all.

But when he saw Zhou Xu coming in, Jie Liancheng immediately became more serious, stood up and saluted, and went through the formalities.

"General Jie Liancheng, I pay my respects to His Majesty!"

"General, please don't be polite."

After signaling Jie Liancheng to be polite, Zhou Xu turned around and gave an order to Silk.

"Silk, go and guard the door. I have something to talk to the general about."

"Yes!"

As soon as Silk left and the door of the side hall was closed, Jie Liancheng disappeared.

"Fuck, Hongxu, you are great. Black Moon City is developing. Let me take Aju and Qihu here later!"

"Okay, I will arrange a team to go to Xianyang to take them here, and then arrange a house for them in the city."

With just one sentence from Zhou Xu, the house was arranged for him. It was not a big deal at all.

Not only because of the brotherhood between the two of them, but also because of Jie Liancheng's contribution to their Great Zhou.

Just the body-building fist developed by Jie Liancheng is enough for Zhou Xu to keep giving him houses.

After quickly talking about the relocation of his wife and children, Jie Liancheng was not vague and talked to Zhou Xu directly about business.

"Tell me, how to deal with the matter of Lord Ma?"

"In fact, I have already written what I want to say in the letter. You know the Xianzhen Camp. It is my trump card unit. Among all the troops in our Great Zhou, the requirements for the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp are the highest. They are all selected from the best. My requirement for them is an all-round heavy armored unit!"

Zhou Xu did not hide anything from Jie Liancheng and spoke directly.

"Thanks to the high-intensity training, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp have no problem with physical fitness, but the quality of the war horses is not enough."

"As the mount of a heavy armored unit, the existing war horses are too weak. While limiting the speed of the charge, it also makes the Xianzhen Iron Cavalry only have the power of one strike in many cases."

"Regarding this issue, I have discussed it with the person in charge of training war horses in our Great Zhou..."

While speaking, Zhou Xu briefly relayed the content of his discussion with Ma Guotao to Jie Liancheng.

"So now our idea is to either eliminate the heavy armored cavalry and completely transform the Xianzhen Camp into a heavy armored infantry unit, and no longer use it as a cavalry force."

"Or solve the problem of war horses, and use the drop of blood of the extraordinary creature to cultivate a beast-level or even extraordinary-level war horse, and then use that war horse for breeding, and solve the war horse problem of the Xianzhen Camp through continuous breeding."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xu paused.

"Even if it is only at the level of exotic beasts, once this kind of warhorse is cultivated and bred in large quantities, not only the trap camp, but all the cavalry units of our Great Zhou army will be comprehensively improved!"

"Apart from the high cost, the only shortcoming of heavy armored cavalry is mobility."

"Old Jie, think about it, once there are exotic beast-level warhorses, the shortcoming of mobility is made up, then how strong will our Great Zhou heavy armored cavalry's dominance on the cold weapon battlefield be?"

When Zhou Xu talked about this topic, his emotions unconsciously brought a bit of excitement.

"Not only on the cold weapon battlefield, even in the era of firearms, the heavy armored cavalry equipped with exotic beast warhorses can still suppress firearms such as matchlock guns and flintlock guns!"

For the cold weapon battlefield, Jie Liancheng is naturally not unfamiliar. It is completely imaginable how strong the suppression of heavy armored cavalry without the shortcoming of mobility is.

Even if we do not form heavy armored cavalry, but use exotic beast warhorses to form normal light armored cavalry, it can also bring more terrifying advance speed and charging ability to the cavalry!

In the long run, this is related to the improvement of their entire Great Zhou military strength.

"Eat that drop of blood essence, and you will die if you fail?"

Zhou Xu had already said this in the letter, but Jie Liancheng couldn't help but confirm it again.

"For now, it is true."

Zhou Xu nodded and gave an answer, but he didn't forget to add another sentence.

"This time, I came here to let Lord Ma try and see if Lord Ma dares to take the initiative to eat that drop of blood essence."

Zhou Xu explained a little about this matter.

"Blood essence is the essence of life of extraordinary creatures, and it also contains the breath of extraordinary creatures. At the horse farm, let alone ordinary war horses, even the blood horses like the horse king will want to run away just by smelling the smell."

"This also makes me roughly judge that war horses that dare not take the initiative to eat blood essence have no chance of success."

"So if the horse king is unwilling to eat it at that time, then forget it."

After all, the horse king saved Jie Liancheng's life on the battlefield. Zhou Xu also knows how much his brother likes the horse king. In the case of a high probability of no play, Zhou Xu does not intend to gamble with the horse king's life.

"Of course, if the horse king is willing to eat and succeeds, then the horse king will definitely stay at the horse farm for the next few years."

"We have to wait until we have successfully bred a new breed of war horse and ensured that the new breed of war horse has reached a certain scale and can be stably bred internally before we can consider changing it to a racecourse for breeding on a regular basis."

Jie Liancheng could understand Zhou Xu's words and was mentally prepared at the same time.

After all, once the horse prince successfully digests the essence and blood and becomes a strange beast or extraordinary creature, its breeding value in the Great Zhou Dynasty will completely overwhelm its value as a war horse on the battlefield.

Under such circumstances, they would never allow Lord Ma to make any mistakes.

Just like Zhou Xu's first bloody horse, he never let it go to the battlefield once from beginning to end.

After quickly finishing the business conversation and confirming the matter with Xie Liancheng, Zhou Xu had no intention of nagging.

"We will go to the grassland horse farm together tomorrow morning. Before that..."

While talking, Zhou Xu called Hilke in and confirmed the number of documents delivered in the afternoon.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in the afternoon. I have to finish some work before departure. I'll call someone to take you around the city."

In this regard, Xie Liancheng also expressed his understanding.

Although Zhou Xu now has Huo Qubing and Li Bowen as his right-hand men, who assist him in handling daily government affairs, they also allow him to leave the palace appropriately and do other things.

But before you go, the things that should be arranged and done must be arranged and done well, instead of suddenly disappearing.
