Hawk looked at the two people who were not sure about it and explained: "In the depths of the grassland, there are several large tribes that divide the pastures, one of which is the Arata tribe, and Shinar is the son of the leader of the Arata tribe."

"Realistically speaking, people from large tribes like them should not bother to hang out with horse thieves."

When Zhou Tong and Hake heard this, they both felt a sudden heart. They were both smart people and soon they came to their senses.

Zhou Tong: "With disdain, he still robbed food with the horse thief, which may mean that the other party has to do so."

Hack then said, "The reason why he had to do it is probably the previous blizzard that made the Arata tribe difficult, right?"

Zhou Tong nodded, "There is insufficient food, so he must come out to rob the grain, otherwise someone in the tribe would starve to death."

Hawke also said: "It's not just that. The large tribes that were supposed to be deep in the grassland have appeared here at this moment. This shows that the large tribes are migrating to the south. Now the people from the Alatha tribe have appeared.

What about the other tribes?”

After hearing this, Zhou Tong and Hake's expressions instantly became solemn.

If the people from those tribes united together, it would probably be a big threat to Daxia!

They had limited knowledge of things on the grassland before, so they naturally didn't notice it. After hearing Hawke's words, Zhou Tong and Hawke undoubtedly saw the signs.

Needless to say, just write an urgent report to Daxia City.

In addition to reporting on the hidden dangers of the grassland tribe, the casualties here naturally have to be reported.

From Canglang Tribe to Daxia City, it was a long journey. In addition, the weather was harsh and the wind and snow were blocked by the wind and snow along the way. By the time the urgent report was sent to Daxia City, it was already ten days later.

After reading the battle report, Xia Qi made another big joy in his heart, and it disappeared in an instant.

"Tsk!"

In the office hall, looking at Xia Qi's gloomy face, something must have happened in the hearts of everyone present.

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and asked Xia Qi: "Your Majesty, is something happening?"

"Look at it for yourself."

Zhang Liang took the urgent report and his expression changed as soon as he saw the content.

Xia Qi looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Xuanxiong, Bailang, Pan and others came to the palace to discuss matters."

Xia Qi reported several names, among which Xiong was the head of the guard of the Daxia Palace, Pan was responsible for defending Daxia City, and Bailang was the serious leader of the Central Army. The three of them were Xia Qi's confidants.

The main hall where the office hall is located is divided into two layers: the inner and outer layers, the inner layers are office, and the outer layers are discussed with the ministers.

After learning that Xia Qi was about to see them, a group of people did not dare to delay, so they quickly put down their official duties and walked into the palace of Xia Qi.

The civil officials and military generals were divided into two rows. After everyone arrived, Xia Qi handed over the urgent report to everyone to circulate.

"Okay, everyone tell me what you think, right? Zhang Liang, come first."

Zhang Liang was the first of these people to see this urgent report, and it is understandable that Xia Qi is now named.

Zhang Liang organized some language and then said: "Report to Your Majesty, according to what General Hawke said in this urgent case, the large tribes that were originally staying honestly in the depths of the prairie migrated south due to the blizzard.

The current strength is not enough to be a concern for the previous one or two, but if they are allowed to unite, they may be able to gather tens of thousands of cavalry."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang paused for a moment. When the others heard this number, they also jumped in their hearts.

That was tens of thousands of cavalry, not infantry, which was also a great threat to the current Daxia.

Xia Qi's face was also not very good. If those large tribes really united like Hawk, whether they robbed Daxia's grain transport team or directly invaded Daxia, this was not what Xia Qi wanted to see.

"The food sent to the two grassland cities must be transported, but in this climate where infantry cannot mobilize, the number of cavalry on the other side is even higher than us. This..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang had already felt a clear headache. After rectifying his thoughts, he silently raised two fingers.

"The only way that I can think of is now

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Two, but neither of them is a good idea.”

"Speak quickly."

After getting Xia Qi's permission, Zhang Liang spoke slowly.

"The first method is to change the grain transport route and divide the troops and transport grain. The large number of grain transport teams are too loud and cannot be discovered. Under this premise, reduce the number of people to two or three hundred riders.

For a team, change the grain transport route at the same time. Although it greatly affects the efficiency of grain transport, this method can at least make the movements of the grain transport team more concealed and relatively safe. At the same time, even if a grain transport team is unlucky,

If you were discovered by the grassland people, the losses would not be too heavy."

After talking about the first method, Zhang Liang breathed a little relieved and also confirmed Xia Qi's reaction.

Xia Qi, who was sitting in the main seat at this time, looked thoughtful, obviously thinking about the method Zhang Liang had just mentioned.

"The decrease in efficiency will cause many people in the two grassland cities to starve to death due to insufficient food. Moreover, if two or three hundred teams of cavalry encounter the grassland people of those large tribes, they may have no chance of winning, and even some

The risk of being surrounded and killed.”

Xia Qi saw the flaws of this method very thoroughly. Just as Zhang Liang said at first, this is indeed not a good idea, it can only be said to be a method.

After thinking for a while, Xia Qi decided to listen to Zhang Liang's second solution first and then make a decision.

"What is the second solution?"

"The second way for Weichen is to temporarily abandon the two grassland cities and transfer all the people and resources in the city to Daxia."

As soon as this method was spoken out, everyone in the Hall of Political Affairs was shocked, and the Minister of Engineering immediately couldn't sit still.

Grassland City is the name inside Daxia, but in fact it is still two tribes.

Because the grass in a pasture is limited, they have to live with water and grass. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to, at least it is impossible for them to settle down now.

In this case, their camp walls are just low walls surrounded by wood, and their living places are also tents. The purpose of this is naturally to change the pasture without wasting too much time.

But should we choose a site to move them to Daxia? Should we build cities and houses?

The two tribes have tens of thousands of people in total, which is a big project.

Moreover, the main task of the two tribes is to provide war horses for Daxia.

Under this premise, they will no longer stay in Daxia for a long time, that is, if the city is built in time, it may be abandoned in the future.

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is inappropriate!"

While speaking, the Minister of Engineering stood up.

"The total population of the two grassland cities has been added together, with tens of thousands of people! How can the whole person be transferred? And now the road is covered with heavy snow. During the transfer process, he died of starvation due to severe cold and disease along the way.

How should the people appease them? What if they were attacked by horse thieves halfway through and there were a large number of casualties?"

"In this process, a large amount of dissatisfaction among the people will accumulate. Moreover, even if the transfer is successful, the resettlement of these people is a big problem. I wonder if Secretary-General Zhang has considered these."

The old minister made a big splash, and in short, whoever adds engineering volume to their engineering department will be his enemy.

"Compared with the risk of food transportation tasks that lasted for two or three months, large-scale personnel transfers, although in the short term, the people may suffer losses and even casualties. However, there are cavalry escorts along the way, and there are mammoths in front of them to open the way.

, all can be transferred in one month at most."

Faced with the questioning of the Minister of Engineering, Zhang Liang began to explain without any haste.

"Once the transfer is successful, my cavalry unit in Daxia will no longer need to be tired of transporting food, which is equivalent to getting out. At that time, according to the equipment advantages of my cavalry and well-trained, even if it is matched.

The larger number of grassland cavalry also has a great chance of winning."

To be honest, Xia Qi did not agree with these two suggestions.

Both of Zhang Liang's suggestions were based on military issues, but did not consider the large number of government affairs problems caused by this.

Just as the Minister of Engineering said.

How should tens of thousands of people appease the two grassland cities and place them after they are transferred?

At the same time

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

How should this big move be calculated?

After a large amount of resources spent, the income was insufficient and the allocation was imbalanced. How should the impact on the cities, major departments and factories within Daxia be handled?

What if something unexpected happens and emergency resources cannot be drawn?

Zhang Liang just told these things that the old minister's liver began to hurt.

Zhang Liang's method is indeed very good, but it will also cause great problems.

This kind of war can be won, but Daxia's internal affairs and production collapse!

After all, Daxia is still a little small now.

At best, the current Daxia is equivalent to the slightly larger Fang Kingdom during the Chinese Shang Dynasty.

Faced with the quarrel between the two, the others were all "no me" in their attitude.

"Okay!"

Xia Qi waved his hand and stopped the two people who were still arguing.

"Go back and think about it!"

Surprisingly, Xia Qi finally chose the first plan.
