Chapter 1103 Valley of the Kings
Qu Mao didn't intend to stay in the second security city for too long. Most likely, he just walked through the area of the second security city and then went directly to the Valley of the Kings.
However, the area with a diameter of nearly 400 kilometers is not an existence that Qu Mao can come in and then go out if he wants to. Accompanied by Zhang Da, Qu Mao's team took a shortcut, and it took two days and two nights to get out Leaving the scope of the second fortified city, and leaving the area of the second fortified city through another pass.
Zhang Da did not continue to accompany Qu Mao, but began to deploy the garrison to defend the independent territory, preparing to replace as many garrison heroes as possible and return to the Holy Land to participate in the mid-year summary meeting.
Walking for another day and night, in the early morning of June 23rd in the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao led the team to the east pass of the Valley of the Kings of the Red Leaf Principality.
The Valley of the Kings is a narrow and long valley running from east to west, with a length of about 200 kilometers from east to west, but only about 60 kilometers at its widest point from north to south.
Qu Mao looked up at the tall pass at the pass east of the Valley of the Kings, and then walked into the pass under the guidance of Sophie Trani.
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the one who proposed the construction of the Valley of the Kings, it is the Ministry of Administration who is responsible for the construction and implementation. Because the Valley of the Kings is too narrow and long, there is not just a wall at each end, but a wall at each end. There is a Guancheng.
The east-west direction of Guancheng is about 2 kilometers, but the length will stretch for about 20 kilometers, reaching the cliffs on the north and south sides of the canyon.
In addition, the gates at both ends of the gate can only open east-west. As long as the gates on both sides are closed, the guard soldiers in the gate can prevent a large number of people from entering the Valley of the Kings from outside, and naturally prevent a large number of people from the Valley of the Kings from overflowing. "
Qu Mao nodded, and followed Sophie Trani into the Dongguan City, but Qu Mao did not accept Sophie Trani's suggestion to rest in the City Lord's Mansion, but walked all the way to the side near the Valley of the Kings. Close the wall and walk up the city wall.
Sophie Trani had no choice but to accompany Qu Mao up the wall, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, Dongguan City is 21 kilometers from north to south, and 2 kilometers from east to west. The area of the city is 42 square kilometers, and there are 300,000 guards stationed there." Army soldiers, 20,000 magic army soldiers.
Xiguan City is also stationed with 300,000 garrison soldiers, but a full 30,000 magic army soldiers are stationed. Of course, Xiguan City is 27 kilometers from north to south and 2 kilometers from east to west. The urban area has reached 54 square kilometers.
The Valley of the Kings is basically the area enclosed by the East Gate City, the West Gate City, and two majestic cliffs in the north and south. Although it is not enough to completely block people, it is definitely not possible for large groups of people to pass through. "
Qu Mao nodded. He wanted a war horse, so he rode on the inner city wall of Dongguan City. After running for two hours, Qu Mao returned to the place where he climbed the city wall at the beginning, got off his horse, and said: "Dongguan City and Xiguan City can't be completely stationed by soldiers, and some residents have to be considered to relocate appropriately. In the early days, the families of the soldiers stationed will be the main ones."
Su Yan said: "My lord, at present, within the thousands of square kilometers in the Valley of the Kings, there are only 9 royal families, including all the royal families that we obtained independent territory through persuasion, and the royal family offshoots that were not completely wiped out in the war of extermination.
Nine royal families, the largest number of royal family members, servants and guards is 30,000, and the smallest is only 700 people. Currently, there are no soldiers and residents from our Yihou territory living in the entire Valley of the Kings except for East Gate City and West Gate City.
Even these 9 royal families are mostly concentrated in the middle of the Valley of the Kings, which is nearly a hundred kilometers away from Dongguan City and Xiguan City.
In the area of the Valley of the Kings, our troops have repeatedly sorted out the mountains and mountains on the north and south sides, except for a few people with excellent skills who have the ability to pass, most of them cannot pass easily.
The subordinates are worried that after they run out of food, a war for food will break out..."
Qu Mao asked: "How long has it been since the first royal family entered the Valley of the Kings? Did you evaluate the food supply time they carried?"
Zhen Fu said: "My lord, since this Valley of the Kings was proposed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, my subordinates know that basically every royal family enters the area designated for them by the Valley of the Kings. They supplemented enough food for more than three years.
The first royal family to live in has only been in the past for less than a month. "
Zhao Pan asked: "Sir, do you need to arrange for troops to take you to the inside of the Valley of the Kings?"
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "I want to go in and have a look, but I'm running out of time."
Zhao Pan smiled and said, "My lord, there is actually nothing to see.
All the royal families who are stationed are only allowed to be equipped with servants and guards according to the number of royal family members on a one-to-one basis.
When our soldiers combed the valley, we found that there were no large beasts, and the houses and cultivated land needed to be reclaimed by themselves. Even if the royal family members brought all their personal belongings in, there was basically nowhere to use them.
As for them wanting to fight to death inside, the subordinates think we can completely ignore it.
They need to build their own houses and grow their own food. Their subordinates think that they don't have enough energy to kill each other, and it is not easy to survive.
Even if there are mountains of gold and silver treasures, I am afraid they will not be able to buy enough supplies for them to live. "
Qu Mao glanced at Su Yan and Zhen Fu, then at Zhao Pan, and said, "You don't have to be so harsh on the royal family who surrendered to us, you see." Qu Mao pointed to the area in the Valley of the Kings.
"After the family members and aborigines of the garrison in Dongguan City and Xiguan City move here, we can consider building a market without city walls about 5 kilometers away from Guancheng, so that the royal family in the Valley of the Kings can come to trade supplies.
The cultivated land of the residents of our Dongguan City and Xiguan City is placed outside the Valley of the Kings, which can be regarded as opening up some ways to make money for the residents who migrated to Dongguan City and Xiguan City. "
Su Yan nodded, and said: "Yes, my lord, I will discuss this matter with Qiao Er and Master Zhang Da when I turn around, try to hold a market once a month, and notify the Beidao Chamber of Commerce by the way."
Qu Mao said: "There is no need to kill all members of the royal family in the follow-up war of extermination of the country. At least some of the royal family members can be kept. These thousands of square kilometers of prisons are too small for the number of people."
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, before returning to the Holy Land for a meeting, arrange soldiers to notify the royal family members in the Valley of the Kings to open a market once a month."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Let's set it on the 15th of each month. From August onwards, we will also regularly inspect the mountains and mountains to prevent people from fleeing."
