The curtain door of the cloth curtain was tightly closed, and the skylight was open on the top of the large tent. It was noon, and the golden sunlight fell from the ceiling, shining on the yellowed scroll map, like an ancient dense scroll that has been circulating for hundreds of years.

In fact, this map has just been drawn, and the material is the latest bark paper produced by the capital city in the lake. Bark paper is sturdy and durable, but has a high lignin content and always has an oxidized yellow color. Even after bleaching, the white color of the paper does not last long under sunlight.

Hearing His Highness's words, the three cronies gathered around at the same time, looked at the yellowish map together, and fell into deep thought.

The map is spread out, and the area is huge. The map is centered on two rivers, and outlines the place in the lake of Mikancho. On the map, graphic symbols are densely depicted and carefully marked with different colors. Brown is cascading mountains, representing landforms; blue is long rivers, representing water systems; cyan is dense forests, representing vegetation. And black is the town of Tarrasco, representing the settlement.

Around the settlements, there are four colored symbols and numbers, which mark different political and military forces. East and due north are blue, symbolizing the friendly Union of Mexica and the city-state of Ottopan. The southeast is green, symbolizing neutral Mistec and Zapotec. The northwest and extreme west are yellow, symbolizing the unknown attitudes of the Guamar and the Northern Tecos tribes. The center of the map, the extreme east and southwest, is a dazzling red, symbolizing the hostile kingdom of Tarasco, the Tlaxcala Federation, and the Nantec tribe.

At this time, His Highness's palm firmly held the southwest corner of the map. It was the red Nantes tribe, the forested state of Colima! Next to the prominent blood-red mark, there is a black triangle that is heavily drawn, but I don't know what it means.

Shirot smiled and looked around the tent. He took the generals' expressions in his heart and waited patiently.

This is the shape of the military map in his reference memory. It took a few months to make a Mikan but military map specially. Since he obtained the surrender of Tarasco from all over the country, he has selected special candidates, collected a large number of scouts' intelligence, and established a working group for compiling maps. In addition to geographic information and military intelligence, population estimates, agricultural production, and mineral development in various places will be recorded in the map one by one.

In Shilott's plan, this map will expand from Mikan to the entire world, from a single map to a detailed atlas. Subsequently, it will further expand to the entire Americas, and even the entire world, becoming a military weapon for the successive Mexica monarchs to govern the country, expand the territory, unite vertical and horizontal, and conquer indisputable subjects!

Toltek looked at the map carefully for a long time, only to feel that the dense markings were like beating tadpoles, and he was dizzy when he looked straight at it. So, he was the first to ask.

"Your Highness, this is the Southwest Mountains, Colima?"

Shirot nodded slightly.

"Exactly! The only thing I'm worried about is that Su Angua fled to the southwest mountains, and the rest of the directions are fine."

"His Royal Highness, why is this? I heard from the business traveler that the mountains in the southwest are sparsely populated, remote and barren, surrounded by thousands of mountains on top of each other, and the mouths of smoky demons are everywhere. Hundreds of Tecos The tribes built villages in the mountains to farm and hunt, and they were destitute. They fought each other for a little mountain field and a few mouths of water. And further west, there was only a vast and boundless lake."

Having said this, Toltec scratched his head and continued to ask in confusion.

"In a barren and barren place like this, if Suangua leads the army to flee, there is no cotton cloth, no food, no weapons or soldiers, and he will have to fight with the local tribes. After staying for a few months, I am afraid that he will starve to death. , poor and poor! If he goes to the powerful Tlaxcala in the east, or the wealthy Mistec in the south, wouldn’t he be a greater threat to the alliance?”

Sherlot gave Ai General an admiring look and said with a smile.

"Toltek, I haven't seen you for two months, but I want to open my eyes to see you again. Yes, you can speak well, it seems that you have been working very hard recently! ... Su Angua led an unknown number of royal legions, There are tens of thousands of people, and there are not many places to go. The most likely way is to return to the capital, avoid us and enter the city, or take the initiative to fight us!"

"In all other directions, Tlaxcala in the east is too far away and does not have a border with Tarasco. The Mistec in the south is nominally a vassal of the Alliance. The Mistec leader may be secretly connected with Tarasco, but They will never directly accept the king of the opponent, or even let the legions of the opponent enter. More importantly, these areas are under the front of the alliance, and they will face the crusade of the army at any time!"

"There is only Colima State in the southwestern mountains! It is the southwestern border of the Tarasco Kingdom, more than 1,300 miles away from the capital city in the lake, and 500 to 600 miles away from the city of Qin Congcan. Conquest, the guerrilla enemy is difficult to find, and the advantage of the defending side will be doubled. The alliance is beyond the reach of it, and it is impossible to maintain such a long food route. If Su Angua can be resolute, he will definitely give up the capital and go straight to this place. That is the wolf entering the forest, and it really becomes a big problem for the alliance!"

Bertard pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"The terrain of the Colima Mountains is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To the north through the Leman River, it can connect to Lake Chapala. To the east along the tributaries of the Tulsa River, it can communicate with all parts of the southern part of the kingdom. The royal family of Tarasco It has been passed down for two hundred years, and it has branches in various states. It has a great influence. If Suangua was exiled here and reorganized the Tarasco Kingdom, the rebellions in the land of the lake would be one after another, and it would not be able to subside in a few years!"

The subordinate general Ezpan remained silent until he spoke coldly.

"His Royal Highness, the people at the bottom believe in the three gods and obey the guidance of the priests. The influence of the royal family is mainly among the nobles in various places. If the three gods can be absorbed into the main gods and subordinate gods, and then the low-level priests in various places can be included, the situation in the countryside can be stabilized. Next..."

Speaking of this, Ezpan's eyes flickered with cold light, his eyes showed fierce killing intent, and he slowly made a gesture of cutting his neck.

"Sever all the gods! Kill all the nobles completely, and the land in the lake will be completely owned by His Royal Highness!"

Hearing Ezpan's words, Bertard looked surprised, but Toltec laughed heartily.

"Okay, very good! The hunting of wolves requires skill. First, exile all the nobles and move them to other places. If anyone dares to disobey, they will be executed. And when they leave the ground, life and death are nothing but His Highness's thoughts. between!"

Bertard shook his head slightly. He looked at the young king and returned to the issue.

"The nobles control the warriors, militias and manors, and they need to be careful when handling them... Your Highness, if Suangua abandons his foundation and goes to the southwest, can he gain a foothold in the Colima Mountains?"

Shilot pondered for a while, then nodded affirmatively.

"The Kingdom of Tarasco has been operating in the Nantes for a long time. In this westward expedition, a large number of Tecos warriors were encountered on both the north and the south. The captured tribal leaders also explained clearly that the tribes outside Colima have been captured. The kingdom was conquered. The Tarasco royal family also exchanged marriages with leaders from all over the world, made appointments with relatives, and entered into covenants, which have a great potential influence.”

"If Suangua can lead the legion to the southwest, he will be able to fully inherit the kingdom's management. Most tribes will not be able to resist, and it is difficult to compete with him. Although the Colima Mountains have a small population, they can provide 10,000 people. Samurai, 20,000 militiamen. As for the food to feed the legion, he can get supplies from the rich Chapala Lake District in the north, or secretly collude with the great nobles of Tarrasco in the south. The mountain fields can also be planted with coarse grains. As for weapons. .."

Shulot paused and smiled meaningfully.

"As long as there is a heart, Colima can produce the best weapons."

After listening to His Highness's analysis, the three generals were silent for a while. After a while, it was Toltek who spoke first.

"His Royal Highness, will Suangua really choose to give up the capital? Tarasco's ancestral tombs, royal palaces, and inheritance of gods are all here!"

"It depends on what kind of person Su Angua is and how far he has vision."

Shirott smiled, and suddenly became interested. He patted the shoulders of the three civilian generals intimately, and then talked about the secret past of the alliance.

"Bottard, Toltec, Ezpan, you are all my right-hand men. Some of the alliance's hidden history, I can tell you about it, I hope you can think about it. You must know that the early three heroes of the Three Cities Alliance Among them, one is the ancestor of Texcoco, the great poet-king Coyot Nezabal. The poet-king has an outstanding reputation in his life, is brave and good at fighting, and is recognized by the Union as a 'poet', a 'wise man' and a 'believer'. ."

"In fact, in the secret inheritance of the royal family, the poet-king has gone through Isco Atel, Montezuma I, and Asaya Cartel, and is the most feared ally, important minister and prince of three generations of Mexica kings. He restrained Forbearance, always able to wait patiently for the current situation; flexible means, but able to make ruthless decisions at critical moments; long-term vision, never caring about short-term gains and losses.”

Shirot's eyes were a little dark. Under the ruthless clean-up of the elders, the successor Prince Texcoco has been executed, and the Nezabal family has since become extinct. In the not too distant future, Coyote will also be completely wiped from the epic, erased from all traces.

"In the secret biography of the royal family, the early history of the Alliance of the Three Cities is recorded. More than sixty years ago, the Tepanek people firmly ruled the Mexica Valley. They controlled many city-states, their military power reached its peak, and then they dispatched several Ten thousand warriors captured the prosperous city of Texcoco. Fifteen-year-old Coyot escaped and went into exile in the southeast of Vesochenko. He spent four years in exile to rebuild his army. Then, in At the age of nineteen, the poet-king went alone to the capital of the lake, where he secretly met with his predecessor, Isco Atel, and organized an alliance against the Tepanek. At that time, the other two of the three heroes, the great Monte The king of Suma and the immortal elder are both the nephews of the former emperor and the young generals of the city-state."

"Then, Coyot lived in exile for another five years. While he was dispatched to many city-states to expand the anti-Tepanek alliance, he returned to Texcoco several times to expand the strength of resistance. Five years later, Xian Junyi Skoatl took the lead in raising his army, and the poet-king joined in accordance with the covenant, and together they conquered the capital of the Vatpaneks, Askapotzalco on the west bank of Lake Texcoco."

"In the following months, more than a dozen surrounding city-states responded to the alliance and organized a three-way army of 100,000 soldiers to crusade the unscrupulous Tepanek people. Many Tepanek vassals remained neutral. Less than a year Time, the former hegemony of the world, the Tepanek Alliance was destroyed. The Tri-City Alliance was proclaimed, inheriting the rule of the Mexican Valley, and heading towards the road of rise promised by the Lord God. And the exiled poet King Coyote finally died in ten years. He returned to his hometown with honor. He recovered the city-state of Texcoco, restored the glory of his ancestors, and even became one of the three kings who ruled side by side in the early days of the Three Cities Alliance."

After Shirott finished telling the story, he showed a gentle smile. He looked at the shocked crowd and said word by word.

"Although the alliance has great martial arts, the country has only been established for more than fifty years. The foundation of the country is not yet solid, and there are hidden worries everywhere. Before this western expedition, the elders met with Avit and me, leaving the only purpose: In order to avoid future troubles, The Tarrasco royal family must be extinct, and all male heirs must be put to death!"

The crowd stared at each other for a moment, then nodded in understanding. The Tarasco royal family is mainly concentrated in the capital, so Qin Congcan must conquer. The noble nobles have always been married to the royal family, and the large noble manors of the states also need to be cleaned up. Next, the king who led the legion, Suangua.

Shulot closed his eyes, thought for a few breaths, and opened them suddenly. He stretched out his finger again and poked hard at Ivacchio, the southernmost part of the Patzcuaro Lake District, in the southern hinterland of Tarrasco. It was a prosperous and rich copper mining city and a trading capital without walls.

"I'm determined to let the royal capital go for a while, and the legion will go further south! Gather the warriors of all armies and prepare food for January. The main force of the army will immediately move southward, bypassing the fortified Patzcuaro, and attacking the wealthy Ivacio! Qin Congcan is 50 kilometers away from the south, and the traffic is very convenient. The army must control this place, and then continue to move forward, blocking the main road of Suangua and retreating to the southwest!"

Shilot made a decision. His eyes were bright, he looked at the generals in the tent, and ordered loudly.

"Bertard~www.readwn.com~ You go and gather the commanders of all the ministries and convey the order to go south. Toltec, I will give you three thousand warriors, as the vanguard of the army! Remember, march quickly, be careful, and do not loot and stay! Egypt! Zipan, dispatch a group of descendants who are familiar with the terrain, and then give you two hundred Jaguars and five hundred of the most elite scouts to form a reconnaissance battalion. Dozens of reconnaissance teams scattered hundreds of miles in all directions to search for the traces of the royal army. !"

The young commander had a serious expression and determined the behavior of the army. The generals bowed and saluted at the same time, bowing their heads and accepting orders. Finally, Shirot stretched out his palm, slashed forward with force, and shouted in a deep voice.

"When the army of the South Road arrives and the two sides attack, the kingdom of Tarasco will come to an end! If Suangua dares to fight head-on, we will set the world in one battle!"

The crowd looked at each other for a few breaths, and then responded with a bang. On the second day, the 16,000 Mexican legions set off quickly, turning into a majestic torrent and heading southwest. Scattered scouts, like skynets, searched for Tarrasco's eagles. And the newly born sun is high above the sky, waiting for the lofty sacrifice to fly!
