Aztec Eternals

The sun dipped slightly to the west and slanted down from the zenith, causing the map to glow with a yellow halo. The seemingly outdated map was actually drawn not long ago. On this, the mountains and rivers of the world are drawn, the various city-states, and the latest scout information of the Alliance High Priest Corps and the Kingdom of the Lake is recorded!

At this moment, the black wolf Toltek, the warrior chief Bertard, followed the fingers of His Highness, and looked at the same time: I saw a long blue scar, from the Atoyake Lake far south of the purple grass city, all the way. Extend, cross the mountains and canyons for thousands of miles upstream, and go straight to the south of Shuigu City, the camp of the South Road Legion!

"The Tulsa River is such a long river in the mountains! It's just, unfortunately, it's only a short distance away, it's only a short distance away!..."

Shirot watched for a long time and sighed regretfully. He stretched out his fingers and groped thinly among the rolling hills in the south of the mountain pass fortress. This dangerous journey between the mountains is like the Three Gorges in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"It's only a two-hundred-mile trek between the mountains, and there's no way to get up and down! The kingdom's transport fleet has to stop here and turn a two-hundred-mile mountain road before reaching the upper reaches of the Tulsa River. Along the western basin, relying on the mountain stream, we can dig a hundred-mile-long canal..."

Hearing this, the black wolf and the samurai chief looked at each other and were at a loss for words.

Since the Eastern Expedition, His Highness has often sighed about the dangerous waterway blocked by the mountains, not once or twice. But all the mountains and rivers in the world are destined by the supreme **** who killed the primitive sea monsters and created the vast land. How is it that ordinary manpower can easily change it?

Bertard pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand to point at the top of the map and explained calmly.

"His Royal Highness, set sail from the south of Zicao City, all the way along the Tulsa River, meandering 800 miles eastward, until the town of 800 miles south of the mountain pass fortress group, can pass the kingdom's galleys and Canoes!"

"Well, not bad! Although the 800-mile voyage is dangerous and narrow, the waterway is generally smooth and can pass unimpeded! This is the lifeline of the kingdom's east!"

Shirot nodded solemnly. His eyes moved to the city of Lithospermum, against the Tulsa River to the east, reading the signs along the way in a low voice.

"From Zicao City to the east along the river, two hundred miles upstream, there is the first Kingdom Army Town. The military town is called 'Two Hundred Towns', and there are thousands of militiamen! The north of Two Hundred Towns is a mountainous area in the east of Zicao County. , and to the south is the mountainous Wetamo state directly under the Union.”

The Tulsas River is one or two thousand miles long, flowing through the hinterland of Central America and connecting the southern parts of the world. And if you want to control this long river, even if it is only 800 miles downstream, you must occupy the dangerous river at intervals and set up outposts and military towns.

For the Southern Army Corps, the significance of this long river is to transport food and armaments from the hinterland of the kingdom to the upstream front, and then from the states of Tlaxcala, to transport the captured Dingkou downstream. In the entire southern part of the world, the mighty waterway of the Tulsa River is the only smooth way through the mountains and mountains, connecting the Western Kingdom and the eastern enemy!

"From the east of the two hundred towns, upstream, and another two hundred miles, there is a second kingdom's army town, namely the 'four hundred towns', with a thousand militiamen! The four hundred towns are located on the edge of the land of Jontar. Two hundred miles to the north is the fief of Prince Iscali, the fortress of Sitacuaro State. And four hundred miles northeast from Sibai Town, is the capital of Raziko State, Tonatico, Sun City!"

Seeing this, Shirot paused slightly, with an inexplicable smile on his face. The black wolf opened his eyes curiously and pointed to the location of Sun City.

"Ah! Sun City? This is the city-state ruled by the Yuyan family? The place where the first king, Asaya Cartel, relied on his powerful abilities to 'sleeping clothes' for a dozen female chiefs?"

"Cough! That's right, it's here. After the first monarch Asaya Cartel conquered the female chiefs here, he not only left behind the blood of the Yuyan family, but also changed the name of Charco City to Sun City, the city of the day.. .He wrote the Song of Spring to commemorate his achievements...And another meaning of Yu Yan is actually the condor representing the sun of the royal family, which can't be concealed from all the royal families... Haha!"

Shilot "coughed" twice, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. In fact, after careful calculation, Mihoti, the head of Yuyan, should be the descendant of the first king, Asaya Cartel, with the blood of the royal family, about the same generation as himself... After a while, the king smiled and continued. Look east.

"Two hundred miles to the east from Sibai Town is the third Kingdom Army Town, the 'Six Hundred Town' that occupies the tin mine, which is the Ta'er Village on the map! The Ta'er Village is located more than 200 miles directly below the Sun City. It controls the important estuary in the lower reaches of the Tulsa River, and is a key place for the kingdom to operate! The kingdom has already stationed 500 warriors here, deployed a thousand militiamen, built wooden stone fortresses, and initially developed tin mines..."

The village of Tal is located in the center of the land of Jontar. It is not only an important estuary area, but also a large tin mine and scattered gold mines. The Kingdom of the Lake has large copper mines, but no surface tin mines. And here is the nearest and easiest tin mine to control.

In order to hand over the village of Ta'er to the Kingdom of the Lake, the high priest secretly used some means to make the original hereditary nobles surrender.

"A hundred miles to the east of Tal Village is another crossing of the Tulsa River. There is a fourth Kingdom Army town, namely 'Seven Hundred Towns'. Seven hundred towns are stationed with 500 warriors to guard against the Tepanic troops. A hundred miles to the south from here is the city-state where the Tepanic people gather, Chilpancingo, Tepazingo, which is the 'Land of the Wasps', the Bee City."

Xiulott stretched out his hand and paused at the position of "Bee City", thinking flashed in his eyes. "Bee City" gathers tens of thousands of Tepanic tribes. If they want to develop the tin mine in Ta'er Village as soon as possible, they still have to collect tribute from here and obtain a small mouth.

"From Qibai Town to the east, it is the fifth military town, which is the 'Babai Town' on the 800-mile waterway from Zicao City. Babai Town is located at the confluence of the Tulsa River and the Salt River. It can be considered as the starting point of the lower reaches of the long river, and also stationed five hundred warriors..."

"From here, along the Salt River, upstream and northward, two hundred miles of water, until the edge of the Salt Lake ... is the capital of Sarkozy, the city-state ruled by the Flower Tree family, Tequesquitengo, Texquitengo, 'produced Salt Lakeshore', Salt Lake City!"

Speaking of "Salt Lake City", a faint smile appeared on Shilot's face. Only, no one in the account can understand. Afterwards, he looked towards the north and pondered.

The so-called "salt lake" and "salt river" are naturally the place rich in salt. Sarkozy not only produces salt, but also has vast farmland and a large population. There is also a large area of ​​cotton planted here, and it is the most prosperous city-state among the three southern states. With the income from salt mines and cotton fields, the Huashu family can even trade bronze weapons from the capital city in the lake.

"Bottard, the upper reaches of the Eight Hundred Towns is a dangerous road of two hundred miles. I remember you said before that you have traveled there yourself?"

"Yes, Your Highness. That was twenty years ago. As a scout, I was ordered by the late Monarch, Montezuma, to scout all the Mistec ministries in the south..."

Bertard's usually quiet face showed a rare nostalgia.

"Going further upstream from Babai Town, the Tulsa River will suddenly rise and turn to the northeast. It will detour two or three hundred miles in the mountains, rise four or five hundred meters, and flow through several dangerous waterfalls and cliff mouths. This section of the dangerous river, I have seen it with my own eyes. The entire section is turbulent, with undulating waterfalls and hidden reefs, and the entire Tulsa River is forcibly divided into upper and lower sections!"

"This dangerous journey in the mountains can only be downstream, not upstream unless it is towed by manpower. Except for the rainy season in midsummer, boats are in danger of hitting the rocks. In midsummer, the current is turbulent, and it is extremely easy for boats, big and small. Overturned! Generally speaking, business travelers who travel from east to west will land on this waterway, circumnavigate the north and south on foot, or start trade nearby."

"And after these two or three hundred miles of dangerous road, the Tarsus River will turn to the northwest and upstream, passing through the mountain fortress of the Mistec people, Chiauitl, Chiauitl, that is, the 'mud village'. !"

Speaking of which, Bertard paused, his expression dignified. He reached out and pointed to the south, with concern in his eyes.

"From the mud marsh village to the north, there is only sixty miles of mountain road, which is the mountain pass fortress group. It is the first important point for the South Road Army to break through. It is the southern edge of the 'mountain state' where we are located, and it is also a must for the army's food road. The distance between the Mire Village and the Water Valley City is only 200 miles... According to the latest scout information, the Mistecs sent thousands of warriors to the Mire Village, the exact number is not yet clear…”

"His Royal Highness, although the Mistec people have not yet declared war on the alliance, they are threatening the food supply of the South Road army. We must be careful and keep heavy troops stationed in the mountain pass fortresses!"

Hearing this, Shirot nodded slowly and replied in a deep voice.

"Well, Bertard, you're right. Most of the 6,000 royal corps that the king gave me have never traveled north, but are still stationed in the mountain pass fortress. They are stationed in the fortress, and there are several thousand militiamen who assist in defense. , it is to protect the food route and beware of the Mistec people who hide their hostility."

Chiauitl means "greasy or muddy mud". From the name, it can be seen that this area is full of silt and difficult to march. And the Mistec people set up a stronghold here, relying on the mountains and swamps, and stationed an unknown number of warriors, which really made the South Road Army feel like a light.

The muddy and dangerous terrain in the muddy village ~www.readwn.com~ is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is neither wise nor practical to want to conquer the Mistec from here. In the face of the threat of being concealed but not revealing, and unable to be removed, Shulot had to separate a legion and garrison at the mountain pass fortress at the rear to protect the army's food route.

"Mistec... East and West ancestral land..."

Shulot looked southwest, through the cascading mountains, and stared at the distant sky. From Shuigu City to the southwest, travel a rugged mountain road for 400 miles, which is the western ancestral land of the Mistec people, Huajuapan, Huahuapan City. Among them, Huaju is a mountain, and apans is a river, which together are the meaning of the name, "mountain and river city"!

"Look! When the old enemy Tlaxcalans are pacified, in a few years, the Mexica Legion will go south! ... And Mountain River City..."

The king lowered his eyes, and his heart ignited a boiling war. The Tulsa River travels thousands of miles, communicating things. And the conquest in the south of the world is destined to start from the long river.

Note: This chapter has been organized for a long time, and it took a long time before. It is a combing of the entire southern map, which is best viewed with reference to the map. There will be a detailed map in the Easter Egg Chapter, and the book circle will also be posted later.
