Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Nine: Borrow Another Fifty Years from Heaven!
The long, cold night passed quietly, and the world of strife did not stop for a moment. The plans of the great nobles were carried out in the low and dirty logistics camp. The only god king camped high on the hill, erecting a ten-meter-high royal flag.
The divine king's royal tent has fluttering feathers and is unusually spacious. It is facing the unstoppable Yunshan City. And under the royal flag and the royal tent, there is a besieging army surrounding the city like an ant nest!
"The rainy season in August is finally over! It's time for my loyal warriors to get active!..."
The god king Avit is wearing a cloak and a long crown with red feathers, like a two-meter-tall god. He puts his hands behind his back and stares at the rising sun in the east. The rising sun reflects his cold face and illuminates his eyes hidden with flames.
, pulling out a long black shadow to the west. And the chief intelligence officer Ying Dagger knelt in his shadow, waiting patiently.
"Haha! These insects in Yunshan City are finally afraid and want to surrender to me?"
"Yes! Your Majesty the God King! The secret guards spent a lot of effort to contact the Mixtec nobles in the city, the two brothers Yun He and Yun Ming... They are both defeated generals of the alliance and beg the God King for forgiveness.
, forgive the descendants of the gods in the clouds... Behind them, it should be the Lord of Yunshan City."
"Their initial condition is: as long as the alliance accepts their surrender and surrender, they will hand over the chief priests of the Rain God in the city, hand over the temple in the ancestral land of Yuntan, completely convert to the main god, and hand over the descendants of the god
The heirs, as hostages of the alliance... Furthermore, they are willing to marry the Mexican royal family and let the descendants of the Mexican royal family become the future heirs of Yunshan City..."
"Huh? At this point, are they still unwilling to surrender to Kaicheng and hand over Yunshan City? Then there is no need to continue talking!..."
"Yes! Your Majesty the God King, this is what I replied to them. After the alliance envoys repeatedly put pressure on them, under the latest conditions, they are willing to hand over the twin cities of Yunshan... However, they have two harsh requirements.
Prerequisite. Without your authorization, I cannot make any promises..."
"explain!"
"The first condition is to preserve the lives of all the noble descendants of the gods in Yunshan City, and to retain their property and servants. The second condition is that they need a small fiefdom to pass on the Yunzhong bloodline...and these two conditions
, they all need the true nobles of the alliance to swear an oath with their blood, in the name of their ancestors and gods!…”
"Haha! You want me to swear an oath on blood with them? These cloud gods are really interesting!..."
Hearing such conditions, God King Avit raised the corner of his mouth and sneered with disdain. In his opinion, this was simply a matter of smoking too much divine smoke and eating too many mushrooms. How could he come forward in person to fight with a group of clouds?
The Chinese Gods swore an oath on blood and used their political reputation to guarantee the goals of this group of Gods' crusade?
"Your Majesty the God King, the descendants of the Gods of Yunshan City plead with them, the noble person who swore blood with them... If you are willing to come forward, it would be the best. If not, you can replace it with the heir of the alliance, His Highness Shulot!..."
"And without the guarantee of you or His Highness Shulot, they will continue to defend Yunshan City. According to them, the food in the city can be maintained for another three years. However, after the secret guards spied on and tortured the prisoners, the estimated food supply in the city
, there is still one and a half years. If they abandon the old and the weak, it will be at most two years..."
"Swear on blood, it can be me, or it can be the heir of the alliance, Shulot?..."
Hearing this, God King Avit frowned, showing a slight displeasure. The descendants of the gods in the clouds were not clear about the succession disputes in the alliance. In their view, the heirs of the alliance still held heavy troops and had the greatest title.
Shulot of China.
Although this fact made Avitt a little unhappy, it was not beyond his expectation. Because not only the Mixtecs, but also the Zapotecs in the southeast also thought so. And what really made him feel
The tricky thing is...
"Yunshan City's food reserves are at most two years away? If the siege lasts for another two years, the pressure on the alliance's logistics..."
God King Avit remained silent, and the expression on his face became serious. At this point in the southern expedition, the logistical pressure has exceeded his worst imagination! This war against the Mixtecs has
The southern expedition was completely different from the previous expedition to Tarasco in the west and Tlaxcala in the east!
Although the western expedition to Tarasco is also a distance of 700 miles, there are two waterways in the north and south, which can serve as convenient logistics and food routes. Moreover, Tarasco is a kingdom with centralized power, and the terrain is mostly flat plateaus.
.As long as the royal capital of Qincongcan is captured and the king of the divine royal family is captured, the country can be declared destroyed!
The eastward expedition to Tlaxcala was an old enemy close at hand. Although the final siege of the Four Snakes City was also protracted, the logistical supply line was actually very short, separated only by the Smoky Peak Mountains. Moreover, Tlaxcala fell into
After the siege, there was no external aid. As long as a few snake cities were besieged and killed, agricultural production in other places could resume as soon as possible...
This time, the southern expedition to the Mixtec tribes really taught the alliance a lesson, letting everyone in the alliance know how to attack and destroy a distant mountain and forest tribe alliance with a radius of 600 miles, and there were enemy reinforcements that kept appearing.
What a difficult process!
Just like now, the Eastern Route Army's grain road is a full 800 miles from the capital in the lake to the foot of Yunshan City! This distance is already longer than the 600 miles of grain road that besieged Otopan Mountain City.
Two hundred miles. What’s even more troublesome is that there are almost no waterways in these eight hundred miles of grain roads, and half of them are mountain roads!
This kind of logistical pressure is simply abyss-level for the Mexican Alliance, which has no ox-carts or horse-drawn roads, and relies entirely on the transport of civilians! In order to ensure the logistical supply of the army, not only Texco
The Kehu District mobilized tens of thousands of civilians and squeezed out a large amount of stored food. The southern city-states along the way and the Tlaxcala Basin also allocated a large amount of materials and manpower. In addition, a large number of troops were also set up in the valley of Shenshan City.
Tun, try to be self-sufficient.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It can be said that although the size of the alliance army in this southern expedition was not larger than that in the western and eastern expeditions, the materials consumed were larger than those in the western and eastern expeditions.
Several times the levy! Even when Shulot saw the large number of diagrams showing the logistics and supply records, he couldn't help but be surprised. Because he knew very well that with the size of his feudal country in the lake, he could not
Bear this terrible consumption of food and manpower.
Such a battle to destroy a country within a radius of 600 miles, in the world of Central America, is like Qin destroying Chu. It must be overwhelmed with large numbers! Otherwise, we must either advance digestion bit by bit, hoard food bit by bit, and cultivate on the front line.
, fight for several years, ten years. Or we can only establish restraints, establish vassal tributes, recognize the autonomy of various mountain tribes, and then divide and marry, preach and assimilate, and complete the conquest in a gentler way...
Without the changes brought about by Shulot, Avit could only force the Mixtecs to vassalize and pay tribute, then annex a few city-states to the south, and then be satisfied with this and let go of the distant gods in the clouds. But now, he
The ambition and ambition to dominate the world have long been dissatisfied! And Shulot's improved logistical support capabilities can barely support him, one step south, and another step south!
"Two years? Another two years of siege?... From Mixtec to Zapotec... From the Oaxaca Valley to the seaside... How many more years can the alliance support the logistics of such a southern expedition?..."
God King Avit clasped his hands behind his back and looked thoughtful. After a moment, he came up with a clear number and walked to the table in the king's tent.
On the large table, there is a carefully marked map in the cloud. Looking carefully, there is a Zapotec land of 400 miles southeast of the Mixtec land, which is 600 miles away.
Most of the city-states and tribes have been clearly marked!
Yes, this is the updated map of the south that the Secret Guards are spying on. Under the leadership of the Chief Intelligence Officer Shadow Dagger, the Secret Guards' infiltration and spying on hostile forces is far better than during the Gillim period. And it is helpful to the God King's military campaign.
, is also an improvement visible to the naked eye. However, in this kind of dangerous infiltration, the loss of secret guards is naturally inevitable. They have already gone through two rounds of secret recruitment and replenishment in the Texcoco Lake District...
At the same time, the alliance also has some senior secret guards who, as long-term hidden stakes, are buried in the Kingdom of the Lake and the beach of Totonak, and even in various places under the influence of Otomi and Vastek Shulot.
A tribal legion has always been the deepest fear in Avitt's heart...
As for the great nobles of the centralized city-states, Gillim had already beaten them several times and killed several groups of people. Then, he made a heavy move and used the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition to collect most of the nobles.
Financial power and military power have almost completed the centralization of power in the Lake District. At present, these original alliance nobles have lost most of their power. They have transferred their seals to others and taken refuge in others. It is impossible to see any ability to resist.
And the focus of the secret guards' attention naturally shifted accordingly...
"If Yunshan City continues to be besieged for two more years, then this southern expedition cannot be completed overnight and continue to attack and destroy the Zapotec tribes. The alliance army must reorganize, and the three armies must be disbanded... I must also return to the capital in the lake,
After saving for another three years, we can raise the army again and go south again!"
"With these three years, the Zapotecs can take a breather, restore some warriors, and build a ring of mountain forts to make the next conquest more difficult... And the same logistical problems will also arise.
…”
"What's more, conquering Mixtec and Huastec in two separate conquests... How can such an achievement be compared to conquering two Yunzhong tribes in one fell swoop and conquering Yunzhong thousands of miles away?..."
After a long period of thinking, God King Avit stretched out his hand and grasped the topaz on the staff, symbolizing glory and courage. At this moment, he finally made a choice and made a choice of fate. His face was expressionless.
, stood up again, searched in the big tent for a while, and slowly pulled out another crude map, but it was the northern continent explored by the feudal country in the lake!
Shulot briefly reported all the news about the northern exploration to him. He also arranged for secret guards to collect information from the feudal kingdom in the lake while also collecting a lot of news about the northern continent. Just like the general story between Prince Feather and the Black Snake Clan.
He almost knows the location...
"Swear on blood, hand over Yunshan City... keep your life, and still have a fiefdom to pass on the Yunzhong bloodline..."
God King Avit squinted his eyes and lightly touched the desolate and barbaric northern continent where divine disasters were raging, as if touching the edge of the world. Then he took out his pen, dipped it in cochineal ink, and painted
A red line is drawn on the edge of the Nava world, at the northern mouth of the Leman River, and north of the land of Northern Tekos!
After doing this, he looked at the loyal chief intelligence officer, the outstanding military intelligence officer Ying Dagger, pointed at the map and gave instructions.
"The alliance can accept the conditions of the divine descendants of Yunshan City... However, this fiefdom cannot be in the land of the clouds, nor can it be in the plateau world. It can only be in the vast northern continent, north of this red line!..."
"Go! Give the conditions of the descendants of Yunshan City and this map to Shulot!"
"He is the one who best suits my wishes and understands my ambitions... Let him be responsible for the subsequent negotiations!..."
"In addition, tell him that a divination of the Lord God's will will make the surrender of the Yunzhong nobles more easily accepted by the nobles and warriors! After all, the slogan before the Southern Expedition was 'God's War', which was to completely eliminate the Yunzhong puppets.
The bloodline of God’s descendants…”
A prophet who accompanied the army was so useful, able to "timely explain" the Lord God's will, in line with the wishes of the God King, which made Avit very satisfied! So much so that even some slander against the new divination came from the high priest group.
, were severely reprimanded by him
Blame it down. He knew the dissatisfaction of the high priests, and knew that the priests and elders wanted to monopolize the supreme power of divination. But this right was so easy to use, and Shulot always followed his instructions, which was equivalent to his divine power of divination.
How can I let go?…
"Yes! His Majesty the God King!"
The outstanding military intelligence officer Shadow Dagger lowered his head and saluted the God King again. Then, he carefully picked up the map, stuffed it into his arms, and left as lightly as he had come. Behind him, the God King was wearing a
Cloak, holding the royal staff, looking towards the endless south. Under the golden-red sunshine, his glorious red feather crown swayed, as if it was burning with fire!
"...Thousands of miles away in the clouds...Thousands of miles away from Maya...and three thousand miles away from Cuba...thousands of miles away from the northern continent...even the evil land twenty thousand miles away!..."
"Blessed by the Lord God, this world is so vast! I will live for another fifty years, just like an immortal elder. I am the true God King..."
"This vast world! I want to take my loyal legions to see and conquer them all!"
