The sunlight from the zenith shone down and fell on the bark paper documents. The text on the document is clearly visible, and the details of the alliance are also in sight.

"The northern city-states have a total population of 410,000. The northwestern Helotepek State (referred to as Hipek State) has 130,000 populations, the northern Metzitlan State (referred to as Maitland State) has 80,000 populations, and the northeast Atotoni Erke (Arkbang for short) has a population of 200,000."

Xiulot reread it again and commented in a deep voice.

"The northern city-states of the alliance generally have a small population and are military city-states on the frontier."

"The fields in the north are a little barren, and the states have experienced wars, so the population is not abundant. But the military pressure of the three northern states is relatively high, relying on the supply from the alliance center, and they have always been quite loyal."

The high priest smiled calmly, knowing all parts of the alliance like the back of his hand.

"Sholot, my son. Maitland in the north is the place you passed through when you returned from the first captive. There are only 80,000 people there, and it is governed by the local honorable nobles. Further north, it borders with the Vastecs. .”

Hearing this, Xiu Luo nodded and fell into memory. He still remembered the city of Maitland he passed after the first capture. He also met Tikalo, a Mayan merchant of noble origin, in the central market there.

"The Hipek State in the northwest was conquered by the Otomi people. It was managed by the royal nobles and the northern general Othello. The Hipek State is an important town in the north. It is close to the tributary of the Tampen River. It is rich in water and soil and covers an area It is vast and has a lot of fertile land. In the era of the Otomi people, there were a full 300,000 people there. It was just six years ago that the conquest was brutal, and it has not yet recovered.”

When the high priest said this, he paused slightly. He pondered for a while before speaking calmly.

"Northern General Othelor, who has a close relationship with Ugr Priest Elder, has also known me. He is loyal to the great alliance royal family itself, and he has not wavered in any way, and he is unwilling to return to the royal capital for pleasure...even if he is far away from the lake. In Zhongdu City, he is still doing his duty, which is quite inspiring. And the Divine Blessing Legion of Shipek State has made great contributions in the Western Expedition, and the campaign is extremely effective."

"Loyalty to the royal family itself, unwavering, unwilling to return to pleasure..."

Xiulot listened with pricked ears, comprehending the unfinished meaning of his grandfather. He recalled General Othello's performance during the Western Expedition and made a judgment.

"It seems that General Ocelor is a local important minister who defends his own territory, does not interfere with the internal affairs of the kingdom, and watches the situation from afar..."

"The Ark State in the northeast is located at the junction of the Vasteks and the Tlaxcalans. There are a large number of stone and wooden villages. In the past few years, the Tlaxcalans have invaded several times. Ark State has become a fierce battlefield. , the population has also decreased by 30,000 to 40,000."

The high priest glanced at Shulot and said calmly.

"In the next Eastern Expedition, the Northern Route Army will march from here to conquer the old enemy of Tlaxcala. The Central Alliance has sent envoys to order the Vastecs to prepare nearby and supply some food."

"I heard from the kingdom's caravan that the Vastec ministries were hit by a hurricane last year, and food production was reduced. It seems a bit unstable."

Xiulot was a little worried.

"The alliance forces them to supply food and grass, in case the Vasthecs are forced to turn back..."

"If it's the other way around, then we'll make peace... The Vastecs are completely different from the Nahua tribes. They are a branch of the Mayans and believe in Mayan gods. The folk customs of the Vastec tribes are very weak, and the status of warriors is not high. The strength is low and there is no threat to the alliance."

The high priest smiled indifferently, with chill in his calm words.

"The Northern Army of the Eastern Expedition will be personally led by King Avit, and there will be at least 60,000 to 70,000 warriors from various states directly under the leadership. The Vasteks will provide food nearby, which will reduce the pressure on many alliances. The mountains and forests of Tlax Calabang are undulating, The fortresses are stacked, and it is difficult to deploy an army. If the Vastec ministries refuse, tens of thousands of divisions will be sent out, and the nearby Vastec towns and villages will be wiped out!..."

Hearing this, Xiulot shook his head slightly, without commenting. Although the Vastec ministries have been vassals for a long time and have always paid tribute respectfully, due to their Mayan origin and beliefs, they have not been accepted by the upper echelons of the alliance. In the eyes of the powerful Mexica Confederation, the Vastec ministries are merely providers of taxes.

"Don't worry, my child. The Vastec tribes are under threat from the Houndborn in the north, and should not rebel against the Alliance at this time."

The high priest patted Shulot on the shoulder. His eyes moved slightly, and he mentioned another related matter.

"In the north of the Huastec people, north of the mouth of the Tampen River, tens of thousands of dog-born tribes appeared last year. Under the banner of the Red Crow, they crossed the Sierra Madre Oriental and moved eastward, while recruiting more dog-born tribes from the northern wilderness , while aggressively invading the Vastec people. These dog-born tribes are very brave and flexible in tactics. After the autumn harvest last year, the leader of the Vastek tribe recruited 8,000 warriors and went north to conquer the Dog-born, but was attacked on the edge of the mountain range. Dead by arrow..."

"Ah? The Red Crow Tribe!"

Shulot was shocked when he heard this. His expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"These Red Crow tribes are extremely cunning and fast-moving. They must be the Guakili dog descendants who escaped when I led the army to the north!"

"Sure enough, they are the descendants of Guajili dogs who escaped."

The high priest nodded slightly. The Northern Expedition of the Kingdom and the Eastward Advance of the Dogs must be related, which did not surprise him. He smiled lightly and said with interest.

"After these tens of thousands of Red Crow tribes defeated the conquest of the Vastec leader, they began to gain a foothold in the northeast plains and jungles. They incorporated many Vastec troops and managed the Vastec villages. Their power grew rapidly... Interestingly, after they established their foundation in the Northeast, a dog-born leader named Amoxi sent an envoy to the alliance, claiming that he was willing to pay tribute to the powerful cactus tribe."

"Huh? Red Crow Chief Amoxi..."

Xiulot was a little surprised. The chief of the Red Crow tribe actually has such insight... he asked in a deep voice.

"How did the league respond?"

"It's just some dog tribes who fled, what qualifications do they have to become the subjects of the alliance."

In the calm words of the high priest, there is the confidence of the Mexica to rule all directions.

"Northern General Othelor suggested dispatching the Mexica Legion to conquer the new dog descendants. After discussing with the high priests, the royal family decided to let it go and ignore it... The Eastern Expedition is about to begin, so leave this Dogborn, putting pressure on the Vastecs will do no harm to the Alliance."

"Well, that's true. Then let them go first!"

Xiulot agreed, feeling emotional in his heart.

"It's good luck to be able to migrate all the way from the northern wilderness, and finally gain a foothold in the northeast plains and jungles...the Red Crow tribe!"

The two stopped talking, and Xiulot continued to check the alliance's secrets.

There are no enfeoffed city-states to the east of the capital city in the lake, only towering mountains that are hard to walk by. These mountains are thousands of meters high and completely separate the not far Mexica Valley from the Tlaxcala Valley. If the Tlaxcala Valley can be conquered, it can be counted as the eastern city-state of the alliance.

In addition to the western, southern, and northern city-states, the alliance also has several distant jurisdictions.

"The land of Chunthar has a total of 200,000 people, and Milpa has about 1-2 million mu."

"The southern city-state is further south, along the banks of the Talsas River, is the land of Chontal, with a population of 200,000. It has a vast area and is sparsely populated. There are many beaches and swamps along the river. The land of Chontal accepts the alliance Jurisdiction, there are some small Mexica city-states that have just emerged, and they are in a state of self-government by the great nobles and tribal leaders... The high priests have sent many priests to convert the Chuntal tribesmen here."

The high priest explained calmly.

"Sholot, my child. The lower reaches of the Talsas River is the south of your fief, the middle reaches is the land of Jontar, and then go up one or two hundred miles through the Mixtec Union, and then reach the source of the upper reaches, Tela The heart of Skala's rich and prosperous valley..."

Shulot nodded solemnly. He had thought about it for a long time, and the Talsas River was the key to the battle on the South Road.

"As long as the Southern Route Army can gain an advantage in water warfare, go upstream along the Talsas River and attack all the way, you can go straight into the hearts of the Tlaxcalans!"

The high priest raised his eyebrows slightly and shook them slightly.

"My child, don't take any risks! The upper reaches of the Talsas River are very narrow, and there are many fortresses along the river to hinder them, and they still have to pass through the territory of the Mixtecs... It is better for the Southern Army to march steadily and march by land and water at the same time. "

Shulot's eyes flickered, and he was silent. He has been fighting for many years, and he has become very proficient in the grasp of war, and has his own set of cognitions. It is obviously a long and difficult job to gnaw a solid fortress on land. I don't know how long it will be delayed and how much food will be consumed. And the waterway goes deep, directly to the enemy's heart, and the decisive battle is a temptation that every commander cannot refuse.

"My son. You don't have to be in a hurry for this battle. It's best to advance slowly. There are also many fortresses in the heart of Tlaxcala. It will be very dangerous for the army to rush deep along the waterway and stop under the fortresses."

The high priest's expression remained unchanged, but his voice became low.

"Even if the four states of Tlaxcala are captured and the people of Tlaxcala are completely wiped out, this prosperous Eastern Valley will be brought under the direct control of the royal family, or given to other princes... The kingdom in the lake lacks a small mouth, you have to go east At that time, you can plunder more people and transport them back to your fief. The priests in the land of Chunthar will try their best to cooperate."

Speaking of this, a faint vicissitudes appeared in the eyes of the high priest. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Shulot's cheek, his voice gradually became inaudible.

"My child, when you invaded the Tlaxcala Valley and together with King Avit, eliminated the alliance's enemies for more than 50 years. I will... pray for you..."

"Huh? Grandfather, what did you say?"

"...I say, you have to remember, beware of Mixtecs, no matter how obedient they are!"

A trace of uneasiness flashed inexplicably in Shulot's heart. He looked at his grandfather's calm face and nodded respectfully.

"Yes, I obey you. I will not rush into these expeditions!"

The high priest smiled kindly, retracted his skinny hand, and said nothing more. Xiulot turned to the end of the document and read it softly.

"Mountain Wetamo State, directly under the Union, with a mouth of 150,000 and a Milpa of 500,000 to 1 million mu. Sitaquarobang, enfeoffed by Prince Iscari, with a mouth of 70,000 and a Milpa of about 500,000 mu. Acambaro Bang, the enfeoffment of Prince Tepopolo, the mouth of 100,000, and unknown Milpa. The three kingdoms of the Lake Kingdom, the enfeoffment of His Royal Highness Xiulot, the mouth of 700,000-800,000, and the unknown of Milpa..."

These data do not need to be explained by the high priest, as Xiulot has a clearer grasp.

The mountainous Wetamobang is located on the south bank of the Talsas River, southeast of Zicao County, and is a copper mine directly under the Union. In order to mine copper mines, the alliance migrated 20,000 to 30,000 miners and their families here, and it has developed rapidly in recent years.
