The mountain city is high and surrounded by bronze armor. The mountain wind blew the kings' foreheads, and the scorching sun shone on their faces, bringing the fierceness and chill of late summer and early autumn.
Shulot's eyes were clear and he met Avitt's eyes. He was silent, feeling the flaming will and determination in the king's eyes. After a long time, he nodded solemnly, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly promised.
"Dear King, I obey your royal order! I will capture White Snake Qiu City and besiege Yun She Mountain City until the descendants of our old enemy Yun She are cut off from the world! No matter how long it takes..."
"good very good!"
Seeing Shulot's obedient attitude, Avitt nodded with satisfaction. He stretched out his palm, held Shulot's hair, and rubbed his forehead gently.
"Xulot, my son-in-law. Half of the main royal forces on the north road have been evacuated. Within half a month, I will take the last two royal legions back to the capital city in the lake. Then, I will summon the new high priest group , hold a grand ceremony for the victory of the Eastern Expedition!...As for the remaining mountain tribes in the four states of Tlaxcala, I will leave them to you to pacify them!"
When referring to the high priests, the king paused slightly and used the word "summon". Shulot had no time to think too much, he just looked solemn and repeated in his mind.
"The grand ceremony for the victory of the Eastern Expedition?!"
The boundless mountain of corpses and sea of blood seemed to be coming from all over the place, causing Shulot to smell the blood at the end of his nose. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke out his advice.
"Father-in-law, I heard that there will be thirty-six thousand sacrifices during the Eastern Expedition Ceremony. Among them are six thousand descendants of the Cloud Snake God and 30,000 men from various tribes!... The descendants of the Cloud Snake God are the favorite sacrifices of the Lord God, and they are also The most stubborn enemy of the Alliance should indeed be eradicated completely for the sake of the stability of the Alliance’s conquest!... However, perhaps, the number of sacrifices of ordinary men can be slightly reduced..."
"Um?"
Avitt's eyes were sharp and he heard the voice. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, making people afraid to look directly at him. For an instant, there was silence on the hillock. After a moment, Avitt looked at Shulot's calm face, spoke calmly, and reprimanded in a deep voice.
"Xulot, I heard about your sacrifice in the holy city of Cholula before, and I thought you would change... You have to know that what the Mexica Alliance needs most now is a consolation. People's hearts, suppress the great festival from all directions!"
"...The construction of the great temple has been completed, and sacrifices are needed to worship the gods! The immortal elders are going to the Kingdom of God, and sacrifices are needed! The respected high priest was murdered by Cholula City, and sacrifices are needed for revenge! Returned from the Eastern Expedition victoriously , a victory sacrifice is needed! And the alliance’s autumn harvest has just been completed, so a harvest sacrifice is also needed!..."
"With so many sacrifices added together, a mere 30,000 captured Dingkou are all humble Tlaxcala prisoners. What does it matter?!"
"Yes...respected teacher, follow your teachings!"
Hearing this, Shulot lowered his head slightly and did not show any resistance at this time. The reason why he spoke out was to follow his inner principles and not to compete with the king. A true king will naturally act according to his own wishes, but he must pay attention to his strategy...
The young king pondered for a while, then reorganized his words and spoke to the mature king.
"Teacher, I heard that when the four kingdoms are pacified, my brother-in-law Chimalpili will be entrusted here and succeed to the throne of Cloud Snake God?..."
The enfeoffment of the four kingdoms involves the transfer of many nobles, which is extremely involved, and there will definitely be rumors. As a branch of the royal family and the heir to the alliance, it was not surprising that Shulot could get the news in advance. Regarding this matter, Avitt felt calm and had nothing to hide.
"That's true! The four eastern Tlaxcala states, except for these two snake cities, were basically completely conquered. According to the alliance's practice, the prince should be ennobled and succeeded to the throne of the Cloud Snake God! And after thinking about it, little Chimalpi Although Leigh is still young, he is a suitable candidate."
"Teacher, if you want to seize a foreign country and stabilize it, you need enough Dingkou tribes. In this case, why not give these 30,000 Dingkou to Chimalpili? With these Dingkou, he can support two thousand more The status of warriors among the four kingdoms will also be much more stable!"
"Huh? Give 30,000 Dingkou to little Chimalpili?"
After hearing his son-in-law's suggestion, Avitt's face showed surprise for the first time. He was not surprised by the proposal itself. In fact, the female snake Gillim had also made similar suggestions to him. What really surprised the king was that such advice came from his son-in-law!
"Well... Xiulote is the eldest brother, and Chimalpilly is the brother-in-law... brothers and sisters, just like the eldest brother Asaya Catel and I..."
Avitt lowered his eyes and recalled some long-ago scenes. He felt a little warm in his heart and his eyes softened a little. After a while, the supreme king said calmly with a smile on his face.
"Xulot, your suggestion also has merit. I will seriously consider it... As for little Chimalpili, it will take two years to truly be sealed in the east. During these two years, the royal family will be directly under the The area of the lake area needs to be further expanded, and the fiefdoms of the great nobles within two hundred miles of the capital must be transferred one after another..."
"This newly acquired land from the four kingdoms will be mainly used to house the great nobles of the alliance. At the same time, they will move the Dingkou they control and gradually absorb the Tlaxcala tribe! The tigers of the Mexica will make their home in the fertile valley in the east. . And little Chimalpilly is the titular Tiger King!"
Having said this, Avitt thought for a moment and then continued to add.
"Of course, little Montezuma has completed five years of priestly studies and became a priest of the main god. He is the eldest son of the eldest brother Asiacatel. He is over 20 years old and is also supported by many nobles... During his lifetime, the eldest brother He is very kind to me, and little Montezuma is also brave and intelligent. When I wipe out the Mixtecs in the south in the near future, I will entrust him with all the valleys and mountains and forests three hundred miles south!"
"Kill the Mixtecs and entrust Moctezuma II to his throne?"
Hearing this, Shulot was a little surprised. But when he thought about it, it was natural. According to the closeness of the royal family, Montezuma II was indeed a very close nephew of the king, and he inherited the political legacy of his late king, Asaya Catel.
"Haha! The original gods combined themselves and gave birth to four main gods. The white cloud snake in the east, the black wolf with red tongue in the west, the dark green hummingbird in the south, and the black night wind in the north, and the world was created!"
At the foot of Yunshe City, Avitt was in high spirits, looking at the high sky and singing ancient sacrificial poems. His ambition is like that of the original god, he wants to re-divide the four fields and dominate the world!
"The direct control of the royal family is the Mexica Valley, which is located in the middle of the world! And you, Xiulote, sit in the land of the lake in the west, little Chimalpili sits in the land of the four states in the east, and little Montezuma sits in the mountains and forests in the south... .And when little Xiuhua grows up, he can sit on either the northern plateau or the eastern seaside. As for the other branches of the royal family, they will also have to entrust distant lands one by one and occupy all the fertile land..."
Listening to the king's grand plan, Shulot lowered his head and pursed his lips. Thousands of thoughts were rising and falling in his mind, just like witnessing King Zong Zhou Cheng who opened up China and granted vassal status.
In this era of geographical isolation and lack of horse racing, before the spread of horses and clippers, the distance of direct rule was always very limited. There was no soil for the birth of highly centralized Mesoamerican empires. Therefore, in Avitt's most majestic imagination, it is to unify the world and divide the world!
"Three thousand miles from north to south and two thousand miles from east to west, the kings of the Mexica royal family will be enfeoffed!... In this way, in a few decades, the entire world will be owned by the Mexica royal family and slowly become one ! And I, Avitsotl, will personally cut off the descendants of the gods in the world, unite all tribes and tribes, and no longer be the big talker of the alliance, but will be the ancestor of all kings and the king of all kings!"
The heroic declaration sounded in front of the ancestral land of the Tlaxcala people and floated high into the clouds. King Avit spread his arms and looked up to the sky, like a divine bird flying to the nine heavens and turning into the sun! Shulot lowered his head slightly and stood beside the king, like the wings of a divine bird, calm and powerful.
"What does it look like above the nine heavens?"
Avitt, who held his head high, didn't know the answer. He just made up his mind to turn into a flaming bird of fire and fly to the highest place! Shulot, who bowed his head, knew the answer. He climbed the mountain patiently, waiting for the mountain to reach its peak and reach the clouds.
