If he hadn't seen the Zhongqian World in Xia Fan's pocket with his own eyes, Xia Hu and others would probably have scoffed at his words.

But now none of them doubt it.

Because when they think about it themselves, they also feel that having a world that belongs entirely to them is indeed much better than being an emperor in this world.

"If you lack troops in other worlds in the future, you can come to us at any time." When leaving, Xia Hu looked at Xia Fan and said solemnly: "We will definitely help you."

"Okay." Xia Fan agreed with a smile.

Xia Hu, Xia Lei and Xia Yu left, saying that they would reorganize the army after they went back, and wait until the Thirteenth Prince ascended the throne and swore allegiance to him.

However, Xia Xue did not go with them, but chose to stay with Xia Fan.

Xia Hu and others said that it was just a promise to help Xia Fan fight in the world, but Xia Xue had already done this with a down-to-earth attitude.

………………………………………

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, Xia Hu and others returned, and the envoys of King Zhao Yin of Pingnan and Liu Yuchengen of Jingnan King also arrived one after another.

However, the envoys from these two families did not go to see the thirteenth prince who was about to be emperor, but handed the letters written by their respective princes to their own little princes Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong.

So Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong transformed into envoys of King Pingnan and King Jingnan, expressing their loyalty to the new emperor on behalf of their respective fathers.

In addition, envoys from countries around the Han Dynasty also arrived one after another.

Although the Thirteenth Prince's ascension to the throne this time seemed a bit hasty, there were not many missions coming to congratulate him. Even the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, which annexed the border, also sent a mission.

However, when the delegation of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom arrived in the capital day by day, information about the frequent movements of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom on the border was introduced to Xia Fan.

This intelligence does not all come from the intelligence system under Zhao Wei's men, and there are two other parts from Qianlongwei and Fengming.

Although Qianlongwei was severely injured in Xia Fan's hands before, he was a loyalty to the Han Dynasty, or, more accurately, an institution that was loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, when the Thirteenth Prince was determined to ascend the throne to the emperor, the general of Qianlong Guard personally met and was loyal to the Thirteenth Prince.

Although the Thirteenth Prince had no good feelings for Qianlong Guard, he was not the kind of child who only relied on his likes and dislikes in everything, so after scolding him, he accepted Qianlong Guard's effectiveness.

Then the Thirteenth Prince asked Qianlongwei to obey Xia Fan's orders and began to inquire about the information of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom with all his might.

Although the Qianlong Guard is not as good as before, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, so its intelligence ability is still very strong, much more detailed than the information collected by Zhao Wei's subordinates. Only Feng Ming can compare with it.

There is also a reason why Feng Mingzhi now provides information to Xia Fan.

When the news of the death of King Zhen came, Fengtou, the leader of the Fengming organization, once looked for Xia Fan, hoping to be loyal to him and help him compete with Xia Hu and others for the Western Xinjiang.

However, Xia Fan rejected Fengtou's proposal at that time because he had his ideas. Since then, Feng Ming has never contacted him on his own initiative, nor has he participated in the fight between the eight tigers of the Xia family.

Until now, the eight tigers of the Xia family have been damaged. The remaining Xia Hu, Xia Lei, Xia Yu and Xia Xue no longer compete with Xia Fan. It is equivalent to Xia Fan who has completely become the leader of the Xia family generation. So Feng Ming, who had been close and separated, came here again to be loyal to him.

This time, Xia Fan did not refuse Feng Ming's investment again because he needed this huge intelligence organization much more than before. At the same time, he now has the ability to control this huge organization.

In fact, since the Xia family's sphere of influence is located in the Western Xinjiang. The Western Xinjiang is located in the three-region zone between the Han Dynasty, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Tianyu Empire, the Fengming organization rooted here has a more advantage in the intelligence collection of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom than the Qianlong Guard.

Among the information submitted to Xia Fan, the information of Fengming organization is the most detailed, especially the understanding of some important information, which is difficult to compare with Qianlong Guard.

For example, the mobilization of the army on the border of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was mentioned, both Zhao Wei's subordinates, Qianlongwei and Fengming organizations.

However, in terms of how to mobilize, the number of troops and horses, the information sent by Zhao Yi's subordinates is slightly insufficient, but Qianlongwei and Feng Ming did a very good job in this regard.

What's even rarer about the Fengming organization is that they can even collect all the information of the generals who led the troops, their hobbies and characteristics of military use, which alone made Xia Fan quite satisfied.

In addition, the food and grass transportation situation in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was also under the surveillance of Fengming organization.

From the direction of the gathering of these foods and grasses, Xia Fan was able to roughly judge the strategic direction of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.

This is actually easy to understand. As long as it is a war, the most indispensable military force, but the positions of military force often change in actual combat.

Especially in order to implement strategic deception, in order to mislead the enemy and make them misjudgment their strategic intentions, the mobilization of troops will be even more confusing. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as attacking the east and west, concealing the world and other strategies.

The troops can move continuously, but the food and grass will not be mobilized endlessly. Especially before a large-scale war begins, preparing enough food and grass is something that any commander must consider.

As the saying goes, the reason is that before the troops move food and grass, this is the reason. At the same time, since the transportation of food and grass is much more troublesome than the mobilization of soldiers and horses, unless necessary, no marshal or general who commands the army will let his subordinates move the food and grass around endlessly.

The consequences of doing this are either to drive the logistics personnel crazy or to cause a lot of losses. No one can do this easily.

Therefore, Xia Fan monitored the gathering and transportation of food and grass through the information organized by Fengming, and could basically understand the whereabouts of the soldiers and horses of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom later, and thus judged their subsequent strategic direction.

Soon Xia Fan noticed something quite strange. After pondering for a moment, Xia Fan called Xia Xue over.

"You have been in Western Xinjiang all the time, do you know what Tongtian Pass is like?" Xia Fan asked.

"Huh! Why do you think of asking these questions?!" Xia Xue didn't expect Xia Fan to ask this question. She was stunned at first, and then said: "Tongtian Pass is an extremely important portal in Western Xinjiang."

Speaking of this, Xia Xue paused slightly, reached out and grabbed it. The earth-type spiritual energy condensed, and a huge sand table appeared in front of Xia Fan.

This sand table is not only large but also quite exquisite, with mountains, ravines and dangerous ridges clearly displayed. Among them, what attracted Xia Fan's attention was a mountain that was extremely steep from north to south.

"If you want to talk about Tongtian Pass, you can't ignore this Tongtian Ridge." Xia Xue pointed to the eye-catching mountain and said, "This mountain is 37,861 miles long, almost crossing the entire edge of the Western Xinjiang, and separating the Western Xinjiang from the Great Sun Demon Kingdom like a natural barrier."

"There are many legends about Tongtianling in the Western Front. Some say that a demon dragon was locked here by a god because it violated the rules of heaven. However, it kept thinking about returning to heaven, so it struggled day by day, but it could not escape."

"After a long time, the demon dragon eventually died, but its body turned into Tongtian Ridge. Its head was raised high until it died, and it wanted to return to the sky." As she said, Xia Xue pointed to the northernmost side of Tongtian Ridge, and saw that it was steep and towering, and said: "This is where the dragon head is, so it is also called Longshou Mountain."

"In addition, there are some legends. According to legend, many powerful ancestors lived in Xijiang countless years ago. At that time, there were not as many kinds of practice techniques as they are now, but they still yearn to ascend to heaven."

"So in order to be able to go to the heaven, these powerful ancestors who were born with infinite strength, running like flying, and could move mountains and fill the sea, could build a road to the heaven. Their plan was to build the road to the heaven."

"The first process of building Tongtian Road was quite smooth, but when Tongtian Road became higher and higher and was about to connect with the sky, the trouble came."

"Because the ancestors' actions of trying to go to heaven angered the gods, the gods sent punishment. Under the bombardment of heavenly thunder, not only were the ancestors almost completely destroyed, but most of the road to heaven they worked hard to build was also destroyed."

Speaking of this, Xia Xue pointed to Tongtianling on the sand table and said, "The remaining part is Tongtianling, and Longshou Mountain is the road that continues to go down to the starting point of the heaven."

"Do you think these two legends are credible?" Xia Fan asked with a smile.

"I can't say whether it is trustworthy or not, but it is widely circulated in Western Xinjiang." Xia Xue smiled and said, "Just just take it as a story. Although these are legends, the steepness and steepness of Tongtianling and Longshou Mountain are obvious."

"This Tongtian Ridge is like a natural city wall, blocking the enemy outside, but it also blocked the expansion of the troops in Western Xinjiang."

Xia Fan looked at the sand table and said half-believingly: "Can such a ridge stop the successful soldiers and horses?"

"Tongtian Ridge itself is not high, and the highest point is only three thousand feet." Xia Xue said: "But the real danger is the bad weather above Tongtian Ridge, the ferocious monsters, and the violent thunder that may be bombarded at any time."

"There are thunders everywhere that often appear?" Xia Fan was shocked.

"That's right." Xia Xue nodded and said, "How could it be said that the gods were angry at the ancestors and wanted to build the Tongtian Road without authorization, so they were punished to destroy it with heavenly thunder."

"The sky above Tongtian Ridge has been covered with clouds for many years. Every day, thunder will be bombarded. Most of the time, thunder will even fall all day long, such as heavy rain, hail, etc., which are even more elusive."

"In such weather, let alone ordinary soldiers, even practitioners in the Divine Realm may not be able to cross the mountain sky of Tongtianling safely."

"If it weren't for such a Tongtian Ridge blocking the way, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom across the street might have invaded Western Xinjiang long ago."

"As for Tongtian Pass..." Xia Xue said, pointing to a gap between Tongtian Ridge and Longshou Mountain, and said: "It's here."

"There is a gap of about 230 miles wide, which cuts off Tongtian Ridge, but it has also become the only channel that can connect Western Xinjiang and the Great Sun Demon Kingdom more securely."

"Although the mountains here are higher and the terrain is more steep and thunderstorms are constantly bombarded over the years, they rarely fall into this gap, so a city is built here to prevent the invasion of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom."

"Because this is the only passage from the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to enter the Western Xinjiang, there have been heavy troops guarding it for many years. The Great Sun Demon Kingdom has been coveting this place for a long time, and it has also sent many soldiers here to spy on it."
