    "Business Road" is a simple word, but it contains the heart-crushing pain of the Western countries, including the Kingdom of Qixia.

    If you want to understand trade routes intuitively, it is easiest to look at a map.

    The Kingdom of Qixia is located in the far west, and to the east is the neighboring Kingdom of Jinyang, which is the most powerful of the Western countries.

    There are two ¡®Eastern Countries¡¯ bordering the Kingdom of Jinyang. The one to the north is the ¡®Country of Taihua¡¯ and the one to the south is the ¡®Country of Canglan¡¯.

    In fact, from a geographical point of view, the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan are also countries in the west of the Fertile Continent, or in the central and western regions.

    But the location of the two countries is very critical, and it can even be said that they are blessed by nature. They just block the trade routes of the countries in the west and northwest of the fertile continent.

    The country of Taihua is an inland country, while the country of Canglan is close to the sea - an inland sea and an emerald sea.

    The coast of Canglan Country just crosses the Green Sea of ??Death and the Emerald Sea.

    Furthermore, only a few coasts in the east are located within the Emerald Sea.  But just on a few coasts, there is the only seaport in the Country of Canglan and the westernmost seaport in the Emerald Sea:

    Qianlong Port.

    To the west of Qianlong Port is the Green Sea of ??Death; to the east is the Emerald Sea.

    The green sea of ??death and the emerald sea are different colors, and the junction line is like a winding dragon.

    Qianlong Port is like the head of a divine dragon, dividing the sea into the east and the west.

    "Compared to the dangerous outer sea - the Green Sea of ??Death, the Emerald Sea is an inland sea and a human territory. Marine monsters do not dare to wreak havoc; therefore, there is developed shipping here.

    The ships here do not need "treasure ships", ordinary wooden ships are enough, so there are many large and small fleets.

    Ships from the east of the Fertile Continent, even the Tuotu Continent, and even the Kunlun Continent can directly reach the Canglan Kingdom and the countries east of the Canglan Kingdom, such as the Langya Kingdom.

    Medicinal pills, medicinal materials and other cultivation resources are then transported overland from the Canglan Kingdom or the Langya Kingdom to the countries in the west, northwest and north of the Fertile Continent.

    "But the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan, one in the south and one in the north, are like iron ropes, firmly blocking the trade routes of the countries in the west and northwest.

    This trading route that connects the sea and the land is the so-called ¡®trade route¡¯.

    But when the trade route leads to the west and northwest of the Fertile Continent, it needs to pass through the country of Canglan or Taihua.

    Needless to say, the two countries monopolized the trade routes without mercy!

    By monopolizing trade routes and controlling the prices of cultivation resources such as elixirs and medicinal materials, the two countries can obtain billions of spiritual stones, massive black iron, red copper, fine gold, etc. every year from the western and northwest countries of the Fertile Continent.  Spiritual materials, as well as medicinal materials unique to the West and Northwest, etc., sit on the ground and strengthen yourself.

    This has also created an extremely developed practice environment in the two countries; such a practice environment continues to absorb geniuses from all sides, making the two countries stronger.

    The two countries control almost a quarter of the resources of the fertile continent. It goes without saying that they are powerful.

    In the central and western parts of the fertile continent, these are two well-deserved powers.

    ??The Western countries hate the greed of the two countries; while the Langya Kingdom further east is greedy for the wealth of the two countries and is afraid of the power of the two countries.

    "However, the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan are working together to conquer the world.  The west resists the eastern expeditions of the western countries, and the east suppresses all the countries.

    "Even in the entire fertile continent, the two countries are well-deserved powerful countries! And we are going to conquer the east with these two countries!"

    By the end of the sentence, Wu Fanghai¡¯s face was as serious as ice.

    Zhang Hao was silent.

    When the princess was raising funds, she said that the Eastern Expedition was not for victory, but for survival.

    Now Zhang Hao suddenly understands more - no one does not desire victory. The reason why he said "not for victory" is because the princess also knows very well that the gap is too big and there is no way to win!

    And the so-called survival is nothing more than lingering on.

    The trade routes are like a noose, tightly tied around the necks of the Western countries; all the Western countries can do is to survive longer - but in the end they still cannot escape destruction!

    Zhang Hao glanced at the map and suddenly discovered that to the east of the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan, and to the north of the Kingdom of Langya, there was a huge territory with the words 'The Kingdom of Shaoze' written on it.

    Based on the proportions on Wu Fanghai¡¯s map, the country of Shaoze is probably only fifteen thousand miles wide!

    Zhang Hao pointed to the country of Shaoze: "Father, this young manThe country of ? should be good. Can we contact the country of Shaoze and other eastern countries to attack the country of Taihua and Canglan?  "

    "Do you think the enemy didn't think about it?" Wu Fanghai shook his head, "You have also seen that the country of Shaoze is so vast. Therefore, everyone is afraid of this country.

    Nowadays, the surrounding countries are interfering in the internal affairs of Shaoze and supporting different princes in their rebellion.  Therefore, the current Shaoze Kingdom seems to be powerful, but in fact it is extremely weak.

    The latest news shows that the Kingdom of Shaoze has been split into two camps, the East and the West.  Each camp has multiple princes, and even large families, sects, and other factions.

    There are at least fifteen first-class separatist forces in Shaoze.  There are hundreds of other forces, large and small.  "

    "So, the country of Shaoze is now a piece of fat meat, and all the surrounding countries want to take a bite."

    "The reason why we chose to march eastward now is because we received news that the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan have invested a large amount of military power in the Kingdom of Shaoze.

    This is our chance.

    "And the Langya Kingdom in the east, and even the Shaoze Kingdom, will help us hold back these legions.  "

    Zhang Hao took a deep breath, the situation was more chaotic and severe than he imagined.

    Wu Fanghai continued to explain:

    "Between the Kingdom of Zhongshan and the Kingdom of Taihua, there is a mountain range, the Snow Mountain."

    "In the east of the Kingdom of Jinyang, there is also a large mountain range, Qiufeng Ridge. The one bordering the Kingdom of Taihua in the north is called the 'North Qiufeng Ridge'; the one bordering the Kingdom of Canglan is called the 'South Autumn Fengling'  ."

    "The Daxue Mountains and Qiufeng Ridge are difficult for birds to cross, but there are many valleys between the peaks that can be passed through. Many valleys are more than ten miles wide, enough for millions of troops to pass through."

    Zhang Hao suddenly had doubts: "Father, no matter how high the mountain is, it can't stop the cultivators, right? Can't we send experts across the mountain to sneak attack?"

    The north and south mountain ranges are more than 20,000 miles long, so there cannot be any omissions!  "

    Wu Fanghai nodded: "It's good to think of this. But war is not that simple."

    Wu Fanghai¡¯s face gradually became serious, and he seemed to be interested in cultivating Zhang Hao.  Although Zhang Hao was a bit threatening to him before, as a general, he still likes to be so tough-minded.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s performance allowed Wu Fanghai to see a young man with courage and potential.

    And Zhang Hao now has the state of Dzogchen in the Qi Refining Stage, and the true energy in his body is pure, majestic, and quite extraordinary.

    He is already old. Fighting and being injured again and again have seriously consumed his life.

    Although it is said that there are thousands of lives in the Nascent Soul stage, it is just a number that sounds beautiful.  Which cultivator can avoid fighting, injuries, stimulating potential, extreme training, etc., all of which consume life.

    Now, he urgently needs to find a successor, someone who can carry the country on his shoulders and a backbone who can hold up the sky for this land.

    He has trained several talents, but the more talents, the better.

    Now, he thinks Zhang Hao is very good.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
