"If I guessed correctly, Tongtian Pass is probably going to have a fierce battle." Xia Fan said.

"What?!" Xia Xue exclaimed in a lost voice, her face suddenly changed.

Not only her, but even Xia Hu, who was called to discuss matters later, Xia Lei and Xia Yu, who heard what Xia Fan said, their faces changed drastically and they kept saying, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?" Xia Fan had no intention of arguing with him, but just asked casually.

"There has been wars between the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Great Han Dynasty. However, in previous wars, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has never attempted to open the Tongtian Pass and then attacked the Great Han Dynasty through the Western Frontier." Xia Yu replied, his tone very firm.

"It was the past, it was now, and it was no longer the same as it was." Xia Fan said lightly.

"What's the difference..." Xia Yu was about to refute, but suddenly stopped talking. His originally angry face became extremely difficult to see.

Because at this moment he realized what Xia Fan meant, and now it was indeed different from before.

In the past, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom did not attack Tongtian Pass, not only because the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but more importantly, the Xijiang River was controlled by the king Xiahou of the town. If a protracted battle was fought with him, it would not be of any benefit to the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.

But now in the Western Xinjiang, Xia Hu, Xia Lei and Xia Yu have reached the hands of Xia Hu.

Even if they can unite with each other and work together, their strength is much worse than the King of Town who once lived in the Western Frontier and could only win a million soldiers by one person.

"Damn it, are those demon kids crazy? They just want to attack the Han Dynasty, why should they hit us??" Xia Lei suddenly cursed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Lei realized that his words were a bit unauthorized, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly at Xia Fan.

"The reason is very simple, because you are soft persimmons, and the location of Xijiang is too good and important." Xia Fan was not angry because of Xia Lei's words, and pointed to the sand table and said: "Western Xinjiang is located between the Great Han Dynasty, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Tianyu Empire. It is connected to the three but is not governed by the three. Its status is transcendent."

"As long as you control this place, it means that no matter which country you want to attack, you will get a very convenient pedal. Tell me, why don't the Great Sun Demon Kingdom want such a good place?" Xia Fan said and looked at Xia Hu and the other two.

"Xia Fan, what should we do?" Xia Hu didn't say anything before, staring at the sand table. At this time, he turned his head and said, "The Great Sun Demon Kingdom is definitely not just for the Western Front. The sword tip is the Han Dynasty. If you don't save it, you will really be dead."

"That's right, that's right." Xia Yu nodded and said, "I'm watching the Thirteenth Prince ascend the throne. Now the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is going to invade Western Xinjiang, which is clearly going to cause trouble for the Thirteenth Prince. Besides, I think the soldiers and horses placed on the border of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom are not used to scare people."

"Maybe the Great Sun Demon National Assembly will take a two-pronged approach this time." Xia Hu said: "Not only will there be big trouble in Western Xinjiang, but even the Great Han Dynasty."

"Haha..." Xia Fan couldn't help laughing when he saw them singing and talking, saying something serious. He was going to pull himself into the water.

He called Xia Hu and the other two, not just to remind them. How could he not understand the truth that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold?

As the gateway to the west of the Han Dynasty, Western Xinjiang was indeed crucial. If it weren't for this, Liu Xingchen wouldn't hesitate for a long time when he moved to conquer the king.

Now the Thirteenth Prince is about to ascend the throne. Whether the Great Sun Demon Kingdom directly invades the border or attacks the Western Xinjiang, the result is the same, and it is a naked provocation to the Han Dynasty.

If we do not give a firm counterattack and completely defeat its arrogance, then the Great Sun Demon Kingdom will inevitably see through the weak nature of the current Han Dynasty and become more and more powerful.

At that time, local wars that might have been just tentative may immediately escalate into full-scale wars.

Such a transformation is really too easy for the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, which has been eyeing the Han Dynasty and has made sufficient preparations for war.

"Of course I won't stop waiting for death." Xia Fan laughed a few times before stopping, looking at Xia Hu and the other two and said, "But I have the conditions. If you can accept it, everything will be easy to say."

"What conditions?" Xia Hu asked, but his brows frowned slightly.

"You don't want the entire Western Xinjiang, do you?" Xia Yu looked at Xia Fan and asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Xia Fan asked replies without answering.

"I don't think you want it." Xia Hu answered first before Xia Yu answering. He was really afraid that Xia Yu would say something ugly to make Xia Fan angry.

The current situation is different from before. Xia Fan's strength is far superior to them, making it far impossible for them to be as tough as they used to be. Moreover, they are begging Xia Fan at this time, so naturally they can't anger him any more.

"What if I want it?" Xia Fan asked again.

"Then why not give it to you." Xia Yu said indifferently.

"Well, I mean that too." Xia Hu didn't expect Xia Yu, who had always disliked Xia Fan, would say such words. He nodded in agreement in a daze.

"I don't want it either." Xia Fan of course would not ask for Xijiang. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't even look down on the Han Dynasty, let alone the small Xijiang. In fact, the conditions I want to put forward have nothing to do with this, I just don't know if you can accept it."

"Please speak." Xia Hu said solemnly.

"First, I can send troops, but no matter what troops I send, you can't have any objections, let alone any resistance or even hostility." Xia Fan stretched out a finger and said.

"Okay." Xia Hu looked at Xia Lei and Xia Yu, and saw that they had no objection, so he nodded and agreed.

They guessed that the purpose of Xia Fan's words was to remind them in advance and let them restrain their subordinates. Otherwise, when he sent out the soldiers of the demons, demons and multi-armed tribes, they might make a fuss about the soldiers and horses that had never seen the world in their hands. It would be bad if there were any misunderstandings and disputes that would cause.

"Second, as long as the war begins, the command will be controlled by me and the people I designated. All the troops in Western Xinjiang, including you three, must obey orders and not disobey orders for any reason, otherwise the military law will not tolerate it." When Xia Fan said this, his face no longer had a smile on his face and was full of seriousness.

Soldiers are nothing small, and no one can laugh at such things.

Especially now, what we are talking about is the issue of commanding dozens or millions of soldiers, which is even more impossible to be casual.

"I'm fine." Xia Yu was the first to express his opinion after thinking about it.

"So too." Xia Lei nodded.

"We accept this condition." Xia Hu naturally would not refuse when he heard them say this.

Originally, the Western Xinjiang was divided by the eight tigers of the Xia family, but because Xia Feng, Xia Guang, Xia Lu, Xia Chen and others are dead now, and Xia Xue has also expressed that she will no longer want her territory, so Xia Hu and the other two have divided the territory again after returning to Xijiang the previous time.

Now the territory and troops of the Western Xinjiang are controlled by Xia Hu, Xia Lei and Xia Yu, so it is impossible for Xia Hu to decide on such a big thing.

Regarding Xia Fan's condition, even Xia Yu, who used to be inconsistent with him, did not ask questions like what if you deliberately direct our troops to die.

Just because they knew in their hearts that with Xia Fan's strength, if they really wanted to deal with them, there would be no need to be such trouble, just kill the three of them.

Besides, as long as it is a war, casualties will inevitably occur. When necessary, even if you know that many people will die, you will still have to issue orders. Even if you don’t want to die, you will have to die. Military orders are like mountains, not just for fun.

"Third, when the war occurs, food, grass, and weapons are a big problem. It will be very troublesome to transport it from the rear, so you will have to bear it for a while in the early stage." Xia Fan said.

"How much food and grass are needed? How long will it take?" Xia Hu neither agreed nor refused immediately, but asked about the specific amount, and he had to consider whether he could bear it.

Because this is not a small problem, any war is a giant beast, which not only devours a large amount of life but also devours a large amount of money, food and materials.

Xijiang has been operating for many years of Zhenwang Xiahou, so the foundation is naturally not bad, which was enough to support a large-scale war.

However, the eight tigers of the Xia family attacked the capital before, but it ended up in vain. During this period, a lot of money, food and materials had been consumed. No matter how strong the remaining family foundation was, Xia Hu had no idea whether he could fight a larger war.

Although Xia Hu didn't know how many soldiers Xia Fan would send after the battle started, as Xia Hu knew, the total number of soldiers and horses of the three clans in Xia Fan's hands would be able to make the lord of a small country go crazy during the war.

Therefore, Xia Hu had to be cautious and dare not be cautious.

"At present, I'm not sure how many soldiers will participate in the war. Do you have enough food and grass for one million human soldiers to use for one month?" Xia Fan thought for a while and asked.

"If I get together, there should be no problem." Xia Hu and Xia Lei and Xia Yu whispered for a few words before finally nodding.

"That's enough." Xia Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you won't use yours in vain, it's just a temporary borrowing in the early stage of the war. When the situation stabilizes later, I will naturally transport supplies from the Han Dynasty and my territory to replenish you."

Speaking of this, Xia Fan solemnly said: "If the Great Sun Demon Kingdom really wants to attack and open the Tian Pass, then it will not be your business. The Great Han Dynasty must have done its best."
