Through Duanmuci's explanation, Li Kang combined with the previous information to roughly outline the terrain and distribution of forces near Huaxia in his mind, and there was a sense of pleasure in clearing the clouds and seeing the moon.

First of all, Huaxia is located in the eastern corner of the far corner of the big forest, the east is close to the sea, and after crossing the Hengduan Mountains in the south, it is still a vast green sea, with a width of three thousand miles from north to south, and the east-west direction is currently unknown, but guessing through the Hengduan Mountains stretching for thousands of miles, Li Kang feels that it will not be less than thousands of miles, or even thousands of miles.

Because no one has ever visited that area, there is no official record of the Hedong region, but strictly speaking, the forests on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains are part of the Far Corner Forest, and perhaps the western part of the area bypasses the Hengduan Mountains and mixes with the Far Corner Forest, regardless of each other.

In other words, the Hengduan Mountains are actually an "inner mountain" in the Far Corner Forest, not the boundary mountain as the Hedong people believe.

The western part of the Far Corner Forest is actually incorrect, the Wilderness of Atonement is in the northwest of the Far Corner Forest, which is equivalent to digging a small piece of cream from a green cream cake, revealing the yellow cake inside, and the overall area is only between one-tenth and one-fifth of the Far Corner Forest, perhaps a smaller proportion.

In fact, the dividing line of the far corner forest in the west should be the Jianmen Ridge where the Jianmen Pass is located, the Jianmen Ridge is a north-south spreading mountain, hundreds of kilometers long, with many branches, which can be described as a natural barrier in the Hedong area, and there are only four roads to cross the Jianmen Ridge.

The first is to bypass the Jianmen Ridge from the northern ice field, of course, if the large army does this, the grain road can be dragged to death, in addition, it is necessary to guard against the northern barbarian herdsmen who make guest appearances from time to time horse bandits.

The second, passing through the prison gate canyon, chose to walk a road, and the prison gate pass in the east of the canyon and the gate gate pass in the west are two unavoidable roadblocks.

The third, a detour from the vast forest sea in the south, the situation is much different from that of the northern road, and only small troops can be taken.

Fourth, of course, it is to go directly over the mountains and mountains.

The strategic location of the Jianmen Canyon can be seen from this, and if China wants to expand westward in the future, the Jianmen Canyon is a challenge that has to be faced.

To the north of the Far Corner Forest is the Qianli Ice Field, but it is still thousands of kilometers away from where Huaxia is now!

But it is not that the northern barbarians are still thousands of kilometers away from China, as mentioned above, the forest natives in the north have been killed by the barbarians and abandoned their armor, and they have fled south vigorously, and they have no geographical advantage at all, and they are simply useless and can not be wasted. Eventually, the Southern Alliance was formed to fight against the approaching barbarians.

Therefore, Huaxia is not as far away from the barbarians as imagined, and even in the northernmost town of Suwu in Huaxia, there are already a large number of barbarians.

Fortunately, the barbarians may not be able to stand the climate in the south, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, so that the forest natives could survive, and also avoided the early confrontation between Huaxia and the barbarians.

Otherwise, do you think that the role played by the Southern Alliance will not be successful? A bunch of waste gathered together is not a waste? Since the Huaxia Army has been training them, you can know what kind of bear they are!

The ice field is the name of this world, in fact, it is the prairie of the old world, and further north of the ice field is the more barren tundra, an abandoned land that even the barbarians do not want to live in.

If China does not want to have a conflict of interests with the civilized countries of the world as soon as possible, the best way to open up is to learn from the Western colonizers of the old world, and establish colonial towns in the coastal areas to the south, and after the entire Far Corner Forest is contained, on the map, at least half of the entire Far Corner Forest can be said to be the territory of China.

Of course, Li Kang could not decide this kind of major matter that was related to the development direction of China in the next few decades, and he definitely needed to discuss it with his ministers.

Further west of Jianmen Ridge, it is not directly the territory of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Hedong, it is still a public area, the area is very small, and it is a wasteland that is gradually desertified.

There are 16 countries in the Hedong region, the big ones are ten thousand times the country, the small ones are the thousands of times the country, and the ones that are not a thousand times have no surviving capital at all.

The entire Hedong region has a large population, with a population of 10,000;

It covers a vast area of nearly 15 million square kilometers, with Jianmen Ridge in the east, Longwei River in the west, the sea in the south, and the ice field in the north.

The products are abundant, the river network is dense in the territory, the lakes are dotted in the meantime, the forests, mountains, and plains are criss-crossed, but there are many kinds of wild animals and plants, and metal minerals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, calcium, magnesium and so on are also abundant, as well as silicon, phosphorus, coal, and so on.

However, no matter how many resources, no matter how rich the population, no matter how vast the area, it will not be enough to divide it into 16 countries, so it is natural that for hundreds of years, countries have been fighting each other for various interests. Wartime fighting, peacetime marriages, relations between countries are simply chaotic, a mess, cut and unorganized. It's like an old-world continent.

Anyway, Li Kang had never figured out the chaotic relations between the countries of the European continent before.

Across the Longwei River from the Hedong area is the Hexi area.

Although there is only one river between the Hexi region and the Hedong region, the customs and customs of the two places are very different, and Hexi is a world of religion.

Although in terms of overall strength, Hexi is far inferior to Hedong, and the area is almost the same, but the population is less than one-fifth of Hedong, the land is barren, and resources are scarce. Although Hexi is not a unified country, there is still a nominal spiritual leader, and the degree of unity is much stronger than that of the gang of people in Hedong who like to be in the nest.

Therefore, the reality is that the weak Hexi instead occupies the initiative, from time to time to invade the Hedong countries that border with it, whenever this time, most of the other countries watch the fire from the other side, and some do not pay attention to it and even fall into the ground, which makes the countries in the east and west of Hexi miserable, and there is no one to meet a group of pig teammates!

As for Hexi further west, the people of Hedong didn't pay much attention to it, so naturally there was no detailed news to Li Kang's ears, only knowing that there was still a country over there.

To the east of the river and the west of the river to the south are endless seas, and no one knows what is on the other side of the sea, but now Li Kang has some guesses.

It is very likely that the two boats of people captured by Li Bao before were from the mainland across the South China Sea. Because according to their own descriptions of the local customs, neither Hedong nor Hexi are right, and they come from the sea.
