The separation of military and political affairs is bound to be implemented. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, now is not the best time, because Liu Tai feels that he has not yet reached the point where he can completely let go of the administrative aspect. As the saying goes, there must be great governance in chaos, and if you want to have great governance, it is not a simple thing, you know, today's Han Dynasty, but there are nearly two-thirds of the place, and the people can't even eat enough, where does the great rule come from?

Of course, not having enough to eat doesn't mean you don't have to eat. In recent years of research on agriculture in northern Xinjiang, the yield per mu is very amazing. Although this rice is not suitable for all regions, it can still be grown in most places, and with the importance that the people of this era attach to agriculture, it will not take a few years at all, and the yield will definitely be restored to more than several times that of the peaceful era.

Time, the most important thing is the time to recuperate.

For so many years, Liu Tai has never enjoyed the life of an emperor. If it is unified today, Liu Tai does not have to be so busy, although the post-war reconstruction may be more cumbersome, but in general, Liu Tai still has time to spare.

Time flows slowly in peaceful time. The major legions of the original Heavenly Gift Army have all returned to their original stations. Due to the unification of the world, there was no need for some defense lines to exist, so hundreds of thousands of soldiers were transferred back to Huacheng Gongwei Yanjing.

At present, there are not many areas where the Han Dynasty is heavily stationed. Originally, there were more than one million Tianci troops, and about 150,000 were stationed in the Western Regions to guard against the possible invasion of Beiqiang, and the general was Ma Chao. There are about 120,000 Tianci troops stationed in Xiliang, the generals are Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao, and the task of these four legions is the heaviest, that is, to guard against the plundering of the entire Qiang tribe, and if necessary, they can even break into the territory of the Qiang tribe and teach the Qiang tribes a hard lesson!

The Qiang people are a very powerful nation, and a few years ago in Yangping Pass, although the Qiang people suffered losses at the hands of Huang Zhong. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost, but after all, the Qiang people are nomadic people, and they exist in the form of tribes, and they are distributed among the tribes, so it is nothing.

In recent years, the Qiang tribes will send cavalry troops from time to time to plunder the surrounding areas of Jincheng and the Sanfu area. However, the Qiang people did not get any benefits in the territory of the Han Dynasty, after all, the more than 100,000 Tianci cavalry in Xiliang were always on guard.

But in general, after the princes, the Qiang became the biggest opponent of the court. Now that all the regiments have returned to their stations, with Liu Tai's temper, they were originally planning to solve the Qiang people in one go. However, due to the length of the battle line and the fact that the soldiers were too tired during the southern expedition, the matter was put aside.

But Liu Tai's mind to conquer the Qiang people has never let go, as long as the time comes, hundreds of thousands of Tianci troops will inevitably wash the Qiang people in blood, and when the time comes, they will lose the control of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Nanban, Shanyue and other departments, and the Qiang people will not be captured? At least that's how Liu Tai sees it.

In addition to the 120,000 troops stationed in Xiliang, in Yongzhou, there are also 60,000 Tianci troops stationed, but these Tianci troops are mainly defensive, one legion is stationed in Tianshui County, and one legion is stationed in Jingzhaoyin, guarding the political and military center of the western part of the Han Dynasty, that is, the western capital of the future Northern Han Dynasty.

There are still a lot of troops stationed in Yizhou, because Yizhou is close to Tianxi, and it is necessary to cooperate with the corps in Jiaozhou to suppress the three major princes of the Tianxi battlefield. Therefore, Liu Tai arranged a corps in Yunnan County, a corps in Jianning County, and formed a group army of 100,000 people with the Nanban departments as the main body.

The soldiers and horses stationed in Jiaozhou were mainly concentrated in the surrounding areas of Xianglin County. Among them, Jiaozhi County stationed a legion to assist, and Xianglin County stationed two legions of 60,000 Tianci troops to defend the princes of Tianxi. It is worth mentioning that the two legions stationed in Xianglin County are definitely ace legions in the Tianci Army, and their combat power is second to none. And the current leader of these two legions is General Zhao Yun.

To the north of Jiaozhou is Jingzhou. Because Jingzhou is inland, there is no longer a threat from the princes. Therefore, Liu Tai only symbolized the surname of placing a legion in Xiangyang City to deter the lords of various departments. And the formation time of this legion is relatively late in the Tianci Army, and its combat power is relatively limited, but it is arranged inland, which is completely sufficient.

Not all of the Heavenly Army are battle-hardened divisions. Although over the years, the Tianci Army has fought in the south and the north, and it seems that it has been frequently mobilized, and there are countless opportunities for soldiers to participate in the war, but in fact, it is the five or six hundred thousand limited soldiers of the legion who are really mobilized. Of course, most of them are meant by training recruits, and those who can become a front-line battlefield and truly become strong soldiers can be transferred to the ace army.

To the east of Jingzhou is Yangzhou. Because of the threat of Liu Bei's forces in Yizhou. Therefore, Liu Tai placed a heavy garrison in Yangzhou. What is particularly prominent is the two divisions of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who are stationed in Wu County, with a full 60,000 sailors, who always monitor every move of the Yizhou side.

As for the infantry, because it is impossible for the infantry to mix in naval battles. Therefore, Liu Tai only symbolized his surname, and placed 30,000 foot soldiers in Wu County to deter the remaining gate lord clan in Yangzhou. It is worth mentioning that the Shanyue tribes, which had been very jubilant in the south of Yangzhou, had been completely subdued by Cao Ying, and 100,000 elites were selected from the Shanyue tribes to form a tribal legion like the Nanban Tribe, which made a great contribution to preventing a possible counterattack in Yizhou.

The actual control of the 100,000 legions of Shanyue was not in Liu Tai's hands. Of course, even if Cao Ying mastered Shanyue's 100,000 troops, he didn't dare to think too much. After all, 100,000 Shanyue soldiers will fight against 100,000 Tianci troops at most, if they are far from being matched in the plain terrain, does Cao Ying dare to have any thoughts?

In order to avoid the remarks of hundreds of officials in the court, when Cao Ying returned to Huacheng, he completely returned the military power to Liu Tai as soon as possible, and even made it clear that it was enough to be a civil official. But how could Liu Tai let Cao Ying be a civil official? With Cao Ying's commanding ability, it would be a pity not to be a monarch, and if he was a civil official again, it would really be a waste.

For Cao Ying, Liu Tai is very dedicated. Half a month after Cao Ying's return to Huacheng, Liu Tai summoned Cao Ying into the palace, not only had a conversation with candles and nights, but also promised Cao Ying on the spot that within two years, Cao Ying would inevitably set foot on the land outside the Western Regions!

The meaning is obvious, Liu Tai already has the intention of letting Cao Ying out. Now, the 30,000 taels of Huai soldiers who originally followed Cao Ying's surrender have not been completely integrated by the Tianci army, but because Liu Tai unified the world, the contradictions between them do not exist at all. Therefore, the sense of belonging of the two Huai soldiers to Northern Xinjiang is still very strong, and in Liu Tai's view, as long as they are Han Chinese, then whoever hands them over will have the same result.

Therefore, Liu Tai did not take back Cao Ying's military power, and gave Cao Ying a military talisman and a holy decree. In the holy decree, Liu Taijia was crowned as Cao Ying as Wei Qing, which was equivalent to being a member of the first grade. General of the expedition to the west, the control of the two Huai legions, and the hereditary title of Marquis of Wei.

The level of the reward is terrifying.

No one would have thought that with the Shanyue Battle alone, Cao Ying not only got a hereditary Marquis of Wei, but also became a member of the first rank, and even sat on the throne of the general of the expedition to the west. Let's not talk about the others, but you must know that completely controlling the two Huai Legions means that the 30,000 taels of Huai Army have become Cao Ying's private soldiers. In such a noisy situation, how could Liu Tai make such a holy decree? The officials were puzzled, the people of the world were puzzled, and even Cao Ying himself was confused by Liu Tai's holy decree
