Since he surrendered to the courtiers, Cao Ying's ambition has indeed weakened a lot over the years. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info once Cao Ying heard about the military and politics in Northern Xinjiang, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he subconsciously thought that what Liu Tai could do, as long as he gave himself time, Cao Ying could also do it.

But really living in northern Xinjiang and feeling the ubiquitous changes at all levels in northern Xinjiang, to be honest, Cao Ying has long lost the ambition he once had. Cao Ying thinks that compared with Liu Tai, the difference between himself is too far and too far. Today's Cao Ying has already recognized himself and has no intention of dominating one side.

But Liu Tai's holy decree completely overwhelmed Cao Ying, and even moved him from the heart. You must know that today's Cao Ying is already a mouse on the sticky board, and his status is very different from what he used to be, and Liu Tai, who is the master, can ignore Cao Ying at all.

But Liu Tai still did not forget his original promise, and even after Cao Ying pacified Shanyue, he rewarded Cao Ying for the first time and pierced the layer of window paper that no one wanted to face. Liu Tai's calm behavior made Cao Ying admire him from the bottom of his heart.

If it had been, Cao Ying would have been silent when he received this kind of reward, but now Cao Ying has seen the facts clearly, so when Liu Tai's holy decree was announced, Cao Ying himself hoped that Liu Tai would take back his fame for the first time, and repeatedly demanded to hand over all military power, and even had a lesson in Liu Tai's loyalty, and never dared to have any careful thoughts.

There is no example of the holy decree issued by Liu Tai to be withdrawn.

As the saying goes, a gentleman is quick to speak, not to mention Liu Tai, who is the supreme in the world? Therefore, Liu Tai rejected Cao Ying's request, and announced in public in the court that when the Tianci Army marches west in the future, the 30,000 taels of Huai soldiers under Cao Ying's command will become one of the new army's reading force corps, with an absolute degree of autonomy, and can even ignore the direct orders of the imperial court! Liu Tai's meaning is already very straightforward. As long as the Western Expedition is launched, then Cao Ying will be read out and become a hegemon. Of course, Liu Tai also vaguely said that although Cao Ying can read and Liu Tai will also fund the money and food, if he wants to stand on his own, he must fight the territory by himself.

Cao Ying is a person who doesn't know what to do?

If you don't understand this point, then it's not Cao Ying.

And Cao Ying never thought of asking the Tianci Army to fight for himself, you must know that the Tianci Army defeated, even if it was rewarded to Cao Ying, it was Liu Tai's. And if Cao Ying himself led the army to fight, even if it was to be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, its sovereignty was Cao Ying's.

For example, this is the case in Tianxi now, although the princes do not obey Liu Tai's command, and can even ignore Liu Tai's appointment, but all the land he conquers has been included in the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty. For this reason, Liu Tai even plans to change the originally set Tianxi County into a state, and it may be expanded to two states or even three states in the future.

At this point, including Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu, there is no sloppy relationship with Liu Tai. For example, some topographic maps and place names to be registered in the inherent territory, and even local folk customs, Sun Jian and other princes will send them to the imperial court as soon as possible after conquering some areas.

There is no need for Liu Tai to grind with Sun Jian and others in these aspects. After all, as long as the Tianxi region is subsumed into the Han Dynasty and assimilated by the Han people, will there be a difference under whose rule? For Cao Ying, Liu Tai also considers it, even if he knows that helping Cao Ying establish the Wei State has a bit of a taste of capital enemies, but at least the Wei State that Cao Ying may establish in the West belongs to the Han nation, in Liu Tai's opinion, as long as it is marked with the Han nation, then everything is worth it.

It's not that Liu Tai himself doesn't want to occupy the Western world, but because of population restrictions, it is impossible for Liu Tai to build such a huge empire in terms of transportation and grain and grass in this era. At present, it has expanded Beimengzhou (formerly Mobei region, which is not convenient for unified governance because it is far away from the Monan region, so it is divided into one prefecture), Nanmengzhou, Longzhou (Heilongjiang, western Goguryeo, etc.), Yingzhou, Nanban Land, Shanyue Land, and the Qiang region and Yizhou, which are 100% likely to be incorporated into the territory of China in the future.

Coupled with the original land of Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, Sili, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou and the total of 14 states of the Han nation, the territory of the Chinese nation has been breathtaking. And at present, the people in these territories, even if they are all combined, do not exceed 40 million. One can imagine how desolate it would be for such a small number of people to be distributed to so much land.

Therefore, Liu Tai's expansion has really reached the limit. Unless we cultivate for another 20 or 40 years, the people's livelihood will be completely restored, and the population will grow to 60 million or even 100 million. Then Huaxia's footsteps can be stepped out again, but this time is too long.

Can Liu Tai, a naturally warlike emperor, withstand loneliness? Looking at the Western Continent, will not send troops to conscript? How can it be? When pigs fly! Therefore, a deformed hegemonic force like Cao Ying will inevitably be born from Liu Tai's hands.

Although the existence of Cao Ying, Sun Jian and other princes will pose a certain threat to the Liu family, Liu Tai has always believed that there is no long-lasting dynasty, and who can guess what will happen in the future? Now Liu Tai just needs to do his best, does it make sense to think so much?

No one can understand Liu Tai's thoughts in this era. Therefore, when a series of rewards for Cao Ying were issued, the entire imperial court, including Xun Yu, Tian Feng and other ministers, as well as Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, expressed their disapproval, and it can be said that 90% of the officials in the entire court held a disapproval attitude towards this holy decree.

You must know that Cao Ying is a hero, if he is really fed, what will he do with his minions in the future? It's a very possibility. As court officials, can they not be worried? At this point, the hundred officials of the imperial court were surprisingly unified, and almost no one stood by Cao Ying's side to support him, except, of course, those who did not express any opinions.

In fact, Liu Tai's excessive reward has been carefully considered, if it can't be done, Liu Tai's surname will not be proposed at all. So when hundreds of officials were competing against each other, Liu Taili overrode public opinion and became a real talent reader, and insisted on deducting the reward on Cao Ying's head.

No one knows what Cao Ying actually feels in his heart. But when everything was settled, Cao Ying still knelt down on the Zhengda Guangming Hall with the holy decree and refused to get up, even if all the officials left, Cao Ying did not leave, but knelt there in a daze, as if he had not come back to his senses.

This holy decree gave Cao Ying a new path in the future, but whether this road should go on, Cao Ying really has no bottom in his heart, after all, taking this holy decree means that Cao Ying has once again become a prince, the king of autocratic reading!

The most important thing is that this has been recognized by the imperial court!

It was recognized by Liu Tai, the supreme supreme who founded the Northern Han Dynasty!
