I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Victory City.

It has been more than two months since the battle with the Northern Huns and Little Kunmi.

Although Cao Mao has been staying in Yongsheng City during this time, he has not been idle.

Under his drastic reforms, the Western Region has now been renamed Kunlun Prefecture, which is the No. 16 state of the Dragon Empire.

Kunlun Prefecture is divided into northern and southern parts.

In the south, there were small countries in the Western Regions such as Gumo, Jingjue, and Shanshan. They were killed by the Northern Huns and suffered heavy losses. In the end, they still failed to escape the fate of being completely annexed by the Dragon Empire.

Cao Mao named those small countries Gumo County and Jingjue County... and the original ruler was downgraded to become a county magistrate.

In addition, officials were sent into the counties to take over those state leaders and lead the affairs of the county.

King Gumo was appointed as the sheriff of South Kunlun because of his loyalty to Cao Mao.

As for the north, it is Qiuci and Wusun.

This time the Dragon Empire returned to the Western Regions, and the Kucha Kingdom contributed a lot, so it goes without saying that Cao Mao treated Bai Yu very favorably.

It didn't evade Baiyu like it did to other countries in the Western Regions, but allowed the Kucha Kingdom to retain a certain degree of independence.

But Wusun Kingdom did not end so well.

Cao Mao used the rebellion of Ami Ye and the assassination of Ye Situ as an excuse to brazenly send a large army into Wusun Kingdom.

Not only uprooted the power of Amiye, but also forcibly merged the two divisions, the big and the small Kunmi, into one.

Prime Minister Luye Situ was imprisoned by the nine clans, and Ni Xianzhi's eldest son was forced to go to Chang'an as a hostage.

And Ni Xianzhi himself, like other Western Region lords, was excluded by the officials of the Dragon Kingdom.

The entire Wusun is under the control of the Dragon Empire, and Ni Xianzhi is like a puppet.

……

"Your Majesty, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Department have surveyed the environment in the Western Regions. They said that it may be difficult to build official roads in the desert."

"There are only Kunlun Mountains in the south, and starting from the former Cheshi country in the north, passing through Kucha, and following the two most reasonable routes at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains."

Xu Shu respectfully said.

Cao Mao looked at the sand table on the table, lost in thought.

If you want to closely connect Kunlun Prefecture and Huaxia, the most important thing is to ensure the smooth flow of roads.

The terrain of Kunlun State is complicated, and the desert occupies a considerable part.

It is really difficult to build an official road made of cement in the middle of it.

For later generations, this is also quite difficult to construct, let alone in ancient times.

Cao Mao pondered for a long time, finally nodded and said,

"In this case, according to what they said, build an official road from the north and the south."

As long as these two official roads are completed, Chang'an City's control over the northern and southern counties of Kunlun can be guaranteed.

At that time, in another 80 or [-] years, Kunlun Prefecture will be completely integrated into China!
"A few days ago, the people of the former Moshan Kingdom launched a rebellion, which has been suppressed by our department. I don't know how to deal with those rebellious people?"

Wei Yan asked for instructions.

Cao Mao sneered,
"Since those people don't want to live, they just cut it off!"

"If there is another act of rebellion in the future, shoot and kill!"

A fierce light flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, and he nodded heavily,

"Here!"

Zhao Yun came out more and more, respectfully said,

"Your Majesty, the empire's 50 troops have been marching for nearly half a year. This is really a heavy burden on the court's logistics."

"Do you want to withdraw some of the troops first to ease the pressure on the logistics team?"

Ma Chao on the side shook his head,

"Zilong, this is not acceptable. Now that we have dispatched troops to retreat, how should we attack Dawan Kingdom?"

Although the Dragon Empire has a full 50 troops, nearly half of them are responsible for maintaining order in Kunlun Prefecture.

If you pull away hastily, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to attack Dawan Kingdom.

Everyone looked at Cao Mao in unison.

But seeing Cao Mao smiled lightly,
"General Zilong, General Meng Qi's words are all reasonable."

"How about this, temporarily dispatching 15 troops back to Chang'an City."

"Then we will draw troops from Wusun, Qiuci and other countries to form the Kunlun Army."

Everyone's eyes brightened.

If it is according to what Cao Mao said, the pressure on food and supplies will be reduced.

Moreover, gathering the forces of the original Western Regions can also reduce the burden on the Dragon Kingdom's army and mobilize more troops to attack Dawan Kingdom.

In this way, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
"Your Majesty's plan is very clever!"

Xu Shu smiled and nodded.

"In that case, then follow this method."

Cao Mao laughed.

After some discussion, everyone took orders to leave.

Cao Mao rubbed his forehead, looked at the thick pile of official documents in front of him, and felt a little bit of nostalgia for Pang Tong, Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Yang Jun and others.

If they were there, there would be no need for me to deal with so many political affairs.

When he was considering whether to send someone to invite Pang Tong and the others, he saw Dian Wei striding into the hall.

"His Majesty!"

Dian Wei bowed to Cao Mao, respectful and authentic,

"Annasha, the saint of Zoroastrianism, is begging to see her outside the city!"

Cao Mao was startled for a moment, then laughed,

"Let her in."

……

After a while, under the leadership of Dian Wei, Annasha came to Cao Mao's residence.

"Miss An, please wait a moment, Your Majesty will come over soon."

Dian Wei bowed his hands and retreated.

Anasha looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around her, and her mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

It was here that night that Cao Mao took her virginity!
For her, this incident can be said to be unforgettable for a lifetime!

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded from outside the door.

But it was Cao Mao who stepped forward.

After seeing Annasha, he smiled and closed the door casually.

"The saint came from Dawan this time, but did you hear from your high priest?"

Cao Mao slowly sat down on the chair, speaking in an unhurried manner.

Anasha bit her red lips, and then said,

"Reporting to His Majesty the God Emperor, our High Priest said that she is willing to join forces with His Majesty. But the premise is that His Majesty must first show sincerity and ability, such as attacking Dawan Kingdom first..."

"Invade Dawan Kingdom?"

Cao Mao smiled indifferently,

"That's easy to say. In a few days, I will use troops against the Dawan Kingdom."

Anasha nodded, and suddenly remembered the words of High Priest Mina before leaving, her pretty face blushed, and she whispered,
"The high priest said, let me stay by His Majesty's side and serve His Majesty..."

"It seems that the high priest of your holy religion is also a person of interest."

Cao Mao showed a satisfied smile and shouted softly,

"Then what are you still doing?"

Although Anasha is a saint of the Fire Worship Cult, she is just a weak woman after all, and her meeting with Cao Mao is only the second time.

The last assassination failed, and Cao Mao took his virginity as a result.

But he didn't expect that at this meeting, he would be ordered by Mina to take the initiative to throw himself into her arms.

Due to the reservedness of her daughter's family, she was naturally unwilling.
