The small soldiers on the frontier at the beginning killed Liu Ye, the Han God of War, and Lu Lingqi

Chapter 265: The importance of status, becoming a prince is not my wish

Secondly, there is an endless wilderness outside Yanmen Pass. This is a natural pasture that can not only be used to raise war horses, but also a large number of cattle and sheep as meat reserves.

The most important thing is that it can be used as an important planting base for Longya rice.

No one had grown food in the wasteland before, because geological conditions did not allow it.

But Dragon Tooth Rice doesn't care about that. As long as the animal has enough blood vessels, it can still survive even if it is planted in the cracks of rocks.

"In my opinion, instead of going to the Central Plains to serve as the governor of a state and being feared by others, it is better for my lord to retreat to Yanmen Pass and become a less noticeable prefect."

Li Shanchang expressed his suggestions.

"What Shan Chang said makes sense, but if this happens, it may not be that simple if we want to expand externally in the future!"

Liu Ye's idea of ​​​​fighting for hegemony is very simple. He uses the Central Plains as a springboard and slowly expands to the surrounding areas.

Although there are many waterways in the Central Plains, he does not yet have an organized navy under his command.

But with the dragon turtle as a biological warship, Liu Ye believed that he could still be invincible even in a water battle.

"Lord, you are worrying too much. In the future struggle for hegemony, geographical location is only one part. In the end, strength will speak for itself!"

"If my lord is worried about matters of justice, you can ask your majesty for the post of supervisor this time.

In this way, the lord can use the name of supervision to openly attack any territory of the Han Dynasty! "

After hearing Li Shanchang's words, Liu Ye suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, this is not a big man in history.

In this world, reputation is important, but once the court is gone, who cares what official position you had before? Big fists are the last word!

And now that the Han Dynasty still exists, no one dares to attack the city and plunder the land openly!

At this time, the status of the governor of Yizhou seemed to be very high, but it was far less practical than holding Yanmen in his hands.

After all, his current power is not enough to completely control a state, and it may be difficult to even issue government orders.

"What do Bowen think?" Liu Ye turned his attention to Liu Bowen who was drinking quietly.

Just now, this person has officially recognized his master.

But for the time being, he still needs to stay in Luoyang to escort him during his subsequent trip to Luoyang.

After listening to Liu Ye's words, Liu Bowen put down his wine glass and smiled: "Mr. Li has thought carefully, but with the achievements made by my lord, if there is only one eunuch and one supervisor, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Liu Ye understood what Liu Bowen meant.

You, the biggest hero in this battle, want such a small reward. What about the other heroes?

I can't do less merit than you, but you get more rewards, right? That doesn't make sense, right?

"Please sir, teach me." Liu Ye asked humbly.

"I believe that the only thing my lord lacks right now is status!"

Liu Ye was a little baffled by Liu Bowen's words.

After all, I am also the Great Han Pingbei General, and I will soon be granted the title of Marquis.

Is this status still low?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed not very high.

Take a look at the identities of those subsequent overlords.

The first is Dong Zhuo. Before he occupied Luoyang and proclaimed himself Grand Master, he was the governor of Liangzhou and a serious official in Xinjiang.

And unlike other governors, Dong Zhuo had absolute control over Liangzhou.

In Liangzhou, his words are more effective than the emperor's, which is a symbol of status.

Next is Yuan Shao, the later overlord of the north. His current official position is not worth mentioning, but he can't stand up to his impressive background!

As the top aristocratic family in the Han Dynasty, the Yuan family not only had an unfathomable background, but their uncle Yuan Wei was also the imperial master of the dynasty.

With these halo bonuses, everyone has to give him a bit of a thumbs up.

It is precisely because of these that Yuan Shao can grow into the overlord of the north in a short period of time!

As for Cao Cao, he is indeed worse than the two above.

However, his father Cao Song had been promoted to Taiwei during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Although it was bought with money, at least the status was high enough, ranking among the three nobles.

Even Liu Bei, a grassroots representative, gave himself the title of Uncle Liu Huang.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not, as long as it’s enough to scare people.

Anyway, the big man's dragon spirit was gone by then, so he couldn't just make it up as he wanted.

Therefore, if you want to quickly develop your power in the future competition for hegemony, status is indispensable.

When you have status, you will have fame, and when you have fame, people will defect to you. These are complementary existences!

Then I heard Liu Bowen continue: "My lord, there is no shortage of official positions now. Whether he is the governor of Yanmen or the general of Pingbei, although he is placed above the court and is not a high official, he still holds real power.

In addition, the lord's performance in this battle was too eye-catching, making it hard not to be feared. "

"I believe that it is not appropriate to ask for a real official position for this reward. It is best to start with a title!"

"Title? Your Majesty has previously agreed to grant us the title of Marquis of Guannei."

"My Lord, the title I mentioned is not Marquis!" Liu Bowen smiled mysteriously.

"Not a marquis? Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has been no duke. As for the king, it is even more wrong..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ye was suddenly stunned.
