It's not strange for Liu Xuan to want to fight in person. He has been practicing for so long, so he can't hide in the palace all the time, right? What's more, with his current strength, even if Lu Bu comes to kill him, he can't dare to say that he can kill him.

He killed himself, not to mention there were so many guards around him? Those people were not decorations.

And because of the Yulin Cavalry, Zhang Liao needs to be guarded by his side at all times. Originally, Zhang Liao's martial arts were quite good. After this period of training, his strength has risen to another level. If the settings in the previous games were followed, Zhang Liao's martial arts would be absolutely

It has exceeded one hundred.

Lu Bu? That's not clear, but for now, he is still better than Zhang Liao.

After there was no problem with safety, Liu Xuan wanted to see what the war scenes of this era were like - although he had seen more spectacular wars, it did not mean that he would not be indifferent to the war scenes of this era.

Interested.

This is just like how even after thousands of years, war has changed into something different, there are still a large number of people who love the war scenes from thousands of years ago - the difference in the way of war means that the feeling is different at most, but it does not mean that it is not shocking enough.

Already.

What's more, a personal expedition by the imperial chariot can also enhance the confidence of the court princes in the emperor. Although the prerequisite is victory, Liu Xuan never thought that he would lose.

Li Jue and Guo Si were indeed very powerful, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under their command, and they were all the elites of the Xiliang Army.

Because Xiliang is located in the northwest, it not only frequently fights with the Xiongnu, but also the Qiang and Di often stir up trouble in the west. Therefore, the soldiers of the Xiliang army are all battle-hardened men. Without the baptism of many civil strife, the terrifying Liu

The imperial troops under Xuan were even inferior to the opponent's ordinary soldiers.

But now Liu Xuan reorganized the Forbidden Army and greatly expanded its establishment, turning the Forbidden Army into professional soldiers. With the guarantee of sufficient training, although they could not overtake the Xiliang Army in an instant, with the help of excellent generals and command, they defeated Li Jue and Guo

It's not difficult.

What's more, Li Jue and Guo Si have Ma Teng behind them. If they are attacked from both sides, if they can't win this battle, how can Liu Xuan still fight for hegemony? Find a place to train hard for 8,000 years.

Maybe there is more hope for revenge.

However, although this battle must be fought, and Liu Xuan will definitely fight it in person, it will not be now, but will have to be after next spring in the near future.

After all, it was still only 190 AD, there was no greenhouse effect, and the winter was very cold. In addition, the various heating measures at this time were far inferior to those in later generations. Even if you stayed at home on weekdays, you would often freeze to death, let alone frostbite.

Marching to fight - fighting in winter, fewer soldiers die in battle and more freeze to death, and it is difficult to transport supplies. If it is snowy, it is easy to get lost, and the cavalry cannot exert its due power. In this case, unless there are special circumstances, it is

There will be no war.

However, this period of time is suitable for final preparations - the final training and reorganization of soldiers, and the creation of ordnance. Weapons such as spears and knives are not meant to be used all the time once they are fired. Many weapons only participate in one battle.

It will be scrapped, so you need to prepare a lot of weapons.

There are also arrows, as well as the recruitment of civilian men to transport grain and grass - Liu Xuan has already given advice on this point. In the future, when civilian men are needed in a war, he will give priority to the deployment of county soldiers - but Liu Xuan currently has no commandery soldiers.

soldiers, so we had to recruit real civilian men.

Fortunately, due to the chaos in the world, many people have gone to the Sili area to avoid trouble. In addition, Liu Xuan ordered the recruitment of refugees at the beginning of the year, so there is no shortage of people in the Jingzhao area. Liu Xuan has just decided that next year

In the spring, troops were mobilized against Li Jue and Guo Si, and the recruitment work began immediately.

During this time, Liu Xuan and Lu Bu walked around the school grounds again. Lu Bu was very excited when he heard that a war was about to begin. He probably wanted to show off his improved martial arts and let the clowns know how powerful he really was.

At the same time, Huben Lang became increasingly powerful under the leadership of Lu Bu, and now he has become somewhat of the elite in the world. Lu Bu did not take all the credit for this. He explained to Liu Xuan: "The general under my command, Gao Shun, is good at training troops and is very good at military training."

He is good at fighting vicious battles, and I have eight hundred soldiers in my hands who are all trained by him. If he fails in every battle, these eight hundred men will be sent out, and the battle can be decided in one battle."

In fact, even if Lu Bu didn't say anything, Liu Xuan also knew Gao Shun, but he had never seen him before, and he finally saw his true form today.

Gao Shun has an ordinary appearance. Although he wears a helmet, he still doesn't look like a general at first glance. Instead, he looks like some of the armored guards beside the general. Such an inconspicuous person is the most outstanding one in Lu Bu's tent.

One of the talents.

If Liu Xuan were to evaluate Lu Bu's generals, the most outstanding one should be Zhang Liao, because Zhang Liao was not only powerful in martial arts, but also an excellent commander who could stand alone.

Next is Gao Shun. Gao Shun may not be able to lead an army alone, but he is a brave general who charges into battle. He is the kind of general who is better at leading a group of soldiers to charge forward and solve the opponent's problems.

Of course, if Gao Shun alone is not worthy of such high praise, the key is that Gao Shun is good at training troops, which is not easy - although all generals at this time know how to train troops, not many can train elite troops.

In Liu Xuan's memory, one was Yu Jin, and the other was Gao Shun. The remaining people who were good at military training were mostly those who were good at military training. But what they trained were only soldiers who were good at fighting, not elite soldiers.

After meeting Gao Shun, Liu Xuan did not promote him immediately. He planned to let Gao Shun perform a few great achievements and then he would have a formal reason to promote him.

Lu Bu didn't know that Liu Xuan was thinking about poaching himself, but pointed to a group of archers commanded by Cao Xing in the distance and said: "Now the troops and horses are strong and the weapons are ready, but the arrows are slightly less. We need to

Use this time to make more arrows so that you don’t run out of arrows during the battle.”

The status of bows and arrows in ancient wars has always been high, and to some extent, it was even better than cavalry. Liu Xuan nodded after hearing this, and said to Zhang Rang who was accompanying him: "Write it down, and go back and issue an edict to me."

Please ask the Ministry of Industry to prepare the required ordnance as soon as possible."

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was Ma Rixi. This man was a master of Confucian classics and a well-known scribe with a long reputation. Originally, Liu Xuan wanted to find a more suitable person to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, because this person was in the Ministry of Works.

It is a very important position in his plan. However, there is currently no suitable candidate in the government, so he has to let Ma Rixi take the position temporarily. He will give up the position after finding a technical geek.

It's a pity that he can't think of many technical geeks in this period. It seems that Zhuge Liang is considered a technical master - even though Liu Ye came up with the catapult strategy when he was in Guandu, he did not invent the catapult.

Some improvements have been made.

After thinking about it, it seems that I can only cultivate it on my own?

He took his thoughts back, walked around the school grounds twice more, said a few words to the other generals, and left the school grounds.

After Hu Benjun finished reading, Liu Xuan went to Yu Linqi's side to take a look. There was actually nothing to see in Yu Linqi's side. Zhang Liao often patrolled the palace, so he could ask Zhang Liao nearby if he had anything to do. At this time, it was just a symbolic walk around, and finally went to the Forbidden Army.

At this time, the Forbidden Army has been reorganized, and the 10,000-strong Forbidden Army has been training according to the current drills. Liu Xuan looked at it and did not express any opinions on it - after all, the battle formations and training in this cold weapon era, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song are all several levels higher than me, so don't show off the little stuff you have.

"However, the position of Central Guard Army needs to be confirmed as soon as possible."

Only then did Liu Xuan remember that after the establishment of the Central Guard Army, this position had been vacant and there had never been a suitable person to take it. The current civil servants in the court were definitely not suitable, and the generals in the army were also a carrot and a pit, and they were completely useless. not open.

"Do you have a suitable person to recommend?"

After wandering around, in the end I had to rely on the great weapon of the Han Dynasty: recommendation! to solve this problem.

Originally, Liu Xuan didn't expect these few people to recommend any outstanding talents. At worst, he would just use them first and then change them later when suitable ones come up.

Unexpectedly, he actually recommended someone Liu Xuan knew.

Lu Zhi clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has recruited Liu Bei, a student of his general, into the capital, but has not made any arrangements. What if he serves as the central guard?"

"Liu Bei?"

Liu Xuan was really shocked. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi recommended a powerful person to him.

It was only then that he remembered that after he tricked Liu Bei into coming here, he actually forgot to deal with it. It was said that after Liu Bei came to Chang'an a while ago, he had to stay at Lu Zhi's house because he was not summoned by the emperor. Liu Xuan heard at that time I thought about summoning him in two days, but walking around in the past two days, I actually forgot about it.

But... it seems that Liu Bei is in charge of the Central Guards, right?

Anyway, for now, the vacancy in the court is not suitable for Liu Bei - because those positions are too high-end, and putting Liu Bei in a small position does not show his ability, it is better to put him in the army.

As for the particularity of the position of the Central Guards Army, there is no need to worry about Liu Bei's self-respect. When a suitable replacement is found in the future, Liu Bei will also have accumulated enough "qualifications" for the position of the Central Guards Army. Go to the court and no one will say anything.

The more important point is that if Liu Bei is appointed as the Central Guard, then his two brothers will serve in the Forbidden Army. Isn't that equivalent to adding two peerless generals to himself in a different direction?

"Not to mention, this arrangement is really good."

The more he thought about it, the more reliable it became. Liu Xuan saw that Lu Zhi was more pleasing to the eye, and nodded in agreement: "I almost forgot about this, Liu Bei is a suitable candidate."

Seeing the emperor's intention, Zhu Jun wondered whether the emperor's appointment of Liu Bei meant that he wanted to re-employ his relatives. If so, they would not be able to object.

What's more, Zhu Jun had a good impression of Liu Bei, so he said at this time: "I heard that Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, why not check the genealogy? If it is true, you can also ask him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan..."
