Seeing that they were running happily, Lu Bu didn't come forward to disturb them, and quietly left the scene.

He went to see the principal again, and the principal of the junior military academy was the famous calligrapher of the Han Dynasty, Zhong Xuan.

He is also one of the vice principals of the Central Army Military Academy and the main teacher of cultural classes.

He was a good face of Lu Bu, Fa Yan, and Lu Zhi, so he was invited to manage these children, and Zhong Xuan happened to be happy to have free time to study his calligraphy.

Zhong Xuan's calligraphy has a great influence on the history of Chinese calligraphy, and is even considered to be the ancestor of the history of Chinese calligraphy.

He is often called "Zhong Zhang" with Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and "Zhong Wang" with Wang Xizhi, and they are all Zhong in front.

It is said that Zhong Xuan's obsession with calligraphy has reached the point of going crazy, and he once dug up other people's graves for a book of ancient calligraphy.

Zhong Miao is not a corrupt Confucian, he still admires Lu Bu's actions and Lu Bu's ideals.

He saw that although Lu Bu was in a high position, he was able to be a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and he respected himself very much for these cultural people, and even the military school did not forget to teach cultural classes.

He and Lu Bu have become friends and confidants, so Lu Bu and others came to ask him to be the principal of this junior military academy, that is, the king of children, and he was not dissatisfied.

On the contrary, he was very happy and taught cultural courses very attentively, and listened carefully to the opinions of Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Fu Zhu and others, and gradually put this junior military academy on the right track.

Because according to Lu Bu's plan, in addition to the first batch of cadets to recruit all children under the age of thirteen, that is, they must study at least three years of junior military academy before they can be admitted to the Lantian Military Academy.

From the second year onwards, children over the age of six are enrolled every year, with a maximum enrollment of 2,000 students.

Lu Bu and Zhong Miao talked about Sima Yi, and Zhong Miao nodded, agreeing with Lu Bu's view that Sima Yi was very good.

He told Lu Bu that he and Sima Fang had been friends for many years, so they knew the children of the Sima family better.

Sima Fang had eight sons, which was the envy of both the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

In particular, the boss, the second, and the third are all very intelligent, far better than ordinary people, especially Sima Yi is the most famous.

Speaking of Sima Yi's application for the Central Army Military Academy, I heard that it made Sima Fang very angry.

Sima Yi is in the military academy, and his academic performance is also excellent, although the foundation of physical fitness classes is poor, he is very persevering and insists on exercising, and he is gradually improving.

And those cultural, theoretical, and tactical courses are very good to learn and have a strong ability to understand.

The instructors are optimistic about him, and as long as the results of the physical fitness subject come up, there is a great hope that he will become the third full honor graduate.

Lu Bu talked to Zhong Xuan about the construction of the military academy again, and the principal of the Central Army School was naturally Lu Bu, and the four vice principals were Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, Gao Shun, and Zhong Xuan.

Among them, Jia Xu only occasionally came to give lectures, and had no time to take care of the specific affairs of the military academy, and the specific management work was done by Fu Xuan, Gao Shun and Zhong Xuan.

And Fu Zhu and Gao Shun both served as the secretary of the household department and the military department respectively, so Zhong Xuan was actually the only person to preside over the daily work.

Zhong Miao told Lu Bu that starting from the 11th batch of cadets, the school system of the military academy was changed to two years.

Because the army building of the Central Army has already taken shape, there is no plan for large-scale expansion of the army in the short term.

Because of the high welfare benefits of the officers of the Central Army, few of them are discharged from the army or changed jobs in advance, so the demand for junior officers is no longer so strong.

By extending the duration of study and training, the trainees can lay a better foundation and learn more knowledge that they can use at this stage.

Although the school system is two years, the cadets are recruited every year, that is, after the enrollment next year, there will be two cadets in the military academy at the same time.

Lu Bu nodded, there was a shortage of officers in the past, so he pursued a quick success, first for half a year, and then for a year.

Now that the situation is stable and there is no sharp expansion of the army, the officers are sufficient, and the teaching regiment has already recruited people again, so it is natural to start striving for excellence.

When Lu Bu returned to Chang'an City from Lantian, he unexpectedly saw Xu Huang who came back to report on his work at the Central Army Headquarters.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a long talk.

Lü Bu first affirmed the results of Xu Huang's battle with Xianbei, including the conditions he later signed with the Xianbei people.

Lu Bu asked Xu Huang, "How is the progress of recruiting the Xianbei Qianman tribe and forming the Xianbei servant army?" ”

Xu Huang smiled and said: "Recruiting this kid is an official fan, as long as he can be promoted, he is willing to go anywhere." He brought a group of his old troops in the Xiongnu servant army, and he had already put up the shelves of the Xianbei servant army. ”

"The men and horses of the two brigades are being recruited and screened, the source of soldiers is not a problem, the golden family is "a thin camel is bigger than a horse", and there are still 30,000 people who control the strings, and it is not a problem to recruit 10,000 people from the two brigades. ”

"We have the successful experience of forming a Xiongnu servant army, and it is only a matter of time before these Xianbei people are transformed into professional warriors, and what is lacking now is loyalty and a sense of belonging."

Lu Bu nodded, "It takes time for loyalty and a sense of belonging to subtly influence them, one is to rely on brainwashing, constantly promoting our strength and the benefits of joining the servant army. ”

"Second, we must start economically, in life, and militarily to restrain them, control them, and make them obedient."

Xu Huang has been on the border in Bingzhou, Duliao and other border areas for many years, and deeply agrees with what Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu discussed with Xu Huang again, and then the next military operation against Xianbei in the west.

Fazheng in the Western Regions, especially in the Wusun Kingdom, encountered a strong competition from the Western Xianbei, who took advantage of the geographical advantage and the short supply line to attack and defend each other with the Han army of the Western Regions.

Although a big victory was achieved in Jinmancheng, it could not directly reverse the dominant situation of Western Xianbei against Wusun State.

Therefore, Lü Bu decided to send troops on an expedition from the Duliao and Bingzhou regions, draw money from the bottom of the kettle, and directly attack the base camp of Xianbei in the west.

The royal courts of the two major tribes of Xianbei in the west are in the west of Yanran Mountain, east of Jinwei Mountain, the old land of the original Hujie Kingdom, and the surrounding of the West Sea.

Fortunately, the post road between Shuofang County and Beidi County has been built, and the logistics supply along this road is very smooth, which can greatly improve the living and fighting conditions of the expeditionary army.

In particular, the Central Army has now become an army that is extremely dependent on logistical supplies, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, which have high requirements for logistical supplies.

In this expedition to the base camp of Xianbei in the west, Lu Bu gave Xu Huang a big gift, a special army equipped with secret weapons, of course, there is also the meaning of experimenting with Xianbei people.

Lü Bu demanded that the Xianbei Servant Army and the newly established Eighth Cavalry Division must participate in the battle and receive actual combat training, and the rest of the troops should be decided by Xu Huang himself.

And the candidate for the commander of the expeditionary force, Lu Bu and Xu Huang have surprisingly unanimous opinions, that is, Zhao Yun.

Zhang Liao had already stood alone, becoming the third commander of the Central Army after Xu Huang and Gao Shun to be able to command the army to fight independently.

And Zhao Yun, who is also excellent in all aspects, also has such potential, but he just needs the opportunity to show his talents.

Therefore, this attack is not very strong, and it is not a difficult western Xianbei, and Lu Bu is still more relieved to hand it over to Zhao Yun, who led the army independently for the first time.
