Lu Bu looked at the 120,000 new army, and Lu Bu made a bold decision to disrupt and reorganize all the veterans of the new army and the original departments and brigades of the Bingzhou Army.

In this way, half of the old units of the state army will be recruits, and half of the newly formed troops will be veterans.

Although the combat effectiveness of the newly established Central Army units will decline in a short period of time, the officers at all levels are the elites trained by the Shaling Military Academy, and there are veterans in every squad.

After training and actual combat, these veterans and officers will soon bring new recruits into veterans, and their combat effectiveness will soon increase.

As many as 120,000 new recruits were added, all the departments that had been renamed CSKA were supplemented and expanded, and many new formations were formed, and some of the previous brigade commanders became division commanders.

The new establishment of the Central Army is as follows: The old trap camp was officially named the First Division of the Central Army, the division commander was Xu Rong, and the first brigade, the second brigade, and the third brigade were under its command, and it was responsible for garrisoning the three counties of Jizhou and the Dai County and Shanggu of Duliao, and monitoring the movements of Youzhou and Jizhou.

The original Second Division of the Bingzhou Army was officially named the Second Division of the Central Army, and the division commander was still Zhang Liao, with the Fourth Brigade, the Fifth Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade under its jurisdiction, temporarily stationed in Guanzhong.

The number of the 1st Honorary Division was changed to the 1st Honorary Division of the Central Army, and the division commander was still Chenglian, under the jurisdiction of the Rong 1st Brigade, the Rong 2nd Brigade, the Rong 3rd Brigade, and the garrison in the Guanzhong Sanfu area.

The cavalry division was officially named the First Cavalry Division of the Central Army, the division commander was Zhang He, and it had under the jurisdiction of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, and the three counties of Hanoi, Henan, and Hedong under the garrison department.

The guard brigade was also expanded again, and the original guard regiment was expanded and upgraded to the First Central Army Guard Division, with Dian Wei as the division commander, responsible for the security work of Lu Bu's General's Mansion and the Central Army Headquarters.

The original special service regiment was expanded and upgraded to the Second Central Army Guard Division, and the division commander was concurrently served by Gao Shun, mainly responsible for the security work of the palace, which was equivalent to the former Central Forbidden Army.

And the Dangkou Cavalry Reconnaissance Regiment, which was particularly favored by Lu Bu, was also taken care of this time and upgraded to the Dangkou Cavalry Special Tactical Assault Brigade, because the name was too long, it was still used to be called the Dangkou Cavalry or the Special Operations Brigade, and the brigade commander was served by Wang Quan, directly under the direct command of Lu Bu himself.

There are also many newly established troops, such as Lu Bu formed alone, and selected many soldiers who were mountain people and Orion before joining the army, and some backbones of the former Second Brigade of the Trap Camp to form the Third Division of the Central Army, and the division commander was Wei Xu.

The main direction of attack is the mountain infantry, inheriting the fine tradition of the 2nd Brigade, and is under the jurisdiction of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Brigades.

The newly formed Second Cavalry Division of the Central Army, with the backbone of the original reserve cavalry brigade and the second cavalry brigade, was commanded by Hou Cheng, with the fourth cavalry brigade, the fifth cavalry brigade, and the sixth cavalry brigade, and Fan Chou as the brigade commander of the sixth cavalry brigade.

Ma Teng served as the commander of the Third Cavalry Division of the Central Army, and the officers of the original Xiliang Army all studied at the Shaling Military Academy, under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Cavalry Brigade, the Eighth Cavalry Brigade, and the Ninth Cavalry Brigade, and Guo Yan was the brigade commander of the Eighth Cavalry Brigade.

Therefore, the officers at all levels of the Third Cavalry Division came from various departments of the Lao Bingzhou Army, many of them were officers of the cavalry division and the servant army, and many of the soldiers were reorganized from Ma Teng's Xiliang cavalry.

After studying in the advanced training course for senior officers, Li Dao is still a person with relatively good grades, and it seems that he does have a talent for military command.

Based on the principle of employing people without suspicion and not using suspicious people, Lu Bu appointed Li Dao as the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Division of the Central Army, with the 10th Cavalry Brigade, the 11th Cavalry Brigade, and the 12th Cavalry Brigade under his command.

Because a large number of Xiliang cavalry were reorganized, the newly established troops were mainly cavalry, and Cao Xing was promoted to the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Division of the Central Army, under the jurisdiction of the 13th Cavalry Brigade, the 14th Cavalry Brigade, and the 15th Cavalry Brigade.

The last new cavalry unit was the 6th Cavalry Division of the Central Army, but the composition of this unit was not new.

The division commander was Zhao Yun, so his heavy brigade was also incorporated into the 6th Cavalry Division, numbered the 16th Heavy Brigade.

Lü Bu did not expand this heavy army, because it was too expensive, and there was no opponent worthy of fighting on the domestic battlefield, and it also had the 17th Cavalry Brigade and the 18th Cavalry Brigade.

The last new army is an infantry division, the Fourth Division of the Central Army, the division commander is Zhu Ling, and the three brigade commanders of the trapped camp have all been promoted to division commanders, which also shows that the trapped camp is indeed the main trump card of the military system of Bingzhou.

His old subordinate Tai Shici also closely followed Zhu Ling and served as the brigade commander of the 10th Brigade, in addition to the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade.

Pei Yuanshao's engineer regiment was also expanded into an engineer brigade, because there were more and more occasions when engineers were needed, so far the Central Army, which was completely mixed and reorganized, officially established 13 divisions, as well as engineer brigades and special operations brigades, totaling more than 200,000 people.

In order to better manage, train and dispatch the increasingly large army under his command, Lü Bu formally established the long-awaited Central Army General Staff, with Jia Xu as the chief of the general staff and Fu Zhi as the deputy chief of the general staff.

Several new departments were also set up under the General Staff, such as the Logistics Department, headed by Song Xian, who was responsible for logistics supplies and road transportation.

The Ministry of Military Industry, the minister is Ma Jun, who is responsible for the development and manufacture of equipment, and this time he controls the central court, and can justifiably take over all the government-run handicraft workshops, and transform and reorganize them in accordance with the assembly line work method of the state.

The Combat Training Department, the director of which is also Gao Shun, consists of two recruit training camps in Yunzhong and Baling, as well as the Shaling Military Academy, as well as the future Army University, which is specifically responsible for the training of recruits and the training of officers at all levels.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is another important and mysterious department, that is, Li Su's intelligence agency, which was officially named the Central Military Intelligence Department, and the minister was naturally Li Sulai, in order to highlight the importance of intelligence, Li Su also served as the deputy chief of the general staff.

In this way, Li Su accepted the dual leadership of the chief of the general staff and Lu Bu, but he was still directly responsible to Lu Bu.

Next, Lu Bu and Jia Xu studied again and again, and decided that for a period of time in the future, the focus of the Chang'an court would be on production and construction and recuperation, and large-scale military operations would be suspended.

The main thing is to maintain a balance between the government's finances and to train the new army and to form so many units of the Central Army that it is necessary to come up with an astronomical sum of money just for the weapons and equipment that must be replaced and replenished, as well as the generous salaries for officers and men.

All the newly formed units of the CSKA had to be dressed according to the standards of the old state army, and there were many kinds of armor, weapons, uniforms, backpacks, sapper shovels, and so on.

Moreover, the equipment of the Central Army also requires excellent workmanship, and the food of officers and soldiers in peacetime must also be guaranteed, which is a headache and high cost.

Although the Guanzhong Sanfu area recovered by Lu Bu is gradually improving, the original Bingzhou, Duliao, Jizhou and other places are thriving and becoming more and more prosperous.

However, these places were originally remote areas, unlike the Central Plains and Jiangnan, which were densely populated and economically developed, so it was still very difficult to bear these finances, let alone fight a big war.
