Lu Bu also specially approved Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to be admitted without examination and directly participate in the second phase of study, but the graduation exam will no longer be taken care of.

In view of the large number of people who signed up for the examination, Lu Bu instructed that the deadline for the entrance examination be extended by two months in order to take care of the aspiring young people who were far away and had difficulty in transportation. In this era, it is also about talents.

The enrollment scale was also expanded again and again, and finally set at 1,200 students. Lu Bu had already planned that even after graduation, there were not so many positions to place these cadets, he could set up a teaching regiment as a seed army to cultivate talents, which was very popular in the modern army in the previous life.

After such a long period of operation, everything was on track, so Fu Yu finally had time to pay attention to the affairs of the Yellow Turban War and the military academy, and there were many useful suggestions for the preparation of the Qian Zhuang.

When he reported to Lu Bu on the work of Tuntian, he mentioned that because a large number of Xianbei slaves had joined, and the grazing soldiers and Xiongnu servants continued to capture slaves of various ethnic groups from the grassland, the water conservancy project in the Tuntian area was progressing smoothly.

Many new water conservancy projects and small sections of canals were built, and some water conservancy projects from the pre-Qin and Western Han dynasties were maintained and renovated.

Now that the much-needed works had been completed and maintained, he felt that he could not let a large number of slaves sit idle and waste food, and he suggested to Lü Bu that these slaves should continue to build roads.

In fact, Lu Bu has long been thinking about the big problem of transportation, the ancients were limited by poor transportation in production, transportation, warfare and other aspects, on the surface it is the backwardness of transportation, but in fact, the root cause is still the lag of infrastructure.

Roads are the top priority, so after Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country, the first thing to do was to "book with the same car and the same track", and built a large number of gallop roads and straight roads, and built a primitive highway network connecting the whole country.

However, road construction is still a major project, which is limited by the backward road construction technology and technological technology in ancient times. Lu Bu and Fu Zhu later called Jia Kui and Ma Jun to discuss how to build the road together.

The best way to go, the road with the longest service life, of course, is the kind of road paved with stones or specially fired bricks, which can effectively prevent rainwater soaking and can withstand the crushing of passing vehicles.

However, such stone roads or stone roads are usually built in the city, because the cost is too high, and they often need to be maintained.

Between cities, the roads in the wilderness are generally compacted with soil, and sometimes mixed with cooked soil and rice milk to prevent grass and insects from growing.

Lu Bu knew the whole set of asphalt concrete road construction methods, but due to the backward era of science and technology, he could not build roads and railways, and even rubber and tires could not be made.

Although only this kind of dirt road can be built, Lu Bu believes that the ancient Romans can learn from the method of road construction, that is, multi-layer gravel paving, drainage canals on both sides, and a certain arc of the road surface, which can effectively deal with rainwater soaking and soil erosion.

Of course, the cost of building roads in this way is relatively high, and it is only suitable for use in some special road sections. Even though it was so troublesome to build a road, Lu Bu still felt that the road needed to be repaired more.

In particular, roads should be built in the counties of Bingzhou and Duliao, as well as from the grasslands of Duliao to the garrisons of the nomadic troops, and roads should be used to connect each other, and they need to be maintained by special personnel.

In fact, the post road of the imperial court is like this, ten miles and one pavilion, which can not only be used for people to rest, but also have post guards stationed to maintain the road.

In the future, if the road is repaired, it will not only improve the speed of troop mobilization, but also reduce the cycle of food and material operation, reduce losses, and support more troops to fight in farther areas.

Moreover, if you build a road on the grassland, it seems that you can also charge the caravans that come and go, which is also a money plan.

Just when Lu Bu was getting around with one thing and work after another that he needed to worry about and be busy with, he received an urgent report from Li Su.

Li Su's intelligence network continued to extend from Luoyang, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion also provided him with space and opportunities to expand his business.

Li Su's intelligence network has expanded to all the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, as well as the major counties and counties of each prefecture, many of which are covered by the various transactions opened by Li Su and the merchants of the prefectures, such as restaurants, tea shops, brothels, casinos, inns, and shops.

This time, the urgent report is about the war of the Han army on the southern front to exterminate the Yellow Turban rebels, with the latest progress, a few days ago, Huangfu Song, Zhu? The main force of the Han army led by Y once again broke the combined forces of Bocai and Peng Tuo in Shangcai.

Bocai died in the chaos, Shangcai wiped out nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in the first battle, this time there were no torture and killing prisoners, in fact, not many people surrendered, they were already killed, they would rather resist to the end.

Peng Tuo continued to flee south, but was led by Cao Cao cavalry, blocked in Xincai, and finally Peng Tuo was defeated and committed suicide, so far, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan and Runan counties was annihilated, and the two major commanders were also killed, and only a few small leaders fled into the mountains and Daze with some remnants.

The war of Yingchuan ended, and Huangfu Song and Zhu? Y soldiers are divided into two ways, Zhu? Y turned westward and attacked the Yellow Turban Army, which occupied most of Nanyang County, including Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Xia. Sun Jian naturally led his subordinates to follow Zhu? y。

Cao Cao, on the other hand, followed Huangfu Song and turned eastward to conquer Bu Si and others, the Yellow Turban Army, who occupied the Dongjun region.

And Lu Bu was more concerned about Zhang Mancheng's Yellow Turban Army, which had already set out from Chen State, crossed Liang State, entered Jiyin County north, and arrived in Yanzhou, preparing to join Bu Si and others in Dongjun, but looking at the current situation, Huangfu Song's army was following behind.

Li Su also asked in the letter where the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Mancheng and Tang Zhou was going, and hoped that Lu Bu would give instructions. Lu Bu actually already has a plan, but an important premise of this plan is Zhang Jiao's health condition.

In history, Zhang Jiao will soon die of illness, and the Yellow Turban Army, which has lost its supreme leader, will become a plate of scattered sand, Zhang Bao is not enough to replace Zhang Jiao's position, and the Taiping Road or the Yellow Turban Army will collapse.

Lu Bu decided to believe in the strength of the tiger-faced people, let him make a decision on his own, he asked Li Su to tell the tiger-faced people, let's take an idea according to the situation, if you need support, just ask, after all, there are still a lot of armies in Jizhou.

The defeat of the Yellow Turban Army is not far off, and the next thing that needs to be faced is the struggle for power between the central and local governments, and the redivision of spheres of influence.

By suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, the foreign relatives and the party have firmly grasped the military command, personnel appointments and dismissals, and financial powers of the imperial court, and the foreign relatives have also formed an alliance with the party members, and the eunuch power has been dealt a heavy blow.

However, they still don't know how to restrain themselves, and their relatives and friends are still looting and collecting money on a large scale, making people angry. A break between the two powers and a final showdown are imperative in the near future.

How to grasp the state army also needs to be operated cautiously.
