But because he has been with Lu Bu since he was a child, he has been on top of the court day and night, and he has been exposed to it.

On weekdays, I talked with those old ministers, famous Confucian Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Hua Xin and others, and they also respected Lu Bu.

He has also read the ideological textbooks compiled by Lu Bu for the Central Army, the good wish that the world is for the public and the world is the same, although Liu Xie is the monarch, he once longed for it!

He was a very intelligent monarch, who ascended to the throne at a young age, so he knew that he could not change his fate, but he could obtain freedom and achieve his ideals within his ability!

He admired Lü Bu for focusing his expansion of power and military warfare on conquest with foreign tribes, and he hated those Kwantung princes more than he resented Lü Bu!

They don't respect the king's orders, they don't have the rules of kings and ministers, and they will tear the world apart.

Many people do not come to pay tribute, and even Yuan Shu and others dare to call themselves emperors, even if they are the children of families like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the old ministers of the previous dynasty are the same as the kingless, disregarding the ethics of the monarch and the minister.

What's even more infuriating is that Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei, the relatives of the Han family, are in a safe corner of their own lives, happy and happy, how could they ever think of King Qin to save the car and restore the orthodoxy of the Han family?

Therefore, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would rather give honor to Lu Bu, and he decreed that Lu Bu be promoted to "Duke of Liang", as the first duke with a different surname since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Lu Bu himself politely refused, insisted on not accepting, and the old ministers in the court also wrote to oppose it, they believed that the ancestral system could not be changed without authorization, and Lu Bu was already a very popular minister, and it was not appropriate to be promoted again.

This was the first time that Lu Bu refused the title of Duke of Liang, in October 196.

Cao Cao had been actively preparing for a big battle with Yuan Shao, and he believed that Sun Ce's rise had become unstoppable, and Jiangdong had become the climate.

Therefore, Sun Ce adopted a policy of appeasement and alliance, and Sun Ce himself also wanted to actively participate in the power struggle in the Central Plains and gain more voice and identity.

Moreover, the alliance with Cao Cao can win over Cao Cao to help him suppress his sworn enemy Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Since Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu, especially after killing Liu Biao's nephew Liu Hu, the grudge between the two sides has become deeper, and the Jingzhou army has often attacked and harassed the two counties of Yuzhang and Lujiang.

Jingzhou's naval forces were established earlier, the training time was longer, and the scale, structure, and types of ships were also more perfect.

In terms of naval operations, the Jingzhou Army had obvious advantages over the Jiangdong Army.

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other generals can't fight on land, but they are very good at water warfare, even with Zhou Yu's talent, they can only defend Chaisang, and dare not counterattack Jiangxia.

Cao Cao married his niece Xu to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang, and married Sun Ben's daughter for his son Cao Zhang.

The two families of Sun Cao broke the siege alliance through their in-laws, resisted Yuan Shao in the north and rejected Liu Biao in the south.

In February 197, Lu Bu's strong genes worked wonders, the two wives Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao gave birth at the same time, Da Qiao gave birth to a son, Lu Bu's third son, named Lu Yi, and Xiao Qiao gave birth to a daughter, named Lu Ge.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty thought that this was auspicious from heaven, and issued a decree for the second time, canonizing Lu Bu as the "Duke of Liang", hereditary replacement, and giving Hanyang County, Liangzhou as his feudal country, and ten thousand households.

This time, the opposition of the Chinese military force was much smaller, and Lü Bu's subordinates also persuaded him one after another, and Lü Bu did not refuse this time, but gladly accepted the order and promoted to "Duke Liang".

In March, the results of the 11th graduation examination of the Lantian Central Military Academy were announced, and Sima Yi graduated with honors in 18 subjects and was awarded the Gold Medal.

It has also become the third full-honor graduate since the establishment of the Central Military Academy after Yu Ban and Ma Chao.

According to the regulations, Sima Yi was exempted from the examination and entered the advanced training course for middle-level officers of the Central Army University for a period of one year, and after graduation, he could serve as a battalion-level officer.

At the graduation ceremony, even Sima Fang, who opposed him studying in a military academy, still came to attend happily.

Especially when Lu Bu presented the gold medal to Sima Yi, he burst into tears with excitement.

It was also in this month that Liangzhou officially began to implement the nomadic policy, and Tuntian had been practicing it for many years.

The nomadic troops of the Han army first entered the Yiwu region north of the Tianshan Mountains and the vicinity of Puzhihai for nomadic herding, while the road construction army was building a post-level Silk Road.

In particular, rock asphalt was accidentally discovered in Liangzhou, and natural asphalt was found in the Western Regions, which made Lu Bu like a treasure.

He ordered Ma Jun to organize people to experiment with the two major functions of asphalt, one is to pave the road surface, and the other is to use it as a moisture-proof coating.

The asphalt paving method, in which rock asphalt was heated and then rolled up, was soon experimented with and the addition of gravel, crushed stone and natural asphalt was found to be the most effective, but also the most expensive.

The last solution that came to mind was to lay double-layer asphalt concrete roads on the inner-city roads and surrounding areas of major cities, and to give priority to single-layer asphalt gravel roads in remote areas, areas with heavy rainfall, and areas with high carrying capacity.

Of course, asphalt has just appeared, and it is all rock asphalt and natural asphalt, unlike the petroleum asphalt in later generations, so the cost is higher, and the efficiency of mining raw materials is also low, and it can only be used as a useful attempt at this stage.

The stable situation and the policy of leniency led to the gradual influx of the population of Kanto into the Guanzhong and Northwest regions.

The steppe peoples have been continuously defeated, so that the original Bingzhou and Duliao regions have changed from frontiers to safe inland areas.

Lü Bu decided to announce the establishment of a new Beiting Protectorate in a large area north of Duliao, which was firmly controlled by the Han army, with Zhang Liao as the first Beiting Protector.

The two positions of the Northern Court Protector and the Western Regions Protector were both promoted by Lu Bu to the first level of the State Assassin History.

The Xianbei Governor's Mansion, the Xiongnu Governor's Mansion, the Wuhuan Governor's Mansion and the Datong Governor's Mansion were set up under the Beiting Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Among them, the governor of the Xianbei Governor's Mansion was concurrently served by Qianman, the Xiongnu Governor was Jin Rigang, and the Wuhuan Governor was the head of the Wuhuan who had been obedient to Lu Bu for many years, and a new Wuhuan servant army of 5,000 people was established, which was led by Yang Ren.

The scope of the jurisdiction of the Datong Governor's Mansion is the grassland and surrounding areas controlled by the Han nomadic troops, mainly the area from the former Danhan Mountain Royal Court to Liangcheng, and the governor of the Datong Governor's Mansion is served by Zhang Yan.

Similarly, the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and the Four Metropolitan Prefectures also established permanent armies directly under their jurisdiction, but did not include the three major servant armies and nomadic troops.

Other aspects of the management, administration, and financial system are modeled after those of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the Han army, the territory of these two metropolitan protectorates is also expanding, the garrison is increasing, and the power of the metropolitan protectorate is also increasing day by day.

In the distant future, the central government was forced to constantly introduce policies to adjust and restrict, and even a large-scale civil war broke out, of course, this is all an afterthought, and during the reign of Lü Bu, it was still very stable and loyal.
