There were more soldiers and horses, and Liu Zhang naturally thought of reforming the military system.

According to the establishment of the army of the Han Dynasty, with five people as a team, two troops as a team, two teams as a tun, two tun as a song, two songs as a one, five departments and one battalion, with the battalion as an independent combat unit, generally speaking, a battalion has 2,000 soldiers and horses. But in Liu Zhang's view, this is extremely unreasonable, the cold weapon era of war is often a competition is the number of people, two thousand people into the fierce battlefield, maybe the splash will not be evaporated by one, of course, when going out to fight, two or even several battalions will be organized into an army, but in this way, it is easy to cause the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the situation of soldiers, the lack of tacit understanding between soldiers, and it is easy to cause chaos on the battlefield. Therefore, he decided to increase the number of brigades and divisions in the Yizhou Army, specifically, with two battalions as brigades and two brigades as divisions.

On the basis of the two combat battalions of each brigade, a medical detachment, a logistics detachment, a reconnaissance detachment, a guard detachment, and a brigade headquarters are newly established. The medical detachment consisted of 10 doctors and 20 experienced soldiers as assistants; The logistics detachment is a ministerial-level establishment (considering the ancient means of transportation, backward road conditions, limited transportation capacity, and excessive logistical pressure, the logistics detachment has been strengthened to be the majority of 600 people), and another 500 to 700 people have been strengthened to help transport supplies during the war; The reconnaissance detachment is composed of curved levels, and is responsible for opening roads, searching, spying on the enemy, and capturing prisoners in wartime. The guard detachment is equivalent to the brigade commander's personal guard, which is responsible for protecting the safety of the brigade headquarters; The brigade headquarters has two deputy brigade commanders, one of whom is the chief and one deputy staff officer, and a communications group of 30 people (with war horses). Each brigade was about 5,200 men.

Each division has two combat brigades, one medical office, one logistics office, one investigation office, one guard office, and one division headquarters, and the medical department has 10 doctors and 50 assistants; The logistics office is a battalion-level establishment (1,500 personnel); The Investigation Department and the Security Department are at the ministerial level, with 400 people each; The division headquarters consists of two deputy division commanders, one chief and one deputy chief of staff, several staff officers, and a communication group of 100 people (with war horses). In addition, there is a military police department in each division, numbering 100 people, which is responsible for military law and discipline, and is also responsible for statistics on military merits. After reorganization, each division had about 13,500 soldiers.

Moreover, Liu Zhang decided to copy the later generations and establish a military rank system (after several years, Liu Zhang did not understand the general titles of the Han Dynasty, what miscellaneous generals, heavy generals, what great generals, hussar generals, four expeditions, and four towns...... According to Liu Zhao's vision, all the officers and soldiers under his command will be divided into four classes and eighteen grades, that is, junior: recruit, private, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, and intermediate: second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, colonel, senior: brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, general; Honorary rank: Marshal.

Everyone was very curious about Liu Zhang's proposal, and some people said that Liu Zhang's army was still nominally a soldier of the Han Dynasty, and the military system was changed privately, and it was so unconventional that it would definitely be attacked by others, so whether to consider canceling it. However, under Liu Zhang's dictatorship, the opposition was suppressed.

Next, it's time to consider the issue of conferral of titles. Considering that the road to reviving the Han Dynasty is still very long, there are still many battles waiting for the future, if you get a large number of generals and generals to come out now, it will be difficult to reward you for your military exploits in the future (Marshal is the honorary title, Liu Zhang decided to wait until the completion of the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty and then award it to a person with outstanding military achievements), so, for the first time, all the military ranks are relatively low, the largest is not a major general, and there are only Yan Yan, Xu Huang, and Lu Su (Originally, Liu Zhang wanted to award the title of major general to Manzhong, but Manzhong took the initiative to say that he would be mainly responsible for civilian work in the future, It was unlikely that he would lead troops to fight in the first line, so he refused); Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Liao Hua, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ren were awarded brigadier generals; Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Tai, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Li Dian, Hou Cheng, Wu Yi, Li Yan, and Yu Ban were awarded colonels, and the rest of the congregations were awarded colonels and lieutenant colonels.

Although the level is a little low, didn't Liu Zhang say it? Want to get promoted? Talk about military exploits! The Han world is still in the hot water, as long as you have the ability and are willing to work hard, you are not afraid of no merit! The generals all felt justified after hearing this, and no one was far behind, and they were all full of energy, waiting for the day when the war would resume.

Just when Liu Zhang was reforming the military system, Liu Zhang didn't know that Emperor Xian had ordered Huang Wan, the chief lieutenant, to come to deliver the decree, and a big pie was about to fall on Liu Zhang's head.

On the seventh day of returning to Chengdu, Liu Zhang was discussing with Xun Yu and others to establish Shuxue Jingzhou College.

Since Jingzhou has become Liu Zhang's territory, of course he must treat everyone equally, and he decided to build colleges and universities at all levels in Jingzhou in accordance with the Yizhou method to train Jingchu's children. The county school and the county school are relatively easy to solve, and there are many literati and scholars who have taken refuge in Jingzhou, and if they want to get shelter in Liu Zhang's territory, they should naturally contribute something to Liu Zhang. I don't think anyone will open their eyes and refuse Liu Zhang's flat employment. However, the state study is related to the future of Jingzhou scholars, and we must be cautious, only with profound learning and noble moral character, otherwise it is to mislead people's children, or to cultivate a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have low character, what is the use? Of course, Liu Zhang also has candidates, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, these famous hermits who are famous in history, let them become officials may refuse, but if they are allowed to teach and educate people, as Jing Chu people, they will not refuse to contribute to their hometown! Otherwise, the people of Jingchu land would not drown them with saliva? Of course, in order to show respect, Liu Zhang decided to ask Xun Yu, Cai Yong, and Zheng Xuan to write a letter to them to implore them to go out of the mountain, and Shan Fu personally came to visit them with a letter and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Kuailiang......

At this moment, Zhou Cang came to report, Xindu County reported urgently, and the Han Emperor sent Taiwei Huang Wan to pass the decree, and the car had passed Xindu and was coming to Chengdu.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but wonder, what did Emperor Han Xian, or Lu Bu send someone to find him?

Xun Yu quickly figured it out and said happily: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord!" ”

Liu Zhang said puzzledly: "Wen Ruo, where does the joy come from?" ”

Xun Yu smiled: "Joy is from Luoyang!" ”

"What does Wen Ruo mean?"

"Yes, the Holy Envoy is coming at this time, and he must have come to reward him by order. First, the Lord convicted Wang Rui and escorted Wang Rui's family to the capital to discuss the crime, which maintained the dignity of the royal family, and the Holy Lord should send someone to commend him; Second, I am afraid that this is also Lu Bu's instructions, although Lu Bu defeated Cao Cao, but his situation is very bad, the west is Dong Zhuo, who hates to skin and brace him; In the east, Cao Cao had just been taken away by him from Yincheng, Sujuo, Fengqiu, Yanxian, Kuangcheng, Pucheng and other places, causing Cao Cao to lose more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and his younger brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong died in the chaos. Yuan Shao in the north also formed a deep feud because of the struggle for the annexation of the state; After our army captured Jingzhou, it blocked Lü Bu from the south, and now he can be said to be a strong enemy looking around and struggling. With Lu Bu's strength, if you want to survive in the cracks, you must change the current predicament. However, whether it is Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, if he wants to make peace with them now, Lu Bu will lose the benefits he has gained. Dong Zhuo's purpose is clear, return to the emperor, Yuan Shao needs Lu Bu to withdraw from the state, Cao Cao's two younger brothers died at the hands of Lu Bu, I am afraid that he will not easily agree to Lu Bu's request for peace, even if he agrees, he must ask him to return the swallowed territory. With Lu Bu's character, it is impossible to spit out the fat that reaches his mouth, and no matter what he agrees to any of the three people, his own strength will be greatly damaged, so it is impossible for Lu Bu to sue for peace with Dong Zhuo and the others. Only our army does not have a conflict of interest with it for the time being, and only needs a decree from the Holy Lord, adding officials to the lord, and without paying the slightest price, the relationship with us can be greatly eased, so why not? ”

After listening to Xun Yu's analysis, Liu Zhang nodded his head and agreed with Xun Yu's words. Although he doesn't care about the title of emperor, anyway, the territory is in his own hands, even if he is a pavilion chief? However, it is not a bad thing to increase the number of officials and knights, firstly, it can increase the internal cohesion and make the next group of people more hopeful, and secondly, it is easier to recruit talents after a high position. Therefore, Liu Zhang immediately ordered all the officials in Chengdu to go out of the city to greet him, and in order to show respect for the court and the emperor, Xun Yu suggested that the gentry and people in the city should be organized to go out to greet him.

Liu Zhang thinks that there is no need for this, because this will affect the production and life of the people, but Xun Yu said that this is a rule of the ages, if it is abolished and spread, it will inevitably make people mistakenly think that Liu Zhang despises the saint and does not know the etiquette.

An hour later, Liu Zhang led tens of thousands of Chengdu military and civilian gentry to burn incense out of the city and went to the Sanhe Pavilion ten miles away to greet the marquis.
