Since the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty, there are many people who have formed troops in tribes and townships, such as Li Dian has nearly 1,000 soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Hong has 3,000 soldiers, Cao Cao Lai Qingzhou has made a career, and Zhuge Liang also has 3,000 soldiers. After Tuoba Northern Wei unified the north, reformed the backward tribes into an army and implemented feudal army. Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty founded the government military system on the basis of the feudal army, and its basic feature is that the people are soldiers, and the military households have served in the army for generations.

In particular, in the early years of the emperor's reign, the restoration of the old surnames and the sorting out of the township soldiers, as well as the implementation of the military-civilian registration in the tenth year of the emperor's reign, changed the situation of the soldiers' high personal dependence on the generals, and made the government soldiers truly become loyal to the emperor's army.

Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty placed the 12 guards in the center to unify the soldiers of the guards (in fact, they constituted the main body of the palace soldiers), which were the left and right guard mansions, the left and right military guard mansions, the left and right martial hou mansions, the left and right prison gate mansions, and the left and right leading army mansions, which were combined into the twelve armies. Among them, the left and right guards "hold the palace and prohibit the palace, supervise the guards and guards", and there are straight pavilions, straight beds, straight fasts, etc., and the guards are in charge of the guards, and the left and right guards are led by the guards, the honor guards, and the Yi guards, which are called the three guards, and the three guards each have hussar mansions and car riding houses, which are for the internal army (not equivalent to the internal guards).

Left and right military guards, foreign military guards.

Left and right Wu Hou is in charge of the car and escort, and the road is banned.

The left and right collars (also called the left and right collars), the guards are left and right, there are thousands of cattle to prepare the body, and the left and right collars are actually the emperor's guards.

Left and right prison doors, in charge of palace access control.

The left and right leaders are in charge of the 12th Army's account account, poor department, and resignation.

There is also ten rates of the East Palace, which is basically set up corresponding to the Twelve Guards.

Four of the twelve guards are called guards (left and right guards, left and right martial guards), and the others are not called guards. All called the guard and changed and expanded to 12 guards, combined with the left and right guards, the left and right prison gates for the sixteen guards (later used to be called the sixteen guards), which was the beginning of the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in three years.

From the above, it can be seen that the left and right guards, the left and right leaders, and the left and right military candidates are mainly internal guards; The others are external guards.

The establishment of the guard system made different types of guards combined in the twelve palaces, and the twelve governments were different from each other and unified with the guards, so that the government soldiers were more commonly known as the guards.

There is one general and two generals in the twelve prefectures, of which the general of the twelve prefectures is directly under the emperor, and the hussars and chariots are directly under the jurisdiction below. Among them, the status and responsibilities of the generals of the twelve prefectures evolved from the generals and generals of the Zhuguo Kingdom, and the hussars and chariots evolved from the Kaifu and Yitong.

It is worth noting that since Yang Jian's establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the generals and generals of the Zhu State who were ranked as nine lives (equivalent to the first product) in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were changed to the twelve generals of the three ranks, and the Kaifu and Yitong who were ranked as nine lives (from the first product) in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were changed to the hussar generals of the fourth rank and the chariot cavalry generals of the fifth rank respectively, which greatly reduced the status of the generals of the unified army and made it more convenient for the emperor himself to directly control the military government.

Moreover, at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, it was stipulated that the generals of the Zhu State in the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Great General, the General of Kaifu, the General of Yitong, the Governor of the Grand Du, the Governor of Shuaidu, and the Governor of the Metropolitan were all changed to ranks, and their titles were not in charge of the military if they did not add the general in charge of the military.

Others, such as the lord of the building, the military master, and the other generals, are still seen in the official system, and the name is relatively small, the general is not more than the eighth grade, the unified army is only from the eighth grade, the military master is the ninth grade, and the building master is from the ninth grade. In the year of the Great Cause, it was abolished.

In the third year of the great cause, the hussar house was changed to the Eagle Yang Mansion, and the governor of the house called the Eagle Yang Lang General, which was the fifth grade, and the deputy Lang General (also known as the Eagle Strike Lang General) was from the five grades, which was one and a half levels lower than the hussar general and the chariot cavalry general respectively. Its subordinate governor was changed to school captain, Shuai Du Governor was changed to Brigade Commander, and Governor was changed to team leader.

During the Great Cause period, the establishment of the 16 prefectures and the system of the 12 guards leading the government soldiers were also relatively fixed. The sixteen mansions are the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right waiting guards, the left and right tun guards (the left and right leading forces), the left and right imperial guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right guards, and the left and right prison gates. Among them, the left and right guards, the left and right prison doors do not lead the government soldiers, the government soldiers are called the twelve guards, and the twelve guards are generally called guards.

The left and right guards are named Xiao Cai, the left and right military guards are named Xiong Qu, the left and right waiting guards are named Fei Fei, the left and right imperial guards are named Shooters, the left and right Tun guards are named Yulin, and the left and right Xiao Wei are named Leopard Riders.

In addition, during the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recruited Ding Zhuang to set up the Xiongwu Mansion, named it Xiaoguo, and included it in the command system of the left and right reserve mansions, becoming another personal army of the emperor.

At the same time, since the second year of the Great Cause, each county has placed the lieutenant of the fourth rank and the deputy lieutenant of the fifth grade, and the soldiers and horses of the first county have been specially enshrined. The rank of the lieutenant is higher than that of the general Yingyanglang, and Yingyang "does not know each other with the county", so as to divide the local military power and avoid the weight of the foreign army, and later forced by the situation, and the commander Yingyang and the county know each other and chase each other, forming a situation of foreign army and local weight, Li Yuan took advantage of this loophole and was able to raise troops in Taiyuan.
