The army was the foundation of Liu He's rise and strength, and it was also the key to his subsequent rivalry with other warlords, so Liu He put it in front of the appointment of internal affairs officials.

Judging from Liu He's arrangement, this time he put a lot of thought into the plan for adjusting the appointment of this general, and also spent a lot of brains.

The Xiao cavalry guard, which is at the head of the five armies, is all composed of Youzhou cavalry, although the number is the smallest, only 15,000, but the strongest assault ability, and the most money-burning. The cost of feeding the Horse Guards is enough to feed two Dragon Guards. In particular, the three thousand heavy cavalry seems to be a small number, but it is enough to consume half of the family funds accumulated by Daijun and Shanggu in the past two years.

Let Zhao Yun take the position of Xiaocai General and command this sharp and unparalleled assault force, which is well deserved, and no one will have any objections. Zhao Yun has fought with Liu He in the south and north in recent years, and no one can replicate his achievements, and he is the first hero of Liu He's return to Youzhou this time. And letting Xia Houlan serve as Zhao Yun's deputy general reflects Liu He's unconditional trust in Zhao Yun. Xiahou Lan was originally Zhao Yun's subordinate, and he was a fellow villager with Zhao Yun, if Liu He was not at ease with them, he would definitely not let them get together.

Another point can also be seen Liu He's trust in Zhao Yun, that is, Xiao Caiwei does not have the post of military division, which means that Zhao Yun has the final say and will not be subject to any supervision and restriction.

The second in the fifth army is the Dragon and Tiger Guard, this army will be composed of all the children of the Han family, and the main general will be Liu He himself, which fully reflects the characteristics of the Guards. This force will be expanded to 25,000 men, the largest of all armies. In order to ensure that Longhuwei can meet various combat needs, Liu He equipped Longhuwei with light cavalry, light infantry, chariots, heavy infantry and guard battalions, and even made two eye-catching generals serve as deputy generals, and also dragged Guo Jia in as a military advisor.

Liu He personally served as the chief general of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, which had the strongest comprehensive combat power, which completely matched his identity, which not only avoided the secret comparison of the rest of the generals, but also conformed to the "unspoken rule" that the guards must be served by members of the Liu clan.

In third place in the Fifth Army was the Zhenbei Army. It is well deserved to be appointed by Xu Rong, the oldest of the seniors. After the formation of this unit, it will be composed of soldiers from Xiliang, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou, which can be said to be an important place to go after the transformation of the army. When Xu Rong first served under Dong Zhuo, he commanded soldiers from different states and different origins, and he was very experienced in ensuring the unity of the troops, so it was the most convincing and inspiring for him to be the leader of this reform and surrender army.

The main task of the Zhenbei Army is to rely on the Outer Great Wall to defend against the nomads in the north, so that the troops of the various states will not meet with their former compatriots on the battlefield, and the biggest hidden danger will be avoided. As long as Xu Rong stays in the north of Youzhou down-to-earth, Liu He will make him a general in Zhenbei in the future. Liu He did not assign military divisions to the Zhenbei Army. It also fully illustrates his importance and trust in Xu Rong. If Xu Rong didn't have the talent to lead an army alone, Liu He would not have bothered so much to get Xu Rong back to Youzhou.

The fourth in the fifth army is the Youyan Army, which is headed by Zhang He, who has outstanding ability and outstanding military achievements, and is also expected. The Youyan army seems to be the column head in the crack of the wall, and there is nowhere to use it, but this is all temporary, and Liu He naturally has his far-reaching considerations when he deploys it in Zhuo County. Once the overall situation in Jizhou is decided, the Youyan Army can enter the Flying Fox Road from Wuruan Pass at any time. then approached Taiyuan County in the merged state and gave Yuan Shao a knife in the waist.

The Duliao Army, which is at the end of the Fifth Army, is headed by Xian Yuyin, who has not yet recovered, as the main general, and it seems that there is a sense of care in it. Because Tai Shici is obviously more qualified for this position, but in fact, it is not. The Liao army will be the main force to attack Gongsun Du in Liaodong in the future, and Liu He will also allocate a water division for this army, which is enough to show that he attaches no less importance to this army than other troops.

Liu He took into account the fact that Xian Yuyin's prestige in Youzhou is sufficient, but his comprehensive ability is slightly weaker. Therefore, he was equipped with the most powerful deputy general Xu Huang and the military advisor Li Ru, who was second only to Guo Jia, so as to completely make up for the shortcomings of the main general's weak ability. With Xu Huang's potential, he will not be able to run away from any army commander in the future. But his qualifications and military exploits are still insufficient, so he was given to Xian Yuyin by Liu He. Liu He originally wanted Xu Huang to be the deputy general of Long Huwei and manage the troops for himself.

Liu He had joked with Xian Yuyin at the beginning, saying that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would let Xian Yuyin take a force to Liaodong to pacify Gongsun Du, but now it seems that he had this idea at the beginning.

As for how to arrange Xian Yufu and Tai Shici on the Jizhou side, although Liu He has a general direction, it still depends on the development of the war. If the battle is fierce, Liu He will not only have to expand the troops of Xian Yufu and Tai Shici, but even he himself may personally lead his troops south to reinforce them.

The Shenxi army in Luoyang was headed by Li Yan, which was only an expedient measure, although Li Yan was comprehensive, but the future development was still above the court, rather than charging into battle. In fact, there is a fierce general from Nanyang who is the best candidate to be the chief general of the Shenxi Army, but it is a pity that this fierce general is now stationed in the south of Jingzhou with Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan, and Liu He will not be able to get him for a while.

Among Liu He's arrangements for military generals, what is called a stroke of genius is the appointment of Liu Yu's old subordinates Wei Dun and Zhang Zhan. These two people have been guarding the pass for a long time, so they are far away from the center of power, and they are typical of hard work without merit, if Liu He can't arrange these two people well, it will chill the hearts of many old people in Youzhou, which is naturally not what Liu He is willing to see.

Let Weidun be appointed as the Taishou of Yuyang County and Zhang Zan as the Taishou of Zhuo County, which not only promoted the positions of the two, but also made a good start for the military generals to become civilian officials. In the future, there will be more and more capable generals under Liu He, and high-ranking generals like Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin can transition to internal affairs officials, which will not hurt the face of good brothers, but also let everyone see Liu He's affection and righteousness.

Liu He finished introducing the personnel adjustment plan for the military generals to his father, and also explained the adjustment opinions of the civilian officials in detail.

It should be noted that on the military side, Liu He is talking about adjusting the plan, while the civilian side is adjusting the opinion. The so-called opinion is the meaning of reference. The military general's appointment of Liu He listened to Liu Yu's opinions, so it was said that it was a plan, and the adjustment of the civil official was to propose an appointment to the father, so that the responsibilities and tasks of the father and son were divided without a trace but very naturally.

Liu He continued to dominate the expedition, Liu Yu continued to dominate internal affairs, and the father and son could also give each other opinions, such a distribution of power was completely in line with Guo Jia's plan for Liu He.

Liu He proposed to his father to appoint Han Heng as the Taishou of Bohai County. Chen Yi was appointed as the Taishou of Youbeiping County, and as for Liaoxi County, which has the widest and most dangerous territory, Tian Chou, who is an all-round civil and military officer, was appointed as Taishou. In addition, in order to take care of Wei You and Cheng Xu's two old subordinates, they can also be named as Daijun Taishou and Shanggu Taishou respectively, holding two thousand stone of Yulu, but the political affairs are still presided over by Shi Liu Hui, the head of the Wuhuan Lieutenant Mansion.

Liu Yu basically agreed with Liu He's proposed list of candidates for Taishou, but he did not accept it all, he thought that Chen Yi's talent was not enough to serve as the Taishou of the border fortress of Youbeiping, so he was ready to transfer Liu Zheng of Jizhou back to serve as the Taishou of Youbeiping County. Then let Xin Bi succeed Liu Zheng as the minister of Anping. As for Chen Yi, Liu Yu planned to let him do a job by his side and exercise for a few years.

Liu He suddenly thought that Xin Bi's brother Xin Ping was still working in Yuan Shao's camp, and hurriedly reminded Liu Yu, but Liu Yu smiled and said: "It is precisely because Xin Bi is Xin Ping's clan brother that his father wants to send him to Anping Kingdom, so as to test Xin Bi's true intention to take the initiative to serve." ”

"Father, you are so insidious...... Oh, the wrong word. So you're so black-bellied! Liu He looked at his father with admiration.

"Not for you!" Liu Yu glared at Liu He fiercely. "But then again, your vision of selecting and employing people is indeed very unique, and none of the talents you have recommended and introduced to your father in recent years are vain. They all have the ability to take charge of themselves. ”

"Hehe, it's better to be cultivated and taught by my father, and the child doesn't dare to be greedy."

"Poor mouth! Tell me about it, come back this time. What good seedlings recommend to fathers? ”

"There are really two good ones! One of them is called Zheng Hun, who is Zheng Tai's younger brother; The other is named Du Ji, although he was born in a bitter cold. But it's a rare talent. ”

"Well, then put them by my side to observe and train for two years, and then hand them over to you."

"Thank you father for the cultivation!"

"Don't rush to thank me just yet. How did I hear that you have a very good personal secretary, why have I never heard you mention it tonight? When Liu Yu said this, his face became a little unsightly.

Liu He knew that Liu Yu was asking about Cai Yan, but he was a little weak-hearted, so he had to look around and say to him: "Father, don't listen to the rumors outside, I and Zhao Ji abide by the way of men and women, and we have never done anything wrong." ”

Liu He thought to himself: Anyway, I didn't break through the line of defense after Sister Cai's worst outbreak, although I have done a lot of things to pick and touch, and I haven't done less things to attack my chest, but we have kept the bottom line, haven't we?

Liu An, who had been working hard, suddenly raised his head and asked his brother with a serious face: "Big brother, what is the meaning of reluctance?" ”

Liu Yu and Liu He petrified at the same time, and rolled their eyes at the little guy together.

"When Cai Yong's father and daughter arrive in Jicheng tomorrow, you can't meet the Cai family girl alone!" After Liu Yu said this, he threw the two brothers into the house and left by themselves.

"Hey, Daddy is really troublesome, even this has to be taken care of!" Liu He muttered.

Liu An, who was only three years old, was very honest when Liu Yu was there just now, and now when he saw that only he and his brother were left in the house, he immediately whispered: "Big brother, I want to tell you a big secret!" ”

"What's the secret?"

"Then you'll have to give me the best white foal, and I'll tell you!"

"It's a small sample, and I've negotiated terms with my eldest brother! Believe it or not, I'll clean you up? ”

The little guy pursed his mouth and was not "threatened" by Liu He.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask Shi Ah to pick you a white foal tomorrow, can you say it now?"

Liu An's request was satisfied, and then he whispered: "I heard my father and A-Niang talking in the backyard that they wanted to let the second daughter pass through the door at the same time, and said that they would give you a surprise or something......

"I'm rubbing! Is this the rhythm of enjoying the blessings of all? Liu He thought a little excitedly. (To be continued......)
