Today's second update...... Continue to work hard......

According to Liu Xuan's assumption, the Yulin cavalry will take the initiative to attack in the future, but no matter how it attacks, the Yulin cavalry is still the emperor's guard cavalry, which can not be moved easily, and it is also the most important mobile force in the Beijing division. Continuing to lead the Yulin Army is basically equivalent to staying by the emperor's side every day.

The purpose of the formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry from the beginning was to conquer the Quartet, not only to pacify the princes of all parties, but even Cao Cao and Liu Xuan intended to use the tiger and leopard cavalry to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty.

This is a tacit matter, even if neither of them has mentioned this topic, but neither Cao Cao nor Liu Xuan thinks that the formation of such an elite cavalry is just to deal with those princes in the country.

After all, the main battlefield of cavalry was in the north, and the most important battlefield of cavalry in the north was in the vast grasslands or deserts outside the territory of the Han Dynasty, which was the best place for cavalry to show their true value.

However, there is one thing that makes Cao Cao very entangled, that is, the tiger and leopard cavalry in his mind should be a heavy cavalry with armor all over the body and even the war horse, once it appears on the battlefield, it will first strike the enemy from the momentum. However, if you really want to conquer the Quartet, the heavy cavalry is undoubtedly not suitable for this role.

Liu Xuan was also curious when he went to that cultivation **, why the heavy cavalry has never been able to become the protagonist of the war in this land, and later after discussing it with a military fan of ancient wars, he came back to his senses - in the final analysis, it is because this land is too big and vast.

In the war, mobility is very important, and with a vast battlefield, then the mobility can be more perfectly played, so the light cavalry or the Mongols such archers on horseback are more suitable for this land, and the heavy cavalry that can only carry out short sprints, whether it is formation training or maintenance, and it is inevitable that it will be useless.

And because of the above reasons, the number of heavy cavalry has been suppressed below a certain number, and the effect of the war on this land that is often fought in units of 10,000 is even less - because once you participate in this kind of head-to-head battle, it is inevitable to suffer heavy losses, and this loss, even Cao Cao, who occupied half of the country at that time, could not afford it.

The historical Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, although it is a heavy armored cavalry, has no record of success, and the existence of this unit is more for deterrence and to show its comprehensive strength, rather than really used on the battlefield.

With so much consideration, Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder if his idea could still be realized, or make some changes to his original plan according to the current situation?

Positioning the tiger and leopard cavalry as light cavalry in light armor? At least the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under Lu Bu's account is this kind of cavalry, and its combat power is also one of the best in the world, if Cao Cao can form such a cavalry unit, its practical value on the battlefield is far greater than that of the heavy armored cavalry that simply looks powerful but has many restrictions.

But Liu Xuan didn't think so - one of the major reasons for restricting the mobility of the heavy cavalry was the war horse, the war horse produced in the Han Dynasty was always inferior to that of the western countries, and it is said that the red rabbit horse was of Arabian horse blood.

Of course, if Liu Xuan has thousands of red rabbits, then there is no need to worry about these things, the problem is that he doesn't have them, so he can only find a way from another aspect.

After thinking about it, it really made him think of a solution, but if that method is to be done, it will not be achieved overnight, and it will take more than ten years to get it right, but if you think about it carefully, this thing does not conflict with his original intentions, so Liu Xuan still made up his mind to let Cao Cao form a pure heavy armor iron horse.

"However, at the beginning, there was only one song, and the rest were ordinary cavalry. "Yiqu is five hundred people, Liu Xuan means to form a cavalry force of three thousand people, but five hundred of them are heavy armored cavalry, and the rest are ordinary cavalry.

Cao Cao thought about it, this is a compromise, but will the establishment of 3,000 people be too much?

"At present, Chang'an does not have so many war horses. "A cavalry force of 3,000 people needs more than 3,000 horses, as few as five or six thousand, and as many as tens of thousands.

"There will always be war horses, and now as long as you put up the shelf, the specific situation will be talked about. "Cavalry is considered a high-level soldier at this time, he naturally doesn't expect himself to have a few words with Cao Cao here, and then pull out the three thousand cavalry tomorrow, now it's just to make a plan first, and then do it slowly according to this plan.

At the same time, since Cao Cao chose the tiger and leopard cavalry, it means that Cao Cao wants to lead the army to fight in all directions, so the court cannot arrange a civilian position for him.

Liu Xuan's second rule of the reform of the court was that no incumbent official in the court, whether he was one of the three princes or an ordinary official who had just entered the court, was not allowed to hold multiple positions.

At present, Wang Yun has two powerful positions, Situ and Shang Shuling, and almost has the meaning of controlling the entire court with one hand, Liu Xuan also knows that the dynasties in this land, all dynasties and dynasties have such a bad custom - in order to show the importance of someone, the emperor always likes to buckle a bunch of hats to someone.

Of course, there are also people who take titles from themselves in order to seize power.

No matter what, he can't accept it, and he wants to put an end to this situation fundamentally, and directly issued an edict prohibiting the recurrence of this kind of thing - he can control it in the court, and this decree is mainly aimed at the following.

The edict has been drawn up and will be announced tomorrow when the court goes to court. Of course, he had already revealed a little bit to Wang Yun before this, but Wang Yun didn't say anything, it looked a bit like a 'silent protest', but Liu Xuan didn't bother to care about him, anyway, the edict had been issued, if Wang Yun really didn't deal with him, then he would clean it up.

As for Cao Cao, it seems that he can only find a way in the military position, as for the military department in the six departments, according to Liu Xuan's planning, it is also different from the original military department, this military department is mostly responsible for strategic advice, for which Liu Xuan also deliberately divided a staff department, and is also responsible for logistics affairs - originally the money and grain in the imperial court should be under the jurisdiction of the household department, but Liu Xuan assigned the money and food for military purposes to the military department for management, so the logistics cannot keep up with the military operation, which is the problem of the military department.

To put it bluntly, the military department does not have the right to directly direct operations, but it must obtain permission from the military department to conduct operations, which can be regarded as mutual checks and balances.

It is the generals who really command the battle, and Liu Xuan completely divided the generals separately, and the previous Han generals were qualified to participate in political affairs, which was completely abolished by Liu Xuan.

"Since you are a general, you can concentrate on martial arts. ”

Although Cao Cao has also made great achievements in political affairs, after all, Cao Cao is not here at this time, he wants to see if Cao Cao, who is concentrating on martial arts, can reach a higher level than the original.

Of course, Liu Xuan, the candidate for the secretary of the military department, also has a candidate, one is Zhu Jun, the second is Lu Zhi, and the third is Huangfu Song, all of whom are die-hard courtiers, and he doesn't worry about the soldiers and horses he gives him in the back.

In addition, now that Cao Cao wants to form a tiger and leopard to ride, and he is ready to seal a general position to Cao Cao, then the position of Yulin Zhonglang will be vacant, and the successor will be quite a headache for him.

In addition, he also had a new idea for the reorganization of the Northern Army, no longer setting up a military school according to the original establishment, but completely turning it into an army, and the authority was clearer: in wartime, he was dispatched by the emperor, and when there was no war, he was to defend Gyeonggi and take turns to garrison the frontier.

For the new Northern Army, Liu Xuan directly named the Forbidden Army, and he asked Xun Yu to help draw up the specific regulations, and when he was done here, he would discuss the formation of the Forbidden Army, and then appoint important ministers to be responsible.

The Forbidden Army was also not under the jurisdiction of any minister, but was personally commanded by him, and the commander of the Forbidden Army did not need to obey anyone's dispatch without the emperor's edict, and the generals who commanded the Forbidden Army were appointed temporarily, and the middle and lower-level officers who were responsible for training in peacetime would also be transferred from time to time.

This may cause the problem that the generals do not know the soldiers and the soldiers do not know the generals, but Liu Xuan cannot expect everything to be perfect at this time, so let's deal with it first.

The forbidden army, the Yulin cavalry, and the tiger army, this is all the troops in Liu Xuan's hands at present, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will be added in the future, and there is no need to deliberately add soldiers and horses.

As for the lieutenant and the captain of the city gate under the command of Zhi Jinwu, these two departments Liu Xuan will also be reorganized and abolished, and in the future, the defense affairs will be handed over to the regular army, otherwise what is the use of the forbidden army? When there is a war, there is a war, and when there is no war, where do you drink tea and chat?

Lieutenants and Captains of the City Gate could be changed to police agencies similar to later police agencies, specializing in policing and patrolling......

Looking at the messy paper that was written by himself, Liu Xuan smiled bitterly.

"The more I think about this mess, the more it becomes. ”

As soon as Cao Cao left, he wrote and painted here, just to think about where he needed to change, but the more he wrote, the more he found that the current system was really difficult for him to be satisfied with.

was having a headache, and Lu Bu happened to arrive, so Liu Xuan put aside the paper in front of him and called Lu Bu in.

There is nothing else to do when I find Lu Bu, it is nothing more than to discuss the adaptation of the Tiger Ben Army.

Originally, the Tiger Ben Army was the Son of Heaven's guard, and most of the soldiers were heavy infantry, and after Lu Bu became the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, there were more Bingzhou iron cavalry close to everything, Liu Xuan was ready to make up Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry by 1,000, and then change the Tiger Ben Army from the guard accusation to the minions of the Son of Heaven, and the same as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, to pacify the Quartet for him.

After talking to Lu Bu about this, Lu Bu naturally had no reason to disagree, the emperor wanted to help him increase the number of elite soldiers, he was too late to be happy, where would he object?

The more the Son of Heaven did this, the more it showed that the Son of Heaven valued him, and then the emperor gave him a secret decree: "Tomorrow, lead the Tiger Ben Guards to garrison the Jinhua Palace, and listen to my orders." It is specially allowed to go to the temple with a halberd to protect my left and right. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately understood that the emperor was going to make a big move, and immediately surrendered it.
