In the military reform plan, the Tiger Army and the Yulin Army, which originally had special significance, will be transformed into the orthodox field army directly under the Central Han Army.

The original political significance has been diluted in the military reform plan, while the military significance has been greatly enhanced.

Therefore, the Tiger Army and the Yulin Army maintained their original military numbers, and all of them were expanded into three battalions and one directly subordinate department, and the other five reorganized armies were the same.

Therefore, at this stage, the establishment of the entire Central Han Army was determined at 70,000 people, 21 mixed battalions, and seven cavalry departments directly under it.

And at present, the number of troops controlled by Liu Bei is probably enough to remove the special army of Bingzhou soldiers, but because there are old, weak, sick and disabled people in each army who do not meet Liu Bei's army building needs, after they are dismissed, the number of people is not enough.

After a round of careful selection of the troops under his control, the army controlled by Liu Bei in the Luoyang area was reorganized into 20 battalions and a full 60,000 men, which was still some distance from the full strength of the Central Army of 70,000 people.

At present, in addition to these 20 battalions in the Luoyang area, Liu Bei also has eight battalions left behind in Liangzhou and seven battalions left behind in Yizhou.

There are still fifteen battalions in these two states that have been recruited, formed, and trained for a long time, and have initially acquired combat effectiveness and organization.

After calculating the future situation and some needs, Liu Bei decided to directly reorganize the troops left behind in Liangzhou and Yizhou.

He included the armies of Liangzhou and Yizhou in the Luoyang military reform plan, and reorganized two army-level formations to Guan Yu and Zhao Zhao respectively, so that they could continue to stay in Liangzhou and Yizhou.

And the rest of the army and generals were all summoned to Luoyang to complete this major reorganization.

In this way, another 25,000 trained troops with a certain combat effectiveness can arrive in Luoyang and join the system of the Central Army, and the army under Liu Bei's control in the Luoyang area will be on the scale of 85,000 people.

After further calculating the number of troops in his hands, Liu Bei felt that the number of troops was still a little insufficient.

Judging from the current situation, with the addition of the two armies of Liangzhou and Yizhou, it is enough for the 105,000-strong integrated field army to control the Kansai region, but it is only enough for self-preservation, and it is in a state of more than self-preservation but insufficient progress.

If you want to deter the world, and really threaten the rest of the world, 15,000 people are not enough.

Expeditions, stays, in case there is an expeditionary mission, the number of troops needed is larger, and the defense and deterrence of important passes in the world do not need the support of a large number of troops.

Even the Eastern Han Dynasty, which liked to fight public security warfare, retained the Han army directly under the central government, such as the central Han army, the border pass battalion soldiers, and the local pass defenders, and the total number of the central Han army was about 200,000.

After this round of crisis coup, the command of the Han army, such as the border camp soldiers and the local pass guards, was not in Liu Bei's hands for the time being, and the central government's deterrence of the local government all relied on the 105,000-strong Han army directly controlled by Liu Bei, and the number was insufficient.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the scale of the army to 200,000 to 300,000.

However, it is not in line with the actual situation to eat a fat man in one bite, although the expenditure is the amount of money, but there are many aspects that need to be taken into account to expand the army, and it is not enough to have money.

Therefore, Liu Bei decided to conduct an initial round of conscription in the land of Sanfu and Yizhou, slowly expanding the number of troops, and then further expanding the army when he actually mastered more places.

He planned to strive for the formal establishment of three more armies after the reorganization of the Han Army of the seven central armies was completed, and to bring the formal establishment of the Han Army to 12 armies.

Liangzhou and Yizhou each put one, and the Sanhe region settled 100,000 people, ready to rebel against the Kanto region at any time.

Then recruit another 100,000 people, keep them under various names, and continue to expand the military power in hand.

At present, the entire area outside the city of Luoyang is now Liu Bei's back garden, and as a general in charge of military affairs, he has ample space and reasons for activities, as well as funds for activities.

He had no interest in luxury, so he used all his money to strengthen himself.

In order to reorganize the army, train new soldiers, and complete the construction of the entire army, and perfectly transplant the army building work of the Liangzhou Army to Luoyang, Liu Bei carried out military construction around the Luoyang area.

He rebuilt, expanded, and strengthened the original military camps around Luoyang, successively built army garrison camps of seven armies in the surrounding areas, and built a vital recruit training camp in the Shouyang Mountain area of Luoyang.

All recruits who have not been recognized and have not yet completed their training must enter the recruit training camp, where they will receive the most complete military training, cultural training, and ideological education.

After the cultural literacy, skills and tactics have been fully recognized, and after the entire training process is completed, the recruits can enter the army battalions of the main forces and officially begin their service.

Therefore, there are eight large army camps controlled by Liu Bei in the entire Luoyang area, and the scale is very large.

Eight large camps surround Luoyang City, vaguely forming a circle, complementing each other with the eight passes of Luoyang, forming a net, and blocking the Luoyang area.

After this plan was completed, Liu Bei once again presented the table to Xiao Tianzi, saying that after the construction of the seven mixed armies, considering the needs of the Xianbei people, the Huns and the Wuhuan people in the northern grassland, it is also necessary to build a special cavalry unit.

Therefore, he applied to the imperial court for the formation of three armies, a pure cavalry army, to deal with the threat of the northern steppe.

He can provide war horses, he can also provide professional training, as long as the imperial court allows, he immediately began to train the cavalry army, to ensure that the Huns, Xianbei people, and Wuhuan people have no idea of threatening the Central Plains, and do their best to protect the safety of the imperial court.

After a chaotic battle, Liu Bei's application was also allowed by Liu Xie, the son of the little heaven.

Those who want to oppose it are untenable, and without strong arguments, they can only talk about finance.

But in the matter of finance, they have no financial power at all, and the financial power is mainly in the hands of Liu Bei, in Zhen Yan's responsibility, it is really not good, Liu Bei can also use the income of salt to subsidize.

Isn't it better to build an army with this money than to waste it on you worms?

So soon, the numbers of the three cavalry armies of the Xiao Cavalry Army, the Tiger Cavalry Army, and the Leopard Cavalry Army were also approved and handed over to Liu Bei for expansion and use.

At this moment, Liu Bei can carry out army construction with peace of mind.

After the number of the ten armies was approved, Liu Bei held a military meeting with confidence and made comprehensive arrangements for his subordinates according to their actual abilities.

The generals who command an army hold the position of Zhonglang generals, and the number of Zhonglang generals under Liu Bei is not small.

Especially after the end of this wave of military operations, many people have been promoted to Zhonglang generals in terms of meritorious deeds, and in Liu Bei's view, they also have the military and cultural standards to lead an army.

He announced that the previously arranged military duties were only temporary measures, and this time it was formal, and decisively made a series of adjustments and changes.

Zhang Fei, Pang De, and Xiahou Yuan were appointed as the chief generals of the three cavalry armies, that is, Zhang Fei served as the general of the Tiger Cavalry, Pang De served as the general of the Xiao Cavalry, and Xiahou Yuan served as the general of the Leopard Cavalry.

Then, Liu Bei appointed Xu Huang, who was originally the captain of the Yue Cavalry, to be promoted to the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, appointed the clan general Liu Yong as the general of Yulin Zhonglang, and appointed Liu Sheng, who was also a clan general, to be the general of Shence Zhonglang.

Cheng Pu was appointed as the general of Xuanjia Zhonglang, Han Dang was appointed as the general of Tianxing Zhonglang, Dong Huang was appointed as the general of Xiaoguo Zhonglang, and Cao Ren was appointed as the general of Yingyang Zhonglang.

After the appointment of the top ten lieutenants, Liu Bei did not forget to establish Guan Yu's status and identity.

He re-listed Guan Yu's position and authority, added the military name Tianwei Army to the army commanded by Guan Yu, reappointed him as the general of Tianwei Zhonglang, and increased the food yi, so that his food yi was in the first position under Liu Bei's command.

It's the same over there, in addition to the Bajun Taishou, he also added the position of Qianniu Zhonglang who commanded the Qianniu Army, and increased his food.

At the same time, in order to meet the needs of the imperial court for the supervision of the army, and also out of his own needs for supervision within the army, Liu Bei discussed with the other three auxiliary ministers, asked for the position of Zhijinwu, and asked Gai Xun, who was originally a candidate in the Northern Army, to serve as Zhijinwu.
