After the selection of generals was arranged, Liu Bei also made arrangements for the establishment of the army.

The Northwest Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, the Xishu Military Region, and the Jiangnan Military Region all match their forces in the same way that one main force is matched with two recruit armies, while the Central Plains Military Region matches their forces in the same way that two main forces and two recruit armies are matched.

Although the recruit army lacked serious combat experience and did not have the rich combat experience of the main army to support arduous operations, with their training level and fighting will, Liu Bei did not doubt that they could not undertake major combat duties.

It's better to say that if they are given some opportunities, they will definitely be able to bring Liu Bei a rich and surprising reward.

Therefore, in the Northwest Military Region, Liu Bei arranged for the Tiger Cavalry Army led by Zhang Fei and the two recruit armies of the 13th Army and the 14th Army to take Lufu County, Jiuquan County, as the headquarters of the Military Region.

The Northeast Military Region arranged to recruit and lead the Qianniu Army, the 15th Army, and the 16th Army, with Yuyang County, Yuyang County, as the headquarters of the Military Region.

The Xishu Military Region arranged for Liu Sheng to command the Shence Army, the 17th Army, and the 18th Army, with Jiangyang County, Qianwei County, as the headquarters of the Military Region.

The Jiangnan Military Region arranged for Guan Yu to command the Tianwei Army, the 19th Army, and the 20th Army, as well as the three battalions of the Nanyang Battalion, the Lujiang Battalion, and the Jiujiang Battalion, with Jiangling County, Nanjun County, as the headquarters of the military region.

The Central Plains Military Region arranged for Xu Huang to command the Tiger Ben Army and the Eagle Yang Army under the command of Cao Ren, and also arranged for the 21st Army and the 22nd Army to accept Xu Huang's command, with Changyi County, Shanyang County as the headquarters of the Military Region.

The remaining six main armies and two recruit armies remained in the Central Theater of Operations, under the personal command of Liu Bei, who himself was the supreme head of the Central Military Region - the general.

After such a simple and thorough reorganization of the army and the adjustment of the army's garrison, Liu Bei ordered the military headquarters of the General's Mansion to coordinate the matter as quickly as possible, so that all the army soldiers could complete all the transfer arrangements within one year according to their latest garrisons.

By September of the fifth year of Jian'an at the latest, Liu Bei needed the whole army to complete the final transfer arrangements and begin to garrison the local area to carry out garrison and training tasks.

All expenditures during this period are all military expenditures, and efforts are made to complete the defense plan and coordination plan as quickly as possible, and it is necessary to start the overall operation within one month.

All in all, Liu Bei needs his army to be in place as soon as possible, and it is best not to complete the army's garrison plan without a full year to achieve a considerable degree of deterrence to the locality.

Of course, his big move didn't need the entire army to be in place at all, and it was enough to have some small shocks to the people inside the Luoyang Imperial Court who knew about it.

Because before this, Liu Bei was only recruiting, training, and building military camps in a bright and bright manner, and the outside world vaguely knew that Liu Bei was constantly expanding the army, but the specific number has not yet been known - more than 250,000 are specially brewed.

That's two hundred and fifty thousand! Not twenty-five thousand!

Isn't it only 120,000?

It's only been a few years, and it's doubled?

There was a lot of discussion about this matter from the government and the opposition, and they were deeply shocked by Liu Bei's military ability, which almost doubled the expansion of the army, but as a result, the financial expenditure was still so stable, and there was no sign that it could not be sustained.

And the royal family didn't react to this, whether it was Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, or the Empress Dowager Dong, they didn't react to this, and they directly passed Liu Bei's round of large-scale military mobilization and army garrison plan.

Apparently the royal family knew about this.

And this matter is indeed Liu Bei's duty and power, the general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, recruiting soldiers and horses, forming an army, and mobilizing the army to where to go.

It's just that the more than 200,000 troops all obey his orders alone, which is really shocking.

The Eastern Han Empire did not have more than 200,000 troops before, and the number of the Central Han Army was indeed not large, but in important local passes and border areas, the Eastern Han Empire also had battalions, such as the Huya Battalion, the Liyang Battalion and the like.

Including the Central Han Army and battalions from all over the country, the Eastern Han Empire in the era of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling was able to maintain a regular army of more than 200,000 people.

It's just that they are scattered all over the place, and they belong to the management of different people in different regions, and it is not certain whether some of them are full or whether they listen to the orders of the imperial court.

At that time, no one person could properly control that many armies.

Unless it's the emperor.

Liu Bei is not the emperor, but he controls most of the military power of the Han Dynasty and a considerable part of the financial power and political power, and is simply a triad of super ministers.

And what made them feel even more surprised and terrifying was that all this seemed to be so logical, so natural, Liu Bei's entire process of ascending to the throne and seizing power seemed to be so realistic, legal and compliant, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

People in the world agree very easily, accept it easily, and there is nothing bad about it.

Even before that, they didn't realize that Liu Bei was already a super powerful minister.

I was stunned to say that there was anything wrong, but since the beginning of this year, Liu Bei's power and prestige have increased greatly, and his power has further expanded, and a group of people represented by Zheng Tai and Jia Xi have a conflict of interest with Liu Bei.

This feeling is only more pronounced when conflicts of interest are difficult to reconcile.

Then, it wasn't until Liu Bei himself broke out that they realized that Liu Bei had done so many big things quietly, and he had trained so many troops quietly.

His military strength has been further enhanced, and he even has to divide his troops to garrison the whole country, and you can't say anything wrong with him.

Is there anything wrong with the army of the Han being stationed on the territory of the Han Dynasty?

Is there anything wrong with the general of the Han Dynasty to let the army of the Han Dynasty go to the local garrison to maintain local law and order and deter the subordinate?

Politically correct.

Those who oppose it will be considered dissident and politically incorrect.

What do you mean by not letting the army of the Han court come to your side?

Is the local county its own territory?

Want to rebel?

It's you!

This is likely to be investigated by Liu Bei with various reasons and excuses, threatening status, etc., and even being killed by him directly using righteous and bright reasons, resistance is rebellion, and rebellion will punish your three clans, which is justified.

Therefore, in the current state, no one can use righteous and bright reasons and excuses to obstruct Liu Bei's construction of the military region and the deployment of troops.

However, they could more or less guess what Liu Bei was going to do in this wave.

By stationing troops from Luoyang to various places, it will reduce the time it takes to travel from Luoyang to various places, and it will have an advantage in reaction time, and these well-trained troops will have a huge advantage over the armed forces of some potential local resistance forces.

If there is a military confrontation, then there is no doubt that the forces opposing Liu Bei will be extinguished as quickly as possible.

If Liu Bei really wants to successfully arrange these troops to be stationed in the local area, then whatever Liu Bei wants to do in the future, the situation will be very bad.

In addition, Liu Bei also had to use the Zhongshutai of the Luoyang Imperial Court to arrange about 200,000 "county soldiers" who did not belong to the local command system throughout the world, so that the local security and armed forces would nominally belong to the imperial court, but in fact belonged to Liu Bei.

With the passage of time, at most three years, the strength to resist him will lose even the qualification to resist, and he is not worthy of becoming Liu Bei's strategic opponent at all, and that is the most terrible situation.

Up to now, although there are still some people in the conservative wing of the ancient literature school who think that Liu Bei will not tear his face to war with them, Zheng Tai and Jia Xi, who have personally experienced Liu Bei's confrontation, no longer have any hope of changing Liu Bei, and they have decided that Liu Bei is making some preparations by doing so.

Some preparation for a full-scale confrontation.
