Lu Bu suddenly remembered that during the Western Han Dynasty, the three auxiliary capitals or border counties in the capital were also under the Qin commander's command in addition to the prefect. The commander was responsible for the military and garrison defense of the county. The commander was established in separate places and officials were appointed. He was equally valued with the prefect in the county and was in charge of the prefect. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of the commander continued to decline. In the sixth year of Zhongxing Jianwu, the commander's test was abolished in the counties and states in the mainland, and the commander's position was omitted. His position was also the prefect. Only when the border counties and the commander's vassal states continued to be maintained, or if there was an extreme situation, it was temporarily established. If the matter was done, it would be terminated.

Lu Bu advised Empress He: "There are Wuhuan in Jizhou, and the Xianbei invasions, and the Southern Xiongnu, Black Mountain bandits, and Baibo bandits in rebellion. The central government set up troops to quell the rebellion, and the force is beyond reach. It is better to restore the military system of counties and states, and let the counties and states recruit soldiers on their own, defend the local area, and fight against the enemy."[]

Empress Dowager He knew nothing about this military and political affairs, and even if he had already made Liu Bian call Lu Bu his father, he already trusted Lu Bu very much, so he could not show his obedience to Lu Bu in the court. This would make other ministers look down on him, so he looked around the other ministers. Most of the other ministers present were civil officials who were talking about the truth. Only Lu Zhi had led the troops and took the initiative to respond.

Lu Zhi thought about it carefully and agreed with Lu Bu's proposal: "Although the Yellow Turban Investiture leader Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao died, the Yellow Turban Remnants of the Yellow Turban Investitures were in chaos in various counties, such as the Black Mountain Bandit, the White Bo Bandit, the Qingzhou Bandit, and the Mi bandits in Hanzhong, were unable to be promoted and it was difficult to calm down. The empress dowager Lu thought that General Lu was right and the Yellow Turban Investitures were all abolished, and the Yellow Turban Investitures were all abolished, so that the local counties and states had weak civilian prefects and no good talents to train troops to prepare for war. The Empress Dowager could set up a commander in the local counties and states, and ordered him to summon soldiers. They could not only resist the invasion of foreign tribes, but also threaten the rioters with evil intentions, and eliminate the Yellow Turban and other Investitures, which could be used as a countermeasure to long-term stability."

Lu Zhi was sincere and loyal to the emperor and did not care about power. Naturally, he could not guess Lu Bu's plan. If he could guess Lu Bu's future plan, he would probably not agree to the restoration of the commander system, or even to move the capital to Yecheng.

Seeing that Lu Zhi affirmed Lu Bu's statement, Empress Dowager He issued an edict to restore the commander system in local counties and states. At the same time, at the suggestion of Lu Bu, a fine-tuning was made: a lieutenant was set up at the prefecture level, which was dedicated to military affairs, which was divided into state governors and governors; at the county level, which was set up a lieutenant, which was dedicated to military affairs, which was divided into county magistrates.

Of course, this system was distorted from the beginning. Empress Dowager He was afraid of offending Liu Yu. Liu Yan, a powerful local prefecture governor, so he issued an edict to let the local prefecture governor and the county magistrate appoint military chief officer on his own, which made the appointment's greatest decentralization function lose its effect, but this will be used in the future.

Lu Bu now uses this to gain benefits for himself, so he recommended Gao Shun as the captain of Jizhou, in charge of Jizhou military affairs, and belongs to the dual leaders of General Zhenbei and the governor of Jizhou.

Lu Bu further recommended Zhang Yang to serve as the lieutenant of Bingzhou, and Zhang Liao was appointed as the lieutenant of Wei County where Yecheng was located. Wei Xu, Li Feng and Xue Lan were appointed as the lieutenant of Julu County adjacent to Ye County, Qinghe County, Zhao State Guowei, Qin Yi, Chen Wei, and Li Hei were the lieutenant of Ye County, Wei County and Neihuang County, responsible for collecting and training county soldiers. As for Cheng Lian and Song Xian, they were sent to Bingzhou to serve as the lieutenant of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County.

In this way, the military power of Jizhou and Bingzhou has been half controlled by Lu Bu. In addition, the 40,000 troops led by Lu Bu himself, Lu Bu, who advocates "the power comes from the barrel of a gun" in the future court in Yecheng, must be the core figure.

After the second court meeting, an edict from the palace that "the emperor was sick and needed to rest and rest for several days" was circulated. The Yuan family was celebrating the promotion of old officials from most departments. Those old officials also rushed to Beijing after receiving the Pegasus edict. Other central officials appointed to the local government went to the office one after another.

As the governor of Jizhou, Lu Bu was also ordered by the Empress Dowager to go to Jizhou as soon as possible. The Yuan family naturally did not ask Lu Bu to lead troops to guard Luoyang. No one seemed to have suggested that Lu Bu lead troops to guard Luoyang City, so Lu Bu began to lead troops to leave Luoyang City.

Lu Bu gathered the eight thousand Bingzhou troops in Xiaopingjin Camp first, and selected more than 2,000 soldiers from Ding Yuan and Hao Meng, who were originally directly under the throne, and prepared to send them to another place.

Lu Bu had a spring breeze smile on his face: "Sirs, the Empress Dowager has an order to order our Bingzhou Army to select a unit to replace the defense with Huang Zhong's troops guarding the west gate of Luoyang City. I saw that all the dragon spirits and tigers were strong and good at attacking and fighting, so I volunteered to the Empress Dowager and let you guard the west gate of Luoyang City. The Empress Dowager appreciates us, and we cannot lose the face of the Bingzhou Army."

Most of these Bingzhou soldiers thought this was a normal defense change, and some people secretly liked to leave Lu Bu's command from then on and become a direct unit of the central government. The treatment should be better, so the morale of the army is very stable.

In addition, Lu Bu had rewarded them with a lot of money before, so they had never thought about Lu Bu's true intentions.

At this moment, a person came out of the team: "I will have a confidential matter and I want to report it to my lord in person."

Lu Bu looked closely and saw that this person was ordinary, neither tall nor short nor fat nor thin. Apart from his particularly small eyes, there was almost nothing that people could remember in an instant.

But although his eyes were small, they were very concentrated and sharp, and the eyes looked like they were staring at a wild beast.

Lu Bu immediately became interested in this person: "Report your name!"

The man bowed and bowed and said, "The last general's surname is Cao, and his name is Ling. He is the rebel thief Hao Meng, who is crazy and confused, and he is connected with Dong's thief, and killed Lord Ding. Fortunately, the lord's prince is generous and only eliminates the evil ones. The rest of the people do not care about it, and the last general's life will be spared."

Cao Xing, Cao Xing, who shot Xiahou Dun blindly, Galaxy Sagittarius Cao Xing?!

Lu Bu was overjoyed and asked with a smile: "Cao Tun Chang has the word "六后"?"

Cao Xing's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Cao Xing was a hunter, and his parents did not know the words, so they did not have any words."

Lu Bu thought for a moment: "'Mencius's nature is good, and he will always be called Yao and Shun when speaking.' Therefore, a person's original nature is good, which is better than you take the word as the original good. I hope you remember the original goodness of your origin, and only kill evil people of animals, and not innocent good people."

Cao Xing burst into tears and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Cao Xing Cao Benshan thanked the lord for giving the name."

Lu Bu jumped off the Red Rabbit and helped Cao Xing up: "I am good at archery, but I know you have excellent archery skills, but I have no worries and pushed you to the capital to set up defense."

Cao Xing lowered his voice: "Cao Xing knew the lord's original intention. The lord wanted to take all the elites to Jizhou, but he was afraid that no one would stick to Luoyang City, so he asked us to change to the city of Fang. Huang Hansheng would be able to lead the elite soldiers to Jizhou with the lord. These two thousand of us were just abandoned sons."

Lu Bu was thought about by Cao Xing, and his face changed drastically.
