When Liu Che walked down the city tower, he felt a little lonely in his heart.

Of the four alternative successors recommended by Wei Shang, Xu Jin is one of the more excellent.

understands military affairs, can lead soldiers, and has a reliable background and loyalty.

It's just that......

"Lack of a big picture!" Liu Che sighed.

Since ancient times, good generals are rare, and Liu Che also knows that his requirements can't be too high!

After all, in this era when generals basically rely on personal talent and continuous tempering, it is an extravagant hope to buy ten or eight Wei Qinghuo to get sick like buying cabbage on the street like future generations!

But the location in the clouds is so important!

Open the map, you can clearly see that Yunzhong County is directly facing the Xiongnu tribe in the Hetao area.

It can be said that if the Xiongnu invaded, Yunzhong would be an invasion channel that they would definitely take!

And if Yunzhong is lost, then the Hun cavalry can drive straight in, bypass the strong defense line of the Great Wall, and go straight to Xiaoguan.

And a more realistic consideration is that at present, the Han and Hungarians will generally maintain a peaceful situation in the next few years, and the two countries will trade with each other.

In this way, it is required that the county guard in the clouds not only has a rich level of military struggle, but also has a keen sense of smell and smooth means.

In other words, the Yunzhong County Guard that Liu Che wants to choose is a strongman who requires that he can fight on the horse, can calm the people when he gets off the horse, and is both civil and military!

Even in the history of the Han Dynasty, there are very few talents who can have such a prima.

Frankly. Even Zhou Yafu, the prime minister of the dynasty, may not meet the conditions!

"Looks like I've got to start the plan for the military academy!" Liu Che thought in his heart.

Tong Guò has been in contact with many middle and high-ranking officers of the northern and southern armies in the past six months. Liu Che probably learned about these generals. If you want to say that you don't have the ability, you basically still have it!

It's just that, limited by the times and their own cultural level, the vast majority of these generals, for the rest of their lives, can only be a captain and Sima, and then up, that is, they have not been able to catch it!

The reason, of course, is simple.

In this knowledge is monopolized. The writings of the military were regarded by the state as an era of forbiddenness.

The vast majority of military generals actually rely on their own experience and past traditions to do things.

In such a situation, people who can be self-taught, you can imagine.

Take a look at the current famous players!

Zhou Yafu's father is the famous Zhou Bo, Li Ji's father is Li Shang, Han Rongdang is not simple, his father is Han Wangxin, Wei Shang will not say it, he and Uncle Tian are old brothers. One of the three famous gentlemen of Zhao State.

Basically, now, all the famous generals, generals. They are all liehous, the second generation or simply the first generation.

From this, Liu Che saw a fact: in the army. The meritorious princes have mastered the way to rise.

These guys have a monopoly on the knowledge of the art of war writings. So that the generals and generals of the Han family so far are basically selected from their circles.

And most of the middle and lower-level officers. But because he couldn't get in touch with more advanced military knowledge, he could only be a big soldier for the rest of his life.

Later history also proves this!

Look at the Li Guang family!

Li Guang, Li Cai, Li Danghu, Li Kang, Li Ling!

There is also Huo Guang of the Huo Quzhi family!

That is, not middle and lower rank officers, who are incompetent.

Look at the old courtiers that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen brought to Chang'an from Daiguo!

Zhang Wu, Song Chang and even the dead Hou Bo Zhao.

At the beginning, they were just a military general of about a thousand stones, and once they arrived in Chang'an, after only three or five years of hard work, they became generals who could take charge of the forbidden army and even command tens of thousands of troops!

What is the reason for the success of these people?

The answer is simple, knowledge and experience!

Huo Quzhi is a good example, he was raised by Xiao Zhu since he was a child, and all the military books in Shiqu Pavilion were open to him.

According to the history books, after Huo Qu died of illness, the little pig adopted his posthumous son, raised it with his own hands, and wanted to create another champion, but unfortunately, the champion Hou died on the way to follow the little pig to seal Mount Tai, otherwise, what happened to Huo Guang in the back?

The facts of later generations have also proved that famous generals can be mass-produced!

The Whampoa Military Academy and the West Point Military Academy are the cradles of famous generals.

But Liu Che has never dared to put this idea into practice!

The reason is also very simple.

He did not touch the interests of the princes and lords of the class, on the contrary, he tried his best to accommodate their demands.

Engaging in scientific research in Shaofu is the emperor's own land, and it will not hurt the interests of any nobles.

However, it is different to engage in military schools!

This is to break the monopoly of the princes and lords on the army, and if they are not careful, they may lead these princes with guns to stage a change of Xuanwu Gate or seizure of the door.

Don't think that the princes don't dare!

The Lu family also thought that these guys would not dare.

As a result, the entire Lu clan died!

For more than 50 years in the Han Dynasty, there are many people who dare to wrestle with the emperor among the princes!

Historically, the little pig dared to move these guys because the Weihuo military relatives group had completely replaced them and completely held the gun in their hands.

As for now?

Liu Che lowered his head and pondered for a while.

In his hands, what he really has in his hands is Yulin Wei and Hu Benwei, plus the palace guards of Weiyang Palace itself, there are probably 10,000 or 20,000 people in total.

It can be said that there is no problem with his own security.

"It's time!" Liu Che thought in his heart.

He has also done a lot of preparations, for example, he once asked Luan Bu to write a book, wrote a book of Peng Yue's soldiers, and also tried Li Ji and Han Yudang, these three generals, all of whom had no objection to Liu Che's request, and even once showed a very enthusiastic attitude.

In addition, Zhou Yafu and Liu Che have also tried it, and Zhou Yafu is very supportive of cultivating newcomers.

Liu Che calculated in his heart, with the support of these generals, basically, it means that he has already controlled sixty percent of the strength of the Han army.

In Chinese history, if any emperor has already controlled more than sixty percent of the army's guns, others can only kneel on the ground and shout long live, even if someone is unwilling, the wheel of history will definitely crush him to pieces mercilessly!

What's more, after this examination, after this batch of officials who have been selected by the examination have mastered the local administrative power, even if the princes and ministers want to flip the table and do a vote, I am afraid that before they have time to connect, they will have to be suppressed by the lizheng, the pavilion chief and the concubines!

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Che made up his mind and instructed Wang Dao beside him: "In the evening, please enter the palace to discuss matters!" ”

In this matter, Liu Che decided to test Zhou Yafu again to ensure that nothing went wrong! (To be continued......)
