This time, Lu Bu sent troops to capture Luoyang and Chang'an with the thunderous momentum, and captured Sili and Liangzhou. Because the advancement was too fast, many prefects and many county magistrates were not capable of serving as officials.

After two years of study and one year of military study, Lu Bu's students in the Political College of the Central University established in Yecheng could enter the officialdom, but after all, they lack political experience, and Lu Bu was unwilling to become a disciple of Emperor Ling of Han, Hongdu, like a disciple of Emperor Ling of Han, who would become a county magistrate and a governor as soon as they graduated. Therefore, the students of the Political College of the Lü Bu and the military personnel who changed from the Central Army all started with county officials and county officials, and never started with county magistrates and county prefects from the beginning. In this way, among the personnel who Lu Bu was interested in, they could serve as county magistrates, and few were the county magistrates.

Lu Bu could have the military generals stationed in various places also take charge of county magistrates and county prefects, but he had already set up local military positions such as township magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, prefects, and prefects at all levels to divide the military power. He no longer had the establishment of local military and political power similar to later governors and governors, so he had to use literati as county magistrates and county prefects.

Lu Bu stared at the map in front of him, and there was still a large area where there were no capable officials to govern. Even though township lieutenants, county lieutenants and county lieutenants at all levels led their troops there to polite and set up a grassroots defense system, there were no capable officials to handle government affairs, the people could not be stable, local order was not smooth, rural commerce and other industries were not prosperous, and the court could not obtain taxes, so it was urgent to find a qualified governing official for each occupied area.

Ju Su saw the worries in Lu Bu's heart, and hesitated for a moment. Then he said firmly: "Lord, among the officials of the pseudo-Luoyang court who were taken to Yecheng, there are actually some political talents to use. Among them, Zhong Yao, a Changshe from Yingchuan, can be regarded as a great political talent, and the lord should not be missed."

Lu Bu was overjoyed. It turned out that Zhong Yao did not escape from Luoyang like Xun You. Instead, he was captured by his own army, because Lu Bu had been busy arranging military operations before and had no time to ask about the details of these prisoners. If he knew that Zhong Yao was in his hands, he would have visited him long ago.

Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Where is Zhong Yao?"

Seeing Lu Bu's expression, Ju Su knew that his actions to be executed first and then report were correct, so he smiled and said, "Except for Yang Zan and Shi Sun Rui and other important officials of the pseudo-Luoyang court were all held in Luoyang, waiting for the lord to die."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Didn't this general explain that he wants to take these people to Yecheng and hand them over to the emperor to the emperor?"

Ju Su hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to the lord, although these pseudo-in-law officials were all followers of Wang Yun, Yuan Wei and others to support the pseudo-in-law Liu Xie, most of them are talented and virtuous people. If they were handed over to the emperor, the emperor would not be willing to pardon them when he was young. Therefore, he discussed with Guo Fengxiao and Jia Wenhe. He decided to detain these talented and virtuous people in Luoyang first, and after defeating Yuan Shao, he would hand them over to the lord."

Lu Bu said angrily: "Why don't you suggest to me first, but take action first and report?!"

Ju Su, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu bowed to apologize: "Report to the lord, the lord had previously instructed the Military Council to correct the lord's mistakes. At that time, the lord hated Wang Yun and other important officials of aristocratic families and took his anger on other lords' ministers. He did not dare to face the advice directly, so he had to leave those people in Luoyang first."

Only then did Lu Bu remember that he had issued a decree to instruct these military advisors of the Military Affairs Council to have a privilege. If they jointly believe that Lu Bu's decision was wrong, they could issue orders instead of Lu Bu to correct Lu Bu's mistakes.

The reason why Lu Bu introduced such a power-limited move was because he found that his decisions sometimes were not as good as a qualified politician, too emotional and lacked rationality. For example, this time, because of his long-term disgust of the aristocratic figures, he ignored talents like Zhong Yao from the aristocratic family.

After reminding the three military advisors, Ju Su, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Lu Bu calmed down and reflected on his disgust and resistance to the talents of the aristocratic family.

Lu Bu clearly realized that governance relies on the wisdom of governing the country inherited from books, and most books of this era are controlled by aristocratic families, and most scholars come from aristocratic families, so most of the political talents are children of aristocratic families. After all, poor children like Kan Ze who have no conditions and have to create conditions for studying are phoenixes. If Lu Bu wants to stabilize the local politics and live and work in peace and contentment, he must rely on scholars from aristocratic families. After all, he does not want to establish a military regime like Dong Zhuo.

When Lu Bu decided to return to Jizhou, he led the headquarters' guard division, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Zhang He to go back. Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led all the elite cavalry of the four units, with a total of 40,000 elite horses and crossbow soldiers taking the lead. Guo Jia, Yan Xing, Li Yan, Deng Zhi, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Weihuang, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang followed Lu Bu, Ju Su Supervisor Xu Huang, and Zhang He led all the infantry, infantry crossbow soldiers, equipment soldiers, and baggage soldiers to move slowly behind. Jia Xu stayed in Wancheng to continue the alliance movement with the local families in Jingzhou.

Following the official road, he rode his horse and arrived at Luoyang City for two days. The army rested in Luoyang City for a day. Lu Bu used this day to interview officials from aristocratic families arrested in the pseudo-Luoyang court and local counties.

Under the strong suppression of Lu Bu, the Luoyang court established by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Wei, Wang Yun, Yang Zan, Shi Sun Rui, etc., only occupied the counties of Henan County, Hongnong County, Jingzhao County, Fufeng County, Fengyi County, and the forty or fifty counties below. Dong Zhuo was mostly brutal and uncivilized military men, so naturally they could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country. Therefore, Dong Zhuo was forced to continue to let the children of aristocratic families in various places remain as prefects, county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates. Of course, the government affairs of the various yamen of the court were also managed by the children of aristocratic families. Therefore, the court and local government affairs of the Luoyang court were controlled by the aristocratic families, and Dong Zhuo did not firmly grasp the local military affairs. Therefore, once Dong Zhuo died, the Xiliang army would be like a mess.

Although Lu Bu was forced to temporarily use the characters of the aristocratic family as prefects and county magistrates in various places, Lu Bu used his close soldiers to serve as county magistrates and county magistrates in various places, and controlled the local county soldiers. The gun was in his hands and the pen was also to follow him. Therefore, Lu Bu was not afraid of repeating Dong Zhuo's tragedy.

Lu Bu spent the whole day to try these more than 200 officials. After temporarily breaking through his prejudice against the aristocratic characters, Lu Bu found that although these aristocratic children occasionally had corpses, most of them were not corpses. They adhered to family studies and had certain talents. Some of them could even be said to be philosophers who were all knowledgeable in all schools of thought.

However, some of the characters here are very disgusted with Lu Bu, who was born in Han, as the lord, with a family prejudice. Lu Bu did not like them. Seeing that they were disrespectful to him, Lu Bu continued to lock up these characters for labor reform, and through hard work, he frosted their arrogance and charm.

Some people are like Zheng Hun. Although they are from aristocratic families who are familiar with poetry and books, they are not interested in politics, but are interested in other industries. They are only forced to become officials under the pressure of the family. Lu Bu assigned them to many departments under the Central Army based on their expertise, such as some people go to the military department where Zheng Hun is located.

The remaining were only more than ninety positions that were barely competent for local parents' positions. Lu Bu asked about their political philosophy and political experience, and assigned them to different counties to govern according to their experience and philosophy, but none of these civil officials were allowed to serve as officials in their hometowns.

Among these ninety people, the one who Lu Bu valued the most was Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao, whose courtesy name is Yuanchang, was from Changshe in Yingchuan. He was born in a prominent family. His ancestors were known for his virtue for generations. His great-grandfather Zhong Hao was "gentle, cautious, knowledgeable, and taught more than a thousand disciples." His grandfather Zhong Di did not become an official for his life due to the Party and Prison disaster. His father died early and was raised by his uncle Zhong Yu. He was first recommended as a filial and honest person, became a Shangshu Lang, and served as a county magistrate in Yangling. History has since entered a turning point.

In history, Zhong Yao was forced to work in the court of Li Jue. Later, Emperor Xian fled from Chang'an. Zhong Yao had meritorious support and was granted the title of Shangshu Pushe. Ma Teng, a hero of Western Liang, and Han Sui had the ambition to plan Cao. Cao Cao was about to attack Lu Bu, and he was worried about Guanxi. He was recommended by Xun Yu, so he submitted Zhong Yao as the chief officer and supervised various troops from Guanzhong as the captain of the Sili School. When Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an, Chen wrote a good fortune, and Ma Han each had his own thoughts and sent his son as the qualifier.

Cao Cao fought with Yuan Shao at Guandu. Yao sent two thousand horses. When Cao's army was short of horses, Cao Cao wrote a letter to commend him and praised him as "Xiao He". Later, Yuan Shang sent Guo Yuan as the prefect of Hedong and formed a connection with Ma Teng. All the ministers advised Zhong Yao to abandon Hedong. Zhong Yao refused to respond and sent Zhang Ji to surrender Ma Teng and led his troops to attack Hedong. Guo Yuan led his troops across the river. Only half of them. Zhong Yao and Ma Chao sent troops to attack him, defeating the bandits, and later led troops to defeat the rioters of Hedong. Later, he led his troops to defeat the rebellious people of Hedong. After the young people in Luoyang, Zhong Yao moved the people of Guanzhong and surrendered, and Luoyang was revived several years later. Zhong Yao made great contributions. Ma Chao caused rebellion on Guanxi. Cao Cao conquered him, and Zhong Yao also followed the expedition and supplied food and grass, without any shortage.

Cao Pi served as the Tingwei in the Han Dynasty, and was granted the title of Marquis of Chonggaoxiang. He was also known as the Three Dukes of Hua Xin and Wang Lang. At that time, he wrote letters to Cao Cao and Cao Pi several times, but he did not get a reply. Emperor Ming ascended the throne and was promoted to the Taitu. Later, Emperor Ming of Wei personally sent a mourning to the death and his descendants were granted the title of Marquis of the Legislative Yuan.

Zhong Yao was a famous calligrapher, and he often discussed calligraphy skills with famous calligraphers at that time, Cao Cao, Handan Chun, Wei Dan, Sun Zijing and others. He himself devoted himself to his wisdom and studied calligraphy. He was with people during the day and painted characters on the ground. At night, he used his fingers to practice on the quilt, and even the quilt was often scratched. He learned from Cai Yong, Liu Desheng and others, and learned from all kinds of strengths, especially regular script, which can be said to be without any friends before.

Zhong Yao is nearly forty years old, tall, with a long beard under the jaw, and quite demeanor. Although before that, because Xun Yu and Xun You brothers advised each other, Zhong Yao missed Lu Bu in Luoyang, but this time the two met again. Based on Lu Bu's political achievements over the past three years, Zhong Yao looked at Lu Bu with admiration.

The two had a deep conversation and had a great time. Because Zhong Yao had been an official in Jingzhao area and was familiar with the situation there, Lu Bu happily appointed Zhong Yao as Jingzhao's imperial court and ordered him to pacify Chang'an. Zhong Yao happily accepted the order. (To be continued...)
