"Ahh Cao Liang involuntarily sneezed heavily, he rubbed his nose, feeling inexplicable, it stands to reason that it is now March when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, how can it be cold and cold in such a warm weather?

At this time, Cao Liang had already left Huguan and rushed to Gaodu.

The situation at the front line had reached a point where there was no room for delay, and Sima Yi had gathered a large army in Hanoi, which could launch an attack on Bingzhou at any time.

Ren Chaonan had already been sent by Cao Liang to escort his family to Jinyang, so he didn't follow, and Fang Bu temporarily acted as Cao Liang's personal bodyguard, never leaving behind Cao Liang.

The horse galloped all the way, and after a few hours, Cao Liang arrived in Gaodu.

In order to meet the attack of the Sima army, Cao Liang has transferred all the five battalions of the Northern Army to Shangdang, because there is no need to take into account the establishment of the problem, the five battalions have been expanded in a timely manner, when fighting with the Xianbei people, Cao Liang had recruited the Xiangyong into the five battalions, and separated after the war.

However, these townsmen Cao Liang were not dismissed, but were placed in various parts of Bingzhou as county soldiers, and asked Wang Ji to pay food and salary according to normal conditions, and strengthen the training of these teams so as not to slack off.

Cao Liang did this in order to avoid the investigation of the imperial court, and it was easy to be impeached by people with ulterior motives in the DPRK and China by increasing the establishment without authorization, and it was nothing to temporarily recruit some troops during wartime, but in normal times, it would never be allowed.

Cao Liang planted these villagers on the spot, on the one hand, he could escape the investigation of the imperial court, and on the other hand, he could be recruited at any time.

Now Cao Liang no longer has to think about the problems of the imperial court, he can expand his troops and horses without any scruples, and the Xiangyong who were originally scattered in various places are re-recruited into the army, and the establishment of the five battalions of the Northern Army is quickly expanded from 5,000 to 10,000.

More importantly, the return of these villagers can be integrated into the team in the shortest possible time and form combat effectiveness, unlike the recruits, who need a relatively long time of training and running-in.

Cao Liang, who held the secret edict, has been promoted to the governor of the rebellious capital, but he still holds the position of auxiliary general, which is strange to say, although the imperial court controlled by Sima Yi listed Cao Liang as the number one prisoner and offered a huge reward, but it has never deprived Cao Liang of the position of auxiliary general, whether Sima Yi forgot or has other considerations, it is unknown.

There is also the fact that after the death of Cao Yan, the Marquis of Gaolingting, Cao Liang, as his son-in-law and the only heir, inherited the title of Marquis of Gaolingting without objection, and Sima Yi also remained silent about this, and seemed to acquiesce to Cao Liang's title.

In fact, regardless of whether the court admits it or not, Cao Liang has indisputably become the lord of the state, and of course Sima Yi knows this, so he is too lazy to compete on these false titles, and only by destroying Cao Liang can he erase all this.

Cao Liang reorganized his staff team, Huan Fan still became Cao Liang's chief staff with the Central Supervision Army and the General of the Military Division, Pei Xiu and Lu Zhi joined the army, Fu Xuan was the main body, except for Lu Zhi, everyone else should be old people, which is also convenient for doing things.

After Cao Lianghuan Fan returned to Luoyang, Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan stayed in Bingzhou to serve, Pei Xiu served as a separate driver, Fu Xuan served as a Zhizhong engagement, and became the deputy of Wang Ji, after Cao Liang returned, the first thing was to transfer the two of them back from Wang Ji, and together with Huan Fan and Lu Zhi, a new staff team was built.

In terms of military affairs, Cao Liang promoted the five captains to the five generals in one go, Deng Ai was the general of the Yue cavalry, Shi Bao was the general of the Tun cavalry, Yanghu was the general of the infantry, Du Yu was the general of the shooting, and Wang Jun was the general of Changshui.

Taking the Yuecai Battalion as an example, when Cao Liang was the captain of the Yuecai Battalion, the Yuecai Battalion had only 700 people, and it was very normal to command 700 people as a captain.

However, the establishment of the five schools of the Northern Army was increased quite quickly, and by the time of Cao Liang's northern expedition to the Xiongnu Xianbei, the five schools of the Northern Army were already 5,000 people, and according to the establishment of the Wei Army, battalion officers with more than 5,000 people could be awarded the rank of general.

However, Cao Liang has been busy with the war, and the court has no intention of handling this matter, so even if Yang Huai and them lead 5,000 or even more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, they still have the title of captain.

Now that Cao Liang has completely broken with the imperial court controlled by Sima Yi, Cao Liang has promoted the fifth lieutenant to a general, and naturally there is no need for the consent of the imperial court.

In fact, the promotion of Yanghu Deng Ai and others can be regarded as an affirmation of their merits, since the five schools of the Northern Army have fought in Bingzhou, they have made outstanding achievements and outstanding achievements, but they have never been rewarded, in fact, it is also an unfair to Yanghu them.

Now that Cao Liang is the governor of the rebellious capital, he naturally has the right to promote his subordinates, and at the same time, Cao Liang has also adjusted the position of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

After Cao Yan died, the post of Xiaocai general has been vacant, and his position was temporarily replaced by Wen Qin, the captain of the left military academy, this adjustment, Cao Liang appointed Wen Qin as the new Xiao cavalry general, and the establishment of the Xiao cavalry battalion has also reached a full strength of 5,000 people.

Of course, this establishment will also be temporary, and then the Xiao cavalry battalion will also be on par with the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion, expanding the number of men and horses to 10,000 people, in Cao Liang's plan, in the future, the three main cavalry of the Bingzhou army will be composed of the Yue cavalry battalion, the tun cavalry battalion and the Xiao cavalry battalion, becoming the most powerful mobile force of the Bingzhou army.

In terms of infantry, in addition to the three battalions of infantry, shooting, and Changshui, Cao Liang will also add two new battalions of the left guard and the right guard, and Xian Hong and Liu Jing will serve as the general of the left guard and the general of the right guard respectively.

However, when the two infantry battalions were still preparing and starting, they had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and Cao Liang transferred Xian Hong and Liu Jing to Jinyang to recruit and train the army.

After these two infantry battalions are completed, Cao Liang will have a mobile force of nearly 80,000 people in the third battalion and five infantry battalions of the cavalry, which will also become the minimum configuration for Cao Liang to conquer the world.

However, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Left Guard and Right Guard Battalion are just long-term plans, and what Cao Liang can rely on in this battle of the party will be the five battalions of the Northern Army that he is most familiar with.

After Cao Liang arrived in Gaodu, the deployment of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army had already been completed, and a strong atmosphere of war came to the face, and the soldiers of the fifth battalion were waiting for the day with high morale.

Since the defeat of the Xianbei people, there has been no war in Bingzhou for two years, this time the war is coming, the soldiers of the five battalions are not afraid of war, but have a very strong desire to fight, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the war.
