Chapter 335 It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip around
"Has the general already decided to cut down Shu?" Cao Liang asked.
Historically, Cao Shuang once sent troops to attack Shu, but it was in vain, although it is said that this event is now two years earlier than in history, but Cao Liang did not feel any surprise, after all, the situation in the world is changing, and it is normal for Cao Shuang to cut down Shu in advance.
It's just that Cao Shuang suffered a miserable defeat in history, I don't know if it can change this time?
Xiahou Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, now the hearts of the people inside and outside the court are floating, and the voices of doubt are rising one after another, and the general has to consider conquering Shu to meet the expectations of the public." When Zhuge Liang, the pseudo-prime minister of Shu was alive, he sent troops to harass my Yongliang border many times, attacked the city, and brutalized my border people. ”
Cao Liang said: "In this hurry, what is the chance of winning by sending troops to fight for Shu?" ”
Xiahou Xuan smiled and said: "To counterattack the invasion of the Shu people, the imperial court has already had a plan, but because of the continuous war between Liaodong and Eastern Wu, it has been delayed until now, and now that Liaodong is pacified and Eastern Wu is defeated, it is a great opportunity to gather troops to crusade against Shu." There were originally 70,000 or 80,000 troops stationed in the land of Yongliang, and the general decided to recruit another 70,000 troops, a total of 150,000 troops, which was enough to sweep through Shu. ”
It can be seen that Xiahou Xuan's face is full of confidence, he did not have an outstanding performance in the battle of Huainan, the main reason is because of Sima Yi's constraints, this time Cao Shuang personally conquered, with Xiahou Xuan as the general of the expedition to the west, and the capital governor of Yongliang and the two states of the military, fake festival, Cao Shuang is nominally the commander, but in fact, it is Xiahou Xuan who exercises the power to command soldiers and horses.
Xiahou Xuan felt that this time would be the time for him to show his strength, and he was naturally full of confidence in this expedition.
Cao Liang really couldn't bear to hit him, so he had to say: "Then I wish Brother Tai Chu a victory and success." ”
Xiahou Xuan said with a smile: "I didn't come here this time not only to give congratulatory gifts, I have already asked the general to serve as the chief of the general of the expedition...... Don't look at me with this look, of course I know that you are going to get married, so this expedition, I will take the first step, and after you get married, I will send you to Chang'an, so you and I have to work together this time and kill the enemy. ”
Cao Liang's performance in this battle of Huainan was extremely good, so Xiahou Xuan attached great importance to Cao Liang, and Cao Liang served as a member of the army when he went out last time, and this time Xiahou Xuan simply raised him to the position in the long history. Joining the army is equivalent to a staff officer, and Changshi is equivalent to a chief of staff, and he is the chief staff of the general's office.
Of course, Cao Liang is not afraid of war, but it happened to be in time for his wedding, so Cao Liang's face changed slightly, but Xiahou Xuan changed his words and took the initiative to wait for Cao Liang to get married before transferring, which can be regarded as a bit humane.
To Xiahou Xuan as a long history, Cao Liang must have readily agreed, the power of the long history is much greater than joining the army, the last battle of Huainan, Xiahou Xuan was injured and could not see things, the entire Zhengnan Army was commanded by Changshi Ren Lan, if Cao Liang became the general of the expedition to the west, after the long history, he would have more say in the army.
And this time, Xiahou Xuan is the general of the expedition to the west and the governor of Yongliang, which is equivalent to the leader of the expedition to the west, and the last time he went to Huainan, the expedition to the south army was just a force under the command of Sima Yi, the governor of Pingnan, and the gap between the two was the difference between the clouds and mud.
However, Cao Liang is not only satisfied with being just a long history, the last time he went to Huainan, Cao Liang was eager to train himself, and this time, Cao Liang not only had such a purpose, he wanted to exercise, but also 700 Yue cavalry.
After nearly a year of training, the Vietnamese cavalry battalion has been reborn and has taken on a new look, and after eliminating some ruffians and replenishing a large amount of fresh blood, the overall quality of the army has been improved.
Judging from the level of training alone, the Yue Cavalry Battalion is already on par with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and other cavalry teams of the Wei Army, and the only thing they lack is actual combat experience.
After the five schools of the Northern Army were reduced to foils, there was basically no chance to go out on the expedition again, and over the years, the five schools of the Northern Army had not been called in the many expeditions of the Wei State, and it can be said that the five schools of the Northern Army had basically been abolished in addition to their nominal existence.
These soldiers and horses of the Yue cavalry battalion have not even conducted drills before, let alone go out to fight, and now Cao Liang has served as the captain of the Yue cavalry, and the situation has changed fundamentally, so in this battle, Cao Liang must strive to let the Yue cavalry battalion participate in the war.
"Brother Taichu, you want me to be your long history, you can, but I don't want to resign from this Yue Cavalry Captain, the Yue Cavalry Battalion can finally change its appearance, if you change a new captain, I'm afraid it will be abolished again, my hard work for a year, isn't it in vain?"
Xiahou Xuan laughed and said, "Who said that you should be dismissed as a captain of Yueqi?" Although you are asked to be the long history, but the Yue Cavalry Captain is the same, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion is still up to you. Not only that, but the general also intends to let the Yue cavalry battalion participate in this expedition, I don't know what you think? ”
Cao Liang was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”
Xiahou Xuan said: "The army has no jokes. Ziming, this year, the imperial court has spent a lot of money on the Yue cavalry camp, and this effort will pay off after all, you give me a solid idea, can this Yue cavalry camp have the strength to fight? ”
Although Cao Liang spent a lot of money to reorganize the Yue Cavalry Battalion, Xiahou Xuan didn't have much bottom in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation of the Yue Cavalry Battalion was now.
Cao Liang said confidently: "Don't worry, the Yuecai battalion is not what it used to be, the current Yuecai battalion is called, it can fight, and it can win, even if the general does not conquer this time, I will take the initiative to ask the Yuecai battalion to let the battlefield, only in actual combat, can we better temper the Yuecai battalion." ”
Xiahou Xuan laughed and said: "Ziming, what about your words, train the troops for a thousand days, use the troops for a while, I hope that the Yue Cavalry Battalion will live up to expectations this time." ”
Cao Liang smiled indifferently and said: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it, so you can tell it clearly, Brother Tai Chu, you can rest assured, the Yue Cavalry Camp is by no means a bad breed, and it will never let you down." ”
Xiahou Xuan said: "With you Cao Ziming here, when have I ever been disappointed?" It's just that this time you just got married, and you're going to go on an expedition, to be honest, as a brother, I really can't live with you. ”
