Cao Liang has been prepared for a long time in terms of army arrangement, in fact, the only thing that is bad is Ma Long's position, and when Ma Long's position is arranged, the entire army is ready to go out.

However, in order to strengthen Ma Long's sense of responsibility, Cao Liang deliberately arranged for Ma Long to arrive in the party in advance, and the subordinate men and horses under his command arrived after he arrived, which made Ma Long feel that he was the main force, and the entire vanguard army was only after him.

Ma Long was in charge of the army for the first time this time, but Ma Long did not receive any special treatment, it was completely in accordance with the regular appearance of the army, after Ma Long arrived in the party, he was appointed by Cao Liang as a rebel protector, and from each battalion, 5,000 people were transferred to him, and another group was formed as a pioneer battalion.

However, Ma Long proposed to Cao Liang that he did not need to send him 5,000 men, only 3,000 men were sufficient, but there was a prerequisite, that is, every soldier had to go through his personal assessment, and if the existing army could not select enough suitable people, he would be allowed to recruit other warriors from the people.

Cao Liang happily agreed, and ordered the 5,000 people to be brought to the school and let Ma Long choose them.

The reason why Ma Long made such a decision was because he had spent time in the Chongzhou and Huainan armies, and he hated the phenomenon of cronyism in the army, but he had always served as a relatively low-level military attache and was powerless to change the status quo.

Therefore, Malone secretly swore that after he could lead the army independently in the future, he must select an army composed of elite warriors, abandon those bad habits of selfishness, and effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Since Cao Liang arranged for him to serve as a pioneer officer, Ma Long boldly proposed his ideas to Cao Liang, at first he thought that Cao Liang would oppose it, after all, breaking the bad habit of army recruitment requires great courage for the commander.

Cao Liang's attitude gave Ma Long great confidence, but in the subsequent selection, Ma Long was surprised to find that according to his requirements, more than ninety percent of the soldiers of the state army would pass, you must know that Ma Long's requirements are extremely harsh, and those who are selected by him must also be able to pull out the crossbow of thirty-six jun and the bow of four jun, which is an extremely difficult standard for most of the Wei army in the world, but Cao Liang's merger army can easily complete the selection, which really surprised Ma Long.

If in Yanzhou, Ma Long believes that at least eighty percent of the soldiers will be eliminated, if in Huainan, the situation may be slightly better, but the pass rate will never exceed half, but now in Bingzhou, his almost devilish requirements, the pass rate has reached more than ninety.

Terrifying! Even Ma Long himself was shocked, no wonder Cao Liang was able to compete with Sima Yi's 150,000 army with only 50,000 people, and such a strong individual combat ability was the strongest guarantee.

Originally, Malone was ready to recruit warriors from the people, but the selection was not over yet, and Malone was already enough to select the three thousand people he needed, and Malone also faintly regretted it, knowing that the quality of the soldiers in the state was so high, then he would pick a fart and directly collect the five thousand people under the account.

However, he had already asked Cao Liang for 3,000 people, and changing his mind at this time did not seem to be in line with Ma Long's character, so he chose the best among the 5,000 people, picked out 3,000 people, and sent the remaining 2,000 people back.

Today's pioneer battalion is already the elite of the elite, and Malone was worried that if too many recruits were recruited from the civilian population, although the physical fitness was good, they would be lacking in combat experience, so the recruited recruits still needed strict drills before they could go to the battlefield to fight.

Now Malone has no such worries at all, the selected troops are all soldiers with combat experience, as long as a little training, they can meet the needs of combat, Malone is extremely satisfied with this selection.

Yanghu was puzzled by Cao Liang's sudden appointment of Ma Long as the chief officer of the pioneer battalion this time, this Ma Long, who was sacred, could be so appreciated by Cao Liang, so that Cao Liang not only abandoned these generals who could fight in battle, but also allowed him to pick and choose in the army, which was a treatment that none of their five tiger generals had.

"Brother-in-law, who is this Ma Xiaoxing, who is so favored by you?" Yanghu quietly asked Cao Liang in private, very puzzled.

Cao Liang smiled and said: "This Ma Long, in terms of ability, is by no means below you, and he is good at taking the route of elite soldiers, and there is another set of selection of soldiers, this time it is best to hand over the pioneer battalion to him." ”

Cao Liang has always had the wisdom to know people, and Yanghu did not dare to deny Cao Liang's vision, but since Cao Liang allowed Ma Long to "toss" in the army, others had nothing to say.

In this attack on Hanoi, in addition to the vanguard battalion, Cao Liangshang also mobilized three infantry battalions, the left guard battalion, and the right guard battalion, and two cavalry battalions, the tun cavalry battalion and the Xiao cavalry battalion, with a total strength of 53,000 people.

Cao Liang has been recuperating for more than a year, except for a small-scale battle in Pingyang, most of the time he has been training and raising soldiers, as the so-called training soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, at this moment he has gathered an army of 50,000, he must have a plan.

This made Ma Long also quite happy, it seems that this time Cao Liang is ready to move the real character, this time he came to the state, the purpose is very clear, that is, to move the reinforcements of the state, although it is impossible to directly rescue Huainan, but the siege of Wei to save Zhao, but it is always possible, only Luoyang has been attacked, Sima Yiyan can ignore it, once he withdraws the army back to Luoyang, even if it is a part of the army, it will inevitably reduce the pressure on Shouchun.

Ma Long accepted Cao Liang's appointment without hesitation, the main reason was that he hoped that the state army could send troops to rescue Huainan, this was his mission, and in order to complete this mission, Ma Long really did whatever it took to complete it.

Even if Cao Liang didn't send a large army, Ma Long was also ready to take the selected 3,000 elite soldiers to Luoyang to fight to the death with Sima's army, but now it seems that he will not go alone, since Cao Liang handed over the 3,000 warriors to him, he will not let these soldiers lose their lives in vain.

With such a solid backing, Ma Long, who served as a pioneer, is even more proud, and he must do something in this battle.
