The recruitment affair has come to an end, and the money and food sent by the Gaoling Marquis Mansion have also arrived, and now Cao Liang is waiting for the arrival of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army, but the movements of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army are obviously slower than Cao Liang expected, and there is no trace of it until now, so that Cao Liang, who has always been calm, can't help but secretly slander.

It stands to reason that such a major event as counterinsurgency is like fighting a fire, and the troops that are requisitioned and dispatched for the campaign should be vigorous and resolute, so as not to delay the military plane.

It's a pity that the five schools of the Northern Army have already collapsed, the troops are lax, the army is weak, and even the normal mobilization is so slow, if you really go to the battlefield, in the face of the strong and brave Huns, I am afraid that you will not even have the ability to fight.

At that time, Cao Liang did not expect the current four battalions of the Northern Army to be able to fight directly out, when he took over the Yue Cavalry Battalion, it was not that he had never seen the Yue Cavalry Battalion like a mess of scattered sand, and now the Yue Cavalry Battalion has been transformed into an elite journey with strong combat effectiveness after more than a year of tempering, but the other four battalions of the Northern Army are probably still the same as the original Yue Cavalry Battalion.

Therefore, Cao Liang is now anxiously waiting for the arrival of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army, and after the arrival, he still needs to reorganize the fourth battalion of the Northern Army, and after the reorganization, he will allocate it to Bingzhou.

However, the fourth battalion of the Northern Army dragged on, and it has not yet reached Anyi, so Cao Liang's plan cannot be carried out.

Cao Liang was both depressed and helpless, before the fourth battalion of the Northern Army arrived in Anyi, this army was not under his jurisdiction for the time being, and the only thing Cao Liang could do now was to wait.

To Cao Liang's surprise, Huan Fan actually arrived first.

The transfer of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army and the appointment of Huan Fan as a military advisor and the appointment of the Central Supervisor Army were issued at the same time when Cao Shuang was in Chang'an, Cao Liang did not expect that the eccentric Huan Fan could obediently respond to the order, and immediately packed his bags and rushed to Hedong.

After all, Huan Fan is well-known for being able to put on a score, and he dares to refuse the imperial court's conquest if he is slightly unsatisfactory, and even the position of a high-ranking feudal official like Jizhou Mu has refused, Cao Liang really doesn't know what kind of mood Huan Fan is in when he asks him to be a staff member of a Pingbei general.

If this guy is in a bad mood and continues to refuse to conquer, I'm afraid no one will be able to send him.

Just when Cao Liang was still thinking about what relationship to find to persuade Huan Fan, Huan Fan had already appeared in front of Cao Liang's mansion and handed the business card in.

Cao Liang hurriedly threw down the matter at hand, straightened his clothes, and went out to greet Huan Fan.

There was only a slightly dilapidated cyan tarpaulin carriage parked at the door, and there were only more than ten servants accompanying him, Cao Liang saw a person standing with his back to the door of the mansion.

Cao Liang immediately stepped forward and said with a deep salute: "I don't know that Mr. is here, Liang has missed the welcome, and he begs for forgiveness." ”

Huan Fan turned around, glanced at Cao Liang up and down, then clenched his fists slightly, and said, "Presumably, Your Excellency is the Pingbei General Cao Liang Cao Ziming?" ”

"Exactly down there."

Huan Fan bowed his head slightly, and said: "I have heard the general's name for a long time, like thunder, when I saw it today, I didn't expect the general to be so young and promising, he is really a generation of handsome men, but he looks like an old man." ”

Cao Liang said with a very respectful attitude: "Mr. praised falsely, Liang is a junior after learning, only a shallow learner, I am fortunate to be an official with Mr. Colleagues, and I hope that Mr. will not blame for teaching, it is Liang's honor." ”

Huan Fan said lightly: "The general is polite, the old man is here to assist the general, how can he be anti-guest-oriented?" If it weren't for the Xiongnu's rebellion in the annexation of the state, the old man would not have disdained to do anything about the military division, but he just hoped that this time the rebellion would be quelled, and the general would not lose what the old man wanted. ”

Huan Fan had previously sat in the position of a high-ranking official of the Assassin Prefecture, if it weren't for the contradiction with the Xuzhou Assassin History, he would still be in the position of the Governor of Qingxu, the military advisor sacrificed wine, and the nominal official position of the Central Supervisor was not low, but in fact, he was a subordinate of the staff to others, and Huan Fan certainly knew it.

It stands to reason that such a position is not uncommon for Huan Fan at all, and according to his temperament, he is likely to refuse to be requisitioned on the spot.

But Huan Fan's temperament is notoriously eccentric, when he is in a bad mood, he may not be willing to respond to the position of the third prince, but when he is in a good mood, he does what he wants.

At the beginning, the imperial court appointed Huan Fan as the pastor of Jizhou, and it stands to reason that such a high position, others have long coveted it, but Huan Fan was not as old as him because of the qualifications of Lu Zhi, who served as the general of Zhenbei at that time, and his talent was not as high as him.

Maybe Huan Fan was quiet for a long time, or maybe it was because there was no one in conflict with him in Bingzhou, in the face of Cao Shuang's expedition, Huan Fan actually agreed.

This made the people around Huan Fan surprised, let the feudal officials be the state pastor, and actually wanted to be a military adviser to General Pingbei, could it be that this Huan Fan had rested for five or six years, and his brain was broken?

Of course, Huan Fan has his own considerations, Cao Liang, the general of Pingbei, is a rare genius general who has emerged in the Wei army recently, and in the battle of Huainan, he has already shown his head, killed Zhuge Jin, the general of Wu, and moved the world.

Although it is said that the Wei army is defeated this time, but Cao Liang's record is more dazzling, burning Xingshi, sneaking Yangping, stepping on Hanzhong, outwitting gold, it can even be said that if it were not for Cao Liang's outstanding performance, Cao Shuang's army would probably be wiped out and lost at the foot of Xingshi Mountain.

It is precisely because of this that Huan Fan aroused great interest in Cao Liang, all the famous generals of the Wei State are not young, and Cao Liang is only in his twenties, and he has already achieved such amazing results, which can only show that Cao Liang's future in the future must be immeasurable.

After being idle at home for a long time, Huan Fan is about to grow hair, since the court intends to use him this time, and Huan Fan also wants to see Cao Liang's true face, so Huan Fan accepted this new position after a little consideration.

After answering the order, Huan Fan did not delay for a moment, packed his bags, only took a carriage and more than ten servants in the house, left Luoyang, and went straight to Hedong County.

Others went to the post to put on their official prestige, and went slowly and leisurely, Huan Fan was different, he was working day and night non-stop, and it only took three days to rush to Anyi, Hedong.

After entering the city, Huan Fan did not announce his identity, but wandered around the city for a long time, and finally rushed to Cao Liang's temporary apartment, handed over the famous thorn, and met Cao Liang.
