The five tiger generals of Shu Han and the five good generals of Cao Wei were actually completely supported by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in fact, the real historical status of famous generals, the official recognition is that the sixty-four generals of the past dynasties posthumously awarded by the Tang Dynasty are the most authoritative.

The Five Tiger Generals and the Five Ziliang Generals were included in the list of 64 generals in the past dynasties, only the former general of Shu Han, Hanshou Tinghou Guan Yu, the general of the Che Cavalry, Xixiang Hou Zhang Fei, and the Wei Zhengdong general Zhang Liao, the Marquis of Jinyang, and the other seven did not enjoy this glory.

What makes Cao Liang smug is that four of the five tiger generals under his command are among them: Deng Ai, Yanghu, Du Pre, Wang Jun, except for Shi Bao, the other four generals can be one of the sixty-four generals, such a lineup can be called a bright star and extremely prosperous.

This is entirely due to the timing of Cao Liang's crossing, if it is a few decades later, these famous generals are already showing their talents, and if you want to recruit them, it will really be a great attempt to reach the sky.

Now they are either young and unemployed, or depressed, just met Cao Liang, but there will be a feeling of meeting Bole, Cao Liang entrusted them with a heavy responsibility, they will naturally return the favor to serve the dogs and horses.

Of course, what is more important is the identity of Cao Liang's traverser, if Cao Liang didn't know history, how could he be able to recognize talents and recruit these five famous generals under his command in the vast sea of people.

Now that Cao Liang has his own army, he has generals and strategists loyal to him, which will undoubtedly become the foundation of his life, and also lay a solid foundation for the confrontation with the Sima family in the future.

For Deng Ai, Shi Bao, Yang Hu, Du Pre, and Wang Jun, who had just been appointed as captains of the Fifth Battalion, the excitement was beyond words.

If there is no Cao Liang, they will be in Cao Wei's bureaucratic system step by step, and they don't know how many years they have to mix before they have a chance to ascend to their current position. Cao Liang's kindness made them feel excited, and at the same time, they were secretly determined to do their best to be a good captain and lead the soldiers to fight a good battle, so that they would not live up to Cao Liang's hospitality.

After the five lieutenants took office, they immediately began to rectify the five schools of the Northern Army.

This time, the imperial court mobilized the four battalions of the Northern Army to come, and it was dispatched according to the names on the roster, and the good or bad were completely out of the consideration of the imperial court.

However, Cao Liang pursued the principle of merit-based recruitment, and all those who were old and infirm and incompetent, and those who were free and loose in the ranks of those who were ruffians and scoundrels, were all in the ranks of dismissal.

Cao Liang's order to the fifth lieutenant was to strictly follow the standards, never be accommodating, never accommodating, never tolerated, strictly administer the army, and strictly enforce military discipline, and no one can be an exception.

Originally, this standard was already a lot lower than the standard at the time of recruitment, and this was also formulated by Cao Liang according to the actual situation of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army and combined with the current situation.

If the current army is pulled to the state, it will be completely sent to death.

In the face of the fierce and brave Huns, if Cao Liang could not cultivate an elite iron army, it would not be enough to defeat the Huns.

When the fifth lieutenant carried out the military order, he was naturally iron-faced and selfless, and under a drastic move, he actually eliminated as many as 1,000 people.

Cao Liang was still relatively tolerant of these eliminated soldiers, and those who were willing to go home were immediately sent home with money to be sent home. Those who are willing to stay will be assigned to the baggage battalion as logistics auxiliaries.

Since the auxiliary soldiers do not occupy the quota of the establishment, they naturally do not need the imperial court to bear the food and salary, and their food and salary are solved by Cao Liang himself.

Some of these eliminated soldiers chose to go home, while some chose to stay as auxiliaries, Cao Liang quickly cut through the mess, and it only took about a day to deal with this matter.

Of course, the busier ones are Shibao Yanghu, and Deng Ai is much more relaxed, because the Yuecai battalion is the army originally commanded by Cao Liang, so naturally there is no problem of elimination.

Subsequently, Cao Liang assigned and placed the newly recruited soldiers, those who could ride horses were assigned to the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion, those who knew archery skills were assigned to the Shooting Sound Battalion, those who were physically strong were assigned to the Infantry Battalion, and those who were physically agile and flexible were assigned to the Changshui Battalion.

Of course, this is only a basic general distribution plan, and the specific details should be transferred according to the actual situation.

Similarly, the Yuecai battalion was also assigned the least number of people this time, according to the new establishment of the five schools of the Northern Army given by the imperial court, it was 2,000 people per battalion, and the Yuecai battalion had almost 1,500 people before, and this time it only needed to add about 500 people.

According to the original establishment, there were only 700 people in the cavalry battalion, and only more than 500 people came to Anyi, plus more than 100 people were eliminated this time, so the tuncai battalion needed to supplement at least 1,600 people to reach the full number, which can be described as a big change.

The situation of the other three battalions was not much different from that of the cantonment cavalry battalion, and the number of recruits replenished ranged from 1,200 to 1,400,000, and the number of recruits who were replenished could roughly account for two-thirds, accounting for the majority.

Fresh blood means a new atmosphere, and a large number of recruits have poured in, which makes the Fifth School of the Northern Army show a vigorous momentum, which is very different from the original casual and lazy temperament of the Fifth School of the Northern Army.

Compared with the original old soldiers of the fourth battalion, the new soldiers far surpassed these old soldiers in terms of individual quality, and a large number of unqualified people were eliminated among the old soldiers, so that those old soldiers who stayed behind were also at their own risk, and there was no longer lazy performance.

The combination of these two aspects has given the Fifth School of the Northern Army a new look.

Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, they dare not praise more, whether it is an old soldier or a new soldier, they lack systematic training, although they wear armor and hold standard weapons, from a distance, they can be regarded as decent.

But Cao Liang knows that such an army is a paper tiger at best, and it may look like an army when arranged, but when it really starts, it is like a plate of scattered sand, because they don't know what a battle formation is, what is cooperation, and if they encounter a real enemy, there is a great possibility of collapse at the touch of a button.

If Cao Liang can be given a year or at least half a year, Cao Liang will definitely be able to build a real army, but the only thing lacking now is time, and Cao Liang is helpless.
