Although the palace in Chang'an is in disrepair, most of it is still well preserved, and the officials of Chang'an in order to create a good living environment for Cao Shuang, clean up the palace where Cao Shuang lives, but also let Cao Shuang enjoy the feeling of being in the palace of Luoyang.

The most difficult thing in the military is the living conditions, even if Cao Shuang is a general, there are a lot of people to serve, but it is still 108,000 miles away from his usual living conditions, so the trip of more than two months has made Cao Shuang suffer a lot, and this time when he returns to Chang'an, he can finally get back a little feeling in Luoyang.

Xiahou Xuan, Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba and others returned to their respective posts and returned to their original jobs, while Sima Zhao and Cao Liang and others were going to return to Beijing with Cao Shuang, so they only lived temporarily in Chang'an.

After Cao Liang returned to Chang'an, he met Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan again, after they were transferred to Chang'an last time, although they did not go out with the army, they have been staying in Chang'an, assisting Ren Lan in handling logistics affairs, compared to Cao Liang They were born and died on the front line in Hanzhong, Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan's errands were much easier and more comfortable.

"Brother Cao, I heard that you have made a great contribution this time, there will definitely be a big reward, you are soaring, don't forget our brothers." Pei Xiu's face was envious.

Although the Wei army was defeated this time, Cao Liang still had a lot of meritorious achievements, such as breaking Xingshi Mountain when he first entered Hanzhong, sneaking up on Yangping Pass, especially Xingshi to save Cao Shuang and breaking the Golden Siege, these two feats were enough for him to be promoted to the rank of knight.

Now Cao Liang is already a captain of the Yue cavalry who is more than 2,000 stones, and if he is promoted to another level, he will enter the ranks of high-ranking officials with 2,000 stones.

Two thousand stones is a watershed for officials, and officials above two thousand stones can really be regarded as high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

What's more, how old is Cao Liang now, he is only in his early twenties, at such an age, he has already climbed to a high position of 2,000 stones, and his future future will inevitably be even more limitless.

Pei Xiu Fu Xuan and Cao Liang are of the same age, and the two of them are only six hundred stone petty officials now, compared with Cao Liang, it is not a star and a half worse, no wonder Pei Xiu is face is envy and jealousy.

"It's good to say, fighting tigers is inseparable from brothers, and there will be times when you have to rely on Brother Pei and Brother Fu in the future, so you don't have to shirk it when the time comes." Cao Liang stepped forward and patted the two on the shoulder, and said affectionately.

Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan are quite happy, Cao Liang has been in the past two years, and the speed of promotion and promotion can be called difficult to chase, but fortunately they have known each other for a long time, otherwise if they go to climb other people's high branches now, I am afraid that people may not be willing to pay attention.

Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan are very happy, by chance, they and Cao Liang got in touch before they made their careers, and now Cao Liang is undoubtedly the most powerful figure in the court, and his fame and status in the future may be beyond the reach of others.

Cao Liang has already handed over the errand of the general of Zhengxi, and he is ready to return to Beijing with Cao Shuang on the hour, and he is still serving as the official position of captain of the Yue cavalry, but after returning to Beijing, he will be rewarded, which is a sure thing.

Deng Ai and Shi Bao also made a lot of feats at this moment, and after returning to Beijing, with the improvement of Cao Liang's status, they naturally rose to the top.

However, Yanghu and Du Pre, who returned this time because of the fiasco of the army, did not get any credit, and will temporarily stay in Guanzhong as the general of Zhengxi.

Xiahou Xuan's return to Chang'an is really busy, and re-deploying the Guanlong defense line is his primary task.

Due to the huge loss of troops in Shu this time, and the Chinese army requisitioned from Luoyang will also return, the army stationed in Guanlong is bound to have a serious shortage of personnel, and this shortage will not be replenished for a while and a half, so Xiahou Xuan was overstretched and had a headache when he deployed the defense line.

A more cumbersome task, Xiahou Xuan, was thrown to Guo Huai, of course, this errand should have been handled by the Yongzhou Assassin History, that is, the statistics of the list of dead personnel of the Wei army and the follow-up sympathy.

The Wei army lost a total of more than 70,000 people in this expedition, of course, these people were not all killed, a large part of them were captured by the Shu army, and the treatment of the dead and the treatment of the captured were very different, so it must be a headache to identify who died and who was captured.

But no matter how troublesome it is, it has to be done, and the Wei army has also done this kind of statistics before, but the scale of each battle in the past was not large, and the casualties and captures were limited, so it was not too difficult to count.

But the number of statistics this time is too large, and most of the remains of the dead are abandoned in the territory of Shu, which has caused a great problem to the current statistical work.

Now that there is hardly a single corpse in the Wei army, how to identify the dead has become one of the most difficult things, and Guo Huai has to confirm them one by one through some records in the army and the oral accounts of Wei soldiers.

It is estimated that this work will take a long time to complete, and it will inevitably be full of omissions and errors, and due to insufficient evidence, many Wei soldiers who died in Hanzhong will be put on the list of missing persons, and their families will not enjoy the compassionate treatment they deserve.

Cao Shuang is indifferent to these things, he is staying in Chang'an now, basically doing nothing, all official affairs are handled by Xiahou Xuan and Guo Huai, he doesn't need to care about it at all.

Now Cao Shuang actually doesn't want to stay in Chang'an for a moment, if it weren't for Xiahou Xuanli persuading him to stay and stabilize the army's morale, it is likely that Cao Shuang would have returned to Beijing a long time ago.

Rao is like this, after more than ten days, Cao Shuang called Xiahou Xuan and insisted on returning to Luoyang.

Xiahou Xuan couldn't resist him, so he had to agree, anyway, judging from the current situation, the possibility of the Shu army launching an attack is relatively small, and it makes no sense for Cao Shuang to stay in Chang'an.

Cao Shuang immediately ordered to prepare to return to Luoyang.

The army that stayed in Guanzhong and the army that was preparing to return to Luoyang had already been separated, and they were camped separately, and when Cao Shuang gave the order, the army that was ready to return to the division immediately took action, set up camp, and prepared to set off.

Cao Shuang left Weiyang Palace accompanied by Xiahou Xuan, Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba and others, and Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Li Sheng, Sima Zhao, Cao Liang and others, who accompanied Cao Shuang back to Beijing, had already waited outside the palace gate.

At this moment, suddenly a fast horse galloped over, it was a messenger from Luoyang, who came to Cao Shuang and said: "General, and the state is urgent." ”
