Chapter 486: Pingyang is in an emergency

In just ten days, he can train an army, for Cao Liang, this is simply a task that cannot be completed at all, even if he hangs up.

The training of the army is a long and arduous matter, and it is only after a thousand days that the soldiers can be used for a while, and they can fight by casually pulling up a team, which is probably the era of the Yellow Turban Army a few decades ago.

At that time, a rabble of hundreds of thousands could not defeat a few thousand well-trained officers and soldiers, so it can be seen that the army cannot stand on its own by numbers alone.

But now Cao Liang has no choice, the original time of sending troops cannot be changed, after all, the situation of the rebellion is already in full swing, if the Wei army can not arrive in time, the scale of the Xiongnu rebellion is bound to get bigger and bigger, and it will be much more difficult to suppress it.

Therefore, after the arrival of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army, Cao Liang accelerated the process, and it took only two days to complete the reorganization of the five schools of the Northern Army. In the few days that he paid close attention to the training of the battalions, although Cao Liang did not expect to be able to train troops in these few days, some of the most basic military knowledge had to be instilled in them.

After all, the army is not a guerrilla, even if these newly recruited soldiers have a good foundation, but without tempering, they will never be able to integrate into the army.

The army has military discipline, whether it is a veteran or a recruit, violating military discipline will be severely punished, which Cao Liang will never tolerate, so this requires these recruits to quickly master military regulations and military discipline, initially familiar with the battle formation, so that they must advance when they hear the drums, retreat when they hear the gold, and obey the orders in everything.

Now the only thing that can reassure Cao Liang is the Yue Cavalry Battalion, although the Yue Cavalry Battalion has also joined a lot of recruits, but the old foundation is still there, and it will basically not affect the combat effectiveness of the Yue Cavalry Battalion.

In this crusade against the Xiongnu, it seems that it is still necessary to focus on the Yue cavalry battalion, and the other four battalions to play auxiliary, and strive to train the team in combat effectiveness, so that the other four battalions can quickly form a joint force in battle.

On the side of Linjin Pass, the people sent by the imperial court finally arrived, but with the death of Han Jian and Han Zhang, the Taishou of Hedong, this case of illicit salt was finally closed. Dozens of boatloads of illicit salt confiscated by Cao Liang were confiscated and put into storage, and Han Zhang's body was buried on the spot.

The Wei soldiers who had unloaded the errand also evacuated from Linjin Pass and rushed to Anyi to join the large army.

For Cao Liang, if he could catch the sore spot of the Sima family, he would definitely hit the Sima family hard, but unfortunately, the Sima family reacted very quickly, forced Han Jian to death, destroyed Han Zhang, destroyed all the evidence, and made the officials of the Tingwei Mansion helpless even if they arrived.

Because judging from the superficial signs, this case can't be compared with the Sima family, even if Cao Liang had heard about the smuggling of illicit salt in which Yipinju participated, but now that the witness is dead, he can't do it if he wants to testify against the Sima family.

At the beginning, after Cao Shuang received Cao Liang's secret report, he was extremely concerned about this private salt case, this time he was defeated in Hanzhong, and his prestige was greatly lost, and the people in the capital all fell to Sima Yi's side, thinking that Sima Yi really had the ability to govern the army.

If this case involves the Sima family, Cao Shuang is quite willing to handle it strictly, even if he can't bring down Sima Yi, but if Sima Yi can be saddled with the name of a "smuggler of salt", it will inevitably affect Sima Yi's reputation.

So Cao Shuang, who returned to Luoyang, immediately appointed officials from the Tingwei Mansion to investigate the case thoroughly, but in the end, it was still anticlimactic and it was over.

Cao Liang had almost no time to pay attention to these little things, and for the sake of the whole army, he was so busy that he couldn't take care of anything.

As for the position of taishou vacated after Han Jian's death, many people in the DPRK and China came to fight for it. Hedong County is one of the three important counties of Sizhou, the other two are Yin and Hanoi counties of Henan, commonly known as Sanhe, and is one of the important towns of Luoyang, the capital of Gongwei.

Therefore, the position of Hedong Taishou is obviously higher than that of the Taishou of other counties, and in order to compete for this position of Taishou, many people came to Cao Shuang's back door, so that Cao Shuang couldn't make up his mind for a while who would be the Taishou of Hedong.

However, it doesn't matter to Cao Liang who is the Taishou of Hedong, after all, he will soon leave Hedong County to go to Bingzhou, and now it is relatively smooth to cooperate with Ding Juncheng, and once the new Taishou arrives, it will inevitably have a certain impact on Cao Liang's itinerary and logistics support.

The food and materials allocated by the imperial court followed the four battalions of the Northern Army, and as soon as they arrived, the follow-up baggage trucks arrived in Anyi one after another.

Cao Shuang still attached great importance to Cao Liang's Pingbei Army, and asked Yousi to distribute the full amount when allocating food and materials, and there should be no slightest deduction or interception.

Nowadays, bureaucracy is prevalent in Cao Wei's institutions at all levels, and it seems that withholding and withholding the army's food and salary has become a righteous and bright thing, and the money has not entered the pockets of individuals, and the imperial court has found out, which is also difficult to deal with.

Cao Liang's Pingbei Army only had an establishment of 10,000 people, and the number was not too much, so the amount of food and materials needed was not too much.

Therefore, Cao Shuang deliberately reiterated this matter in his official letter to Yousi.

With Cao Shuang's order, these officials naturally did not dare to act rashly anymore, because the materials, money and food given to the Pingbei Army could be delivered to Anyi in full and at a relatively fast speed.

With these things, Cao Liang is even more powerful, and he can be deployed more calmly.

Seeing that the date of departure is gradually approaching, the atmosphere in the Pingbei Army has also become tense, except for some officers and men of the Yuecai Battalion, the vast majority of new recruits and veterans this time have never been on the battlefield, and in terms of combat experience, they have completely zero experience.

Whether they want to or not, this moment is always coming, Cao Liang has already given the order to prepare for the expedition, and has entered the final stage of preparation before the expedition.

At this time, Ding Juncheng suddenly came to find Cao Liang.

It stands to reason that after the recruitment was over, Cao Liang also returned the money from the Hedong County Treasury, so it seems that the two sides did not communicate too much. Cao Liang really couldn't guess what Ding Juncheng was doing.

Ding Juncheng obviously trotted all the way here, and as soon as he entered the door, his face was flushed, and he was out of breath, and it was difficult to say a complete sentence.

Cao Liang asked him to calm down and speak slowly.

Ding Juncheng breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "General Cao, something is wrong, something happened in Pingyang, and Captain Lin led the army to quell the rebellion, but he was surrounded by the Huns and was in danger.
