Xiahou Xuan said thoughtfully: "What Ziming said is extremely true, this time I went to Chang'an to prepare for the expedition, first of all, I had to stock up grain and grass and solve the problem of logistics supply. I plan to use Ren Lan as a grain and grass supervisor, I don't know what you think? ”

Ren Ran is Xiahou Xuan's cronies, and during the Battle of Huainan, he served as Xiahou Xuan's long history, this time Xiahou Xuan gave the position of Changshi to Cao Liang, so he naturally had to rearrange a position for Ren Lan, so Xiahou Xuan thought about it for a while, and decided to let Ren Ran take the position of a more important grain and grass supervisor, responsible for the entire logistics affairs of the army.

Cao Liang nodded and said, "Ren Changshi is cautious and careful, and he is worthy of this position." ”

Cao Liang and Ren Ran have worked together, the two of them cooperate very tacitly, Ren Ran's strength lies in being meticulous and meticulous, and managing military affairs in an orderly manner, but it will be slightly different from his strengths, and it is a little difficult to be a chief of staff who plans military affairs, but if he is a logistics minister, he is more competent.

Ren Lan's shortcomings are in strategy and command, during the Battle of Huainan, Xiahou Xuan did not have anything when he was in office, after all, it was Xiahou Xuan who was in charge of the army, and Ren Lan was just assisting, but when he really waited for him to act as an agent for military affairs, he seemed powerless, if there was no Cao Liang to assist, the southern army did not know which ditch to be taken by Ren Lan.

Therefore, this time, Xiahou Xuan's abandonment of Ren Ran's long history is the most sensible decision, and Ren Lan's ability to be a logistics minister is very suitable.

Xiahou Xuan asked again: "How about joining the army, or is it up to Gao Yuan?" ”

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." ”

Xiahou Xuan was very surprised and said: "Could it be that Ziming had a lot of discord when he worked with him last time?" ”

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Do you think I'm like that kind of person with a small amount of rat belly and chicken intestines?" In fact, there is a very good relationship between me and Gao Yuan, and there is nothing unpleasant happening, but I think that joining the army is not only a staff officer, but he should have made some achievements, and he can plan and share worries for the main general. ”

To tell the truth, Cao Liang and Gao Yuan went on the same expedition to join the army in the south last time, Cao Liang was extremely dazzling, while Gao Yuan had no sense of existence at all, and did not play the role of joining the army at all.

Xiahou Xuan nodded, since Cao Liang disagreed, he would give up, the staff team is very important, if there is no staff team working together, Xiahou Xuan alone can't do anything, now since Cao Liang is asked to be the chief of history, the matter of building the staff team, naturally you have to ask for his opinion, otherwise a group of people under his hands will hinder each other, wouldn't it be chaotic.

"In your opinion, who can join the army?"

Cao Liang said: "I think Yanghu and Du Pre are the most suitable. Cao Liang is about to marry Yang Huiyu, so Yang Hu is his brother-in-law, but Cao Liang did not shy away from his relatives, and calmly recommended Yang Hu and Du Yu.

Xiahou Xuan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Look at me, why did you forget the two of them, the last time they went to Huainan, the two of them performed very well, and they can join the army." ”

The last time they went to Huainan, Yanghu and Du pre-made their debut, serving as Zhonglang, although they were light and low, but their performance was remarkable, especially in the battle of Anfengdu Breakout, they played very well, and successfully led their troops to complete the breakthrough, and in the battle of Anfeng City, they led their troops to stick to the city and completed the defensive task excellently. After returning to Beijing this time, they were all promoted, one as the general of Wuwei and the other as the guerrilla general Sima.

Although they are both officials in Luoyang, they belong to different armies, and their previous contacts have become less, but Cao Liangke has always been thinking about them, and this time he summoned them to his command because he had the intention to bring them together and conspire for great things.

Although it is said that these people will grow into famous generals in the future, but anyone's road to becoming a famous general will not be achieved overnight, talent is important, but the growth experience of the day after tomorrow is also indispensable, after Cao Liang accidentally crossed into this world, it has subtly changed a lot of things, and the trajectory of this era has long deviated, and it may affect everyone.

Therefore, Cao Liang deliberately provides them with a good growth environment, which will help them grow up and take the most solid step on the road to becoming a famous general.

In this way, with Cao Liang as the long history, the staff team of the general of Zhengxi who joined the army was formed in this way, but Xiahou Xuan was not in a hurry to let them travel, but arranged for them to set off with Cao Liang.

Cao Liang asked again: "What is Taifu Sima Yi's attitude towards this expedition?" ”

Xiahou Xuan snorted lightly and said: "Of course, Sima Yi's old puppet is against it as always, if the general goes out this time, if he wins and returns, it will inevitably be a great increase in prestige, and his position in the court is becoming more and more solid, Sima Yi obviously does not want to see it, so it is reasonable for him to try his best to obstruct it." But this time the general has made up his mind, and it is by no means something that anyone can stop, so this expedition is imperative. ”

Cao Liang knew in his heart that Cao Shuang was stubborn and insisted on going his own way, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to gain anything from this expedition, but Cao Liang couldn't say this in front of Xiahou Xuan, because Cao Liang had no evidence to prove that Cao Shuang would inevitably fail, and prophets were often heretics, so even if Cao Liang really knew the result of the expedition, it was impossible to say it at this time.

What's more, it is indeed not appropriate to pour cold water on the head of Xiahou Xuan, who is confident and full of ambition, now, so what Cao Liang can do now is to give Xiahou Xuan some kind reminders, so that they can make as few mistakes as possible and avoid the possibility of failure, even if they cannot avoid failure in the end, they must also reduce some losses as much as possible.

The difficulty of the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, so Cao Liang did not have an optimistic attitude towards the prospect of cutting Shu this time, but Cao Liang also secretly had some plans in his heart, even if he couldn't win the battle, he must participate in it as much as possible, any war, even if it was a failed war, was an experience for himself.

Experience is a necessary step for growth, maybe in the future, Wu and Shu will become Cao Liang's enemies, and Cao Liang will face them after all, but at this moment, Cao Liang's number one enemy is still Sima Yi, and compared with Sima Yi, who is experienced in the world, he is still too far behind, so Cao Liang urgently needs to temper himself, let himself grow, and have the capital to compete with Sima Yi.

Cao Liang originally thought that he had ten years, but now he realized that everything seemed to be speeding up, and it was likely that the Gao Pingling incident would really happen in advance, so the time left for Cao Liang would become very short.
