Chapter 319: Why don't you go and grab it
After leaving the Xiaoqi camp, Cao Liang did not immediately return to the Yueqi camp, but went straight to the Changling Marquis Mansion to see Xiahou Xuan.
Xiahou Xuan served as the middle guard, and he was also busy, and Cao Liang was not sure that Xiahou Xuan would be at home, but it was not too early to see that even if he didn't come back, he wouldn't have to wait for a long time.
As a result, when he arrived at the Changling Marquis Mansion, he asked the doorman, Xiahou Xuan had just returned, Cao Liang was overjoyed, it seemed that it was better to come early than to come by chance, and he immediately entered the mansion to see Xiahou Xuan.
"Brother Tai Chu, what kind of errand are you getting for me, such a mess is too tricky, right?" Cao Liang complained as soon as he entered the door.
Xiahou Xuan was a little surprised and said, "Have you been to the Yueqi camp today?" ”
Cao Liang said angrily: "After receiving the edict yesterday, I went, you haven't seen the situation of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, the military discipline is sloppy, and the sand is scattered, how can such an army be on the battlefield and win the war?" ”
Xiahou Xuan smiled and said: "I forgot to remind you, in fact, when you are a captain of the Yue Cavalry, you don't have to perform your duties at all, you just have to stay at home, and if you have the opportunity to take a foreign post in the future, you can be a Taishou or a guard." As for the Yue Cavalry Battalion, including the Fifth School of the Northern Army, the imperial court is almost abandoned, so you don't have to pay attention to it. ”
Cao Liangqi said: "Since the imperial court intends to abolish the five schools of the Northern Army, why not simply remove the establishment of the five schools and spend food to support so many idlers, is it worth it?" ”
Xiahou Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, after the establishment of the fifth battalion of the Chinese army, the five schools of the North School have already existed in name only, but when it comes to the abolition of the establishment, it is difficult to do it. Elsewhere, it's all a radish and a pit, and suddenly there are so many more officials, and even more Shangshu has to be crazy. Therefore, although some ministers have repeatedly written to abolish the five schools of the Northern Army, the imperial court has just dragged it out and has survived to this day. ”
Cao Liang can be regarded as having understood, dare to love this bureaucracy can not distinguish between ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, as long as there is a place of politics, it will exist.
The current Fifth School of the Northern Army has become more of a springboard for the promotion of officials, after becoming a captain of the Northern Military Academy, there is no need to look at things at all, it is completely an idle position, most of the officials will get the opportunity to be promoted, obviously Cao Shuang arranged Cao Liang to serve as the captain of the Yue Cavalry, which also has this meaning, staying in this position for a period of time, there will definitely be another reuse.
Compared with 2,000 stones, the fifth grade, such an official position is not high, low or not, and if you take a step forward, you can be among the ranks of 2,000 stones, and if you take a step back, you will be unaware of everyone.
Xiahou Xuan's meaning is very clear, that is, let Cao Liang hang such an idle position, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the Yue Cavalry Camp at all, and when there is a suitable opportunity, he will find a position to guard the county outside, so it is suitable.
But Cao Liang has a different idea, it is true that the Yuecai battalion is terrible now, but if it is rectified, Cao Liang does not believe that the Yuecai battalion will still be the same, the soldiers are bearing, and the reason why the Yuecai battalion is chaotic is because there is no good leader, as long as he is willing to work hard, I believe that the Yuecai battalion will definitely have great changes.
No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, if the five hundred cavalry of the Yue Cavalry Battalion can really be trained, then in the future, when fighting against the Sima family, Cao Liang will finally have some more confidence.
Cao Liang said to Xiahou Xuan: "Not in his position, not in his politics, now that I have led the Yue cavalry camp, there is absolutely no reason to leave it alone, so it is imperative to rectify the Yue cavalry camp, and I hope that the first brother of Tai can fully support it." ”
Xiahou Xuan was a little surprised, in his opinion, the Yuecai battalion has been in decline for a long time, the army is sluggish, if you really want to rectify, it will definitely be thankless, but Cao Liang has such an idea, it is good after all, he smiled and said: "Okay, you are now a captain of the Yueqi Battalion, naturally you have full authority to deal with the affairs of the Yuecai battalion, anyway, it is that one acre and three points of land, whatever you want, if you can really train a team of elite soldiers for the general, the general must also be very happy." ”
Cao Liang said: "Brother Taichu, I am relieved to have your words." When I first arrived at the barracks yesterday, those officers and soldiers couldn't hear the drums and couldn't get the order, so I was furious and beheaded the two people, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation. ”
Xiahou Xuan was not too surprised by Cao Liang's move to kill chickens and monkeys, in Xiahou Xuan's opinion, Cao Liang was a little bit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and wanted to make a name for himself in the Yue Riding Camp.
But Xiahou Xuan also knows very well that the chaotic situation in the Yue Cavalry Camp cannot be changed overnight, and Cao Liang will not turn back if he does not touch a nail.
"Killing two soldiers who violated military orders is nothing, you just need to control the proportions yourself, Liwei is okay, but not too much, otherwise it will backfire."
Cao Liang said: "What Brother Tai Chu said, I think so too, but before he died, I heard that guy shout that he was the nephew of Taiwei Jiang Ji, and I don't know if it's true or fake." ”
When Xiahou Xuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, most of what he said at the moment of life and death was true, Cao Liang had just taken office, and he provoked the captain Jiang Ji, which was obviously not a good thing.
"It turned out to be the nephew of Taiwei Jiangji, this matter is also a little troublesome, but you don't care about this matter, I will help you deal with it, Jiang Ji and Sima Yi have a very close relationship, since they wear a pair of pants, then they can't help me." Xiahou Xuan and the Sima family are now on the same footing, Jiang Ji and Sima Yi are standing together, so don't blame him for Xiahou Xuan's ruthlessness.
Cao Liang saw that Xiahou Xuan took the initiative to take on Jiang Ji's nephew, but he also thought to himself, this back to the big tree is still good to enjoy the shade, with Xiahou Xuan in front, but he bears Jiang Ji's anger, he is naturally happy to be idle, and he can stay out of the matter.
Cao Liang smiled and said, "I'm here today, not just for such a small person. Now most of the war horses in the Yue Cavalry Battalion are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are no longer suitable for riding, and I also ask Brother Tai Chu to think of a way to change some war horses, at least let the people of the Yue Cavalry Battalion ride on the war horses. ”
Xiahou Xuan frowned and said, "How much is missing?" ”
Cao Liang said: "Now there are more than 300 war horses in the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and there is still a shortage of 400 horses, and more than half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and those who can ride are only about 100 horses, so the Yue Cavalry Battalion is short of at least 600 war horses, and I also ask Brother Tai Chu to help."
"What? More than 600 horses? Why don't you go and grab it? When Xiahou Xuan heard Cao Liang's lion open his mouth, he was immediately dissatisfied.
