After leaving the Xiaoqi Camp, Cao Liang did not return to the Yueqi Camp immediately, but went straight to the Changling Marquis Mansion to see Xia Houxuan.

Xia Houxuan served as the Central Guard and was also very busy with his duties. Cao Liang was not sure that Xia Houxuan would be home, but seeing as it was getting late, he would not have to wait for a long time even if he did not come back.

When he arrived at the Changling Marquis Mansion, he asked his disciples and found out that Xia Houxuan had just returned. Cao Liang was overjoyed. It seemed that he had come early rather than by chance. He immediately went into the manor to see Xia Houxuan.

"Brother Taichu, what job did you get for me? Such a mess is too deceiving, right?" Cao Liang complained repeatedly as soon as he entered the door.

Xia Houxuan said with some surprise: "Have you been to Yueqi Camp today?"

Cao Liang said angrily: "I went there after receiving the order yesterday. You didn't see the condition of the Yueqi camp. The military discipline is loose and scattered. How can such an army go to the battlefield and fight?"

Xia Houxuan chuckled and said: "I forgot to remind you. In fact, as the Yueqi captain, you don't have to perform your duties at all. You just need to stay at home. If you have the opportunity to take up a foreign post in the future, you can become a prefect or a governor.

Protect the Army. As for the Yueqi Camp, including the five schools of the Northern Army, the imperial court is about to abandon it, so you don’t need to pay any attention to it."

Cao Liang asked curiously: "Since the imperial court intends to abandon the five schools of the Northern Army, why not simply abolish the establishment of the five schools and spend money on food and salary to support so many idle people? Is it worth it?"

Xia Houxuan gave a bitter smile and said: "Actually, after the establishment of the fifth battalion of the Chinese Army, the five schools of the North School have existed in name only. However, when it comes to dismantling the establishment, it is difficult to do it. Just these five more schools suddenly appeared.

The position of two thousand stones cannot be placed. There are also five schools of troops and many officials. Where will they be sent? Other places are like carrots and pits. Suddenly there are so many more officials, and even more

The ministers also had to go crazy. Therefore, although some ministers repeatedly wrote letters requesting the dismantling of the five schools of the Northern Army, the imperial court just put off doing it, and it has continued to this day."

Cao Liang finally understood that bureaucracy does not distinguish between ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries. It will exist wherever there is politics.

Nowadays, the fifth school of the Northern Army has become more of a springboard for official promotion. After becoming a captain of the Northern Army, you don't have to take care of things at all. It is completely a sinecure. Most officials will get the opportunity to be promoted. Obviously, Cao Shuang arranged for Cao Shuang to

Liang's appointment as Yueqi captain also has this meaning. If he stays in this position for a period of time, he will definitely be used in another important role.

Compared with two thousand stones, it is the fifth rank. This kind of official position is neither high nor low. If you take one step forward, you can join the ranks of two thousand stones. If you take one step back, you will be lost among everyone.

Xia Houxuan's intention was very clear, which was to let Cao Liang take such a sinecure position, so that he would not have to take care of the Yueqi Camp affairs at all. It would be more appropriate to wait for a suitable opportunity and then find him a position as a governor.

.

But Cao Liang has a different idea. It is true that the Yueqi Camp is in terrible shape now, but if it is reorganized, Cao Liang does not believe that the Yueqi Camp will be the same as before. One soldier is raging, and the generals are raging. The reason why Yueqi Camp is in chaos

It's unbearable because there is no good leader. As long as I am willing to work hard, I believe that there will be big changes in the Yueqi camp.

Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are. If the five hundred cavalrymen of Yueqi Camp can really train them, Cao Liang will finally have more confidence when fighting against the Sima family in the future.

Cao Liang said to Xia Houxuan: "If I am not in my position, I will not seek political power. Now that I am leading the Yueqi camp, there is absolutely no reason to leave it alone. Therefore, it is imperative to rectify the Yueqi camp. I hope Brother Taichu can do it."

Full support.”

Xia Houxuan was a little surprised. In his opinion, the Yueqi camp had been in decline for a long time, and the morale of the army was disorganized. If they really wanted to rectify it, it would be a thankless effort. However, Cao Liang had such an idea, which was good after all. He smiled

He smiled and said: "Okay, you are the captain of the Yueqi camp now, so you naturally have full authority to handle the affairs of the Yueqi camp. Anyway, it is just one-third of an acre. You can do whatever you want. If you can really train an elite soldier for the general,

The general must be very happy when the powerful brigade comes."

Cao Liang said: "Brother Taichu, I feel relieved with your words. When I first arrived at the military camp yesterday, the officers and soldiers couldn't come when they heard the drums and couldn't light their bows. I was so angry that I beheaded the two leaders. This is considered

Stabilized the situation.”

Xia Houxuan was not too surprised by Cao Liang's act of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. In Xia Houxuan's view, Cao Liang had the energy of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and wanted to make a name for himself in the Yueqi camp.

But Xia Houxuan also knew very well that the chaotic situation in the Yueqi camp could not be changed overnight. Cao Liang would not look back until he hit a snag.

"Killing two soldiers who violate military orders is nothing. You just have to use your own discretion. It's OK to establish authority, but you can't go too far, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

Cao Liang said: "Brother Taichu is right, I think so too, but before he died, I heard that guy shouting that he was Taiwei Jiang Ji's nephew. I don't know if it was true or not."

When Xia Houxuan heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. What he said at the critical moment was probably true. Cao Liang had just taken office and got into trouble with Lieutenant Jiang Ji. This was obviously not a good thing.

"It turns out to be Taiwei Jiang Ji's nephew. This matter is a bit troublesome. However, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will help you handle it. Jiang Ji and Sima Yi have a very close relationship. Since they wear the same pair of trousers, then

Then you can't help me." Xia Houxuan and the Sima family are now on the same page, and Jiang Ji and Sima Yi are standing together, so don't blame Xia Houxuan for being ruthless.

When Cao Liang saw that Xia Houxuan took the initiative to take care of Jiang Ji's nephew, he thought that it was good. It was better to enjoy the shade with the big tree at his back. With Xia Houxuan in front, he was bearing Jiang Ji's wrath. Naturally, he felt at ease.

, you can stay out of it.

Cao Liang smiled and said: "I came today not just for such a small person. Most of the war horses in the Yueqi camp are old, weak, sick and disabled, and are no longer suitable for riding. Brother Taichu, please think of it.

Find a way to exchange some war horses, at least let all the people from the Yueqi Camp ride on the war horses."

Xia Houxuan frowned and said, "How much is missing?"

Cao Liang said: "Now there are more than 300 war horses in Yueqi Camp, but 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 them are only about a hundred or so, so Yueqi Camp is short of at least 400 war horses.

Six hundred horses, please ask Brother Taichu if he can help.
