The recruitment matter has come to an end, and the money and food sent by the Gaoling Marquis Mansion have been received. Now Cao Liang is waiting for the arrival of the Fourth Battalion of the Northern Army, but the movements of the Fourth Battalion of the Northern Army are obviously slower than Cao Liang expected.

Until now, there is no sign of him, which makes Cao Liang, who has always been calm, can't help but secretly curse.

Logically speaking, a major event like counterinsurgency is like putting out a fire. The troops mobilized for expedition should be carried out vigorously and resolutely, so as not to delay the military aircraft.

It's a pity that the fifth school of the Northern Army has already collapsed, with lax military equipment and disorganized morale. Even normal mobilization is so slow. If they really go to the battlefield and face the powerful and brave Huns, they may not even be able to fight.

He has no ability to fight.

At that time, Cao Liang did not expect that the current fourth battalion of the Northern Army could be directly pulled out to fight. When he took over the Yueqi Battalion, it was not like he had never seen the Yueqi Battalion in a mess like a plate of scattered sand. Now the Yueqi Battalion has gone through more than a year.

Through hard training, they have transformed into an elite army with strong combat effectiveness, but the other four battalions of the Northern Army are probably still the same as the original Yueqi Battalion.

Therefore, Cao Liang is now eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Fourth Battalion of the Northern Army. After arriving, he still needs to reorganize the Fourth Battalion of the Northern Army. After reorganization, he will send troops to Bingzhou.

However, the fourth battalion of the Northern Army was procrastinating and had not yet reached Anyi, making it impossible for Cao Liang's plan to be carried out.

Cao Liang was depressed and helpless. Before the fourth battalion of the Northern Army arrived at Anyi, this army was not yet under his control. The only thing Cao Liang could do now was to wait.

What surprised Cao Liang was that Huan Fan arrived first.

Mobilizing the fourth battalion of the Northern Army and appointing Huan Fan to serve as military advisor. The appointment of the Central Supervisory Army was issued by Cao Shuang at the same time when he was in Chang'an. Cao Liang did not expect that the eccentric Huan Fan would obediently comply with the order and immediately

Pack your bags and rush to Hedong.

After all, Huan Fan is famous for being a show-off. He dared to refuse the imperial conquest even if he was not satisfied with it. He even refused the position of a powerful feudal official like Jizhou Mu. Cao Liang really didn't know that he should be asked to give it to an ordinary person.

How does Huan Fan feel when General Bei serves as a staff advisor?

If this guy is in a bad mood and continues to refuse conquest, I'm afraid no one will be able to send him around.

While Cao Liang was still looking for some connections to persuade Huan Fan, Huan Fan had already appeared in front of the mansion where Cao Liang lived and delivered his business card.

Cao Liang quickly dropped what he was doing, straightened his clothes, and went out to meet Huan Fan.

There was only a slightly shabby green tarpaulin carriage parked at the door, and there were only a dozen or so servants accompanying it. Cao Liang saw a man standing with his back to the door of the mansion, E Guan Bo Dai, although he could not see

He has a clear face, but judging from his clothing, he must be Huan Fan.

Cao Liang immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply and said, "I don't know that Mr. Liang is here to welcome you, but Liang is not far away to greet you, so he still begs for forgiveness."

Huan Fan turned around, looked Cao Liang up and down, then clasped his fists slightly, and said, "You must be General Cao Liang and Cao Ziming, general of Pingbei?"

"It's down there."

Huan Fan nodded slightly and said: "I have heard the general's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. When I saw him today, I didn't expect that the general is so young and promising. He is really a hero of his generation, but he seems to be an old man."

Cao Liang's attitude was extremely respectful and he said: "Sir, you are wrong. I am a junior, and my talents are limited. I am lucky enough to be an official with my colleagues. I hope that I will take the trouble to teach you. It is a great honor for Liang."

Huan Fan said calmly: "General, you are too polite. I am here to assist the general. How can I turn my back on the guests? If it weren't for the Xiongnu rebellion in Bingzhou, I would not even bother to make sacrifices to the military advisor. I just hope that this time the rebellion can be suppressed, the general can not lose the opportunity."

That’s what I want.”

Huan Fan had already sat in the high-ranking position of the governor of Zhoumu. If it were not for the conflict with the governor of Xuzhou, he would still be the governor of Qingxu.

He was working as a staff subordinate for others, and Huan Fan certainly knew that.

It stands to reason that Huan Fan would not be interested in such a position at all. According to his temperament, he would probably refuse the offer on the spot.

But Huan Fan's temperament is famous for being eccentric. When he is in a bad mood, he may not be willing to obey orders even if he is given the position of the Third Duke. When he is in a good mood, he does as he pleases.

When the imperial court appointed Huan Fan as the shepherd of Jizhou, it stands to reason that others would have coveted such a high position. However, Huan Fan felt ashamed because Lu Zheng, who was the general of Zhenbei at that time, was not as senior as him and was not as talented as him.

Later, he refused to take the order, saying that he was ill and had no time to pay. This rest lasted for five or six years.

Maybe Huan Fan had been thinking about it for a long time, or maybe it was because there was no one in Bingzhou who had any conflict of interest with him. Faced with Cao Shuang's conquest, Huan Fan actually agreed.

This shocked the people around Huan Fan. He left the border official Fangzhou Mu improperly and actually wanted to serve as a military adviser to General Pingbei. Could it be that Huan Fan had taken a break for five or six years and his brain was damaged?

Of course Huan Fan had his own considerations. Pingbei General Cao Liang was a rare genius general who had emerged in the Wei army recently. In the Battle of Huainan, he had already shown his prowess and killed the Wu general.

Zhuge Jin is famous all over the world.

This time he conquered Shu, and his performance was extremely amazing. Although the Wei army returned with a huge defeat, Cao Liang's performance was even more dazzling. He made a raging fire, attacked Yangping sneakily, trampled Hanzhong with his horse, and outsmarted the gold.

, it can even be said that if it were not for Cao Liang's outstanding performance, Cao Shuang's army would probably have been completely destroyed and perished at the foot of Xingshi Mountain.

It is precisely because of this that Huan Fan aroused great interest in Cao Liang. All the famous military generals in the Wei Kingdom were very old, but Cao Liang was only in his twenties and had already achieved such amazing achievements.

, that can only mean that Cao Liang’s future will be boundless in the future.

After being idle at home for a long time, Huan Fan's body was about to grow hairy. Since the imperial court wanted to appoint him this time, and Huan Fan also wanted to see Cao Liang's true appearance, Huan Fan thought about it a little and accepted this new job.

Position.

After accepting the order, Huan Fan did not delay for a moment. He packed up his luggage, took only a carriage and more than ten servants from the mansion, left Luoyang and went straight to Hedong County.

Unlike others who went to their posts with full official power and went slowly and leisurely, Huan Fan was different. He rushed around day and night and arrived in Anyi, Hedong in only three days.
