Ding Juncheng left with great joy. After he returned, he naturally went to collect food and grass.

Cao Liang fell into deep thought. Although he was very happy to agree to Ding Juncheng, when Cao Liang really thought about this issue, he found that there were many difficulties.

Although there are not many days left until Cao Liang's original scheduled date for dispatching troops, it is not an easy task even if it is one or two days in advance.

When the army goes out for an expedition, there are so many things to do, and they are all arranged step by step according to the previous date of the expedition. If Cao Liang suddenly changes the date of the expedition, the inconvenience caused will be

That’s all aspects.

But Pingyang was in danger, and Cao Liang couldn't sit idly by. Putting down the Huns' rebellion was originally Cao Liang's responsibility. Regardless of whether he was a Xiongnu from Bingzhou or a Xiongnu from Hedong, if Cao Liang ran into him, he would have to be destroyed first.

Say it again.

After Ding Juncheng left, Cao Liang first consulted with Huan Fan, Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan.

When Huan Fan heard this, he smiled coldly and said: "General Cao, have you finished your army training or perfected your battle formation? Are you in such a hurry to send out troops, are you rushing to kill people?"

In fact, Huan Fan was very dissatisfied with Cao Liang's original plan to send troops in one month. Not to mention the low combat effectiveness of the fourth battalion of the Northern Army, even with the large number of newly recruited soldiers, there would have to be a process of integration and familiarization. In one month,

It is indeed difficult to complete the series of tasks of recruiting, integrating and training soldiers.

Military training is a systematic project. Huan Fan does not think that a powerful army can be built in just one month. To achieve this goal, it will take at least half a year.

One month is still a short period of time, but now Cao Liang actually proposed to send troops in advance, which inevitably made Huan Fan sneer, thinking that Cao Liang was eager for quick success, and in the end he might have rushed to kill the Huns.

Fu Xuan also said: "Our army is still in the training stage. It seems that there is no profit in sending troops hastily." Fu Xuan is in charge of the army's account books, and he knows the current situation of the army best.

Pei Xiu also said: "If we rush to send troops, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to save Captain Lin, but we will be defeated by the Huns. This first battle is crucial. If we cannot win, it will definitely affect the morale of the troops who enter Bingzhou later."

Pei Xiu attaches great importance to the first battle and believes that the first battle is crucial. If it fails, it will severely damage the morale of the Pingbei Army. If it can win, it will make the whole army excited.

Greatly improves the morale of the army.

But now if Cao Liang sends troops in a hurry, with such a good army that has not yet been adjusted, Pei Xiu and others will not be optimistic about it, and they will all be pessimistic.

Of course Cao Liang was also aware of the difficulties he was facing now, but no matter how great the difficulties were, how could Pingyang, which was besieged by the Huns, be in an emergency? The reason why he proposed to send troops in advance was because he weighed the pros and cons.

"Pingyang is the only way to go to Bingzhou. The Huns are currently very fierce. The rebellion has spread to Hedong County. As for Bingzhou, the situation is probably even worse. As soldiers, how can we watch the fire from the other side and stay out of the incident?

Therefore, I have made up my mind to send out troops in advance, and hereby pass on the order. All battalions must complete all preparations for the expedition before tonight, and set off on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow!"

Although Cao Liang's plan to send troops in advance was unanimously opposed by the counselors, Cao Liang remained unmoved and insisted on his own opinion. He ordered all battalions to prepare and plan to go out tomorrow.

The order was quickly issued to each battalion, and the fifth lieutenant who was in charge of the drill had to suspend the ongoing drill and start preparations before the expedition.

Since Cao Liang's request was to complete all preparations for the expedition before evening, and the time for the expedition was set at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, so in terms of time, it was extremely hasty.

However, the military orders were like mountains and could not be disobeyed. Of course, the fifth captain was not a vegetarian. They acted resolutely, made reasonable arrangements, and completed all preparations before going out before dark.

Cao Liang was quite satisfied with the performance of the fifth captain. It was not easy to complete a series of preparations before going out in such a short period of time.

But famous generals are famous generals. Although they are still unknown now, their military talents have been undoubtedly revealed. Cao Liang believes that after this battle, they will be able to grow up quickly.

Of course, these generals are not the only ones who have grown up. Cao Liang believes that the entire Pingbei Army will transform from a new army into an elite army after the baptism of war.

Simple military training cannot produce elite soldiers, as the Yueqi battalion previously led by Cao Liang can prove this.

When Cao Liang just took over the Yueqi camp, the situation of the Yueqi camp was simply terrible. In order to reorganize the army, Cao Liang devoted almost all his attention to it, trying every means to reorganize the Yueqi camp, and almost carried out a

Years of training have given the Yueqi Camp a new look.

However, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Yueqi Battalion is not the result of training, but the baptism of blood and fire on the Hanzhong battlefield. Only today's Yueqi Battalion can truly be regarded as a force that can fight when called upon.

The Yueqi Battalion will also be Cao Liang's biggest reliance in this Northern Expedition. Without the Yueqi Battalion, even if Cao Liang is killed, he would not dare to lead the newly formed fourth battalion of the Northern Army to Bingzhou.

According to Huan Fan, Cao Liang is no different from going to kill someone. The army he has just formed has no combat effectiveness at all. Even if Cao Liang has put a lot of effort into the source of troops, the ones selected by Lin are all

There are elite soldiers and strong generals, but such an army can at best fight alone. Without training, it is impossible to form a joint force.

The reason why a regular army is essentially different from rovers is because of the battle formation. In the army, one plus one does not equal two. If the cooperation is good, one plus one can equal

Three can also equal ten, but if the coordination is not good, one plus one will even be lower than one.

Cao Liang's ultimate goal is to let this newly formed army, under the leadership of the Yueqi Battalion, go to the battlefield to hone its skills, so that it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The night passed quickly. The soldiers of each battalion woke up at the fourth watch, buried pots and cooked rice, and by the fifth watch, they were already ready to go.

Cao Liang stepped on the stage and nodded. All the generals were present. After a brief swearing-in ceremony for the expedition, Cao Liang held his sword in his hand and loudly issued the order for the expedition.
Chapter completed!
