ps: Chapter Anti-theft, will be corrected later...

Only then could Cao Shuang make such a decision.

In fact, Cao Liang himself knows that compared with people like He Yan, Ding Mi and Deng, he is not even considered to be Cao Shuang's confidant. Even people like Bi Gui and Li Sheng cannot be compared to Cao Liang. To be honest, Cao Liang is

The greater Bing Zhou's contribution, the easier it is to arouse Cao Shuang's suspicion. His great achievements will shock his master. This is not just for fun. All superiors will worry that someone will threaten his position, so at a critical moment,

Suppressing himself is in line with Cao Shuang's usual style of doing things.

Of course, for Cao Liang, whether he returns to Beijing or not can no longer shake his position in Bingzhou. Unless Cao Shuang replaces Wang Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, and transfers all the troops of the Pingbei Army. Even so, Cao Liang's influence in Bingzhou cannot be completely eliminated.

The influence of Bingzhou.

After all, Cao Liang's achievements have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Bingzhou. The soldiers and people in Bingzhou are grateful to Cao Liang and they only follow the horse's lead. Even if the court changes another group of people at this moment, it may not be easy.

This time, the imperial court only transferred the positions of Cao Liang and Huan Fan. The Pingbei Army was transformed into the Bingzhou Army and continued to be stationed in Bingzhou. Even the position of Wang Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, did not change. For Cao Liang,

Totally good news.

Perhaps Cao Shuang thought that by transferring Cao Liang away from Bingzhou, he could eliminate potential threats, but he was really wrong this time. Cao Liang's four years of campaigning against Bingzhou were not in vain. Today's Bingzhou has long been

The needle can't go in, the water can't pour in, it's completely monolithic. Not to mention that Cao Shuang didn't arrange for someone else to come in this time, even if he did arrange for someone else to come in, it would never be able to shake Cao Liang's foundation.

In fact, having said that, there is nothing bad for Cao Liang about returning to Beijing. Since he went out to conquer Shu, Cao Liang has never returned to Luoyang. Being away from the political center of Cao Wei for too long is not a good thing. Cao Liang

Liang never considered Cao Shuang, a man with nothing to lose, as his opponent. In the world, Cao Liang's only opponent was probably Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is a true careerist. The depth of his plans and the viciousness of his methods are far beyond the comparison of a good-for-nothing like Cao Shuang, who is a strong foreigner and a weak man. In the past few years, Cao Liang has laid his foundation in Bingzhou, but will Sima Yi rest?

Even if Cao Liang did not return to Beijing, it can be expected that the pace of the Sima family will not stop in the past few years, and will even develop at a terrifying speed. There are only a few years left before the Gaopingling Incident in history. Cao Liang

Liang even felt that this coup was likely to be staged in advance.

After returning to Luoyang, Cao Liang can monitor the Sima family's actions at any time and grasp first-hand information, instead of getting scraps of news every few months like now.

The lack of news also made Cao Liang very worried. After all, he still had his parents, wife and children in Luoyang. If Sima Yi launched a coup, their situation would become very dangerous. In any case, Cao Liang would not

It will put your loved ones in danger.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued and returning to Beijing has become inevitable, Cao Liang has no more worries. The only thing he needs to do now is to arrange the affairs of Bingzhou. Even if he leaves, the entire Bingzhou will continue.

The ground continues to function well.

Cao Liang believed that the time for him to return to Bingzhou would not be too far away.

Since the Xianbei people were defeated and left, I believe that the situation in Bingzhou will become much more peaceful in the next few years, and there will be no more large-scale wars. At this moment, Cao Liang has transferred the Pingbei Army to Jinyang. Before he leaves,

Cao Liang made the final deployment of the Pingbei Army. The Tunqi Battalion and the Infantry Battalion were stationed in Jinyang, the Changshui Battalion was stationed in Xihe, the Shesheng Battalion was stationed in Leping, and the Yueqi Battalion was stationed in Shangdang.

Since Cao Liang served as the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Bingzhou, his main scope of activities has been in Taiyuan, Xihe, Xinxing and Yanmen counties. He has never taken into account Leping and Shangdang counties to the east and southeast.

This time, Cao Liang sent Du Yu to garrison Leping and Deng Ai to garrison Shangdang. Cao Liang had very profound intentions.

Leping is the east gate of Bingzhou, adjacent to Jizhou, and its Weize Pass is the most important passage from Hebei to Shanxi. Du Yu's garrison in Leping was like guarding the east gate of Bingzhou to prevent troops from trying to enter Bingzhou from Jizhou.

Cao Liang made a profound move by placing the most elite Yueqi battalion in Shangdang. Shangdang is very close to Luoyang. If something happens in Luoyang, the Yueqi battalion, as a surprise force, can go south to Hanoi at any time and attack Luoyang. This

It can be regarded as a retreat route arranged by Cao Liang for himself.

In fact, these mobilizations are also normal defense mobilizations within Bingzhou. Cao Liang told Du Yu and Deng Ai to act in a low-key manner. The mobilization of troops and horses should not be carried out with great fanfare, but should be carried out in a scattered manner, one by one, so that no one would suspect that it was

There is no ulterior motive.

Most of the rural warriors were demobilized, and only a small number were incorporated into the county soldiers to help defend the city. However, after these rural warriors were repatriated to their hometowns, they all retained their nicknames, and they could basically come when they were called.

Able to fight.

This method of hiding troops among the people can avoid attracting the attention of others, and at the same time, it also leaves sufficient combat power. As long as Cao Liang needs it, he can organize a team with considerable combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Finally, there is the government affairs of Bingzhou. Cao Liang does not need to worry too much about this. After all, Wang Ji has done a good job in the past three years. I believe that after he leaves, he can also do a good job.

The stability of Bingzhou is related to the overall situation. Although Bingzhou has a small population and a weak foundation, as the only territory that Cao Liang can control now, Cao Liang still has high hopes for it. This will become his base for fighting with the Sima family.

It is the basis for Cao Liang's survival.

Wang Ji is a person that Cao Liang trusts more, otherwise Cao Liang would not have selected Wang Ji to be the governor of Bingzhou. Wang Ji also vowed that he would do his best to do a good job in Bingzhou.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Under the repeated urging of the imperial envoy, Cao Liang and Huan Fan packed up and prepared to set off.

In addition to Fang Bu, he was accompanied by dozens of personal guards. Cao Liang requested to keep a low profile, so there was no one in the accompanying team.

In order to prevent the common people from being overwhelmed by the news and seeing him off, Cao Liang chose to leave the city quietly at dawn. After all, with the imperial minister by his side, Cao Liang did not want to show too much affection between the military and the people.
