It was only after Cao Liang arrived in Shangdang that he sent Fang Bu to Chang'an to contact Xiahou Xuan. Cao Liang's purpose was obviously to take advantage of the identity and background of the general of Xiahou Xuan's western campaign, the governor of Yongliang. If he could control Guanzhong, it would be great. In this way, he could support Bingzhou and jointly deal with and restrain Sima Yi.
If Xiahou Xuan did not have the ability to control Guanzhong, Cao Liang also hoped that he could come to Bingzhou, at least not have to return to Luoyang, and become the ghost under the sword of the Sima family.
But obviously Fang Bu was still a step late. He rushed from Shangdang to Chang'an. As soon as he entered the city, he saw the large-scale travel of the Yongzhou army. Xiahou Xuan had already left the Governor's Office and embarked on the itinerary to return to Luoyang. It was harder to catch Xiahou Xuan out of the army than climbing to the sky.
It’s not that Cao Liang didn’t want to contact Xiahou Xuan earlier, but that when he was in Hanoi, he had a lot of business and was exhausted and he really couldn’t take it into consideration. When he returned to Shangdang, he really sent his most capable guard Fang Bu to Chang'an to contact Xiahou Xuan at the first time.
It’s a pity that man’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations. Fang Bu finally passed by Xiahou Xuan and couldn’t get in touch.
Fang Bu did not stay in Chang'an for a long time. After exploring the situation, he quickly left Chang'an City and returned to Shangdang.
In order to deal with the possible attack of Sima's army, after returning to Bingzhou, Cao Liang did not rush to return to Jinyang, but temporarily stayed in Shangdang and strategically gave up Hanoi was forced to do so. After all, Cao Liang had no foundation in Hanoi, and the terrain of Hanoi was indeed not conducive to combat.
Shangdang is different. Shangdang is a basin surrounded by mountains and the terrain is very dangerous. In addition, Cao Liang has been operating Bingzhou for many years and has a deep foundation in Shangdang, so after giving up Hanoi, the first thing that needs to be ensured is Shangdang.
After entering Shangdang, Cao Liang immediately began to deploy Shangdang's defense system. He adopted a defensive strategy to stick to the pass and strengthen deep defense strategies, and established a strict defensive position in Shangdang County. Even if Sima Yi mobilized 100,000 troops to come, he would ensure that he could withstand it.
On the periphery, Yang Hu's infantry battalion built the first line of defense on the Taihang Mountains and Wangwu Mountains based on the dangerous passes and terrain. If the Sima army comes to attack, this first line of defense will be the hardest hard bone they chew.
In the Shangdang Basin, Cao Liang deployed two elite cavalry battalions, Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp, to strengthen deep defense methods. Even if the Sima army broke through the first line of defense, Cao Liang had sufficient confidence to defend the Shangdang Basin.
As for the Knight Camp, Cao Liang has not arranged their mission for the time being. After all, this breakout battle, the Knight Camp fought hard, with nearly half of the losses, and urgently needed rest and supplementation.
Fortunately, Cao Liang got a lot of weapons and armor from Wangwu Mountain, and Bingzhou itself is a place for horse breeding, and the most lacking is war horses. As long as some knights are recruited, the restructuring of the cavalry camp will be completed soon.
The Knight Camp is a rich legacy left by Cao Yan to Cao Liangyang. Over the years, this former tiger and leopard hero army has not lost its combat power due to lack of combat formation. On the contrary, under Cao Yan's almost rigorous training, the Knight Camp has always been waiting for the battle, maintaining high fighting spirit and combat capabilities.
If Cao Yan had not blocked the Sima family's pursuit soldiers from behind, Cao Liang would have no chance to cross the Yellow River. Cao Yan blocked the Sima family's tens of thousands of troops with two thousand troops, and fought for several hours in a row, winning the time to cross the river for the retreating army.
For his father's last wish, Cao Liang must not let the Xiaoqi Camp collapse. He must strive to build the Xiaoqi Camp into one of the three main cavalrymen in Bingzhou and become the pillar of the Bingzhou Army.
It was not possible to achieve the scale of the Xiaoqi Camp as the Yueqi Camp in a short time, so while other battalions were actively preparing for war, the Xiaoqi Camp was responsible for rest and rest without any combat missions.
As for the family, Cao Liang temporarily placed them in Shangdang Huguan, and moved to Jinyang when he had the chance. During this period, Liu Ying finally recovered from the sorrow, but his emotions were still very depressed. As long as Cao Liang had time, he would stay by his mother's side and give her as much comfort as possible.
Yang Huiyu always stays by Liu Ying's side, and Sima Ru will come to accompany her more. With Sima Ru, the ghostly spirit, the atmosphere at home will be more lively and less dull.
Cao Liang was actually quite worried that Liu Ying would not accept Sima Ru. After all, she was the daughter of her enemy. Her father Cao Yan died at the hands of the Sima family, so she was afraid that Liu Ying would not be able to let go.
However, Cao Liang found that this worry was unnecessary. Liu Ying did not alienate Sima Ru because of this relationship. Sima Ru's obedience and cleverness pleased Liu Ying, so naturally Liu Ying agreed and accepted Sima Ru.
On that day, Cao Liang rushed home after finishing his official duties and found that the atmosphere at home was obviously different, and he was surprised.
This temporary home is located in a small courtyard in Huguan. After all, although Huguan is a county town, it is incomparable to the prosperity of Luoyang. Cao Liang is unwilling to disturb the people, so he temporarily found a yard to settle down.
Although the snail house is small, the floor is clean today, with red and colorful clothes, and it seems to have a kind of atmosphere of holding wedding events. It is very simple but not without warmth.
Cao Liang asked Yang Huiyu in surprise what was going on. Yang Huiyu asked with a smile: "What day is today? Have you ever remembered it?"
Cao Liang thought about it very hard, but it was still a fog. It was neither a birthday nor a festival. Cao Liang really couldn't imagine anything special.
"Today is the sixth day of the second lunar month." Yang Huiyu specifically reminded him.
"What's wrong with the sixth day of the second month?" Cao Liang was still a little puzzled. He couldn't think of what the sixth day of the second month was. If it was considered to have any memorial significance, last month's day was the day when they broke out of Luoyang, and it was one day short of the day when their father died.
Yang Huiyu smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that you are so busy that you are so dizzy. You don't remember what day it is. Today is the wedding day of your sister Ru'er. My mother said that you will let you complete your family today. As for other etiquettes, keep it simple."
Reconciling the house? Cao Liang was stunned. He really forgot about this. Unexpectedly, Liu Ying and Yang Huiyu were still thinking about it. While Cao Liang was away, they had already arranged the matter. No wonder they looked different as soon as they entered the door.
