fourth place, Cheng Lian;

Cheng Lian is not as good as Wei Yan and Fu Tong in terms of combat exploits, and in terms of treating soldiers, he is even less than the three generals, the reason why he can rank in front of Fu Tong is that he is superior in martial arts, this item, he has always ranked first in the Jin Jue army, and the second is Fu Tong's own reason, because he is good at defense, even if he has made good military achievements, the casualties of the soldiers under his command will be very large.

fifth place, Fu Tong;

Defensive warfare is different from offensive warfare, since it is out of a defensive state, it shows that Fu Tong's subordinate is lower than the enemy engaged with it, at least in terms of the total number of soldiers. Even if Fu Tong will always use the city or camp to gain an advantage, if the enemy launches a fierce attack, the defending side will also suffer great casualties.

Because in the first battle of Langzhong County, Fu Tong's troops lost thousands of people at once, which made his ranking lag behind Cheng Lian.

Sixth place, Yang Ren.

Seventh place, Yang Ang.

These two people have not participated in any big battles, and they are suspected of being ranked in the rankings.

And two of Jin Jue's troops who have made great contributions but have not been included in the ranking-Fu Gan and Li Hui, because they are both civilian officials, so Jin Jue will take the initiative to remove the names of the two of them.

In this regard, Fu Gan and Li Hui felt that Jin Jue's approach was in line with their intentions.

At first, after Jin Hou returned to Xuzhou, he only made this kind of ranking among his own subordinates, but what Jin Hou didn't expect was that his way of motivating his middle and low-level generals to treat ordinary soldiers well was spread by his subordinates.

At the same time, except for the Sun brothers' large group of thousands of thieves who were all burned to death by Jin Hou's fire, when Jin Hou's department treated the ordinary people of Taishan County, it was the best military discipline among Liu Bei's three troops.

Among the three generals, Chen Dao, because his subordinates are also Xuzhou soldiers, therefore, some of his subordinate soldiers have family members who were innocently slaughtered by Cao Jun, and when such Xuzhou soldiers enter Taishan County, it is inevitable that there will be casual killings, and Zhao Yun's subordinates are all the troops he has trained and managed for a long time in Runan County, and he can also not control all the soldiers under his command 100%.

On the contrary, although Jin Hou's subordinates had been summoned and trained by him for less than a year, after this period of time together, his soldiers loved Jin Hou to be able to lead them to revenge and continuous victory, and at the same time, they were also very afraid of violating the military discipline established by Jin Jue. From the dispatch of troops to the present, although only one has been executed by Jin Hou for violating military discipline, this one is enough to deter other soldiers under Jin Hou's command.

This extremely strange situation made the ordinary people of the entire Taishan County have the same feelings of love and awe for Jin Hou as the soldiers under Jin Hou's command, which seemed contradictory on the surface.

However, Jin Hou was not as bold as outsiders seemed on the surface, for example, Jin Jue killed the local people in Yizhou who refused to submit to him but dared to resist, as well as the local evil families, landlords or merchants, Jin Hou did not dare to do this in Taishan County.

First, it broke through Liu Bei's bottom line.

Jin Hou's current identity has always been a general under Liu Bei, and all his actions cannot break through Liu Bei's bottom line. No matter how the families in various places view Liu Bei and whether they are willing to serve him or not, it is impossible for Liu Bei, who is set up by benevolence and virtue, to massacre local families like Jin Jue.

Second, it will affect the follow-up plan.

According to the pre-war plan of this local war, Taishan County was to be handed over to Zhao Yun with full jurisdiction, and next, Chen Zhi would assist Jin Hou to attack Lu State, a county of Yuzhou that was close to Taishan County.

Under the influence of Confucius, Lu has always been a state of etiquette, if Jin Jue kills in Taishan County, he will lead troops into Lu State, not to mention that Cao Jun will try his best to prevent him from occupying Lu State, and even the local family will work together to stop him.

This is naturally something that Jin Hou does not want to see.

However, soon, Jin Hou and Chen Zhi's plan to lead troops into the Lu State had to change the entire plan because of a letter that Jin Jue urgently delivered to Liu Bei.

It turned out that at the beginning, after receiving the edict and seal letter from the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Chen Qi and his two cousins suddenly put Chen Deng under house arrest and betrayed Liu Bei in secret.

The target person for the secret agent installed by Jin Jue in Xuzhou to deliver the news to the first time was not Jin Hou, but Jin Jue, who was far away in Yizhou.

After receiving this information, Jin Jue immediately summoned Fa Zheng over, and the two of them entered Jin Jue's study together and had a secret discussion behind closed doors.

After that, Fa Zheng also quickly left Yizhou, through the southern part of Hanzhong County, and rushed to Xuzhou.

After discussing with Fa Zheng, Jin Jue analyzed that Emperor Han Xian's trick actually had a very big damage to Liu Bei's reputation and popularity, unlike other princes in the Han Dynasty, the two princes surnamed Liu - Liu Bei and Liu Biao, as long as Emperor Han Xian is alive and still maintains his throne, the two of them are destined to not be emperors.

Although Liu Biao's strength is very strong, he is a person with no ambitions, typically occupying the pit and not, if Liu Bei occupies his position, he may not be able to seize the world.

And Liu Bei has always put benevolence and virtue first, so it is naturally impossible to do anything to usurp the throne.

As Han Song said when he reprimanded Liu Bei, since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had personally issued an edict appointing Chen Qi as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, then he was bound to take the initiative to give up the entire Xuzhou to Chen Qi. If not, Liu Bei is openly opposing the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and damaging the prestige of the Han court, and in the future, Liu Bei will not regard himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Considering these, Jin Jue made a decision to temporarily send Fa Zheng to Xuzhou to assist Liu Bei, and at the same time gave Liu Bei a decision that was very difficult to make.

This decision is that Liu Bei will follow the will of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and give all the remaining lands of Xuzhou counties to Chen Qi. This practice not only completes Liu Bei's reputation and popularity, but also completes the righteousness of the monarch and ministers between Liu Bei and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, it also completes the righteousness of the monarch and ministers between Liu Bei and Chen Deng.

And more importantly, doing so can not only increase Cao Cao's prestige, but also allow him to quickly recover his strength and accumulate strength for dealing with Yuan Shao's army in the future.

At this time, Jin Jue had already realized that before, he blindly weakened Cao Jun's strength, which was actually a bit too risky. The weaker Cao Cao's strength was, the stronger Yuan Shao's strength became.

Once Cao's army was defeated by Yuan Shao's army, the other princes in the world might not have the confidence to resist.
