The uproar caused by the war horse incident seemed to have been suppressed by Xu Rong with his own prestige, and he also sang a double reed to make both sides have nothing to say.

And in line with the purpose of small punishment and big commandment, Xu Rong cut the military position of Wang Fang's general, and whipped Ma Lin on Yan Xing's side, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and also gave Wang Fang and Yan Xing a big shock.

However, if you delve into the essence, Xu Rong, who kept saying that he wanted to rule the army, was still partial after all, and his punishment of the generals of Wang Fang's subordinates who were stolen by others could only be regarded as a slight punishment, but the crime against Ma Lin An of Yan Xing's department was not worthy of the name.

Xu Rong acted like this, naturally with his considerations and plans.

First of all, the advantages of the two sides are not equal, if Xu Rong deals with it impartially, then it is the Wang Fang's department that is unlucky, and if Yan Xing is unforgiving, this dispute in the army will inevitably not be truly resolved.

Secondly, it is also the reason why Wang Fang and Yan Xing are close to each other, Xu Rong uses Wang Fang to use him as a lackey, and Yan Xing uses him as a tiger.

Therefore, such ends and means, starting from Xu Rong's own considerations, are not wrong.

But this matter was finally made clear in the semi-public in the army, and after Xu Rong disposed of it like this, there were still some rumors in the army about Xu Zhonglang's obviously unfair disposal.

Xu Rong was in charge of the army and was known for his prestige, and after this kind of rumor appeared, he quickly learned about it from various channels, so he immediately took action and sent the army to inspect the rumors in the army.

As a result, the gossip suddenly fell silent in the army, and the turmoil of the whole thing seemed to come to an abrupt end.

It was only at the end of the aftermath that a few letters quietly flowed out of the army, and without anyone noticing, the horse went straight to Luoyang.

After a few more days, the hall of the temple in Xingyang City County

Xu Rong, who was well ill, finally gathered the generals and prepared to discuss the next military action with the generals of the army in the county temple.

After the victory of Bianshui, the morale of the army was high, and many generals wanted to continue the march, to quell the rebels of the sour jujube in one fell swoop, and then to earn a huge military merit for their own family, so as to put down the rebellion in the Kanto Prefecture as soon as possible, and return to the dynasty, and then return to their hometown of Kansai, where Kyoto is now.

But Xu Rong did not plan to continue to attack the sour jujube.

is reluctant to attack, not because Xu Rong is a native of Liaodong and has no local complex in his heart, so he is not in a hurry to return to the land of Guanxi, which has already set the capital.

It's because, in Xu Rong's heart, there is a greater threat than the Yanzhou Jujube rebels.

That is, not long ago, the rebels in Yuzhou, who had just fallen into a trough.

As far as Xu Rong knew, the remnants of the rebel army in Yuzhou, after Sun Jian's soldiers and horses entered strongly, had a great tendency to resurrect, and had faintly formed a danger to the surrounding areas of Yuyang again, and this threat was even greater.

Yuzhou is close to Henan, send troops from Yuzhou, than from Yanzhou, the attack road of soldiers and horses is shorter, and the speed of attack will be faster.

Moreover, compared to Kong Ling, Sun Jian's ability to lead troops to fight is not known how many times stronger, and with him in Yuzhou, Xu Rong's rear is unstable.

Therefore, Xu Rong, who was standing high in the lobby, because of his foot disease, sat on the cushion on the seat, shook his head after listening to the invitations of many generals, and began to talk about the far-sighted concerns in his heart.

"This general does not want to take advantage of the victory to march into the army, put down the rebellion for the country, let the second and third sons cut off a few more rebel heads, earn more military exploits, and also seal his wife and son, and return his clothes."

"It's just that this Changsha Taishou Sun Wentai has also joined the rebel army, and has gone all the way north, killing Jingzhou Assassin Shi and Nanyang Taishou in a row, with a huge army, personally leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, stationed in Yingchuan Yangzhai, and was also rebelled by Yuan Shu, falsely appearing as Yuzhou Assassin History."

After expressing the concerns in his heart, Xu Rong saw that there were still many lieutenant generals in the hall who were stunned, obviously in the eyes of the arrogant Xiliang soldiers, they didn't think that with Sun Jian, a traitor, how many waves would the rebels be able to make, and their current duty to attack and defend was the rebels in Yanzhou, how much did the resurgence of the rebels in Yuzhou have to do with them?

Xu Rong's face was still awe-inspiring, and he explained again:

"Sun Jian, when he was fighting against the rebels in Liangzhou in the past, he was under the command of Xiangguo, and he happened to see Sun Jian, who was fierce and brave, and the marching soldiers were like a swift wind, menacing, and we must not guard against it."

Speaking of this, Xu Rong turned his head to look at the topographical map of Henan hanging beside him, and stretched out his finger and said:

"Sun Jian is good at using troops, if he sends troops to Yangcheng, he can attack Yuyuan Pass, if he uses soldiers in Liang County, he can detain Taigu, Guangcheng, and Yique passes, so he only needs to feint soldiers and horses, so that the defenders of each pass can be tired to deal with, and then he will pick a flaw and break through the pass in one fell swoop, so that Luoyang is in danger!"

Listening to Xu Rong say this, some of the generals in the hall changed color, but some disagreed, although what Xu Rong said made sense, but Luoyang is now also a large army, how can Sun Jian run rampant, presumably the Xiangguo of Luoyang has already dealt with it, these generals, they only need to concentrate on dealing with the rebels in Yanzhou, where do you need to take care of Sun Jian in Yuzhou.

Xu Rong knew that many of his generals had both the intention of attacking while taking advantage of the victory, and the desire to return the glory of success, and the reason he just said was not enough for them to extinguish the utilitarian benefits of the attack, so he solemnly pointed to the map again and said:

"Second and third sons, maybe think that the matter of Yuzhou, there is no need for us to worry, we only need to focus on attacking the Yanzhou rebels, and we can make contributions, but for the way of the general, how can we not know the situation, do not know the military aircraft, you just imagine, if we take advantage of the victory at this time to attack the sour date, and Sun Jian took the opportunity to attack from Yuzhou into our rear, under the attack from both sides, how can our army have a chance of winning, the back road is cut off, I am afraid that you and other departments will also have no return."

Yuzhou is the place of four wars, destined to be the first to bear the brunt of the war, but such geographical advantages, once in the hands of strong generals and good generals, have become a strategic treasure to attack from all sides and conquer the city.

After Xu Rong said that Sun Jian of Yuzhou could easily attack Henan and cut off their back route, the generals who had originally advocated the march finally had some relatives in their hearts, and began to think about the seriousness of the consequences in Xu Rong's words, and did not try to fight anymore.

Xu Rong saw that all the generals in the hall were either respectful or enlightened, and then nodded with satisfaction and began to say:

"Therefore, our current priority is to guard the two places of Chenggao and Xingyang, to ensure that the Yuzhou rebels are not given a chance, and at the same time, this general will also ask Xiangguo to join the soldiers and horses of Luoyang, exterminate Sun Jian and the Yuzhou rebels under his department, and after eliminating the worries first, we will slowly enter the land of Yanzhou."

After Xu Rong finished his military opinions, some of the generals in the hall nodded yes, and some were silent, although Xu Rong's strategy for marching was not completely in line with the wishes of the generals who were eager to make contributions and return to their hometowns after the great victory, but under Xu Rong's prestige, this opinion was reasonable, and for a while, no one dared to say anything about the march.

Xu Rong saw that many generals were already convinced, and others did not speak out against it, so he planned to start assigning the tasks to the generals to defend Chenggao, Xingyang and other places according to the strategy he had already prepared in his chest.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

"General, my subordinates think that it is inappropriate to return to the division to defend at this time, and we should take the initiative to attack the defeated enemy in Yanzhou!"

Xu Rong, who heard this voice, frowned slightly, and the other generals also followed the voice and hurriedly looked at the person who dared to challenge the authority of Xu Rong's resolution at this time.

The focus of everyone's eyes was none other than Yan Xing, the fake commander who was in the forefront of the seats.

Seeing that it was Yan Xing, the faces of some generals suddenly became wonderful, they remembered that when they were in Yuyuan Pass before, in the face of Xu Rong's decision to attack the enemy outside the city first, Yan Xing was at the end of the military discussion, and suddenly proposed that he could divide his troops to attack the enemy of Yangcheng at the same time, and took the initiative to invite Ying, and led the army to take Yangcheng.

And after thinking about it at the time, Xu Rong quickly agreed to Yan Xing's proposal.

So this time, will Xu Rong accept Yan Xing's suggestion?
