God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Sometimes, as long as someone is there, it doesn't matter whether they participate in command or provide solutions.

Just like Rahul, Rahul's appearance on the front lines of the battlefield will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions.

This included drawing the attention of the Han army and increasing vigilance against Rahul; boosting the morale and combat effectiveness of the Brahman army; and stabilizing the fighting resolve and will of the Brahman officers.

Even without taking action, Rahul's influence is still enormous.

This aspect stems from past battle records and the results of wars.

This power and deterrent effect, along with the importance shown by both sides, is itself the greatest respect for a renowned general.

Similarly, the arrival of Xu Rong of the Han army at this time could also play a similar role to some extent.

Although it will not attract the attention or hostility of the Kushans, nor will it dampen the fighting spirit of your soldiers, it will still have a certain positive effect on the Han army.

From a purely command perspective, with Xu Rong by his side, even if Guan Yu made a major mistake in command, leading to an irreversible outcome, there would be someone to cover for him and rebuild the command system.

Or, to put it another way, one's own command capabilities are unlikely to be too bad, which is quite effective in maintaining one's own strength.

However, for most generals, a simple comparison of Xu Rong's command would lead many to favor Guan Yu's command.

Because Xu Rong and Guan Yu's command styles were completely different.

Guan Yu was steady and progressive, and he took himself as an example. He could always shift from military strategy to the actual situation, and personally exploit weaknesses on the battlefield.

Xu Rong, on the other hand, is a commander of a large evil army. He may be able to lead his troops to victory, but no one dares to weigh the price that will be paid.

If a commander can sacrifice himself, then surely those he commands are also within the scope of sacrifice?
Just thinking about it makes it clear that such a thing is highly unlikely.

Therefore, whether for their own benefit or for the benefit of their soldiers, all the legion commanders of the Han army who received the news of Xu Rong's arrival, after thinking it over, became even more convinced of and obedient to Guan Yu.

In any case, Guan Yu demonstrated remarkable command abilities, and with their combined efforts, defeating the Kushan army was not impossible.

Under Guan Yu's command, unless in a truly desperate situation or due to their own foolishness, the possibility of being killed would be much smaller.

As for Xu Rong, in a sense, he was indeed a famous general and enjoyed a great reputation, although his reputation was not so friendly.

"Sure enough, the situation changed completely as soon as General Xu arrived at the front line." Fa Zheng said with a hint of amusement as he looked at Guo Jia, who was all smiles and very composed, after the meeting ended.

"General Xu came from Chang'an. Whether it was his own choice or someone else's consent, his coming here demonstrates Chang'an's attitude and will." Guo Jia looked at the central command tent with great interest, as if he could see Guan Yu through it.

Xu Rong's arrival at the front lines had an impact on everyone, but the greatest impact was on Guan Yu.

If everything is going smoothly at the front, why send a commander-in-chief to the front? What kind of intention does he have? Is it to urge the soldiers on the front to fight, or to reassure Guan Yu so that he can go all out?
The former would put more pressure on Guan Yu and give him more ideas, while the latter would better showcase Guan Yu's strength.

This aspect of his thinking and actions reflects Guan Yu's own courage and boldness.

“Even if we know the truth, we can’t tell others. Whether we tell them or not, others will always overthink things. In fact, if we tell them, they might overthink even more…” Fa Zheng, who deeply understands the complexities of human nature, sighed with deep emotion.

In conventional matters concerning things, their words and decisions can influence others with remarkable speed and efficiency.

But in situations that affect each general, how could one not hesitate before rashly adopting the advice of others, even wise men?
Each person's perspective and position determine their way of thinking.

When interests and ideas are not purely integrated, does the advice offered by a wise person not also take into account the wise person's own interests?

"Being in the mountains, I am also a part of them. I can't say what I really mean." Guo Jia gently patted Fa Zheng, then shook his head.

So many years have passed, and Fazheng, who was once so young, has made remarkable progress.

“I suspect you know more, but I doubt you’ll tell me…” Seeing Guo Jia’s expression, Fa Zheng became even more curious and then asked a question.

Guo Jia did not reply to the question. Instead, he turned and left, casually saying, "I have a lot of things to do, so I'll go take care of them first. You should also take care of your own business."

"As expected, there are many things that have been kept from me, Chang'an..." Upon seeing this scene, Fa Zheng became even more certain of his thoughts, and at the same time realized that it would be difficult for him to answer the questions of the other generals.

Because he is also within this scope, the suggestions or opinions he can offer cannot guide other schools in the direction that Chang'an hopes for.

Because of the issues involved, Fazheng could only observe quietly.

Understanding the true situation of the officers and confirming the facts is likely for future considerations.

Only by not being bound by the present moment can we plan for those who come after us.

Xu Rong, who remained inside the main tent, listened to Guan Yu's description of the current situation. A hint of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes as he began to construct the battle scenario described by Guan Yu in his mind.

After listening and listening for a while, Xu Rong looked at Guan Yu with extreme surprise.

"General Xu, what do you think of my arrangements?" Guan Yu, having finished his detailed explanation, calmed down and looked at Xu Rong quietly, awaiting his reply.

"I wonder what the general thinks of Dusheli City?" Xu Rong did not answer Guan Yu directly, but instead asked the name of another city, or rather, another region.

Even Guan Yu, who was mentally prepared, was stunned upon hearing such a reply.

Guan Yu considered his war plans and arrangements to be quite excellent, but facing a senior like Xu Rong, who was exceptionally skilled in command, he was naturally prepared to be evaluated.

But is this a form of evaluation? (End of Chapter)
