...

Generally speaking, evaluations will certainly be both good and bad.

Having prepared himself for evaluation, Guan Yu was able to accept it, whether it was good or bad.

If things are good, preserve them; if things are bad, correct them. As someone who climbed up from the bottom, Guan Yu himself didn't have that much burden, nor did he feel that his command ability and army deployment were invincible.

However, Guan Yu received neither good nor bad reviews.

"Dusheli City?" Guan Yu, faced with this question, temporarily set aside his evaluation, recalled the map in his mind, and said thoughtfully, "From the Kalmanta City region, head southwest along the coastline, and you'll reach Dusheli City. It's a major maritime city belonging to the Kushan Empire, with numerous shipyards..."

In terms of defense and offensive capabilities alone, Dushali City is far inferior to Champa City at this time.

If Champa City, within the overall structure of the Brahmanical system, was a deep defensive fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, then Dusari City was an extremely special city.

Without towering city walls or deep defensive lines, taking down the enemy is not difficult from an offensive standpoint.

Even without a major river like the Ganges to provide logistical support, it wouldn't change how easy it would be to attack this city.

The reason for choosing to attack Jambo instead of Dushali was that the navy ultimately failed to gain control of the sea. Even if they managed to capture a major naval city of the Kushan army by forcibly attacking it on land, how many days could they hold out?
Staying in a purely coastal fortified city, and then enduring long-range strikes and harassment from the Kushan navy, no matter how many elite troops are sent in, it won't be enough.

As for the so-called coastal defenses and permanent fortifications, they could not be built in a short time. Therefore, considering the actual impact on the battlefield and the current state of their own army, everyone chose to attack Champa City and launch an attack along the Ganges River.

"Since Dusheli City is so good, I will organize an army to attack it after I return to Kalmanta City..." After Guan Yu finished his description, Xu Rong bowed and then ended the topic, describing what he was going to do next.

Not long after, Xu Rong left Guan Yu's tent and, with the newly reorganized elite troops of Xiliang, headed down the Ganges River to Kalmanta City.

"I never expected this to happen, it's quite unexpected." Guo Jia, watching Xu Rong leave with his elite troops, spoke with some surprise.

I had considered that things might improve or worsen after Xu Rong arrived, but I never imagined that Xu Rong would actually leave.

It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the possibility is just too low.

Xu Rong, who came to the battlefield with a purpose, must have something he wanted to obtain. His decision to give it up so readily suggests another possibility.

Guo Jia himself was pleased with this possibility, as it would benefit the entire army and Guan Yu as well.

Guan Yu, who had not received his own evaluation while staying in the main tent, watched Xu Rong leave but ultimately did not ask for an assessment of his upcoming plans.

After confirming that Xu Rong had gradually moved away, Guan Yu shifted his focus to the army, continuing to adjust deployments and arrangements to deal with the massive Kushan army. Leading his troops swiftly south along the Ganges, Xu Rong looked at his cavalry behind him and sighed softly.

After listening to Guan Yu's arrangements, Xu Rong knew that there was not much he could do to help. Rather than hindering others' achievements and performance, he might as well take a different path.

Returning to Kalmanta, it will be possible to attack Dushali without coordinating too many troops.

Judging from the current situation and the enemy's defenses, taking Dushil is not particularly difficult.

The only real challenge is governing the city after it has been captured, in order to prevent it from being recaptured and counterattacked by the enemy.

Theoretically speaking, the most efficient way to deal with a major naval city like Dushali and avoid being counterattacked by the enemy's navy is to wipe it out.

If all the people and creatures in that area are wiped out, there will naturally be no more collusion between insiders and outsiders affecting the city.

However, such an event would have a tremendous moral impact, and could even seriously affect the evaluation and recognition of the Han Empire within the entire Brahmanical system, which would only have far-reaching consequences.

After briefly considering the potential political problems, Xu Rong had no choice but to abandon this one-size-fits-all approach and instead turn to another direction.

However, before launching a full-scale attack, Xu Rong still needed to coordinate a certain number of troops and provisions to prepare for the subsequent war.

Compared to the internal communication and discussions between Guan Yu and Xu Rong, the thoughts within the Brahmin community were completely different.

Relying on the existing high-intensity defensive depth, the blocking effect can be very obvious and extremely terrifying.

The closer they got to the walls of Jambo, the larger the army and the greater the pressure from the Kushan forces. The more frequent and varied their counterattacks became, and the greater the cost the Han army would bear, eventually becoming unbearable.

Therefore, whether based on theory or reality, Kailash would not have any intention of changing the plan again in the short term. Instead, he would strictly and accurately implement the original plan to deal with the Han army forces fighting against foreign enemies.

Or, when a plan involving hundreds of thousands of troops is fully prepared, how many people would dare to make large-scale changes if there is insufficient information to corroborate and judge that the plan is flawed?
Let alone Kailash, even Rahul wouldn't do something so foolish.

Without sufficient evidence, this is tantamount to internal self-denial, which will significantly impact the prestige and credibility within the military system, especially when the commander's prestige has not reached an absolute peak.

Of course, someone like Bai Qi, who achieved a life of continuous victories, would accumulate enough prestige and authority to manipulate the battlefield at will.

As for the lack of information and evidence, can that even be called a problem?
However, on the front lines of the battlefield today, no general or commander can achieve such prestige, a prestige unique to the pinnacle of military strategy.

"Order the naval forces to execute the plan!" After confirming that Fa Zheng and Guo Jia had already assessed the weather and ensured favorable conditions for the next few days, Guan Yu issued the order to begin the plan. (End of Chapter)
