Seeing this, Tian Chou said: "My lord, although General Jia's words are reasonable, the death of a small number of people is still worthwhile in exchange for victory in the battle. If the battle is taken advantage of by the rebels, wouldn't there be more people suffering from the flames of war. "

Jia Rong showed surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the civil servants under Liu Yu's command were all good, and his analysis of the war situation was logical.

Seeing Liu Yu turn his eyes to himself, Jia Rong said: "What Lord Wei and Lord Tian said are all right, but our army only has 5 troops, while the enemy army has 20, Changping city is low, and our army has no defensive weapons. There are not many people in the city."

"It can be said that it is an empty city. It does not make much sense to defend an empty city. Besides, our army has more than [-] cavalry. It may be that they are not without the strength to fight. Please think twice."

Gongsun Zan echoed, "General Jia's words are very true. The little rebels are nothing to worry about. Once the cavalry arrives, they will definitely flee in embarrassment." Many generals echoed the words.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan agreed with Jia Rong's statement, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

Wei You said: "Going out of the city to fight, the enemy's numerical advantage will become greater, and it will be even more disadvantageous to our army."

Gongsun Zan said angrily, "If we go out of the city to fight, Baima Yicong is willing to be in the front."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Master Wei misunderstood me. He used cavalry to deal with the rebels, while our army retreated to Jicheng to defend. The walls of Jicheng are so high that it is difficult for the enemy to break through."

When Liu Yu heard the words, his face immediately pulled down, and he said angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense, the traitors are committing rebellion, we wait for the king's salary, how can we flee without fighting, I am determined to defend Changping, the city is alive, the city is broken People are dead, please do not repeat, as for the matter of going out of the city to fight, leave it to General Gongsun."

Liu Yu's generous statement made the civil and military officials in Youzhou a little excited. Jia Rong's statement of retreating to Jicheng was very acceptable to them, and they saluted in unison: "Your Excellency is wise!" Among them, Lai Jiarong's thoughts were difficult for officials of the Han Dynasty to accept.

The gains and losses of a city and a pool don't mean anything. Retaining the strength of the army is the best choice.

Liu Yu's words won the support of many people, but Jia Rong was left there. Many generals looked at Jia Rong with a hint of disdain. It would be very shameful for a general to retreat without a fight. Rong's reputation as a famous general dimmed a lot because of this incident.

Jia Rong's face was a bit difficult. In the Youzhou Army, he was able to stand here entirely by virtue of his title of famous general. Jia Rong's strength here is very weak, which does not mean that he can stand Liu Yu's face-to-face shouting.

Lu Bu stood up proudly behind him and said: "At the time when Xianbei was rampant, my eldest brother led more than 400 people and killed nearly 2000 people in Xianbei. He would be afraid of the small rebels."

"Empty words are not credible!" Xian Yuyin said with a cold snort.

Jia Rong waved his hand to stop Lu Bu, and said, "Lord Liu has a commendable heart!"

Everyone gave Jia Rong a surprised look. Which general is not a bloody generation, and if he puts it on anyone, he will definitely not be able to bear Liu Yu's public ridicule.

Liu Yu also realized that Cai's words were a little too aggressive, and looked at Jia Rong with an apologetic expression.

"Rong feels unwell, so I'll take my leave first." His tone was tactful, but Jia Rong didn't show any gesture of salute. Anyway, Liu Yu is a royal family and a Shepherd of Youzhou. In terms of rank, Jia Rong is still a few grades behind.

Leaving you looking for someone looking at each other, Jia Rong turned around and walked away.

Lu Bu, Jiang Yu and other generals followed.

Gongsun Zan intended to stop him, but was dissuaded by the generals around him.

Liu Yu's face sank like water, and he snorted coldly: "Everyone, work hard together to defend Changping City. When the rebels are defeated, I will ask for credit for you in front of the Holy One."

"No!" Everyone responded loudly.

The lack of cavalry in Zhang Ju's army is an uncertain fact, and the Wuhuan people have just captured Youbeiping, and it is difficult to take into account the battle in Changping for a while; the best strategy is to use the mobility of the cavalry to attack long distances and cut off the rebel army's food road. However, it is not very useful to keep the cavalry in the city.

Afterwards, Jia Rong also realized that his behavior in front of Liu Yu just now was a little too aggressive, but he didn't show any sign of remorse, "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others", he is a famous general after all, how can he not have a temper, Jia Rong secretly thought.

The next day, after Jia Rong led [-] cavalry to replenish food and grass, he resigned to Liu Yu and left.

It is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Liu Yu may be a good old man, but it does not mean that the civil servants and military generals under his command are also the same. Different ways do not conspire with each other. Jia Rong decided to lead the army back. History has doomed Zhang Ju’s demise. Why do you have such a big heart, why not go back to Jincheng to run your own lair.

Hearing Jia Rong's resignation, Gongsun Zan rushed over and said in an eager tone: "Zhiyuan, there are 20 rebels outside the city, and Zhiyuan only has more than 1000 people. You can't take risks alone. Why bother with Master Liu? I'm going to intercede for Zhiyuan."

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Bo Gui is too worried, Zhang Ju is destined to not last long, there are many affairs in Jincheng, and I have been away from Jincheng for more than half a year, it is time to go back."

Seeing that Jia Rong had made up his mind, Gongsun Zan sighed, "Then protect yourself on the way to Zhiyuan."

"I met Zhiyuan once, and I don't have anything to give away as a brother. I got this war horse by accident. It is an extraordinary horse. Today, I gave it to Zhiyuan. It can be regarded as a horse with a hero."

Jia Rong was slightly moved. After getting along for so long, Gongsun Zan is still a very good person, and he behaves aboveboard.

"Thank you, brother Bogui, for your kindness, I am ashamed to accept it."

Before leaving, Jia Rong said meaningfully: "Brother Bogui, soldiers are the foundation of an army. Soldiers are not only required to obey orders and prohibitions, but also to be rewarded and punished."

Gongsun Zan looked a little confused, but still cupped his fists and said, "I have written down Zhiyuan's words."

Jia Rong patted his horse's belly and rode out of the north gate first. Changping City in his sight became smaller and smaller.

The horse that Gongsun Zan gave was really good, not to mention its body shape, and when it ran, the bumps on the horse's back were very small, which attracted Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others to look sideways.

After resting in Jicheng for three full days, Jia Rong led the army and set off. The difference was that Jia Rong suddenly became the caravan's guard.

The caravan escorted belonged to Jincheng. I heard that Jia Rongyu was going to lead an army to protect it. The person in charge of Youzhou Xianlian Pavilion bought a lot of items that Jincheng needed. The caravan was guarded by Jia Rong, so it was absolutely safe.

Being able to use more than 1000 cavalry at a time meant that no one dared to provoke this caravan.

Jia Rong couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation of the people along the way. The route chosen by the team was to pass through Jizhou, pass by Sili, and then return to Liangzhou. This route was actually for the caravan to buy goods along the way.

Zhang Chun was originally the Prime Minister of Zhongshan. After Zhang Ju joined forces to openly rebel, it was the Jizhou people who suffered disasters first. For obedient counties, Zhang Chun sent troops to garrison, and the villages along the way were the best looting targets for the rebels. Years of wars, even the affluent Jizhou did not have much surplus food, Zhang Ju treated his soldiers generously, and many people who were forced by life chose to join, so the scale of the rebel army became larger and larger.

The second update is here, and there is another update tonight. It is not easy to update. I have a little time in my busy schedule. Please support me a lot!
