Gan Ning has a very good strategic view of the overall situation. This is also the reason why, as the director of the navy and theoretically Zhou Yu's superior, he never had any conflict with Zhou Yu even though he was actually led by Zhou Yu. Certain things, he himself
It's actually very clear to see.
Therefore, after Ye Diao sent intelligence and confirmed the news that Meng Kangbu had passed before, Gan Ning broke out in a cold sweat. Zhou Yu's death had a great impact on the current situation, especially in this Han army.
At a time when the navy had not yet recovered, Gan Ning could not guarantee that he could temporarily take over Zhou Yu's duties, even with seventh-generation ships.
"This is really fatal." Gan Ning just looked at the criss-cross distribution of forces on the map and the possible march route of the Kushan Navy. Considering that Zhou Yu was dead, Gan Ning felt a little numb. These things had to be handed over to him.
If it comes to handling it, he really has no confidence.
"Go and inform Ziyi and Wen Xiang to come to the camp." Gan Ning read the map, rolled it up with an expressionless face, and then left the camp and ordered to his guards.
In the navy, even though Gan Ning delegated most of his power to Zhou Yu as the highest commander, Gan Ning still had his own team and his own team. Gan Ning's suggestion to Zhou Yu at the beginning was that the two sides should completely merge.
, as the nominal supervisor, Zhou Yu will perform his duties.
However, Zhou Yu rejected the proposal after careful consideration and suggested that Gan Ning set up his own team and framework so that if anything went wrong on his side, Gan Ning could quickly take over.
Gan Ning didn't quite understand it at the time, but now Gan Ning really understands it. For example, if Gan Ning didn't have such a small naval team that could operate independently this time, then the Han Dynasty Navy would probably be in turmoil for a long time.
Time, because without Zhou Yu, Jiangdong will really have serious internal disputes. In fact, just by looking at the speed of information transmission, we can see how serious this internal turmoil is.
Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng rushed over quickly. They were not surprised when Gan Ning informed them to go to the main tent. Every time after meeting Meng Kangbu, Gan Ning would be in a period of depression. At this time, the two of them were
Coming here is also a way to maintain status.
However, after coming here this time, both Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng realized that Gan Ning's situation was very different from before. Every time before, Gan Ning looked depressed at most, but this time, just by stepping into the camp
, both Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng could feel Gan Ning's dignity.
"What happened? Did Meng Kang place a war message?" Taishi Ci looked at Gan Ning's expression and asked with a strange look on his face.
Apart from this possibility, Taishi Ci could not think of any other possibility that could make Gan Ning so dignified. But it shouldn't be. The civil servants on the Jiangdong side and Gan Ning were all concerned about Meng Kangbu's current construction of Ceylon Island and turning it into a fortress.
After explaining the behavior, it is said that the other party should not have any extra thoughts to cause trouble for Kunwu State now. After all, the fortress-shaped Ceylon Island can be said to be the strategic fulcrum of Kushan in the next stage.
"It's worse than this. The governor was assassinated and died." Gan Ning first used special means to seal off his camp to prevent the sound from spreading outside, and then said with a solemn face.
Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng were both stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Gan Ning with ghostly expressions on their faces. Don't say such nonsense. How could Zhou Yu be assassinated in the street and die?
However, no matter how shocked they were, in the face of Gan Ning's solemn expression, the two of them could only suppress the shock in their hearts and quietly wait for Gan Ning's explanation.
"It is still uncertain who assassinated him. Although Zhuge Ziyu said in the secret letter that he was conducting a self-investigation, I estimate that Chang'an will need to send someone to determine the outcome." Gan Ning looked at Taishi Cihe with a solemn expression.
Xu Sheng said, "But how to investigate this matter is not important. The only important thing is the strategic reversal of the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Navy after the death of the governor."
Both Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng's expressions became ugly. Indeed, compared to how those scumbags in Jiangdong investigated this matter, what was more troublesome in the future was indeed how the Han Dynasty Navy, which had lost its main backbone, would be without Zhou Yu.
Facing the problem of Kushan.
"Look, this is the Island of Ceylon, and this is Malacca. With Moncomb's ability, if we use the Island of Ceylon as a springboard to directly break through this position, the Indian Ocean will basically not be owned by us, and the situation will return to the situation of Selian.
While alive." Gan Ning opened the map and pointed on it, so that Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng could understand the current situation more clearly.
"What should we do now?" Xu Sheng looked at the distribution of forces on the map and roughly deduce the upcoming situation. He looked at Gan Ning with a heavy look on his face and asked.
"I have received a notice from Chang'an, ordering me to go to Donglai to take over the seventh-generation ship." Gan Ning said concisely and concisely, "But this is not enough, and after I leave Kunwu, the Kou family's foundation will
It is very likely that we will encounter a blow from Meng Combo, so we must make certain contractions next, but fortunately, the Kou family has already made preparations in this regard."
As early as the eighth year of Yuanfeng, after the Han Dynasty Navy was attacked by Meng Kangbu, the Kou family had planned to shrink it. After receiving Kou Jun's death in battle and Meng Kangbu began to fortify Ceylon Island, the Kou family on Kunwu's side
Then began a large-scale contraction, migrating from the coast to the interior.
However, due to the existence of Gan Ning, and Meng Kangbu not wanting to get entangled in the competition for one city and one land in Kunwu Kingdom, he put all his thoughts into fortifying the island of Ceylon, so that so far, Meng Kangbu has not
To launch an attack on the feudal country where the Kou family lives, of course shipbuilding is out of the question.
The problem is that this is because Gan Ning was in a confrontation with Meng Kambu in the Kunwu Kingdom. Meng Kambu did not touch Gan Ning on the basis that this city and place were not too important and he wanted to complete the strategic pivot first.
To develop, but if Gan Ning leaves, it is only natural for Meng Kangbu to defeat the Kunwu Kingdom. After all, it does not take much effort and is easy to give a few blows.
"Then Wen Xiang and I stay here in the Kunwu Kingdom. You go back to Chang'an first. But if Chang'an informs you to pick up the seventh-generation ship, over there in Jiangdong..." Taishi Ci showed a rare sensitivity and looked at it.
Gan Ning had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Chang'an's intelligence must have been received from Southeast Asia. It needs to be confirmed after receipt. And because it involves Zhou Yu's death, many things need to be determined carefully. In addition, using the true seventh-generation ship being tested, these
They all have to attend meetings.
Under such circumstances, the Han Dynasty was able to send the information ahead of the Jiangdong group. Even if it was just one step, it was enough to explain a lot of problems.
"The problems within Jiangdong are much bigger than imagined." Gan Ning said with a gloomy face, "The news that the governor was assassinated should have been copied directly to me when it was reported to Chang'an. After all, from the theoretical perspective
Speaking from a higher level, I am the director of the Navy."
Gan Ning's rank is higher than Zhou Yu's. There is nothing to say about this. In theory, the navy is controlled by Gan Ning, but Zhou Yu is more capable. Gan Ning has never competed in this aspect, so the navy is controlled by Zhou Yu.
Come take command, and listen to Zhou Yu's command yourself.
Therefore, when there is any problem within the navy, theoretically the first person to report it is Gan Ning. Of course, because Zhou Yu also has a special status, there is no problem in reporting it to Chang'an first, then to Sun Ce, and finally to Gan Ning, but Chang'an
After Bian received the news and conveyed it to Gan Ning, Gan Ning received the news from Jiang Dong, which really caused a big problem.
"Forget it, let's forget about this for now. It is an internal problem within Jiangdong. If such a big thing happens this time, there will definitely be great turmoil within Jiangdong. You also know what Sun Bofu is like. He can really do it.
The matter of destroying the Jiangdong family." Gan Ning said with a heavy expression, "This will cause many, many conflicts."
It’s not that Gan Ning takes a long-term view, but Chen Xi’s position is very clear. Chen Xi’s enfeoffment of princes is not to find a father for himself, but for his own ideals and to complete the construction of the Han cultural circle, so Chen Xi will give people abroad, whether they are
Han aristocratic families, vassals with middle-level titles, etc. provided certain resource support to ensure that they could take root firmly and eventually grow stronger.
Based on this logic, Chen Xi has little control over the internal operations of the major princes. However, if any prince wants to destroy himself, Chen Xi will never allow it, because what is damaged is no longer the power of the princes, but the power of the princes.
It is the strength of the Han Dynasty and Chen Xi’s ideal.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi hid it from Sun Ce. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Yu is not completely dead. It can only be said that he was assassinated and can be redeemed. If he is really dead, Chen Xi may have no choice but to notify Sun Ce to come to Chang'an and then form his own organization
The investigation team, led by the veteran, went to Southeast Asia to conduct investigations, and finally found out the truth and gave Sun Ce a result.
As for letting Sun Ce investigate this kind of thing by himself, Chen Xi really wouldn't dare if Zhou Yu died, because Sun Ce would really make a river of blood. In the past, Sun Ce didn't kill many Jiangdong aristocratic families, because Zhou Yu wanted to give these people
People have a sense of dignity. Now that Zhou Yu is gone, it is possible for Sun Ce to let these people be buried with Zhou Yu to match his dignity back then.
The problem is that this kind of gameplay is really bad. After the death of Qin Mugong, more than a hundred Qin ministers were buried with him. It would really seriously damage the country's power. Therefore, Chen Xi could accept Sun Ce's revenge for Zhou Yu, but Chen Xi
It is impossible to accept Sun Ce's execution of the three tribes and nine tribes involved.
The damage caused by the latter to Chen Xi's Han cultural circle was too great to bear.
"I will return to Chang'an, and then take the seventh-generation ship to Sumatra to guard Malacca. During this period, if Meng Khambu comes again, you can tell him that I am sharpening the knife. I guess he will not doubt it a few times in the past. As for doubting it later, by that time, the manpower is already there.
The transfer is complete, it doesn't matter what he thinks." Gan Ning said calmly, "The next step is up to you. I'm afraid I will have to attend Governor Zhou's case. This matter is too big.
Already."
"Is it possible that it was Guishang's hand?" Xu Sheng asked in a tone that was either a test or a suggestion.
"It must be the hands of Kushan, but even if it is the hands of Kushan who assassinated the governor in the street in a place like Ye Tiao, there must be insiders involved, otherwise just a route would not be from Kushan to Ye Tiao
The Kushan soldiers can solve it, and if too many high-level Kushan officials are involved, Jiangdong will get wind of it anyway." Gan Ning said with a gloomy expression.
"That's it." Taishi Ci had a complicated expression when he heard this, but he had to admit that what Gan Ning said was very correct. Regardless of whether it was Kushan who did it or not, it is meaningless in this situation. Whether it was Kushan who did it or not, can
Killing Zhou Yu is incredible in itself.
"I will go north now, and then return to Chang'an through the airspace. The next step is up to you." Gan Ning stood up and saluted Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng. The work for the two of them will be very heavy next, and it is very likely that this place will change.
For the front line of the war.
There is no way, Zhou Yu died in the hands of Guishang, then the truce agreement signed before can basically be regarded as torn up by default. In this way, Mengkangbu's direct attack is no longer impossible, and with
Under the current situation, it is simply natural for Mengkangbu to attack Kunwu Country.
After all, if you really want to attack Malacca, you must first knock out the Kunwu Kingdom and relieve the Kunwu Kingdom's defense forces. When you attack yourself, your home on Ceylon Island will not be raided.
The existence of Rama Bridge can ensure that the seventh-generation ships cannot go around Ceylon Island to hunt down their navy, but it also provides conditions for the army to land. Although due to the poor terrain conditions of Ceylon Island,
While the initial fortressization is being completed, it is difficult for the army to deploy on the island of Ceylon, but with the combat effectiveness of the Han army, even a small-scale landing can cause considerable trouble to Kushan.
Therefore, once Mongkhambu really wanted to launch an attack on Malacca, he would definitely send troops first to curb the power of the Kou family.
"Just leave it to us. When the Super Xingba comes over, let us take a good look." Taishi Ci said with a smile. Yes, the first seventh-generation ship continued its previous title and was still called Xingba.
, but to distinguish it from previous battleships, it is generally called the Super Xingba.
"Don't worry, although I am no match for Meng Kangbu in a naval battle, with the Xingba and the large-scale pseudo-seventh-generation ships, unless Meng Kangbu's main force is fully mobilized, I am still sure to completely suppress the opponent.
To be continued...
