"I see that this intelligence only states that the attack was carried out by veterans of the Sixth Level Smelting. What level is the veteran who cooperated?" After Pang Tong diverted Zhuge Jin's attention, he spoke with a bit of solemnity, exonerating himself.
Once you have solved your own problems, it is time to face new problems.
"Five dead soldiers, three at the sixth level, and two at the fifth level." Zhuge Jin looked at Pang Tong and said with narrowed eyes. He had already realized that something was wrong.
"That is definitely not the work of the Jiangdong family. In terms of size, most of the Jiangdong family cannot even compete with a sixth-level smelter who can command it." Pang Tong said calmly, "Three sixth-level smelters account for
More than one percent of the top resources of the Han Empire."
The Koto Family is very strong, but the size of the Sixth Level Smelting is there. With the Koto Family's size, they can win over or intimidate these guys, but if they are really desperate, even if the opponent self-destructs, they can fight back.
As for letting such a person kill Zhou Yu, that is even more nonsense.
"It's not Taiwei." Pang Tong, who may have realized that Zhuge Jin was wrong, said seriously, "There is no need for Taiwei and Shangshu Pushe to be like this."
If Liu Bei and Chen Xi want to take action, there is no need to be so rough. Even if they really want to capture Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Chen Xi only need to order Zhou Yu to return to Chang'an.
You don't need to do anything extra, you just need to send an edict. Whether it's good or bad, it must be executed. It's that simple.
Zhou Yu is strong enough to be called an emperor by Rome. In the eyes of most powerful people in this world, he is a being who needs to be admired. But again, only those who are strong enough, fly high enough, and overcome gravity can
After being restrained and completing the ceremony of ascending to the sky, one can realize what kind of terrifying existence that lonely moon hanging high in the sky really is.
Zhou Yu's strength is for people, while Chen Xi's strength is for Zhou Yu's level.
Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin have both been exposed to this field, so they can realize how powerful Chen Xi is.
There is no need to do this to take down Zhou Yu. If I really have such thoughts, you will not be able to bear the sight of my eyes falling from the sky to you!
Many aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty were only frightened by the sword in Li You's hand, but standing at the level of Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin, they could see that among the several materialized swords behind Chen Xi, Li You was the weakest.
Why use a knife to kill you?
If I want to kill you, as long as I have this thought, no need to say anything, you will die naturally, why not do it like this!
Liu Bei's benevolence, Chen Xi's saintliness, and the structured social rules have been running for too long. Have you forgotten that this era is a feudal monarchy, an era of real cannibalism?
"Suddenly I realized something." Before Zhuge Jin could speak, a heavy meaning appeared on Pang Tong's face, "That person's holiness even made us involuntarily deceive ourselves, making us believe that this era is indeed so stable.
.”
Zhuge Jin remained silent. He knew what Pang Tong was talking about, but he had never challenged Chen Xi's ideas, nor had he thought of touching or testing the rules. In his opinion, this was fine now. At least the strongest person was
I really love peace, so no matter how many troubles there are, at least the overall situation is to follow the rules and follow morality.
"I have sent the photos of these dead soldiers to the Central Plains for confirmation by the Taiwei." Zhuge Jin did not comment on Pang Tong's statement and did not want to go into details. He could just do what he should do now, "Besides, such a big incident has happened
Regarding the matter, I'm afraid Chang'an is already sending people on its way."
There are no veterans above the fifth level of smelting that Liu Bei doesn't know in the Central Plains. Maybe there are a few on Yuan Tan's side, but there are definitely none here in Jiangdong. Therefore, Zhuge Jin had an attitude of appraisal and asked people to directly send the recorded secret mirror to Liu Bei.
Over there, who are these people will be known once they are sent to Liu Bei.
"Check with Guishang." Pang Tong suddenly said.
"Do you think it was done by Kushan?" Zhuge Jin frowned and said, and then his brows suddenly relaxed a lot. If it was done by Kushan, then at least the situation is much better than the current speculation, but these words came from Pang Tong's mouth.
, Zhuge Jin more or less understood what it meant.
"If something really happened, let Chang'an provide the secret technique, endorse it, and conduct testing." Pang Tong said expressionlessly. Although there are some possibilities of evil, Pang Tong doesn't want to think about any of those possibilities, but
Just because Pang Tong doesn't think about it doesn't mean that others won't think about it.
Some things, as long as they are placed there, even if you don't understand them at first, you will naturally understand them later.
After all, from a malicious point of view, Zhou Yu fell, and Chen Xi's apprentice was just suitable to take over. As one of the four major families in Jiangdong, the other party's foundation in Jiangdong was not weak. Considering Chen Xi's character, Zhou Yu was there before.
The Jiangdong Family will not be too active in this aspect, but now that Zhou Yu has fallen, it is hard to say what the Jiangdong Family will do.
Even taking into account the report provided after the seventh-generation ship's trial, Zhou Yu's significance as the naval commander in suppressing Mengkangbu is actually far less than it was before. In other words, Zhou Yu was once the only choice. No matter what problems occurred in the naval battle,
The Han Empire needed Zhou Yu to take over, but with the emergence of seventh-generation ships, Zhou Yu's value has declined significantly.
Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ship are invincible in the world. Without Zhou Yu, others operating the seventh-generation ship may still be invincible. At least Meng Kangbu does not have the means to break the seventh-generation ship. As for jumping into a gang war to face the seventh-generation ship
There is basically no room for the ultra-long-range strikes of generation ships.
Currently, the only way to face seventh-generation ships is collective submersion. However, the seventh-generation Han Dynasty ships have underwater search capabilities and are equipped with special reconnaissance methods. Submarine is effective against seventh-generation ships, but it is necessary to rely on submarines to defeat seventh-generation ships.
ship, that would be a bit wishful thinking.
In this way, without Zhou Yu, the seventh-generation ships led by Gan Ning and Lu Xun seemed to be able to suppress Mengkangbu. It does not mean that without Zhou Yu, the navy would lose its suppression ability and no longer have the ability to defend the Han Dynasty's coastal defenses.
matter.
Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong looked at each other. They had actually speculated on this possibility and saw this speculation in each other's eyes, but neither of them spoke.
"Maybe this is the so-called destiny. Even if you don't do anything, as long as you have this intention, you will naturally have this result. Speaking of which, it is really thanks to that person's morality that he is really worthy of trust." Zhuge
Jin was silent for a long time, and finally spoke with a bit of heaviness.
Even Zhuge Jin found it somewhat ridiculous to put such important family and country matters on other people's morality. Even though Chen Xi's morality is absolutely trustworthy in major matters, Zhuge Jin relied on the other party's morality in such matters.
Jin suddenly realized the fragility of Jiangdong's power.
What's more, the assassination of Zhou Yu in the street was a big deal in Zhuge Jin's eyes, but from Chen Xi's point of view, it might not be considered such a big deal now.
If it is important, it must be very important, but from a purely national standpoint, it means that the princes and kings have passed away, and being assassinated is indeed a very serious matter. But by analogy, the Yuan family's steel furnace exploded and this is actually
It's the same level.
Of course, judging from the personal friendship between Chen Xi and Zhou Yu, it may be higher, but if you think about it rationally, it is the level that Zhuge Jin currently thinks.
"I also think the other party is trustworthy, and it's not just me. If the Jiangdong family has a choice, more people trust Chen Zichuan than the governor." Pang Tong sighed and said, "Anyway, let's investigate this aspect first.
, it’s meaningless to look for problems from our side now.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jin nodded silently and handed the seal left by Zhou Yu directly to Pang Tong. Zhou Yu's orders must still be followed, otherwise there would be chaos in Southeast Asia without waiting for Sun Ce to come back.
Pang Tong left with the seal. What he told Zhuge Jin before was actually the truth. He did not think it was the Jiangdong family or Liu Bei who was assassinated by Chen Xi. Considering the elite personnel used, Pang Tong immediately judged
It's Kushan.
Not to mention how much of this is to calm people's hearts, establish a goal, and avoid internal fighting among forces, but generally this idea is reasonable.
??????55.??????
But this idea has a fatal flaw, that is, someone in the Jiangdong family must have betrayed the Han Dynasty, otherwise the Kushan Empire would not be able to release the assassins to Jiangdong anyway.
In other words, this answer cannot cover up the issue of traitors. There must be some people secretly cooperating, otherwise it would be impossible to seize this opportunity by such a coincidence.
Zhou Yu considered a tactic, and Pang Tong vaguely knew that he would be assassinated. However, this tactic did not require Zhou Yu to fake his death, but only required Zhou Yu to be assassinated.
To suppress the unnecessary thoughts among the direct descendants of the Jiangdong family, Zhou Yu did not need to fake his death at all, he only needed to be stabbed. The Jiangdong family could not bear the shock caused by Zhou Yu's fake death.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yu had fewer guards when he traveled and the guard chief did not protect him in time. This was actually a deliberate arrangement made by Zhou Yu, but he did not expect that someone actually conspired to assassinate him, and there was a big plot. It is estimated that Zhou Yu will not be able to think about it after his death.
I understand why a veteran of Sixth Level Smelting came to assassinate him.
"Then here comes the question. How many people know that Zhou Gongjin is a scheming tactic?" Pang Tong had a cold light in his eyes. Zhuge Jin had already tried it out, and the other party guessed that Zhou Yu had planned the Jiangdong family.
But Zhuge Jin didn't know the cause and effect. If he used this as a reference, he would know that there should only be a few people designed by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's original plan was to design an assassination that would only require a few injuries, and then use this to strengthen the scrutiny of the major aristocratic families and further suppress the Jiangdong aristocratic family.
After all, Zhou Yu is also aware of the resentment of the major aristocratic families. Even Xu Gong led a group of people to conspire loudly. Zhou Yu is also aware of it, so he is going to put on a show, severely suppress this group of people, and then violently censor them.
If something can be found, that is evidence, proving that a rat droppings ruined the pot of soup. If nothing can be found, then the originally prepared evidence will be arranged for Kushan.
Anyway, there is a reason, and I can remove myself anyway.
Needless to say, the former, as long as something is found out, the Jiangdong family that was affected really has nothing to say. If the Jiangdong family's black material is not found, and the irrefutable evidence of Kushan is found, then there will be a united family.
Man’s external enemy, this is also a way of solving internal problems.
Generally speaking, Pang Tong knew exactly what Zhou Yu wanted to play, and he also knew the normal development logic of subsequent events. However, sometimes accidents are completely unreasonable ways of coming. At the very least, Zhou Yu was like this.
The sudden disappearance really exceeded Pang Tong's estimate.
As for whether the above-mentioned gameplay will be discovered by others afterwards, to be honest, it doesn’t make sense if it is discovered or not. There are not many people who can guess it, and even if they can guess it, at that time they can only pretend to understand.
Confused.
[Gong Jin, are you really dead?] Pang Tong put the seal in his sleeve with some doubts. Even when he came out of the government office, he made a point of looking at Zhou Yu's body that was frozen in the ice cellar.
It was also confirmed that this was indeed Zhou Yu, and Pang Tong could not help but have doubts.
After all, that was Zhou Yu. Such an unexpected death would inevitably make Pang Tong suspect that if it was just a fake death, there would be no one in Jiangdong worthy of Zhou Yu's plot.
[Let’s check my conjecture first. Not to mention how this group of people landed on Sumatra Island, just because this group of people can accurately determine the time of Gong Jin’s trip and seize this time when the defense is weak, there is
It’s a big problem.] When Pang Tong lowered his eyebrows, a cold light appeared in the corners of his eyes unconsciously. There was no need to think about anything else. There was definitely an insider involved in these two.
"Zhong Si, invite Pang Zhizhong to come up." Zhang Zhao had been waiting for Pang Tong in a private room of a restaurant not far from the government office. When he saw Pang Tong coming out, Zhang Zhao felt much relieved and immediately asked his son to come up.
Invite Pang Tong.
To be honest, Zhang Zhao shouldn't have done such a thing at such a sensitive time, but he needed to determine one thing, and that was whether the person who plotted against Zhou Yu was an insider or an outsider.
If the people in Jiangdong who are currently working hardest to develop Jiangdong are ranked, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong will definitely be at the forefront. They rejected Liu Bei and Chen Xi three times. In the current environment, let alone
They are almost the laughing stock. If they can find a suitable place where they can truly demonstrate their abilities and prove themselves, these two people absolutely do not want anything to happen.
Therefore, after Zhou Yu fell, Zhang Zhao's despair was definitely no less than that of Cai Mao. After all, both of them had the idea of proving themselves, and Zhou Yu was an important force for these guys to prove themselves.
Zhang Cheng trotted down quickly after hearing this. He was also very aware of the current situation.
When Pang Tong saw Zhang Cheng blocking the way, he actually wanted to go around it, but Zhang Cheng even grabbed Pang Tong's sleeve, making it impossible for Pang Tong to leave. In the end, he had to follow Zhang Cheng into the private room of the restaurant.
After entering the private room, Pang Tong didn't say anything that we shouldn't meet at this time, because when he saw Zhang Zhao when he entered the private room, he realized what kind of state Zhang Zhao was in.
"That's ridiculous." Zhang Zhao sighed and drank a glass of wine first, "Shi Yuan, I just want to ask one thing. Is this done by an insider or an outsider?"
"The assassin was a foreigner, most likely from Guishang." Pang Tong said truthfully.
"Thank you very much. Leave the rest to me. Since it was done by outsiders, I will find out the rest within three to five days." Zhang Zhao sighed lightly. He already understood what Pang Tong meant.
The assassin was an outsider, but without the help of the insider, the outsider could not get in and seize this moment.
"You're welcome, now is the time when we need to support each other." Pang Tong said calmly.
If there is no turmoil on Zhang Zhao's side, at least the internal stability can be maintained. Even after Zhou Yu was assassinated, the entire Southeast Asia belonging to the Wu Kingdom fell into a treacherous situation, but Zhang Zhao is not in chaos, at least on the surface it can still be maintained.
peaceful.
"There are some problems with the Pang family. You'd better check it out. The information that Zheng Zichu used special means to detect may have been covered up by other means, but the fact that he has been in contact with the Pang family will not change." Zhang Zhao gave Pang Tong another message.
He toasted with a glass of wine and said very seriously.
Pang Tong was silent when he heard this, and Zhang Zhao didn't say anything either. After the two had a drink, Pang Tong left the table expressionlessly.
"Is there a problem with the Pang family?" After Pang Tong left, Zhang Cheng looked at his father and asked.
"Zheng Zichu will not do anything nonsense. Since he dared to send that information, it means that he has verified it repeatedly. However, Zhuge Ziyu wanted stability and did not want to cause civil strife, so he still continued the governor's order, but this
It cannot conceal the fact that there is a problem with the Pang family." Zhang Zhao said with a depressed expression, "Although we don't know the cause and effect, it is certain that there is a problem."
"Uncle's side..." Zhang Cheng nodded silently to express his understanding, and then asked.
"We have already gone to meet with General Cai. The five dead soldiers who are above the fifth level of smelting cannot be easily taken out by internal thieves. Then there are only outside thieves, and now only Guishang can be an outsider."
Zhang Zhao said with a gloomy expression. As for other speculations, Zhang Zhao did not dare to think about any of them.
"Since we are foreign thieves and we are alone overseas, we can find a suitable landing location and then follow the map." Zhang Zhao explained to his son.
"Landing location?" Zhang Cheng frowned.
"There are not many natural ports, and Sumatra Island has been operated by us for so many years. We have land-based forts, beacon towers arranged on the coastline, etc. It is not that easy to land under the nose of our coastal defense without being discovered.
It's easy, you have to use some internal personnel, just let General Cai investigate this kind of thing." Zhang Zhao didn't care about Zhang Cheng's stupidity and explained naturally.
"What if they swam directly from the sea?" Zhang Cheng was silent for a while and asked a fatal question.
It's the end of the month. Those who have votes can vote. The above
