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.
"Gan Ning said very confidently. He knew exactly what the power and parameters of the seventh-generation ship were. It was a masterpiece that Brother Lu Jun was building while sending him messages.
"Is there any way you can crack the submarine one now?" Tai Shici asked.
If you can't beat him, then dive. This is a special technique and tactic developed by Zhou Yu. Selian was so fierce back then and couldn't kill Zhou Yu because Zhou Yu's submarine skills were really outrageous. Now it's Meng Kangbu who faces Zhou Yu.
So Mengcomb also began to dive.
"The seventh-generation ship has large-scale equipment for searching for submersible ships." Gan Ning nodded. He told Lu Jun all the difficulties he encountered, and Lu Jun led a group of master craftsmen to overcome them one by one.
"Compared to Governor Zhou, many functions of the seventh-generation ship are actually prepared for me, because he can defeat Mengkangbu without these functions." Gan Ning said with some emotion.
For Zhou Yu, the techniques and tactics he has mastered, as well as various special marine secrets, allow him to exert extremely terrifying strength without relying on the ship's large equipment. Therefore, Zhou Yu's requirements for the seventh-generation ship are to be more powerful.
Strong output, stronger defense, faster speed.
But Gan Ning is different. Gan Ning's qualifications are there. Some of the gadgets that Zhou Yu picked up at his fingertips require Gan Ning to study hard to master them. Therefore, Gan Ning's performance of the seventh-generation ship is not limited to those gadgets that Zhou Yu needs.
, as well as a higher investigation scope, more accurate information collection, etc. Gan Ning has also found a set of things that belong to him regarding naval battles.
For example, you can find the enemy from a farther distance, then use ultra-long-range strikes to strike, and then kill the opponent without being able to detect you, etc.
It's just that in the past, these ideas could not be realized by Gan Ning alone. Now that the seventh-generation ship is to be delivered to Gan Ning, the things that were previously conceived can be put to use.
After giving instructions to Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng, Gan Ning first took the overland route to Samāya Zha, and then flew all the way to Chang'an along the airspace. This is the airspace on the Ganges River specifically reserved for internal air separation. In fact,
Above is the route reserved for the Southwest Passage.
By flying, Gan Ning quickly arrived in Chang'an. At this time, Mi Zhu had already completed gathering his staff and was waiting for Xun Yue to return, taking Xun Yue with him to the Ganges River to investigate.
"Xingba, you came back really quickly." Mi Zhu looked at Gan Ning falling from the sky with a look of emotion on his face, "I originally thought you would delay your return for a few days."
"Other times, it's just a fool's errand. How could such a big thing be delayed?" Gan Ning, who was ringing the bell, looked at Mi Zhu with a smile and said, but then he stopped smiling and looked at Mi Zhu and asked, "Zizhong,
What is the situation in Jiangdong? Is there any definite information now?"
"One thing is certain, that is, Governor Zhou was indeed assassinated by Guishang. I am now organizing people to go to the south to investigate." Mi Zhu sighed and said, "There is no need to spread this news. You will meet Taiwei and Zi later."
Chuan will know more details."
"Aren't Governor Zhou's guards three six-level smelters?" Gan Ning said with a livid face. "Normally, those three guards with detection, defense and parry skills should be able to support the Governor for a few seconds even if they break through the boundary.
How could he be assassinated?"
Gan Ning was thinking about this issue when he flew back, but the more he thought about it, the more strange he became. How on earth Zhou Yu was assassinated, not to mention Zhou Yu's own inner strength. Gan Ning also knew that individual strength needs to be stimulated in actual combat.
, Zhou Yu, for example, cannot use the strength of his internal energy to leave his body, but in addition to his own strength, Zhou Yu also has personal guards to protect him.
"Actually, there are four, three on the surface and one hidden." Mi Zhu said helplessly, "But before, the governor only brought one Zhou Ming with him in order to fish for his assassins."
Zhou Ming is also numb. He has now confessed everything he should. Even because Zhou Yu died, he wanted to commit suicide to apologize, but everyone persuaded him to stop him. If Zhou Ming died at this time, he would not be able to wait until Sun Ce came back.
The method has been explained, who knows whether to commit suicide to apologize or kill to silence him.
Therefore, although Zhou Ming was imprisoned, no one caused trouble. As the first person involved in the case, Zhou Ming can only wait for Chang'an to come over to find out the truth. After verifying his identity, he will hand it over to Sun Ce. As for the matter
Others are probably trying to avoid it now.
"So it's true that people from within Jiangdong were involved, right?" Gan Ning said with a livid face, "It's clear that a family with such ability is actually involved, right?"
Mi Zhu was silent for a while, looked at Gan Ning again, and finally nodded.
"You really don't know how to live or die!" Gan Ning said angrily.
"This involves not only the involvement of Jiangdong's internal personnel, but also the game between the seventh-generation ship and Governor Zhou." Mi Zhu sighed, but in the end he didn't say it too clearly, but just took a deep look.
Gan Ning.
To a certain extent, it is not because some people judge that the current Gan Ning and the seventh-generation ship can fight against Mengkangbu head-on, and Zhou Yu is no longer irreplaceable, will certain things be intensified?
,Although it was an accident, without the seventh-generation ship, those people would not dare.
After all, if you can't beat Moncombe, everything you have now is just a sand sculpture in front of the waves.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can handle things according to the Jiangdong family, isn't it because no matter how harsh the conditions are, there will be huge rewards in the future?
Even reduced to a very simple level, the Jiangdong family is willing to follow Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and sacrifice their own interests. Isn't it because Zhou Yu can suppress Meng Kangbu and bring them greater benefits?
But when the seventh-generation ship appeared, Zhou Yu was no longer the only candidate.
Of course, this kind of thought is just in the mind and will not be expressed. However, when Zhou Yu suppressed the major families, pushed forward the favor order, and weakened the military power of the major families, etc., the Jiangdong family wanted to
It is impossible to say that there is no reverse psychology.
I tolerated you Zhou Yu in the past because you are unique and irreplaceable. In addition, all the current losses, with your leadership of Zhou Yu, can be made up for in the future and get more, but now you Zhou Yu can do things
, Gan Ning can do it with his seventh-generation ship, and Gan Ning will not encroach on our existing interests, so why don't we embrace Gan Ning.
It is true that the Han Empire estimates that the Jiangdong family may not have really thought about killing Zhou Yu subconsciously. Most likely, they just want to teach Zhou Yu a lesson, let Zhou Yu understand that this group of people in the industry is not easy to mess with, and then both parties will give him a step.
, this comes to an end, and we can continue to hold each other back for survival.
After all, no matter how promising the future is, it is a fact that they are cutting off their flesh now. In the eyes of the Jiangdong family, they have already cut off a lot of flesh, and it is almost time to come to an end. They cannot always let them cut their flesh. This does not mean that they will grow old.
Dead.
Therefore, it is almost casual to indulge in certain aspects.
As for really making trouble and scheming against Zhou Yu, according to the analysis of Zhuge Liang and others, I am afraid that he would not dare to do so. But Zhou Yu would not dare to plot, which does not mean that he would not dare to indulge the existing manpower to do bad things. The latter is very important to Jiangdong.
As far as the aristocratic family is concerned, they are not only daring, but also extremely courageous - it was not us who did it anyway. I just neglected my duty at most. Can the stupid Kushan assassin still kill Zhou Yu?
Even if I'm found out by then, I'm just derelict in my duty. What's there to be afraid of? I don't believe Zhou Yu can't feel the displeasure of our Jiangdong family.
I feel it, but Zhou Yu's body is now in the cold storage.
Mi Zhu didn't know what the Jiangdong family was thinking, but he knew that the Jiangdong family involved was definitely going to die. The family that had been instructing these Jiangdong families behind the scenes not to engage in direct confrontation and to play with corpses would also die. In short, as a result of Zhou Yu's attack on the street, this group of people
People really can't bear it.
Maybe, now the Jiangdong family has begun to clean up their hands, especially after it is confirmed that Zhou Yu is indeed dead, all the families who realize what they have done and indulged in have begun to cut and bite at the speed of light.
, is very close.
Mi Zhu's words gave Gan Ning a wake-up call. After all, he just looks like Er Ha and has a brain like Er Ha, but this does not mean that Gan Ning is stupid. On the contrary, Gan Ning is a son of an orthodox family, and the Jinfan thief is just his hobby.
Eighteen years old, the governor of Shu County. The Gan family is not considered a top wealthy family in the Central Plains, but it is still a real wealthy family, so Gan Ning can still understand certain conspiracies and tricks as long as he is willing to think about it.
After all, the words and deeds within the family are so profound that you will understand something naturally even if you don't deliberately learn it.
"It's really disgusting." Gan Ning said with a look of disgust.
"Yes, it is clear that Governor Zhou plus the seventh-generation ship is the biggest advantage, and can completely crush the Kushan Navy from the front, but he would give up because of such a thing." Mi Zhu nodded, and then started the meeting.
The content of the time told Gan Ning, "So your task is very heavy next. You have to launch the seventh-generation ship and exert enough power to deter Mengkangbu. Otherwise, you will be in great trouble."
"The problem is that if there is only one seventh-generation ship, it can only carry out missions in one direction. And because of the situation this time, we have to send the seventh-generation ship to Malacca first." Gan Ning frowned and said, "Kushan
They are not blind, they will also take precautions after seeing the seventh-generation ship. Originally, the seventh-generation ship should have caught Kushan off guard in the first battle, or even directly severely damaged the opponent, but now..."
Now guard Malacca and don't run around. Kushan's spies who are not blind will definitely be able to see the seventh-generation ship. Kushan will definitely be on guard when the time comes. Again, Gan Ning will take the seventh-generation ship and other fleets.
If Shuang and Gan Ning fight head-on, Gan Ning will definitely not lose, but how mentally ill does the other party have to be to fight you head-on at this time?
The US emperor has to build several aircraft carrier fleets. Doesn’t it mean that it needs to undertake the tasks of several areas? A seventh-generation ship is very strong, but Kushan will not divide its forces?
Slip away, slip away, fail to get up early, miserable
