"I gave him an advantage, but he actually committed suicide in the end." Kou Feng looked at Gal'an's body with dissatisfaction. Although he had a deep hatred with Guishang, a serious person from Jiangmen, unless he is at the level of Wu Zixu,
Killing the enemy leader's corpse is generally not done.
Especially since the other party was not a heinous guy in his own mind, so when he saw Gal'an's body after committing suicide on the top of the mountain, Kou Feng cursed a few words in displeasure and ordered people to bury him in the ground. As for the others,
Among the Kushan soldiers who were willing to surrender, Kou Feng ordered his men to identify their respective situations and then surrender those who should surrender, and execute those who should be executed on the spot.
"I originally thought that Ceylon Island would become a bloodletting point for us, but I didn't expect that it would be captured so easily." Gan Ning stood on the top of the mountain and said with some emotion.
Two years ago today, Moncomb arrived at Ceylon Island with a large force. When he started large-scale construction on Ceylon Island, Gan Ning realized that the situation was not good.
After all, Gan Ning seems to be a second-rate person, but as a serious and wealthy person in Shu County, his education is also first-class. Gan Ning has everything he should have in terms of overall situation and strategic analysis.
Weaker than ordinary advisers, Gan Ning noticed the change in the strategic situation when Mengkamp led his troops not to withdraw to the west of the Indian Ocean, but to stay on the island of Ceylon.
At that time, Gan Ning was worried that Ceylon Island would become a bloodletting point for the late Han Dynasty, and had been thinking about how to take it back. This is also the reason why Gan Ning and Taishi Ci have been sitting in Kunwu Kingdom since then, because if Mengkhambu owned Ceylon Island
After taking over the Kunwu Kingdom, with the two-way support of land and sea, the Han Dynasty would have to spend too much effort to regain the strategic advantage.
I just didn't expect that just two years later, the Han Dynasty had successfully seized the Kuishang's flaw and reversed the previous naval situation in one fell swoop.
"I'm afraid the Governor is not dead." Lu Xun said to Gan Ning with a deep expression on his face.
The fact that Gal'an lasted for eight days was indeed beyond Lu Xun's expectations. The opponent relied on the mountains and terrain to resist, and the resistance was very powerful. Although it did not cause much damage to the Han Dynasty, it did win a considerable amount of victory.
time.
During this period, Lu Xun worried several times that Meng Combo would lead his army back. Although Gan Ning led the seventh-generation ship, even if Meng Combo came back, he might not be able to recapture Ceylon Island. But if Meng Combo withdrew, what would happen to the current situation?
As far as the situation is concerned, it is full of twists and turns.
More importantly, Lu Xun actually understood Gan Ning's words, that is, Meng Kangbu's strength should not be underestimated. Even if Gan Ning had a seventh-generation ship, there was no guarantee that he could win Meng Kangbu. So Meng Kang
Bu withdrew the fleet, and if nothing else, there was no problem in taking Gal'an away. However, Gal'an's performance was a bit ruthless, but he lasted in this situation for eight days!
Even if he hadn't realized the nature of the matter, Gal'an would have been able to hold on for another day and a half. However, the fact that Meng Combo didn't come made Gal'an no longer necessary to hold on.
"Ah?" Gan Ning turned his head and looked at Lu Xun with a puzzled look on his face. The governor is still alive. What are you talking about? How is that possible? Isn't that completely dead?
"When we appeared on the Island of Ceylon, the Ceylon defenders must have found a way to contact Meng Combo, and Meng Combo would definitely rush back after receiving the news. He still has not rushed back, except for being trapped in Malacca.
If he can't come back after being entangled, there is another possibility that he gave up here. Both of these possibilities mean that Mengcomb has met his opponent." Lu Xun sighed, his expression extremely complicated.
Gan Ning was silent for a while after hearing this, and then the sweat on his forehead oozed out. Damn, it makes sense. According to this logic, Zhou Yu is indeed not dead!
These days, there are only two inhuman beings in the world. One is called Zhou Yu and the other is Meng Kangbu. Now that Meng Kangbu is leading the main force of the brigade to attack, I am afraid that only the dead Zhou Yu can entangle them.
live.
"Well, what you said makes sense." Gan Ning said with a bit of confusion.
"This is not a question of whether it makes sense or not. This is a question of something big happening. Uncle, can you handle this?" Lu Xun climbed up quickly along the pole. At this time, he can't call him a general. He must be his uncle. You
But my biological father’s brother is my godfather!
"The thing has been done, so don't think about it." Gan Ning was still entangled, but this complicated look only lasted for a few seconds, and then he patted Lu Xun's back casually and said, "Don't make plans.
Tell me, the chief of the navy, do you blame me? Damn it, I am the boss of the navy. In terms of rank, Zhou Yu’s governor of the four seas is half a level lower than me."
Gan Ning's rank is actually higher than Zhou Yu's, but rank is not worth mentioning in the face of ability. Even in later generations, there will be many high-ranking guys who say things like farts. They can neither represent the government nor the unit, or even
They can't even represent themselves. Instead, they are some low-key people who appear to be inconspicuous, but they can nail it with spit and spit. This is the difference in ability.
Gan Ning, the navy chief, was basically useless in the past few years. To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu completely overshadowed Gan Ning. Gan Ning was indeed powerless in this regard. Moreover, Gan Ning could not do this for himself in this kind of imperial competition.
, the lives of the soldiers were not regarded as lives, and the interests of the country were casually abandoned. Therefore, in the past few years, Zhou Yu had been the one who took the lead in fighting against Kushan, while Gan Ning was the supervisor of the army, recording losses and gains.
The two sides are relatively harmonious, but this harmony is actually entirely due to Gan Ning's sacrifice for the overall situation. Chen Xi has no good solution to this situation. If Gan Ning had Meng Kangbu's ability,
With Chen Xi behind to transfuse blood, it would be okay to ride on Zhou Yu's neck. But Gan Ning's naval command ability is still an advantage to others, but to Zhou Yu...
Wherever it comes from, it's okay to go back to it. Don't cause trouble, it will be good for everyone.
Therefore, in the past few years, Gan Ning, who was theoretically on the same level as the naval commander-in-chief of Gao Zhouyu, was actually a puppet in the naval system.
By the way, if Zhou Yu continues like this, the seventh-generation ship will have to be lent to Zhou Yu after Gan Ning takes it over. Of course, it is still nominally Gan Ning's flagship, but it will be driven by Zhou Yu, just like the one back then.
Like the Xingba, it was actually Zhou Yu's flagship for a long time.
After all, the Han Dynasty's navy did not have an absolute advantage. At this time, Zhou Yu was still needed as the commander-in-chief to provide strength.
"That is to say?" Lu Xun looked at Gan Ning with a serious look on his face.
"Whatever, he didn't tell me that there was something wrong with my strategy of maximizing profits?" Gan Ning said calmly, "Don't think about these things. We won't go to Malacca anymore, we will reorganize the Han Dynasty here.
Indian Ocean Naval Base, from now on you will serve as the naval staff officer in the East Indian Ocean. We will not go to Malacca either, just see what they say."
Gan Ning is also a ruthless person. After all, it's nonsense. After Zhou Yu's death, he really didn't regard the Jiangdong family as a human being, but the performance of the Jiangdong family was not worthy of Gan Ning's regard as a human being. What's more?
The classic tactic of changing families is to use a small advantage to put the Jiangdong family on the card table and sacrifice it as a bargaining chip to secure a great victory for the Han Empire in the future. Isn't it the right thing to do?
"I'm afraid that it won't make sense later. If the governor is really dead, there's nothing to say about what we did. The reasons are sufficient." Lu Xun sighed and said, "But if the governor is alive, then what we do will be a bit disrespectful of our allies.
Politically, he is relatively passive."
"That's simple, I believe the governor is alive." Gan Ning curled his lips and said.
A question mark appeared directly on Lu Xun's head. Are you acting recklessly? How can you do this?
However, Gan Ning curled his lips. He was really going to answer like this if it didn't work out. He really didn't believe Jiang Dong could give an answer. Just say whether Zhou Yu survived or not. Did our cooperation work well? What do you think?
Zhou Yu is dead, I don’t think so. Only the stupid Jiangdong rats think that Zhou Yu is dead. I, Gan Ning, immediately thought that this was a fake death and a major opportunity to reverse the strategy of the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Navy. You actually don’t believe the governor.
wisdom!
In short, the shit basin was slapped on the heads of Jiangdong rats. When it reached a certain level, they had nothing to say and the matter was over. What do you mean I used Jiangdong as a bargaining chip? It was obvious that the governor and I had a good understanding, and then we worked together to trick him.
Die Kushan, reverse our overall strategic situation, you Jiangdong rats, you can’t speak, don’t speak!
"This seems to be possible, but..." Lu Xun looked at Gan Ning with a complicated expression and said.
"It's okay, that's it. They can't do anything to me. The only pity is that I won't have a friend like Bo Fu in the future. But Bo Fu didn't tell me that the governor was still alive. The choice I made was completely based on the overall situation of the Han Dynasty.
Let's do it." Gan Ning said with a bit of pity. Without thinking, he and Sun Ce could have a lot of fun, but it's a pity that they won't have the chance in the future.
"Then let's just use this place as a base to rebuild the Eastern Indian Ocean Naval Base?" Lu Xun looked at Gan Ning's expression and could roughly understand the complexity of his mentality.
"Yes, let's just stay here. I won't go to Malacca to see the governor. I'll just write a letter there and explain the situation. That's it." Gan Ning made up his mind. Now that the matter has come to this, let's go it alone.
, and compared to the past when he was unable to fight against Meng Kangbu, now that he has the seventh-generation ship in hand, and Li You also ordered people to start producing new seventh-generation ships before departure, he should be able to fight against Meng Kangbu on his own.
"What about the seventh-generation ship?" Lu Xun frowned and looked at Gan Ning and asked.
"What are you thinking about?" Gan Ning looked at the curved sea level in the distance with a calm expression, "At this time, do we still need to talk about this kind of thing? The seventh-generation ship belongs to me, but if the previous commander is alive,
, after I take over and verify it, I will lend it to the governor. This thing never belonged to Jiangdong."
Lu Xun nodded when he heard this. If the seventh-generation ships are still in hand, then everything is easy to say. With these navy and seventh-generation ships, it will not be a big problem to reorganize the Eastern Indian Ocean naval base based on Ceylon Island. But if the seventh-generation ships are used,
The ship was returned to Zhou Yu, and the navy returned to Malacca. So why did the Kushan fleet not get it before, and their group of people might not get it either.
"I leave this to you. You will have a very heavy task next. I will record all the gains and losses in this battle with you, and I will leave the follow-up to you." Gan Ning patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and said.
, he is very optimistic about Lu Xun, and since he is independent, many things can be easily solved.
Going back in time slightly to ten days ago, Mongkhambu successfully entered the Malacca area.
"You said this time is very dangerous?" Meng Combo looked at Gorna thoughtfully. The Kushan Empire has also assessed the situation of Gars and Kanak. After all, they have been with Han Dynasty since Yuanfeng.
They fought against each other in the Han Dynasty, and they are still active and vigorous up to now. They have faced almost all opponents in the Han Dynasty and still have no trouble. The situation of these two people is naturally worthy of in-depth study.
Therefore, when Gorna, a veteran of the Gars Legion, came to report to Moncomb, Moncomb not only did not take it lightly, but began to think carefully about which link might have gone wrong.
This kind of thinking sounds difficult, but people have already entered Malacca, and Meng Kangbu also knows how powerful the Han navy is. Therefore, in Meng Kangbu's judgment, either Zhou Yu is alive, or the Han navy is alive.
Seventh-generation ships are particularly brutal, and as for other ships, they are basically impossible.
"It seems that Zhou Yu is cheating to die." Mengkangbu sighed and motioned for Gorna to rest first, and he would just find a way to deal with Zhou Yu.
"Ni Jiaye, half-activate the self-circulation, we may have to face Zhou Yu." After Mengkangbu sent Gorna away, he called Ni Jiaye over, and when Ni Jiaye heard this, everyone was stunned.
Numb.
"The matter has come to this, and it is impossible to retreat. If we retreat at this point, the prestige of our Kushan Navy will be lost in one day. Let's have a fight. After the fight, we can determine Zhou Yu's condition, and then retreat."
Mengkangbu ordered to Nijiaye, "Go and notify the captains of each department and let them be prepared. The next war will not be easy to fight. After all, it is Zhou Yu."
At the naval camp in Malacca, after Cai Mao saw the living Zhou Yu, his heart that was already in his throat finally calmed down. Zhou Yu is not dead, so there is still hope for everything. Even if his subordinates are all newbies, it is better than Zhou Yu dying.
