Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6623 Ah, I'm dead

Both Chen Xi and Zhou Yu have confidence in Pang Tong's abilities. The other party has had little presence for so many years, mostly because he was hindered by some outrageous internal affairs in Jiangdong. If we really talk about ability, he has no problem replacing Zhou Yu.

"By the way, didn't you have any foresight about your assassination?" Chen Xi asked with some curiosity. In Chen Xi's opinion, Zhou Yu's assassination was really outrageous. Normally, the security at this level should be very complete. It was really embarrassing that Zhou Yu was assassinated so suddenly.

"Although I don't want to answer, I can tell you since you asked." Zhou Yu said tiredly, "Generally speaking, there are three reasons. One is the spy left by the Kushan Navy in Sumatra. The other is the spy secret screening issue you notified me of before. The last one is also the most important. I neglected it myself."

The Kushan Navy's spies have always existed, but they are not fatal. After all, it has been so long. These spy networks have been destroyed by Zhou Yu and others. The only ones left are scattered deep divers who are difficult to contact.

As for the secret techniques of espionage, it would be fine if we didn't know about this kind of thing. Since we know that it exists, there are naturally ways to screen it out. Even Pang Hong, as far as we can see now, was caught by the new extreme princess party after the last round of screening and had the secret techniques forcibly implanted in him.

Therefore, if we really have to say the reason, it was more of Zhou Yu's own mistake. If he hadn't adjusted the structure of his guards, it would have been basically impossible for three six-fold smelted Kushan veterans to kill him. The talent of directly stepping into the air is rare, but is it possible that Zhou Yu really doesn't have it?
"So the problem is all on you. What are you going to do now?" After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Chen Xi roughly understood the situation. Compared with the previous two reasons, the last one is the fatal flaw. But when you think about it, it makes sense. It has reached this level. Only if you make a mistake will a big thing happen. If you don't make any mistakes, even if it's tragic, you won't die suddenly.

"Pretend to be dead. Since I'm already dead, I'll just keep acting. After I'm dead, Jiangdong can conduct unlimited screening and all the rules that needed to be considered before can be directly trampled upon. Under the advancement of violence, many things that were previously unsolvable can now be solved at once." Zhou Yu made a quick judgment. Now that things have come to this, he should choose the most suitable route first.

"Then I have to ask another question about what I said before. Do we need to retaliate?" Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu seriously and asked.

"Of course that's not necessary!" Zhou Yu said with a dark face, but then he realized what Chen Xi was talking about revenge, and he couldn't help but lower his head in thought.

"Do you need to spend so much time considering something like this?" Chen Xi frowned and looked at Zhou Yu.

"I wonder what I can get out of this." Zhou Yu said unhappily, "Although it is shameful to be assassinated as the commander of a large army, at this critical juncture, it is not worth it to put the blame on Vasudeva I first, and the other party will have to find a way to clean up. "

The details and reasons for Zhou Yu's assassination can certainly be clearly verified at the level of the three empires, but no matter whether you are an extreme princess party or not, just say whether you are Kushans!

This is the shit pot, and at this point, the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire are in a truce stage. During this stage, Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty's large army, admiral of the navy, and governor of the four seas, was assassinated by Kushan assassins. This is already a major diplomatic incident.

"I guess they will give you something to send you away. Even if the Han Dynasty is behind Jiangdong, there is no good excuse for this matter." Chen Xi sighed and said. It was really embarrassing that Zhou Yu was assassinated. A few immortal veterans formed a group to kill the pillar of the Han Dynasty's navy. I don't know what Huangfu Song thinks. Anyway, the Romans will probably laugh to death when they receive the news.

"After Rome contributed a lot of world disasters, our Han Dynasty contributed a lot of jokes. I am convinced." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu helplessly and said, what kind of weird operation is this.

"Let's take a gamble and see if the other party will start a war." Zhou Yu slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Xi and said.

"Ah?" Chen Xi was stunned when he heard that, then lowered his head to think.

Although it is quite unbelievable, if you think about it carefully, the current situation is actually the best opportunity for the Kushans to turn the tables. Even if this behavior is considered to be breaking the alliance and not caring about the face of the empire, the alliance was prepared to be torn up from the beginning.

“Although it’s a bit exaggerated, my presence has suppressed the Kushans’ aggressiveness in naval warfare to a great extent. All the well-known naval officers of the Kushans combined are not sure of defeating me. This is the reason why the navy is now at a disadvantage and the other side has not made full efforts to advance.” Zhou Yu said confidently.

"Your confidence really makes me want to laugh. That was before, the seventh-generation ship was on sea trial. Although you were invited to go over, you said you had something to do and refused, but the detailed report on the seventh-generation ship should have been delivered to you." Chen Xi said to Zhou Yu with some sarcasm.

"The seventh-generation ships are worthy of being the national treasure. All parameters completely crush the fleet groups of the previous generation. But, Zichuan, do you think the Kushans know about the existence of the seventh-generation ships?" Zhou Yu remained indifferent to Chen Xi's ridicule and asked without any dissatisfaction.

"They definitely know. During the previous large-scale screening, even in Donglai, people related to the shipbuilding industry were screened out and found to be affected by the spy secrets. So they definitely know, but can they solve it just by knowing it?" Chen Xi said calmly. At this point, it was impossible for the seventh-generation ships to conceal it. The Kushans definitely knew, but knowing it didn't mean they could solve it.

"Well, Zichuan, if Moncombe fortifies Ceylon as a ship that will never fall, how long will it take you to take it down?" Zhou Yu restrained the smile on his face and asked with a serious look.

"Ceylon Island, fortification?" Chen Xi pressed his brows. Isn't this the idea of ​​fortifying Yizhou to disgust the University of Tokyo?
"Can the Kushans fortify Ceylon so quickly?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, but I know that when Gan Xingba was squatting in Kunwu Kingdom, Meng Kangbu kept transporting various etched piles to Ceylon Island." Zhou Yu said calmly, "It may take a long time to completely complete the fortification, but at least the direction and idea of ​​fortification are very clear."

"You just let them do this?" Chen Xi said unhappily.

"The navy suffered heavy losses before, and I don't have the energy to deal with the enemy. What can I do? I don't have any good ideas." Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Although there are plans, they are long-term plans, and they are not plans to attack Ceylon."

Seeing that the smile on Chen Xi's face gradually faded, Zhou Yu stopped exerting pressure and instead expressed his own judgment, "In fact, according to my estimation, Moncomb fortified Ceylon Island in preparation for using it as a springboard. On the one hand, he wanted to suppress the Wenjia region by sea, and on the other hand, he should also be on guard against me."

Chen Xi lowered his head and thought, then nodded after a long while. As for the situation in Southeast Asia, Chen Xi had always taken a laissez-faire attitude and had not paid too much attention to it. However, if Zhou Yu explained the strategic situation of a certain region in detail, Chen Xi could still respond.

"The seventh-generation ship can take on your previous mission." Chen Xi said after a little thought.

"It's very difficult. It's difficult for me to conquer Ceylon with conventional means, and it's also difficult with the seventh-generation ships." Zhou Yu said calmly, "The seventh-generation ships are really strong, stronger than the entire fleet I lead in self-circulation, but with my full manpower and fleet, the seventh-generation ships do not have a crushing advantage. I can only say that they can win, but if you want to crush me, you have to at least find Montcomb on the seventh-generation ship."

Chen Xi pressed his temple. Although he wanted to refute, if he thought about it carefully, what Zhou Yu said was not nonsense.

"And there is another very important point. The seventh-generation ship is just a ship. When the captains' levels are the same, the captain of the seventh-generation ship has the ability to crush those of the same level. But why does the Kushan want to fight a decisive battle with you?" Zhou Yu spread his hands and said the most core point.

"If he doesn't fight a decisive battle with me, I will just attack their important targets along the coast. After all, the seventh-generation ships can withstand land-based artillery." Chen Xi said indifferently.

"You can do it, but if your Seventh Generation Ships leave, the Kushan fleet can also attack here!" Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Before, the Kushan fleet was in the south, but now they can be in Ceylon. Of course, you can let your Seventh Generation Ships chase the Kushan fleet and circle around Ceylon."

Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard this. Although Ceylon Island is just a small spot on the world map, in reality, if you circle around it, the length of the coastline is more than a thousand kilometers. If the Kushan fleet really does this, the seventh-generation ships will definitely win, but the opponent will not fight a decisive battle. If the seventh-generation ships leave, they will take the fleet to Wenga to disgust them. If the seventh-generation ships do not leave, they will take the seventh-generation ships and circle around Ceylon Island.

If you have the ability, you can use the seventh-generation ships to blow up the entire Ceylon Island!
"How did you discover and determine that Meng Kangbu would do this? I've never seen him do this before." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

"It's because of the rain." Zhou Yu sighed and said, "The rain in the rainy season allows Wenjia to sail directly. Meng Kangbu didn't do it before because it was too troublesome to tow the boat from Mingnagara, so he couldn't do it even if he wanted to. After all, there is a difference between a sea ship and a flat-bottomed boat."

"After occupying Ceylon, although Moncombe cannot build large ships relying on Ceylon, he can still build ships of the same level as chariots and battleships. Moreover, if they are only used temporarily, they are actually enough." Zhou Yu said somewhat helplessly.

Why is Ceylon considered a strategic support point? Isn’t it because after occupying this place, many of Montcombe’s tactics have a basis.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Meng Kangbu seized the opportunity during the rainy season and relied on a fleet of boats and warships to directly enter the former land would have a great impact on the Han Dynasty.

As I said, Meng Kangbu is really good at fighting on the water. After getting on the boat, even Zhou Yu had to bring enough people and use some effort to get rid of Meng Kangbu. Without Zhou Yu, no one could expect a super battleship like the seventh-generation ship to enter shallow waters.

"Indeed, the idea of ​​circling around Ceylon Island is actually annoying the seventh-generation ships, right?" Chen Xi nodded. No matter how invincible the seventh-generation ships are, they can only be used on the sea. If the enemy runs to the shallow water area and you can't drive through, it will be a problem.

"From the perspective of suppressing the Kushan navy, the seventh-generation ships can also play this role without me. However, there is a problem with both the seventh-generation ships and me alone. That is, it is difficult to take both into account when Moncomb owns Ceylon. The solution I prepared before is to bypass Ceylon during the dry season and attack southern Kushan after accumulating enough navy." Zhou Yu directly told Chen Xi his ideas.

"Indeed." Chen Xi nodded silently, completely accepting Zhou Yu's logic. It's not that the seventh-generation ships are not powerful enough, but that the seventh-generation ships have to be on the sea. Meng Kangbu concentrated the ships in shallow water areas. No matter how strong the seventh-generation ships are in combat capability, they will be helpless.

Once in shallow water, the Han navy would certainly not be able to defeat Meng Kangbu. All they needed to do was retain their strength to continue posing a threat to the Han Dynasty.

"So I'm thinking, can I let Meng Kangbu take the initiative to attack?" Zhou Yu said with a thoughtful look, "After all, after I die, the current stage when the seventh-generation warship has not yet completed the debugging is the best opportunity for the Kushan Empire. If Meng Kangbu can win this battle, the seventh-generation warship will hardly pose a threat to the Kushan Empire. After all, if he wins, these straits will be in Meng Kangbu's hands. The seventh-generation warship cannot enter the Indian Ocean, so it's useless to say anything."

"It's very difficult." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Meng Kangbu is not stupid. If you lose this bet and you survive, the Kushans will lose both face and substance, and also lose the biggest card in their hand. Even if they can withdraw alive and occupy Ceylon, the opportunity they finally seized and the strategic advantage they had before will all be reversed."

This plan sounds good, but from Chen Xi's point of view, the Kushans have put too much on this gamble. On the one hand, they have torn up the armistice agreement, on the other hand, they have assumed the responsibility of assassinating a political leader like Zhou Yu during the armistice, and on the other hand, they have also gambled on the only card they currently have an advantage over. The result of the victory is only to retake the Malacca region and reverse the strategy to the period when Celian was still alive.

The problem is that when Celian was alive, the Han Dynasty did not have the seventh-generation ships. Now that the Han Dynasty has the seventh-generation ships, Meng Kangbu has not reached Celian's level. Therefore, even if he sets foot on Malacca again, he can only avoid the attack of the Han Dynasty's seventh-generation ships on the Kushan. From the perspective of the battle situation, apart from the boost in morale, there seems to be no change.

"Yes, if it was Montcomb, it would probably not happen, but Montcomb is not just one person, and the navy is not an independent entity." Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi quietly.

"Are you plotting against Zhu Helai?" Chen Xi frowned, "That guy is not easy to plot against."

"It can't be said that it's difficult to plot, but it's impossible to plot with normal methods." Zhou Yu sneered, "But there is one situation where Zhu Helai will definitely be plotted against."

"What's going on?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and asked with some curiosity.

"That is the information Zhu Helai has discovered with his own ability." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "I am dead. This is an indisputable fact. I believe that the discovery ability of the Kushan secret technique can definitely verify this. Especially since we have deliberately blocked and forged information with all our strength, the Kushan will definitely be able to discover the news that I was assassinated and died."

"Deception of information intelligence is another core of strategy and tactics." Zhou Yu said with absolute confidence, "Zhu Helai will definitely be able to find out. I believe in his ability, especially since we have blocked it very tightly and created a lot of false information. Zhu Helai will definitely find out. This is the instinct of a wise man. Intelligence is the support of wisdom."

If the news is disclosed directly and discussed openly, Zhu Helai will pay attention to it for a while and then stop paying attention to it. However, if there is an intelligence black box that affects major strategies, Zhu Helai will definitely investigate it. Considering that the other party must have special secret techniques to crack the black box, it will be like having a hammer in hand and he will definitely hit it.

The credibility of the answer you knock out with a hammer yourself is bound to be much higher than the answers obtained from other channels. If this answer happens to be used for layout, then even if it requires some resources, the person who obtains the answer will be willing to invest a hand. They don't ask for more money, as long as they can use this information without losing money.

"From a certain perspective, this idea is really in line with human nature." Chen Xi said with a dark face. Even Chen Xi had to admit that if he had obtained the information with such difficulty, he would definitely find a chance to use this information later.

Not to mention that making good use of this intelligence can also create a strategic advantage. Even if you get nothing after using this intelligence, you should still feel good about yourself just because you worked so hard to get it.

"So it doesn't matter whether Meng Kangbu approves or not. Zhu Helai will most likely approve because I'm really dead." Zhou Yu pointed at himself expressionlessly and said, "Of course Zhu Helai will also consider whether I will be resurrected and continue to gather intelligence, but I really didn't prepare a plan for resurrection. This was purely an accident. Of course, being assassinated and killed was also a pure accident. It's also an accident that I can seize the opportunity to be resurrected now."

Chen Xi nodded repeatedly. This was indeed a good opportunity to trick the Kushans. Moreover, if the Kushans took action first, the Han Dynasty could continue to maintain its image morally.

"So, the subsequent design is left to you. I'm dead." Zhou Yu gestured twice and said.

"No problem, I'll ask Xiaozhi and the others to make a plan when the time comes." Chen Xi said that this kind of bargain-hunting matter could be left to him.
