Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6624 No, this is a strategy!

After a brief discussion with Zhou Yu, Chen Xi seemed to be slightly affected by the dream and began to hear sounds from the outside world. Of course, it was mainly because Chen Yu kept saying that if Chen Xi didn't wake up, they would run away to have lunch.

"No one can touch my lunch!" Chen Xi woke up in anger, and then saw Cai Yan, Chen Yu and Cai Chen standing by the bed looking at him. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"Zichuan, sometimes I really think you need to be more mature." Cai Yan looked at Chen Xi and said tiredly, "But, let's eat first. No one will steal your lunch."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi chuckled twice, quickly got up from the bed, went out to wash his face, and took his child to eat.

In fact, it was not until Chen Xi finished his meal that the palace guards from the Executive Yuan found Cai Yan's house. After all, they went to Chen's house first and received news that Chen Xi had taken his son to Baqiao to catch fish. Then they ran all the way to Baqiao and searched everywhere. They realized that Chen Xi and Chen Yu had not been there at all. The palace guards quickly realized where Chen Xi might be.

"Oh, call me for a meeting. Okay." Chen Xi, who had just finished his meal and was preparing to find a place to walk around to avoid indigestion, followed the notice from the palace guards. When Chen Xi arrived at the Government Office, all the people in the government office were already there.

"You all came in such a large group. Have you had lunch?" Chen Xi was thick-skinned and didn't take the attention of everyone present seriously at all. He walked in while talking casually and sat down when he found his seat.

"It's already this late, of course we have to eat lunch." Guo Jia scolded with a smile, "The kitchen is serving one of the emperor's eight delicacies today, you're missing out if you don't come to eat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi didn't even bother to pay attention to Guo Jia. It was one of the Eight Delicacies of the Emperor. To be honest, among the Eight Delicacies of the Emperor, only the braised pork rice did not need to be improved. The others were all professionally improved, otherwise Chen Xi would not be able to get used to it. Could there be anyone who really thought that the Eight Delicacies of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty were delicious?

"Speaking of which, what happened when you gathered together? Was Zhou Gongjin assassinated?" Chen Xi asked casually, and then without waiting for others to answer, he gave his answer first. Everyone present looked at each other in surprise when they heard it.

"Uh, you already know?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in surprise and said. They had just received the confirmed news, but they didn't expect that Chen Xi already knew it.

Chen Xi waved to Yuan Yin, and Yuan Yin quickly left with the clerks and chief clerks of the government office, leaving only the top leaders behind. He then closed the door of the government office and activated a special secret technique to prevent anyone from spying.

"Zhou Gongjin was stabbed to death. He just contacted me in his dream. He is barely stable now, but he is really dead." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Wenhe, Kongming, Zizhong, give Donglai Shipyard a new target this year and ask them to build two more seventh-generation ships."

Zhou Yu said it very clearly when he entered the dream before, that the seventh-generation ships do not have an overwhelming advantage, especially when there is a gap in commanders. Even if Meng Kangbu cannot defeat the enemy, he can still delay time by relying on the fortress. Therefore, his shortcomings in some aspects are even more serious than Zhou Yu.

Chen Xi felt that what Zhou Yu said was very right, so he decided to build a few more ships to solve the problem. It did not require repeated verification of technology like in previous years. Now the real seventh-generation ships have begun trial operation. Technically speaking, all technical problems have basically been solved.

It takes many years from design to construction. Now that the technology has been accumulated and professional craftsmen have been trained, the construction of the seventh-generation ships is more of a matter of replication. There may be optimization during this period, but overall, the seventh-generation ships are completely different from the previous ones that required years of research and manufacturing.

For the Han Dynasty, the current seventh-generation ships are imperial toys that can be put on the production line and built by professional craftsmen as long as they give the nod.

It may take two years to launch it, but it doesn't matter. The Han Dynasty could not produce a Zhou Yu in two years, but it could produce two seventh-generation ships. One seventh-generation ship is equivalent to one Zhou Yu, and two ships are at least equivalent to one and a half, right? Fortification of Ceylon would be very troublesome in such a critical position, but no matter how troublesome it is, it would only delay time, and it could only delay a fleet led by a seventh-generation ship.

In that case, why not build two more ships? It's not that they can't be built. They didn't do so before because the technical route was still being verified, and Chen Xi didn't know whether it could be built. Now the finished product has appeared, the technical route has been verified, and the road has been paved. Under the leadership of several top craftsmen, a huge number of master craftsmen are on the front line, leading the skilled workers accumulated from the previous round, which is enough to make a mature imitation of the seventh-generation ship.

Over the years, Chen Xi has used the Donglai Shipyard as an industrial mother machine, cultivating a large number of skilled workers and various high-end craftsmen. These human resources are the core of replicating the seventh-generation ship. Unlike the early years when a little bit of verification was required, now as long as the manpower is in place, work can start.

"That means Governor Zhou is really fallen." Fa Zheng said with a serious expression. With Zhou Yu, one seventh-generation ship would be enough, but now Chen Xi is actually going to start the construction line of two more seventh-generation ships. What this means is self-evident.

"How to describe it? Gongjin engraved his name on the List of Gods, and then was assassinated. Although he is not dead yet, the God's Land expressed that it really needs such a heavyweight pillar, and Gongjin himself did not resist, so it became like this. He almost died. Now he can be saved, but from my perspective, the situation is not good." Chen Xi said very seriously.

Although Zhou Yu said it was easy, as long as he sent the corpse over, he would perform the divine descent on himself, and then rely on external forces to directly escape from Fuso, but in Chen Xi's opinion, this matter was very difficult. Zhou Yu was deeply trapped in the web, and his state was not completely in a spiritual state. The divine position was both a protection and a restraint for Zhou Yu.

Chen Xi estimated that it would not be a big problem to perform the God's Descent in Fuso, but how Zhou Yu would get out of Fuso after the God's Descent was a big problem. Although Zhou Yu said that as long as Chen Xi suppressed the God's Descent, he could find a way to escape, but for Zhou Yu who had become half a pillar, it was definitely not that easy to escape.

What's more, Chen Xi in his previous state could actually see the cause and effect line entangled in Zhou Yu to some extent. Of course, Chen Xi estimated that Zhou Yu could also feel this cause and effect line. This cause and effect of borrowing the throne of God, destroying the throne of God, and then killing Celian was almost the reason for Jiangdong's current rise. Therefore, it was not as simple as Zhou Yu said to untie this bondage.

Of course, Chen Xi didn't think that Zhou Yu was completely unable to solve the problem. As long as there were rules, there would definitely be loopholes. With Zhou Yu's ability, if he wanted to exploit the loopholes, Shenxiang would definitely not be able to defend against it. But after doing so, based on Chen Xi's understanding of the rules, it was basically like drinking poison to quench thirst.

So if Zhou Yu really wants to do this, the follow-up will be a hassle, so Chen Xi also has to make preparations early just in case.

Besides, as Zhou Yu said, both he and the seventh-generation ships have a shortcoming, and the core of this shortcoming is actually losing sight of one thing while focusing on another. In this case, why not build a few more seventh-generation ships? After all, for Chen Xi, Zhou Yu cannot build a few, but he can really build a seventh-generation ship.

"Is that so? How did the assassination happen? Considering Zhou Yu's situation, it shouldn't have happened this way." Jia Xu frowned and looked at Chen Xi and asked. As for the construction of the seventh-generation ships, he had no questions to ask. As long as the budget was sufficient and the maintenance personnel were in place, then building two more seventh-generation ships would be acceptable to Jia Xu.

The only thing that Jia Xu couldn't understand now was why Zhou Yu was assassinated. What was going on? If a big shot of Zhou Yu's level could be assassinated, then have I been in danger without knowing it? This is too scary!

Chen Xi recounted with a dark face why Zhou Yu was assassinated. Everyone present twitched their faces after listening to him. This was too outrageous. It turned out that you guys were acting, faking your death, but ended up dying for real. This was too embarrassing.

"I now feel that our Han Dynasty is somewhat like a funny character, and the Roman Empire is also like this character. Among the three empires, the most reliable one seems to be the Kushan Empire." Fa Zheng said with a hint of despair on his face. He was not talking nonsense, but he really felt that way.

After all, almost all world disasters were related to Rome, and all the embarrassing scenes were caused by the Han Empire. Only the Kushan Empire was conscientiously considering war.

"Don't say that. It makes me uncomfortable." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Anyway, the current situation is that the governor is doomed. He can't be saved in a short time. We have to wait for a while."

"How about leaving Sun Bofu in Chang'an first?" Liu Bei said calmly. Zhou Yu to Sun Ce was the same as Guan Yu to Liu Bei. Just imagine if Guan Yu was assassinated one day, Liu Bei would go crazy and the rats in Jiangdong would probably be chopped into pieces by Sun Ce.

"Let's buy time for this and don't let Sun Bofu know about it yet. The fighting in Northern Europe is still going on, so just delay it for now. The later we find out, the better. Gongjin has another plan." Chen Xi informed everyone present of Zhou Yu's plan. Everyone, including Zhuge Liang, was stunned.

"Are you sure that the assassination of Governor Zhou was an accident?" Fa Zheng asked after a long while after listening to Chen Xi's story. "Why do I feel like Governor Zhou has been waiting for this opportunity, and now he has finally got the chance to use this plan?"

"I have the same feeling. This plan not only solves all the internal problems of Jiangdong, but also solves the biggest external pressure. And if we are lucky enough, we may be able to let Zhou Yu wipe out most of the Kushan navy, just like Meng Kangbu wiped out the Han navy before. In this way, the arrangement of Ceylon Island will be completely meaningless." Jia Xu frowned and asked Chen Xi.

In fact, there is another problem that was also solved, but it is not convenient to talk about it here. That is the threat faced by the Kou family's fiefdom and its subsequent development, which have been fully resolved this time.

Without a Kushan navy of sufficient size, Zhou Yu would be able to take over Ceylon in a very short time and then hand it over to Kou Feng. As Kou Feng had the ability to build ships, they took control of Ceylon, which the Kushan had worked so hard to fortify, eliminated external threats, and gained a strategic support point. All that Meng Kangbu had enjoyed before fell on Kou Feng.

Moreover, with the fortified Ceylon, Kou's territory has an extra frontline fulcrum. Even if someone wants to cause trouble in the future, they can rely on this unbreakable battleship to hold out for a while. Just like what Zhou Yu said before, relying on Ceylon, they can annoy you for a year or two without fighting with you.

To some extent, Zhou Yu had fulfilled his promise to the Kou family. Even if he was willing to spend more time to connect the Adam Bridge with a floating bridge, the risk resistance of Kunwu Kingdom would be greatly improved.

If Kou Feng were to level up well during this period, everything that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had promised Kou Feng would come true.

This level of calculation is no longer a matter of killing two birds with one stone, but rather it is about overturning the chessboard and creating a new situation. To say that Zhou Yu came up with such a plan on the spur of the moment is simply nonsense. It requires a lot of time to analyze the strategies and tactics before it can be made.

"The assassination was definitely an accident, but the subsequent plan should have been planned before, but we just didn't find the space to implement it. Now we finally found it." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.

"Of course, I think you should regard this plan as a desperate attempt by Zhou Gongjin to avoid embarrassment to the whole world." Chen Xi said with a smile, "After all, as a world-renowned commander of a large army, it is too embarrassing to be accidentally assassinated by an enemy country. Even Caesar was assassinated by his own people. This was done by an outsider. The degree of embarrassment is too outrageous. If he doesn't whitewash it, he will probably be put on the pillar of shame."

Chen Xi was obviously a little sad when he said this. It was really too outrageous that a great figure like Zhou Yu was assassinated. It was so outrageous that Chen Xi didn't know how to respond when he heard Zhou Yu say that he was assassinated. In short, if this matter was based on facts and not distorted in history books, Zhou Yu would have been one of the negative examples for military strategists in the future.

Let’s put aside the issue of military achievements. People all like to have fun. Just like the number of people in the world who can clearly remember how many classic battles Caesar fought is not too many, but there are quite a few who know that Caesar was assassinated in the Senate.

Therefore, in Chen Xi's opinion, Zhou Yu's desperate efforts to show off his advantages, wanting to win the resurrection match, and even forcing his way out of the Fuso Divine Land, were all to prove that his assassination was not an accident, but a result of his own calculation.

Even when Rajukhra came into the water, it was the same. Only by successfully calculating and severely damaging the Kushan Navy and completely destroying the opponent's strategy could he prove that he was not assassinated accidentally, but was a planned and prepared fake death.

As for why he had to plot against Zhu Helai and inflict heavy damage on the Kushan navy, there was no other way. Zhou Yu's status was actually a bit too high. He even managed to die in an assassination attempt, but in the end he only plotted against a loser. That would be hilarious. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had actually let the situation slip.

Therefore, he had to act dignified and not embarrass himself. He had to use all his abilities and frantically imply that he had set up the trap with his own body in order to defeat the Kushans and lay the foundation for the great cause of the empire. Only in this way could he prove that his assassination was actually a premeditated calculation on his part.

After all, only in this way can you prove that you have not brought shame upon yourself, and only in this way can you record it as a positive case in history books and in the battle records of military strategists. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined.

"You are too direct." Li You looked at Chen Xi and said unhappily, "Thank goodness Zhou Gongjin is not here. If he were here, he would have fought with you."

"Anyway, I feel that this is the fact. Compared to things like not saying it in a roundabout way, I think it's better to say what you want to say." Chen Xi said with a smile, and then looked at Fa Zheng, "Xiaozhi, although I think this is a plan that Zhou Yu came up with in his last struggle to ensure his fame, I will not deny the feasibility of this plan, so..."

"No problem, leave the follow-up to me. I will try my best to perfect it and let Zhu Helai deduce all the facts himself." Fa Zheng nodded when he heard it. He would never let go of the opportunity to design Zhu Helai. After all, up to now, that guy really didn't make any major strategic mistakes, and this time, what Zhou Yu said was actually very right.

"Well, I'll leave it to you, but don't do too much." Chen Xi advised Fa Zheng, "As I said before, I hope everything goes well. I don't know what the situation is like in Jiangdong now that Zhou Yu's people are gone."

"Jiangdong has exploded. Zhuge Ziyu has sent the video recording and described the current situation in Jiangdong. After Zhou Yu was assassinated, all the Jiangdong families have been engaged in self-examination and rapid separation." Liu Bei said with a somewhat teasing tone.

"Self-examination and cutting? Oh, are you sure the assassin is from Kushan?" Chen Xi asked Liu Bei. Although he and Zhou Yu had their estimates, after all, the Han Empire did not have a high-grade veteran who dared to assassinate Zhou Yu. Everyone is not a fool, but some things should be confirmed.

"It should be. There are five veterans, and I don't recognize any of them. This is impossible." Liu Bei nodded. He watched the video. Although he couldn't tell the race at all, if Liu Bei didn't recognize them, they were definitely not veterans of the Han Dynasty. They couldn't be from the Yuan family!

At the beginning of the month, those who have tickets please vote. I feel that the author is really finished. It's miserable.
