"I feel like Cai Degui is about to shed tears." Chen Xi watched this scene from a distance. Not only was he not touched, but he found it a bit funny.
"Because General Cai is also under a lot of pressure and the navy suffered heavy losses, which caused a series of problems. Even if he is not traced to him, as long as we understand the overall situation in the Indian Ocean and the problems caused by the heavy losses of the Han Dynasty navy, Anyone with a conscience will fall into self-blame." Pang Tong said helplessly.
"At least falling into self-blame shows that he really has the country at heart." Chen Xi restrained his smile and looked at Cai Maogao. As long as his heart is still about state affairs, Chen Xi can still accept the temporary loss, and the place at the mouth of the Ganges River is Chen Xi also reviewed the first battle. If he couldn't beat him, he couldn't beat him. Then he was not an opponent of Cai Hao's level. He was here to kill Zhou Yu.
"Gong Jin, suppose that you did not go to Qunu City, but were at the mouth of the Ganges River to deal with the situation in a different place. Can you win the battle?" Chen Xi suddenly changed the topic to this aspect.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and pulled up a chair and sat down, "I have also thought about this issue. Although I really want to tell you that I will definitely win, but according to the size of the navy brought by Meng Kangbu, if you really lure me out, I guess it’s hard to win an ambush in the Bay of Bengal.”
"That is to say, strategically speaking, Meng Combo's judgment is actually correct, and it is indeed possible for you to attack, right." Chen Xi nodded after hearing this, with some understanding in his heart.
"Yes, the battle at the mouth of the Ganges River was indeed aimed at me. Mengkamp was actually fishing to lure me to attack, but I was not there." Zhou Yu said helplessly, "However, he is also taking risks, but in a war of that scale, who is not taking risks? It's just a matter of probability."
"As for the navy, I actually don't have any good suggestions. Just watch and fight, because I really don't know how to do this. The suggestions I can give are more about ships."
Chen Xi said calmly, there was nothing to deceive about Zhou Yu.
"We will solve this problem as soon as possible. After the crew arrives, we will train them into qualified navy as soon as possible, and then launch one or two attacks. First, we will curb the spread of Kushan on the east side of the Indian Ocean. But to go further, we should do something in the short term. It’s not coming.” Zhou Yu gave a clear answer directly.
In Chen Xi's opinion, it is enough that the Bay of Bengal area should not be directly threatened by the Kushan Navy. As for how to solve the problems of Moncombu and others entrenched in Ceylon Island, with Ceylon Island as the fulcrum, as of now, We can only take one step and see one step at a time.
"Bo Yan, come on." Chen Xi greeted Lu Xun, who was shouting with excitement and watching others hugging him.
"Hello General Ziming, too." Zhou Yu exhaled and greeted Zheng Du. Soon Lu Meng and Lu Xun came to Chen Xi and Zhou Yu.
"You both know each other, so I won't say much more about the introduction." Chen Xi smiled and said to Lu Meng and Lu Xun, "I guess you two have heard some rumors. Now I can tell you two that this is not a rumor. , it’s true, the next commander-in-chief of the navy will be selected from the two of you.”
"Me, me, me." Gan Ning emerged from nowhere and immediately raised his hand to report. He is a shameless person.
"Ah, Xingba, you also know why I didn't choose you." Chen Xi smiled at Gan Ning and said, not caring that Gan Ning interrupted him.
"Can't I still be strengthened?" Gan Ning argued very hard.
"What we need is a naval commander who can defeat Moncombe. You are more than enough to be a captain, and you can even command a fleet. But to command the four-ocean navy to face Moncombe, to be honest, how good do you think you are? We are sure to defeat Meng Kangbu." Chen Xi said helplessly. He gave Gan Ning many opportunities, but he couldn't joke with the lives of his soldiers. War is not a child's play.
"Alas." Gan Ning was also helpless. He was already considered an extremely reliable member of the Han navy, but there was still a clear gap between him and Meng Kangbu.
"You can serve as a partial force and attack independently, but the commander-in-chief still depends on Ziming or Boyan." Chen Xi flipped the sword from the left to the right. He had discussed this matter carefully with Liu Bei before. If he could give Gan Ning biggest
Power means being partial and attacking independently. Any more power means being irresponsible.
"Okay." Gan Ning also knew his own shortcomings, but it was still a bit of a pity. Fortunately, he was a generous person and would not be jealous because of other people's abilities.
"What you two have to do from now on is to follow me on the ship and learn to master it. I have other things to do, so it's up to you to fight." Zhou Yu said directly to Lu Meng and Lu Xun, both of whom were excellent As for the commander-in-chief, I don’t know who is more suitable.
"Master, once my father's seventh-generation ship is successful, will there really be so many tactics in naval battles?" After Chen Xi and Zhou Yu finished discussing other matters, Lu Xun seized the opportunity and asked with some doubts. , he gave up the navy because the seventh-generation ship his father was building was so powerful that Lu Xun felt that the navy had lost its meaning.
"But you can't guarantee that your future opponents will still use today's small sampans instead of seventh-generation ships of the same level as yours." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"With Kuishang's current iron production, it is impossible for seventh-generation ships to appear on the battlefield anyway." Not only did Lu Xun not eliminate his doubts, but he became even more confused.
"Who said that the enemy we will face on the battlefield in the future will only be Kushan?" Chen Xi looked sideways at Lu Xun and asked.
"But even Rome cannot have such a thing. The power of that seventh-generation ship is enough to cause a devastating blow to the fleet." Lu Xun did not understand what Chen Xi meant, or he never thought about it. Other forces will have such power.
"There is no eternal dynasty in this world, Boyan. Even if the seventh-generation ship really appears on the sea, he is not invincible, because when the first seventh-generation ship appears on the sea, the second one will also be there soon. "Yes." Chen Xi looked at Lu Xun calmly and said, "Learn more from Zhou Gongjin. You are not too young now. You need to find a way out."
Lu Xun didn't understand the first half of what he said, but he understood the second half. Indeed, the positions in the four directions of the Han Dynasty are no longer enough to be arranged. The command of the large army and the command of the non-large army are completely different concepts. After inheriting Zhou Yu's position, there is With a clear record of success, he becomes the commander of a large army. No matter which path he takes in the future, it will basically be a smooth road.
"Thank you, Master." Lu Xun bowed sincerely.
"Communicate more with Lu Ziming. You two may have to cooperate." Chen Xi said to Lu Xun with a smile. Each of his two disciples was less worried than the other, but according to Xin Xianying, it was indeed time to get married. Well, at least you have to find a suitable partner and get engaged first.
"I won't get involved in the rest of the matter. If there are any off-the-table moves or anything like that, don't worry about face. Just use whatever you should use as soon as possible." Chen Xi warned Lu Xun.
It was impossible for Chen Xi to force Lu Xun in by himself. He had already jumped in line. If he continued, it would be a clear suppression of Lu Meng. Therefore, after achieving this step, Chen Xi stopped.
But just because Chen Xi stopped, it doesn't mean that the Lu family can't intervene. What Chen Xi said to Lu Xun was to ask Lu Kang or Lu Jun to go to Jingchu to build relationships. You used to be Jiangdong's fourth surname, so you can use your network, even though those people are not very important. , but you have to show that they are important. It's not okay to be arrogant and arrogant. You have to be down-to-earth.
Lu Xun was a smart man, so he naturally understood what Chen Xi meant, and said that he would follow his grandfather back to Jiangdong to worship his ancestors and keep in touch with his distant relatives. Chen Xi showed an obvious expression of a teachable child.
On the other side, Sun Quan finally had the opportunity to communicate with his brother. In the past few days, his brother had disappeared somewhere and could not be found.
"Brother, I heard before that the situation in Jingchu is a bit out of control." After Sun Quan caught Sun Ce, he immediately expressed the biggest question in his heart.
There is nothing to say. Sun Quan can't understand at all. After receiving the news that he was going back to Jingchu, what were the people of Jingchu thinking who surrendered to him immediately? This is no longer a question of surrender or not, but a question of Jingchu. What on earth is wrong with people? To what extent does his brother have to be so rebellious that he can be trusted with integrity after letting out the news that a loser like him is coming back?
This is too outrageous.
"No, everything is fine. You just came back and gave us
Let's take care of the internal affairs. Ziyu is somewhat unable to balance the internal affairs of the Jingchu family by himself. When the time comes, you can come together and save those people who have nothing to do to cause trouble. "Sun Ce has nothing to say to Sun Quan, they are true brothers!"
"The problem is that before I went back, someone wrote to me. What policy did you implement in Jingchu? But it shouldn't be done. If it was really reversed, Gong Jin couldn't help but stop it." Sun Quan in Central Asia After being around for so many years, my survival sense is extremely sharp. I immediately turned in the boss. There is no point in hiding it from his brother, and it will easily cause losses. Let's be honest.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just cleaning up their private soldiers recently. You know the military system, and you also know the reason why our army can't fight." Sun Ce said matter-of-factly.
"That's it, I can understand it more or less." Sun Quan said that he had understood the situation. No wonder everyone wrote to him. It turned out that it was to touch the lifeblood of the Jingchu family. I can understand it. It's so understandable. It should have been done a long time ago. What kind of song system is it? It's just a flaw in the brain.
However, one thing that makes Sun Quan better than Sun Ce is that Sun Quan has quite strong political ability. Even if it is mainly balancing ability, he is also aware of some other things. For example, the Jingchu navy has just returned from a disastrous defeat, and in this kind of situation It's a bit scary to use the army's military system under such circumstances.
"Brother, did Gong Jin ask you to take away the civil and military ministers?" Sun Quan suddenly asked.
"Yes." Sun Ce hasn't realized how big the problem is yet, but even if he realizes it, people like Sun Ce won't care too much.
"That's so cruel." Sun Quan said while smacking his lips.
This is no longer a matter of strategy, but a matter of greed. Once the Jingchu family could not control their inner greed, when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led the backbone to leave, they did not disband according to the previous plan, but pretended to disband. Cai, in fact, if you perform a scene, there is a high probability that you can deceive Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who are not in Southeast Asia.
The problem is that the military system Zhou Yu wants is an instruction that the country has clearly issued and needs to be completed. If it cannot be completed, it is completely legal for Zhou Yu to use certain explosive methods. It is obvious that Zhou Yu no longer wants to continue playing with the Jingchu family.
To put it simply, the family who tried to fool Sun Ce and Zhou Yu this time would most likely die suddenly on the spot. Any favors or relationships were all nonsense this time.
Sun Quan estimated that Zhou Yu even went out of his way to publicize this matter to the major families several times, just to let them remember that if they don't complete the restructuring in accordance with the regulations and completely cut off the personal attachment of the tribe, then don't blame them for being ruthless or ruthless. .
However, after the front leg was announced, the back leg left with the manpower, as if relying on self-consciousness. How could Sun Quan not know what the Jingchu family looked like, and wouldn't he hand Zhou Yu the sword?
"Has Gong Jin received a big blow before?" Sun Quan asked with some confusion. Zhou Yu is usually not so cruel. He and Chen Xi are similar in some aspects. Because they are of high birth, they have to save face in certain things. Yes, so I won't mess around according to the rules, but now this kind of behavior is somewhat impatient and ready for surgery.
"Well, it was a big blow. Maybe it was the biggest blow in so many years, apart from facing Chen Zichuan. His mental talent has even been shaken to a certain extent." Sun Ce looked around, because it was him who personally Brother, that's why I dare to tell you this, otherwise Sun Ce would definitely hide it and not let it out at all.
For those who possess spiritual talents, spiritual talents represent the sublimation of their own knowledge, experience, and experience. In fact, this is also a reflection of their own outlook on life, world view, and values. The shaking of spiritual talents means the fundamental shaking of the individual. .
Zhou Yu experienced this level of vacillation not long ago, and it was precisely because of this vacillation that Zhou Yu dealt with it much more ruthlessly.
"No wonder, the military system has reached the point where Gong Jin has no choice but to change it?" Sun Quan thought he had understood everything, but in fact he did not. However, even if he thought wrong, he couldn't help but come to the same conclusion. Sun Quan thought that he was right.
"Well, Gong Jin really needs a strong army now, a strong army that can support him to realize a certain wish, and you know our current army." Sun Ce replied very understandingly, and he said Zhou Yu understands his thoughts very well.
"Except for the Danyang soldiers, all other armies
no. Sun Quan nodded with understanding, "But even so, it's still a bit cruel."
