Huangfu Song's lower limit as a person is very low, but one thing about Huangfu Song is extremely reliable, that is, whoever the central government supports, regardless of whether it is a wrong order or a correct order, as long as it is an order from the central government, it will be resolutely implemented.
So one second he was still thinking about whether to rush in and give the entire second company to the Hall of Heroes, and the next second Chang'an's secret message arrived, and Huangfu Song directly changed his strategy.
For Huangfu Song, the situation where the foreign emperor's orders are not accepted is just a reference. As long as the orders from Chang'an do not completely violate his logic, then they can be implemented.
As for the Nordic Hall of Valor? Just pretend that you don't know. The eldest princess from Chang'an came to stamp the jade seal and attached the official secret order signed by Liu Bei and Chen Xi. That's a hammer.
What matters about matchmaking, what is not as good as it used to be, what about the Hall of Heroes are all based on Chang'an.
Xu You went numb on the spot and had no idea what was going on. Wasn't he fine before? Why did it suddenly change? This is wrong!
"Execute the order." Huangfu Song greeted Xu You gently. Xu You glanced at Huangfu Song and went to set up the defense line without saying a word.
Yuan Tan almost wanted to speak, but Huangfu Song patted Yuan Tan's shoulder and said, I'll save my face for you. Don't talk nonsense. I'll call you Duke Zhongguo or Yehou. That's to give you face. Go down the steps. good for everyone.
Yuan Tan was also a person who had seen the world. Seeing Huangfu Song's expression, he nodded and left. After the two left, Huangfu Song carefully looked at the secret order. This was no joke. It was stamped with a jade seal, The secret order of the Taiwei to seal the letter and the Minister's servant to seal the letter is an imperial edict!
Unless you are fighting the Huns, you can ignore this thing. Otherwise, you must obey orders.
"It seems that Rome has created a big trap, right?" Huangfu Song looked at the secret order and put it away close to his body, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
In Chang'an, Chen Xi half-paralyzed and started to go to work. Guan Yu and others had returned to the Ganges River after the court meeting. The current situation there had undergone some new changes. Meng Kangbu really showed some high-end skills. Something that doesn't work.
Therefore, Guan Yu and others, who originally planned to wait until February before going to the Ganges, had no choice but to go to the Ganges in advance. There was no other way. Mengkangbu had been fighting in the imperial war for so many years, and his most famous side of the nerve sword was finally revealed. Out of the evil place.
"So, Meng Kangbu is a nerve knife?" Chen Xi looked at Gan Ning helplessly and said.
"Probably so, because when Moncombe was twenty-six years old, he blocked the sea and fought Cesi Selian. Although there were rumors later that Selian was only in the cabin and commanded by the Sisi family. The current clan leader." Gan Ning said helplessly.
Compared to others, Gan Ning had a very deep understanding of Meng Kambu. Gan Ning knew many things that Meng Kambu would not usually tell others. After all, Gan Ning was Master Gan!
"So this guy's upper limit is actually very high?" Chen Xi asked very doubtfully, "I saw that his performance in the past few times was good, but that's it."
"If no one is riding on his head and he is allowed to do whatever he wants, he will become more and more capable." Gan Ning said to Chen Xi with a depressed look, "But if there is a father above you..."
Meng Combo, who had a father above him, was just an ordinary army commander. But now that the fathers above his head were finally dead, Meng Combo himself became the father!
Because the Jiangdong Navy was defeated at the mouth of the Ganges River before, and then the island of Ceylon was successfully occupied. Under the current conditions, remote control is completely nonsense. Therefore, when Kushan divided the war zone, Vesutiva I waved his hand in order to boost morale. , Moncomb became the commander-in-chief of the East Indian Ocean.
As a result, the last guy who was barely regarded as the father of Meng Combo was gone. The head of the Sisi family next door, Ceci Ansar, and Meng Comb were on the same level and no longer subordinate to each other.
With no one in charge, Meng Combo's tactics quickly developed towards unbridled and unconstrained tactics, and the commander also quickly abandoned a lot of gadgets inherited from Selian that he didn't use very well and were not very comfortable, along the way. Develop crazily along the route you think.
Then pirates began to proliferate in the Indian Ocean. Chen Xi couldn't understand why there were so many pirates. Is this grass?
"So now you can explain to me what this thing is all about?" Chen Xi took out a pirate tutorial written in Kushan language. There was even a version simplified to the Han Dynasty for fishermen to get. For those who can't read, Under such circumstances, you can learn simple techniques and tactics and naval battle secrets based on Tu. Although the power is very small, it is already a heaven-defying rhythm of enlightenment.
For any technology, top-notch and popularization are real problems.
"It was probably written by Meng Combu. That guy is actually a genius." Gan Ning explained dryly, "It's just that the navy couldn't act according to his orders before."
There were too many fathers on the head in the past, and Selian's naval route was not Montcomb's route, which resulted in Montcomb having no chance to implement his own plan. In fact, it seems now that Montcomb himself has a plan. A complete set of naval combat ideas.
"Do you know what the appearance of this thing means?" Chen Xi exhaled and said, and before Gan Ning could answer, Chen Xi said with a dark face, "This means that there will be a steady stream of pirates appearing, which means that we are in constant danger." The entire coastal area of He-Wenga-Central and South China must be beaten!"
Chen Xi is not afraid of Selian's tricks. Although the losses will be huge, the Han Dynasty can withstand a large-scale decisive battle with the main force, and Selian's style of play is actually difficult to have an impact on the Han Dynasty's rear productivity and mobilization capabilities. , but this set by Meng Kangbu...
The Han Dynasty's loss of tens of thousands in a war is already too much, but in this kind of pirate invasion war, there is an anthill here and a flaw there. After there are too many, the number is definitely not weaker than the losses in a big battle, and it may be The exchange ratio will be better for Kushan than the big battle.
For Chen Xi, there is actually no difference between killing the common people and killing soldiers. There is no stupid problem that soldiers are more important than civilians, so the war situation is developing in this direction. Fighting something like this is much more uncomfortable than any other tactics.
"Well, the governor asked us to deploy heavy permanent ballistae in the coastal areas." Gan Ning defended carefully.
"A walking boat carrying more than a dozen people landed from the coast in the middle of the night. Are your crossbows useful?" Chen Xi said with a dark face. The core point of these techniques and tactics spread by Meng Kangbu is not the power, but the improvement of small-scale Offshore survivability of pirates.
A large-scale landing will be discovered no matter what, but this kind of team of a dozen or dozens of people will still be able to sneak across with 5G and satellite positioning in later generations. With the patrols of these years, they cannot stop them no matter what. Live penetration.
"Did you see the reward?" Chen Xi took out another reward order, and Gan Ning nodded repeatedly.
This is what makes Chen Xi most helpless. Mengkangbu issued a caste promotion order, and with the endorsement of Vesutiva I who has completed the unification of politics and religion, he brought back the head of a Han Dynasty commoner and raised the caste level. Of course, this caste is not a large caste such as Sudra, Vaishya, Kshatriya, or Brahmin, but more than sixty castes that actually exist in South Asia.
In short, I highlight an idea of military merit. The effect is not very good, but not bad. Who knows that under the Nangui caste system, there are many people who want to improve their caste. In addition, under the contemplation of gods and Buddhas, there are also many people who can practice qi with garbage and become a gang. , in this case, a group of dozens of people went hunting together, which was actually very effective.
This order was issued less than a month ago, and the Han Dynasty's residential areas near the Indian Ocean have already suffered a large number of attacks. Although the Han Dynasty's villages have always had the habit of building city walls, compared with Qingzhou, Jizhou's kind of complete Residential areas with a militia system, and most villages are somewhat weak in the face of this kind of hunting team.
Therefore, in a very short period of time, the population losses were summarized in Chang'an. Even if the main losses were naturalized people who were absorbed into the Han Dynasty, they were still labor force. When Chen Xi received the summary data, he was very angry.
"Xingba, do you understand what I mean?" Chen Xi looked at Gan Ning and said seriously.
Gan Ning was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
"If there is another chance in the future, don't show mercy." Chen Xi said to Gan Ning seriously. If Mengkangbu could survive after being defeated because of Gan Ning, then now this situation Chen Xi felt that there was no need to consider those things.
What's more, the overall view and strategic thinking displayed by Mengkangbu, who has completely lost the pressure on his head, are actually very strong. This person already has the foundation to stir up troubles. In this case, let alone holding back. , maybe you will catch up if you are not careful.
Chen Xi knew that Gan Ning was loyal, but Meng Kangbu's current situation was such that he could no longer be loyal. If he had the chance to kill him, he would definitely not hold back.
"I understand." Gan Ning's always bold expression had a hint of gloom.
No way, no matter what happened to Meng Kangbu, he and Meng Kangbu got along really well back then. The reason why he chose Meng Kangbu at the time was because Gan Ning heard that Meng Kangbu was being suppressed. How could I have imagined that it would be like this?
"As long as you know." Chen Xi said seriously, he was really trying to guide Gan Ning.
If Chen Xi could have turned a blind eye to protect Meng Kangbu before, but it really can't be done now. After all, those actions before could be said to be based on their own masters, but now, they have been used to any extent. , Chen Xi couldn't tolerate it anymore.
After sending Gan Ning away, Chen Xi picked up another report, which was a record of how many people Sun Ce had taken away from Kandahar.
Chen Xi glanced at it and threw it aside. He didn't care about it. He didn't know who sent it. Lao Cao was still at the medical hospital, preparing for a new round of treatment. Who sent this thing here? Chen Xi I'm too lazy to care about it, just do whatever you like.
"I'm here today, let's go first." Chen Xi finished handling other things and greeted Zhuge Liang. All the work here that once belonged to Lu Su has been handed over to Zhuge Liang, and after such a long time, Chen Xi After helping from the side, Zhuge Liang is now 90% as good as Lu Su in handling the situation.
As for 10%, I'm afraid it will take another year or two. There's nothing we can do about it. Lu Su has been doing the job for more than ten years, and Zhuge Liang can fully take over within one or two years. It's already a monster. It can reach 90% in a few months. The level has exceeded Chen Xi's estimate.
Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and didn't say anything. His immediate boss gave him a holiday. What can you say? Is there anyone in the Government Affairs Department who can sanction Chen Xi?
"I'm going back too." Not long after Chen Xi left, Fazheng also stood up and said, "Jiang Ying has finally become pregnant again since she was pregnant a few years ago. Fazheng is almost old enough to call himself an old man. How much?" Some have realized the importance of continuing the family line, and naturally they dare not waste time.
Zhuge Liang glanced at it and said nothing.
Fazheng tidied up a few times, then hurriedly left the Government Affairs Office, and soon caught up with Chen Xi, "Zichuan, walk slower."
"You slipped away too." Chen Xi glanced at Fazheng, who had clearly transferred from the front line to Chang'an as prime minister, and greeted with a smile.
"While the division of official duties has not yet been determined these days, I can still take some more rest. In a few days, it may be decided." Fazheng said with a smile, "The current situation in Chang'an, tsk."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. After what happened last year, Chen Xi became much sharper, or in other words, he regained some of his previously abandoned instincts.
"Xiao Nao, you should be the strongest among us in some aspects now." Chen Xi asked curiously.
"Well, probably so." Fazheng did not deny it. Now he has basically caught up with Zhengshi as Liu Bei's mastermind and the level he was when he fought the Hanzhong War. What's more important is that Fazheng is younger now and has a more stable mentality. , almost no weaknesses.
"Then should you tell me some facts on behalf of others?" Chen Xi sighed and said, "I'm waiting for a reply from the Zhen family. The Zhen family has never come to see me, neither before the meeting nor during the meeting. Now people They’re all gone and still nothing.”
"Can't it be that someone wants to say something but fails to speak?" Fazheng said with a smile.
"I believe what Zijian said, but I don't believe it if Zijian can explain it clearly." Chen Xi said very gently, "I hope Zijian can explain clearly something that can force Cao Sikong to do this. To be honest, I I really don’t believe it, so I’ve been waiting for Mrs. Zhen’s explanation.”
"Then you didn't wait?" Fazheng said with a smile, "If you couldn't wait, who do you think is the final winner in this matter?
? "
"It's hard for me to guarantee who the final winner will be, but the Zhen family is undoubtedly the current winner." Chen Xi said calmly.
"You really know." Fazheng sighed.
"How could I not know?" Chen Xi said softly, "I am not a clay or wood sculpture."
