Chapter 6675 Before the storm

Chapter 6675 Before the storm

"Has the Kushan not taken any action yet?" Chen Xi looked at the information provided by Guo Jia with some surprise, frowning. From the assassination of Zhou Yu to the repeated investigations by the Kushan, it is almost the last moment. If the Kushan still does not move, Zhou Yu can only blame himself for his bad luck.

"There is no reaction. I think this plan is going to fail." Guo Jia said helplessly. Ever since Zhou Yu was assassinated, Guo Jia had been keeping an eye on Kushan, waiting for Kushan's reaction. The Kushan Empire was quite positive about this matter in the past, but it seems to have lost its reaction recently. At least there was no reaction from Kushan's mainland and Meng Kangbu's navy. They seemed to be doing what they had to do.

"Are you sure it's going to fail? If it really fails, I will inform Gongjin." Chen Xi said with a pout. He could hear the sarcasm in Guo Jia's tone. There was indeed no progress on this matter recently, but the Kushans' performance was a little too indifferent, so indifferent that Chen Xi realized that the other party was deliberately hiding.

"It's the calm before the storm. Although it's a little unexpected that Moncomb hasn't taken action yet, it's not very reasonable that the Kushans haven't made any moves at all." Li You said calmly, "Xingba's seventh-generation warships are almost in place now. The Kushans don't have much time to capture them. The deadline should be approaching now."

"Whether they will take action depends on the next few days. If the Kushan Empire still hasn't taken action after these few days, then Governor Zhou must be prepared to be embarrassed in the history books." Fa Zheng said calmly, "If he can't trick the Kushan Empire, then the governor will be embarrassed."

"It shouldn't be that bad." Chen Xi sighed. According to his feeling, the Kushan Empire had to attack no matter what. After all, this accident was a very important opportunity for the Kushan Empire. It was an opportunity for the Kushan Navy to maintain its advantage for a long time. In theory, the other party should not let it go no matter what. However, the outrageous thing about Meng Kangbu was that he seemed to be fine until now.

"Perhaps it's because Lord Wu hasn't responded yet that the Kushan Empire has come to its senses." Zhuge Liang said without raising his head, "We tried our best to keep the news from Lord Wu, but he still got the news quickly. It's obviously a test from the Kushan Empire, but Lord Wu didn't respond after receiving the news, which inevitably makes people suspicious."

"But we can't really let Sun Bofu, who knows nothing, go back. If that happens, Sun Bofu will really go to quell the rebellion, and he will know the coordinates himself." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

"It looks like this plan is going to fail." Man Chong said calmly to the guys.

"It's hard to say. I have a strong feeling that this matter should be clear in the next two days. Meng Kangbu might really be trying to find the right time." Guo Jia said with an eager look, "I'm afraid the other party is also gambling."

When Guo Jia said this, the other people present also looked thoughtful.

"Moncomb will most likely disagree with this plan, but he doesn't have much choice." Fa Zheng bent his knuckles and tapped the table, with a thoughtful look on his face. "In this case, we need to consider something else. How about I take the lead and do something dirty?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi glanced at Fa Zheng. He didn't know what Fa Zheng was thinking. When he was in Ganges, he had specially collected negative information about Zhu Helai. Fa Zheng had collected a lot of those unfounded things. Of course, there was no evidence. Overall, it could only be said that it was possible. However, if these negative information were dug out at certain times, it could catch Zhu Helai off guard.

Especially when Zhu Helai is already in a predicament, this kind of black material is still very useful, and it can be used to beat the dog when it is down. And this time, no matter whether Zhou Yu can calculate the Kushan Navy or not, the black material prepared by Fa Zheng is ready to feed Zhu Helai.

"This timing is not a good one." Guo Jia said with a frown. He was also judging the timing, but overall, in his opinion, if Meng Kangbu had not attacked Sumatra and the Kushan navy had not suffered major losses, then Fa Zheng's bad deeds would not mean much.

"Just venting my anger. Whether it works or not, just put it aside. Anyway, I have a lot of black material and I don't mind using this part first." Fa Zheng said indifferently. His attitude was very clear. He just wanted to disgust Zhu Helai. As for other stuff, it was really not that important.

"Then it's up to you." When Guo Jia heard this reason, he didn't care.

"Wait two more days and inform Zi Zhong to tell him to be careful in Southeast Asia. In terms of time, these two days should be the last window of opportunity. After these two days, Xingba should arrive in Malacca. By then, even if Meng Kangbu has the ability, it will probably be too late." Chen Xi said to Zhuge Liang with a thoughtful look on his face.

In Fuso, Zhou Yu has begun trying to break away from the constraints of the gods and manifest himself independently. However, it is too difficult for Zhou Yu, who is bound by the throne of the great god, to separate from the throne and exist independently. After all, Zhou Yu has been forcibly deified and has become a dependent. In this case, if he wants to break free from the constraints, Zhou Yu has no support at all.

"Didn't expect it to be like this?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu who appeared in front of him with a bit of sigh. However, when he was sure that Zhou Yu was not dead, Sun Ce felt much more at ease. To Sun Ce, Zhou Yu was a brother closer to him than Zhongmou.

"The throne of God's Land provides us with power, but it also forms a kind of bondage. In fact, I was assassinated and should not have died. When I was on the verge of death, God's Land dragged me here and forcibly deified me. Fortunately, my spiritual power is relatively strong, and I barely withstood this canonization. Otherwise, it would have been a real trouble." Zhou Yu said with a somewhat depressed look.

"Speaking of which, how sure are you that the Kushan navy will attack?" Sun Ce nodded when he heard this, and rarely used his brain, looking at Zhou Yu and asking. He knew what had happened before, and he had to deal with the Jiangdong aristocratic families. If they dared to mess with his brothers, he would definitely not show mercy, but the Kushan navy...

"It will be in these few days." Zhou Yu said solemnly, "Meng Kangbu has no choice in this matter. He must attack. The most he can do is choose the time to attack."

"Is that so?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in a strange way. He didn't attack Zhou Yu right away, but chose a special time to attack. Was he mentally ill? To put it bluntly, speed is of the essence in war. Brother, why did he choose a time? Why didn't he attack right away? What else are you thinking?

"The seventh-generation ship is coming. Meng Kangbu may not believe that I am dead, but since he has launched the attack, he must choose a time that is most suitable for him, that is, the time when Gan Xingba leads the seventh-generation ship to arrive. Because even if I am alive at that time, Gan Xingba will still be on the seventh-generation ship, and I will not be able to directly command the seventh-generation ship. This is the last chance to evaluate." Zhou Yu said calmly.

"That shouldn't be the case. Xingba will never be soft-hearted in big matters. It's okay at other times, but this time, if Xingba encounters Meng Kangbu, he will definitely kill him. Things are different now." Sun Ce didn't understand strategies, but he understood Erha. He and Gan Ning were the same creatures, and he knew very well what choices they would make when faced with certain things.

"Yes, Gan Ning will definitely not show mercy this time, but not showing mercy does not mean that he can kill Meng Kangbu. This is not a question of intentional or not, but a very realistic thing. Meng Kangbu has not appeared until now. How many means has he prepared to wait for the seventh-generation ship?" Zhou Yu said helplessly.

"Then why don't we let Chen Zichuan come over now and cut you out of the divine land, and then I'll take you back and you wake up first." Sun Ce rarely used his brain.

Zhou Yu was silent for a while after hearing this, and didn't say anything. He was bound tightly by the Divine Land. If Chen Xi took action, he could indeed cut out, but Zhou Yu had an idea of ​​how long he could escape for the first time. If he escaped now, he might be dragged back when the real fight came. So he had to wait a little longer, at least to allow himself to successfully appear in front of Meng Kangbu when he came.

“It seems that there is some hidden reason on your side that you haven’t told me.” Sun Ce sighed. His brain, which had been solidified and dead for a long time, has been turning at a surprisingly fast speed recently. After all, without Zhou Yu, Sun Ce was forced to step out of his comfort zone and had to solve many things on his own.

"It's not a hidden reason. Just wait a little longer, the time will be up soon." Zhou Yu shook his head and said. He had only told Sun Ce good news, but this time Sun Ce obviously had some reservations and didn't believe it all. Zhou Yu was helpless about this. Why did Sun Ce become so smart this time?

In the Indian Ocean, Meng Kangbu, who had been sneaking all the way, led the main navy of Kushan underwater and approached the vicinity of Malacca. As Zhou Yu and others judged, Meng Kangbu had no choice whether to attack or not. He could only choose the time to attack.

Even the choice of the time to attack put Meng Kangbu in an embarrassing situation. Although Zhu Helai did not urge him, Vasudeva I urged him almost three times a day, which put Meng Kangbu under great pressure. But there was no denying that Vasudeva I was really active in dealing with Zhou Yu.

Vasudeva I was so active that he even wrote a private letter to Mongcombu, explaining why he wanted him to attack and severely defeat Jiangdong. In the letter, Vasudeva I also said that he actually suspected that Zhou Yu was not dead, but as Zhu He said, no matter whether Zhou Yu was dead or not, the plan of faking his death would plunge Jiangdong into turmoil, which was an opportunity for the Kushans.

Things have come to this point. As a supporter of Vasudeva I, what can Mongcombu say? He can only say that he is a subject who serves the country but must die for it. There is nothing else he can say. Vasudeva I even sent a private letter and made his intention clear: he wanted to avenge the murder of his wife.

Faced with this situation, what can Meng Kangbu do? Just fight. The master is humiliated and the minister dies. This is only too normal.

"How long will it take us to reach Malacca?" he asked Benazir Bhutto standing beside him, "How is the deep dive plan being prepared?"

"We will reach Malacca in about an hour. We have made preparations for the deep dive. We are just waiting to activate the secret technique and enter a state of tranquility." Ben Bhutto answered Moncombu in the almost invisible cabin. Now the Kushan fleet led by Moncombu was diving three or four hundred meters below the sea to avoid being discovered.

As for the deep diving secret technique, it is a new strategic secret technique developed by the Kushans. The diving secret technique was developed by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu has a special secret technique that can be used to detect ships under the sea. Conventional diving will be detected by special detection means after getting close to a certain distance.

For this purpose, Meng Kangbu had people develop a lot of special secret techniques during the relatively ample truce period recently, and deep diving was one of them - an underwater reconnaissance technique specifically targeting the Han Dynasty.

"Prepare to start and enter the quiet state. Let all departments be ready." Meng Kangbu took a deep breath to suppress his inner irritability and worries, and tried to face the coming war with the best attitude possible. It didn't matter whether Zhou Yu was alive or dead. Since he was here, he had to do what he should do. There was no point in thinking too much. As for the seventh-generation ship, he had to give it a big gift this time!
Just as the elite Kushan navy under Meng Kangbu's command fell into silence, in the dim seabed, the idle soldiers of the Kushan navy in the cabin had already begun chatting.

"By the way, have you heard that the Han Dynasty is going to hold a martial arts competition?" In the dim cabin, several middle-level officers who were almost blind began to talk nonsense. After all, they couldn't see anything, and there was nothing to do if they just lay in the cabin, so they might as well talk about something new.

"I've never heard of it." Upon hearing this, the other Kushan elder brother sat up from his bed and looked at the other party with some curiosity and asked.

"Is the Han Dynasty going to hold a military performance?" Gorna opened his eyes in the darkness, and the originally dim cabin suddenly became bright.

"Brother, please restrain your light. It's too bright. My eyesight is not very good. I can't stand your alternating dim and bright light." Another brother in the four-person room said helplessly. Although the light was not very glaring, the sudden light in the dim cabin still made him shed tears involuntarily.

"Don't you know?" said the centurion who spoke first with some surprise.

"How could they know? We have no access to any information from the outside world. Every day we are either being trained or training our soldiers." Gorna said with some helplessness. It is not easy to be a Kushan soldier, especially for centurions who were promoted from elite backbones. They are not strong enough and can die at any time, so they work hard to improve their survivability every day.

After Gorna said this, except for the one who spoke first, the other two also fell into some kind of emotion. Facing the offensive of the Han Dynasty, the ordinary soldiers who went to the battlefield and could not come back did not feel anything. But for these Kushan brothers who had lived from the first battle with the Han Dynasty to the present, they had their own understanding of the situation between the Han and Kushan.

Apart from anything else, did they train so hard before? No, why do they train so hard now? Because if the ordinary backbones of the Han army rushed up, they would die as long as they were slightly weaker. On the other hand, the backbones of the Kushan army who survived until now could hold on even if they were blocked by the shield guards.

"Think positively. With our strength, we can get along anywhere, right?" Singh said after a moment of silence. As a common name in Kushan, there are at least 80,000 people named Singh in every legion. But to be honest, Kushan does not have many brothers as powerful as Singh in front of them.

After hearing this, Gorna was silent for a while, then he raised his hand, and starlight slipped from his fingers, and then the entire cabin was sealed. The other three people saw this scene and didn't say anything.

"What do you think of our attack this time?" Gorna asked the three people present. They were assigned to live in a cabin, survived these years, and had good relationships with everyone. It was okay for them to say something out of line, and generally no one would report them. After all, they had survived until now, and they were more or less confused about their future. Although they joined the army just to eat, they were all at this level, and they were still thinking about eating...

"I don't know. You know me. I fight the way the general tells me to. I really don't understand this." Singh said calmly, but the struggle in his eyes showed that this guy was not as calm as he thought.

"The navy is already pretty good. When I was in the army, what did I eat? I am really satisfied with the food in the navy. If I continue to stay here, I don't have any extra thoughts." Another brother said calmly. Gorna glanced at him to make sure he was speaking from his heart. It is normal for someone from the army to have such a mentality. After all, the food in the army is just pig food.

"I just muddle along, I don't have any extra thoughts, and this kind of thing is something that big shots do, we can't change anything." The elder brother from Nangui who spoke first thought for a while and said, "What can people like us change?"

With four fifth-level smelting skills, he could be considered a big shot in other places, but among the elite backbones of the three empires, he is indeed not considered a strong man.

"I feel the road ahead is dangerous." Gorna was silent for a while before saying, "We have lived in a cabin for so many years. I won't hide it. I used to follow General Gars. When I was smelting, I obtained his mental image and integrated it into my talent. I have a special sense of the danger that will happen. This time is very dangerous. I feel that I will die."

When Gorna said this, he omitted one sentence, which was that not only would he die, but several people present would die as well, because Gorna combined the mental image he obtained from Gars with his own elite talent to construct a new smelting talent, and this smelting talent was called Survivor!
Damn it, the workers are ruined
