Chapter 6681 Entering the brain
Chen Xi was not talking nonsense. What he really needed to fight against was the out-of-control human heart. Compared with other substantial things, with the development of the Han Empire to this point, this was the only thing that could really cause harm to Chen Xi. As for the things that the Kushan Empire brought out, they were just for fun for Chen Xi.

Those things cannot shake the solid foundation that Chen Xi has laid for the Han Empire. Instead, the internal problems of the Han Empire will bring great shock to Chen Xi.

What is the Yanzhou case? It is about enduring a lifetime of hardship and adhering to morality in the era of suffering. After entering a new era, he found that the people ahead of him in the new era were younger and stronger than him, and there was no way for him to advance. In desperation, people’s hearts degenerated.

What is the Jizhou case? It is the bureaucratic system that saw the gap left by the Han family leaving, and created us to surpass the other party and fill the gap, which eventually led to an irreversible major case.

Zijing, forget it, there is no need to talk about this anymore.

These are essentially out-of-control human hearts, and these are what Chen Xi wants to fight against, because as long as these things do not happen, the Han Empire will naturally grow and develop. Even if it is bound to collapse at that time, it will leave behind a vast territory with the same language, ethnicity, and customs for future generations.

"I don't care about your so-called outrageous behavior." Chen Xi said calmly, "Whether it's for your own consideration, for the consideration of the officers and soldiers who follow you, or just for the ambition of expanding your power, I don't care."

"Many people have hinted or even told me that the Yuan family is ambitious and have said this and that. Among them are not only officers and soldiers who 'transited' through Eastern Europe, but also hidden agents of aristocratic families, censors who heard rumors and respected celebrities. But so what?" Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu with unusually calm eyes.

"Are we fighting for China, or for the country of one family and one surname?" Chen Xi uttered a question as treasonous as thunder.

"What does it matter if the country is named Liu, Yuan, Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, or even Cao or Sun?" Chen Xi said with some sarcasm. This was the biggest disagreement between Chen Xi and Liu Ye. It was the reason why Chen Xi accepted Lu Su's exile, let bygones be bygones, and cleaned up the mess himself, but finally chose to get rid of Liu Ye, because at this point, the differences between Chen Xi and Liu Ye could not be reconciled.

Which is more important, the eternal dynasty or the prosperity of China? Chen Xi chose the latter, so he allowed this group of people to compete. As long as it was benign, Chen Xi would not stop it. However, Liu Ye chose the former because of his background, and the differences between the two sides were put on the table.

Liu Ye originally thought that he could win Chen Xi back and take the path of eternal prosperity, but he failed in the end, and Liu Ye, who was at the gambling table, was out.

"Since when did the Chinese family become the Liu family, and the Han family become the Liu family?" Chen Xi's soft question exploded in Zhou Yu's ears like thunder.

"China is China. It is a collective made up of hundreds of millions of people. It is not a group of wealthy families, nobles who have been passed down through the ages, nor is it the private property of one surname or one family." Chen Xi said this in front of Zhou Yu.

"Does the commander know what you are thinking?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi very seriously. Assuming that this was what Chen Xi thought and he did not say what Liu Bei said, then this would be the biggest split in the Han Empire so far, and it would be a split to the extent that the sky would be shattered and people's hearts would be unbalanced.

Let alone betrayal at this level. At Chen Xi's level, the only thing that can happen is division. He himself is a very powerful political force.

"How can you not know?" Chen Xi said softly, "If you don't know this, do you know how to achieve the eternal lineage most simply?"

Zhou Yu's expression became extremely serious. How could the eternal dynasty be achieved most simply? Was it that simple?

"Emperor Gaozu was just a village headman in Pei County. He had nothing of his own, but he took seven years to pacify the world. When Emperor Guangwu really started to compete for supremacy, it only took him three years to conquer the world. Gongjin, how long do you think it took the commander-in-chief to pacify the world after he conquered the northern border?" Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu calmly.

"It only took one year. If the princess had not been appointed as regent, the Han Dynasty would have truly entered a state of competition at the moment of Emperor Min's death. With the strength of the Taiwei at the time, it only took one year." Chen Xi said softly, "Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake and started an uprising, and won the world in seven years. Emperor Guangwu broke the deadlock with the fall of the star and ruled the world in three years. Emperor Xuande met the white fox and ruled the world in one year. What is this? This is destiny."

Zhou Yu was clearly just a spirit body, and at this moment the cold sweat on his head could not stop flowing down.

"Some things happen once or twice, but when they happen a third time, it's destiny." Chen Xi said with some fatigue, "So I stopped Lord Xuande. That was the most anxious time in my life. Lord Xuande understood at that time. His answer was, I helped him, now it's time for him to help me realize my wish."

"So the things you are considering are too trivial in our view. Ambition, usurpation, rebellion, they are all too trivial." Chen Xi said with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "What do those count for? What's so great about them? What will happen if they are really accomplished?"

Chen Xi looked down on those guys who insisted that the Han family was the Liu family. If the other party had the surname Liu, Chen Xi could at least say that it was for the benefit of one family and was worthy of the feudal ambition. But since you are not surnamed Liu, how can it be taken for granted that the Liu family has been around for thousands of generations? Are the eunuchs worried about the emperor?
If you are a nobleman who lives and dies with the country, then saying this is worthy of your golden rice bowl. But there are very few nobles who live and die with the country in this world. How can ordinary people be grateful to the ruling class? They must have something wrong with their brains.

In times of peace and prosperity, people say that the emperor is benevolent, but in times of chaos, even the grass is cooked in the pot. Yet they also say that the emperor should abuse his power and the Liu family should be the dynasty for eternity. Is it that the strategy of fooling the people has been instilled into their brains, or are they obsessed with feudalism and think that they must have a father who rides on their heads?

Even if other people's ambition is to end the Liu family's kingdom, for Chen Xi, as long as they do a good job, Chen Xi will not deliberately stop them. The world belongs to everyone in the world. Even if the ignorant people think that the kingdom belongs to a certain person or a certain family, and they must let others ride on their heads, they will eventually wake up.

The choice is between false words that can deceive everyone for a period of time and those that can deceive only some of the people forever. There is no such thing as a lie that can deceive everyone forever.

Chen Xi chose Liu Bei simply because Liu Bei's morality was closer to Chen Xi's cognition. As for the things attached to Liu Bei after his victory, Chen Xi did not recognize them. A real adult should at least have the ability to control his own heart.

Chen Xi knew exactly what to do and to what extent.

Liu's world? What a joke! It's the Han's world. Liu's is the Han, but the Han includes not only Liu's, Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang. These are all Han, all! Even more broadly, those who inherited the Han, recognized their own identity from the bottom of their hearts, and integrated themselves are also all Han. This is not only the concept of bloodline, nor is it just the concept of ethnicity. It is the concept of mutual superposition and assimilation, and finally the concept of one's own people.

"Have you abandoned the Han culture, or joined the barbarians with your hair loose and your clothes on the left, or have you forgotten your ancestors' tombs and no longer worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?" Chen Xi just looked at Zhou Yu quietly.

Zhou Yu had nothing to say. Indeed, if you think about it from this perspective, even if the Han Dynasty fell, what would it matter? The victors still used the laws of their ancestors, still wore Chinese clothes, and still followed the customs of the Han Dynasty. So the Han of the Liu family was China, and the Tang of the Li family was not China?

"So go do what you should do. I won't be in charge of the rest." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu. "No matter how rubbish the Jiangdong families are, they are better than the barbarians."

"That's all I have to say." Chen Xi's figure began to lengthen, and then he turned into light and disappeared in front of Zhou Yu. Chen Xi's voice came from far away in the sky.

"Does the breadth of one's mind determine one's final stage?" Zhou Yu whispered to himself as he watched Chen Xi disappear. Even though Chen Xi had shown his thoughts in this regard before, compared to such a direct narration this time, Zhou Yu finally understood Chen Xi's thoughts.

"Gongjin, Chen Zichuan..." Sun Ce stood aside and listened to everything from beginning to end. He knew a lot of outrageous things, but these were not bad things for them. At least from a certain perspective, some of their behaviors and thoughts would no longer be restricted.

"It's not entirely a good thing." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Chen Zichuan not only tacitly approved of our behavior, but also actually tacitly approved of other people's behavior towards us."

China is not the empire of the Liu family, so it is understandable that others covet it. Conversely, Jiangdong is not the Jiangdong of Sun Zhou, so it is natural that others covet it. There is no such thing as everyone is equal above me and everyone is below me, with clear classes. It is very simple and crude, and all people are exactly the same in this respect.

What is elitism? Like a dragon, like a phoenix, like a phoenix, and like a mouse's son, he will be able to dig holes. There is no such inevitable inheritance. There is only the capable rising and the mediocre falling.

"Are we worried?" Sun Ce said casually.

"That's true." Zhou Yu nodded, "At least we don't have to think about this at this stage."

"What about us now?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

"Go directly back to Malacca, Meng Kangbu should be here soon." Zhou Yu restrained his expression and spoke calmly.

"Shouldn't we meet up with Gan Xingba?" Sun Ce said with some surprise.

"No, Xingba is most likely to go to the Isthmus of Kra." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "He is not sure if he can inflict heavy damage on Meng Kangbu who is coming from the west when he encounters Meng Kangbu in the east of Malacca. But on the other hand, he is quite sure that he can cause damage to Meng Kangbu when Meng Kangbu withdraws from Malacca. After all, no matter what the result is at that time, Meng Kangbu's condition will not be very good."

Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, then his expression changed slightly, as if he realized something. However, this change of expression only lasted for a short time. Sun Ce calmed himself down and looked at the matter calmly without any anger on his face.

"You are not angry?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce in surprise. Normally, Sun Ce either didn't realize what happened, or as long as he realized Meng Kangbu's behavior, he should be very angry, and even have some dissatisfaction with Gan Ning.

After all, this behavior, when Gan Ning didn't know Zhou Yu was still alive, was equivalent to Gan Ning allowing Meng Kangbu to destroy Sun Ce's main base on Sumatra Island. After wreaking havoc and winning a great victory, he would unexpectedly send a divine force to beat Meng Kangbu to death as he returned with a full load.

"What's there to be angry about?" Sun Ce curled his lips and said, "If you really died, Xingba's action is equivalent to revenge for you. This can be said to be Xingba's only chance to defeat Meng Kangbu. After fighting with Meng Kangbu so many times, I have also seen that except for you, no one else can basically beat Meng Kangbu in normal performance. Even if Xingba has the seventh generation of ships, if he doesn't go against the victory and block the unbalanced Kushan navy, how much can he achieve?"

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard it. Indeed, if he really died, Gan Ning would have entered Malacca from the east side of Malacca to block Meng Kangbu. He had already been prepared, even if it was a means to guard against Zhou Yu. Well, it was even worse if he thought about it carefully. The means used to guard against Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ships were used to guard against Gan Ning and the seventh-generation ships. Even if Gan Ning took them by surprise, how much result could he achieve facing Meng Kangbu who ran away directly?

Winning is certain, but whether Zhou Yu can kill Meng Kangbu or inflict heavy damage on the Kushan fleet is questionable.

But if Meng Kangbu killed Jiang Dong and returned with a full load, and then encountered Gan Ning on the west side of Malacca, the probability of being defeated would be very high, or even the possibility of being beaten to death. This is not a problem of skills, tactics and defense, but a problem of mentality, just like the time when Cai Mao was beaten by Meng Kangbu, there was no way he could be prepared.

"But if you think about it carefully, is it true that Meng Kangbu was not prepared in this regard?" Sun Ce frowned and looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "If he hadn't met Gan Ning, he should have taken some precautions on the way back. He shouldn't have been completely unprepared."

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce deeply. What can I say? It would be great if Sun Ce could use his brain at other times. It turns out that you, Bofu, have a brain. I thought you had no brain.

"There will be defenses, but the Kushans have never seen the real seventh-generation ships after all." Zhou Yu said with some lament. It is a good thing that Sun Ce has a brain, but when he is resurrected, Sun Ce's brain will quickly disappear. This is not a good thing. The problem is that you can't die for Sun Ce's brain. It would be better to use yourself as Sun Ce's brain.

The defense that Meng Kangbu took when encountering the seventh-generation ships before he made huge gains and slaughtered Jiangdong violently was completely different from the defense that Meng Kangbu took when encountering the seventh-generation ships after he defeated Jiangdong and made countless gains.

The former must have whatever tactics they have prepared, but for the latter, not every captain can perfectly execute Montcomb's orders.

If we take into account the relaxed state brought about by victory, it is still a huge question how much of the previous anxious preparations can be retained.

"In this case, do we need to notify Xingba now? Meng Kangbu is going to enter Malacca no matter what. After he enters, we will block him head-on from east to west, while Xingba will attack from the west to east, from both sides. Maybe we can directly wipe out the Kushan navy." Sun Ce's brain, which was about to disappear, was struggling in its death throes, showing its due value and ability, and even made a very good plan. However, it was still somewhat not good enough when facing Zhou Yu.

"We don't have enough manpower and we don't have enough naval backbones." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

To be honest, if Sun Ce's plan could be implemented, it would definitely be a problem to annihilate Meng Kangbu and completely destroy the main force of the Kushan Navy.

All the secret techniques of submarine navigation and underwater defense are nonsense after entering Malacca. Except for the northwest direction where the water depth is over 200 meters, the water depth in other places is only more than 20 meters. Even if the Kushans have any ideas of submarine navigation, facing reality will lead to a dead end.

Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty navy did not have such a large number of naval forces after the previous losses in the Bay of Bengal. The naval fleet currently led by Gan Ning, with the seventh-generation ship as the flagship, basically included the vast majority of the Han Dynasty's naval backbones.

All that was left for Zhou Yu were some old, weak, sick and disabled people. To be honest, with Zhou Yu in command of these people, under the current situation, he could only scare Meng Kangbu off at most. If he really wanted to fight to the death with the other side, it wouldn't take long for Meng Kangbu to see through their strength. At that time, if Meng Kangbu gave it his all, Zhou Yu, who was leading such a small number of people, such a small ship, and all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, might end up being killed.

After the Battle of the Bay of Bengal, the Han Dynasty Navy shrank across the board because the number of backbone personnel in the navy was really small. Even if it absorbed the personnel of the East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Bureau provided by Chen Xi, the Han Dynasty Navy could only maintain a fully staffed main fleet.

Now that Gan Ning has taken the main fleet away, Zhou Yu has returned to Malacca, and the manpower and ships he can mobilize are very limited.

With only such limited manpower and ships, it would be impossible for Zhou Yu to gain an advantage against the fully-armed Meng Kangbu. At the very least, it would be basically impossible for him to win in a real all-out battle.

But there is no need to start a fight. As long as Zhou Yu shows up, in a naval battle that requires technical and tactical skills, Zhou Yu's few moves are enough for Meng Kangbu to determine whether the opponent is the real Zhou Yu or a fake Zhou Yu.

After confirming his identity, Meng Kangbu would retreat immediately. After all, Zhou Yu was alive, so what was the point of fighting him? If he fought Zhou Yu to death on the battlefield Zhou Yu had set, Celian would be dead! He had better run away as soon as possible to save his life and preserve the vitality of the Kushan Navy.

"Then let's just meet up with Xingba. You take over the seventh-generation ship and attack Meng Kangbu from behind. It shouldn't be a problem to kill him directly." Sun Ce suggested again.

"No, let's go back to Malacca and meet up with Cai Degui, and wait for Meng Kangbu to show up and meet up with Xingba. I'm worried that Meng Kangbu will go straight into the Pacific Ocean through Malacca in desperation." Zhou Yu shook his head and refused. "Back then, not only did we arrange the battlefield in advance, but Celian also arranged it in advance. There are many volcanoes in this part of the Pacific Ocean, and Meng Kangbu has the data."

Masinde's joining the Han Dynasty not only solved the problems in the Tibetan area, but also resolved some of the remaining problems in Southeast Asia. After all, when he and Celian were entrenched in Malacca, many of the hidden pieces were handled by Masinde, and some of the back-up plans, preset battlefields, etc. were also operated by Masinde.

Zhou Yu was not surprised by this. After all, it was impossible for either him or Celian to win quickly by relying on strength alone. Since he could set up a battlefield in the South China Sea and bury secret stakes that could activate the earth veins, it was natural for Celian to set up a battlefield in Southeast Asia.

After taking Sumatra, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also carefully explored Celian's preset battlefield and pulled out many secret magic stakes from the bottom of the sea.

But in the past five or six years, the Kushan technology has made further progress, and Meng Kangbu also personally experienced the Southeast Asian battlefield. Even some of the preset battlefields were designed by Meng Kangbu himself. In this case, if Meng Kangbu really entered the preset battlefield, God knows what means he would use.

The scale of volcanoes in Southeast Asia is no joke. If we really allow Meng Kangbu to enter the battlefield that was preset that year, and when he is left with no other options, he will use self-circulation to detonate these things in the hope of mutual destruction. The losses to the Han Dynasty will not be too small, so it is better to be conservative.

"Are you sure Meng Kangbu won't fight you to death if you do this?" Sun Ce asked cautiously. Gan Ning took away the main force of the navy. Even if there are still some troops in Malacca, they may not be large in scale. Even if Cai Mao's navy is taken into account, the scale may not be enough now.

"Just like I gave Zhu Helai a reason, Zhu Helai would definitely force Meng Kangbu to gamble, Meng Kangbu lacked a reason to retreat, and I made up for it after he showed up. He would never get entangled with me and would just leave quickly." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "They are all smart people, but because they are smart people, they have a certain rule for certain things and certain behaviors."

Reasons to take a gamble, reasons to stop loss, reasons to take risks, etc., are all for smart people.

“Is that so?” Sun Ce nodded upon hearing this and stopped asking questions. His brain began to enter a long period of dormancy. Zhou Yu was quite helpless about this, but he didn’t know what to say. Then the two of them looked at each other, flew up, and flew directly towards Malacca.

At the same time, Gan Ning led the seventh-generation ships and the Jiangdong main fleet through the Isthmus of Kra and entered the Indian Ocean. Just as Zhou Yu had speculated, Gan Ning directly abandoned the Jiangdong forces and prepared to enter the Indian Ocean from the Isthmus of Kra, and then wait for Meng Kangbu's victorious return at the western entrance of Malacca.

Compared to the situation where Meng Kangbu, with his back to the Indian Ocean, could not win and just ran away, and Gan Ning had no way to stop him, Gan Ning, with his back to the Indian Ocean, led the seventh-generation ships to face Meng Kangbu who was returning to the Indian Ocean from Malacca. Even if Meng Kangbu wanted to run away, he had to fight the seventh-generation ships head-on.

In terms of Gan Ning's abilities, it is obvious that the latter can achieve greater results under controllable circumstances.

It's the end of the month, please vote if you have any. The author's current situation is likely to be over.
