Chapter 6694 System

Chapter 6694 System
Zheng Du is not making this up; this is the truth.

Even though Zhou Yu's naval warfare skills and tactics were invincible in the world and half a level higher than Meng Kangbu, it would be a bit ridiculous for Zhou Yu to withstand Meng Kangbu's attack when facing the situation where the ships were not complete and the naval soldiers under his command were not elite.

Zheng Du had great confidence in Zhou Yu's abilities. After all, he sided with Sun Ce because he was defeated by Sun Ce. Moreover, over the years, these eyes that could see through the laws of things knew very well who the pillars of Jiangdong were.

Similarly, because they knew who the pillars were, they naturally also knew the limits of their abilities. Although Zhou Yu was strong, he was not strong enough to crush Meng Kangbu.

Previously, he was able to kill Meng Kangbu head-on and force Meng Kangbu to be unable to engage in a head-on battle. That was the result of a combination of ships, manpower, and his own abilities. But now two of these three are missing, and in a head-on fight, Zhou Yu would be the one to be crushed.

Just like Erich Hartmann, a pilot in World War II, he was undoubtedly the strongest pilot in human history, shooting down 352 enemy planes in his lifetime. However, when he was surrounded by a large group of enemy planes, he was still forced to land.

Invincible? Yes, you are indeed invincible, but weapons are very important combat parameters in war, and teammates are also very important components. If your weapons and teammates are not advantageous, even if you are the strongest, you still have to run.

Erich Hartmann, a well-deserved air combat ace, was strangled by a large group of enemy planes and forced to land more than a dozen times.

Therefore, Zheng Du's words clearly meant that we should give up the naval camp. Anyway, you are still alive, and you have successfully tricked Meng Kangbu out by faking your death. Gan Ning will most likely be able to capture Ceylon. Your strategy has already been successful, and there is no need to keep entangled.

Zhou Yu was silent for a while after hearing this, and knocked on the table. Logically speaking, Zheng Du was right. At this point, Zhou Yu was not dead, and the Kushan insiders in Sumatra were basically eliminated after this trick. The Jiangdong families also knew their true position in the overall situation of the Han Dynasty. The strategic fulcrum of the Kushan navy was also knocked out. It can be said that it was a great victory.

Even if Zhou Yu really faked his death, then this plan was perfect, fully demonstrating Zhou Yu's strategic and tactical abilities. However, Zhou Yu was very clear that he was just given the aura of mental retardation, and he forgot to understand, so after being assassinated, he quickly made up for it!

Therefore, facing the current situation, Zhou Yu is somewhat dissatisfied. Although he may not be able to send Meng Kangbu down, it is just "maybe". The word "maybe" means that it is somewhat possible, and he really has a killer move.

"Commander-in-chief, stop while you're ahead." Zhuge Jin sighed and said, "You've already won enough. It's enough to get so much by faking your own death. Once Ceylon, the strategic fulcrum of the Kushan Empire, changes hands, we will have the initiative again. The subsequent victory or defeat is really not important. There's no need to gamble anymore."

This is what Zhuge Jin meant. Let's go ashore directly. If Meng Kangbu has the guts, just go ashore and fight. It just so happens that Jiangdong has added a group of elite backbones and reorganized the military system, so they need to practice, so come ashore and fight.

Zhuge Jin was undoubtedly a good man. Although he was very unhappy about Zhou Yu's fake death, he was open-minded because Zhou Yu was alive and did not have any hatred towards Zhou Yu for this. His words of consolation were also very clear, that is, you have already won, and it was too radical to get on the ship in Malacca to gamble. Winning may not necessarily kill Meng Kangbu, and losing will damage your wisdom.

Why bother, right? You've already won huge, why do you have to fight for the win? Is that fun?

If he stops now, Commander Zhou will fake his own death and kill several birds with one stone, thus reversing the entire strategic situation and regaining the strategic initiative.

If we don't stop now and win, the history books will still have the same evaluation, with no change. But if we fail, it will be embarrassing. At least there will be two records of not having a perfect ending, just like the Battle of Qunu City.

What's the point of fighting this kind of war? Winning is a matter of course, but losing will just be a stepping stone. Stop it, Governor!

Zhou Yu put his hand on his forehead and didn't want to talk. He came up and said that he had faked his death. This really scared the group of people. After all, it was so logical, and he was indeed alive. By the way, he also made a lot of benefits. Even those who didn't believe it had to believe it.

Although this was also Zhou Yu's original intention, to prove that he was not assassinated but was a premeditated plot, but his own family knew his own business. He was really stabbed. Gan Ning was able to stab Ceylon Island because of Lu Xun's strategic superiority. He relied on his spiritual talent to create a trap and seize the opportunity. In fact, he did not have time to think about this. Zhou Yu would not take credit for other people's work.

Therefore, for Zhou Yu, he was more or less lacking something, something that at least would make him feel that being assassinated was not a loss. This was also what Zhou Yu had been thinking about when he was in Shenxiang before.

"I also suggest that we quit while we are ahead." Li Yan secretly showed his head. At this time, he had already joined the ranks of civil officials.

There was no way. Li Yan used to think that Zhou Yu was a guy who was not easy to deal with, so he became a military general and followed Sun Ce. As a result, this time in Northern Europe, Li Yan witnessed with his own eyes how Sun Ce executed those colleagues. Even though Li Yan did not commit any crime, at least he did not commit a crime serious enough to be executed, but the death of the rabbit will make the fox mourn. When Sun Ce gets crazy, he is really ruthless.

Or to put it more directly, without Zhou Yu's brain, Sun Ce would not think long-term when handling things, nor would he consider any issues related to interests. As long as there is enough reason, the person who deserves to die must die!

"Governor, you have already completed the adjustments to the internal military system. During the time when you faked your death, the major families were like quails, trembling in fear and not daring to make any moves. Pang Shiyuan completed all the adjustments according to your orders. As for the Kushan insiders, they were almost completely lost recently in their efforts to gather intelligence on you. The biggest hidden danger in Tiannan County has been eliminated." Wen Pin lowered his head and spoke sincerely. He was afraid too!

"Externally, after Meng Kangbu sent out his troops, you all believed that the change of hands of Ceylon was inevitable. Strategically, the situation has completely reversed. Why should we still waste our energy on Meng Kangbu? A son of a wealthy family should not sit idle in the hall!" Wen Pin sighed and continued to persuade.

"Where are General Han and General Huang?" Zhou Yu did not respond, but turned to look at Sun Ce and asked.

"The two generals are old, so I will let them return to their respective fiefdoms first." Sun Ce said calmly.

In fact, they were retired from the army. Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai were not from Jiangdong, but they assimilated after staying there for a long time. Of course, relatively speaking, these three were more loyal to Sun Ce than others, but they were also greatly affected by their age.

Sun Ce had no intention of settling accounts with these three people, especially since Cheng Pu had already died in battle. As an old minister, dying on the battlefield was a sign of his loyalty to his lord.

Han Dang and Huang Gai would never hesitate to fight for Sun Ce, but as the saying goes, their existence itself is the most difficult thing for Sun Ce to deal with, especially since Han Dang's son is a scumbag, and Han Dang has only this one son, so it is inevitable that these two will help to cover up some things.

With the interpersonal relationships, helping others will become a piece of cake after a while, and with Han Dang's seniority in the Jiangdong system, many things will change if he does it.

As for Huang Gai, he did not have these problems. But when Sun Ce started to deal with these things in Eastern Europe, Huang Gai naturally asked to retire when he saw this scene. After all, Huang Gai's vision and brain were not bad.

Even Huang Gai knew that Sun Ce would not actually settle accounts with him, but there was no need for him to stand in the way.

What's more, unlike Cheng Pu and Han Dang, although Huang Gai has no one in his lineage, his main line is also a family of nobles. Huang Gai's great uncle is called Huang Ge, the old man who married his granddaughter to Liu Yan, and then staged a sudden death for the disobedient Zhong Yao, forcing Zhong Yao to work hard.

The Huang family is also a standard family of three dukes. Huang Gai's father just had a bad relationship with his family and passed away, but the incense and family line have not been cut off, and his uncle Huang Ge died just a few years ago.

To put it bluntly, even in the 21st century, an era when relatives are distant, your grandfather, your close relative, was a vice-state level cadre, but he passed away. Your uncle was not very ambitious and only made it to the ministerial level, but your biological cousin was very ambitious and also made it to the vice-state level. Will you visit them during the holidays?
By the way, your uncle doesn't despise you at all, because he is so old. His younger brothers are all dead, so he is just waiting for his nephews to come and see him and comfort him as an old man. In this case, will you go to see him?

Normally, everyone would go to see it, but Huang Gai was different. Huang Gai said, "I am a stubborn person, so I will go to see it when my uncle's birthday comes."

However, my awesome uncle has lived past the age of 100, and every year is his birthday. Come on, my nephews!

It's quite unfamiliar, but that's the reality. In fact, in ancient times, after the age of 80, every year is a birthday. So even if Huang Gai is relatively unfamiliar with the main vein, he has an uncle who lived over 100 years old, so he can't be unfamiliar with him.

To put it bluntly, when Huang Ge died, Huang Gai had to wear mourning clothes and observe mourning. There was no other way. Even if it was the 21st century, when his father's brother died, he still had to wear mourning clothes and observe mourning for a few days.

The Huang family is more than one level higher than Huang Gai. Long before the Jiangdong incident, they had told Huang Gai to remember to retreat while the going is good and not block the way for those who come after him. It's just that Huang Gai has always considered himself a retainer of the Sun family, which is why he has managed to survive until now.

This time, Sun Ce's liquidation of the Jiangdong aristocratic families and some of the generals and officers made Huang Gai finally realize what his elder brother had told him. After Sun Ce spoke, he withdrew on his own.

This made Sun Ce feel somewhat mean and ungrateful, but as things had come to this point, it was not easy for Sun Ce to say that he had no intention of targeting Huang Gai. He could only compensate Huang Gai privately after Huang Gai retreated.

After all, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai are real old men, but their situations are completely different.

Cheng Pu is dead, and Sun Ce only needs to protect Cheng Pu's mediocre son Cheng Zi from being schemed against by others.

The reason for capturing Han Dang was that Han Dang's son Han Zong was a nuisance. As Han Dang had only this one son, it was difficult for Sun Ce to deal with him, so he simply took this opportunity to let Han Dang go back and deal with it himself. Sun Ce did not touch any of Han Dang's fiefdoms, titles, private soldiers, etc.

As for Huang Gai, he was actually the most obedient old man employed by Sun Ce. Originally, Sun Ce was going to explain to Huang Gai after defeating Han Dang, and promote Huang Gai's official position and title to appease the people's hearts, but he didn't expect Huang Gai to retreat.

It's just that Sun Ce didn't want to mention these words in front of Zhou Yu. For Sun Ce, this was what he should do as the lord of Jiangdong. A lord always has to do things that others cannot do.

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce. Han Dang and Huang Gai all retreated. He now had an idea of ​​the situation of the Jiangdong officers.

"Shiyuan, what do you think?" Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Pang Tong and asked. Pang Tong frowned when he heard it.

"To be honest, I tend to agree with Zi Yu and others." Pang Tong said slowly.

"Gongjin, how sure are you?" Zhang Zhao looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "I am not very proficient in military affairs, and I shouldn't have said anything about this matter, but Zichu and others have already spoken, and Gongjin is still hesitant, so I think he has a plan for this matter."

Seeing that Jia Kui and others were about to step forward to persuade Zhou Yu to quit while the going was good, Zhang Zhao stopped the group of people first. What was there to persuade? So many people had explained the reasons clearly, but Zhou Yu still had no reaction. What was there to say?

Zhang Zhao doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands human nature. What can be said in the current situation? It is obvious that Zhou Yu wants to fight. Winning a big victory is no longer what Zhou Yu pursues. This guy just wants to win. So, there is no point in giving any advice. Just listen to the governor.

Anyway, when it comes to military affairs, Zhou Yu is the best boss. Listen to him, he is always right.

"I don't know whether I can kill Meng Kangbu, but there is no problem in winning." Zhou Yu knew very well that this was an opportunity handed to him by Zhang Zhao, so he did not resist and did not ask anyone else. He just stated his intention directly.

It is obvious that no one supports Zhou Yu this time. It is not that these people are all conservatives, but from a realistic point of view, it is time to stop after winning to this extent, and there is no need to go to extremes.

"Winning is no problem?" Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. With the few broken ships and so few manpower they had in Jiangdong, it would be impossible for them to win.

"The loophole in the self-circulating secret technique?" Sun Ce suddenly realized this. After all, they relied on the self-circulating secret technique to defeat Celian with the army's top tactics.

"Well, if I turn on the self-circulation, the Kushans must turn on the self-circulation too. If I don't turn on the Meng Kang Bu, they can't beat me no matter what." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "But if the self-circulation is turned on, I have the army, and he doesn't have the army. The power released by the self-circulation will make the army explosively improved. This improvement is several times, even dozens of times more exaggerated than the navy."

"How long can you last?" Sun Ce suddenly asked.

"About half an hour. After all, Degui's men are all new, so there must be problems with coordination." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Besides, this thing is the most important evidence to prove that I am alive."

"What if Meng Kangbu holds on?" Li Yan said with a frown. After all, he also participated in that battle and knew to what extent the soldiers could be improved under the condition of self-circulation and dissipation of vital energy. If it were not only effective against hostile opponents with different wills, this would definitely be the best way to improve strength.

"Meng Kangbu is holding out?" Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow. "Degui's camp has a huge amount of heaven and earth energy stored up. If it really comes to that, we will have to use a special military formation, and then fly away and land on the island to wait for Meng Kangbu to come ashore."

The whole place was silent? Some were even stunned. Even Sun Ce was stunned. He didn't know there was such an operation.

"Don't be too shocked. I developed the first flying or air-walking talent." Zhou Yu said calmly, "When I fought with Celian, I realized that I couldn't defeat Celian with the existing system. In other words, even if I learned Celian's system, I could only outlast Celian in the end."

Ever since being hammered by Celian's self-loop, Zhou Yu has been thinking about how to surpass Celian and follow Celian's system. In the end, he will just be another Celian. He can rely on his lifespan to outlast Celian, but that kind of victory will be very boring.

Although he later relied on the earth vein formation, the special Xuanxiang, and the throne of the Divine Land to kill Celian, this was not the final result Zhou Yu wanted, because while fighting with Celian, Zhou Yu was also building his own system, a naval system that belonged to him alone.

Just like the only way to defeat an organization is to use another organization, the only way to take down a system is to use another system.

The secret art of submarine navigation and the talent of air walking are both Zhou Yu's attempts to improve his own system. However, after Celian's death, Zhou Yu's progress in these two areas has become increasingly slow. It may be because he lacks the pressure of dying if he fails to win, or it may be because he is simply slacking off.

"The submarine system is indeed developing rapidly, but to be honest, I think the flying system is the real future. The slow development is partly because there is no reference, and partly because Celian has also explored the flying system, and I don't really want to follow the same path as him." Zhou Yu said with a sigh.

Having said that, with the intelligence from Northern Europe, Zhou Yu realized that the flying system might really be the right route. The submarine system can only serve as an auxiliary to the navy, while the flying system will be the dominant force in the future navy.

This led to Zhou Yu's subsequent exploration. The so-called activating a special military formation and flying away if one cannot win was not an empty talk. Although flying for a long time was not possible, flying for a short time was still possible.

"Although it requires quite a lot of prerequisites, it is generally no problem to fly a short distance. As for the burning cloud gas, Degui's reserves are still quite good. Rather than letting the other party use it to self-destruct, it is better for me to use it for flying." Zhou Yu said calmly, but he had already started thinking about how to hurry up and improve his flight system.

“Ships can fly?” Sun Ce’s mind was already confused. This was too terrifying!

If you have enough fan value, please remember to participate in the event. It is a fair and open lottery.
