Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6640: Turmoil in all directions

Although Szegedi has enough evidence to prove that Zhou Yu was indeed assassinated by their Kushan veteran, there is still a question mark as to whether he died when Zhu He came here, let alone the first round of investigation intelligence. Zhou Yu was dead. In fact, even if it was verified by secret techniques, Zhu Helai would have to repeatedly confirm Zhou Yu's situation.

Compared with Chen Xi's casualness in the Han Dynasty, the pressure brought by Zhou Yu on the Kushan side was far beyond imagination. The death of Zhou Yu was enough for Kushan to reverse many things.

On the other hand, if the news of Zhou Yu's death is false, then it is self-evident what kind of fish the other party wants to catch.

But even with such danger, from the standpoint of the Kushan Empire, they must carefully explore Zhou Yu's current situation, because this time is indeed an opportunity for them.

"Then what should we do next? Once Zhou Yu really dies, the Han Dynasty will definitely issue an edict to us, reprimand us and take the initiative to tear up the armistice agreement. What we worried about before is likely to become a reality in the future." Seger Di looked at Zhu Helai and said solemnly.

"Compared to Zhou Yu living and continuing to traverse the world, causing pressure on us, I am more willing to accept that Zhou Yu was assassinated by our lone soldiers, causing us to be politically passive, because such a situation will not make us die. The Han army is now The situation can only be talked about, but Zhou Yu is still alive, and the other party will come over after he has calmed down," Zhu Helai said calmly, "Go and verify quickly. We will use different methods to verify, and finally make a summary. ”

On the other side, Bankim and others have begun to use some causal things related to Zhou Yu to determine Zhou Yu's situation. However, there is nothing easy to determine. On the one hand, Zhou Yu is not from their Kushan, and on the other hand, Zhou Yu is not from Kushan. On the one hand, Zhou Yu is indeed dead, regardless of whether he died from an assassination or the mechanism of becoming a god, he is still dead.

Therefore, the only conclusion they can draw from the current methods used by Bankim and others is that Zhou Yu is indeed dead, and his death was indeed caused by an assassination.

"Send someone to the place where Zhou Yu was assassinated on Sumatra Island to make sure. This won't work." Bankim repeated it several times and basically determined Zhou Yu's life and death. To be honest, if it were someone else, Bankim would have been able to do it at this time. The conclusion has been drawn, but facing Zhou Yu, Benjim can only say that his morale has been greatly boosted at this time, but he still needs to continue to confirm to prevent Zhou Yu from cheating his death.

When the Kushan Empire began to dispatch capable personnel to determine Zhou Yu's life and death, the Roman Empire also relied on its own channels in the Han Dynasty to obtain news of Zhou Yu's assassination.

"Ah? Emperor Zhou was assassinated?" Severus was a little stunned when he looked at the secret report sent by his own intelligence personnel. Because it was important news, even if it had nothing to do with Rome, it was sent over urgently.

"How is this possible? No matter what goes wrong with that kind of character's defense system, it is impossible for there to be such a big loophole. What's more, the intelligence gathering ability of the Han Dynasty is not weaker than that of Kushan. If the Kushan Empire really carried out an assassination Emperor Zhou's plan will be noticed by the Han Empire as soon as it is launched, and Emperor Zhou will be informed quickly." Perennis slumped in his chair and stood up with difficulty and replied.

"If I remember correctly, Emperor Zhou himself has internal energy that has left the body. Can he be assassinated?" Laitas looked like he had seen a ghost. "The defense system composed of elite guards has the strength of conventional internal energy that has left the body. How is this possible in the core area of ​​our own country? Besides, the Guishan Empire is not stupid, so how could it be possible to assassinate Emperor Zhou at this time?"

A group of Roman generals and generals expressed their opinions on this matter while recovering from their injuries. Generally speaking, the Roman generals and generals basically thought that this matter was a joke and something that was created by someone who was not aware of it. The Roman intelligence system It's really bad stuff.

Anyway, no one believes that a person called the emperor can be assassinated in the street in his own territory. This is simply funny.

"Let the intelligence department strengthen management and don't send us all the big and unfounded news. Speaking of whether Nigel has been letting himself go again recently, it's incredible." Perennis slumped in his chair, relying on his powerful Strength, as well as the secret medicine provided by the Roman Empire, transferred the injuries caused by the immortal gold in the body, reducing the lethality to itself, and then asked with some doubts, what is Nigel doing? Believe any information.

"I also think it's very problematic. Is our intelligence system so bad now?" Su said with a bit of anger, "You dare to send this kind of unverified intelligence to us and let them verify it? Please clarify the cause and effect of this matter for us. We can’t give out all the information indiscriminately. Are you sensible? Your intelligence management has been so unrestrained recently?”

In short, after the Roman Empire received this information, although there was a reason why many generals were injured and lying on the ground, generally speaking, these people did not think that Zhou Yu would be killed so easily.

From Rome's standpoint, not to mention how difficult it would be for the Kushan Empire to negotiate with them while commanding the assassination of Zhou Yu remotely. Just the idea that the Kushan Empire had a plan to assassinate Zhou Yu was nonsense, and there was no hope at all. , at this level, you can assassinate if you want?

The intelligence department of the Roman Empire was ordered by the emperor to conduct a detailed investigation on the matter to determine the cause and effect and not to make casual conclusions. The personnel of the intelligence department were very unhappy, but there was no way. The emperor was right. They did not know the cause and effect. They just received the information. It was urgent news that was explosive enough, so I sent it to Severus as soon as possible.

"What if Emperor Zhou is really dead?" The Senate also received the news. Although after deliberation, they collectively thought that this should be a fake news, or that Zhou Yu was indeed assassinated, but their brains twitched and they wanted to It was something like a torture scheme, but after everyone had an accurate understanding, Pompianus still asked somewhat hesitantly.

"How is that possible? Think about your guards. Think about you wandering around Rome with your guards. Even if someone wants to assassinate you, do you think they can succeed?" Herodian said angrily to Pompeanu. Si pointed, you look down on the empire's defense force and the country's ability to rule the core area. You want to kill such a big boss!

When Pompianus heard this, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Caesar who was eating bread. How can I put it, what Herodian said was correct, but next to him was an ancestor who was a negative example. How could he believe in these brothers? What you said is correct. Maybe the brothers will overturn their heads!

"What are you looking at me for?" Caesar looked at Pompianus very unhappy and said.

"I was just thinking about the assassination of Emperor Zhou. Although Herodian and Papinian said a lot of very reasonable things, standing here, I think it makes sense. The logical content may not be certain. It's the correct content," Pompianus said with a hint of thoughtfulness.

"Just say that I was assassinated. I won't blame you." Caesar said angrily. Although he was eating cake, he still listened to what was necessary. After all, the Senate had nothing to discuss such a big matter. For a moment, Caesar could really not listen to a word he said?

"That's not the case. It's just that if this is true, we need to make plans early. Although the assassination of Emperor Zhou happened far away in the east, its impact is likely to spread to The whole world, and if Guishuang can even assassinate the Zhou Emperor, we must evaluate the opponent's strength," Pompianus said cautiously.

"Then why don't we separate a few people to make a small plan? It's not that we have doubts about our speculation, but it's simpler. What you said does make sense, no matter how slim the possibility is, as long as If it affects Rome, we must pay attention to it." Ulbian said righteously, "Okay, leave this to me and I will take the lead in solving it."

"Okay." Pompianus thought for a moment and agreed to Ulbian's suggestion. Although he always felt that Ulbian wanted to fish, there should be no big problem.

It was already a few days late when the Yuan family received the news of Zhou Yu's assassination, but it was still early when all the forces in the world received the news.

"Seal the news first, don't let Sun Bofu know, let people here, um, let Chun Yuqiong take people to Southeast Asia to make sure, and help the other party stabilize the situation first." Yuan Tan has always maintained a gloomy look, at this moment Seems more solemn.

Compared to Guishan and Roman channels, the Yuan family believed the Han Dynasty news they obtained, even if it sounded incredible. Therefore, when Yuan Tan received the news that Zhou Yu had been assassinated, his first reaction was to go ahead. Block the news, and then send people to help stabilize the situation.

Needless to say about the former, Yuan Tan envied the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but because of his envy, Yuan Tan knew better what kind of monster Sun Ce would become if Zhou Yu died. To be honest, in Yuan Tan's view Among them, it would be better if Sun Ce died and Zhou Yu lived. At least Zhou Yu would be colder and would not go completely crazy. But if Sun Ce lives and Zhou Yu dies, the Sun Ce who is left behind will definitely not be in a rational state. .

"Let Zhong Jian bring people to express condolences, and see if there is anything we can do to help. We can help as much as possible. Our Yuan family and Sun family are natural allies. Whether they are separated by heaven or because of the friendship between uncles, they are destined to We can definitely support each other, and at this time, Jiangdong really needs some help from us, let Zhong Jian take the people there," Yuan Tan quickly ordered to Xun Chen.

Again, Chun Yuqiong's ability may not be very strong, but before the Wuchao incident, Chun Yuqiong could at least be regarded as a reliable general, and this guy had very deep qualifications.

Before the fall of the Han Empire, the qualifications of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan were enough for Chunyu Qiong to straighten his back and speak. And what happened in Jiangdong this time, instead of sending Xun Chen and others there, it would be better to let Chunyu Qiong go there, at least Chun Yuqiong Joan used to be able to really deliver words.

You can say that the old general has problems of one kind or another, but the old general’s qualifications and connections are still very good. With Chun Yuqiong’s qualifications, he can at least stand firm and speak in Jiangdong. Even if he encounters the manpower sent by Chang’an, in the end, At least it doesn't have to be too humble. This is the advantage brought by qualifications.

"Let's start making arrangements here." Xun Chen said with a gloomy face. The fact that Zhou Yu was assassinated made Xun Chen somewhat angry. This kind of anger is like the anger of others.

On the Island of Ceylon, Moncombu received the information about Zhou Yu’s assassination from his naval intelligence network at about the same time. The subsequent information transferred by Vesutiva I also fell into Moncombu’s hands, but Unlike others in Kushan, Meng Kangbu firmly believed that Zhou Yu was not dead.

"Stop your fantasies, continue to build Ceylon Island, and turn the entire Ceylon Island into a fortress." Moncomb directly shattered the information he received, and then ordered to the generals of the Sisi family who also knew the information. , for the news of Zhou Yu's death, Meng Kangbu regarded it as a fake death.

"Don't we seize this opportunity to attack? Zhou Yu is dead!" Bebuto looked at Meng Kangbu with a surprised look on his face. "Now the Han Dynasty Navy has lost its backbone. It is us who take action to recapture Malacca and even Ye Tiaoguo." The best opportunity.”

"Who told you that Zhou Yu is dead? Oh, the information that was sent to me before and was shattered by me? Where is the evidence? Just based on a piece of information that is hard to distinguish between true and false, you are sure that Zhou Yu is dead?" Meng Kangbu looked at Bebu with an indifferent expression. Tuo asked, "How do you believe this information? You must know that I have even received information that I am dead before. This kind of thing may not be credible."

Benbuto was directly stopped by Mengkangbu's inquiry. He indeed only considered that Zhou Yu's death would give them an opportunity, but if he thought about it carefully, it was true that this was the intelligence passed from the front. What was the real situation? , no one knows.

"Do your job well and turn Ceylon Island into a fortress as soon as possible. As a strategic fulcrum, don't worry about Zhou Yu's affairs for now. Don't you really think that a big shot like Zhou Yu will be easily assassinated?" Meng Kang Bu sneered and said, "Don't say it's just trivial information. I won't believe it even if there is detailed evidence. This time I only believe in my judgment."

The captains of the Sisi family were also thoughtful when they heard this, but they were still a little bit cautious about Mengcomb's words. He would not believe it even if there was detailed evidence. Wouldn't he miss the opportunity to fight?

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Just continue to build Ceylon Island. If Zhou Yu is assassinated, the first person who will panic is Gan Ning opposite me." When Mengkangbu said this, he would inevitably think of the two of himself. Life in Minagala Port, but then I suppressed the backlash of this memory.

Mengkangbu scolded the captains under his command, and then sailed his warship to Kunwu Country to meet Gan Ning who was stationed there.

Since the two sides signed the armistice agreement, Meng Kangbu and Gan Ning have seen each other much more often than before. The two sides have not attacked. Meng Kangbu often sails over to watch Gan Ning stationed on the shore. The two sides are far away. Far away and not communicating.

However, this time Mengkangbu drove the ship very close, and Gan Ning commanded the army to control the land-based fort with an expressionless face, ready to counterattack at any time.

"Xing Ba, come and see you at sea." Meng Kangbu jumped off the ship, then walked forward by himself, and then walked halfway and shouted in the direction of Gan Ning. Gan Ning saw this and didn't think anything of it. Hesitantly, he walked in the direction of Mengcombu with long strides.

"Isn't this Meng Kangbu? I thought you wouldn't communicate with me anymore." Gan Ning looked at Meng Kangbu's teasing look, which seemed a bit shameless, and Meng Kangbu also seemed to be used to it. After seeing Gan Ning's actions, he looked at the other party calmly.

"Zhou Yu is dead." Meng Kangbu said slowly after a long while.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gan Ning, who had not received the news at this time, looked at Meng Comb with a sneer and said.

Meng Combo looked at Gan Ning's expression and confirmed certain information, but even so, Meng Combo didn't care to use some false news to shock Gan Ning.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Meng Kangbu handed Gan Ning the information gathered by the Kushan high-level officials. Gan Ning took it directly and then looked through it in front of Meng Kangbu. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Even though Gan Ning firmly believed that nothing would happen to Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but have some doubts after looking at this detailed intelligence record.

When Zhou Yu's death was finally confirmed, Gan Ning couldn't help but feel a little thirsty. He stared at Meng Kangbu, trying to tell something from his expression. Fortunately, he and Meng Kangbu were still very familiar with each other. Moreover, Professor Gan Ning gave Meng Combo his silent words, that is, think twice before acting, so Gan Ning stared at Meng Comb for a while and determined that this was false news.

"You've got nothing to do but fabricate fake news to deceive me?" Gan Ning looked at Meng Combo unhappily and said.

"No, I just came to you to confirm whether this is fake news." Meng Kangbu waved his hand and said, and Gan Ning's complexion suddenly became not so good.

"Humph, I didn't know this news at all." Gan Ning said angrily.

"That's enough." Meng Combo replied with a smile, and then the two of them looked at each other quietly until at a certain moment, before Meng Comb was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly spoke again, "Xing Ba, I won't do it next time." Hold on, thank you for holding on before, but don’t hold on next time.”

Gan Ning looked at Meng Kangbu's words when he turned around, and his back that was almost exactly the same as many years ago. He was silent for a long time. He also knew that he couldn't hold back, but when he really made a move, he couldn't help it.

"You're right, we really can't hold anything back." Gan Ning said softly, but for the world-breaking experts, these low voices were enough for them to hear clearly.

Mengcombu paused for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly left after a few bounces. Just as he said, neither side should hold back next time, otherwise it will be torture for both parties.

Gan Ning walked back to the shore slowly, and the soldiers of Kunwu Kingdom quickly gathered around him.

"General, why did Meng Kangbu come here?" Hu Hao asked curiously.

Up to now, the officers and soldiers of Kunwu Kingdom basically know that Gan Ning and Meng Kangbu have some relationship. It is precisely because of this relationship that Meng Kangbu has not launched an attack on the coastal Kunwu Kingdom since he occupied Ceylon Island. Instead, he often appeared on the sea with a fleet, looking like he wanted to attack, but he has not really dispatched so far.

Most of the time, Meng Kangbu stood at the bow and quietly looked at Gan Ning on the mainland. The two sides did not communicate or take action, just watching.

But it was precisely because of this that the idea of ​​​​annihilating everything along the coast that Kunwu Kingdom had in the past did not happen in reality. To a certain extent, it is indeed thanks to Gan Ning.

"You are really a beast to test me with intelligence. You were so conscientious back then, but how come you have become like this now? I am really impressed." Gan Ning looked unhappy, and then he roughly described the false report released by Meng Kangbu. However, when he was talking, Gan Ning felt a little uneasy, so after he finished talking, he dismissed all the others and began to think about whether to send someone to confirm the intelligence.

On the other hand, Meng Kangbu began to think about the intelligence sent by Kushan. Gan Ning had no idea about this intelligence, which was completely beyond Meng Kangbu's estimation.

If Zhou Yu was really assassinated, then as the most important backbone of the Han Dynasty Navy, and in the face of Meng Kangbu, he should have received the news at the first time. Gan Ning did not receive the news, which was enough to show that the news of Zhou Yu's assassination was false news.

But considering Zhou Yu's status, Zhou Yu's death may bring chaos to the local bureaucratic system, which will lead to problems in the transmission of certain intelligence.

"So, Zhou Yu should have been assassinated, but was faking his death?" Meng Kangbu lowered his head and came to a conclusion based on his own judgment.

[Forget it, I don't care about Zhou Yu. He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, I will never lead the navy to Malacca at this time. I will just build Ceylon Island and create a strategic fulcrum first to ensure that I will be invincible in a short time.] Meng Kangbu thought with some thought, what does it mean to be cautious and prudent? This is cautious and prudent.

On the other hand, Gan Ning was puzzled and arranged for capable people to go to Ye Diao to investigate. He still trusted Meng Kangbu's intelligence system. Moreover, for such a big thing, even if it was a rumor, there must be at least an event carrier. Therefore, Gan Ning felt it necessary to send someone to Ye Diao to confirm it first. Even if Meng Kangbu was spreading rumors, at least it was because of what happened in Ye Diao.

When Gan Ning arranged his elite guards to go to Ye Diao, Ye Diao finally thought of notifying Gan Ning. To be honest, it was thanks to the ceasefire and the opponent was Meng Kangbu. If it were any other time, the opponent would be the type of person who acted swiftly and vigorously. Gan Ning would probably have been killed, and Meng Kangbu might have landed successfully.

"General, here is the urgent intelligence from Chang'an." Liu Shang rushed to Gan Ning's camp with the urgent intelligence from Chang'an. At this time, Gan Ning had already sent people to Ye Diao, so when he received the intelligence, Gan Ning looked a little unhappy. At this point, it was really not a good thing.

"Okay, leave the urgent secret report here, you go out first." Gan Ning said very cautiously, and asked Liu Shang to leave the secret report on the table in the tent, and then read it after the other party left.

There was no mention of anything related to Zhou Yu in the entire urgent secret report, but Gan Ning had already realized that Zhou Yu might have an accident, because if Zhou Yu hadn't had an accident, the real seventh-generation ship should not be taken over by him anyway.

[It's a big trouble. Zhou Yu couldn't have been assassinated. This is too ridiculous. ] Gan Ning's face was a little ugly. The real seventh-generation ship was a good thing. It was impossible to say that he didn't want it. Moreover, the news of Lu Jun's trial voyage was not hidden from Gan Ning. The two were real good friends. In the past, the ships built by the Lu family shipyard had to be tried by Gan Ning first, so Gan Ning was also clear about all the parameters.

But in Gan Ning's cognition, the first seventh-generation ship should be given to Zhou Yu. Even though he, the naval supervisor, was nominally higher than Zhou Yu's Four Seas Governor, and theoretically had the ability to mobilize Zhou Yu, Gan Ning was not the kind of guy who didn't know how to count. After witnessing Zhou Yu's naval combat ability with his own eyes, Gan Ning always had absolute trust in Zhou Yu's ability.

Therefore, for so many years, Gan Ning has never commanded Zhou Yu once. Instead, Zhou Yu commanded Gan Ning from time to time. Gan Ning had no dissatisfaction with this. After all, the navy that has been built for a hundred years may be completely destroyed in one or two hours. Therefore, it is better to give this kind of technical arms to stronger people to command. He can be an adjutant. There is no need to compete for the first or second in this regard. It is meaningless.

It is precisely for this reason that Gan Ning, who originally had some thoughts about the seventh-generation ship, now basically agrees that the first seventh-generation ship is prepared for Zhou Yu.

The naval supervisor agreed, the governor of the four seas did not object, and Liu Bei and Chen Xi were in a noncommittal attitude. Then the ownership of the seventh-generation ship is actually very clear. To be more direct, Zhou Yu is probably waiting for the seventh-generation ship to be launched, and then paint his name on it as the flagship.

In this situation, Chang'an suddenly sent a letter saying that the seventh-generation ship would not be given to Zhou Yu, but Gan Ning would take over. Except for Zhou Yu suffering from an incurable disease, there was probably only one possibility, which was that Zhou Yu was assassinated as Meng Kangbu had said before. At least, Gan Ning really couldn't think of any other possibility.

"This is really a big deal. Can Zhou Gongjin be assassinated?" Gan Ning shattered the secret report sent by Chang'an with a complicated expression. Even he had to consider what kind of war would break out next. Although Zhou Yu's presence was not strong most of the time, just like the navy, if you don't have this thing, you will notice its importance.

"The overall situation may change. Meng Kangbu's next move may directly affect the overall situation in South Asia. And if you think about it further..." Gan Ning looked at the map hanging in his tent with a gloomy face, and his face became more and more ugly. The Malacca that they, the Han Dynasty, had taken from the Kushan with great effort back then was really difficult to defend this time!

I feel so sleepy that I get up ten minutes earlier in the morning and feel like my whole day is wasted.
