Chapter 175: Uncontrollable Forces
"Ziyi is here, sit down and talk."
Cheng Pu put away his blade, glanced at Huang Gai, who was lying on the table with some disdain, and beckoned Tai Shici to sit down, while he put away the ancient book and put it back in the bookshelf.
"Ziyi, when did you arrive?"
After Tai Shi Ci sat down, he heard Cheng Pu ask himself like this, and helplessly glanced at Huang Gai, who was smashing his mouth, and said
"The old general on the way back, Ziyi is here today."
"This Huang Gongfu, Ziyi, you just came to Yueyang today and pulled you to drink like this, it's really big-hearted, what Jiang did, Ziyi should know it."
Cheng Pu kicked Huang Gai who was lying on the table, but Huang Gai only babbled a little, and he didn't react, but his whole body fell to the ground with a limp of sleep.
"General Huang Lao has not seen Ziyi for a long time, it is inevitable that he is a little excited, no wonder General Huang Lao is in this matter, as for Jiang Gan, Ziyi already knows something."
When he said Huang Gai, Tai Shici was still a little helpless, but when he mentioned Jiang Gan, his tone obviously became a little different.
Cheng Pu was keenly aware of the change in Tai Shici's tone, frowned slightly, wiped his nose with one hand, and asked
"What? Ziyi, do you have a reason with Jiang Gan? ”
Regarding the fact that Tai Shici and Jiang Gan are young classmates, not only Zhou Yu doesn't know, but Cheng Pu also doesn't know.
This kind of trivial thing is extremely small, and it is estimated that even Jinyiwei should not have any intention to investigate it carefully.
Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly, and told Cheng Puhe about his and Jiang Gan's youth, without hiding any details, how to tell Zhou Yu, how he said it to Cheng Pu now.
After listening to these things, Cheng Pu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed and said
"Ziyi, this matter is a little difficult for you."
From Tai Shi Ci's expression when he talked about Jiang Gan, Cheng Pu could hear that the friendship between Tai Shi Ci and Jiang Gan when they were young should have been quite deep, otherwise, if it was an ordinary friend, Tai Shi Ci would definitely not be so sad.
"In this matter, the governor has already enlightened Ziyi, Ziyi now understands that no matter how difficult it is to give up with Jiang Gan, but now, Jiang Gan has become a courtier of Dongxun, and Ziyi will only be incompatible, the consequences of such wishful thinking, Ziyi has seen it, and General Cheng does not have to take it to heart."
It's simple, Cheng Pu can't see it, no matter what Tai Shici says, but he is not a guy who is very good at cheating, his demeanor and tone when he speaks make Cheng Pu deeply see it, and Tai Shici is still sentimental.
However, since Tai Shi Ci said so, Cheng Pu didn't understand the meaning of his words, in this matter, he had nothing to continue to enlighten Tai Shi Ci, to no avail, Tai Shi Ci had already informed himself through these words.
But.
"Zhou Dudu's enlightenment? How could Governor Zhou know about this? Could it be Ziyi, before you left, Zhou Dudu explained to you what Jiang did? ”
Cheng Pu grasped another point in Tai Shici's words.
Jiang Gan is a spy of Dongxun, and Cheng Pu only found out after Huang Gai came to Yueyang, and Jiang Gan secretly passed a letter to the high-level of the Jingzhou Navy Army, thinking that the so-called high-level who defected to Dongxun should be Zhou Yu himself.
And Tai Shici was sent on this mission, and he shouldn't have known too much about this matter in advance.
Could it be that Zhou Gongjin trusts Tai Shici? Got all the things done with Tai Shi Ci in advance?
The reason why Cheng Pu thinks so is because if Zhou Yu really does this, he will have some overstepping.
Zhou Wangye's plan for this task, each step of the policy plan and what needs to be done next step are strictly confidential, even Cheng Pu, the main person in charge of this link this time, only got some information from Zhou Dunyi after Huang Gai led the army to Yueyang.
Before Huang Gai came, the secret order he Cheng Pu received was just to rush to Yueyang overnight to wait for the specific arrangements for the next step, and other than that, there was no news coming out, and he Cheng Pu didn't know anything about his next task at that time.
Zhou Yu, even if he is the governor of the navy and the second rank of the official, he will definitely not get too much information about this plan.
And it stands to reason that if Zhou Yu gave Tai Shi Ci the task, it should only be right to let Tai Shi Ci go to Yueyang quickly and cooperate with Huang Gai.
Zhou Yu, if he really told Tai Shici all the information he knew in advance, he would have crossed the line.
And the most important point is how Zhou Yu learned that Tai Shici and Jiang Gan were young classmates and friends.
This is the information that Jinyiwei has not found so far, what is the way and ability of Zhou Yu to be able to find this kind of information?
However, what Tai Shici said next made Cheng Pu retract his idea, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
"The old general on the way back, the matter of Jiang Gan was what the governor told me on Junshan Island, and as for the fact that Ziyi and Jiang Gan were classmates and friends, I also told the governor at that time."
Tai Shici's words did not have any intention to hide, because as early as some time before arriving in Yueyang, Zhou Yu told him that if he saw Cheng Pu in Yueyang, there was no need to hide him from him, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai in Yueyang were two veterans who could be completely trusted in this mission.
"Wait, Junshan Island? The location of Junshan Island is only two hours away from Yueyang, could it be that Zhou Gongjin is Yueyang who came with Ziyi this time? ”
Cheng Pu is still a veteran, and he captured important information from Junshan Island in Tai Shici's words.
Regarding the recent transfer of the Jingzhou Water Division, Cheng Pu obtained some files left by the Jinyi Guards from a Jinyi Wei Qianhu who was good friends with him.
One way to help Yueyang, the other way, to the north to block the Beihai Division.
The candidate who rushed to help Yueyang all the way, Jinyiwei was not included, but now there is nothing worth inclusing, isn't this Tai Shici.
But the other person who was responsible for going north to block the Beihai Division was Zhou Yu, the governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, who personally went out, which was the information left by Jinyiwei for the record.
But where is Junshan Island?
Junshan Island is not far from Yueyang, an ancient building in Yueyang County, known as Yueyang Tower, when standing on the top of Yueyang Tower, you can completely see a touch of scenery of Junshan Island, in this case, how can Junshan Island be how far away from Yueyang?
If Zhou Yu went north, Junshan Island would have completely deviated from his northbound route, and Zhou Yu would definitely not do this kind of thing that delayed the fighter.
Since Zhou Yu categorically will not make it, then there is only one last possibility left for the explanation.
It was not Zhou Yu who led the Jingzhou Sailors to the north, but someone else.
This is a smoke bomb, this is a smoke bomb that Zhou Yu threw at outsiders, and this smoke bomb even deceived his own people.
Cheng Pu didn't know if Jin Yiwei was also involved in helping Zhou Yu play this smoke bomb, but what he could be sure of was that except for Zhou Yu and Jin Yiwei, other outsiders now thought that Zhou Yu himself was now staying in the battleship of the Jingzhou Navy Division going north.
Instead, he came to Yueyang.
Seeing Cheng Pu's eyes looking at him intently, Tai Shici pursed his lips and chuckled, and then nodded silently, acquiescing to Cheng Pu's question.
", what does Zhou Gongjin want to do? He is a naval governor, deceived everyone, and made everyone think that he is now on the way north, what is the result? As a result, he has now quietly come to Yueyang, Ziyi, do you know what this guy Zhou Gongjin wants to do? If he has any other plans, Ziyi, you must explain to the old man in advance, old man, now that the prince's plan has not been completed, he Zhou Gongjin must not add to the chaos. ”
Now at this juncture, Zhou Dunyi's plan for Dongxun is in the most critical link, and the person selected by Zhou Dunyi to be in charge of this important link is Cheng Pu.
How could Cheng Pu not understand what Zhou Dunyi meant, the reason why Zhou Dunyi chose himself to be responsible for this matter was not because of his stable personality, sophistication and prudence, so since he understood the reason why he chose himself, Cheng Pu's heart was to resolutely prevent anything extraneous from happening in his own link.
It's like now that Zhou Yu made a false move and suddenly came to Yueyang.
If someone else did this, Cheng Pu would directly order that person not to act rashly, and even Cheng Pu would order that person be secretly detained until the end of the mission.
But Zhou Yu's reputation made Cheng Pu's first reaction to him be to choose to listen to the reason for Zhou Gongjin's false move, and then decide whether to agree with Zhou Gongjin's idea.
No matter what kind of governor Zhou Gongjin is in Jingzhou, the official rank far exceeds himself, he is now carrying the king's order, in front of Zhou Dunyi, the generals and colonels within two generations of the southern empire have to sell Zhou Dunyi a face, this is everyone's acquiescence.
Listening to Cheng Pu's roar, Tai Shi Ci lowered his head a little embarrassed, he was hesitating, although Zhou Yu had told him in advance that he could completely trust Cheng Pu and did not need to hide anything from Cheng Pu, but when he thought of Zhou Dudu, he threw a smoke bomb with all his might, deceiving everyone, if it weren't for the ventilation of Junshan Island, I am afraid that even after arriving in Yueyang, Tai Shi Ci didn't know that Zhou Yu was hiding in his ship.
Zhou Yu's thoughts, as early as the small talk on Junshan Island, mentioned a lot to Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci knew, but could he really tell Cheng Pu in front of him the reason for Zhou Yu's false move?
Cheng Puta, will he accept Zhou Dudu's plan again?
Taking a deep breath, Tai Shici sank down, his eyes were concentrated, he looked at Cheng Pu seriously, opened his mouth slightly, and said
"Zhou Du Du came to Yueyang just to make a breakthrough."
"Breakthrough? Zhou Gongjin, what do you think? ”
Cheng Pu was a little shocked, although Tai Shici didn't say much, but just saying the three words breakthrough, how could he Cheng Pu not understand?
Now the most discussed and quarreled in the court of Jinling is to choose a place on the three-way battlefield to tilt the strength, so that the front becomes a breakthrough, as the so-called breaking ten fingers, it is better to break off a finger first, concentrate on repelling the enemy on the first front, liberate the Nanli army arranged on the front from the white-hot battlefield, and then use this to kill other battlefields, and finally break all the way, and in the end, the power of the three roads gathered together to completely repel all these enemies.
This is a general policy, and it is also a tactical policy that has been formulated from top to bottom of the Nanli Empire.
"Zhou Gongjin, do you really think so?"
Cheng Pu frowned, this matter is not laughable, especially from a guy like Zhou Yu who represents the strength of the army.
The supreme commander of the three-way front, Zhou Dunyi, the old commander of the Bai family, and Bai Qi, the real power controller of the new army, the three of them are actually three military masters whose level is not too different, so the Jinling side will continue to argue endlessly without a thorough conclusion.
It is precisely because the level of Zhou Dunyi and the old marshal of the Bai family is in two completely different directions of tactics, and Bai Qi is between the two, so the civil and military officials will argue vigorously, each has different optimism, and each is not convinced, so it will be like this.
As for Zhou Dunyi, the old marshal of the Bai family and Bai Qi, the three of them still have no opinion on the argument about who is the breakthrough point of the endless debate between the DPRK and China.
Anyway, no matter who chooses to break through in the end, the three of them will not have any complaints.
After all, the other party's level is well known, and the three of them are confident that the other party can successfully complete the breakthrough task after being selected as a breakthrough.
But although the three of them thought so, the generals under the three of them didn't think so.
Zhou Dunyi's Cheng Pu and Huang Gai here are all trying their best to make Jinling choose Zhou Wangye here as a breakthrough, after all, for their own prince, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are real trust.
And what about Sima wrong in Baiqi.
The coalition forces in the direction of the Central Plains, although the task of the new army in the south was to resist pressure at the beginning, and to resist the pressure to the other two roads in the south to free up their hands to help them, but for their own boss, Sima Cuo had nothing to say, so Sima Cuo was also using Li Chengqian's identity to let many officials in the DPRK stand here with them, speak for Bai Qi, and let Bai Qi take on this great responsibility.
Bai Qi himself is also the one who cares most about this among the military masters of the three fronts.
Zhou Dunyi and the old marshal of the Bai family, the purpose of this battle situation is obvious, because this battle situation itself is the overall situation laid by the Sword Saint Wind for the countries.
However, the purpose of Bai Qi is the same as the two, but compared with the purpose of the two, there is still another layer of deeper purpose in it.
Eliminating the embarrassing position of the three southern states in Nanli is the biggest reason why Bai Qi needs to desperately want to show his merits in this big battle, and it is also the reason why Bai Qi is willing to take the position of captain of Tiance Mansion.
It is also the reason why Bai Qi was activated by Jiangling and returned to Jinling to train the new army, and he did not visit the king of Nanyue for a long time.
In order to accomplish this goal, Bai Qi must shine in this great war, play a beautiful record, and convince everyone in the DPRK and China to be convinced of him.
Tai Shici nodded, since he figured it out, then he would talk to Cheng Puhe and not make any reservations.
"Zhou Gongjin's decision should not have been approved by Jinling, right?"
Cheng Pu pondered for a while and then asked Tai Shici.
At the current Jinling court meeting to discuss and decide which front is the breakthrough, Zhou Yu's actions are very important.
First of all, the Jingzhou Navy under Zhou Yu is the largest of the armies that have not yet been mobilized in Nanli, and at the same time, they are also one of the top armies in combat power.
At the same time, the Jingzhou Navy has always been the trump card of Nanli.
As the supreme commander of the Jingzhou Water Army, coupled with the background of the Jingzhou Water Army, the imperial power and the orders of the imperial court, the role that the Jingzhou Water Army can play will fade a lot, Zhou Yu made this move at this juncture.
It means that he, Zhou Yu, on behalf of the Jingzhou Navy, put all his bets on Zhou Dunyi in this war.
Zhou Dunyi is the breakthrough that he Zhou Yu is optimistic about.
And made this move, Jinling has not yet had any corresponding news, which can only explain one point.
That is, when Zhou Yu made this decision, he had not filed it with Jinling at all, whether it was Jinyiwei or His Majesty, they didn't know anything about Zhou Yu's actions.
Zhou Yu is playing with fire this time.
Seeing Tai Shici nodding his head again at his question.
Cheng Pu's heart suddenly twisted.
Although Zhou Yu's approach is what he has always wanted, for Zhou Yu, it is like walking on the tip of a knife.
As the commander of a military force and the governor of the second rank, Zhou Yu made a decision without notifying the emperor in advance, which was a naked challenge to the emperor's power.
No matter what the result is, Zhou Yu will leave a thorn in the heart of Emperor Li because of his actions.
A thorn that can never be erased.
In the eyes of any sovereign, the presence of any uncontrollable force in his own country is a challenge to his own monarchy, but for this kind of challenge, no matter how broad-minded the monarch, the order to deal with this challenge will only be one.
Refrigerate Zhou Yu.
Cheng Pu swallowed his saliva, who is Zhou Yu, who climbed to the fierce man of the Jingzhou Navy Governor before he was thirty years old, this kind of person also has the hope of becoming the future general of Nanli, but in this matter, it is inevitable that it will leave a thorn in the heart of Emperor Li, in this way, it is extremely unfavorable for Zhou Yu's future development.
However, Zhou Yu is not stupid, after listening to Tai Shici's words, Cheng Pu's locked brows eased.
Since the candidates for going north were arranged in advance, and they came to Yueyang alone, and did not mobilize any of the remaining Jingzhou sailors, the matter would not be too big.
Your Majesty, too, is reasonable.
Although he bet on Zhou Dunyi and used Yueyang as a breakthrough and did not pass through Emperor Li, Zhou Yu's move would not have much practical impact.
There are only 3,000 sailors, which have been recorded, and now there is just one more Zhou Yu, and the remaining Jingzhou sailors are still staying in Jiangling Water Village.
"Zhou Gongjin, did you talk about his specific thoughts?"
Cheng Pu rubbed his temples helplessly, since Zhou Yu had such an idea, then what reason did he have to refuse, at least in his opinion, Zhou Yu's decision would be extremely rich in terms of the prince's plan, and there was nothing missing at all.
Tai Shi Ci was immediately dumbfounded.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but at this point, Zhou Yu hasn't explained anything to him, and Zhou Yu doesn't know about any of his next steps.
It can also be said that Zhou Yu is possible, but he has not yet figured out the specific arrangements for his next step, of course, no matter what Zhou Yu is like, he is too Shi Ci to know anything.
Seeing that Tai Shi Ci did not have any response after he said this, Cheng Pu frowned again and looked at Tai Shi Ci, of course, after seeing Tai Shi Ci's somewhat troubled expression, Cheng Pu understood.
It seems that Ziyi doesn't know what Zhou Gongjin is going to do.
"Okay, but Ziyi, Zhou Gongjin is there, you still let Zhou Gongjin come here to meet with me in the past two days, what kind of medicine is sold in that guy's gourd, the old man still has to know, if Zhou Gongjin doesn't agree, Ziyi will tell him, if he doesn't come to talk to the old man, the old man will immediately order him to be imprisoned, until the war ends with the prince, and then release him, do you know?"
Cheng Pu said this to Tai Shici a little viciously.
Zhou Gongjin, a junior, Cheng Pu is the same as Huang Gai, he only admires in his heart, but unlike Huang Gai, Cheng Pu still has some disdain for Zhou Yu on the surface.
After all, Zhou Gongjin has reached his current status at such a young age, and Cheng Pu's face is still a little unbearable, although he has long recognized Zhou Yu in his heart.
Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly in embarrassment, scratched his face, and replied
"Okay old general, Ziyi remembered, these words of the old general, Ziyi will say them as they are and listen to them."
Cheng Pu snorted coldly and nodded, then kicked Huang Gai, who was lying on the ground and was drowsy, and continued to speak to Tai Shici
"Okay Ziyi, you hurry up and take Huang Gongfu, this drunk, out of the house, if the old man guesses correctly, Jiang Gan, that guy, is coming to visit you tonight, if you don't go out now, you will go out and bump into Jiang Gan later, then you will be speechless."
Tai Shi Ci nodded vigorously, and then helped up Huang Gai, who was lying on the ground with his whole body slumped, and after a while, he picked Huang Gai on his back, carried Huang Gai on his back, and went out of the dark room along the iron door, and his steps were a little shaky and he stepped up the steps.
