404 Undercurrent
In fact, from the very beginning, it is not difficult to see that Liu Cheng is still more inclined to seal the sea.
And if he could, Liu Cheng even hoped to seal the sea as a loser.
In addition to Liu Cheng's habit of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the more important reason is because of the situation in Dazhou at this time.
Today's situation in Da Zhou can be described in four words: intricate and complex, and there are more than a dozen of them standing up on the surface alone, not to mention those mixed in the dark.
How many forces are in it, it's simply unpredictable.
So instead of being involved as a chess player, Liu Cheng prefers to be a behind-the-scenes mastermind.
There is a more important point that although Liu Cheng is now the lord of the four seas.
But Liu Cheng has just won the four seas for a short time, except for the East China Sea, the remaining three seas Liu Cheng does not have too strong control.
Moreover, the major forces have obviously made up their minds not to play with Liu Cheng, if Liu Cheng wants to negotiate trade peace with them in a short time, it is almost impossible to fight them.
And the three puppets under Liu Cheng are obviously not very peaceful guys, Liu Chengzhen is fighting with the major forces, it is difficult to say whether these guys will have any moths, Liu Cheng obviously will not find things for himself.
But at this time, it was difficult for Liu Cheng to say that he wanted to seal the sea, and the reason was that the three seas, to be exact, were on the puppet of the three seas.
It is not difficult to see their attitude from their reactions at the meeting, at this time Liu Cheng said that he wanted to seal the sea, and the three of them would also do things.
In other words, the key to the problem at this time lies in these three guys.
Then some people will say, since this is the case, then why not directly kill these three?
With Liu Cheng's strength, it is not difficult to kill these three, it is just an order.
But the problem is, if you really kill these three, there will be more trouble.
Why did Liu Cheng engage in such three puppet forces before? For fun? Are you kidding!
If it weren't for Liu Chengdonghai's poor background and his inability to control the three seas, he would be so idle that he would find himself this trouble?
If it weren't for these three, the pirates of the three seas would be scattered all over the place at once.
Since there is no way to kill, what else can Liu Cheng do? At present, he can only use this delaying tactic to speed up the pace of control of Sanhai, which is the only tactic that Liu Cheng can use at present.
It's just that Liu Cheng's mentality and thoughts at this time, many people can actually guess it.
This so-called many people, including not only henchmen such as Yan Feng, but also Zheng Lin and the three.
Although Zheng Lin and the others are puppets under Liu Cheng, they are also not fools, let alone blind.
In the past three months, they could not have seen Liu Cheng's erosion of power in their hands, so they knew their own situation better than anyone else.
Once Liu Cheng really seals the sea, it won't be long before all the rights in their hands will be taken away by Liu Cheng.
And when Liu Cheng can control the three seas by himself, their value will drop to the freezing point, and what they will become at that time depends entirely on Liu Cheng's mood.
So, at this point, they began to get a little nervous.
In this case, things will inevitably get complicated this time.

Xuzhou, Ming Imperial Palace.
Zhu Wuduan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, and beside him was the first assistant of his Xuzhou Xiaoming Dynasty.
At this moment, the first assistant of the Xiao Ming Dynasty was thinking about Zhu Wu's report on Liu Cheng's movements in the past few days.
To be exact, it should be something from the envoy sent by Liu Cheng.
"In short, they want us to return the goods and people, and to open trade." The first assistant surnamed Yang ended with this sentence.
Regarding Liu Cheng's request, Zhu Wu just smiled, and didn't even bother to say a superfluous word.
However, on the other hand, Zhu Wu had a lot of thoughts: "It seems that the group of people at sea actually didn't want to negotiate anything at all. ”
Shoufu surnamed Yang seemed to have some understanding of the situation at sea, and he nodded in agreement with Zhu Wu's words.
"It can be seen that they don't have a strong desire to negotiate cooperation, and it's more like going through the motions than negotiating."
"Why is this happening? Why should they send someone if they don't have an idea? Zhu Wu knocked on the dragon chair, his eyes glazed over.
Yang Shoufu quickly responded: "He obviously did this for some people. ”
"Do you want to show it to some people? Who do you think he will be looking at? ”
"One is to show us, he wants to protest to us, even if it is a faint voice.
However, Chen felt that this was not his main purpose, if nothing else, Liu Cheng should have planned to show a few pirate leaders in the three seas this time. ”
"In other words, at this time, Liu Cheng still has no way to completely control the four seas?"
Zhu Wu stopped tapping on the dragon chair, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This is very interesting!" ”

At the same time, similar things were happening in several seaside states in Dazhou.
At this time, the Great Zhou was quite terrifying, although the princes were divided, but each prince had talented and good generals under his command, and no force was easy to deal with.
Therefore, almost Liu Cheng's envoy has just been dispatched, and the forces of all parties basically see Liu Cheng's current situation as a matter of seven, seven, eighty, eight.
And when the situation in Liu Cheng's territory became transparent, the problem naturally followed.
Although all forces do not look down on the four seas, no one wants to have a strong force in the four seas.
After all, those forces are all near the sea, and with such a powerful force behind them, no one can stand that feeling of being on their backs.
Now that this opportunity is in front of them, they will not let it go.
Of course, these forces have no intention of charging into battle on their own, just a pirate, there is no need for this one.
From beginning to end, they didn't put Liu Cheng on the same level as them in the real sense.
In their opinion, Liu Cheng is a snake in the sea, and if he really wants to go ashore, any of them can easily make Liu Cheng a man
Moreover, to be honest, if they really want to charge into battle with Liu Cheng on their own, they may not be able to do anything to Liu Cheng.
They don't have a navy under their command, as for the top generals.
When dealing with Wang Fugui before, the three top generals were dispatched and none of them killed Liu Cheng, so if you really want to deal with Liu Cheng, you must have to pay a lot of money.
No one plans to make this blood, but it's nothing, if you don't have blood, you won't have blood.
Some of those forces are capable ministers, and some of them have ways to make trouble for Liu Cheng without bleeding their own costs!
