Gan Ning's face turned livid when he received the news, and Sun Ce's brain matched Gan Ning's and instantly understood the cause and effect. He knew that he had not only lost the opportunity to severely damage the Qianfan Navy, but also the entire Ye Diao Kingdom.
.
"What should we do now?" All the arrogance on Sun Ce's face had faded away, and only calmness appeared in front of Gan Ning, but his eyes were full of stubbornness.
"If we follow the normal method, we should retreat." Gan Ning looked at Sun Ce and said. In fact, it was not only Sun Ce who was unwilling to give in, but Gan Ning was also unwilling to do so.
"If we fight, we have no advantage now. No matter whether we win or lose, we have no advantage." Sun Ce turned his back to Gan Ning and said quietly. To be honest, Gan Ning had never seen such a rational and calm Sun Ce.
.
"If we withdraw, we will have to be enemies the next time we step into Ye Tiao Kingdom. Kushan's speed is beyond our expectation." Gan Ning thought for a moment and then said. At this moment, Gan Ning
He knew very well that Sun Ce was not as simple as he saw.
"Ye Tiaoguo?" Sun Ce raised the corner of his mouth, "The Tiannan County that I conferred was destroyed before I arrived. This is not in line with my style."
"Then let's fight while we still have a chance." Gan Ning also restrained his usual playful smile and turned to say very seriously. The two guys with bad temperament showed their true nature at this moment.
"Send the order to Gong Jin, go ahead and fight a losing battle. Ye Tiaoguo doesn't need to be left, but Tiannan County must be our bridgehead. Find a way to inform Li Yan, who is still transporting troops at sea, and tell them what happened in Tiannan County
Things." Sun Ce turned around and no longer showed any cynicism, but truly showed the courage of a tyrant.
"Then you have to be prepared for us to lose again." Gan Ning pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand and looked at Sun Ce, the seriousness in his eyes not concealed at all.
"If we only occupy the north of Malacca, our current naval strength is simply not enough to threaten Kushan's Thousand Sail Navy. When the other party locks Malacca, it also means that the areas radiating from both sides of the north and south will be included in the rule. In fact,
You should also understand that the north bank is relatively unsuitable for our garrison." Sun Ce lowered his head slightly, showing a rare calm look.
The southeast-northwest direction of the Malacca Strait is destined to encounter a greater impact on the northern peninsula. This is why the Malay Peninsula on the north shore of the Malacca Strait is also very large, but the Han army has to station further north.
As for Ye Tiao Kingdom, that is, Sumatra Island, it is relatively more suitable for stationing. The problem is that Sumatra Island is to the south of the Strait of Malacca. To be precise, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra Island form the Strait of Malacca from the south to the north.
This is also the most painful place for the Han army. There is no way to station in the north near the Strait of Malacca. The places to station in the south need to bypass the inspection range of the Kushan Navy in the Malacca area. A few people like Gan Ning and Sun Ce have divine horses.
That's all, but if the large army wants to pass, they really need to fight with the Kushan Navy.
In fact, Zhou Yu once told Sun Ce that there was another place where he could be stationed, and that was the Malay Peninsula, the Strait of Malacca, and the third largest island in the world just east of Sumatra, Kalimantan. In this era, this island became Borneo.
Or Poli.
However, the difference from the Malay Peninsula is that even in later generations, this place was vast and sparsely populated. Of course, this was not the biggest reason why Zhou Yu was unwilling to move there. Zhou Yu had been squatting in the north of the Malay Peninsula, more because he wanted to
Create a passage through the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Compared with other plans, this is a plan that can truly change the Han Dynasty's strategy towards Kushan, and it does not take long. Even if the population here is not large, it only takes two to three years.
It can be done.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yu divided his troops, stationed all the way to the north, tried to open up the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and went all the way to Sumatra, which took away some of Kushan's energy.
"We must stand firm in Ye Tiaoguo. Without that side, we can't get too close to Malacca in the north. It takes too long to go by land. Just like this time, it took so long to just mobilize troops, and Kushan itself is stationed
In Malacca, guard the north and south sides." Sun Ce said through gritted teeth. Kushan, who was guarding the Strait of Malacca, could advance and retreat freely.
"The size of Sumatra is enough for our army to turn around, and a very important point is that the output of Sumatra is enough to support its army. Even if Kushan can land everywhere, the inner central area is enough for us to deploy. No wonder, you did it before
I made a pledge to Ye Tiaoguo that every inch of mountains and rivers would cost me blood." Gan Ning pondered for a moment and said.
"I didn't think so much at that time. I acted according to my intuition first, and then I found Gongjin to understand the reason. We must not lose Tiannan County." Sun Ce said with a chill in his eyes, "While the dust has not settled yet,
Yes, we still have a chance."
"Have you fought with all your strength?" Gan Ning looked directly at Sun Ce. He could see the stubbornness and consciousness in Sun Ce's eyes. "Maybe we will suffer heavy losses this time."
"No, Gong Jin will not suffer big losses twice." Sun Ce's eyes exuded strong confidence, which was even more confident than when he described himself.
"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, come on. I have suffered many losses here. I finally have a chance to change my strategy. I can't just bow my head like this." Gan Ning nodded slowly,
Accepted Sun Ce's suggestion.
Although Gan Ning had the intention to give up at the beginning, unlike Sun Ce, Gan Ning's mind was very clear. If he fought him again at this time, the Han Dynasty would already be in a passive position. Victory was actually very far away from them, but Sun Ce made it clear.
After the situation, Gan Ning had no idea of retreating. If he was unwilling to give up, Gan Ning had already lost here several times before Sun Ce!
"I don't know if we can take back Tiannan County, but as long as we have this hope, we must fight. Only if we gain a foothold in the south can we be on the same starting line as Kushan."
Sun Ce looked at Gan Ning holding out his right hand with an excited look on his face.
"Okay, I'll take a gamble with you!" Gan Ninglang smiled and reached out to pat Sun Ce's palm.
In the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, at the location of the Isthmus of Kra, Zhou Yu could not help but sigh when he received the message sent back by Sun Ce using the letter eagle. He knew that sooner or later it would be like this.
The attack on Ye Tiaoguo was in Zhou Yu's plan, but Zhou Yu was never ready because there is a Strait of Malacca between Ye Tiaoguo and Zhou Yu, and the Kushan navy is still there. More importantly,
It's the Kushan navy squatting in Malacca. There is no difference from squatting directly in Ye Tiaoguo. The smallest distance is a few dozen miles, what is the distance?
Therefore, Zhou Yu had been holding back and did not take action. As a result, Sun Ce went up to accomplish this step. Zhou Yu was directly chased away. The supporting personnel and troops had not yet arrived, so he could only do his best. It can be said that as long as the Han army is fast enough,
Arriving at Ye Tiao Kingdom before Ye Tiao Kingdom was completely wiped out by the Kushan navy, there would still be some trouble in this matter.
However, Selian was different from the previous Qiuri Que and Lochte. After the former smoothed out his ideas, he executed it vigorously and resolutely, without giving the Han Dynasty any time.
At this time, Zhou Yu estimated that Li Yan and others had just circumnavigated Borneo and had not yet arrived in Sumatra. Although the pro-Han forces in the Ye Diao Kingdom would not be completely wiped out by Guishang, they should still be killed in the 70s.
Eight fell.
It can be said that Zhou Yu's plan has been completely scrapped at this time, especially since Guishang posted an Anmin notice, saying that it would be one-ten-tax tax, and forcibly dividing the land, which had begun to occupy the hearts and minds of the people of Ye Tiaoguo.
Under this circumstance, the advantages of the Han Dynasty have further declined.
Theoretically speaking, the most correct way is to abandon the original strategy at this time, rely on the Han Dynasty, slowly spend time, learn from Kushan, and surpass Kushan. But looking at Sun Ce's secret letter, Zhou Yu sighed
, still agreed to Sun Ce’s plan.
Yes, the advantage is already fading, and people's hearts have begun to lose. But if we take action now, there is still a chance to fight back. On the contrary, if we retreat now, the Han Dynasty will be in Ye Tiaoguo, no, in Tiannan County.
People's hearts will be lost.
"I think Guishang should feel very proud at this time. The opportunity to really harvest the fruits has come." Zhou Yu whispered to himself softly, with a stern smile on his face. Just as Sun Ce said, it is not the last moment yet.
There is still a chance for a desperate counterattack.
"Find a way to inform Li Yan of the current situation and let him wait for the opportunity to land in Tiannan County at any time. It is too easy for Guishuang to win. The one who wins first may not be considered a winner, but the one who wins last is considered a winner." Zhou Yu's eyes flashed across his eyes.
With a flash of cold light, this was the Han Dynasty's last chance to capture Tiannan County.
Zhou Shan nodded when he heard the words, and immediately went out to inform all the messengers, asking them to prepare the letter eagle to inform Li Yan, while Zhou Yu himself stayed in the camp to make the final analysis.
[Cessilien, I have never wanted to fight you at this time. After all, the Kushan Navy has exposed a lot of things that do not seem to be prepared for naval battles. It makes me think about what you want to do. As a
It is impossible for the creator to make such a mistake, so what is hidden behind these things?] Zhou Yu thought silently, and then pulled out a letter from the side.
I saw that there were written on the paper the secret technique of cloud gas reserve, group defense style, cloud gas solidification channel, and the secret technique of cloud gas tide. Zhou Yu's analysis was densely written on the bottom, and the last four secret techniques all had an arrow pointing to the middle.
