God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"General, are we just going to let them go like this?" Standing on the land, looking out at the ocean, and watching the ships gradually leaving in the distance, Muhle turned his head to look at Qiulique and said calmly.

"When you asked me in this tone, didn't you already have an idea in your mind?" Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Qiu Lique looked calmly at the ship that was gradually going away, and gave a calm reply.

"Are they really leaving this place because they are under pressure and can't bear it?" Muheli thought of the information he spread in the camp and the public pressure he created after he came back. It seemed to be particularly useful, but in fact the effect was just that.

In essence, he was simply taking advantage of the conflict between the North and the South and the discrimination of Southerners against Northerners in order to bring about an outcome that was favorable to him and make him immune to the losses and penalties of defeat.

"They have been here for more than ten years. Can a few words really disturb them? That's overestimating myself..." Qiu Lique shook his head and sighed.

As a northerner, especially one of the five branches of the Yuezhi, a real Yuezhi, Qiulique was actually somewhat reluctant to see Arvind leave.

Although the North is relatively weak and the South is very powerful in the navy, under his restraint and balance, the power between the two sides can still be maintained, so as to prevent the South from dominating the navy.

You know, Qiu Lique was once one of the royal families. Even though their branch has declined now, it cannot change his status.

Even if the current royal family becomes the lineage of Yan Gaozhen, there won’t be much difference.

Yan Gaozhen established the Kushan Empire and built a new royal power, but he would not be harsh to these branches of the royal family. After all, the relationship between the royal family and the people was still there, so there was no problem in mixing with them.

However, due to his own strength, the threat to the royal family is very small, and as for the position of emperor, it is even smaller.

In a sense, their existence itself is dependent on royal power, and only with the help of the power of royal power can they be more effectively exerted.

Qiu Lique himself is an extremely outstanding commander with a very good overall view. Naturally, he also knows the gap brought about by the existence of northern and southern forces in the navy.

This gap, to a certain extent, weakened the unity and strength within the navy. With the departure of Arvind and others, the Strait of Malacca was completely returned to the south. Not only did the strength not decrease much, but it actually increased significantly.

But this only applies to the Strait of Malacca. From a big picture perspective, this means that the naval power will further tilt towards the south, making it easier to build a balance between the north and the south.

But is this kind of balance really what Emperor Vasudeva I wanted?

"That is to say, compared to being driven away, they prefer to leave on their own. Now that they have left here and returned to the north, what can they get?" If the mission is not completed, there will naturally be a corresponding price to pay. Muheli knows this very well.

Especially since these people come from the north, the corresponding tasks are simpler and more unpretentious.

It is enough to just stay in this place, watch over this place, prevent any accidents from happening here, and leave information about northerners in this place.

Although these northerners are considered somewhat arrogant, it is undeniable that this behavior has indeed curbed their expansion and accumulation to a large extent and weakened the speed of their strength growth.

Now that these people have left, they have completely given up this advantage. After returning to the north, they will naturally be sanctioned by the people in the north.

The contradiction between the North and the South has never weakened... "Who knows? Anyway, I don't know. The relevant military transfer orders have never passed through my hands..." Qiu Lique recalled this and although there was some confusion in his words, he did not ask too many questions, or even explore.

The orders that could bypass him as the fleet commander and directly reach the people in the north were either from the elders in the north or from His Majesty the Emperor.

No matter which one it is, he cannot resist it, so he just needs to stay where he is and complete his task.

Such a large naval fleet, built in such a remote place, without the supervision and attention brought by the Northern Army, who knows what these Southerners will do.

"No transfer order from the general?" Muhlai understood the reason immediately after hearing this. He then restrained his thoughts and looked at the Malacca Naval Base, saying thoughtfully, "It is a good thing that they left, but should we also be prepared? The festival is coming soon, and all the fleets will be there by then. How about celebrating it?"

Hearing this, Qiu Li looked at Muhelai meaningfully, then nodded to show his agreement.

The apparent reason is to celebrate the festival, but the actual reason for doing so is probably not that simple.

The many fleets combined naturally included many fleet commanders. With the departure of the northerners, the remaining people were all southerners.

During this process, if he really wanted to come up with some ideas, it is likely that even he, the fleet commander, might not be clear about them.

Whether taking this opportunity to increase the number of fleets and ships, or to use this opportunity to undermine his power, it is a good opportunity.

But.

For Qiu Lique himself, this kind of thing is no big deal.

Whether he has power or not, he is, after all, the commander-in-chief of the Strait of Malacca, stationed in this place extremely far away from the capital of the empire.

You don't have to think too much to know what Emperor Vasudeva I is thinking.

No matter what these people do, as long as they cannot change the Emperor's orders, his position will remain stable.

After all, in the navy, in addition to these southerners, there is another family that makes His Majesty quite wary.

Thinking back to Cecicelian, who built the Kushan naval system, Qiu Lique felt a little fearful in his heart.

Even though Cecicelian was very old and there were even rumors that he was about to die, Qiu Li did not trust him at all and did not even take him seriously.

As long as Cecicelian lives one more day, there will always be an undefeated king on this vast ocean, a very feared existence.

Based on this alone, he must continue to hold the position of commander of the Strait of Malacca until the end of Cecilien himself. (End of this chapter)
