Chapter 770: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf
"You are really cruel. You even played the edict of repentance!" Chen Xi said quietly as he looked at Guo Hao lying on the bed.
"Don't say that. I just gave you some extra tasks. Why are you so depressed?"
Guo Hao said with an awkward smile that in order to restore order, he did not let anyone go.
"Tell me, what do you want from me today? Why do I have to come to your house to talk to you?" Chen Xi gave Guo Hao an unpleasant look, but he also knew that this was necessary.
He didn't pay attention to it before, but now it's no wonder that Confucius promoted the ritual system throughout his life. The collapse of rituals and music is indeed extremely harmful to an empire.
A relaxed environment must be accompanied by a reasonable system, otherwise it will only go to extremes.
"Nothing. I'm about to launch an expedition to the east, so I wanted to let you know in advance." Guo Hao said with a smile.
"Are you kidding me?" Chen Xi's blood pressure instantly soared.
"No, I increased revenue and reduced expenditure. I have already reduced expenditure yesterday, but increasing revenue is urgent." Guo Hao said with great sorrow.
"Has the situation come to this point?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows. He was not good at guessing people's minds, but there were plenty of people in the court who could do it. There was no reason to let the situation collapse.
"There are not enough places!" Guo Hao shook his head. "Li Shimin and his men have begun to grow gradually, but the war on the western front cannot be started for a while, so we must let some people move around."
Chen Xi also sighed. There were too many political teams that could be built.
Roughly speaking, there may be five or six political teams, and basically each one can maintain the current situation. This has led to a continuous increase in contradictions and a surge in everyone's inward-looking emotions. If this continues, it may really evolve into a dispute between party factions.
"I understand. I will adjust my next plan!" Chen Xi sighed.
"The trafficking business you kicked out earlier is indeed a good idea. Goryeo and Japan are now at loggerheads with each other, so let's do it in the name of Goryeo this time!"
"Well, Gan Ning, Arakawa, and Otakemaru have already taken people to do it. Gao Xianzhi cooperated very well. They should be here by now!" Guo Hao nodded.
Driving a tiger to devour a wolf and creating conflicts for yourself is a very simple move.
While the two were discussing the specific details, Gan Ning and Gao Xianzhi had already connected.
"You mean you want me to really rob and play the role of a pirate?" Gan Ning looked at Gao Xianzhi strangely . When he came here, he heard that the King of Goryeo was doing quite well, so why did he want to harm his own people right away?
"They are just the remnants of the uncooperative gangs. I have wanted to deal with them for a long time!" Gao Xianzhi explained. They were the remnants of the Goryeo nobles and they all ignored him.
It took him a long time to get these people here, and he sold out his interests for this. However, as long as he could catch them all in one fell swoop this time, there would be no discordant voices inside Goryeo.
"You are quite cruel." Gan Ning looked Gao Xianzhi up and down, but since the other king didn't care, he would care even less.
Are you kidding? He is the boss of the Jinfan thieves, and this is just a return to his old business for him.
Another thing is that although Goryeo was already a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, or even a subordinate region, it was still a barbarian land to him, and he had no psychological burden no matter how many he killed.
After making an agreement with Gao Xianzhi , Gan Ning went back directly to organize the camouflage fleet.
The purpose this time was to disguise themselves as Japanese pirates. Of course he couldn't use regular troops, so he captured a large number of pirates on the spot and used them as his subordinates.
They were all pirates roaming between Japan and Goryeo. They were either Goryeo people or Japanese people. Both sides stuffed a lot of contraband into the middle.
To Gan Ning, who was accompanied by Arakawa, Otakemaru and others, these pirates were nothing but scum who could be crushed.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day they had agreed upon.
"It's such a nice day today!"
On the appointed day, Gan Ning stood on the deck, looking at the land in the distance and said.
"Sir, we are ready and can launch the attack at any time!" Otakemaru said respectfully.
Unlike Arakawa, he had a strong sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty had allocated a special area for them to recuperate and recuperate, and their welfare benefits were very good. They were happy to work for the Han Dynasty and even began to regard themselves as Han Dynasty citizens.
As for Arakawa, being deprived of his godhood by Guo Hao is an indelible pain in his heart. The former master of breaking through boundaries is now stuck in the state of great perfection of internal energy leaving the body. Of course, he has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
Moreover, the subsequent divine position containing the power of the ocean was directly bestowed by Guo Hao to Gan Ning. This was also the reason why Gan Ning was able to quickly break the boundary and become one of the governors of the maritime fleet.
"Got it. Get ready. Don't go too fast. Just pretend that it's a merchant ship approaching!" Gan Ning rarely looked joking, but was very serious.
Gan Ning's eyes were as calm as water. He had already gotten into the state. Even though most of the people he was commanding were a group of second-rate pirates, he was still very serious.
The lookouts at the Goryeo port suddenly saw a small dot appear on the sea level, followed by a ship, and finally the entire fleet appeared in their eyes.
"Hey, there's a ship coming!" The lookout called out to the people below. "It's not going very fast. It looks like a merchant ship. There aren't many of them."
"Oh~, I can make a lot of money again today!"
Everyone who heard the news was happy. Merchant ships usually meant profits and were an opportunity to make money for anyone who made a living in the port.
They did not consider other possibilities because they had a mysterious confidence in their own strength. They were confident that their port fleet was invincible.
"Well, it's easier than I thought! Since the other side has no reaction, just keep moving forward!" Gan Ning gave the order calmly.
"Get ready to throw stones, it looks like we'll have a good harvest today!" Gan Ning sneered as he looked at the unguarded port. Among the few robberies he had ever had, this one could be considered an easy one.
After the ship came close enough, Gan Ning decisively began to give orders.
"Attack, the main fleet must not stop throwing stones, smash all the stones to empty the cabin space, and use it all to transport treasures!"
Following Gan Ning's order, several boulders as big as heads were thrown towards the port, and the port, which was unprepared, instantly became a mess.
"Haha, raise the pirate flag and let them know who we are!"
Gan Ning looked at the port in chaos and issued his final order.
"The vanguard fleet is ready for battle, follow me!"
"Ocean, obey my call!"
Gan Ning directly activated his legion talents and the authority of the Lord of the Sea, which greatly increased the speed of his vanguard fleet and sprinted towards the port at the fastest speed.
