At the time of the fourth watch, Zhang Shixing had a full meal and took a hundred cavalrymen to sneak out of the south gate of Zuofu City and went to Wang Ziying's camp.

The camp of Wang Ziying's army did not set up wooden fences and dig trenches, but only placed some horses in front of the camp, perhaps because the Ryukyu army knew little about the methods of camping and training the army, so they did not prepare.

Zhang Shixing ordered people to throw ropes and hooks, and pulled the horses away, and with a shout, he led the hundred cavalry into the camp at a gallop.

Wang Ziying was asleep, heard the sound of horses' hooves, hurriedly ran out of the tent to check, only to see the camp fire everywhere, his sergeants scurrying like headless flies, a group of cavalry from Zuo Shicheng galloped back and forth in the camp, cutting his sergeants to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.

Wang Ziying shouted angrily: "Come on, gather the team quickly." ”

At this time, Wang Yingzu ran to him with sleepy eyes and asked, "Father, what happened?" ”

Wang Ziying raised her hand and gave him a slap, which made him look like gold stars, and he suddenly woke up most of the time. Wang Ziying shouted at him angrily: "Idiot, didn't you see that the people in Zuoshiki City have been killed, you quickly gather your team to resist the enemy army." ”

Wang Yingzu rubbed his eyes, looked into the distance, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, and said to his father: "Father, this is really a hell, isn't that Zhang Si's kid, wasn't he hit by an arrow last night, why didn't he die?" ”

Wang Ziying suddenly realized: "This kid is really cunning, deceived us into falling to the ground, but took advantage of our sleep to come to steal the camp and rob the village, they are few, don't worry, you quickly gather the team, surround them, don't let one slip through the net." ”

Wang Yingzu hurriedly gathered more than 1,000 of his subordinates, lined up the team, held a spear, and slowly pressed towards Zhang Shixing.

Although Zhang Shixing took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and killed them by surprise, when the day was bright, the enemy found that they were not many in number, and gradually calmed down and surrounded their small group of cavalry from all directions.

The cavalry under Zhang Shixing said to him: "Zhang Jiaotou, we only have more than a hundred people, how can we deal with thousands of enemies, it is better to retreat to Zuofu City and make plans." ”

Zhang Shixing said firmly: "No. Our previous sneak attack has killed and wounded hundreds of enemy troops, causing the enemy to be terrified, and now if we flee back to Zuoshiki City, the enemy's morale will be greatly boosted, and we have few soldiers, and Zuoshiki Castle will definitely not be defended. It is better for us to deal with the enemy here, and when the army led by Ba Zhi arrives, we will be able to defeat the Wang father and son together. ”

After that, Zhang Shixing urged the war horse and rushed towards the enemy formation, Kankan came to the front of the formation, he opened his bow and arrows, and shot towards the enemy formation, only to hear someone in the enemy formation scream, and someone fell to the ground with an arrow.

Zhang Shixing turned his horse's head and swept away.

The hundred horsemen behind him also did the same, shooting arrows at the enemy formation. It's a pity that they didn't shoot well and didn't shoot a few enemies.

Seeing this, Wang Yingzu waved the command flag, ordered his subordinates to raise their shields, protect their bodies, and continued to slowly press Zhang Shixing and others.

Zhang Shixing fought and retreated, slowly leading Wang Yingzu and others to Zuofu City.

When he saw the city wall of Zuoshiki, Wang Yingzu found that the city gate was wide open, and the city head was empty, and he was overjoyed, and waved the flag again, and ordered his subordinates to rush to Zuofu City immediately.

At this moment, suddenly there was a burst of artillery fire at the head of the city, countless soldiers stood up, arrows rained down, and Wang's soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Wang Ziying shouted: "Withdraw quickly, we have been tricked." ”

Wang Yingzu hurriedly led his troops to retreat, and at this moment, there was another burst of artillery, and the ambush soldiers were everywhere.

At this time, Zhang Shixing also led the cavalry to return and kill back, Wang was defeated, and the soldiers scattered and fled.

Wang Yingzu said to his father: "Father, let's quickly flee back to the capital Shuri." ”

Wang Ziying said calmly: "Don't panic, we can't look back." According to today's situation, our army is defeated, Shuri will not be able to hold it, and Ba Zhi will definitely chase after him, and then my father and son will have no way to retreat, and there is really no place to bury him. It is better for us to flee elsewhere and give Shuri to him, for he will enter the city in a hurry, and he will not come after me, but we will go elsewhere and rebuild Shuri, and Xu Tu will rise again. ”

Wang Yingzu said: "It's still my father's far-reaching thoughts. ”

So the father and son fled to the southeast, and Zhang Shixing followed closely behind. Ba Zhi led his army to kill Shuri Castle, the capital of Shannan Province.

After chasing for more than ten miles, Zhang Shixing gradually distanced himself from the brigade, and there were only Wang Ying's grandfather and son in front of him. Wang Yingzu turned around and saw that Zhang Shixing was only followed behind, so he discussed with his father, and the two turned back to kill, one left and one right, brandishing a long knife to kill Zhang Shixing.

Zhang Shixing reined in the war horse, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, hitting Wang Ziying's horse's left eye.

Seeing this, Wang Yingzu hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked to Wang Ziying's side, helped him up, and asked eagerly, "Father, how are you?" ”

Wang Ziying's thigh was pressed by the horse, and she grinned in pain, but the father and son had a deep affection, and he pushed Wang Yingzu and said, "Don't worry about me, you go quickly." ”

It was too late, it was too late, Zhang Shixing had already urged the horse to come closer, and put a knife against Wang Yingzu's throat and said: "Wang Yingzu, you are in vain as the clan of Shannan Kingdom, but you are flying high and domineering, trying to usurp the throne, I will do the right thing for heaven today, except for you, this scourge." ”

So saying, he raised his sword and cut it off.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yingzu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Zhang Si, you are a foreigner, you listen to slander, but you have to be nosy, I died too unjustly today, and I will not let you go as a ghost." ”

Zhang Shixing was stunned when he heard this, stopped the knife in mid-air, and asked: "I listened to the rumors, I saw with my own eyes, you fought against Ba Zhida at the dock, is it fake?" ”

Wang Yingzu said: "What you see with your own eyes may not be true. ”

Zhang Shixing sighed and said: "You go carefully, if what you say is reasonable, I will let you let your father and son live." ”

Wang Yingzu said: "What you said that we want to usurp the throne must be Naba Zhi's words, do you know that it was my father who gave up the throne of Shannan to the father of King Chengtian?" ”

Zhang Shixing was stunned when he heard this: "I really don't know this. ”

Wang Yingzu sneered: "So why did we come to usurp the throne, these are all rumors released by Na Bazhi. Just because he was ambitious and unwilling to be subordinated, our father and son fought with him often in order to protect the royal family, and if you had not interfered in the docks that day, we would have been able to eliminate the harm to the country. ”

Zhang Shixing didn't believe it, and argued forcefully: "Then why do you want to organize your own mission and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Wang Yingzu said: "You don't know anything. Nabazhi father and son controlled the government all the year round, they sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, exchanged for a lot of iron weapons, secretly trained soldiers, built weapons, and vainly wanted to annex Shannan Kingdom, so our father and son reorganized the mission in order to sabotage their trade, prevent them from smoothly changing back iron weapons, and endanger the country. ”

After Zhang Shixing heard this, cold sweat trickled down his back, if it was really as Wang and his son said, then he was used by Ba Zhi and his son and became an abusive, but it is really difficult to distinguish which is true and which is false.

When Wang Yingzu was stunned, he hurriedly dragged his father Wang Ziying out from under the dead horse, hugged his war horse, and then flew on the horse, and the two rode a horse together and fled to the southeast.

Zhang Shixing watched his father and son flee, hesitated, and did not chase down, after all, this was the Ryukyu Civil War, he didn't want to participate too much, as for Huang Zhan's plan, it was not in line with his usual philosophy, and he was very resistant in his heart.

At this time, more than 100 cavalry under his command arrived, and when they saw Wang Ziying's mount lying on the ground, they asked, "Zhang Jiaotou, what about Wang Ziying's father and son?" ”

Zhang Shixing sighed, pretending to be infinitely regretful, and said, "Although I shot one of their horses, I let them escape. ”

And all the people sighed, so they took the saddle and hitch of the horse, and used it as a trophy of war, and returned the way they came.

Ba Zhi led his army to chase and kill Wang's deserters all the way to Shuri City, the capital of Shannan Kingdom.

Located in the middle of Shuri Castle, the Sannan Palace occupies a vast and magnificent area, and although it cannot be compared with the Daming Imperial Palace, it stands out among the surrounding low stone houses.

Ba Zhi entered the city, ordered people to surround the palace, and personally led a hundred people into the palace, and came to the main hall, Shannan King Chengtian saw that he was holding a long knife, and the blade was constantly dripping blood, so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he asked tremblingly: "Ba Zhi according to the division, you are holding a blade, killing into the palace, what do you want?" ”

Ba Zhi snorted and said, "Your Royal Highness, your uncle Wang Ziying led his troops to attack my Zuofu City and was defeated by me, did this disappoint you?" ”

Chengtian said embarrassedly: "According to what the Si said, that Wang Ziying has always been flying and domineering, controlling the government, Lone has long wanted to get rid of him, and he is grateful to share Lone's worries according to the Si." Now that the position of prime minister of Shannan is vacant, is it interesting to follow the division? ”

Ba Zhi bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, how can I dare to take on this great responsibility?" ”

Chengtian was shocked when he heard this, walked around the hall a few times, and finally made up his mind and said to Ba Zhi: "Ba Zhi according to the division, if you don't want to take up the post of prime minister, Lone can give the throne to you, but you have to be kind to the Lone King family." ”

Ba Zhi smiled and said, "What did Your Highness say?" I have no talent to serve as prime minister, let alone covet the throne. ”

Hearing this, Chengtian was a little puzzled and said: "Ba Zhi Press, since you don't want to be the prime minister and don't want to take the throne, then what are you leading the troops into the palace for?" ”

Ba Zhi said angrily: "We are a small country in the Ryukyus, but we are divided into three, and we are constantly attacking, so that the lives are ruined and all industries are withered. I think that Your Majesty will abdicate, entrust the state affairs to me, take refuge overseas, and live in leisure, and there will be no more Shannan, Shanbei, Zhongshan and other countries in this world, wouldn't it be better? ”

Chengtian nodded and exclaimed, "Ba Zhi has great ambitions and wants to unify the Ryukyus." ”

Ba Zhi bowed his hand again and said: "Don't dare to be, may Your Highness be fulfilled." ”

Chengtian squinted, stared at Ba Zhi and said, "Is this true? As long as I leave the Ryukyus and live overseas, will you let me live? ”

Ba Zhi slashed off the corner of the imperial case with a knife, and said categorically: "Your Highness, if I have a lie, I should be like this." ”

Chengtian was still not at ease, and plucked up his courage and said: "Ba Zhi Press, aren't you worried that after I take refuge overseas, I will borrow soldiers and regain the throne?" ”

When Ba Zhi heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Your Highness, now the strongest person in the overseas countries is the Great Ming. When the Ming Dynasty was alive when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, our three Ryukyu countries were constantly conquering, and he only issued an edict to persuade him, and he did not send a single soldier to come. Now that Emperor Yongle has ascended the throne, he has usurped the throne of his nephew Emperor Jianwen, and the domestic situation is still unstable, so how can I help you restore the country. As for the king of Joseon, Yi Chenggui, he has just usurped the Wang family's country, and the top priority is to stabilize the people's hearts first, and he will not send troops to help you. Finally, he said that Japan, which is currently a struggle between the North and the South, is even more self-conscious, and will never send troops to help you. So I advise Your Highness to say a word, let's die of this heart, and honestly find a country that can take you in for the rest of your life. ”
