Pan'an looked back, the person who came was his own Changshi Pingyuan, this person was thin and tall, with no flesh on his cheeks, small triangular eyes, and he knew at a glance that he was a treacherous person, but he was very happy with Pan'an.

Seeing that it was the plain, Pan'an walked down the high platform quickly, stepped forward to hold the plain's hands and said, "The long history of the plain, how do you know that our country can win a great victory in this battle." ”

Pingyuan said with a smile: "King, firstly, my country is blessed by the Divine Stone, and secondly, I came to send someone to send me a letter according to the division of the feather land, the head of the country, and the three divisions of the name and the protector have already been contacted, and we should cooperate with the inside and outside to attack Zhongshan, so our army will definitely be able to win a complete victory." With that, he handed a letter to Pan'an.

Pan'an was overjoyed when he saw it, and said with a pause: "Quy Nhon City has been trapped for several months, and today I finally heard good news. The long history of the plains, then when did they agree with us to send troops? It doesn't say in this letter, but what about the messenger? Bring it to me to see. ”

Pingyuan said: "Because Quy Nhon City has been besieged several times, the person who delivered the letter is a sentry from Zhongshan Kingdom found by Yudi according to the division, and the sentry was afraid of being discovered, so he handed me the letter and went back. He brought a message from Yudi according to the division, saying that it was agreed that in three days, the camp of Zhongshan Kingdom would be attacked together inside and outside the city. ”

Pan An frowned, and said with some worry: "I'm afraid this is not the enemy's strategy." ”

Pingyuan said: "The king doesn't have to worry, this person is a relative of Yudi Presse, what he said should be credible, and the handwriting of this letter is also from Yudi Press, this must be true." ”

Pan An said: "If that feather land voted for Zhongshan Country according to the division, wouldn't I have thrown myself into the net?" ”

Pingyuan said: "King, I can't take care of that much at this moment, the grain and grass in the city have been exhausted, and I can't support it for a few days." Moreover, the enemy outside the city is digging up a water source, and after a few days there will be no water to drink, so won't we sit back and wait for death? Yudi has always been loyal to the king, and the king should not be suspicious. When leading the army to attack, fight to the death with the enemy. ”

Pan'an thought for a while and said, "You will lead the troops out of the city and attack the enemy army with Yudi Sanji." ”

Ping Yuan said with a smile: "The king said that I am a minister, how can I lead the troops to fight, and it is the minister's duty to urge grain and pay taxes." Besides, the three directors only obeyed the king's command, and it was in vain for others to go. The king can rest assured and go, I will hold the city, if the war is unfavorable, the king will retreat to the city, and we will think of a plan to retreat from the enemy. ”

Pan An nodded helplessly: "It seems that it has to be like this." ”

Three days later, Pan'an led a thousand elite soldiers out of the city and rushed into the Zhongshan army camp under the mountain, only to find that it was an empty camp. "Pull the horse and go.

Suddenly, all around the artillery in the sky, ambush soldiers, Zhongshan army from all directions to kill the generals, Pan'an itself is also a brave general, shouted, brandished a long knife, met up, after a rush to kill, finally out of the encirclement, rushed up the mountain, there were only a dozen people left, fled to the city in a hurry, but only saw the city gate closed, he shouted to the city: "Open the city gate quickly, your king is back." ”

But I heard a sneer from the head of the city, and the plain appeared behind the city wall, and shouted to the below: "King, I have returned to Zhongshan Kingdom with Yudi and other three divisions, and Ba Zhi, the governor of Zhongshan Kingdom, has given me this city, I am now Guiren according to the division, please go back, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”

Pan'an was so angry that he trembled all over, and scolded at the head of the city: "Pingyuan, you villain who sells for glory, I trust you in vain on weekdays, you dare to harm me, aren't you afraid that the divine stone will punish you?" ”

After hearing this, Hirahara couldn't help laughing and said: "Pan'an, you are so stupid, a broken stone I found from Amami Island is just to cheat you two dollars to spend, but you worship it as a sacred stone, it is really ridiculous." Will your divine stone tell you about today's defeat? ”

Pan'an was so angry that he shouted under the city, but there was nothing he could do, Pingyuan ordered the soldiers defending the city to release arrows, and the whizzing arrows rained down, and he shot a cadre of soldiers next to Pan'an, and now he is really alone.

But after all, Pan An had been the king of Quy Nhon City for more than ten years, and some of the soldiers still sympathized with him, so they stole open the city gate and let him in.

After Pan'an entered the city, he jumped off his horse, followed the stone steps, and rushed straight to the city, Pingyuan saw him rushing up, and was taken aback, and just wanted to run, Pan'an chased after him, and killed him with a knife.

At this time, the army of Zhongshan also rushed into the city, and the army of Shanbei laid down their arms and surrendered.

When Pan'an saw that the general trend had gone, he ran to the high platform in the city, and when he came to the platform, he scolded at the sacred stone: "I am dying today, will you be alone?" With that, with tears in his eyes, he swung his knife and slashed the sacred stone, cutting the stone into stone chips, leaving two deep cross marks.

Zhang Shixing led his troops to chase to the high platform, only to see that Pan'an had fallen next to the Divine Stone, killing himself, he looked at the cross split marks on the Divine Stone, frowned, sighed and said: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." Then he ordered Pan'an's body to be buried alive.

Ba Zhi seized the northern part of the mountain, ordered Huaizhong to lead the army to camp in Quy Nhon City, and led the army back to Putian City, the capital of Zhongshan State.

After the banquet, Si Shao gathered his henchmen to discuss how to conquer Shannan and unify Ryukyu. Ba Zhi introduced Huang Zhan to Si Shao, and recounted his praise and painting in the process of conquering Shanbei Kingdom, Si Shao was impressed by Huang Zhan, full of praise, and rewarded many treasures.

Si Shao asked solemnly: "Master Empty Seal, now that there is only one country left on this Ryukyu Island, Shannan has not yet been returned, what do you think of the measures?" ”

Huang Zhan clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good." Now the king is as easy as exploring the bag to get things, but the trapped beast is still fighting, if the Shannan country fights to the death, many kills and injuries, it is not beautiful, and it should be outwitted. ”

Si Shao smiled: "Master mercy, how to outwit, please make it clear." ”

Huang Zhan said: "The poor monk heard that Wang Luhai, the king of Shannan, is a young man and likes to collect rare treasures, presumably there are many treasures in the Zhongshan Palace, and the king can take out one or two pieces and exchange them with him for the Jiashou River in Shannan." This Kategawa River is a spring outside the castle of Osato, and the people around it depend on it for drinking water. After we get the Jiashou River, we will not allow the people of Shannan to use it, and only allow the people of Zhongshan to draw water, and the people of Shannan will inevitably resent Wang Luhai, and their country will not attack itself. ”

After hearing this, Si Shao nodded again and again, and said, "It's a good plan, but what kind of treasures can be given to him, so that Wang Luhai can agree to exchange?" ”

Ba Zhi thought for a moment and said: "Isn't there a colorful screen sprinkled with gold fruit in the palace, just use this to exchange with them, and it will definitely be possible." ”

After hearing this, Si Shao said with a sad face: "This thing is the most precious thing in the world, and I am ready to dedicate it to the Ming Emperor in exchange for canonization." I think it's better to choose other treasures. ”

Ba Zhi said with a smile: "Father, as the saying goes: reluctant children can't trap wolves." Let's give him this thing first, and when the Shannan Kingdom is destroyed, won't this treasure still return to my father's palace? ”

Si Shao laughed and said, "Look at me old and confused, I haven't figured it out this layer." Okay, I'll use this thing to exchange Kategawa with Shannan Province. ”

The plan was decided, and Ba Zhi ordered Cheng Fu to take this thing to Shannan to exchange for Kategawa.

Cheng Fu brought the golden color screen to Dali City, met Wang Luhai, and the gift was completed, Cheng Fu said: "King, the king of my family Sishao is willing to form an alliance with your country forever, and specially ordered me to offer treasures to show my sincerity." After that, he ordered the servants to offer the colorful screen sprinkled with gold fruits.

This frame of gold color screen, about six feet high, about one zhang wide, three screens enclosed, embedded gems, natural texture to form a pair of ink landscape paintings, surrounded by gold silk nanmu as a frame, carved out of a variety of figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects patterns, paste gold foil, the end is magnificent, dazzling, the world is difficult to find.

After Wang Luhai saw it, he hurriedly stepped off the throne, looked at it, couldn't take his eyes off it, rubbed it for a long time, and couldn't put it down.

Ruan Gao, the chief Shi beside him, tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Then Zhongshan Kingdom will give me this thing, and there must be a plan." ”

Wang Luhai came back to his senses and said to Cheng Fu: "The alliance between the two countries should be, but what is the intention of your king to give me such a precious thing, otherwise this king will not accept it." ”

Cheng Fu said: "The king of my family said that the king of Shannan has always been friendly with my country, and there is no other way to send this screen." However, given our large population and the difficulty of drinking water, I would like to thank Shannan Province for handing over the Kategawa River outside Osato Castle to our country so that our people can go here to draw water. ”

Wang Luhai looked at Ruan Gao, Ruan Gao shook his head, and Wang Luhai said: "Jiashou River is the lifeblood of drinking water for our people, how can it be handed over to your country, but for the sake of friendship between the two countries, this king allows the people of your country to go here after sunset to draw water for drinking." ”

Cheng Fu bowed and said: "Thank you for the success, Weichen will return to my king." With that, he withdrew from the palace and returned to China to resume his life.

After Ruan Gao saw him leaving, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said to Wang Luhai: "King, the intention of Weichen is that he can't agree to him, so he will return this screen, reorganize his army to fight, and fight to the death with them." ”

Wang Luhai smiled contemptuously and said, "Ruan Changshi, wake up, what are we going to do with others?" They have destroyed the country of Shanbei and occupied the country of Zhongshan, and together they have the strength of the two countries, with seven or eight thousand troops and a population of more than 100,000, how can we resist? Since they are willing to form an alliance, why don't we go along with the river and agree to each other, besides, the Kategawa River is not given to them, and it is much better for the two countries to share it than to go away in vain, so why not? ”

Ruan Gao sighed and said: "That Si Shaoxin annexed Shanbei Kingdom, internal instability, we have the same hatred of the enemy, although there are few people, it may not be impossible to defeat him, no matter how bad it is, we ask for help from outside, borrow troops from Korea, Daming, and Japan, and there is still a glimmer of life." Now that our country has made an alliance with each other, this is only for a while, and it will be destroyed in the end, and they are killing people with soft knives, king. ”

Wang Luhai didn't listen, and ordered someone to blast Ruan Gao out, calm down and watch the screen carefully.

A few days later, Wang Luhai's sergeants came to report, saying that the soldiers of Zhongshan occupied the Jiashou River and did not allow the people of Shannan to go to draw water, and only allowed the people of Zhongshan to go.

Wang Luhai was furious when he heard this: "How can this be reasonable, when this king promised them that they could only come to fetch water after sunset in Zhongshan Kingdom, how could they dare to occupy my Jiashou River?" ”

After that, he ordered 500 elite soldiers, killed out of the city, and came to the foot of the Jiashou River, only to see that the spring was surrounded by many people from Shannan Kingdom, and dozens of soldiers from Zhongshan Kingdom were holding knives and guns to surround the spring, preventing them from entering to fetch water.

Wang Luhai stepped forward and shouted angrily at those Zhongshan soldiers: "Why do you want to stop our people from drawing water, I told you Cheng Changshi that if you Zhongshan people want to draw water, you must do it after sunset, not let you occupy this place." ”

The soldier glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Cheng Changshi told us that the king of Shannan coveted the golden color screen we sent, and had already exchanged the Jiashou River to our country, and now this place belongs to our country, so we occupy this place. ”

When the people of Shannan on the periphery saw Wang Luhai, they knelt down and begged: "King, please return the screen to them, our whole family depends on this place for water, and we really can't afford it for ten cents per bucket per person." ”

Wang Luhai said angrily: "This Cheng Fu is simply nonsense, where is the other person, let him come out, we will confront him face to face." Get out of here. ”

Those soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom laughed at him: "Everyone knows that our Cheng Changshi is a humble gentleman and never speaks falsely, I think you have taken the treasure of our country, do you want to repay the debt?" ”
