Chapter 144: Assassination of Yoshihisa Shimazu
Liu Suojing didn't bother to greet the Nine Ghosts Jialong, and the army began to retreat before it reached Naha City. The name Jiang Huanyan is enough to make him frightened, the despair when facing Lu Xinghai is still fresh in his memory, and the current Jiang Huanyan was taught by Lu Xinghai himself, and he is still the kind that is better than the blue. Now that he has no obvious advantage in the strength of his hands, he is afraid that if he really wants to face Jiang Huanyan, he will win less and lose more.
After five days of rushing back, Liu Suojing finally returned to the vicinity of Xiandao and sent someone to investigate, only to find that there were no Qi army warships around.
When I returned to the island, I asked the second master who stayed behind to find out that Jiang Huanyan did not attack Xiandao at all, but only sent troops to surround it for two days, and then sent someone to send back a letter, which wrote: Although the coalition army has many soldiers, it may not be able to take Naha City, and it is easy for me to take Xiandao now. This time is a lesson, if there is a next time, I will personally lead the Great Qi Navy to level your first island. At the end of the letter, Jiang Huanyan was written in three big characters.
Liu Suojing only felt a chill in his heart after reading it, he was really carried away by interests, and he didn't think about who occupied Naha, Jiang Huanyan was not an ordinary foreign force, behind him was the strongest Qi country among the five countries on the mainland.
Don't look at Jiang Huanyan only brought out fifty warships this time, but in Jiaozhou Military Port, there are as many as 100,000 sailors of Qi State, and there are no less than 500 warships, which does not include three-story warships. These forces alone are already more than all the forces in the entire Ryukyu Islands combined, how can I still provoke him.
Liu Suojing immediately took a letter of resignation and asked someone to send it to the Nine Ghosts Jialong, saying that Xiandao was being attacked by Jiang Huanyan, and he wanted to stay on Xiandao to defend himself, and he had no time to participate in the siege of Naha.
"Third brother, if I don't follow you out, I don't know that your fame is so big, just one letter scared Liu Suojing to hide on the island, and he didn't dare to go to Naha to help the Nine Ghosts Jialong anymore." After knowing Liu Suojing's dynamics, Jiang Wan'er looked at Jiang Huanyan with a look of adoration.
Jiang Huanyan smiled slightly: "This Liu Suojing is different from other pirates, he was originally from our Qi country, and he saw the strength of our navy when he was in Jiaozhou, so he can deter him." If it were other pirate forces, it wouldn't work that way. ”
Shi Luosheng asked, "Ssenjima has been solved, our next target is Bukit on Daito Island or Shimazu Yoshihisa on Anmi Island?" Their strength is about the same, and this time they all brought out seventy warships, and there are at most thirty warships left behind in the base camp. ”
Jiang Huanyan thought for a while and said: "Let's fight Anmei Island first, Shimazu Yoshihisa and Liu Suojing are both outsiders, and their roots in the Ryukyus are unstable. Shimazu Yoshihisa was born in the Wa Kingdom, he came to the Ryukyus with his father Takahisa Shimazu when he was a child, and after the death of Takahisa Shimazu fifteen years ago, the head of Anmi Island also became Shimazu Yoshihisa. ”
Although this Shimazu Yoshihisa is nearly fifty years old, he has no heirs under his knees, and several of his main generals are also fighting openly and secretly in order to succeed the next leader. If you can kill him, Anmi Island will have no backbone. To the people of the island, we are outsiders, and Shimazu Yoshihisa is also an outsider, and it doesn't matter who rules at all, as long as it doesn't affect their lives. ”
Liu Zixuan had some doubts: "Does His Highness mean to kill Shimazu Yoshihisa first, and then attack Anmi Island?" However, Shimazu Yoshihisa has more troops than us, and we may not be able to win a direct war with him. ”
Jiang Huanyan nodded: "Yes, you must kill Shimazu Yoshihisa before you can fight Anmei Island." As long as he is alive, the people of the island will still consider him the leader. If we take Anmi Island first, and when Shimazu Yoshihisa counterattacks, we will be trapped on the island, and our own safety will not be guaranteed, let alone the siege of Naha. ”
Shi Luosheng thought for a while and said: "To kill Shimazu Yoshihisa, it may not take the two armies to fight, third brother, you still lead a large army to surround Anmei Island, and Zixuan and I will assassinate him." ”
When Jiang Wan'er heard this, she immediately stopped: "Assassination? No, that's too dangerous, Shimazu Yoshihisa has seventy warships around him, and it's not easy for you two to assassinate him. ”
Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the third brother is surrounding his lair here, and he must be in a hurry to come back." Zixuan and I waited for him in a small boat nearby, the sea is not as good as the land, we dived on the boat at night, and after we succeeded, we jumped into the water and dived, not to mention that they couldn't find it, even if they found it, we wanted to jump into the sea, who could stop them? ”
Jiang Wan'er was still worried: "Having said that, it's still not safe, in case ......there is really an accident, no, you can't go." Jiang Wan'er didn't dare to imagine what would happen if there was an accident.
Jiang Huanyan also asked worriedly: "Assassination is indeed a way, but are you really sure?"
Shi Luosheng nodded firmly.
Jiang Wan'er hurriedly said: "If you have to go, then I will go too, since you are so sure, it should be no problem for me to have more, and my martial arts will not drag you down." ”
Shi Luosheng had no choice but to smile bitterly: "It's okay for you to go with us, but then you have to listen to me completely, and you can't act without permission." ”
Jiang Wan'er was full of joy when she saw Shi Luosheng agree: "I didn't listen to you once." ”
Jiang Huanyan shook his head and continued to lead the army towards Anmei Island.
Half a month later, Shimazu Yoshihisa received the news and hurried back to Anmi Island from Naha Castle.
That night, a small boat was moored on the sea, and Jiang Wan'er on the boat asked, "Brother Shi, are they here?" What boat is Yoshihisa Shimazu on? ”
With Shi Luosheng's current eyesight, he can see things in the dark as in the day: "They are coming, and the handsome flag is hanging on the warship at the front, and we will dive towards them now." ”
Shimazu Yoshihisa has been fighting all this time, and now that he heard that the nest was attacked, the opponent was Jiang Huanyan, who was known as the first person in naval warfare, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, and he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed at the moment.
Suddenly, a spy came outside the door to report that a warship in the rear army was on fire, and after Shimazu Yoshihisa asked about the size of the fire and casualties, he didn't pay much attention to it, and asked people to hurry to extinguish the fire, and at the same time pay attention to fire safety.
The spy turned to leave, but he didn't know that two figures had been following him behind him, and he had come to the door of Shimazu Yoshihisa's room.
Shi Luosheng gently pushed open the door, and Shimazu Yoshihisa inside asked vigilantly: "Who is so big......"
Before he finished speaking, the figure rushed to Shimazu Yoshihisa's side at a very fast speed, and put a broken knife on his neck: "I'm sorry, Shimazu chief, Shi wants to borrow your head." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Shimazu Yoshihisa to reply, and directly cut off his head.
"Wan'er, I've got it, withdraw quickly."
The two of them followed the way they came, quietly jumped into the sea again, and dived back into the dinghy just now, as if nothing had happened.
After waiting for a while, Liu Zixuan, who had just set fire to the rear army, also returned, and the three of them quietly disappeared into the sea level.
The assassination was so smooth, not because the naval army on Anmi Island was not heavily guarded, but in the vast sea, no one would have thought that someone would be able to sneak up from the bottom of the sea to assassinate the leader.
It was not until noon on the second day that the sergeant on the ship found that Shimazu Yoshihisa had not appeared, and no one answered when he knocked on the door. A few attendants boldly pushed the door open, only to find that the chief's head had been cut off.
