"Your Highness, it is expected that in ten days, the Nine Ghosts of Osumi Island will be the first to reach Naha Castle, and after half a month, the other three armies will also arrive one after another, who shall we ambush first?" Liu Zixuan stood on the deck and asked Jiang Huanyan.

Three days ago, the four of them quietly left Naha Castle with fifty warships, preparing to attack one of them before the four-way coalition forces could meet.

Shi Luosheng first analyzed: "Liu Suojing of the Four Roads Army is the weakest, the smallest territory, and the fewest warships, let's take him first." There are a total of 80 warships on Xiandao, and this time, in order to cooperate with Jiugui Jialong, Liu Suojing brought out 60 warships at once, and there are still 20 warships left to guard the island. Third brother, what do you think? ”

Jiang Huanyan nodded: "I think so too, Liu Suojing has sixty warships in his hands, even if we go to attack them, we may not be able to take advantage." Our troops are not enough in the first place, and we must avoid a tough battle, and it is a good choice to directly attack Xiandao, but we can't also attack hard, just encircle and not fight. ”

Liu Zixuan was puzzled: "Does Your Highness also want to use the siege plan to send reinforcements?" When we were fighting Jizhou County in Chu State, General Deng also used it. ”

Jiang Huanyan shook his head: "Liu Suojing has been begging for a living at sea all the year round, even if he hastily withdraws his troops, it is impossible for him to be defenseless along the way." Besides, naval warfare is no better than land warfare, and there is no way to ambush them on the sea, so we can't attack them at all. ”

Shi Luosheng also said: "That's right, the purpose of our guerrilla attack this time is not to destroy the enemy army, but to relieve the siege of Naha. As long as we can get the enemy to retreat, with the economic advantage of Naha Castle and the backing of Chohei Island, it will only take three years at most for us to seize the initiative, and then we will not send troops to wipe out the entire Ryukyu Islands, but it all depends on our mood. ”

Liu Zixuan said with some disappointment: "I see, I thought that I could have a tough battle with you guys, but it turned out to be completely different." ”

Everyone laughed, but Jiang Huanyan said with a straight face: "Zixuan, in the future, after you break away from the Song Kingdom and work independently, there are still many difficulties you will have to face." On the surface, there are a lot of military generals in you, but these are far from enough. As the commander of an army, we must not only see the victory or defeat of a battle, the purpose of our use of troops is to solve politically unsolvable problems with war, not to pursue a hundred victories but nothing can be solved. ”

"Take your Song State as an example, after General Deng took office, he faced the Chu State and won a hundred battles, but so what? It's not that you haven't solved any problems, and you still can't change the situation of being backward and being beaten. As long as Xiang Tong can win General Deng once, you are in danger of losing your country. And he can lose ten times, or even a hundred times, and still not break his bones. Think about my words. ”

Liu Zixuan looked ashamed: "Zixuan has been taught, thank you for mentioning it." ”

Indeed, as Jiang Huanyan said, Liu Zixuan is an outstanding general, but he is not a handsome talent, every time he encounters a war, Liu Zixuan thinks of how to win the battle at the same time, but also let himself have fun, as for the situation of the whole war, he does not see it thoroughly.

Take Naha City as an example, it is a piece of fat in the eyes of the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu, Luzon, Siam and other countries, and even the Qi State has coveted it for a long time. It's just that at this stage, the main energy of the Qi State is still focused on unifying the five countries of the mainland, otherwise Jiang Huanyan would not send troops to help Shi Luosheng occupy Naha City.

Jiang Huanyan's purpose in mentioning Liu Zixuan is also for Qi Guo and Jiang Wan'er, only when Naba City is in Shi Luosheng's hands can their interests be maximized.

There is no doubt that Shi Luosheng is handsome, but in addition to himself, there is only one general around him who can really take charge of himself, Ling Zhen, if Liu Zixuan does not grow up as soon as possible, then it will not be so easy for them to gain a firm foothold in Naba City.

Jiang Huanyan's words, in fact, Shi Luosheng has always wanted to say it to Liu Zixuan, but the two of them are small, and of course some words are not easy for Shi Luosheng to say by himself.

Although Shi Zhen and Ling Zhen can also speak, they have a short time to meet each time, and they can't find a suitable opportunity. The rest of Wang Lun and the others are not as good as Liu Zixuan, so they are naturally not easy to speak.

Jiang Huanyan nodded: "Okay, let's go to Xiandao now, and pay attention to avoiding Liu Suojing's army on the way." After solving Liu Suojing, we immediately went to Dadong Island and Anmei Island. ”

Liu Suojing was originally a pirate active in the Jiaozhou area of Qi State, but twenty-five years ago, because of Lu Xinghai's banditry, he was driven overseas and exiled to the Ryukyu Islands. Later, it took another five years for Liu Suojing to finally occupy Xiandao as his new base.

In the past 20 years, Liu Suojing has also been thinking about expanding her territory, but as an outsider with no foundation, it is already very good to be able to gain a firm foothold in the Ryukyu Islands and squeeze into the top five for a while.

For example, Naha Castle, for nearly a hundred years, Naha has been the strongest in the entire Ryukyu Islands, but his territory has never expanded.

Naha Castle mainly relies on trade to develop, and there is no need to work part-time as a pirate to subsidize the finances like other forces, Naha only needs to rely on economic advantages to gradually widen the gap with other major forces. Therefore, the castle lords of the past generations were also willing to maintain the status quo of the Ryukyu Islands and not allow other forces to merge with each other, so as not to surpass themselves in military strength.

Under the deliberate maintenance of Naha Castle, the Ryukyu Islands did not have a large-scale war for decades, until this time Naha Castle itself was captured. The major forces that have been suppressed for more than ten years all exploded at once, and they all wanted to jump out to replace the status of Naha City, so there was the matter of the current four major forces jointly sending troops to Naha.

Liu Suojing was thinking about how to make greater benefits for himself in this war, when suddenly a spy came to report: "Chief, it's not good, Jiang Huanyan of Qi is heading straight for our Xiandao with fifty warships." ”

"What?" Liu Suojing was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that when Naha's forces were already obviously weak, Jiang Huanyan would dare to divide his troops to attack his lair.

"Let's retreat." Liu Suojing shouted.

Naha Castle will not be able to be attacked for a while and a half, but Xiandao only has twenty warships, and in the face of Jiang Huanyan, it is very likely that it will not be able to defend it. If the nest is lost, even if the overlord city is defeated, how much benefit can the Nine Ghost Jialong share to himself? Maybe he will take advantage of this opportunity to swallow himself too.
