Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Ryukyu Imperial Family.

What they didn't expect was that when the royal army of more than 30,000 people rushed to the Iwo Bird Island under Li Jiancheng's command, they suddenly found that the island was empty.

None of the Okinawan troops that were supposed to be stationed here are gone.

You know, Iwo Bird Island is the northernmost island in the Okinawa archipelago, and there are many active volcanoes on the island, so the reserves of sulfur can be said to be extremely rich, and Okinawa Oshima has sent at least 2,000 soldiers to garrison it.

After all, sulfur is something that Dengshu Yizhi is buying, and for the Ryukyus, sulfur is money!

The successful occupation of Iwo Tori Island, this result shocked the spirit of those Ryukyu royal families, thinking that this was a manifestation of cowardice on the Okinawa side, what Okinawa naval army, what Tang Dynasty Shenwuwei, it was bullshit!

And when this news reached the main island of the Ryukyu Imperial Family, Mamao Island in the Osumi Islands, it attracted countless people from the Ryukyu Imperial Family, and at the same time confirmed that their Ryukyu Imperial Family already had the strength to compete with the forces of Li Jiancheng and Yang Yong.

Li Jiancheng's forces avoided fighting and made the Ryukyu royal family excited, but as the president of the Ryukyu royal family, Ku Lafei did not release vigilance, and they always paid attention to the direction and state of Yang Jian's forces, while searching for traces of Li Jiancheng's forces.

Okinawa Oshima Guangyang Castle, the main city of Li Jiancheng's forces, is still prosperous, except that there are many more tents in a small valley outside Guangyang City, and some figures in armor.

"General, why did the eldest prince give such an order?" On the edge of the main tent in the small valley, a young man with a rather majestic appearance poured a glass of wine a little unwillingly, and said: "We can be said to be embarrassed to be thrown to grandma's house this time, and we retreat without a fight, and we are damn holding our breath when we think about it!" ”

"Zhang Ning. You kid just can't sink too much! Sitting next to the young man was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, dressed in silver armor and had a rough appearance.

He looked at the young man in front of him who was still a little angry, and said with a smile: "Didn't the eldest prince mention it before? Our Ryukyu forces have formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and this time it is the Shenwuwei of the Martial King Li Yuanba who came to our Okinawa Oshima. With them, what are the forces of those Ryukyu royal families and Yang Jun? ”

"yes!"

At this time, a young man with the appearance of a white-faced scholar walked over slowly and said, "What General Wang said is very true, what is the point of retreating for a while? If the eldest prince's plan is successful. Those Ryukyu royalties are not worth mentioning at all! ”

In fact, the young man named Zhang Ning also understood in his heart:

This time, Li Jiancheng ordered them to avoid the war, not because they were afraid of the Ryukyu royal family. As the so-called hypocrisy, Li Yuanba and Li Jiancheng calculated the power of the Ryukyu royal family or Yang Yong, and they did not dare to send troops to attack their main city and Okinawa Island, after all, Yang Yong had suffered a big loss in Guangyang City before, not only losing troops and generals, but also destroying more than a dozen warships.

Such a big loss. They will not be easily touched, and will only attack Iwo Su-torishima, which is weak in Okinawa but relatively important.

In order to lure the power of the Ryukyu Imperial Family to the other side, he did not call them to attack Yang Yin's forces. Therefore, Li Yuanba asked the secret spies lurking in the power of the Ryukyu royal family to keep an eye on the movements of the Ryukyu imperial army, and at the same time let the soldiers stationed on Iwo Bird Island withdraw to Gwangyang City.

"Of course I know that! But, alas, ......" Zhang Ning sighed. He threw aside the wine jar in his hand and said, "Forget it, let those guys jump a few more times." When the eldest prince attacks them, I must participate! ”

"Hahaha, it seems that you can't hold your breath here!"

At the moment when Zhang Ning's words landed, a hearty laugh came, and then two middle-aged people with strong bodies walked over one after the other.

As soon as he saw these two entering, regardless of whether it was Zhang Ning, the white-faced voice or the general, he immediately got up and saluted him: "The last general Zhang Ning, Wang Sheng, the lower official Ren Ming, I have seen Lord Bai, Lord Li!" ”

It was Li Fazhong and the naval commander Bai Yang of Okinawa Oshima who came over.

This time, Li Yuanba sent them over to arrange for these 2,000 soldiers who had been withdrawn from Iwo Rock Bird Island, together with the 3,000 Shenwu guards under Li Yuanba's command, to complete an attack plan together.

Although Li Yuanba's primary target was the Ryukyu Islands, which belonged to Yang Hui's forces, Yang Yong had operated in the Ryukyu Islands for so many years, and the islands he controlled were almost half of the Ryukyu Islands.

For so many years, no one knows where the main island where Yang Jun is located, although there are a few suspicions, but they have not been verified after all.

Li Yuanba asked Li Fazhong and Bai Yang to come over this time, so that they could lead the coalition army of 5,000 people to those places that were suspected by Li Jiancheng's brothers, and capture these places in one fell swoop, so as to end the war to capture the Ryukyu Islands ahead of schedule.

Li Fazhong and Bai Yang waved their hands at Zhang Ning and them, signaling them to be exempt.

Bai Yang was the first to speak: "Okay, the eldest prince has not forgotten you hard-working generals!" General Wang, give the order to go down, let the brothers hurry up and rest and rest, and when the second watch comes, we will set off! ”

"Departure?" Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said, "Lord Li, is the eldest prince having another task?" ”

Li Fazhong smiled and said, "Of course, this time we are cooperating with Shenwuwei from Datang to go to Yakushima, Yonaguni Island and Hateruma Island in the Osumi Islands. As long as these places are cleared and Yang Jun is found, then they can be killed by surprise! ”

Li Fazhong is Li Jiancheng's henchman, and Bai Yang is also about the same level as Li Fazhong, but this time because of the addition of Shenwuwei, these two of Li Jiancheng's old subordinates can only stand aside.

This time, Liu Renliang was the chief general, Bai Yang and Li Fazhong were the deputy generals, and there were 2,000 Okinawa naval troops and 3,000 Shenmu guards under his command.

"My lord, these islands are the most inconspicuous islands under Yang Jun's command, after all, he Yang Jun is the prince of the former Sui Dynasty, and he is well-dressed and well-fed on weekdays, can he live in these inconspicuous small places? No matter how bad it is, how many main cities should it be? ”

To say that Poplar is still very familiar with the Ryukyu Islands, these places don't look like places where a prince like Yang Yong can hide. (To be continued.) )
