The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1463 Powers on the Island

The two carefully sat down in the lower seat of Xuan Shijing.

"Previously there was a vanguard team of more than 1000 people around your village, but they were fooled away by your people. Is there such a thing?" Xuan Shijing asked.

The elder nodded and said: "There is such a thing. We didn't know it was the master of the Central Plains, but we thought it was some other village on the island."

"Hehe." Xuan Shijing interrupted the elder's words in a low voice: "Elder, you are still dishonest."

"Don't dare." The elder repeatedly waved his hands in denial.

"Why don't you dare? Sitting in front of me, still thinking about how to fool me, this is not going to work. What I hate most is lying in front of me and deceiving me." Xuan Shijing He sneered and said, "I don't know if it's the master of the Central Plains? But it can't be someone else on the island, right? The elder said so?"

Being questioned by Xuan Shijing, the elder slapped himself on the cheek with a loud slap, and the strength he used was not small.

"The old man said something wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me." The elder smiled apologetically, "You are right. There are 1000 people. Three people were arrested in the stockade before. You can tell from their clothes. They are definitely not people from this island, the old man felt that they were people from the Central Plains, and in the evening, when people were found around the village, he came up with a way to lure those people away."

"The people were distracted, whereabouts? Where did you lead them?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Forgive me, my lord, this old man really doesn't know." The elder said: "After the people who lured them away came back, they followed Ershun and the others to the valley, trying to ambush your army. Grandpa, you also know."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "It seems that the elder is quite sensible."

What Elder Cai said just now was confirmed by Xuan Shijing from Ershun. He followed Ershun and his party to the valley to ambush Shen Haoqing's vanguard, but in the end they were all annihilated by Xuan Shijing's large army. There were only a few survivors left, but Xuan Shijing learned about Liu Renyuan's team being led to the other side of the mountain from Ershun.

"I won't ask about the 1000 people for the time being, someone will bring them back." Xuan Shijing looked at the elder and said: "Then the elder will tell me in detail about the other four forces on the island. Bar."

Since the entire Ryukyu Island is to be included in the territory of Datang, the situation on the island must be clarified before a plan can be made. This time to Ryukyu, the Datang Navy has mobilized a total of 5000 regular troops. The rest of the people on board were just over 700 in total.

2 people are more than enough to face this small village with only [-] troops, but Xuan Shijing doesn't know much about them.

Although this island is considered an uncivilized land for the Tang Dynasty, there are still people and countries in the end. There are also news transmissions between the five villages. The news that the navy army of the Central Plains took this village is believed to be true Soon it will spread throughout the island.

What kind of problems will Xuan Shijing face next? In order to fight against the army of the Central Plains, will the other villages on this island unite to deal with Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing's forces here are limited, so naturally he can't confront them head-on, so the most important thing right now is to thoroughly understand the specific situation of the remaining four forces.

And this elder, being the leader of one faction on this island, certainly doesn't know nothing about other forces. He not only knows about the remaining four forces, but also understands them very thoroughly.

As the weakest party of the five powers on the island, it is not easy to survive and develop in the cracks, and even be a fool on the wall when necessary, so Xuan Shijing expected that the elder knew a lot. go.

It's not too early now, it's already midnight, but obviously the people in this hall are not sleepy at all, the elder was woken up by the sudden change, Da Zhuang is still on guard against Xuan Shijing in his heart, As for Xuan Shijing, Liu Renyuan still has no news at all. Xuan Shijing is worried, and naturally he can't sleep. Moreover, he is also worried about the camp. After entering the village, Xuan Shijing asked Shen Haoqing to separate 5000 people went back to the camp first.

The camp is not far from the coast, and the ships of the army are all docked by the sea, so there is no room for loss.

Since she didn't feel sleepy, Xuan Shijing took this opportunity to understand the situation on the island first.

The elder said: "As for the situation of the other four forces on this island, Da Zhuang knows better than this old man, so let Da Zhuang explain it to the father-in-law."

Although this big man guards the city wall at night, his identity is not an ordinary soldier in this village, but the leader of the adult male soldiers who command the village. He went up the city wall tonight, and he also thought that there were 600 men After leaving the stockade, he went to the valley to ambush the Datang Navy, so he wanted to wait on the city wall, waiting for them to come back, but what he didn't expect was the bad news that the Datang Navy's brigade and [-] people were all wiped out .

"Back to the Lord, Zhu Town in the north, which has the largest number of forces on the island, has about [-] troops in its hands." Da Zhuang said.

"Thirty thousand soldiers?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Da Zhuang nodded: "And the weapons and armor are the best on the whole island." Da Zhuang said.

"Then under his influence, how many people have he ruled?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"However, there are probably [-] people." Da Zhuang said: "I don't know the exact number, [-] is just a small guess, the minimum is [-]."

Thirty thousand soldiers, counting his family members, indeed, eighty thousand is already the minimum, Xuan Shijing thinks, not even one hundred thousand.

"What about the remaining three places?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The other two places are on the other side of the mountain. The two places are relatively close. The two have always been in an alliance. The leader of one faction is called Yang Fu, and the leader of the other is called Cheng Yong. Wang Xiwei." Da Zhuang said: "The leaders of these four forces were originally the four generals on the island, but after the country perished, they raised their own hills. The Yang Fu and Cheng Yong families have a total of more than 3000 soldiers and horses. Wang Xiwei monopolizes the south and has seventeen thousand troops."

It sounds like these four forces are relatively balanced, but when they arrived at this stockade, the number of people dropped sharply, which is strange. Such a stockade should be a place that the other four forces coveted. How could it survive safely? Come down and become the fifth largest force?
