Chapter 317: Subduing the Vultures

Camel Island changed overnight, and Gu Haotian asked two battalions to conduct a dragnet search of the whole island, and at the same time opened the warehouse of Hei Laosi and distributed food and goods to the poor people on the island door to door. After the initial panic, the few remaining fishermen on the island slowly discovered that this newcomer was indeed different from the people of Hei Lao Si, and they were much bolder, and then they revealed some information about the fugitives openly and secretly. By noon, most of the rest of the island, except for a few bandits who had fled into the dense forests of the back mountains, had been arrested.

At this time, the interrogation of Hei Lao Si was almost complete. The point that Gu Haotian and the others are most concerned about is, how did the Jurchens get here? Aren't these people landlubbers many? However, according to the fourth brother of the Hei Laosi, these Jurchens seem to have formed a grievance with their government and could not stay in the northeast anymore, so they risked their lives to cross the sea to this area. Gu Haotian was greatly surprised when he heard this, didn't this mean that those people were all Jurchen criminals or rebels, he suddenly thought that these people might be used in the next step, so he immediately ordered Li Bao to send a ship to Qin Island to transport dozens of Jurchen prisoners.

The next day, Zhang Heng escorted more than 80 Jurchen captives to Huoji Island, where Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong personally interrogated. Sure enough, this group of Jurchens is the Liaodong Jurchen Wuyan Division, and it is not the same origin as the Wanyan Department of Wanyan Agu. After the Yan tribe unified the Jurchen tribes, there were also some Jurchen tribes who did not surrender to him, and this Wuyan tribe was one of them, but because they could not confront the powerful Wanyan tribe on land, they had to cross the sea and occupy the island as bandits.

"Now that the strength of the Jin State has increased greatly, and the Liao State is also losing and retreating in the face of him, why don't you return to your ancestors and recognize your ancestors, in order to become rich."

After Gu Haotian understood the reason, he couldn't help asking.

"The Wanyan tribe killed my people and took my land, even if we return to the Liao, we will not beg to them."

At this time, one of them replied indignantly.

Gu Haotian saw that it was a young man in his twenties, who was shrewd and strong, so he asked curiously:

"What's your name?"

"A little vulture."

Glamorous! Gu Haotian immediately remembered that in "Water Margin", when Song Jiang conquered the Liao Kingdom, the Liao commander was called Wu Yanguang, and just now this person also said that he would rather return to the Liao people, but it was a coincidence that this person was this person. But at this time, it was impossible to verify, so he continued to ask:

"You have been alone in the past, why did you attack Chin Island with Hei Lao Si this time."

"Hei Lao Si is a shameless man with no integrity, I didn't want to pay attention to him in the first place, but there is a shortage of food on the island, and Wu Yanshou was fascinated by his five hundred stone grain.

"How many people are there on your island, and are you so short of food?"

Gu Haotian saw that this group of people came out to sell their lives for a mere five hundred stone of grain, but he was even more curious.

"There are more than 1,000 people on the island, the old and the weak and the weak account for nearly half, and there has been no big deal on the island since this spring, and some of the original grain stocks cannot withstand the consumption of a large group of people, and now they are about to run out of drinking, otherwise how would they fall into the hands of the fourth black and lose the two hundred brothers in vain."

In the end, his expression also darkened, there were only five or six hundred young people on his island, and nearly half of them came out this time, but all the troops were wiped out, not to mention the dead and wounded, and the fate of his dozens of people was also uncertain, but I was afraid that the fate of the people on the island would also be worrying in the future.

"There are more than 300 people who have attacked the island this time, and in addition to the eighty-five people here, there are nearly 100 wounded soldiers, and if they are treated properly, they should be able to live. I will tell you the truth, we can heal the wounded, and we can provide you with food, but only one thing, you will submit to me, but willing? ”

When Wu Yanguang was worried, he suddenly heard Gu Haotian's words, and he was suddenly stunned. He knows the situation on the island very well, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no overnight food, otherwise he would not cooperate with people like Hei Laosi, but he never imagined that the enemy he attacked him would want it

Take them in. After a long time, he asked suspiciously:

"Is that true?"

"The words of our manor petty officials are naturally true, you only need to go to Jingdong to inquire a little. But I might as well tell you that we are not coveting your hundreds of troops, but because we are going to run Liaodong in the next step, we need some people who are familiar with the local area, and if you are willing to submit, we will be able to regain your homeland for you in the future. ”

Xu Guanzhong listened to it for a long time, and already understood Gu Haotian's intentions, so he helped on the side.

"The little one is naturally willing to submit, but there are still clan elders on the island, please let the little official allow me to go back to the island to report, if there is no accident, I will definitely rush back tomorrow afternoon."

After listening to Xu Guanzhong's explanation, Wu Yanguang had no doubts in his heart, and immediately knelt down in front of Gu Haotian, and the rest of the people also knelt down one after another to express their willingness to surrender.

"Let this Wu Yanguang pick a dozen people, give him a boat, well—another boatload of grain with him, and let them set off immediately."

Gu Haotian had already felt the sincerity of these people, so he simply made another emotional investment.

When Wu Yanguang and the others heard this, they were really grateful, and they kowtowed a few times in front of Gu Haotian before they got up and left.

Let's say that on Wuhu Island, since the patriarch Wu Yan Shou led the troops to the battle, the old patriarch Wu Yan Lie is the head of the clan. This Wuyan Lie is the hereditary heir of the Wuyan Department of Liaodong, and was once named the commander of the Great King of the Southern Jurchen Kingdom by the Liao State, when the Wanyan Department invaded the south, he was unwilling to surrender, and the two sons were all killed by Wanyan Zongfu with troops, since then he and the Wanyan Department have formed a blood feud, Wuyan Shou and Wuyan Guang are his cousins, after retreating to the island, he gave the patriarch to the older Wuyan Shou. Since the beginning of this year, the livelihood on the island has been very difficult, and in recent days, many elderly people have refused to eat in order to save food, and he is deeply worried. A few days ago, he secretly sent people to the end of the island in the west, where a group of Liao people were occupied, without telling his two nephews. He knew the details of those people, but he was the hand of a high-ranking official of the Liao State, and he had no business here, so he wanted to contact the matter of Guishun through these people, but there was no result at present.

Just when Wu Yanlie was worried, it was reported that Wu Yanguang had returned with a boatload of grain, and he suddenly lifted his spirits and immediately got up and rushed out.

"Uncle, we were deceived by the fourth black guy, none of the three hundred brothers were killed or wounded and captured, and Brother Wuyan Shou was killed on the spot."

On the dock, Wu Yanguang saw his uncle, and couldn't help but feel sad, so he knelt down and cried.

And Wu Yan Lie rushed to the dock happily, but when he heard such bad news, it was like a basin of cold water on the head, and his enthusiasm suddenly turned into a cold heart. He pointed to the grain in the boat, and asked tremblingly:

"And that—that—where did this boatload of food come from?"

"This grain was sent by the ancient officials of Jingdong, but there are still many things to be reported to the uncle, and the nephew was able to come back because of this matter."

Wu Yanlie was an old man who had gone through countless twists and turns, and he knew that there must be another reason for this, but since he was able to bring back a boatload of grain, it meant that the situation was not too bad. Without saying much at the moment, the uncle and nephew hurried home.

Along the way, when the three hundred clansmen who were waiting to hear were still alive for nearly two hundred, Wu Yanlie was suddenly relieved, and then he heard Wu Yanguang say that the little official of the Zhou Dynasty had the intention of surrendering, but he was a little hesitant in his heart. He has been an official under the rule of the Liao State for many years, and he knows that the Zhou Dynasty has never been the opponent of the Liao State. Now that the Jin State has risen strongly, the Liao State is not an opponent, how much strength can a small official of the Zhou Dynasty have, if he is attached to him, the revenge of the Wuyan family is not far away.

"Uncle, this little official is different, his soldiers are really extraordinary, that day in Qin Island, the warriors of my Wuyan Department faced them face to face, and in less than half an hour, nearly 100 were killed and wounded, and Brother Wuyan Shou also died at that time. There are more than 1,000 people under the black boss, but he is the boss of our area, but he was only taken by a nest overnight. Besides, that little official is also very human in my opinion, and he does things with the air of an emperor

A few days ago, in order to come back to report the matter of returning to obedience, he not only generously released people and sent ships, but also heard that there was a shortage of food on the island, but also generously gave a boatload of food, which was unheard of for such a prisoner of war person, and his nephew thought that this person could serve him. ”

The uncle and nephew talked all the way back home, and Wu Yanlie basically had a judgment on this little official, but he kept an extra eye, so he said to his nephew:

"As you say, this petty official is indeed extraordinary, but it is still necessary to see is believing, the island in the west is still occupied by three or four hundred Liao people, looking at the recent actions of this petty official, I will not want different forces to entrench on his side, it just so happens that I have contact with the Liao people there a few days ago, so I will lead them the way, one is to give you a step to advance, and the other is to see with your own eyes, how strong the little official's manpower is in front of the Liao people."

On the morning of the same day, Wu Yan Lie and Wu Yan Guang convened several elders of the clan to discuss, and then the two immediately boarded the boat and headed for Huoji Island. The next day, a small fleet returned to Wuhu Island, accompanied by the special battalions of Xu Guanzhong and Shi Wengong.

In recent years, the Zhou Dynasty officials were chaotic, and the sea off Dengzhou was out of control, two years ago he was ordered by his master to occupy the end of the island with three or four hundred men, one is to take the opportunity to make a fortune, in fact, the more important reason, but his master took this place as one of the future roads.

A few days ago, Xiao did not receive a request from the Jurchens in the east to be attached, in fact, his heart was very happy, these people have been in the vicinity for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, if they can be accepted as house slaves for their masters, it is good. Therefore, on the one hand, he sent people back to report on the situation, but on the other hand, he wanted to boil up a little more, so that those Jurchen people who were old and weak would be eliminated and there would be fewer people who ate idle meals.

At noon on this day, Xiao was also listening to his subordinates' reports on the changes in Huoji Island and Chin Island. But I listened to the report from my subordinates that the old woman from Wuhu Island was really here. He sneered and said:

"Humph! This guy will not be able to endure any longer, so bring him here. ”

Before long, Wu Yanlie came in with two young people, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he really asked about Guishun.

"Old patriarch, if I don't want to agree, I really don't dare to be the master, wait another eight or nine days, and the person who reported the news will definitely come back." Xiao didn't pretend to be helpless and replied.

"In this case, I will ask the Xiao family to help me with some food first, help the people tide over the difficulties, and repay them in the future."

"The old patriarch has difficulties on his side, and it is not easy for us here! There is not much food on the island, and it may be difficult to get it out for a while. ”

Wu Yanlie saw that Xiao didn't refuse, and a cloud of anger suddenly arose in his heart, this guy didn't care about the lives of others, and he was waiting to reply. Wu Yanguang behind him couldn't stand it anymore, but he saw him angrily and said:

"Uncle, even if the Liao people don't care about our life or death, they will go to the Han people, I heard that a group of Han people came to Huoji Island, and the fight with the black old four is fierce, we will be happy to go over."

Wu Yanlie seemed to be moved when he heard it, but Xiao was not calm, if this Jurchen really voted for the Han people, not to mention that he would have less help, if he colluded with the Han people and attacked him in turn, it would be troublesome. At that moment, he hurriedly said:

"How can the young man be in such a hurry, since there is such a shortage of food on the island, we will not sit idly by, so we will squeeze out twenty stone for you first?"

"Twenty stone is used for a bird, and it is not enough for a day's expenses, so it is fifty stone less."

The young Jurchen did not agree, and said stiffly.

Xiao didn't want to mess things up, so he only responded, but he thought in his heart that when it came to the master's hands that day, this stunned boy would be eliminated first.

At that moment, the two sides agreed to send a ship to transport grain in the evening, and then several Jurchens hurried back to fetch the ship's personnel.

On the evening of the same day, three Jurchen boats docked at the dock of Weidao, and what the Liao people couldn't imagine was that these people did not come to get food, but to ask for their lives.
