There is a series of islands between Dengzhou and Liaodong, the total number is about 30, in later generations here is called Miaodao Islands, the largest of which is called Da Xie Shu, that is, the location of Changdao County in later generations. However, this island is close to the mainland and is vulnerable to the government's attack, so after the bandits who colluded with the government on Montenegro Island were wiped out by Gu Haotian and others, the strongest bandit force now is Hei Laosi of Huoji Island, followed by Guo Suzi of Qin Island.

This black old man was originally from Laizhou, but because his family was poor and there was a famine, the poor family had no overnight food. One of his relatives was a rich man, but he refused to give him alms. The black old man was strong and vicious, so he went to a weapon shop and stole a knife, recruited a few outlaws, and killed a relative's house in one night, killed the old and young of the family, and went to the sea to be a bandit, and then the bigger and bigger it developed, he occupied Huoji Island and became a sea bandit who dominated one side

Guo Suanzi is another version, this guy was originally named Guo Meng, but he was a fisherman along the coast of Penglai County, once he went fishing in the nearby waters with five or six neighbors, and was kidnapped by the subordinates of the bandit Xu San. The pirates also used their boats to rob fishing boats and merchant ships, and trapped a dozen fishermen and sailors in the cabins of the ships. Guo Meng had the heart to resist but had no weapons, but it was a coincidence, and soon, a strong wind blew on the sea for several days, and the bandits could not stand the bad weather, and many people were seasick and almost unconscious. Guo Meng took the opportunity to collude with several partners to free up the kidnapped fishermen and merchants, and everyone worked together to eliminate the bandits in one fell swoop. This Guo Meng saw that the world was chaotic and he couldn't fish with peace of mind, so he discussed with a few shipmates and became a pirate. This man always took the lead in fighting for his life, and gradually gained the nickname of Guo Xuanzi, and after a few years, he occupied the island of Chin and became the leader of the pirates who commanded hundreds of people.

However, a few days later, Liang Shan's fleet had entered the sea, and Li Bao was in the cockpit, introducing the situation of the pirates to Gu Haotian.

"There are more than ten bandits in the sea off Dengzhou, these two gangs are the largest, but the two act completely differently, the fourth black man is fierce, as long as it is profitable, he will do it regardless of whether it is indiscriminate, and he kills people without blinking, and the fishermen and merchant ships in the past are all discolored. Because of his background as a fisherman, Guo Suzi still thinks about the hardships of fishermen, and generally does not attack fishing boats, nor does he do things ruthlessly, often seeking money but not killing people. Because of their very different styles, these two bandits have become a pair of sworn enemies, often fighting for territory and money at sea. Although there are many people in Hei Laosi, Guo Zhizi's people are more courageous, and they have the secret support of fishermen, so they are not left behind, and the two have become a pattern of coexistence of the two in the past few years. ”

Since leaving Liangshan, Gu Haotian has been learning from Li Bao about the details of the bandits, and when he heard Li Bao talk about the details of Guo Xuanzi, an idea couldn't help but pop up in his heart, so he asked: "That Guo Xuanzi, since the reputation is good, is there any possibility of persuasion to surrender."

"It's not very clear, this guy is used to being a bandit freely, and I don't know if I want to be bound by the manor, if the petty official has this intention, he might as well send someone to explore it first."

Li Bao was a little surprised by Gu Haotian's sudden suggestion, but he was not sure. Gu Haotian thought about it, and only took one step at a time.

Two days later, the fleet arrived off the coast of Laizhou, and Li Jun, Jiao Ting, and Zhang Heng had already received the information, and several people came to rendezvous with supplies. Zhang Heng then led half of the men and ships of the 6th Battalion of Bingshui to join the large army, and after a short rest, the fleet continued to move eastward.

Chin Island is located at the northern end of a series of islands in the Bohai Sea, adjacent to Wuhu Island and Modao. In recent years, Guo has occupied this island, because he is a decent person, most of the surrounding fishermen have defected to him, so the island is more densely populated, and it is relatively lively. But also

It is precisely because of this that the fourth black man in the south hates him to the core, and often wants to get rid of him quickly.

On this day, two strange merchants came to the wharf of Xi'aokou on Chin Island, although there are often merchants from all over the island who come to buy goods, because of the particularity of the bandits' goods, they are generally old customers, so these two guests were targeted by the personnel who managed the wharf as soon as they went ashore.

But the two of them didn't know what to do, so they just walked along the stone road behind the pier. There are two peaks in the north and south of Chin Island, a small and a large mountain, sandwiched between a piece of flat land, most of the residents of the island live on the side of the mountain on both sides of the flat land, the flat land area in the north is large, and the houses are relatively lively, these two people looked at it, and then went to the north.

In a castle at the foot of the mountain to the north, Guo Suzi quickly got the news. He secretly thought about what kind of person was so bold that he dared to break into the bandits' den without any scruples, so he wanted to see what kind of person it was, so he asked:

"What do those two look like? Where are we now? ”

"The shopkeeper looks like a scholar, and the other should be a guard. When I came to report, I saw that the two of them had entered Zhang Mazi's tavern, and they should still be in it now. ”

"But I went over and looked."

Guo was stunned and didn't tell him to make any preparations, so he walked out, but he was very confident.

Zhang Mazi's tavern was on the edge of the humble side street in front of the castle, and as soon as Guo was stunned, he saw two strangers sitting on a wooden table on the side of the lobby, drinking with a few plates of seafood. He didn't make a gesture, he went straight over and sat on the side, and regardless of the surprise and surprise of others, he stared at the two and said:

"My name is Guo Meng, and the people on the surrounding islands all call me Guo Mengzi, I am the big boss on this Qin Island, and the two brothers are very angry, and what do I do on this island?"

"Under ......"

"Hugh is useless, I am straight, I like to go straight, I just say that I come here to do something."

The scholar's mouth was interrupted before he could say two words, and he smiled and continued:

"In Xia Xu Guanzhong, this is my brother called Ruan Shuisheng, but he is a person from Jeju Yangsan Manor, a few days ago in Dengzhou, I heard rumors that Guo Dangjia in Qindao is righteous, so he came to see if there is any business to do, but I didn't expect Guo Dangjia to be so cool and profitable, he actually came to see him in person."

The scholar looked like Xu Guanzhong, when Gu Haotian discussed with him on the boat to win Guo Xuanzi, he was very much in favor, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the island to persuade him to surrender. He also said that there was no other suitable candidate in the fleet at the moment, and said that Guo was stunned and would not do anything foolish, if it went well, it would be the best, if it didn't go well, it would be house arrest at most, and if the army came to Huoji Island and showed it its strong strength, then he would be worried about his ability to bear it.

Gu Haotian was reluctant to let him take risks, but seeing that the head of his analysis was Dao, and there was indeed no suitable person in the fleet, he also agreed.

In fact, after going to the island just now, he found that the island was different from the city, and his two strangers couldn't hide here at all, so he simply swaggered through the city, and his heart also had the purpose of attracting attention, but this Guo Da Boss appeared in person, but it was unexpected.

"Jeju! Yangsan Manor! The last time I went ashore to do business, I seemed to have heard it from a friend in the Tao. ”

After listening to Xu Guanzhong's self-report, Guo was stunned and fell into a memory, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said:

"But I remembered,

There is a very small official in your manor, and he has a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes. ”

"What Shopkeeper Guo is talking about is the jade-faced Meng Wei Gu Haotian minor official of my manor."

"That's right! Right! Right! It's called very jade noodles Meng taste! ”

Guo was stunned after listening to Xu Guanzhong's reply, and suddenly realized, but his eyes rolled, but he thought of something, and immediately asked meaningfully:

"Your Liangshan Manor is strong, but why did the two of you come to this remote island, could it be that there is something you see here?"

"Since I came here across the mountains and seas, I naturally have something to discuss with the shopkeeper Guo, but this is not a place to speak, I don't know if I can borrow a treasure to speak."

Xu Guanzhong did not evade the question, and calmly stated the purpose.

"Huh! …… This Brother Xu was refreshing, but he didn't think about it well, so he invited him to sit in the castle below, and it was not too late to do so. ”

Guo was stunned to see that Xu Guanzhong did not hide his purpose, and after being surprised for a while, he suddenly felt that this person was very appetizing, so he got up and invited the two to the castle as guests.

The walled fort of Chin Island is built on the mountain, all of which are made of thick mountain stones, and the area inside is not small, and it seems that it can accommodate many people.

"Brother Xu doesn't know that there are more than 1,000 people who can hide in this walled fort at most, and there is also a walled fort on the back mountain.

Seeing Xu Guanzhong looking around the castle, Guo said smugly.

"This time I came to Guidao, I came to trouble the fourth black man on the order of the petty officials in the manor, and it is because of this that there are many people in the tavern, so it is inconvenient to speak clearly."

"Black Fourth! Camel Island! Did you petty officials have a holiday with that guy? ”

Guo was stunned when he heard Xu Guanzhong's words, and then asked:

"Say, you two came to Iqin Island this time, do you want to join forces with me to kill that guy?"

"It's also not, although that black fourth is powerful, in the eyes of my Liangshan Manor, it's not worth looking at. Of course, it is good that Guo Dangjia is willing to help, but the two of us came here for another reason. ”

In Guo's disbelief, the three of them entered the lobby, and Xu Guanzhong slowly talked about the situation in the north of Jinliao, analyzed the possible consequences, and then put forward the strategy of Liangshan Manor going north to Liaodong and east to Korea.

"When we were ten years old, we made a judgment on the development trend of the Three Kingdoms, and now it seems that things are approaching step by step in the direction he predicted, we are all Han Chinese, and no one wants to let our relatives fall under the iron hooves of the Jurchens. The purpose of going north to Liaodong or east to Korea was to light a fire in the Jurchen backyard, but to accomplish this, the islands in this area had to be used as a springboard. The black old four and the others are extremely vicious, and we don't want to spend any words with them, so we will destroy them directly, Guo Shopkeeper is different from them, and he has a reputation in this area, and we petty officials think that they are treated differently. ”

Xu Guanzhong's words made this Guo stunned really stunned, he couldn't imagine that someone would have such great ambitions, and he actually said that he would destroy this number one gang that was rampant in the sea, and he didn't seem to be lying, and there was no need for anyone to come to him to boast, for a while his heart suddenly stirred, but he asked coldly:

"This Mr. Xu, if I don't cooperate with this Qindao, how can I treat it differently?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Guo who was full of vigilance, but smiled calmly, and then said something talkatively.
