Chapter 111: On Meritorious Deeds

The night was dark and the wind was high, and a small boat quietly approached Boracay Island, and Shi Luosheng and the four jumped into the water and quietly dived to the island. Boracay Island, where the guard was removed, was like a no-man's land for the four of them, and it didn't take much effort to find Li Zhixi's residence.

Li Zhixi is cautious by nature, and he usually has to arrange people to stand guard outside the door even when he sleeps, and recently because of the tense situation, there are more guards in the house. Although the security of Boracay Island was lifted, the security of his own palace remained in a wartime state.

After Shi Luosheng understood the situation, he smiled bitterly, he originally planned to kill Li Zhixi silently and then withdraw, but now it seems that he has to deal with the guards around him first.

Zu Qingzhi and Hua Haoxuan were the first to jump down from the roof, attracting the attention of the guards around them. Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan waited for a while, and then jumped into the room, Shi Luosheng ran towards Li Zhixi's room, Liu Zixuan followed closely behind, blocking the guards who caught up.

Li Zhixi, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of fighting outside the door, turned over and pulled out a long sword from under the bed to protect his chest, observing the movement outside.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open by a person, and the man rushed straight towards him, and Li Zhixi raised his long sword and stabbed at the man. The man's footsteps flashed, his body slid behind Li Zhixi, and at the same time, he pulled out a broken knife from his sleeve and stabbed Li Zhixi in the back.

After Li Zhixi was stabbed, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

This contact Li Zhixi also knew that he was far from being the opponent of the person who came, so he didn't dare to fight again, so he grabbed a chair next to him and threw it at the person, trying to escape from the door while the person was dodging.

Unbeknownst to him, the man ignored the attack of the chair, and directly opened it with a knife, the chair cracked in the middle, shattered into wood slag and sprinkled on the ground, and the knife qi from the broken knife also cut a hole in Li Zhixi's chest.

Li Zhixi was seriously injured and fell to the ground, knowing that he could not escape, but he still wanted to delay time and wait for rescue outside, so he asked: "Who are you and why did you kill me?" ”

The man smiled and said: "Master Li, you don't know me so soon, when you led your troops to attack my Xiachuan Island in the Great Song Dynasty, did you ever think that there would be today?" ”

Li Zhixi was surprised: "Are you Shi Luosheng?" Didn't you follow Song Jun back to Xianghu? ”

Shi Luosheng snorted coldly: "If I don't order the army to withdraw to Xianghu, will you lift the security on the island?" Without further ado, let's take my life! ”

Li Zhixi shouted in horror: "General Shi, don't kill me, I am also willing to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty like Huang Songsheng." ”

Shi Luosheng sneered: "It's too late, if you don't take advantage of our absence to sneak attack Shangchuan and Xiachuan Island, I can still consider recruiting you." Now that An Shirong has been killed by you, Huang Songsheng will never let you go, and he is my future commander of the navy, how can I spare your life. After speaking, a knife cut off Li Zhixi's head.

There were more and more guards outside the door, and Yue Shouming also rushed over with people. Although Liu Zixuan and the three of them were brave, after a long time, they were still a little exhausted.

Shi Luosheng walked out carrying Li Zhixi's head, and shouted loudly: "Stop, I am Shi Luosheng, the Wei general of the Great Song Dynasty, you invaded my Xiachuan Island last time for no reason, which damaged my Great Song Tianwei, and this general was ordered to come to crusade against you." Now our Great Song Dynasty Navy is also waiting outside Boracay Island, ready to attack at any time, this general is thinking that the thief leader Li Zhixi is dead, and he doesn't want to add more killing, as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, this general is not guilty of the past, and those who are willing to join the army can also join our Great Song Dynasty Water Army. If it is stubborn, it is not to blame General Ben for being ruthless. ”

The guards outside the door saw that Li Zhixi was dead, and they had no idea in their hearts, and they all looked at Yue Shouming.

Yue Shouming was also calculating in his heart, he had also seen the martial arts of Liu Zixuan and the three of them just now, although his side had an advantage in numbers, but there was no master in charge, if they wanted to escape, their side would not be able to stop them. If the outside of the island is really surrounded by a large army as Shi Luosheng said, then he can only surrender except to die in battle.

Thinking of this, Yue Shouming dropped the long sword in his hand and knelt on the ground: "General Shi, we are willing to surrender, but I still have a request, although Li Da Dang has offended the Great Song Dynasty, but in the past 20 years, he has taken great care of the people on the island, I want to bury Li Da Dang with my own hands, and I hope that the general will be perfect." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "General Yue is so loyal, how can Luosheng not agree." After speaking, he handed Li Zhixi's head to Yue Shouming with both hands.

By the time Ling Zhen, Huang Songsheng and Niu Qingyuan went to the island, Boracay Island had already planted the banner of the Great Song Dynasty. Shi Luosheng saw Huang Songsheng and said apologetically that he handed over Li Zhixi's head to Yue Shouming for a burial.

Huang Songsheng also knew that Shi Luosheng did this to buy people's hearts and appease the 80,000 people on the island, so he said: "Since Li Zhixi is dead, my third brother's revenge has also been avenged, and Huang can't do this kind of thing with people's corpses, and the general can use his head to appease the people on the island." ”

Two days later, everything returned to normal on Boracay Island, and Shi Luosheng asked Ling Zhen and Wang Chiji to stay on the island temporarily, and he and Liu Zixuan took Huang Songsheng and Yue Shouming back to Xianghu. After Niu Qingyuan returned to Shangchuan Island and made arrangements, he rushed to Penglai to take office, and Xiachuan Island was left behind by Huang Songsheng's second brother Ni Yun.

In order to prevent accidents, Shi Luosheng took away all the garrisons of Boracay Island while taking Yue Shouming away, and now the defense of the island is all in charge of Changxing Island and Xiachuan Island.

This battle not only helped Yan Guo repel the Qi army and hold Penglai, but also integrated the four major overseas forces in one fell swoop.

After returning to Xianghu, Shi Luosheng brought Dong Liang, Xun Yuqing, Huang Songsheng and Yue Shouming to talk one-on-one. Later, he wrote to Xiao Daocheng, proposing that Dong Liang, the commander of the naval army of Xianghu, be transferred to the commander of the Jeju City Defense Army, Huang Song was promoted to the new commander of the naval army, and Xun Yuqing and Yue Shouming were the deputy commanders of the naval army.

After Xiao Daocheng received Shi Luosheng's above table, he approved all of them without exception. Not to mention that Xiao Daocheng originally planned to support Shi Luosheng to fight with Deng Yuanjue in the army, just talking about the merits of Shi Luosheng this time is enough for Xiao Daocheng to agree to it all.

Dong Liang was born in the mountain bandits, and he was not very good at training the water army, and he used to train the water army completely according to the routine of training mountain bandits, but he was completely at a disadvantage in this battle with the Qi State Water Army, and he was transferred from his post after coming back.

Xun Yuqing seems to have been demoted by half a level from the commander of the Jeju City Defense Army to the deputy commander of the Navy Army, but he also knows that after this battle with the Qi Army, the imperial court will vigorously develop the Navy in the next step.

Huang Songsheng is not to mention, it turned out that Shi Luosheng promised him that he was the deputy commander of the navy, but he didn't expect that after he came back, he directly made him the commander of the navy, handed over all the Great Song Dynasty navy to him, and even transferred his henchman Dong Liang away in order to make room for him, this kindness really moved Huang Songsheng.

As for Yue Shouming, he has changed from a pirate four-in-command to a court official, or the deputy commander of the navy, and may be a four-rank official in the future, what else can he be dissatisfied with such an arrangement?

Finally, on the governance of Boracay Island and Xiachuan Island, Xiao Daocheng put them all under the jurisdiction of Jeju Prefecture, and Changtan County and Xiachuan County were set up on the island, but there was really no one in the imperial court who was willing to go overseas to be a small county commander, and it was also the kind of small county with a population of only tens of thousands, Xiao Daocheng had to let Shi Luosheng propose that the two of them take office.

Shi Luosheng then asked Guo Xu to pick two officials from Jeju City who had followed him to suppress bandits to take office, after all, these two islands Shi Luosheng also arranged for Ling Zhen and Ni Yun to stay behind, and the new county commander would not have much real power.
