Chapter 562 Confluence
Just as Gao Bufan expected, Luo Yi finally couldn't bear it and gave up Lulongsai, handing it over to Yuchi Jingde. He had no choice but to give up. After all, he was transporting the defenders of Lulongsai from Liucheng County outside the Pass.
Supplies are too difficult. Firstly, the journey is long and secondly, the mountain roads
It was difficult to move. To transport one stone of grain to Lulongsai, twenty stones of grain would have to be consumed on the way. It was really not worth the loss. So after persisting for several months, Luo Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to reluctantly give up Lulong.
They blocked the fort and secretly evacuated all the defenders overnight.
In this way, the two major passes of Lulongsai and Linyu Pass, as well as Xikou, are all in Gao Bufan's hands. This means that the initiative of the attack has completely transferred to Gao Bufan's hands. As long as he is willing,
You can send troops to capture places outside the pass at any time.
It is worth mentioning here that although Luo Yi was driven out of the customs by Gao Bufan at the end of last year, he did have a ruthless spirit. Not only did he firmly control Liucheng County, he also sent troops to attack Liucheng County and beyond since the beginning of this spring.
Yan County and Liaoxi County in the east. Now Yan County has been captured by him, and even nearly half of Liaoxi County has been captured by him.
Luo Yi probably had an affair with Gao Bufan. After learning that the latter had taken the post of general manager of Youzhou, he also called himself the general manager of Yingzhou, and announced that Liucheng County, Yan County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County were all Luo Yi's.
The territory should not be interfered with by anyone else.
In addition, Luo Yi also sent people to contact Khitan and Goguryeo, promising to form an alliance with benefits to stabilize surrounding relations, and then concentrate on counterattacking Youzhou. Yingzhou was too barren and could not be compared with the rich Youzhou, and it was also
Outside Guxuan Pass, there are Yi people to the north and east, and there is the sea to the south. There is really no future for being trapped here.
Therefore, Luo Yi is now working hard and tightening his belt to counterattack Youzhou. Only in this way can he find a way out. Otherwise, he will end up being annexed sooner or later, either by Goguryeo or Youzhou. As for
The Khitan is still in disarray, and Luo Yi still doesn't like it for the time being.
It is said that on this day, Luo Yizheng was leading his army to attack Liaoxi County. Suddenly, a subordinate came back and reported: "Master Manager, there are two large ships with two bows stranded on the seaside. The flags on the ships are "Yan". I don't know whether they are attacking.
Where did it come from? Sir, do you think you can take it easily?"
Luo Yi's heart moved, and he temporarily changed the marching direction. Under the leadership of the scouts, he rushed south to the seaside. Sure enough, he saw a two-bow ship parked on the sea more than ten meters offshore. It was the time of low tide, so the bottom of the ship ran aground.
It's so crooked that it can't move.
Luo Yi was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered people to get several small bow boats, and tried to board the two bow ships. However, he did not expect that the group of people on board were not fuel-efficient lamps. Luo Yi's soldiers attacked for half an hour but failed.
The failure to board the ship cost more than 20 lives.
This made Luo Yi anxious. Seeing that the tide was about to rise again and the cooked duck was about to fly away, he ordered a fire attack. Rows of rockets dipped in tung oil were fired at them, and the ships on both bows were immediately hit.
The group on board had no choice but to abandon the ship and surrender.
It turns out that this group of people is none other than Gao Kaidao's group!
It is said that a few days ago, Gao Kaidao led people to loot in the Fengnan County of Yuyang County, and then fled quickly on the boat. They arrived at the coast of Yan County that day, and were planning to repeat their old tricks and go ashore to plunder supplies and people.
As a result, he was not very lucky. When he returned from the robbery, the tide went out. The two large ships ran aground not far from the shore and could not move. In the end, he became Luo Yi's dish.
At this time, Gao Kaidao and several key members of his men were tied up by Wu Huada and escorted in front of Luo Yi.
"This is Mr. Luo, our general manager of Yingzhou, kneel down!"
Gao Kaidao originally wanted to show off his toughness, but in the end he was stabbed on the crook of his knee, and he could only kneel down in pain.
Luo Yi narrowed his triangular eyes, spoke calmly, and asked calmly: "What's your name?"
Gao Kaidao snorted coldly and said: "A certain Gao Kaidao was originally a general under King Yan."
"King Yan? Which King Yan?"
Gao Kaidao said dissatisfiedly: "You have never heard of King Yan Geqian. You are too ignorant."
Xue Wanjun laughed and said, "I thought it was who it was. It turned out to be Ge Qian who was beaten to a pulp by Wang Shichong. I bet you are his subordinate. No wonder you are so bad."
Gao Kaidao said angrily: "What the hell, if a certain family hadn't been unlucky and the ship ran aground, would it have fallen into your hands? If you have the guts, let that family and all the brothers go. Let's see how that family teaches you a lesson."
"
Xue Wanjun sneered and said: "Let you go? Think I'm an idiot like you. Sir, don't talk nonsense to him. Just chop off his head with a knife. Keeping it is a waste of food."
Luo Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Gao Kaidao, your people seem to be very familiar with naval battles."
Gao Kaidao said proudly: "A certain family has been making a living by boiling salt on the beach since childhood. It is common to go out to sea to fish. And these brothers under a certain family are all skilled sailors. Naval warfare is our strength. If we hadn't been stranded today, you guys
No matter how many people come, they will be killed."
Luo Yi was secretly happy, and drew a knife to cut off the ropes tied to Gao Kaidao's hands. The latter stood up, patted his butt, and sneered: "Is it possible that Manager Luo wants to recruit a certain family?"
Luo Yi asked back: "I am rich in several counties and have more than 100,000 elite soldiers and generals under my command. Isn't it worthy of your loyalty?"
Gao Kaidao chuckled and said: "Who can't brag? Let me ask you, is it Youzhou who is rich or Yingzhou who is rich? Is it Gao Changqingqiang, the general manager of Youzhou, or Luo Yiqiang, the general manager of Yingzhou?"
Luo Yi's expression instantly darkened. Xue Wanjun flew up and kicked Gao Kaidao out. He put the spear in his hand directly at the latter's throat and shouted: "If you dare to be disrespectful to Manager Luo again, I, Xue Wanjun, will kill you with one shot."
Dog’s life.”
Luo Yi strode forward and stepped on Gao Kaidao's palm. The latter turned pale in pain, but he was very strong and did not cry out in pain.
Luo Yi smiled evilly and said: "You are indeed a tough guy. I want to see if you are really tough or fake."
Luo Yi said as he pulled out his waist knife, and with one swish of the knife, Gao Kaidao's little finger on his left hand was cut off, and the latter finally screamed in pain.
"That's it, it's still not tough enough!" Luo Yi looked extremely disdainful and pretended to cut off another finger of Gao Kaidao. The latter hurriedly shouted: "A certain family is willing to be loyal to Manager Luo!"
Luo Yi's knife was frozen in the air, his sinister triangular eyes stared at Gao Kai playfully and said: "Seriously!"
Gao Kaidao was sweating from the pain at this moment. He nodded fiercely and said: "I, Gao Kaidao, swear to God that I will be loyal to Manager Luo from now on. I will be unyielding and loyal. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by thunder and divided into five horses!"
Luo Yi then sheathed his sword and helped Gao Kaidao up with a smile and said: "General Gao, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer the pain of your flesh and blood. Come here and bandage General Gao's wound."
A military doctor hurriedly stepped forward to clear the way for Gao and covered his wounds.
Luo Yi patted Gao Kaidao on the shoulder and said: "General Gao, don't blame me for being cruel. It's really... you shouldn't mention that bastard Gao Changqing. As soon as this person's name is mentioned, I can't help but get angry.
I wish I could kill him quickly."
After Gao Kaidao experienced Luo Yi's ruthlessness, he obviously no longer dared to be unruly and said cautiously: "Is it possible that Manager Luo has a grudge against Gao Changqing?"
Luo Yi nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "There is a grudge, and it is an sworn hatred. This bastard is insidious and shameless. He not only slandered and plotted against me, but also put the shit basin on my head, and used conspiracy and tricks to steal
Beiping County, which is under my control..."
Luo Yi suddenly stopped when he said this, patted Gao Kaidao's shoulder again and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, sooner or later I will personally cut off his head to avenge him."
Gao Kaidao immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "As long as General Manager Luo gives the order, I am willing to be the vanguard and go straight to Zhuo County, cut off Gao Changqing's head and present it to the General Manager."
Luo Yi saw Gao Kaidao being so smart, and laughed and said: "Very good, General Gao is really quick to talk. In this case, you will have a place to use him next."
Gao Kaidao said flatteringly: "A few days ago, my subordinates had an autumn breeze in Fengnan County, Yuyang County. In addition to some grain livestock, there were also a few young and pretty women. I originally planned to enjoy them by myself. Now,
Give them all to the steward."
Xue Wanjun said sarcastically: "Now that you are a prisoner of our manager, do you think the things and women on the ship still belong to you? What qualifications do you have to say that you can contribute?"
Gao Kaidao couldn't help but blush, but Luo Yi shook his head and said: "Wan Jun, you can't say that. General Gao is not a prisoner now, but a subordinate of this manager and your colleague. You can't speak so harshly to your colleagues in the future."
Xue Wanjun cracked his lips and said, "Yes, my subordinates know."
Luo Yi smiled and said generously: "I understand General Gao's wishes. Just keep those beauties for yourself and enjoy them. They should be regarded as your reward."
Gao Kaidao was stunned and asked: "Reward? I really don't understand!"
Luo Yiyin smiled and said: "You did a good job in looting Yuyang County. As long as Gao Changqing can suffer a loss and make him suffer losses, I will be very happy. The greater his losses, the happier I will be.
Therefore, General Gao, you deserve a reward."
Gao Kaidao's heart moved and he said with a ferocious smile: "I see, then from now on, my subordinates will continue to work hard and strive to make more new contributions to the General Manager."
Luo Yi gave a thumbs up and said: "General Gao is a smart man. I like smart people the most. Let's go to my tent and have a drink. While welcoming General Gao, I also calm down General Gao's shock."
"
Xue Wanjun couldn't help but secretly frowned. This Gao Kaidao seemed to be someone who was unwilling to be inferior to others. The key was that he could bend and bend. If the manager could make him surrender by just using force, I'm afraid it would be a big mistake. However,
