In short, Gan Ziqi believed that he had the power and qualifications to negotiate with Wang Junlin, or even have an equal dialogue. However, after a short battle, he discovered that the opponent's victory over Goguryeo's 15,000 navy with 4,000 men was not a rumor.
Ships are basically invincible at sea. Even if they focus on defense, they can't stop the opponent's catapults and long-range crossbows. Facing such sharp long-range attack weapons, only the walls of big cities on land can suffice, and those on islands can't stop them.
The walled city cannot stop it at all.
Gan Ziqi remained silent, his face uncertain.
Next to him, Cui Yongxiong, the leader of the three leaders of Dagui Island, flashed his eyes and shouted: "Island Master, in my opinion, the so-called assassination was directed and performed by Wang Junlin. Otherwise, why did their navy attack so quickly? It was clearly
We have been prepared for a long time, just to find an excuse to attack our big turtle island."
The Cui Yongxiong who spoke was a noble who followed Gan Ziqi and fled from Silla to Dagui Island. Because his entire clan escaped at that time, there were hundreds of people in the clan plus bodyguards and servants. They were the main team members of Dagui Island in the earliest times.
They are the three leaders on Dagui Island.
Gan Ruoxing looked at Cui Yongxiong bitterly, gritted his teeth and said: "Island Master, then Wang Junlin also let Zixing see more than 20 prisoners, all of whom are subordinates of the three leaders."
When Cui Yongxiong heard this, his expression changed. The people he sent were all dead soldiers. Logically speaking, even if the assassination failed, there would be no problem in committing suicide. How could so many people be captured? But he didn't know that the people he sent were related to
Compared with the people behind Wang Junlin, the difference in strength was too great. These twenty people were captured alive without even a chance to commit suicide. What's more, the so-called dead soldiers in his eyes were no longer dead soldiers when they fell into Wang Junlin's hands.
.
Gan Ziqi looked surprisingly calm and sighed: "Zixing, actually I was just waiting for your words. Let's do it!"
As soon as Gan Ziqi finished speaking, Cui Yongxiong felt something bad. He was about to ask the guards to protect him and first distance himself from Gan Ziqi, and then went to greet his direct followers. Unexpectedly, a personal guard who had been standing next to him suddenly drew his sword.
The sword flashed and Cui Yongxiong's head was cut off directly.
There was a panic at the scene. Some of Cui Yongxiong's other guards began to run away, some tried to avenge Cui Yongxiong, and some simply knelt down and surrendered.
"Kill them all." Gan Ziqi hated Cui Yongxiong to death. He had already suspected that Cui Yongxiong was responsible last night, but he had no evidence and couldn't take action, so he waited until now.
…
…
More than two hours later, the civil strife on Dagui Island was calmed down. All the key members of Cui Yongxiong's group of pirates were killed, as well as their family members and loyalists. A total of more than 500 people were killed. Others were easily killed by Gan Zi.
Strangely subdued.
"Prepare the boat to take me to Firebird Island. I want to meet Wang Junlin!" Gan Ziqi sighed and said.
Gan Ruoxing and the left and right warriors were stunned. They did not expect that the island owner would surrender to the enemy camp in person under such circumstances. Li Guangrui, the first staff member, also turned pale with horror and advised: "The island owner must not do it. Let the humble official go on behalf of the island owner."
Just talk to Wang Junlin."
"If I don't go, how can I prove that the assassination of director Cui Yongxiong last night had nothing to do with me?"
"Also, you also saw the scene where Wang Junlin's navy attacked Firebird Island just now. Can our remaining five thousand pirates stop the opponent? Even if they do, it will be a miserable victory. The opponent can go back and try to force the army to attack again.
You don’t understand that in the Sui Dynasty, some were people and some were armies.”
"In fact, as long as we win miserably and don't wait until Wang Junlin arrives with his army, you think other large groups of pirates nearby will not take action against us."
Gan Ziqi said a few words in one breath, and everyone didn't know how to dissuade him.
"It's just the island owner. I heard that Wang Junlin is good at poisoning. What if he poisons the island owner and then controls the island owner?" Li Guangrui advised, "In short, it is too dangerous for the island owner to go there. Once the island owner is poisoned by Wang
If King's Landing poisons or detains it, the Great Turtle Island will fall apart!"
"But if I don't go, we will fall directly into death." Gan Ziqi sighed, "It's all my negligence. I didn't expect that beast Cui Yongxiong had been bribed by Li Zhongyi and the king, which led to that last night.
There was an assassination, and now we are at fault. Regardless of whether Wang Junlin originally wanted to find an excuse to attack us, we have no choice now. Moreover, after we are destroyed, if the news spreads, the pirates in this area will only think that
It's just us who are stupid, and most of us are thinking about the Silla Kingdom and not
The same enemy will be angry because we were destroyed, so the king has no scruples when he comes to attack us."
Li Guangrui sighed, knowing that the island owner was right. Only by going there in person can he avoid the destruction of the Big Turtle Island.
Li Guangrui no longer stopped him, but Gan Ruoxing, Gan Ruohai and others from the Gan family understood their grandfather's self-sacrifice, but the trip was too dangerous, so they knelt down and hugged his thigh, refusing to let go.
Gan Ziqi asked the people around to drag Gan Ruoxing and Gan Ruohai away, and said with a stern expression: "If Wang Junlin really detains me, you will never surrender because they threaten my life. If he tries to control me with poison, then he will
Wrong idea..."
"Island owner, please rest assured, we will never live up to your grandfather's trust!" Li Guangrui and others knelt down and swore.
…
…
There was an assassination in advance, so Wang Junlin sent troops to Dagui Island and made a name for himself. After occupying Firebird Island, with the sharpness of their navy ships, they could easily trap more than 30,000 people on Dagui Island on Dagui Island.
Next, Wang Junlin had more capital to discuss cooperation issues with Gan Ziqi. This was Wang Junlin's original intention to boldly send troops to capture Firebird Island and force troops to attack Dagui Island.
The owner of Dagui Island and the head of the Gan family, Gan Ziqi Guzhou, came to Firebird Island to plead his innocence. Wang Junlin was not too surprised. He had originally facilitated this, or he had forced the other party to take the initiative to see him.
Then he begged himself to let them live.
Someone brought Gan Ziqi in and said to Yang Kongchan who was beside him: "If Gan Ziqi can come over, this matter will be considered a success. The next step will be to see if Gan Ziqi has the ability to do this for us."
"It's hard to control your abilities if you're strong. If you're not strong enough, it'll be fine. The worst thing you can do is send some people over to be his deputies and assistants." Yang Kongchan said with a smile.
Wang Junlin nodded, expressing that he believed what Yang Kongchan said was true. When he saw Yang Kongchan getting up to get out of the way, he said, "You stay and meet Gan Ziqi from the Big Turtle Island with me!"
Yang Kongchan just lifted up her skirt and was about to stand up. When she heard what Wang Junlin said, she hesitated for a moment and felt happy. She straightened her skirt and sat down again, thinking that she had now completely gained the adults' trust!
