Turbulent Times Chapter 1052: Smart head

Seeing that Luo Shixin arranged for people to stand in front of the stronghold to surrender, Yang Kongchan said: "These pirates are people who commit all kinds of crimes. If it wasn't for your lord's need for labor, let's kill them all..."

"No matter what kind of person you are, if you live with pirates on a pirate island for a period of time, as long as you can survive, or in order to survive, you will become a villain. This is like a sheep that can never survive in a pack of wolves. ..." Of course Wang Junlin knew the virtues of pirates, they have been the cruelest group since ancient times, much more cruel than bandits and robbers on land.

"I heard that Japanese navy officers and soldiers are no different from pirates. They often dress up as pirates to rob maritime merchants." Yang Kongchan said sarcastically.

"Wa country! This country is a small island country, but its population has a strong reproductive capacity. The population density is actually not smaller than the prosperous place of the Sui Dynasty, but the living resources are limited, and natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons frequently occur. , the living resources on the island cannot satisfy all of them at all, which has led them to be very predatory since ancient times. This is actually the same as that of the northern nomads in the past dynasties. Looting is a truth." Wang Junlin said rationally.

Yang Kongchan felt that the words the prefect just said were a bit weird, but he also understood what Wang Junlin said, so he nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, if you leave Dami Island and Baekling Island, aren't you afraid that Goguryeo will suddenly attack the two islands at this time?" Yang Kongchan's worry actually arose when Luo Shixin and Yang Xuanba led people to attack the two pirate islands. Yes, it was only at this time that I asked.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Not counting the three pirates deceived by Yuan Tae-joo, Goguryeo has just lost 10,000 sailors. Dissent, objection, and then the troops can be redeployed."

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin sneered and continued: "What's more, Yuan Taizuo is only a prime minister, at most he is only a minister of power, and Gao Jianwu, the lord of Goguryeo, is young, but he is not an ordinary person. Although it is powerful, it is impossible to control the entire Goguryeo like before, so Yuan Tae-joo will be under a lot of pressure now, although because of hatred and fear of me, plus Yuan Tae-joo needs a war to restore him in the early stage Due to the loss of prestige, he had to fight against Omi Island and Baekling Island again, but because of this, Yuan Taizuo couldn't afford to lose this battle, he had to be fully prepared, at least in his opinion, he would only send troops if he could defeat us."

"It's just that I have been a little worried," Yang Kongchan said, "Dami Island and Baengling Island only have 4,000 people. If Goguryeo gathers tens of thousands of people to attack at once, can we stop it!"

Wang Junlin shook his head slightly, remembering the latest news from Guoer Rang White-bellied Sea Eagle, and said with an unfathomable smile: "The next battle between Yuan Taizuo and us has actually begun, maybe we will win the battle." Negative is no longer on the battlefield.”

Yang Kongchan seems to have realized something, and said: "Your Excellency, do you want to intensify the conflict between Gao Jianwu, the ruler of Goguryeo, and Yuan Taizuo, so that there will be troubles in Goguryeo?"

"I had this idea before, and I ordered Guo'er to try it, but the young ruler of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, was quite cautious and was not fooled."

Wang Junlin didn't say anything further, Yang Kongchan still had doubts in her heart, but since Wang Junlin didn't say anything, she couldn't ask further.

Hesitating for a while, she showed a charming smile, and continued: "If I were Gao Jianwu, the lord of Goguryeo, I would not tear myself apart with Yuan Taizuo when my lord, a powerful enemy like you, was watching, but waited After Yuan Taizuo goes to war with us, we will talk about it according to the situation."

"It seems that Gao Jianwu is as smart as you." Wang Junlin said with a smile.

Yang Kongchan said: "Your Excellency led people to seize Dayi Island and Bailing Island this time, which has actually given Gao Jianwu an excellent opportunity to regain the royal power. But it is also the transfer of Yuan Taizuo, who has been questioned by domestic noble officials. An excellent means of contradiction and vision..."

"Your little head is not simple." Wang Junlin looked at Yang Kongchan and praised: "You have a strong sense of the overall situation, and you can see the situation in Goguryeo, which is not easy."

Yang Kongchan's pretty face flushed, Wang Junlin's words seemed to be flirting, and there was a sense of intimacy.

…

…

The pirates on Duobao Island have two main strongholds, one is the port water village, which was fully prepared, but Luo Shixin rushed in with his own strength, disrupting the deployment of the pirates, and easily lost the water village port , and lost hundreds of people.

When the pirates at the port fled to the walled city in the middle of the island, Luo Shixin led his men in hot pursuit. The pirates in the city came out to meet them. In the end, the pirates left more than a hundred corpses and barely retreated to the city wall. Now the pirates in the city wall can only fight more than 600 people.

Because it was on an island, the city was not well built. The surrounding walls were actually not very high. Once the city was breached, the pirates would have nowhere to go except desperately. But with the two fierce battles in the port and the valley, the pirates knew that the melee combat was no match for the thousand sailors led by Luo Shixin.

Faced with such a desperate situation, the pirate leader intends to accept Tai Sui's offer.

It's just that Wang Junlin put forward the harsh condition of "surrender". Of course, the pirates refused to accept it.

Wang Junlin was not surprised by the reaction of the pirates, but Luo Shixin was greatly disappointed, because the competition between him and Li Xuanba was based on the number of prisoners, not the number of enemies killed.

No matter how regretful it is, Luo Shixin has already led people to prepare for attacking the stronghold, and no longer pins his hopes on recruiting and surrendering. With the assistance of the military commander, he went to prepare to attack the stronghold.

…

…

On Big Turtle Island, which is more than three hundred miles away from Duobao Island, there is still a group of more powerful pirates.

The leader of this group of pirates was originally a great nobleman of the Silla Kingdom. In the early years, he had a deadly feud with the lord of the Silla Kingdom. He could not survive in the Silla Kingdom, so he fled to the sea with his family and subordinates. , Occupying the Big Turtle Island, after more than ten years of development, the force is no less than 6,000, and they control three or four small islands nearby. They can be regarded as the strongest pirates of this generation.

The pirates on Big Turtle Island saw Wang Junlin approaching aggressively, so they also sent people over to watch the situation.

In addition, there are spies from other pirate forces either on the nearby islands, or on sentry ships in the far sea, watching the situation here.
