Chapter 271 Domineering
The news of Li Jing's death shocked all the soldiers and civilians in Ji County.

When Li Jing's head hung on the north gate, the brigade deputy led the county soldiers to kill the brigade guarding the city, opened the city gate, and welcomed Luo Yi into the city.

Luo Yi laughed loudly when he saw it, and said immediately: "Cheng'er, you led me three thousand tiger and wolf cavalry straight into Jixian County, and killed everyone you met. None of the gentry officials were allowed to leave. I will pile their heads in the city. A Beijing temple is built at the gate."

Luo Cheng couldn't help hesitating and asked, "Father really wants to kill someone?"

Luo Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, whipped the whip on Luo Cheng, and shouted: "If you tell you to kill, you will kill. No matter what you say, pass on my order. The whole army will slaughter the city. Without my order, you are not allowed to seal the knife."

All the generals were overjoyed when they heard this, Ji County is rich, as long as a few gentry are copied, the massacre of the city will surely lead to rich harvests.

At this time, a general said: "Commander, Dou Jiande is about to go north. If Ji County is slaughtered, the people will lose their support. How can we resist Dou Jiande? I think it's better to arrest them all and torture them one by one. Use, if you don’t follow, you will be killed, what do you think?”

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes when he heard that, this person is the county soldier general who has taken refuge in him, named Xu Wu, without his help, he would not be able to kill Li Jing.If Luo Yi wanted to stay in Youzhou, he had to rely on the power of the county soldiers. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "What General Xu Lang said is reasonable, I should have done it this way."

At that moment, Luo Yi took advantage of the momentum and entered Jicheng.Luo Yi now occupied Jicheng, took over the county soldiers and township soldiers, and ordered one of his generals to station in Yongnu County to keep the training with Beiping County.After taking control of Jicheng, Luo Yi immediately dispatched all the soldiers to Dasuo in the city, and all the officials of the Sui Dynasty and several prominent figures were forcibly invited here.

Luo Yi put a large pot behind the gate of the county mansion, and ordered people to burn firewood under the pot, and pour the oil into the pot to cook.When all the officials passed by, they all looked sideways in horror.

Immediately, Luo Yi demanded their allegiance as the governor of Youzhou.The people in the north of Zhuojun County are known to have a strong character, the current county Sima Douzong pointed at Luo Yi's nose in the hall and said: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will punish him." Luo Yi threw this person into the oil without saying anything. In the pot.

Dou Zong's miserable screams came from outside the door, and dozens of Zhuojun officials in the hall trembled.Luo Yi glanced at it and said domineeringly: "Who else is not convinced?"

Immediately, another five officials threw away their official robes, stood up and rushed towards Luo Yi. Luo Yi's background in the army would not be plotted by them, so they drew their swords and killed two, wounded the other three, and simply ignored the five people. The dead ones were also thrown into the frying pan.

Luo Yi looked at Lu Ziqian, said with a smile, "What do you think, Mr. Lu? Don't you know that you think I am old Luo? You want to secretly dedicate Youzhou to Li Chongjiu. I already knew it. Jing served as the general guard of Zhuo County, and he didn't want me, Lao Luo, to do it. What is Li Jing, my deadly enemy, you are willing to agree, what is this, and you backed down?"

When Lu Ziqian saw it, he cupped his hands and said: "Marshal Luo, calm down. This is not my idea, but Xue Gong appointed it. What right do I have to intervene? I don't believe the officials present, and even Xue Gong can testify .”

Luo Yi snorted after hearing this, and said, "You think I'm easy to deceive, my heart is clear."

Lu Ziqian said emphatically, "If Luo Gong doesn't believe it, I can't help it. The oil pan is outside the hall. Cook it as you like."

Luo Yi was silent after hearing this, Luo Cheng, and general Xu Wulang, the county soldier, gave him winks.

Luo Yi knew that he needed to rely on the strength of the Lu family to gain a firm foothold in Zhuo County.

Seeing Luo Yi's hesitation, several people said at once: "Grand Lu, why don't you ask the Commander to accompany you, the Commander will spare you."

Lu Ziqian sneered and remained silent for the moment.Luo Yi immediately shouted angrily: "Come here, take it down for me, and tie it up."

At that moment, several soldiers stepped forward and tied Lu Ziqian like a rice dumpling.

Luo Yi looked at the others and said, "Who else wants to be like him?"

Seeing that Lu Ziqian's capital had been captured, an official stood up, glanced at Luo Yi, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to Luo Yi, and said loudly: "I would like to regard Duke Luo as the leader of Youzhou!" My lord, I am willing to hold the horse." The rest of the officials did not dare to say anything, and all knelt down to pay their allegiance to Luo Yi.

Luo Yi was overjoyed to see this, and immediately issued a letter to the counties in his own name, asking them to surrender.Counties in Zhuo County reacted differently upon hearing this, and most of them fell into hesitation. No one gathered troops to attack Luo Yi, and no one surrendered to Luo Yi.

In the Lu Mansion, after Lu Ziqian was captured, it was already in chaos.In the Lu Mansion, hundreds of Qubu Zhuang Ding of his own family were distributed with bows, arrows and long knives to guard Zhuangzi to prevent Luo Yi from storming the Lu Mansion.

In the back hall, all the female family members of the Lu family were gathered in one building, where the abbots of Lu Chisong and Lu Ziqian's mothers lived.Although the old lady is more than 70 years old, she came from a wealthy family when she was young. She leaned on a cane and comforted the women in the family one by one, saying that she needs to be calm when encountering major events.

The female family members of the Lu family felt a little more at ease, but the old lady is also a smart person, and she understands the truth that there is no way to lose eggs under the nest. Stand up to the storm of the real army.After being breached at that time, it will be their female relatives who will suffer the most.

The Lu family is the No. 1 family in Zhuo County. The women in the family do not marry when they are idlers. If they are ruined by soldiers, life would be worse than death.

Be careful here, the old lady, now the Lu family is in charge.Lu Chengqing was sitting in the inner hall, and several nobles who could be called the prefects of Zhuojun sent people to Lu Chengqing's house to discuss how to rescue Lu Ziqian.

Lu Chengqing was not a decisive person, and it was not a solution to negotiate and negotiate. In the end, it was agreed to give Luo Yi a sum of money and grain, and just redeem Lu Ziqian.But there are also a few people who say that this will only fuel Luo Yi's ambition and appetite.

After discussing for a while, after the others retreated, Lu Chengqing paced alone for a while, then gritted his teeth, and called a confidant over and said, "Director Dong has been away to Anle County for several days, and he should be back, but right now there is no news. Apparently the negotiation failed, so you go there for me, and talk to Li Chongjiu about everything that needs to be negotiated, and talk about it after Luo Yi is broken, otherwise Youzhou will be owned by Luo Yi, and the surnamed Li won't get anything. You will keep it a secret tonight. Get out of town without delay."

"Go back and tell Brother Lu, let's do it this way." In the big camp of Anle County, Li Chongjiu clapped his hands and laughed, and immediately went to live with the manager of the Lu family and Dong.

The situation in Ji County was within his expectations. Li Chongjiu immediately said to the generals with a serious face: "Written to the counties in Zhuo County, it is said that Luo Yi will go against the law and kill General Li. I will lead my troops to attack."

"Immediately order Su Su and Gao Chu to lead their troops from Shanggu County and our army from Anle County. The two armies will join forces at the base of Ji County to destroy Luo Yi."

"No." All the generals suddenly took orders.
