But Li Yin thought in his heart, with this battle merit alone, when the time came to reward the merits, he was afraid that it would still be a little difficult to be promoted to captain.

"Looks like we'll have to fight a few more battles!" Li Yin thought in his heart.

Along with Li Yin Cexun's second turn, there is also the next step of Laihu'er's plan: after quickly eliminating the enemy troops south of Scorpion Island, continue to capture the islands near the Liaodong Peninsula!

Li Yin looked at the map of the sea area, and according to his idea, it was best to directly occupy the islands near the mouth of the Hunsu (Taedong River) on the Korean Peninsula, so that the army could attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo, along the Hunshui River.

However, considering that the supply line is too long, it is too risky to attack directly, and even if it is occupied, the impact will be too great, I am afraid that it will make Goryeo counterattack frantically, and he will definitely not be able to hold it with his little manpower, so this plan will be discussed later.

After a few more days, Laihu'er finally sent a special garrison to guard Scorpion Island, and Li Yin also felt that his troops had rested enough, so after replenishing supplies, he set sail again, led the warship, and sailed to the northwest.

They sailed all the way to the northwest, and arrived at the important supply transfer station of the sailor division more than ten days later, Linyu Pass, also called Linlu Pass, that is, the Shanhaiguan Pass of later generations, was the city built in the first three years of Emperor Wen's opening of the emperor, here the north is surrounded by the mountain, the south is bordered by the sea, the mountain and the sea are only a few miles apart, and the terrain is really dangerous.

At this time, because the northeast border of the Sui Dynasty is close to the northeast, although the terrain of Linyuguan is dangerous, but it is not much valued, and it is only an important supply station of the water division, until the time of the Song and Ming dynasties, it became the border, and it became the throat of the Central Plains Dynasty.

At this time, it was the middle of August, when Li Yin was resting in Linyu Pass, he went out of the pass when he had nothing to do, and found that there were homeless people everywhere, and after a little inquiry, it turned out that there was a flood in Shandong and Henan, which flooded more than 30 counties, and killed and injured countless people.

The survivors didn't know how to live, and the government refused to release grain for disaster relief without the emperor's order, so they had to hold on to a glimmer of hope and walked to Zhuo County, because Yang Guang was in Zhuo County.

However, many people died halfway through, and some simply fell into the grass, and there were many more thieves in the world at once.

Li Yin returned to Linyu Pass with a heavy heart, and set off again with his army the next day.

……

Half a month later, Li Yin sat on the deck a little embarrassed, panting and said to Zhou An: "Is there still an enemy chasing after him?" ”

Zhou An looked at it for a while and replied, "Finally got rid of us." ”

Li Yin wiped a handful of sweat and said with a smile: "These dogs, if they can really chase them, they are about to drive us back to Linyu Pass!" ”

In the past half a month, Li Yin's operation has not been very smooth, although they have successfully captured the islands near the Liaodong Peninsula and looted a lot of supplies, but they were soon driven away by the Goryeo soldiers on the peninsula.

One of the most important cities on this peninsula of Goryeo is called Beixu City (or Beisha City, Bixu City, misrepresented as Shabei City, northwest of present-day Fuxian County, Liaoning), and there are tens of thousands of Goryeo garrisons in the city, which are often out of the city these days to pursue Li Yin and others.

The humble city was originally the land of the fertile country, located in the middle of the big black mountain, the south two peaks and the adjacent ridges, the stone wall is built with the mountain, there are cliffs on three sides, only the west gate can enter the city, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and "the guard with Liaoyang, the wings of Guangning, the hole in the northwest, the throat of the sea, the left of Liao!" ”

Under the pursuit of the defenders of Beilu City, Li Yin's men have broken a few good hands, but this is already a very good result, because there are many other brigades that have been killed or wounded by the defenders of Beixu City.

The location of the city is so important, and there are so many defenders, if it is in the hands of the early Koreans, Li Yin feels that he can only stay in Linyu Pass, otherwise it will only increase casualties.

He didn't think about leading his army to capture the city of Beiluxe, with such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, any strategic calculations would become ineffective.

However, the situation soon took a turn for the better, because Laihu'er finally waited for Yang Guang's order to attack the city of Beilu and sweep away the obstacles of the Qing Shui Division's march to Pyongyang.

So, 70,000 sailors went out to sea from Donglai, first arrived at Linyu Pass, rested for a few days, and then came to the Liaodong Peninsula magnificently.

The army also brought a lot of top-notch siege equipment, and after it was installed, it bombarded the city indiscriminately, knocking the walls of the city into several places, and the defenders in the city were all frightened.

Then the soldiers attacked, but the effect was not ideal, for more than half a month, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, and they failed to take the humble city.

Because there was only one side of the city that could be attacked, the Sui army could not give full play to the advantage of troops, so the battle was extremely hard.

Li Yin was also in the army at this time, and he was the team that returned when he led the army to Linyu Pass, and he and his team did not participate in the battle in the past half month, but were responsible for transporting food.

It's not that Laihu'er deliberately didn't let them participate in the war, it's just that when the task was assigned, they just happened to be drawn to transport food.

Li Yin was also happy to be idle, but on this day, the herald suddenly announced an order to him, asking him to go to the general's camp immediately.

Li Yin hurried to the camp tent, walked in, and couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the idleness in the camp tent.

There were many people sitting in the general's camp tent at this time, and the highest position was of course here to protect the children, but the lowest was also the general of Yingyanglang, Li Yin's boss and captain Tang Jian, who was also not here.

Li Yin kept guessing in his heart what he was going to do when he called a small brigade commander to come here?

"Have I been hiding the seizures to the ground?" After Li Yin thought of this, he was shocked, but he still looked at Laihu'er with the same face as usual, and stood aside, waiting for the next step.

Lai Hu'er and the other generals did not speak immediately, but slapped him up and down in the face with a strange gaze, which made Li Yin feel furious in his heart.

Zhou Fashang coughed, broke the silence, and smiled at Li Yin: "You are Li Yin, the generals are very interested in your surprise attack on Scorpion Island, so you can tell everyone about it!" ”

Li Yin saw that Zhou Fa Shang was kind and kind, which made him feel very cordial, so he didn't think much about it, and explained the battle process that day in more detail, of course, the matter of embezzling and seizing materials was automatically skipped.

After Li Yin finished speaking, everyone, including Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, fell into deep thought, and there was silence in the camp, and the needles could be heard.

After a while, Lai Hu'er stared at Li Yin with both eyes, and said sternly: "Since you can lead people to break into the fortress of more than a zhang, can you be sure now, jump over the three cliffs of this humble city, enter the city, and open the city gate for my army?" ”
