Li Yin cut off the head of Yuan Datong and inserted it into the spear, and shouted loudly: "Your commander is dead, my 100,000 troops of the Great Sui are coming, now those who surrender can be spared death, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

After Li Yin finished speaking, he only heard a "clang" sound, and a Goryeo soldier took the lead in putting the weapon in his hand to the ground.

"The commander is dead, and the army of the Sui Dynasty is coming again, how can you resist?" More than half of the soldiers also threw down their weapons and surrendered, and the remaining half of them rushed out of the fortress and took refuge elsewhere, and a few who were brave enough to not be afraid of death grabbed their weapons and killed Li Yin, but soon they were in a different place.

After Li Yin arranged for all the captives to be imprisoned, Zhou An had people cut off the heads of various officers on Scorpion Island, and got embalming things, and prepared to send them to Donglai for merit.

Li Yin said: "Let's not be busy telling the above, I guess that the guards of some nearby islands will abandon the islands and flee, and we will occupy a few more islands." ”

Zhou An asked: "Then if you encounter some defenders who are still holding on, do you want to fight down?" ”

Li Yin shook his head and smiled: "Those hard bones that are difficult to gnaw, just leave them to the friendly army, there is no need to take all the credit." ”

As Li Yin expected, the defenders of some nearby islands heard that the soldiers who had fled from Scorpion Island said that Yuan Datong was dead, and after Scorpion Island was occupied by the Sui army, they immediately packed up and fled to Goryeo overnight.

This made Li Yin effortlessly collect several islands in one connection and seize countless materials.

Li Yin didn't want to hand over all these materials, and by chance, he found a cave suitable for storing things on Scorpion Island, so he hid half of the seized materials in it, and the remaining half was sealed and handed over.

After harvesting the results, Li Yin sent someone to Donglai to repay his merits, and he continued to rest on Scorpion Island.

……

On this day, Lu Ping, the brigade commander who led his subordinates to laugh at Li Yin, walked towards Donglai Taishou Mansion in high spirits.

When the people around saw Lupin, they were all in awe.

"He's the brigade commander who pulled out three Goryeo strongholds in five days?"

"Yes, it's him, such a record, no wonder he can be favored by the chief manager."

"I heard that in his last battle, he attacked more than 300 defenders of the enemy, and it only took an hour to defeat him, and his own side suffered less than 50 casualties, which is really powerful!"

Lu Ping listened to these people's discussions, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, thinking: "One day, I will make my name Fan Yang Lu famous all over the world!" ”

At the same time, he suddenly thought of Li Yin and his "Shrinking Turtle Brigade", and secretly made up his mind: "This time I meet the chief manager, I must suggest to him that this kind of black sheep in the army be eliminated!" ”

Lu Ping entered the Taishou Mansion, and after walking for a while under the guidance of people, he finally met Lai Hu'er, who was still handling official business.

Laihu'er put down the paperwork in his hand and was about to talk to Lu Ping, when he saw Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the Pyongyang Provincial March, striding in and saying, "General, a great victory!" "Because Lai Hu'er also holds the position of General Youyiwei, some people are still used to calling him a general.

After listening to Zhou Fashang's words, Lai Hu'er immediately stood up and asked, "But the Holy Lord has defeated Goryeo?" ”

Zhou Fashang's expression froze, "This...... I didn't receive any news from the Holy One. ”

Laihu'er sat down again, and said suspiciously: "Then where did the big victory you said come from?" ”

Lu Ping on the side also pricked up his ears, wondering if there was a great victory in addition to the emperor.

Zhou Fashang took out the merit book from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Lai Hu'er, "Brigade Marshal Li Yin has invaded Scorpion Island, and killed the enemy general Yuan Datong and others, and occupied five nearby islands, and now the islands south of Scorpion Island have become turtles in the urn!" ”

"What!" When Laihu'er and Lupin heard this, they were both taken aback.

"Can the heads of Yuan Datong and others be confirmed? There is no possibility of counterfeiting. Lai Hu'er still asked with some disbelief.

Zhou Fashang said in an affirmative tone: "It has been confirmed, and none of them are fake." ”

Lai Hu'er exhaled a breath of turbidity, and thought in his heart: "This concubine of the Li family, it seems that he really underestimated him before, and he has such a ability." ”

"General, how do you think this should be rewarded? Do you need to give this great victory to the Holy One? Zhou Fashang asked.

After thinking for a while, Lai Hu'er said in a deep voice: "First and second, after the war, let's reward it together, this kind of good news, don't disturb the saint, wait until we enter Pyongyang City and capture Gao Yuan alive!" ”

Zhou Fashang said: "General, I think this is inappropriate, now that my Sui Dynasty and the Goryeo army have not yet started a war, now if Li Yin's good news can be hyped in the army, it can play a role in boosting morale, so I suggest that it is appropriate to report to the Holy Lord." ”

Laihu'er stood up unhappily, and then walked away without saying a word.

Zhou Fashang sighed and walked out, leaving only Lu Ping, who was at a loss.

Many people among the sailors know that Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang are actually a little contradictory, in fact, Yang Guang will transfer them together precisely because of the contradiction between the two of them. Although Yang Guang regards Hu'er as a cronie in the future and uses him very much, he will still use some imperial power techniques on him.

Zhou Fashang was born in a family of eunuchs, his great-grandfather Zhou Qiang was the prince of the Southern Qi Dynasty, his grandfather Zhou Lingqi was the general of the Zhige in the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Taishou of Yiyang, and was knighted as the county of Baocheng, and his father was the world-famous King Zhou Jiong of Chiting.

Zhou Fashang himself since he became an adult, he has repeatedly made military exploits, in the defeat of Nanchen, Lingnan counterinsurgency, attack Tuyuhun and other battles, each battle has made great achievements, not only that, he also served several times as a civilian official such as the assassin and Taishou, during his tenure, he is also quite accomplished.

Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang have cooperated since they attacked Nanchen Station, but it may be that the eight characters do not match, and every time the two deal with things, there are many big and small differences, so that many contradictions are gradually formed.

After Li Yin rested on Scorpion Island for three days, he received the news that he had been transferred to the second place, and he was very satisfied with this result.

Generally speaking, every time a war is fought, it is only after the war is over that meritorious deeds are rewarded, so that the soldiers who have been rewarded will be proud and complacent before the war is over, and those who have no merit will be dissatisfied.

Every time you get a meritorious service, you will be awarded a turn of victory, and a war will be able to get up to 12 merits. That's why there is a saying in "Mulan Ci" that "the twelve turns of the strategy are rewarded with hundreds of thousands of strong".
