Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311 Battle of Sanjiangkou (2)

"Thank you, Prime Minister! The minister has lived up to the expectations of the Prime Minister!" Wang Lang was overjoyed, he cupped his hands, and withdrew. He wanted to go back and write a letter to Zhou Yu.

After Wang Lang left, Li Song said: "Li Sunchen!" He couldn't persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, so it's better to prepare for the water battle.

"The last general is here!" Li Shunchen stepped out, clasped his fists and saluted.

Li Songdao: "Ru Xie, how is your Pingjiang Fleet training? Can you fight?"

Li Shunchen said: "Prime Minister! Most of my Pingjiang Fleet are former Shenlong Navy officers and soldiers, who know the essentials of water warfare. The Jingzhou Navy is also not bad, and there is no problem in going to battle."

Li Shunchen's answer made Li Song very satisfied, as long as the strength is not weakened after the reorganization, this time the battle at Sanjiangkou must let Zhou Yu know how powerful it is.

"Okay! I order you to lead the Pingjiang Fleet to Sanjiangkou, and prepare to fight the Jiangdong Navy. Can this battle be won?" Li Song ordered.

"I dare not trust you! The battlefield is changing rapidly! No one can guarantee that I will be able to secure the victory. I am willing to do my best to defeat the enemy." Li Sunchen said.

"Okay! That's the decision. Your Pingjiang Fleet will launch the first shot in the Battle of Sanjiangkou." Li Song said.

Everyone was confused. Didn't the prime minister ask Wang Lang to write a letter to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender?Why do you have to send troops to Sanjiangkou to fight against the Jiangdong Navy.

"Prime Minister! Since you have ordered the admonishing doctor to write a letter to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, why bother so much?" Jiang Gan said.

Zhou Yu is determined to be loyal to the Jiangdong Sun family, so how could he be persuaded to surrender, let alone a letter, maybe he won't even read it, and you all underestimate Zhou Yu's integrity.

"Hmph!" Li Song snorted coldly, and angrily said, "Zi Yi, are you questioning the truth's decision?"

Looking at Li Song's sharp gaze, Jiang Gan thumped in fright, fell to his knees, and said, "I dare not question the prime minister! Please also enlighten the prime minister!"

"Forget it, get up!" Li Song said, Jiang Qian thanked him a lot, stood up and stood aside, Li Song continued: "Everyone, step back!"

"No!" The civil and military officials saluted and retreated.

The envoy sent to deliver a letter to Zhou Yu came back, but he could not see the envoy, but only saw something in the arms of the envoy's attendant. When he opened it, he found out that it was the envoy's head.

"What's going on here?" Wang Lang asked hastily.

"My lord, Zhou Yu tore up the letter, beheaded the envoy, let the villain bring it back, and threatened to take the head of the prime minister and make it a chamber pot." The envoy's attendant said.

Li Song sneered after hearing this, and everyone was very angry when they heard it. Pei Yuanqing took a step forward and scolded: "Presumptuous! How dare you insult the prime minister here with nonsense! See if I won't smash you with a hammer."

The envoy's entourage was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "General, please forgive me! General, please forgive me! This is what Zhou Yu said, and it has nothing to do with the younger one."

"Okay! Yuan Qing, don't blame him for this." After Li Song finished speaking, he turned around and said, "Do you know what Zhou Yu's navy is doing?"

The main goal of sending them is the movement of the Jiangdong Navy, not sending a letter, which is just incidental.

"Report to the Prime Minister! When the villain came back, Zhou Yu ordered Ling Tong to be the vanguard, Han Dang to be the left wing, and Jiang Qin to be the right wing. Zhou Yu personally led the generals to meet him. In the coming day, he will make meals at four o'clock and sail at five o'clock. With drums and shouts, they marched straight to Sanjiangkou."

"You go down first!" Li Song said, since Zhou Yu planned to fight at Sanjiangkou first, let's fight.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" That man seemed to be pardoned!He kowtowed to thank him and withdrew.

"Everyone has seen it! Zhou Yu is very rampant! If you don't give him a look, you might think we are afraid of him." Li Song looked at the civil and military officials and said.

Li Song went on to say: "Zhou Yu beheaded our court envoys and tore up the court's letters. It is a heinous crime! Li Shunchen and Zhang Yun ordered you to lead the Pingjiang Fleet as the front, and I personally led the army as the rear. Set off immediately and send troops to Sanjiangkou. "

"Promise!" Li Shunchen and Zhang Yun clasped their fists in salute, turned and left, leading the Pingjiang Fleet one step ahead, and Li Song led the army to follow behind.

"Report!" In Zhou Yu's camp, Zhou Yu was preparing to dispatch troops. A soldier rushed in and knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the Commander! The enemy's Pingjiang fleet is coming towards our army."

"Oh! What a big tone, you actually want to pacify me in Jiangdong, who is the commander of the enemy navy?" Zhou Yu asked with a look of disdain.

"To the Commander-in-Chief! The enemy general is Yi Sun-shin," said the soldier.

Zhou Yu frowned, thinking it was Cai Hao, Zhang Yun and others, but he never thought he was an unknown person, it's just who is this Li Shunchen.

"Does anyone know who exactly this Li Sun-shin is?" Zhou Yu asked.

The generals shook their heads and said, "I haven't heard of it before, so how would I know who this person is?"

Zhou Yu laughed, thinking that this battle must be won, this water battle is not something just anyone can do, if this Li Sunshin is really a master of water warfare, how could he be able to hide it from them.

When Li Sunchen came to Gan Ning's command, it happened to be the time when Gan Ning and Sun Quan suspended the war. Li Sunchen had no room to play. Except for Li Song who knew some of his strength, the others didn't know it at all.

When Li Sunchen's Pingjiang fleet came to Sanjiangkou, they saw Soochow ships coming from the river.The leading general, sitting on the bow of the boat, shouted: "I am Jiangdong Ling Tongye! Who dares to come and fight me?"

"Move the boat closer!" Seeing this, Li Sunchen ordered the warship to move closer, just in time for the enemy ship to be within the effective shooting range of his own bow and arrow, but where the enemy army could not shoot.

As soon as he entered the effective shooting range, Li Sunchen personally drew his bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards Ling Tong. Ling Tong was caught off guard and fell down.The Jiangdong army could not resist, Jiang Qin on the right, and Han Dang on the left, quickly drove the warships to rescue the forward navy who was targeted by the enemy.

The Pingjiang Fleet is composed mostly of soldiers from the Shenlong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy. They know the essentials of water warfare. If the two sides haven't gotten along well, the combat effectiveness will be stronger. Under the command of the generals, the Jiangdong Navy is no match.

Seeing the left and right wings of the enemy navy criss-crossing the water, Li Shunchen swooped down with his raised right hand, and the two warships, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed out quickly and tangled with the left and right wings of the Jiangdong navy.

This time, in order to test the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Navy, the Pingjiang Fleet was not equipped with firearms, and all of them fought hand to hand.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw this!He hastened to urge the boats to help the battle. If these navy divisions were defeated, he would not be able to explain to Sun Quan. After the two armies fought, there were countless arrows and cannons in the Jiangdong army, and they killed them from the end of the day to the end of the day.

The Jiangdong Navy was beaten by the Pingjiang Fleet commanded by Li Sunchen. Zhou Yu saw that his heart was bleeding, but he had no choice. Zhou Yu immediately led the remaining warships to leave here.

Seeing that Zhou Yu had fled, Li Sunchen ordered the gold to be called and the boats taken in.
