It’s another seventh consecutive update, please support me with monthly tickets!

The lake between Hong, Jiang and Rao is central Pengze, and under the Poyang Mountains.

It was already early in the morning, but a heavy fog covered the lake. Such a heavy fog came suddenly, and Li Chao, who had already decided to fight Liu Zhenghui to decisively, had to order a postponement.

The fleet anchored and moored in the lake.

On the boat, there was joy. Red lanterns even hung in the captain's room on the stern building of the Bashang. If it weren't for the war, I was afraid that those guys would even set off fireworks.

If you can’t set off fireworks, everyone has found a good way to celebrate, that is, have a big meal.

Being on the boat and in Poyang Lake, there are naturally fish, shrimps, turtles, and crabs that are easy to obtain. The aroma of cooking on the boat has already scattered everywhere. All the soldiers in the fleet are promoted and awarded merits, and everyone is full of joy.

When Ke Qing returned from Hanjing, he also brought the edicts from the prince and the minister of the Central Secretariat.

In front of the soldiers who were serving the king, Li Chao heard Ke Qing read out the edict loudly. The prince and the court promoted him to the Prince of Zhao, and added the title of Taifu, and gave him the Grand Marshal of the World to defend the king and fight against rebellion. He commanded the king and the troops of all the world. He also served as the governor of Jiangnan, and also commanded the military affairs of the six roads of Jiangnan.

Six roads in Jiangdong, Jiangxi, eastern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan.

This is not a reward given by Li Yuan. Although Li Yuan had already given Li Chao a title of Prince Zhao, no one took it seriously. But the title of the prince was different. This was an edict issued by the subordinates of the Zhongshu.

A real king.

Even if the title of the Supreme Emperor is not as good as the title of king, it is enough.

Shangzhu Kingdom, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Taifu, Shangshu Ling, the Grand Marshal of the World to Resist the King of War, and was also the governor of the Six Dao of Jiangnan, and Li Chao, the King of Zhao.

The other generals and soldiers of the King's Army were also rewarded. The officials were almost promoted to the first level of the official rank, and the soldiers were awarded the second transfer of medals. In addition, some major generals were awarded the title, and everyone else was rewarded.

Li Chao was also generous. Along the way, local merchants such as Yangzhou and Hongzhou donated a lot of military expenses. Li Chao directly gave each soldier ten stagnant rewards. The generals and schools increased according to their grades, and everyone was happy for a while.

They like bosses like Li Chao the most. Not only can they win battles, but they are so generous and generous.

After getting the reward here, Li Chao allowed everyone to take turns to rest and enjoy the day.

"The prince should not leave the Eastern Palace."

After Li Chao learned that the prince had voluntarily left the palace, he kept shaking his head. This decision can be said to be very immature.

"The prince is young after all."

"Yes, I'm too young. We're a little harsh on him, but he's the prince. I'm really worried that if we fight to the capital, the Supreme Emperor will be very passive when he threatens the prince and the queen."

Li Gan asked him, "If the Supreme Emperor really did this, would the teacher withdraw or surrender?"

Li Chao laughed, "How is that possible?"

Li Gan was surprised that Li Chao answered this dilemma so quickly.

"But, if you don't surrender, what should you do if the Supreme Emperor really hurts them?"

"If this is the case, there is no way."

"There's no way? That's it?"

Li Chao nodded, "If the Supreme Emperor really kills the queen or the prince, then I will avenge them. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will establish another crown prince, and His Majesty may establish another queen."

"That's it?" Li felt sweat falling from his forehead, "But the teacher likes His Royal Highness the Prince so much."

Li Chao said, "Of course I like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I also admire the virtues of the Empress. But that is a personal relationship. I cannot give up the lives of the tens of thousands of soldiers who followed me, nor will I ignore the important task of restoring peace in the world."

Lee felt very shocked.

"This is the most correct choice. If we surrender, we will not help the prince and the queen. We will only let everyone die together. If we do not surrender, maybe the Supreme Emperor will surrender. This is a dangerous game and no one wants to play, but if it really starts, we have to continue playing and play."

"We really want to do this, will we really do this?"

Li Chao looked at the fog that flowed with the wind, "This is a difficult choice. We can make it ourselves or leave it to others, for example, let the emperor choose."

Some things are cruel to say, like opening a scar of blood Mumu, but that is reality. If he hits the city of Hanjing and the Supreme Emperor wants to use the queen and prince as hostages to threaten him to surrender, he will never compromise and surrender.

This is his bottom line.

In Game of Thrones, there are no survivors, and the losers will be eaten alive. Although the prince is very smart, he is still too young. He surrendered in the face of the threat of the Supreme Emperor.

But this cannot be blamed for him, he is still too young after all.

In the third year of Zhenguan, mid-September.

In Panyang Lake.

The two fleets were approaching quickly. On one side was the huge fleet of Liu Zhenghui, which had 50,000 troops and more than 1,000 ships. On the other side, there were only more than 30 ships, and only a few thousand men to serve the King Huai Army.

The cold wind is cold, and the northwest wind is tighter.

The ship was already full of sails, cutting through the waves.

Li Chao stood on the deck and looked at the white sails in the distance.

Liu Zhenghui actually pulled all 50,000 people over, and he laughed disdainfully.

However, Li Chao did not bring all his more than 10,000 people, leaving all the grain ships and supplies ships behind, and even the troops transport ships were not taken with him.

The ships brought by Li Chao were all combat ships, and they did not load all the soldiers.

In addition to crew sailors, each ship only carries the Marines of this ship.

There were more than thirty ships, and more than a thousand ships, but Li Chao was full of confidence. This was a water battle. It was not more than transportation capabilities. The more ships Liu Zhenghui had, the more difficult it was to command. The more soldiers there were on the ship, the more inconvenient it was to move.

These are all targets, and Li Chao doesn't have to get close to them or jump to the side.

"Snatch the upper hand, the gunboats are lined up, the frigates are escorted on both sides, and the patrol ships are responsible for intercepting the enemy's rushing into the Clippers."

Li Chao began to issue orders, and the flag bearer waved the order flag and conveyed orders to other ships.

The wind is roaring!

The flag is flying!

On the wide lake, more than 30 large and small warships of the King's Army quickly unfolded their battle formations like wolves.

They are group of wolves, and the Bashang number is that wolf.

In their eyes, the more than a thousand boats in front of them were a herd of cattle and sheep. No matter how many of them were, they were just prey.

"Snatch the upper hand!"

"Steal the wind!"

The helmsman experienced begins to turn.

The whistle hand on the mast was holding a thousand-mile mirror to observe the enemy and judge the distance.

Keep reporting numbers.

In the cabin, the tall sailors were making loud orders, and teams of sailors were taking their place. The blacksmiths, carpenters and doctors on the boat also took their assistants in front of their workbench.

The Marine Corps' company commanders are already loading bullets for their muskets and checking their equipment.

The people in the gun team also began to open the gun window and pushed the gun out.

"play music!"

Li Chao shouted on the deck of the stern floor.

So, on the deck, the military band began to play a ensemble, and a magnificent music started.

"The King of Qin broke the formation and joy!"
Chapter completed!
