Chapter 2868 The old man allows you to pursue the remnants of the Japanese country, you must remember
When the setting sun was as bright as blood, there were still raging fires spreading across the vast sea, burning over a radius of more than ten miles.
Broken planks and masts are everywhere on the sea, as well as burning broken ships that are struggling not to sink completely.
From time to time, people jumped into the sea, either to avoid the increasingly burning fire, or to escape in time from the rapidly sinking warship.
Crying, wailing, and calls for help were heard one after another on the entire sea surface. At this moment, Datang's navy warships were prone to accidents in order to avoid chasing enemy ships at night.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cheered one after another, and all the warships lit up their lanterns in a majestic manner, which reflected on the sea like stars.
The navy of the Tang Dynasty had stopped chasing. Li Ji and Cheng Sanlang had a tacit understanding to hand over the finishing work after the battle to Pao Ze, who had not participated in the battle before.
After all, it allows them to take some credit, isn't it? After such a big victory, they must let the brothers under their command get the rain and dew equally, so that they can lead the team in the future.
In this battle, the Japanese fleet had been blown away by the gunboats encircling it from both sides. Under the raging artillery fire, it was blown to pieces.
The Japanese fleet, which was too densely formed, suffered heavy losses and even killed each other in order to find a way to escape.
In the end, less than half of the Japanese fleet was able to escape the battlefield, and most of the ships were injured.
When Cheng Chubi led a group of soldiers and rushed to Li Ji, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty strode forward and couldn't help but raise his hand and punch Cheng Sanlang lightly in the chest.
"You kid, it was enough to show off on land in the past, but now you are also showing off on the sea."
"It seems that you, Cheng Sanlang, can stop the bad reputation of children crying at night, and you are destined to become famous all over the world..."
"???" Cheng Chubi's originally cheerful face suddenly froze, and he always felt that there was a strong irony in what this old guy said when he praised him.
The crowd of friends behind the butt, as well as the Dengzhou Navy officers and soldiers, all made loud noises.
"Uncle, can we be more serious? My little nephew still needs to be ashamed."
Li Ji laughed and patted Cheng Sanlang on the shoulder, indicating that he should follow him to the side, and then lowered his voice and asked.
"Ha, look at you kid, you are not happy to praise you, by the way. Now, the Japanese navy has been defeated at Baijiangkou, what should we do next?"
Cheng Chubi first glanced at the brothers who were beaming, chatting and laughing loudly, and then lowered his voice and whispered.
"My uncle must have seen the scale of the Japanese navy this time. It can be said that the Japanese army used all the strength of the country to attack our Tang Dynasty navy."
"Now that they have experienced this battle, more than half of them have been lost and their morale has been greatly reduced. At this time, it is time to take advantage of his illness and kill him."
Hearing this, Li Ji stroked his long beard and said hesitantly.
"...Since ancient times, the art of war has been taught, and you should never pursue a poor enemy."
"Look what you said, uncle, are the Japanese pirates poor? My nephew, why do I think they are so rich?"
Li Ji's eyes twitched and he yelled unhappily at this little bastard who liked to talk nonsense.
"You kid, you are poor here and not that poor. Don't pretend to be stupid in front of me."
"Hehe, my nephew is just joking with you, uncle. Don't chase after these words. If you were the former Tang Dynasty navy, your nephew must also be cautious."
"But the problem is that my nephew now commands not only the task force of our Tang Navy, but also the tens of thousands of Silla elites."
"Today, both Japan and Baekje have suffered great losses due to their strength, all thanks to our Tang Dynasty, while Silla is sitting back and enjoying its success, haha..."
Cheng Chubi is such a person, he is quite arrogant. The important thing is, who is Li Ji? He is also an old scheming man.
The two guys squatted together and analyzed it. Li Ji was really aroused by Cheng Sanlang's statement.
After all, is Silla a good bird? Of course not, it’s just because Silla was beaten bloody by Baekje and Japan, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, so it had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and cute to the Tang Dynasty.
When Silla gained power before, when it conquered Goguryeo in the north and conquered Baekje in the west, it was so awesome that Silla did not give any benefits to the Tang Dynasty.
Now, with the Tang Dynasty winning consecutively and Baekje and Japan suffering disastrous defeats, Silla has gained the initiative so easily, which is not entirely a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.
"That's all, I allow you to pursue the remnants of the Japanese country, but remember to stop it in moderation."
Hearing Li Jisong's words, Cheng Chubi raised his eyebrows with joy and patted his chest and agreed without hesitation.
"Uncle, please don't worry. My nephew, I am a person who breaks my promise and gets fat. I will definitely stop it. I will definitely not cause the Tang Dynasty Navy to suffer damage or become disgraced."
After hearing this, Li Ji nodded slightly with satisfaction and whispered a few words in Cheng Sanlang's ear.
Cheng Sanlang nodded frequently with an honest and respectful look, as if he was the most obedient and sensible junior.

"General Cheng San, we have already arrived at Baekje, why do we still need to leave to chase the defeated Japanese general?"
When Jin Yuxin heard the news that he would continue to pursue the remnants of Japan early the next morning, he directly led several Silla generals to Cheng Sanlang's flagship.
Cheng Sanlang, who had been prepared for the arrival of Jin Yuxin, the Silla general, laughed.
"General Jin, please don't forget that Cheng is the commander-in-chief of this large army. I naturally have my reasons for pursuing the defeated generals of the Japanese remnants."
"I, Shi, the Governor-General of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the Commander-in-Chief of Pyongyang Road March have issued military orders and ordered me to lead a team to pursue the Japanese navy."
"And Cheng is the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty's new coalition forces. You must also obey Cheng's military orders."
"...General Cheng San, I believe that the combat power of the navy under the general's command is more than enough to deal with the remnants of the Japanese navy."
"Now, since the General Manager is attacking Baekje, I have tens of thousands of Silla elites under my command, who can assist the General Manager in conquering Baekje."
"If it is at sea, there will be no place for us to use it, so I would like to ask General Cheng San to allow me to lead the army to stay."
Following Jin Yuxin's words, although a group of Silla generals did not speak in agreement, the way they looked at Cheng Sanlang eagerly proved that they had similar ideas.
"Where are the supervisors?" Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and shouted.
Lian Zong Su Pan, who had been silent all this time, stood near Cheng Sanlang and took a step forward. "I'm here."
"Tell him what your Royal Highness the Queen said." Cheng Chubi pointed at Jin Yuxin.
As Jin Bitan's confidant and ally, Lian Zongsu Pan raised the corners of his mouth playfully and spoke to Jin Yu, who had a gloomy face.
"General, Your Highness has an order. If the general does not obey the orders of General Cheng San, General Cheng San has the right to remove the general from the position of deputy commander and select another good general to serve as deputy commander."
