After taking a sip, Pang Tong showed an intoxicated expression and was reluctant to drink more. He covered it and hung it firmly around his waist, for fear of dropping it on the ground.
"Lord, since I drank your wine, I should do something for you. To be honest, Zhou Yu has mobilized more than 50,000 Jiangdong naval forces and plans to intercept you at the Jiangling tributary. The leader is the Jiangdong warrior, Su
Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba is known as the Jin Sail Thief."
After Pang Tong finished speaking, the expression on Huang Zhongdianwei's face instantly became solemn. With more than 50,000 navy troops, this is no joke.
No matter how brave they are, they are only good at land battles. When it comes to water battles, they are amateurs.
Besides, how could they possibly deal with more than 50,000 sailors with just this few people?
Jiang Siming looked at Pang Tong and said, "Now that all of us here are under your control, it all depends on your ability?"
Pang Tong was stunned and asked: "Aren't you worried that I am a spy sent by Sun Quan?"
Jiang Siming smiled and said: "I have always used people without trusting others and used others without trust. Since I trust you, I will not have any doubts about you. Not only that, in the future, I will give you enough space to display your talents."
Talent.”
Pang Tong was silent. After a few seconds, Pang Tong no longer looked at Jiang Siming casually. Instead, he knelt down in front of Jiang Siming seriously and kowtowed heavily.
"Pang Tong is willing to follow his lord to the death in this life. Pang Tong will be prosperous and will finally meet his master in his lifetime!"
Jiang Siming smiled lightly and helped him up, saying: "This is very good. Gu's great cause cannot be without talents like you."
Pang Tong gave a rare shameful smile and said with emotion: "I really don't understand, my lord thinks so highly of Wolong, why did Wolong join someone else?"
Everyone knows that Zhuge Liang rebelled against Jiang Siming. Jiang Siming was so kind to the Zhuge family, but Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei.
Even he found it incredible, because in Pang Tong's eyes, Jiang Siming was the absolute overlord who could unify the world and create a new dynasty.
It's impossible for Zhuge Liang not to see it, but why would he seek refuge with Liu Bei?
Jiang Siming did not say the reason, but said that everyone has his own ambitions.
After hearing this, Pang Tong shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Kong Ming was so smart and confused for a while. This decision is destined to fail miserably."
After sighing with emotion, Pang Tong really began to enter the role of military advisor.
He first asked all the soldiers to shout beside the fishing boats docked along the river bank, saying that as long as everyone followed their boats to Jiangling, they would receive ten taels of silver.
In order to make the fishing boats believe this, Pang Tong asked the soldiers to throw them two taels of silver.
After these fishing boats found out that they were real, they naturally followed Jiang Siming's merchant ships.
In this way, more than a hundred fishing boats and even a dozen merchant ships followed Jiang Siming's two ships.
Money can make the world go round. Driven by money, more than a hundred boats sailed smoothly on the Yangtze River. As far as the eye could see, it looked like a dragon boat race was being held.
When they were approaching Jiangling, Pang Tong ordered them to overtake his ship, run ahead to lead the way, and throw the remaining eight taels of silver to all the ships in turn.
These people were overjoyed after getting the money, worked even harder, and all ran to the front.
Just like that, after arriving at Gangneung, the river in front of us was already crowded with fishing boats.
Gan Ning, who was watching nervously, looked towards the river from the boat. Everyone was dumbfounded. Why were there so many? Didn't they say there were only two boats?
"Helmsman! Let the two nearest big ships take the helm and run to the right branch! Give them fifty taels!" Pang Tong immediately shouted.
Huang Zhong and the others immediately complied and gave the money. The two larger merchant ships immediately turned around and headed to the right at a very fast speed.
Gan Ning was still searching among the long list of fishing boats, but he suddenly saw two merchant ships that suddenly turned right and moved quickly.
"It's them! It must be! Quick, move forward at full speed, go to the right! Stop them!"
Gan Ning immediately commanded, and at the same time pulled up the anchor and set sail, chasing to the right.
At the same time, we must let go of the mainstream. After all, so many fishing boats are rushing towards us. Although they are warships, if they collide, their warships will also be damaged.
The mainstream warships dispersed, hundreds of fishing boats passed unimpeded, and Jiang Siming's two merchant ships also passed smoothly.
This trick of fishing in troubled waters was used by Pang Tong very skillfully and successfully.
Huang Zhong and the others thought it was over and were planning to laugh and celebrate.
Pang Tong continued to order: "Turn left immediately at the fork in front!"
"Why do you still need to turn left?" Huang Zhong was puzzled.
Pang Tong said: "Gan Ning will soon find out that he has fallen into a trap when he chases those two ships. They will definitely catch up. Their ships are much faster than ours. We have to change the route quickly."
After Pang Tong finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Siming and asked: "My lord, Military Advisor Guo and the others must be at the next river mouth to take over, right?"
Jiang Siming nodded and said, "In Jiangxia."
"We are going to Jiangxia immediately. When we arrive, the lord must immediately order the ship to stop, everyone to change the ship, and let the two ships run in the other direction. In this way, Gan Ning and Zhou Yu will definitely not be able to guess our true location."
Pang Tong said firmly that of course Jiang Siming had nothing to say, so people should do as he said.
In this way, as soon as they arrived at Jiangxia Ferry, Jiang Siming and all the soldiers immediately disembarked and at the same time moved all the food to the receiving ship.
After the move was completed, the two ships were sent to other places.
Jiang Siming and the others were hiding on the boat at the ferry and staying put.
Not long after, more than a dozen warships chased from behind, and the leader was Zhou Yu.
Pang Tong pretended to be a fisherman and worked on the boat.
When Zhou Yu saw him, he immediately asked: "Boatman, let me ask you, have you seen the whereabouts of the two merchant ships?"
Pang Yi thought for a moment sincerely and said: "Sir, yes, two passenger ships came over just now and stopped at my dock. Many people got off one ship and ran to the other.
Then the two ships sailed away separately, one to the east and the other to the west, which was strange."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately showed a sarcastic smile and said: "You want to confuse me? Haha, Jiang Bei, you are really good at calculating."
After saying that, Zhou Yu threw a piece of silver to Pang Tong and said: "I'll reward you, let's go!"
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Pang Tong was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
The acting was excellent, and Zhou Yu didn't see any flaws.
He took the people and chased after him.
As soon as Zhou Yu left, Pang Tong called out everyone hiding in the cabin and ordered the helmsman to sail the ship.
In this way, Jiang Siming and the others successfully left the Jiangdong boundary and headed west to the nearest Xuzhou.
When they rushed out of Jiangdong territory, Huang Zhong and the others laughed heartily. It was so interesting for them to tease and applaud Zhou Yu and Gan Ning.
When they were approaching the boundary of Xuzhou, Zhou Yu actually chased them in a boat, but they were still far behind. Jiang Siming and the others had already reached the boundary of the Xuzhou river.
A large number of Xuzhou warships rushed out to surround Jiang Siming and protect him from harm.
Zhou Yu watched Jiang Siming swaggeringly fleeing into Xuzhou, and was so angry that he was so angry. (To be continued)
