The Tao merchant sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked ecstatic. He was very surprised and praised Pang Tong for coming and going.

"Mr. Shi Yuan came from the south and should be familiar with the reality of the Wu and Chu coalition. If you come back this time, you must have prepared a big gift for me." Tao Shang smiled, feeling a little excited.

Pang Tong smiled, but said, "Although the king defeated Zhou Yu in the previous game, the navy of the Wu and Chu coalition forces was not injured. The king confronted each other across the river and did not move his troops. I am afraid that the king will soon fall into danger."

Pang Tong's words were somewhat alarmist. The Tao merchant pretended to be shocked and hurriedly said, "What kind of danger will I fall into?"

Pang Tong said slowly: "When the king implemented Shang Yang's reforms in China, the aristocratic races must be resentful. The king of Yan Liu Bei in the north was about to destroy Gongsun Du. Jie Shi would join forces with the Xianbei and other Hu tribes and march south to launch a large-scale move. At that time, the king was trapped in the mud of Jiangnan and could not withdraw. Isn't this dangerous enough?"

Pang Tong's words also pointed out the disadvantages faced by the pottery merchants.

Tao Shang frowned and smiled helplessly: "What the sir said, I don't know, but the Wu and Chu army are still holding their troops and shrinking and fighting. My navy is limited, and I don't have much chance of winning if I want to attack the enemy camp. Why don't I want to drag it down?"

Pang Tong smiled slightly, stroked his short beard lightly, and some mystery flashed through his eyebrows.

Tao Shang knew the meaning of Pang Tong's smile, so he followed the trend and said, "Since Mr. Shiyuan can point out the dilemma of this king, I think he has a solution in his mind, please make clear."

"Tong has a trick here, which may help the king solve the weakness of the navy's weak army." As he said that, Pang Tong stood up and stretched out his hand to Jing Ke, "This general, can you borrow your sword from Pang?"

Although Pang Tong had come to surrender to the pottery merchant, he was still a newly surrendered person and had not gained trust. At this time, Pang Tong asked his personal guard for a sword in front of the pottery merchant. How could this not be suspicious?

Even though the pottery merchant of Pang Tong was doubtful about Pang Tong's actions, he would not be afraid of him with his martial power value of almost 90 now.

Then he smiled and gestured to Jing Ke, asking him to lend the sword to Pang Tong.

Jing Ke had no choice but to hand over the sword to Pang Tong, but his eyes were always staring at him in case he had any abnormal movements, which would be detrimental to the Tao Merchant.

But Pang Tong held the sword in his hand, gently put it down, and placed it between the pottery merchant and his desk, forming a bridge shape.

"Sir, this is..." Tao Shang had seen his intention, but pretended to be puzzled.

Pang Tong smiled, "I heard that the king is unparalleled in wisdom for a long time. With the king's knowledge, can't I still see Tong's meaning?"

The Taoist merchant frowned and thought carefully, pretending to be deep for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter in ecstasy, shouting excitedly: "What a wonderful thing, sir, this plan is really a wonderful plan!"

"The king is indeed very intelligent and conceived by Tong." When Pang Tong saw the pottery merchant sees the trick, he bowed and praised.

Tao Shang saw it, but Zhang Liang, Jing Ke and others looked confused and had not seen the clue yet.

At this time, Pang Tong smiled and said, "The weakness of the king is that the number of naval troops is not as large as that of the enemy. Although the infantry is strong, they are not familiar with water. If you force yourself to board the boat, once you encounter wind and waves, you will not even stand firmly and you will not be able to fight against the enemy at all. No matter how many people there are, it will be useless."

Then, Pang Tong gestured to the sword that was struck by hand, "But if the king connected the warships, three or five, into a whole with iron locks, and covered them with wooden boards, the iron locks would be free to fight the wind and waves. Even the northern barracks who were not familiar with water could walk freely on them, and even war horses could gallop on them. At that time, the king solved the weakness of insufficient water guards in one fell swoop, and was he still afraid that he would not be able to break the enemy camp on the south bank."

Pang Tong said something casually and pointed out his plan.

Of course, Tao Shang knew that this strategy was the series of plans he offered to Cao Cao during the Battle of Red Cliff in history.

This series of plans just tricked Cao Cao, causing Gan Ning to set fire to the fire, and the Cao army's warships were burned out of time.

Although history has changed, the Battle of Red Cliff has not changed. Pang Tong cannot cheat Cao Cao, so he has changed to cheat himself.

The civil and military officials naturally realized it suddenly.

Zhang Liang stood up and opposed it immediately: "Mr. Pang's plan is indeed a way for me to board the ship to fight, as if I were walking on the flat ground. However, if the enemy used a fire attack plan, our warships would be locked in iron chains and not have time to disperse. Only one ship would be ignited. Wouldn't all the navy troops be burned to ashes?"

Zhang Liang is worthy of being Zhang Liang. Although he couldn't see it at first sight before, once he knew Pang Tong's intention, he immediately saw the flaws.

Pang Tong glanced at Zhang Liang, and a strange look flashed through his eyes, as if he was surprised that Zhang Liang could actually see the flaws of his strategy.

Soon, he smiled disapprovingly, "I heard that Zhang Zifang was unparalleled in his wisdom for a long time, but unfortunately he lacked this astronomy. You should know that since ancient times, the fire attack must be used to take advantage of the wind. In this place in the middle of winter in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the enemy wants to carry out fire attacks, where can we go to find the southeast wind? Could it be that they want to burn themselves against themselves?"

Zhang Liang was stunned and wanted to say something again, but Tao Shang waved his hand and said happily: "Shi Yuan's words are reasonable, so there is no need to hesitate anymore. I have decided to follow Shi Yuan's plan!"

The pottery did not give Zhang Liang the opportunity to question it anymore, so he took the lead and adopted Pang Tong's plan.

Zhang Liang's brows froze. When he wanted to persuade him again, Tao Shang nodded slightly to him and made a hint.

What kind of wisdom is Zhang Liang? He is a little higher than Pang Tong. When Tao Shang's eyes signaled, he immediately realized that Tao Shang had already known his concerns, but was deliberately adopting all the plans.

As soon as he changed his mind, he recalled all kinds of suspicious points. Zhang Liang raised a strange smile on his lips, and then he stopped talking.

However, Pang Tong did not realize that the communication between his ministers was still praising Tao Shang's wise mind.

"Shi Yuan, if I can defeat the Wu and Chu coalition forces this time and take Jingzhou all, you will be the first contribution, and I will definitely have a great reward." Tao Shang patted Pang Tong's shoulder and made a great promise.

Pang Tong hurriedly bowed his hands and said seriously: "The king is the lord of the destiny of heaven. Tong serves the king, but he just follows the destiny of heaven. He will never dare to take credit."

The Tao Shang was so excited that he couldn't help laughing wildly, "Liu Biao, Sun Ce, do you think you are hiding on the other side, so why can't I do it for you? You can wait. I have only 10% of the iron chains, and it's time for me to break through the Red Cliff and destroy you all."

Looking at the proud Taoist merchant, Pang Tong's mouth quietly raised an unaware sneer.

At this moment, the pottery merchant adopted Pang Tong's proposal, told Lu Ban, mobilized a large number of craftsmen, and implemented the strategy of iron chaining boats.

Lu Ban mobilized thousands of soldiers to cut down trees, burned fire to cast iron, and mobilized hundreds of craftsmen to build iron chains overnight.

Within seven days, hundreds of Great Wei warships were chained by iron chains and formed an unprecedented giant ship, with wooden boards on them. The infantry and soldiers could walk on them at will, fearing bumps, and even the war horses could gallop on them.

After the Lianzhou warship was successfully built, the pottery merchant mobilized more than tens of thousands of infantry on board. After a little training, he drove out of the water camp and made a parade of power on the Yangtze River.

On the southern bank of the Red Cliff, in the coalition camp, the Wu and Chu soldiers were shocked to see such giant ships as the Wei army, and they were all angrily and gasping for a cold air.

"I didn't expect that the pottery thief could come up with this iron chain to connect the boat. At present, his warships, even those soldiers who are not familiar with water can walk freely on it. The advantage of our navy is gone." Taishici exclaimed.

All the generals of Wu and Chu did not know the truth and reality. Seeing such a formation by the Wei army, they were shocked.

Only Sun Ce and Liu Biao and other insiders knew the truth. Looking at the giant ships of Wei army on the river, the few looked at each other and showed sarcastic sneering.

...

Above the river.

On the giant ship of the iron chain, Tao Shang stood up and looked down at the Wu and Chu coalition camp on the south bank, with a sarcastic sneer in the eyes of the eagle.

On each of the ships, the soldiers of the Great Wei were all energetic and motivated. After overcoming the bumps on the river, they were now in a strong sense of fighting and wished they could kill the other side in one go.

Houyi beside him shouted excitedly: "King, our soldiers are now walking on flat ground, what are you waiting for? Why not attack the south bank in one go and destroy the thieves of Wu and Chu."

When Houyi called war, the other generals were all generous in fighting. It seemed that because of this iron chain and boat plan, their group of dry ducks were very confident and did not take the Wu and Chu coalition seriously.

The generals were crazy, but the pottery was very calm and had no brains.

Although the giant ship of Lianzhou can allow his infantry to fight on board and overcome the weakness of being unfamiliar with water and turbulent winds and waves, you must know that the enemy camp of the Wu and Chu coalition forces on the opposite side is solid, and the soldiers of the two armies are all proficient in water battles. This iron chain boat alone is not enough to attack the enemy camp.

Moreover, how could the Tao merchant forget that he adopted Pang Tong's proposal and just pretended to be trapped. Now that the Jiangnan was showing off his power, he also showed it to Sun Ce and the others, making them mistakenly think that he had fallen into the trap set by them.

The Tao Shang smiled faintly and suppressed the generals' call. However, his eyes turned to Pang Tong and said in an admiration: "Mr. Feng Chu, this method of iron chaining boats is really a stroke of magic. At present, my King's Beidi Bun Army can surround the Yangtze River and conquer the Red Cliff in the next day and wipe out the thieves of Wu and Chu. It is a sure victory."

"The king's heroic and heroic power can destroy Jiangnan and unify the world, which is the destiny of heaven." Pang Tong hurriedly gave a compliment, but a hint of coldness quietly flew across the corner of his mouth.

The pottery seemed to be looking at the enemy shore, but he kept paying attention to Pang Tong's expression. How could his fleeting changes escape the pottery's eyes?

He was sneering, and Tao Shang was sneering quietly.

"Sun Ce, Liu Biao, I have already completed a chain of iron chains. Do you still dare to underestimate me if I am not accustomed to water wars? In a few days, it will be the time when I will take your life, haha--"

The Tao merchant laughed wildly and was extremely confident, so he ordered the entire army to withdraw back to the north shore.

So, a series of giant ships of ships shone on the river for a long time, crossed the enemy camp in Chibi, and left under their noses, and then headed to the north shore. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
