Chapter 52 Liu Biao lost his life in Jingzhou Cao Liusun fought against Chibi (29
Jiang Gan never thought that he would meet Pang Tong between these barren mountains. This is really like the wormwood hidden lucidum grass and the mud sinking into the purple gold basin, which made Jiang Gan overjoyed.
Jiang Gan said to Pang Tong, "I've heard your name for a long time. I don't know why I live here?"
Pang Tong sighed: "I wanted to imitate Wolong and cast a Ming Lord, but his appearance is ugly. Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Nanye in Jiaozhou are not important. Jiangdong wants to join General Sun, but he doesn't want Zhou Yu to slander me because he can't tolerate things. I lived in seclusion here in frustration.
Jiang Gan was happy to hear the words: "Why don't you worry about the Lord with your great talent? Minister Cao Lixian, if you are willing to return to Cao, I will introduce you to him.
Pang Tong said, "I want to leave Jiangdong for a long time. It would be better if Ziyi was willing to introduce him, but he should do it quickly. If Zhou Yu hears it, he will come to harm it.
Jiang Gan said, "It's a pity that I don't know the way down the mountain."
Pang Tong said, "Although I know the path, it's a pity that there is no boat to cross the river."
Jiang Ganxi said, "When I came, the boat was by the river, and the people were also on the boat."
Pang Tong was also very happy to hear the words, and the two of them fit together. After simply packing up, Pang Tong and Jiang Gan went down the mountain overnight. When the ship arrived, he quickly went to the north of the river.
The two came to Cao Yingshui Village, and Jiang Gan first met Cao Cao to tell him what had happened. Cao Cao wondered why Jiang Gan couldn't do his business well, and he could always meet his own business. However, Cao Cao did not doubt the arrival of Pang Tong. If Zhou Yu still treated Jiang Gan warmly this time, Cao Cao would inevitably worry that Zhou Yu would be uneasy and kind, but Zhou Yu put Jiang Gan under house arrest as soon as they met, which made Cao Cao less doubt.
After Cao Cao fought with Zhuge Liang, he naturally heard about the names of Wolong and Fengqian, and heard Jiang Gan say that Pang Tong's appearance was repeatedly underestimated. Cao Cao personally greeted him and showed great courtesy.
Pang Tong was very happy to see Cao's polite attitude. After the two guests sat down, Cao Cao asked, "Zhou Yu is young and self-manned and talented, he doesn't need his good plan. I have heard Mr.'s name for a long time, and now I am lucky to see him. I hope he will not hesitate to teach him.
Cao lowered his price and raised Pang Tong. Pang Tong also flattered Cao Cao: "I heard that the prime minister has a method of using military, and he dares not speak falsely in front of the prime minister. Now I would like to see the military appearance and make suggestions to add flowers to the prime minister.
Cao Cao was very happy to see that Pang Tong did not have the arrogant spirit of ordinary celebrities. Although Pang Tong was a little ugly, he was much cuter than the people of You Heng and Xu You in Cao's eyes. So Cao ordered people to prepare horses and invited Pang Tong to watch the dry village first.
After Pang Tong and Cao Cao looked up and Ma Deng, Pang Tong praised: "This village is surrounded by mountains and forests, looking back and forth. There are doors in and out, and there are twists and turns. It is the rebirth of grandson and Wu Qi's comeback, which is nothing more than that."
Cao Cao was happy to hear this: "Sir, I hope you can give me some advice."
Pang Tong said, "The Prime Minister's dry village is perfect and blameless. Please watch the water village together."
Cao Cao heard the words and led Pang Tong to see the water village. He saw 24 gates opened to the south of the water village, all of which were listed as cities by the warships, and there were small boats coming and going like alleys in an orderly manner.
Pang Tong looked at Jiangnan and smiled, "The Prime Minister used soldiers like this, which is well-known! Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, the period will die!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked Pang Tong to return the account, set up wine and treat, and discuss military tactics. Pang Tong talked loudly and answered fluently. Cao Cao was very respectful and attentive, and humbly asked Pang Tong what were the shortcomings of the two villages.
Pang Tong pretended to be drunk and said, "The layout of the two villages is clear, and there is no difference. I just don't know if there is a good doctor in the Prime Minister's army?"
Cao Caoqi said, "What does the setting of the camp have to do with a good doctor?"
Pang Tong said, "The water army has many diseases and must be treated with good medicine."
Cao Bing was mostly born in the north. Many people vomit and diarrhea due to wind and waves because they were not satisfied with water and soil, and some died of illness. Cao Cao was worried about this matter and said when he heard Pang Tong's words, "Although there are doctors in the army, there are more patients, and most of them are too late to cure the dead. Sir, do you have a good way to deal with it?"
Pang Tong said: "Although the prime minister's method of practicing the navy is wonderful, it is a pity that there is less flux. Jingxiangnan people can use it, and it is inevitable that the Northern Army will get sick.
Cao Caoqi said, "Why is this? Please give me some advice."
Pang Tong said, "There is a way to adapt to local conditions. Southerners are good at water and are not afraid of wind and waves. They can use this method to practice. Northerners are good at riding, but they are not used to water warfare. Isn't it wrong to use the same method?
Cao Cao's water village was copied from Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and there was no improvement at all. Hearing Pang Tong's words, he suddenly felt that it made sense, so he repeatedly asked Pang Tong for advice.
Pang Tong said, "I have a plan to make the water army in the village safe and successful. The tides and waves in the river are endless, and the Northern Army is not used to riding a boat and getting sick. If large boats and small boats are matched with each other, or 30 as a row, or 50 as a row, a wide plate is paved with an iron ring chain at the beginning and end, which can not only cross people, but also walk. What are you afraid of riding this huge ship and allowing him to rise and fall?
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words and left the table to thank him: "Sir, your good plan is enough to break Jiangdong!"
Pang Tong laughed and said, "I hope the Prime Minister will consider his humble opinion."
Cao Cao didn't have to think much about it. He immediately called the blacksmith in the army to build a chain of iron locks and close the ship overnight. The reason why Cao Cao trusted Pang Tong is that Pang Tong's plan indeed has cross-generational insight, and this chain warship is similar to that of later aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers do have the disadvantages of large targets, but no one can deny the advantages of their strong offensive and defensive capabilities. Cao Bing and General Cao have suffered from the wind and waves recently, and they are also very happy to hear this plan.
Pang Tong saw that the plan had been completed. When he was successful and retreated, he said to Cao Cao, "I look at the heroes of Jiangdong, and there are many people who resent Zhou Yu. I would like to speak for the Prime Minister with a three-inch tongue and make everyone surrender. Zhou Yu is isolated and helpless and must be captured by the Prime Minister. As soon as Zhou Yu broke, Liu Bei was useless.
Cao first got the letter from Huang Gai, and Cai Zhong, Cai and Zhou Tai were willing to serve as internal response, which was in line with Pang Tong's words. Therefore, he had no doubt Pang Tong's words and said with great joy: "If you can achieve this great success, you must listen to the emperor and seal Mr. as one of the three princes."
Pang Tong showed his noble demeanor at this time and said, "Someone is not rich, but only wants to save all people. After the Prime Minister crosses the river, don't kill innocent people.
Cao Cao said, "I walk for heaven. How can I bear to kill the people?"
Pang Tong heard the words and asked Cao Cao to write a handwritten list. On the surface, it was for the safety of the clan, but in fact, it was to app ease Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao handed it to Pang Tong after writing the list to ensure that Cao Bing would not be harassed when he saw the list. Pang Tong thanked him and said, "The Prime Minister can enter the army quickly. Don't wait for Zhou Lang to feel it."
Cao Cao thanked Pang Tong and sent him to the riverside. Pang Tong disembarked the ship and returned to the east of the river to find Nanye to recover his life. Cao Cao was busy locking the warship and put the big and small boats together. The boat was laid with thick boards, and it was completely safe for people to walk. Cao Cao was happy to see that Pang Tong's plan was really effective. Cao Bing was also happy to avoid the pain of wind and waves. However, in this way, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to train a real navy. Cao Bing can ensure that his combat effectiveness will not be affected on the chain ship. Once he gets on a small boat or falls into the water, his combat strength will not exist.
