After the Shanyue crisis is temporarily resolved, there is no need to keep so many garrison troops in Jiangdong.
King Qin Liu Zhang personally ordered the withdrawal of the Eastern Army and the Imperial Guard.
Only the Jiaozhou coalition forces led by Xu Shu were left to garrison the cities and maintain the stability of the counties and counties east of the Yangtze River.
After Pang Tong, Xu Huang and others handed over the affairs in their hands, they returned along the original route.
The imperial guards withdrew from Yuzhang and Luling counties and gathered soldiers along the way.
Pang Tong returned to the river bank with the Eastern Army and Sun Quan and other Sun captives, preparing to cross the river and go directly to Lujiang River to join Liu Zhang.
When the Eastern Army boarded the warship and left the land of Jiangdong, everyone had their own complicated emotions.
There is excitement, melancholy, sadness, and confusion. . .
"call..."
On the deck of the warship, Pang Tong looked at the endless fleet on the river and couldn't help but make a sound of emotion.
This extremely weak movement instantly attracted the attention of Wei Yan.
"This time the military advisor equals Jiangdong and takes the greatest credit! Why does it seem like you have something on your mind now?"
Unlike Pang Tong, Wei Yan always had a smile on his face, completely showing the joy of a victor.
Pang Tong chuckled and shook his head.
"Chang Wen, I have nothing to worry about, I'm just feeling a little emotional."
"Before returning from Yu, I thought Liu Bei was a tough nut to crack. Even if I could crack him, it wouldn't be easy."
"In the end, King Qin completely defeated Liu Bei in just one battle, and almost captured Liu Bei!"
Wei Yan nodded, deeply convinced.
After all, he followed Pang Tong in a sneak attack on Jingzhou, and even watched helplessly as Pang Tong was almost shot to death!
Thinking back on all this, it feels like a dream.
"What the military advisor said is absolutely true. The King of Qin is so wise and powerful, and so far-reaching in his wisdom that no one in the ancient and modern times can match him!"
Pang Tong ignored Wei Yan's praise of Liu Zhang and continued to sigh to himself.
"After taking Jingzhou, we started the road to the east. Facing the Sun family who has stood in Jiangdong for three generations, I thought it would be an extremely difficult battle!"
"Unexpectedly, the Jiangdong navy, which is famous for its water warfare, was vulnerable. Zhou Yu, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan made stupid decisions one after another! Our army is unstoppable, and we have established the victory to dominate the southeast in one fell swoop!"
"Although it is said that man can defeat God, looking at ancient times and modern times, it is true that manpower cannot shake God's will! Does the author know the key to our army's unstoppable force?"
Wei Yan shook his head, his eyes full of confusion.
"If you are a stupid general, please ask your military advisor for guidance."
Just as Pang Tong was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he heard a voice coming from behind.
"What else could it be? Of course it is your King Qin who is wise and mighty. He is destined by fate!"
"Um?"
Pang Tong and Wei Yan turned around and looked back.
"It turns out to be Mr. Wu."
"As expected of the Lord of Jiangdong and the King of Wu, his vision is truly unique!"
Sun Quan walked up to the two of them. He was originally depressed, but after hearing these words, he became even more depressed.
"Commander Pang, can you stop making fun of me?"
During the period when the Qin army was fighting Shanyue, Sun Quan had been trying hard to accept the reality he had to face.
I originally thought I would be relieved, but after I got on the boat, walked out of Jiangdong, and stepped onto the water of the Yangtze River, I was still filled with sadness.
Not to mention the distance, the last time he personally led an army of 100,000 to compete with Liu Zhang.
No matter what the result is, at least the prestige and confidence are still there!
But now, although he is still a male, it is hard to say what kind of male he is.
Of course, this is not what Sun Quan cares about.
Originally, he had countless elite soldiers and generals, as well as countless civil servants and counselors.
But now, it's empty.
His close friend died in front of him, and his former confidants rebelled one after another.
This feeling of loneliness being abandoned by everyone was already unbearable for him.
Arriving on the Yangtze River, the rocking of the ship quickly intensified this feeling.
Sun Quan couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to come out for some air.
I happened to hear the conversation between Pang Tong and Wei Yan.
"Mr. Wu misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean this!"
Pang Tong cupped his hands as a salute and an apology.
"Wu Gong was ordered to face a crisis, and relied on his excellent ability to turn things around, achieve great success, and obtain the title of Duke!"
"That alone is enough to gain the respect of everyone in the world!"
From the son of a melon seller to the king of a principality, the gap is not far from that of a beggar and an emperor.
In Pang Tong's eyes, Sun Quan was indeed a figure.
"Commander Pang, please don't say that, I don't dare to take it seriously!"
"Compared with King Qin, Gu Zhen is... well, it's hard to describe in words!"
"look at you!"
Wei Yan glanced at Sun Quan angrily.
"You always think about competing with King Qin, but you don't even see what kind of person King Qin is!"
"Looking at ancient and modern times, who can compare with King Qin? Even Gaozu and Guangwu are not as good as him!"
"you..."
Sun Quan wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything strong to say.
Furthermore, although he is called a lonely man, this word does not have any dignity.
Wei Yan is a general in the army. If he really initiates a conflict, he will probably be unlucky.
After thinking about it, I could only endure it.
However, Sun Quan couldn't help but lament over and over again because he had to endure even the words of a general.
The days to come will probably be very bitter!
"Chang Wen, why are you talking to Mr. Wu?"
Pang Tong was very righteous and scolded Wei Yan with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Military advisor, the last general..."
"Stop talking nonsense and make amends with Duke Wu!"
Wei Yan was dissatisfied, but Pang Tong's eyes left no room for doubt.
I had no choice but to bow my head and admit my mistake.
"I am speechless. Please forgive me, Mr. Wu."
Sun Quan glanced at Pang Tongyi gratefully, and for the first time his heart, which was riddled with holes, felt soothed.
"General Wei's words are serious, Gu...it's okay!"
"Back off!"
Pang Tong waved his hand, first drove Wei Yan away, and then approached Sun Quan.
"Mr. Wu, actually some of the words in the article sound a bit harsh, but if you think about it carefully, they still make some sense."
"What kind of person is the King of Qin? It is incomparable to the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu! Duke Wu's abilities and achievements are indeed dazzling, but compared with the King of Qin, they are far behind!"
"In the future, when Duke Wu is under the command of King Qin, he will inevitably rely on Miss Sun, so it is better to pay more attention to her."
"Of course, what Tong said was entirely for the sake of Duke Wu, and he was completely considering it from Duke Wu's perspective. If Duke Wu doesn't want to, it can be treated as if Tong didn't say anything."
Sun Quan lowered his head, not knowing what words to use to express the bitterness in his heart.
He agreed, but it was really difficult to accept it.
Even in the mouth, there is a painful bitter taste!
The dignified Duke of Wu had to rely on his sister to be favored by Liu Zhang!
If it were not for Sun Xiaomei, wouldn't there be no chance of being a loner?
Sun Quan closed his eyes and forced himself not to think too much.
The more I think about it, the more I suffer.
After a long time, he nodded reluctantly.
"Thank you so much, Military Advisor Pang, for your kindness, I... you must remember it!"
