How to get to Yangzhou city from Shanghai Pudong the easiest way....

Hi, I will be arriving in Shanghai by plane on the 7th of Nov, at around 5 pm, Im trying to get to Yangzhou for some meetings, Im not in a major hurry but would like to arrive in the easiest/cheapest way possible. After having done some research on the internet I can only find one train going to Yangzhou, and it leaves just before 11 am in the morning which means im stucked for the night in Shanghai, since I will arrive with a lot of samples/luggage, I would prefer not to drag them with me all over Shanghai, is there any way i can get to Yangzhou quicker?
