Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 388: Zhuge Liang was stunned

Lu Xun led tens of thousands of naval troops and set off after the stone-throwing stopped. Except for the two tower ships to prevent the other party from making a sneak attack, the others were mostly red horse ships. The main one was fast enough. After all, under such a river fog, it could be Depending on the conditions, if you want to explore every water area without letting any fish slip through the net, your speed must be guaranteed.

They had been out for more than two hours and still hadn't come back. They probably went downstream to salvage something. Lin Mo, wearing a big cloak, stood by the river.

Jiang Feng was very strong, but he didn't want to go back. He hoped to wait for good news from Lu Xun.

History has changed, God knows who will be on that ship, but aside from other things, Zhuge Liang is always there. Judging from the current situation of the coalition forces, taking Zhuge Liang is not an exaggeration to the point of victory without a fight, but it will eventually happen. Letting a man with variables disappear can also give Lin Mo a little more confidence.

Before Lu Xun came, Xu Sheng came back first.

Thirty fast boats were filled with arrows like hedgehogs. Just when everyone was at a loss, Xu Sheng jumped off the fast boats and strode over to salute: "Sikong, the general will fulfill his mission and leave Baqiu." We borrowed arrows from the ferry, and each ship got four to five thousand arrows. There should be hundreds of thousands of arrows for the thirty fast boats, and we also brought the words."

"Well, it was done well." Lin Mo patted him on the shoulder.

Before Lu Bu could ask, Pang Tong's expression suddenly changed and he blurted out: "So, the enemy's real purpose here is to borrow arrows?"

Everyone looked at Lin Mo in unison. Although they already had the answer in their hearts, they still couldn't help but want to get confirmation from him.

At first, everyone was just curious about why Lin Mo could predict that the Cao, Sun, and Liu coalition would come to challenge them. Moreover, they were coming on a foggy day. They were also worried that those throwers would not be able to successfully defeat the opponent due to accuracy issues.

Now, seeing Xu Sheng coming back with 30 fast boats full of arrows, these top strategists in the world naturally realized that the purpose of the other side was to use the foggy weather to find arrows.

After all, although they are a tripartite coalition, they are probably poorer than the other. If they really borrow these hundreds of thousands of arrows, it will relieve the pressure on their ordnance, and it will also be a blow to the morale of the military. .

However, what they asked for was flying rocks all over the sky.

Everyone who reacted realized that in that situation, it seemed that the only way to deal with the situation was to use a thrower. After a few rounds of flying rocks, it was wonderful to send an army to chase them.

"etc."

Jia Xu, who rarely speaks on his own initiative, frowned and asked attentively: "But, Yunwen, you requested to install a thrower on the walking path of Shuizhai more than ten days ago. Could it be that at that time you were sure of the action on the other side?"

In fact, Jia Xu knew more about this matter than they did, because he was the one who told Lin Mo that there would be heavy fog today eight days ago.

So no matter how bizarre today's incident is, it can only be understood from a mental and strategic perspective. After all, it is a fact that the coalition forces are poor. It is reasonable to know that the fog predicts that the other party may come to borrow arrows.

The problem is, when he installed the thrower, it was ten days earlier than he calculated that it would be a foggy day. Isn't this unreasonable?

"It's just a random calculation, I didn't expect it to be accurate." Lin Mo chuckled.

Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others on the side looked at Lin Mo quietly, casual calculations can disintegrate such an exquisite layout, so you have to carefully calculate whether the other party can pack up and leave?

Zhang Liao, who came down from the horse walking path in Shuizhai, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on! Why did you do the calculation so casually? If you miss a word today, I'll knock your front teeth!"

Lin Mo's tiger body trembled, while his old father-in-law held his forehead with helplessness. After all, you are also the General Wei of the dynasty. You are just as virtuous as before. After the old father-in-law pushed away the greedy Liao Shen Looking at Xu Sheng, "Wen Xiang, tell me how you did it."

Xu Sheng began his explanation. In fact, it was basically similar to the actions of the coalition forces on the opposite side. The only difference was that what Xu Sheng was waiting for were real arrows, while what was waiting for the opposite side were flying rocks.

But even so, it was enough to make Zhang Liao tremble with envy, and he murmured from time to time: "It can be like this, it can be like this, why, why don't you let me go!"

Zhang Liao imagined himself dressed in white, standing on the deck with a sword at his waist and giving orders. When the warships were full of arrows, he brushed off his clothes and said, "Wolong's clever plan will bring peace to the world. He will lose the warships and send arrows again." It's called a real man, that's called a real man!

Lin Yunwen, my uncle is wild in your heart!

"Sikong, you asked General Xu to shout like this. Does that mean you know that this plan was designed by Kong Ming?" .

From the throwing device at the beginning, to seeing through the opponent's straw boat and borrowing arrows, to finally pinpointing who made the plan, you are not just calculating casually, you have clearly opened your eyes.

Perhaps this matter cannot be understood with common sense, but Pang Tong seemed a little unconcerned about it. He just smiled and said: "Sikong, you are trying to kill people. I didn't expect that you could play with the majestic Crouching Dragon Zhuge Liang." For this reason, I really don’t know how he would feel.”

Although he was feeling emotional, Pang Tong was not actually worried about Zhuge Liang because of his past feelings. Instead, he felt relaxed and happy.

I, Feng Chu, was entertained by Lin Mo like a child during the battle in Guandong. I didn't expect that you, Wolong, would be even more embarrassed when you appeared. He used the same strategy as you. Even if he could succeed, he still shouted such words.

Human nature is like this. It is a pity to fail, but the success of a friend is even more heart-wrenching. Now that his friend has also failed miserably, Pang Tong feels inexplicably satisfied.

Liang, you are afraid that you will be nailed to the pillar of shame and let future generations admire your failure.

Having read military literature since childhood, they are not afraid of failure. What is terrible is being humiliated to this extent.

Tragic, so tragic. Pang Tong only felt lucky. If he had chosen Cao Cao and wanted to be Lin Mo's enemy, otherwise, I'm afraid his result would not be any better than Zhuge Liang.

"It's not about killing people and killing people's hearts. After all, this is a battlefield, so I have no choice but to do it."

In fact, Lin Mo was telling the truth. He still admired Zhuge Liang, but this situation had no choice but to happen.

The success of this matter completely relied on the prophetic skills, so their questions were destined to have no answers. In order to avoid entanglement, Lin Mo quickly changed the subject and said: "Quick, move the arrow!"

After giving the order, the soldiers began to take action and pulled out the arrows one by one.

After the arrow was pulled out, the ship, which had a draft of nearly a foot, floated a lot. Xu Sheng on the side said proudly: "Look at the draft, it has even caught up with the warships loaded with food and grass."

Lin Mo frowned and glanced at him, then looked at the warships and rolled his eyes. The weight would affect the draft, which was interesting.

At Baqiu Ferry, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Ce and others were all standing by the river.

Some people closed their eyes and said nothing but clenched their fists, some were pacing back and forth uneasily, and some squatted down and stood up again. The word anxiety was written on everyone's face.

Now, all of them knew what Zhuge Liang was doing, and they all knew that Lin Mo had seen through his intentions.

Therefore, they are all worried about whether the people who set sail today will come back alive.

Of course, they have also sent two large ships to lead the fleet down the river to search, but there has been no news.

"A boat is approaching!"

The sergeant on the walking path of the water village shouted, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and then shouted a second sentence: "It's our ship!"

came back?

Is it them?

Why is there only one ship? It doesn’t matter if there is only one ship. It must be the ship that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang set sail on. As long as they can come back, Xiaozhi and Junyi can come back.

It's okay, it will be okay. Cao Cao kept taking deep breaths to adjust.

Under everyone's attention, several damaged stern boats docked, but they did not dare to board the boats to check, as if they were afraid of seeing a scene that would make them desperate.

Not long after, Liu Bei was seen walking out, followed by Zhuge Liang.

Both of them were wet, and their eyes were dull and tired.

"Big brother!"

As soon as they saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately shouted excitedly. As long as their eldest brother could come back, it wouldn't matter if the sky fell. "Brother, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Liu Bei shook his head dejectedly, not wanting to say a word.

But that's not important. What's important is that Liu Bei is back, and that's enough.

In fact, at this time, Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief. They were back, and then Xiaozhi and Junyi could also come back.

But, why are these two people wet?

Cao Cao didn't ask, they themselves were talking a lot at the moment.

Following them, soldiers continued to disembark, and all the Changsha soldiers who had narrowly escaped death turned pale. But until everyone got off the boat, Fazheng and Zhang He were still nowhere to be seen, and the heart that had dropped just now became heavy again.

After waiting for a while and confirming that no one was around, Cao Cao swallowed, walked slowly towards Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, looked directly at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Where are Xiaozhi and Junyi?"

Facing Cao Cao's blazing gaze with murderous intent, Liu Bei hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his head in frustration.

Zhuge Liang on the side, either because the weather was really cold or because he was so frightened, he was trembling all over. He was fully responsible for this matter. Since Liu Bei couldn't speak, let him speak.

"General Cao, this is all my fault. It was me who harmed Xiaozhi and General Zhang. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back." After saying this, Zhuge Liang lowered his head sadly, as if he didn't dare to look at Cao Cao's expression. .

Hearing this, Cao Cao staggered back two steps, his expression was dull, he couldn't come back, they, couldn't come back?

At this moment, Cao Cao felt like the world was spinning and his heart was aching.

Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi will never come back.

To say how deep the relationship between Cao Cao and Fazheng is, it is actually impossible to say, after all, the two of them did not get along for a long time.

But, there are some people who can be recognized at a glance. In Fa Zheng, he can always see the shadow of Guo Jia, including when he makes plans, he also has that smell.

Therefore, whenever he thought of Guo Jia being uncomfortable, he would come to Fazheng for a drink.

In addition to this kind of emotional sustenance, Fazheng's own strategy is also extremely impressive. Although he lost to Pang Tong once, the battle at Tongguan was more due to his eagerness for success, and Fazheng cannot be completely blamed. .

Originally, he had hoped that with his help, he would have the opportunity to defeat Lu Lin and even return to the Central Plains.

However, before he had time to provide several strategies, he was actually played by Zhuge Liang?

He can never come back!

Cao Cao, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, pushed Xu Chu away who was supporting him, and glared at Zhuge Liang as he walked toward him step by step. His gaze seemed to even devour Zhuge Liang and he was still angry.

"Zhuge Liang, return my military advisor! Return my military advisor!"

Cao Cao's words were sonorous and powerful, and the questions came from the depths of his soul. Even if Liu Bei wanted to protect his shortcomings, he didn't know how to speak. He could only sigh and sigh, thinking it was Cao Cao venting.

Zhuge Liang was drooping his head because he was drowned in the Yangtze River, and his iconic silk scarf was blown crooked by the river water. With his depressed expression, he really couldn't associate it with the high-spirited young man who wanted to dominate the world.

"General Cao, Kong Ming's straw boat borrowed arrows with good intentions. In addition to alleviating the problem of our army's ordnance tension, we also wanted to give Lu Lin a morale blow. But we didn't expect Lin Mo to be so cunning." In fact, it is best to speak at this time. The man was Sun Ce, but he didn't think much about it. He kept silent from beginning to end. In the end, Guan Yu had no choice but to speak.

Cao Cao had a soft spot for him, and he could feel it.

But this time Cao Cao obviously had no intention of buying his bill. Xufaji Zhang said: "Yun Chang! Do you know that Xiaozhi died for me? If Xiaozhi hadn't spoken at that time, Zhuge Villager would have asked me to go with him!"

This is the truth. It can be said that Fazheng and Zhang He have completely replaced Cao Cao's position. Both Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang are to blame for this. Just go if you say you want to go. Why do you have to pull Cao Cao's cart? If you don't ask what he said , there are no such follow-up troubles at all.

"Xiaozhi died for me, Xiaozhi died for me."

Roaring Cao Cao suddenly punched Zhuge Liang and landed heavily on Zhuge Liang's cheek, "You are a genius, how can you borrow arrows from a straw boat? If you had told your plan earlier, why would we be in such a mess!"

This is the reason why Sun Ce didn't speak. In fact, if Zhuge Liang didn't show off, at least Lu Lin would be unlikely to come to the straw boat to borrow arrows.

Well now, you Zhuge Liang failed to borrow arrows, but Lu Lin succeeded in borrowing arrows. The family that was not originally wealthy was even worse. Coupled with the low morale, you tell me, why do you have to keep it a secret?

"Meng De, since Kong Ming worships me as his master, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility for his crimes. Please don't embarrass him. His intentions are good!" Zhuge Liang staggered to the ground after receiving a punch from Cao Cao. With blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, of course Liu Bei could no longer sit idly by.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also hurriedly stood in front of Liu Bei. In fact, Cao Cao's punch came suddenly, otherwise they would not have watched Zhuge Liang being beaten.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing them rushing out, Xu Chu pulled Cao Cao behind him, showed the Fire Cloud Sword, and shouted with an evil look: "Do you want to fight?"

Not far away, Wenpin, Xu Huang, Cao Hong and others also rushed over with weapons in hand.

"Everyone calm down!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly raised his hands and shouted, "Mengde, if there is a war between you and me at this time, it will only allow Lu Lin to take over the world. Xiaozhi will leave if he doesn't leave. The entire responsibility for this matter lies with us. Please forgive me." You will be redeemed by your military exploits in the future!

Also, I have made it clear before that if Kong Ming cannot borrow the arrows, our troops are willing to obey Meng De's orders! "

Cao Cao's blood-red eyes stared at Zhuge Liang coldly, but his body no longer heaved violently. It was obvious that Liu Bei's words had an effect.

The river wind roared, and Cao Cao finally snorted coldly, "Drag me down, for the crime of deceiving the army's morale, twenty military sticks!"

When Liu Bei wanted to stop him again, Zhuge Liang tugged on his sleeves and shook his head to indicate rejection.

He knew like a mirror in his heart that even if Liu Bei refused to agree to anything, Cao Cao would not really kill him, but he would not be able to escape certain punishment.

Cao Cao did this to vent his anger, but more to appease the soldiers and the rear.

Although Zhang He was a demoted general, he had gained some prestige in the army following Cao Cao over the years. Fa Zheng was the core representative of Sichuan and Shu forces. Fa Zheng had made great efforts to quickly put down the Yizhou rebellion.

Now, both of them died because of Zhuge Liang. If Cao Cao didn't express anything, the civil and military officials behind him would be unconvinced.

Zhuge Liang understands this truth.

However, when the sergeant came to drag him, Zhuge Liang finally muttered: "Wait a minute."

Then he looked at Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, how did you know that I set sail on a straw boat to borrow arrows?"

Everything else was fine. Zhuge Liang just wanted to ask this point clearly. He clearly heard Guan Yu just saying that his straw boat borrowed arrows out of good intentions.

At the same time, Cao Cao was also angrily scolding his straw boat for borrowing some arrows. He did not act surprised, and he obviously knew about it.

In this way, before they returned, they all knew that they were just borrowing arrows from a straw boat. This is a bit strange. You didn't know it for so many days. How could you all know it as soon as you set sail?

Guan Yu was hesitant to say something. Those words were too hurtful and he was embarrassed to say them out. He still had to be brave. He immediately told Lu Lin about borrowing arrows from a straw boat.

In the end, he also shouted out the phrase "Wolong's clever plan to calm the world, he lost his warships and sent arrows". He was really an honest man.

Zhuge Liang's face was the color of pig liver. He felt like a huge stone was pressing in his chest, and there was a lump in his throat. He couldn't get up or get down. It was so uncomfortable.

Lin Mo really knew that he was not a fluke, and those throwers were prepared for him.

How did he know? Zhuge Liang couldn't figure it out. What was even more confusing was how he knew that this was his own plan and not Fa Zheng Xun You's plan.

Originally, he was holding his breath and preparing to compete with this contemporary Qilin talent, so he used this straw boat to suppress his momentum first.

Unexpectedly, he broke the news and left these harmless but highly insulting words.

Not sure whether it was because he was too tired, or because all the questions were overwhelming him, or because he was really too angry, Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Kong Ming! Military Advisor!" A crowd of people gathered around him. Liu Bei was even frightened and went to check on his men. Fortunately, he just fainted.

Guan Yu also rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei and said in a low voice: "Yide, there is no need to tell the military advisor about those last words."

Liu Bei sighed, "Sooner or later, we will know about this."

That's right, if someone shouted like that, who in the whole battalion wouldn't know it? Can they hide away?

Cao Cao, who was standing by, was not in such a mood. He snorted coldly, "Dizzy? Even if you faint, you will be beaten!"

　Tomorrow's update will be later, so I have to review it. If I can't make it in time, I'll take a day off. Of course, I'll try not to take it.
