Chapter 20

When it came to business, Zhou Yu immediately became excited and said: "Although Cao Cao has many soldiers, he doesn't know water warfare, so his combat effectiveness may not be very high. As long as we plan well and make no mistakes, we will definitely defeat Cao's army. However, this war requires With the use of [-] arrows, with our current craftsmen, it may take a month to make them, but Cao's army will arrive at the city in at most ten days."

Immediately, Zhuge Liang smiled confidently and said, "It's just a trivial matter. I will be responsible for making the one hundred thousand arrows."

Then he paused, and then said: "It's just that although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are incompetent, they are proficient in water warfare. With them, it is not easy for us to win."

"Don't worry, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun surrendered to Cao Cao halfway, and they surrendered without a fight. As long as I do a little trick, I can easily get rid of them." Zhou Yu didn't take Cai Hao and Zhang Yun seriously, but He was more concerned about arrows, and couldn't help asking: "But can you really make one hundred thousand arrows in ten days?"

"It doesn't need ten days, just three days." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shaking his feather fan and said, "Liang can issue a military order."

"Okay, then we will issue a military order together!" Zhou Yu said with pride.

……

Zhou Yu had a classmate named Jiang Gan, named Ziyi, who was a famous scholar in Jiujiang.

He was ordered by Cao Cao to recruit Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu kept shirking his busy schedule and did not see him.Today, after issuing a military order with Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu immediately sent someone to bring Jiang Gan into the mansion.

However, Jiang Gan kept an eye out. He secretly took some anti-drinking medicines, and he became sober after a while.

At night, the two fell asleep together, and Zhou Yu, who was as drunk as a dead pig, murmured nonsense: "Zi Yi, let me tell you, those who follow Cao Cao have no future. I, Zhou Yu, only need to order In no time, someone will present the leader of Bandit Cao with both hands, do you think I am powerful?"

"Ah?" For a moment, Jiang Gan didn't know what to say.

"I'm amazing!" Zhou Yu continued talking nonsense, "I'm the best among our classmates..."

"It seems that Zhou Yu is really drunk this week." Jiang Gan rolled his eyes and thought in his heart.Then he rummaged around, and finally found a letter from someone in Cao's army who was illicit with Zhou Yu in a hidden compartment.When he saw the signature on it, he immediately turned pale with shock—the person who cheated on Zhou Yu turned out to be Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who hold the most important positions in the navy!
If these two wanted to murder Cao Cao, they would definitely succeed.

"No, I want to go back immediately, or the prime minister's life will be in danger at any time!" Thinking of this, Jiang Gan stole the letter, went out and said to Zhou Yu's wife who had not yet fallen asleep: "Ma'am, I have something at home, and I am afraid of going to work because I am leaving." Jin wants to stay, so he can only say goodbye to his wife here, and then leave without saying goodbye, and ask his wife to bid farewell to Gongjin on her behalf."

"Okay, I will tell my husband." Xiao Qiao smiled and nodded.

Jiang Gan left in a hurry. After he left, Zhou Yu, who was not drunk, came out of the bedroom.

"Then Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will surely die in the near future!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly.

……

On the other side, after Zhuge Liang issued the military order, he went to Lu Su in private and said, "Zijing, you can save me."

"Building [-] arrows in three days, how is such a thing possible?" Lu Su shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean you Kong Ming, you really shouldn't take that matter-- Although one hundred thousand arrows are difficult to obtain, all the craftsmen of Soochow can be mobilized, and they can still be made. But it will be different if you take over. Those civil officials of Zhang Zhao have enmity with you, and they will block you in various aspects .”

"It's okay, isn't there still Zijing you?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"I'm not that capable." Lu Su shook his head hastily.

"I don't need you to make arrows for me. I just need to find twenty big boats for me, Zijing, and put a thousand grass people on each boat." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shaking his feather fan and said, "I believe that I will be able to fly in the future." Zijing your ability, getting these is just a matter of effort."

Lu Su nodded and said, "It's really not difficult, but what's the use of it?"

"The heavenly secret must not be leaked." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Two days later, at Tianxia Library, Ji Ming, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang sat down to drink together.

"I watched the sky last night, and found that a star has fallen. It must be that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been killed by Cao Cao." Ji Ming looked at Zhou Yu and the three of them, and said casually.At this moment, Lv Meng came to report: "Report to the governor, according to the report of the spies, Cao Cao listened to Jiang Qian's words and beheaded Cai Hao and Zhang Yun."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them all looked at Ji Ming at the same time.

"Drink, drink." Ji Ming laughed.

"The master's stargazing skills are really powerful. Come, I, Zhou Yu, will toast you." Zhou Yu toasted Ji Ming with a glass of wine.Then, he took a look at Zhuge Liang, and asked, "I see Kong Ming's confident face, he must have already thought of how to make arrows. I don't know if the national teacher can guess what method he will use?"

"Of course I know." Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowed arrows, and no one in modern times does not know.

"What is the solution?" Lu Su asked.

"The secret must not be leaked. When the time comes, you and I will sit in the boat together and you will understand." Knowing is knowing, and Ji Ming will not say it.Zhuge Liang didn't think he could fool Ji Ming either, so he clasped his fists and said, "If the national teacher is interested, you can go with me tomorrow. Liang invites the national teacher to witness this rare plan!"

Every outstanding person is proud, and Zhuge Liang is no exception, otherwise he would not always compare himself to Guan Zhongleyi.

The reason why he doesn't show off at ordinary times is just because Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao, who often get along with each other are reckless, and it doesn't make much sense for him to show off.But it’s different now, the ones sitting at the same table are Ji Ming, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, all three of whom are famous all over the world, only by showing off your resourcefulness in front of them is real wisdom, and there will be no one playing against the cow a feeling of.

The same is true for Zhou Yu, in the whole world, only Zhuge Liang can arouse his competitive spirit.

One day later, the three of them entered the river by boat. Taking advantage of the heavy fog, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a straw boat and beat Cao Cao severely.

"That straw boat borrowed arrows? This Zhuge Liang is really a god!" Even if he was as conceited as Zhou Yu, he had to admire Zhuge Liang and admit that he was not as smart as the other party.The Battle of Chibi was imminent, and he invited Zhuge Liang to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao. The two each wrote a word in their hands and raised their hands at the same time, both of which were "fire".

There are only two people in the world who dare to think like that on the surging river.

Not only thinking about it, but after they decided on a plan, they immediately began to implement it: Zhou Yu was responsible for designing a false surrender and burning Cao Cao's warship with fire oil.As for Zhuge Liang, he begged for his own order, and went up to the altar to practice, so he borrowed east wind from the sky!
ps: The author of the Battle of Chibi has read it many times. This "Yu Liang teamed up" is the pinnacle of wisdom in the entire Three Kingdoms. Unfortunately, one of them protects Sun Quan and the other protects Liu Bei. After Chibi, this kind of peak wisdom will never again Appeared.
