Chapter 83 Military Order

Zhou Yu cast Zhuge Liang coldly, looked at the five hundred beggar-like soldiers and horses behind him, and said: "The Sun Liu alliance, we brought [-] soldiers and horses to set up camp again, but you all made a verbal alliance without showing any sincerity. What alliance is it called?"

"Our army sent [-] soldiers, but you only brought hundreds of remnants. They looked like starving ghosts. Did you bring them to beg for food from Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The governor is calm, don't be impatient, and listen to me."

"Water warfare is of course important, and Jiang Xia has to defend it. If Cao's army breaks through Jiang Xia from the upper reaches, and then the army circles around from the land and attacks the commander's back, it will be bad."

"We stationed troops in Jiangxia with this deep meaning."

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and said, "With the current situation, the water army should be superior to Cao's bandits in a decisive battle. Otherwise, after Cao's army masters water warfare skills, do you think you can still win?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Captain, now that winter is approaching, Cao's army is not acclimatized, and there are many sick people. Instead of rushing to a decisive battle, it is better to let them consume a wave first."

"Then we saw the right time, and when Cao's army was in chaos, the governor led the Jiangdong water army to defeat Cao's bandits head-on, and my lord led the army across the Han River to directly capture Cao's bandit camp."

"Under water and land, Cao's army is bound to be defeated!"

Zhou Yu was laughed out of anger. This guy doesn't want to work and doesn't want to contribute. He only wants us to attack the front. They take advantage of the opportunity. How can such a good thing happen?
Zhou Yu said angrily: "It's easy to say, our army is far away, and there is no shortage of food and weapons. What can we use to fight Cao Jun? Are you willing to provide supplies for our army?"

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and he couldn't just take advantage of the benefits and stop working. He still had to do something properly so that he could fool them into desperately fighting Cao Cao.

So he said: "Gong Jin is right, some supplies, our army will naturally provide them."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, thinking about it.

"Well, our army and Cao's army are fighting on the water, especially relying on bows and arrows. However, in recent days, bows and arrows have been greatly worn out. Could you ask Kong Ming to provide some bows and arrows for our army?"

Zhuge Liang: "How much?"

A sneer appeared on Zhou Yu's face: "One hundred thousand!"

"How long will it take?"

The smile on Zhou Yu's face became wider and wider, "Our army and Cao thief have already started a fierce battle, so naturally there is no delay, and the limit is three days."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he felt a bit of a headache, Jiangxia Liu Bei was out of his mind, and he was not sad about anything, so it would be impossible to count on him.

And in three days, even if the bow and arrow are made, it is too late to transport them back and forth.

Walking back and forth a few steps, looking at the river bank in the distance, and Cao Jun's water village opposite.

It is said that Cao Jun has an army of 80, so there may be [-] bows and arrows from one round of shooting, right?

Even if there are only tens of thousands of people shooting arrows, if they shoot a few more rounds, they should be able to make up [-] arrows, right?

The idea of ​​borrowing arrows from straw boats came up spontaneously.

The opposite side is not stupid, and will not give it to you for nothing.

Then there is one condition, the straw boat cannot be seen from the opposite side, even at night. Recently, the moon and stars are sparse, and you can still see it, so it can only be a foggy day.

Zhuge Liang dipped his saliva with his thumb, and stood in front of his eyes, the river wind blew by, and the saliva hadn't dried up for a long time.

It shows that the air humidity is very high, and there must be heavy fog in the near future.

Then he nodded confidently and said, "Okay, as Gong Jin said, one hundred thousand arrows will be delivered within three days."

Zhou Yu laughed loudly, "Kong Ming, don't lie. There are no jokes in the army. If you can't hand it over, are you willing to be punished by military law?"

Zhuge Liang: "That's natural."

Zhou Yu: "It's empty talk, I will issue a military order, and Kong Ming will sign it, then take your 500 people and go to make arrows."

After Zhuge Liang signed the military order, he took 500 troops and set up camp by the river to make some preparations.

Zhou Yu turned to Lu Su and said, "Zijing, follow him and see what he can do."

"Building [-] arrows in three days, since he dares to agree, it means that he may have some extraordinary method of making arrows. Go and observe secretly, and learn this technique. It will be of great benefit to Jiangdong in the future."

They nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.

"Also!" Zhou Yu continued: "The most important thing is to keep an eye on Kong Ming. If he fails to make one hundred thousand arrows and runs away by himself, I won't be able to vent my anger."

Lu Su said: "Please rest assured, the governor, I know that he has a treasure on his body, named Ye Mingzhu."

"If I let him tell the treasures to be kept in my place, it is absolutely impossible for him to run away."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Zijing, Zijiang, I didn't expect you to look very honest, but you have such a trick in your heart, okay, go quickly."

Lu Su said that Zhuge Liang was in the camp, but Zhuge Liang was sleeping soundly in the tent that had just been set up.

He hurriedly called him up and said: "Kong Ming, one hundred thousand arrows were built in three days, one hundred thousand, don't get me wrong, it's not ten thousand!"

"Now that time is running out, you're not afraid that the governor will use military law to deal with your mother even if you're sticking gum here?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Why are you arguing? Hasn't it been three days?"

Lu Su suddenly became angry: "When I came, your elder brother Zhuge Jin asked me to say that although you have some talents, but you like to talk big on weekdays, let me help you."

"But it's good for you, leave the military order alone, but sleep here, you get up quickly, I will arrange someone to send you pillars, feathers, iron and glue paint."

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang turned over and continued to sleep.

Lu Su got angry and said angrily: "Kong Ming, don't blame me for not helping you. I can't do business with you like this. I heard that you have a treasure in your hand. You press this thing to me, lest you go back on your word and run away." .”

Zhuge Liang got impatient and took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom, "Take it, don't disturb my sleep!"

Lu Su unfolded the brocade handkerchief, and saw a round ball, exquisitely crafted, as smooth as jade, and engraved with some runes that he could not understand.

It seems that there is some discrepancy with the crystal ball that Zhuge Jin mentioned.

Lu Su said: "Kong Ming, this crystal ball is said to be able to perform miracles. Why do I think this crystal ball does not seem like a treasure that can perform miracles?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Of course ordinary people can't see its preciousness."

When Lu Su heard this, he didn't dare to speak, and turned around to leave.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Please Zijing prepare thirty boats for me."

Lu Su wondered: "If you are asked to make arrows, what do you need a boat for? Can you go to Cao Yingzhong on the other side to transport arrows?"

Zhuge Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he said that Lu Su was worthy of being an important minister in Jiangdong, and he was only close to the straw boat borrowing arrows strategy he thought.

However, between pointing to the point, a slight difference is a thousand miles away, and often a small difference can reflect a world of difference.

Zhuge Liang quickly said: "You don't need to ask so many questions, you just need to prepare. Also, don't ask Zhou Yu about this matter."

Lu Su couldn't understand it, so he nodded in response, and then immediately ran back to tell Zhou Yu.

As the sky darkened, Lu Su walked into Zhou Yu's tent.

Zhou Yu arranged a banquet and invited Lu Su to his seat.

"Zijing, how is Zhuge Liang's arrow made?"

Lu Su said: "Zhuge Liang didn't make arrows, but slept while winning."
