Chapter 52 Liu Biao died in Jingzhou Cao Liusun fought against Chibi (25
Lu Su prepared 20 fast ships for Zhuge Liang, with more than 30 people each, including mantles, grass people and other things, waiting for Zhuge Liang to call. The money needed by Nan Ye was also sent to Nan Ye as soon as possible, so as not to find a reason for Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang to complete the task.
Zhuge Liang got the ship but there was no movement at all. Nan Ye, on the contrary, ordered Wei and Zhou Cang to buy raw materials at the first time. However, due to Zhou Yu's obstruction, arrow bamboo, feathers, glue paint and other things could not be bought, and military craftsmen could not start making arrows.
Although Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang's reactions were different, the result was the same. The five-day deadline had passed for four days, and neither of them had started work. It was not until the fourth watch on the fifth day that Zhuge Liang secretly invited Lu Su to his ship.
Lu Su's mood has been wavering in the past few days. On the one hand, he hoped that Nanye and Zhuge Liang would make arrows to escape the disaster, and on the other hand, he felt that it was not necessarily a good thing that the two could not cross the other. Lu Su was worried that the second man would not have an arrow to plead with him, so he had been avoiding it these days. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang would come to invite him the last day, which made Lu Su have to come.
As soon as Lu Su saw Zhuge Liang, he said, "Why didn't Mr. Kong Ming make arrows to find me?" If I beg for mercy, there is nothing I can do."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Please take arrows with me."
Lu Suqi said, "Where can I get it?"
Zhuge Liang said, "Zi Jingmo, don't ask, you will know when you go there." After saying that, he ordered the 20 ships prepared in advance to be connected with long cables and went to the north shore.
Just as the fleet was about to set off, someone shouted, "Why don't you ask me to go to get the arrows?"
Zhuge Liang looked back. It was Nanye and Pang Tong who came with Dian Wei and Zhou Cang. Lu Su was even more surprised and asked, "Is the national master going to get arrows with Mr. Kong Ming?"
Nan Ye smiled and said, "It's the same road."
Zhuge Liang was also surprised how Nan Ye made arrows, so he said, "In this case, please invite the national teacher to go with you." After saying that, several people boarded the boat together and went to the north shore.
It was foggy that night, and it was even more foggy in the Yangtze River. The two could not meet opposite each other. Fortunately, the sailors are experienced, and they will not lose their direction in the fog. This fog was not as heavy as before it hid the leopard of Nanshan. Gradually full of congestion, I want to be fascinated by the sea. Then it was connected to the sky, drooping thickly, vast and boundless. The mountains and rivers and the warships in the water are all hidden in the fog.
A team of boats gradually drifted away, and by the fifth watch, the ship had approached Cao Cao's water village. Zhuge Liang ordered the sailors to put away the west and east end of the ship's head, and then let the soldiers beat drums and shout on the boat. For a moment, the sound of drums shook the sky and the sound of killing was permeated.
Although Lu Su didn't know where he was because of the fog, he could more or less distinguish the north and south. He knew that this place was not far from Cao's water village. At that time, he was shocked and said, "This place is close to Cao's camp. What if Cao Bing came out?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I don't expect Cao Cao to dare to come out in the fog. I will just drink for fun and come back when the fog dissipates. If there is a national teacher here, I must wait worry-free.
Nan Ye knew the purpose of Zhuge Liang's trip, but when he was really immersive, he had to admire Zhuge Liang's courage. There are thousands of warships in Cao Cao's water village. Zhuge Liang dares to take 20 boats under Cao Cao's eyes, which not only shows that he is wise and superior, but also shows that Zhuge Liang is bold. Nanye followed Zhuge Liang this time not to protect him, but to take the opportunity to leave Zhou Yu's camp. Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su to accompany him for the same purpose. If Lu Su hadn't followed him, Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang would not be able to leave Zhou Yu's camp.
At this moment, Cao Jun had heard the sound of drums and shouts in the water village, and Le Jin and Li Dian hurriedly returned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao boarded the ship and saw that the river was foggy, and he only saw the shadow of the boat in the river, but he didn't know how many warships there were.
Cao Cao sent an order: "The enemy in the fog and the river will suddenly be ambushed. Don't act lightly. Each of you led 10,000 sailors to shoot arrows randomly.
Le Jin and Li Dian got the order not to go out of the water village. They only led the bow and crossbow to shoot arrows in front of the village. For a moment, the arrows were like rain, and all of them shot at the warships in the river.
Nan Ye and others heard the sound of "Woo~Wo~" in the boat, and Lu Su's face was as pale as earth. Although the ship was blocked and the bow and arrow could not shoot into the cabin, the warship began to tilt in a moment, obviously because there were too many arrows on one side. Lu Su panicked and said, "Kong Ming, go quickly! The boat is going to capit.
Zhuge Liang did not panic at all. He only ordered people to turn the ship, head east and west, and continued to beat drums and shout, approaching the water village to receive arrows, making the hull gradually balanced. When the fog cleared, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to be taken back. The grassmen on both sides of the 20 boats are already lined with arrows. Zhuge Liang ordered the sergeant on the ship to shout in unison, "Thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for the arrow!"
Le Jin and Li Dian learned of the trick, and while ordering people to catch up, they returned to Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang had been prepared for a long time, and the warship had already sailed more than 20 miles, and it was too late to catch up. Cao Cao was immediately annoyed when he heard the news.
Twenty warships left Cao Junshui Village, and Zhuge Liang walked out of the cabin and stood on the grass man with arrows in his fingers: "I see that there are about five or six thousand arrows on each ship. In this way, it doesn't take half of Jiangdong's effort to get more than 100,000 arrows. Isn't it inconvenient to shoot Cao's army during the war?"
Lu Su sighed when he saw this: "Mr. Kong Ming is also a real god! How did you know it was so foggy today?
Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "For generals who don't know astronomy, don't know the benefits of the land, don't know the strange gate, don't know the yin and yang, don't look at the array map, don't know the military situation, they are mediocre. I calculated today's fog before the fifth day, so I agreed to limit it to five days. Gongjin ordered me to make arrows for ten days, but the craftsman's materials should not be handed. He obviously wanted to kill me. Now that heaven helps each other, how can Gongjin hurt me?"
Lu Su saw that Zhuge Liang had seen through Zhou Yu's plan, bowed him in his heart, and asked Nan Ye, "Mr. Kong Ming's 100,000 arrows are ready. Where can I get the arrows of the national teacher?"
Nan Ye said, "Since you have arrived at the north bank, you can take a detour to Xiakou to get arrows."
When Zhuge Liang heard the words, he ordered the fleet to go to Xiakou first. Sure enough, he saw a team of ships docked by the river, and the ship was full of flags. The fleet saw these 20 warships full of arrows and immediately followed. When they came closer, it was Zhuge Jin and Zhang Baiqi on the ship.
It turned out that the materials purchased by Nanye and Zhou Cang were fake, and it was true to contact the dart bureau to send arrows. Now Nanye's army is stationed in Jingnan, and it is most convenient to allocate 100,000 arrows. The arrow-making fee given by Zhou Yu is directly used by Nanye to buy arrows. This arms sale is still stable even if it is free shipping.
Zhuge Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhuge Liang: "The national master ordered me to wait by the river and wait for the boat full of arrows to pass by and send arrows. At that time, I wondered how there could be such a strange ship in the world. It turned out that the virtuous brother was here."
Zhuge Liang came forward to salute and said, "I don't know the prophet!" My brother also asked to talk on the ship. After saying that, he led Zhuge Jin to board the boat, and everyone returned to Zhou Yushui Village.
