After Sun Quan's eldest brother sent his reluctant wife off the big boat, he decisively ordered the boat to start, and we swayed leisurely on the open Yangtze River. And we were followed closely by a dozen large boats, on which we could faintly see dense soldiers, we took advantage of the unprepared, quickly looked through binoculars, and found that like our ship, most of those soldiers were also woven with straw, and there was also a cyan curtain in the vacant place, it seemed that all the ships were arranged exactly the same, and the ship we were on was the vanguard of the pilot.

We were standing precariously when we heard the two soldiers next to us whispering and muttering, "My lord said that although we don't have enough arrows this time, we want to borrow them, but how can we borrow these empty ships? Where can we borrow them, and will they lend them to us? And now there is a shortage of armaments everywhere, and these arrows are also time-consuming and labor-intensive, will others easily lend them to us? I don't know if they are true or false?" The lord said that he would definitely return with a full load when the time came, and since the lord said so, then there must be nothing wrong, who is our lord? He is very clever and resolute, and he will definitely do what he says, so you can rest easy and just act according to his arrangement. "It seems that this eldest brother Sun Quan is far-sighted, he is afraid of leaking the news, so this military operation is in a state of absolute secrecy, so these soldiers are also in the dark, and they only know how to borrow arrows, but they don't know how to borrow them. Xiao Fei also whispered to me: "But this Sun Quan's tone is really big, I don't know if he can empty the white wolf this time?" After all, this is not the straw boat in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Mr. Luo Guanzhong as he wants, and I don't know if this trip will go well?" I smiled and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I won't see it later." “

Our big boat continues to sail slowly on the wide and mighty river in the dark and windy night of the moon, our mood is also very excited, very much looking forward to, this is a good moment to witness the glorious history, I can't help but look at the time, just at midnight, this time period was chosen just right, the river began to have a milky white mist, the fog is thick, misty, the mighty river fog is misty, the fog is all over the river, it is pitch black, nothing can be seen clearly. That Sun Quan gave a decisive order, and he ordered twenty ships to be connected together with a long rope, and set off at anchor. After a while, the fleet arrived at a very open place, there were some lights on the opposite bank, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Cao Cao's camp on the north bank, and the soldiers suddenly realized, like a dream, they woke up to realize that the purpose of their trip was to approach Cao Cao's water village. At this time, Sun Quan's calm priest set the head of the ship in the west and the tail in the east, and crossed in front of Cao's army. Then, he ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and shout, deliberately creating a sound of drumming and marching. The soldiers of Sun Quan next to them were all shocked, they knew that this time they were actually in front of the aggressive, powerful and ambitious Cao Jun Zhai, and they felt that their lord was so bold that he actually came here to borrow arrows, this is a danger, they are afraid that if Cao Cao is too powerful and comes prepared, it will not be good to capture them alive. Some soldiers even bluntly told their lords about this doubt.

After hearing this, Sun Quan calmly told the soldiers: "I expect that in this foggy night, they must not be able to see us clearly, and I deeply know that although Cao Cao is a hero, but he has a characteristic that he has always been suspicious. One of his friends, Chen Gong, saved his life and helped him escape with him. Seeing that it was getting dark, in a desperate situation, they happened to run into a grange, which turned out to be the home of Cao Cao's father's sworn brother Lu Bohao. The host entertained them very warmly, and after seeing the ceremony, he hid the two guests. At night, Cao Cao suddenly heard someone in the back of the house say that it was better to tie it up and kill it, Cao Cao was startled, thinking that his enemy had caught up, so he rushed out of the house with his sword, ready to fight his opponent to the death. When he arrived at the room, he saw a few people busy in the dark, and Cao Cao killed a few people without asking about 3721. Chen Gong ran over panting, and after seeing the scene, he cried bitterly, it turned out that it was Lu Bohao's family who was killed. In order to entertain the guests, they killed the pigs in the house, and Cao Cao was suspicious, and he mistook the good people for the bad ones. Cao Cao simply killed Lu Bohao's family, and then escaped with Chen Gong overnight, just when he met Lu Bohao on the way, the kind host personally went out to drink to the guests. Cao Cao was frightened, so he killed Lu Bohao. Chen Gong scolded Cao Cao for not being like this, and Cao Cao replied: I'd rather teach me to bear the people of the world than to teach the people of the world to bear me. Chen Gong had nothing to say. Then it is to kill Yang Xiu Cao Cao has a strategist named Yang Xiu, very smart, and like to show his talents, many times caused Cao Cao's unhappiness, once, Cao Cao asked the craftsmen to build a garden, after repairing, Cao Cao came to inspect, wrote a "live" word on the gate, and then walked away, the craftsmen didn't know what it meant, Yang Xiu told them that the prime minister meant that they felt that they were too "wide", so the craftsmen changed the door to a smaller size, this time Cao Cao was more satisfied, but I heard that it was Yang Xiu's idea, and it was not a taste in my heart. Another time, someone gave Cao Cao a box of crisps, and Cao Cao wrote a bag of crisps on the lid of the box, and then put the things on the table and went out. When Yang Xiu saw it, he actually gave the crisp to everyone to eat. Cao Cao knew that he was very angry and questioned Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu said: Didn't the prime minister write on the lid of the box that one person has a mouthful of crisp? Cao Cao had nothing to say when he heard this, but he hated Yang Xiu even more. Later, Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei once, but he was resisted, and he couldn't attack for a long time, and he felt very sad. The cook brought him a bowl of chicken soup, and he saw that there was a piece of chicken ribs in it, and it happened that his subordinates asked for the password of the day, and he replied casually. When the news reached Yang Xiu's ears, he said to people that chicken ribs don't have much meat to eat, and it's a pity to throw them away, and it seems that the prime minister is about to retire. Originally, the soldiers didn't want to fight endlessly like this, but when Yang Xiu said this, they were all happily ready to go home. When Cao Cao heard about it, he thought that Yang Xiu had shaken the morale of the army, so he took the opportunity to kill him, but soon after, Cao Cao really withdrew his troops.

After the death of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Liu Biao, the water slashing army in the Battle of Chibi, participated in the plan of Cai Mao's faction to make Liu Cong the successor. After deciding to surrender to Cao Cao, he and Cai Mao became the envoys of surrender, and both of them commanded the naval army on Cao Cao's orders. Although he was defeated by the Wu navy in the early days of the Battle of Chibi, he was forgiven and strengthened the strength of the navy. Zhou Yu, who was alert to the growing strength of the enemy, deliberately spread false reports that he collaborated with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and Wu Guo, causing them to be beheaded by Cao Cao in a fit of rage.

Cui Yan, a very beloved celebrity, was in fact also respected by Cao Cao. When Cao Cao first got Jizhou and rescued Cui Yan from Yuan Shao's prison, Cao Cao said to Cui Yan with great interest: Yesterday, I checked my household registration and found that there were 300,000 people in Guizhou who could replenish the soldiers, which is really a big state!" Cui Yan suddenly changed color: You don't want to appease the people, but you count the armor soldiers first, is this actually what the people of Canzhou are pinning on you? Everyone present was frightened into a cold sweat, and Cao Cao was not only not angry at all, but instead piled up a smile and apologized to Cui Yan in person. Out of admiration for Cui Yan's moral strength, Cao Cao even entrusted him with the education of the crown prince Cao Pi. Cui Yan lived up to his mission and trained Cao Pi to be submissive. Cui Yan had two reasons to raise Cao Cao's vigilance: Cao Cao had killed Cao Zhi's wife because of her fancy clothes, and this thin girl was Cui Yan's own niece; When Cao Cao decided to make Cao Pi the crown prince, he knew that Cui Yan usually preferred Cao Zhi, and he was worried that Cui Yan would play a bad role in it, although Cui Yan's performance was impeccable, he made it clear at that time: he was firmly on Cao Pi's side, and believed that only by establishing Cao Pi as the crown prince could the stability of the regime be guaranteed. Cui Yan's death was due to a letter and Cao Cao's own interest in the literary prison. In Cui Yan's letter, there are times when there is a change in time, and Cao Cao, who is suspicious by nature, immediately understands this as a sign of a change in the sky and puts Cui Yan on death row.

There was also Xu You, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were at a standstill in Guandu, and Xu You's visit played a decisive role, because he told Cao Cao a very important piece of information, which enabled Cao Cao to lead his troops to burn the grain of the black nest and sway the situation of the war in one fell swoop. Xu You was originally a corrupt villain, and the reason why he left Yuan Shao was also in Xun Wenruo's calculations, which was a violation of the law by his family. Since Xu Yu arrived in Cao Ying, his siblings have become even more frivolous, and he has no respect for Cao Cao, and even shouted at the banquet: Apu, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten Jizhou at all. Cao Cao had no choice but to laugh dryly, that's that. Maybe Cao Cao can tolerate Xu You's rudeness in front of himself, but he can't tolerate him being arrogant in front of others. When Xu You stepped out of the east gate of Yecheng, which was originally under Yuan Shao's rule, he shouted to his entourage: If this family (referring to Cao Cao) does not have my help, they don't want to enter and exit from this gate at all. Three hours after the voice was spoken, Xu You was immediately put to death in prison.

There is also a person named Lou Gui, the word Zibo. He, like Cui Yan, is also Cao Cao's suspicion. This Lou Gui helped Cao Cao defeat Ma Chaoshi, quite a meritorious service, he proposed to make the city of sand to use the cold northwest wind, so that the watered sand became an indestructible protective wall overnight, once made Cao Cao sigh: Zibo's plan, I can't do it. One day, Lou Gui and his friend Xi Zhu were sitting in the same carriage, and they ran into Cao's father and son going out. Lou Gui blurted out: In life, you can't just look at others like a spectator, you have to be happy. The sinister Xi taught Lou Gui's secret secret to Cao Cao that night. Needless to say, Lou Gui's head immediately fell to the ground.

There is also Mao Jue, the great hero who suggested Tuntian to Cao Cao back then, felt that Cui Yan was punished for no reason, sighed, and complained. Once, when I saw a black-faced prisoner on the road, I was so indignant that I spit out this incantation: Those who have black-faced prisoners on the road are the signs of three years of drought. Cao Cao also did not hesitate, and his subordinate Zhong Xuan acted quickly and put this great hero on death row.

A generation of famous doctors Hua Tuo is not a problem, Cao Cao personally handled state affairs, and he was seriously ill (head wind), so Hua Tuo was specially treated for him. Hua Tuo said: This disease is difficult to cure in the short term, and even long-term treatment can only prolong life. Hua Tuo wanted to go back because he had been away from home for too long, so he said: I received a letter from home, and I will go back for the time being. When he got home, he said that his wife was sick and asked for an extended vacation many times and did not return. After Cao Cao repeatedly wrote to Hua Tuo to come back, and issued an edict to the county to levy and send him, Hua Tuo had his own talents, and he hated being used as a servant to seek food, so he still did not go on the road. Cao Cao was very angry, so he sent someone to check on him, if his wife was really sick, he gave him 4,000 liters of beans to relax the vacation period, and if he cheated, he arrested and escorted her. As a result, Hua Tuo lied, so Hua Tuo was deported to Xuchang Prison by a passing car, and after interrogation, Hua Tuo confessed and pleaded guilty. Xun Yu pleaded with Cao Cao and said: Hua Tuo's medical skills are indeed clever, which is related to people's lives, and he should be tolerated and tolerated. Cao Cao said: Don't worry, there is no such incompetent rat in the world? Finally, Hua Tuo was tortured to death in prison. Before Hua Tuo died, he took out a medical book and gave it to the jailer, saying: This book can be used to save the living. The jailer was afraid of breaking the law and did not accept it, so Hua Tuo had to endure the pain and beg for fire to burn the book. It's a pity that such a famous doctor went like this. So it can be seen that Cao Cao is suspicious, and now that the fog on the river is so big, Cao Cao must not dare to rashly send troops out. Therefore, I concluded that Cao Cao would never dare to fight resolutely at this moment. Knowing who we are and knowing our opponents, you can rest assured, let us drink and have fun here together, and when the fog clears, we will be done and return with a full load. ”

Sun Quan is not afraid of danger, calm and unhurried, and has a bamboo in his chest, his move is good, stabilizing the morale of the army. Then he ordered someone to put a table on the bow of the boat, on which were placed with wine and fruits and other things, and began to drink alone in front of the river breeze, while drinking the wine unhurriedly, while singing Cao Cao's popular short song like a bell: "When you sing about wine, what is your life? Be generous and unforgettable. How can we solve our worries? Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. It is as clear as the moon, when can it be resolved? The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Talking about the old kindness. The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. The appearance of a bamboo in the chest. And some soldiers were arranged to dance and cheer, and for a time the drums sounded in unison, and the piano and the piano were harmonious, singing and dancing.

After Cao Cao heard the urgent report, as Sun Quan expected, but Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, seeing that we were purging and mighty, and seeing Sun Quan drinking and having fun calmly, he was actually leisurely, and he praised his own smugness as if no one was around, and he was full of confidence and confidence. When the scheming Cao Cao once again heard the endless drums and shouts from our side, which resounded through the sky, he decisively ordered that the fog on the river was very large, and the enemy suddenly attacked, they could not see the reality clearly, and should not be easily dispatched. Let the crossbowmen shoot arrows at them, and keep them from coming near. He made a mistake in his hurry, and hurriedly dispatched thousands of crossbowmen from the dry village to rush to the river, and together with the naval archers, they shot indiscriminately into the river. For a time, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the arrows were like fishes, shooting on the straw handles and curtains on the boats in the center of the river.

However, there were some unexpected situations, because the arrows rained down, and the light boat we were in was in danger of capsizing and sinking because there were too many arrows on one side, and the hull was tilted, so that the other side could be attacked again. Sun Quan asked the soldiers to beat the drums and shout vigorously, and the arrows over there shot more urgently, and after a while, the arrows were flattened, and everything was safe and sound, Sun Quan still stayed in the rain of bullets for a while, and when the sun rose and the fog cleared, all the straw men of our ships were densely packed with arrows. At this time, Sun Quan was satisfied and ordered the fleet to turn around and return. He also ordered all the soldiers to shout in unison: "Thank you Prime Minister Cao Cheng for the arrows!" When Cao Cao learned the truth, our ship had been steadily filled with half a boat's arrows, and the smooth wind and water were like arrows from the string for more than 20 miles, Cao Jun even if they wanted to chase us could not catch up, beyond the reach of the dust, love could not help, Cao Cao regretted this.

Cao Cao suddenly realized that he had been fooled, he regretted not being at the beginning, and stroked his gray beard in disappointment, facing the surging Yangtze River, looking at the big boat that we were far away, and sighed: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a generation of new people is better than the old people, I always thought that Jiang was old and spicy, but I didn't expect that the young people now are really good, pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, wise and brave, this son should be like Sun Zhongmou, Liu Jingsheng's son is like a guinea dog ear!" Because his voice is like a bell, coupled with the empty river and the sound of the empty valley, we can all hear his exclamation clearly.
