Chapter 916: One Hundred Thousand Arrows!
Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu, who has always been in his heart, is now a very chic figure.
Every day, Xu Shu would pretend to come to Sun Ce to sit here, but he didn't take the initiative to say a word, Sun Ce didn't ask him, he didn't answer, almost like a piece of wood.
If Sun Ce didn't ask, Xu Shu would have found a reason to return to his residence, and then under the strange gaze of Jiangdong, Xu Shu swaggered to the mountain peak next to Chibi to see the scenery with a pot of wine and a few side dishes. At least in the eyes of Sun Ce and others, Xu Shu does this every day.
Zhou Yu was very strange that this Xu Shu went to that peak every day, and Zhou Yu also sent someone to investigate, and there was nothing special at all. Zhou Yu couldn't figure out Xu Shu's thoughts, but it didn't mean that Zhou Yu didn't think Xu Shu had a plan.
Xu Shu was even more dissatisfied with Sun Ce's words today, and there were a few words that satirized Sun Ce.
Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart, and he wanted Xu Shu to get out of his hands several times. But Zhou Yu always stopped Sun Ce, it was not very realistic to let Xu Shu return to Liu Bei at this time, anyway, now Xu Shu is still a little useful, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce should bear with it.
Sun Ce still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and scolded: "Gong Jin, this Xu Shu lives a leisurely life every day, our Jiangdong is rearming and fighting every day, Xu Shu is watching our jokes, I really can't stand it." Gong Jin, you have to find a way to teach Xu Shu a good lesson, otherwise this anger in my heart will not be extinguished. ”
Zhou Yu fell into deep thought, and finally said: "Xu Shu is here to assist us, he has nothing to do now, Bo Fu can arrange some things for him to do, lest he eat and not do things." ”
"Then what should I arrange for Xu Shu to do?" Sun Ce asked.
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Let's fight against Liu Yu, the biggest consumption in this water battle is this feather arrow." We sent a naval army to harass Liu Jun in Jiangbei every day, and the consumption of this feather arrow was also larger. Let's let Xu Shu make 100,000 arrows in five days. Isn't Xu Shu Liu Bei's military advisor? Liu Bei and we are in an alliance, that is, an ally. Liu Bei now eats all of our Jiangdong, and he should take out 100,000 arrows. ”
Zhou Yu is embarrassed, 100,000 arrows are made in Chaisang's workshop, and it will take about seven days, and Zhou Yu actually wants Xu Shu to complete it in five days, which is simply a bully.
"Okay, Gongjin, your method is too good, if Xu Shu doesn't agree, Ben will teach him a good lesson. If he says yes and can't do it, hehe, then there's a good show. Sun Ce was bent on giving Xu Shu a good look, and he didn't want Xu Shu to complete these 100,000 arrows at all, anyway, having or not having these 100,000 arrows didn't have much effect on him.
Zhou Yu also has this idea, don't embarrass Xu Shu now, if he continues to be arrogant like this, Zhou Yu will be angry no matter how big he is.
It's just that Sun Ce said again: "If Xu Shu needs our workshop, and then transfers people from Liu Bei, and rushes to work overnight, these 100,000 arrows are indeed not a big problem." ”
"How difficult is this. As long as we say that the workshop is rushing to make other things, we don't lend it to him. Zhou Yu quickly found a way.
Sun Ce nodded happily, as long as he said so, Xu Shu couldn't find an excuse if he wanted to borrow the workshop.
After deciding down, Sun Ce immediately sent someone to call Xu Shu back from the mountain peak where he often stayed.
Xu Shu wondered what Sun Ce would do to bring him back? But Xu Shu thought to himself that Sun Ce must not have anything good.
After Sun Ce saw Xu Shu arrive, he said to Xu Shu very enthusiastically: "Yuan Zhi, how are you doing in Jiangdong recently?" ”
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Thank you General Sun for your concern." Eat well and sleep warmly in Koto under the next. ”
Sun Ce was secretly angry in his heart, you eat and sleep well in Jiangdong, but Jiangdong is worried about Liu Yu's sudden attack, if you don't accept a good lesson, how can this evil fire in my Sun Ce's heart disappear.
Zhou Yu said beside him: "Xu Junshi can live well in Jiangdong, and I can rest assured." The lord worries every day that Xu Junshi has been wronged on the Jiangdong side. ”
"It's okay, it's a habit of idleness. Jiangdong's food is good, and he has gained a few pounds in Xia. Xu Shu said a little casually.
Zhou Yu shook his head a little in his heart, this Xu Shu seems to really want to make trouble, just now I thought not to embarrass Xu Shu too much, but now it seems that this embarrassing thing for Xu Shu must be done.
"Master Xu, you should have heard something. Cao Cao asked my lord for help. For the sake of Cao Cao and my lord joining forces against Liu Yu, my lord gave Cao Cao great assistance. Zhou Yu said quietly.
Xu Shu nodded and said respectfully: "The princes of the world, General Sun is the most righteous. I admire it too. ”
It was rare for Xu Shu to praise him, but Sun Ce didn't have any reaction, he now wanted to embarrass Xu Shu and lose face.
Zhou Yu pretended to smile bitterly and said, "Righteousness? Xu Junshi doesn't know. This Cao Cao is the main force to resist Liu Yu in Yuzhou, if Cao Cao can't hold it, it is impossible for Jiangdong to be stable. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and my lord has no choice but to do it. ”
Xu Shu touched his mustache and nodded lightly in his heart, Zhou Yu did not lie to this, the relationship between Sun Ce and Cao Cao is indeed the same.
"gave Cao Cao assistance, Cao Cao's side was happy. However, the situation in Koto is not so optimistic. Xu Junshi also knew that Jiangdong's original treasury was insufficient, and after taking out some of it, there would be a vacancy. Although there are donations from the people of Jiangdong, the current situation is not optimistic. Zhou Yu continued.
Xu Shu seemed to have guessed the intentions of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu today, and asked tentatively, "What does the governor mean?" I am stupid, I really don't understand the meaning of the governor and General Sun! ”
Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't continue to waste his tongue now, so he said directly: "Xu Junshi, fighting against Liu Yu requires a lot of materials. I'm constantly trying to prepare. But there is still no way to finish it. Xu Junshi, you also know that in this water battle, the biggest consumption is the feather arrow. The soldiers of the navy fought with Liu's army every day, and the consumption of this arrow was really huge. Now the stock of feather arrows is running low. There are about 100,000 arrows left. ”
"What does the Governor mean?" Xu Shu already knew Zhou Yu's intentions, but he still wanted to continue to pretend to be stupid.
Zhou Yu was able to conclude that he had said it so clearly, and Xu Shu's brain was so smart, he must have known, and he Zhou Yu was the villain this time, and said: "The governor of Pontus hopes that Xu Junshi can prepare 100,000 arrows for our coalition army. Just in case. ”
"There's no problem with this!" Xu Shu agreed on the spot.
Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and he didn't finish his words, Xu Shu agreed so quickly?
Sun Ce hurriedly said: "Master Xu, due to the urgency of this time, 100,000 arrows will be made in five days." ”
"Five days?" Xu Shu frowned, and finally said, "It's okay, it's not very difficult." ”
Zhou Yu coughed and said, "Xu Junshi, Chaisang's workshop is now rushing to make other things, and it will not be possible to assist Xu Junshi for at least two or three days." These 100,000 arrows still need Xu Junshi to figure out his own way. This is a bit embarrassing, but the Governor of Pontus thinks that Xu Junshi is extremely talented, and this little thing will not be difficult for you. ”
Sun Ce even said beside him: "Uncle Liu Huang and the general are in an alliance, and they have not made any contributions for so long, so Xu Junshi will not even be willing to take out these 100,000 arrows." In this case, Ben Jiang really doubted Uncle Liu's sincerity. ”
Xu Shu glanced at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce on the left and right, and these two guys sang and harmonized, making it clear that they were here to embarrass me today. But what Sun Ce said is very right, he represents Liu Bei, Sun Ce needs Liu Bei's help now, if he refuses, it will be very detrimental to Liu Bei.
And even if Sun Ce and Zhou You put forward so many restrictions, Xu Shu already had a way to deal with it in his heart.
"General Sun and Zhou Dudu rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with these 100,000 arrows. Five days later, please come and receive them. Xu Shu said confidently.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, this Xu Shu was finally fooled.
"Master Xu, then this matter will be handed over to you. I hope you don't let Ben down. Sun Ce looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.
Xu Shu arched his hand and said, "You will definitely not let General Sun down." ”
Sun Ce said secretly: When the time comes, you won't be able to take it out, let's see how Ben will count you.
After Xu Shu got Sun Ce's order, he immediately returned to his residence.
After Xu Shu left, Sun Ce immediately said to Zhou Yu: "Tell me to go down, not only will the workshop not give it to Xu Shu, but all the materials for making feather arrows in Chaisang cannot be sold to Xu Shu by anyone." ”
Zhou Yu thought that Sun Ce was angry with Xu Shu, and even explained such a lack of morality. But as a brother, Zhou Yu still needs to support Sun Ce.
The next day, Xu Shu still came to Sun Ce early in the morning as usual to be a wooden man, and he didn't look like he was going to make 100,000 feather arrows at all.
Sun Ce was amazed, could it be that after a night of thinking, this guy knew that he couldn't finish it, so he gave up on himself?
Zhou Yu was also very suspicious of Xu Shu's intentions, and then he wanted to see what preparations Xu Shu would have today, and now Xu Shu would definitely not implement it so quickly.
To Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's surprise, after Xu Shu went back, he went to the mountain peak he often went to see the scenery.
Almost many people in Jiangdong knew about Sun Ce's task to Xu Shu. 100,000 arrows in five days! If the materials are complete and there are more people to rush to work overnight, there is absolutely no problem. But Xu Shu didn't seem to want to prepare at all, and continued the three-point and one-line mode.
In the next two days, Xu Shu also lived in this way.
Regarding Xu Shu's attitude, many people in Jiangdong began to have opinions. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai and other martial artists have a very big opinion of Xu Shu, Sun Ce is supreme in their hearts, Sun Ce's orders, they will complete them even if they don't want to die, like Xu Shu, who is so ignorant of it, simply doesn't take Sun Ce's orders in his eyes. Gan Ning and other martial artists all want to give Xu Shu a good look. But Zhou Yu stopped them, saying that as long as Xu Shu couldn't finish it, he would wait a few days to punish Xu Shu, and Xu Shu couldn't find any excuse.
was said by Zhou Yu, and Gan Ning and others, who had a lot of opinions about Xu Shu, also suppressed their anger.
In fact, not everyone has an opinion on Xu Shu, and there is one person who is really worried about Xu Shu's next situation. This person is Lu Su.
Lu Su is bold and chivalrous. And Xu Shu used to be an existence that could draw a sword and kill people for the sake of friends. The two of them looked up in the red cliff and didn't look down, and after several exchanges, Lu Su and Xu Shu looked directly at each other like Wang Ba and mung beans.
It was an attraction between literati, akin to mutual admiration, and a common language. Xu Shu is not as elegant as Zhou Yu, but has a bohemian and uninhibited prodigal temperament, but this Lu Su likes to deal with such people the most. After going back and forth, the two became acquainted.
Now, Xu Shu wants to make 100,000 arrows in five days, Lu Su feels that it is impossible for Xu Shu to go on like this, but he doesn't know what Xu Shu has planned, so he hasn't asked.
On the evening of the fourth day, Lu Su went straight to the peak where Xu Shu had been staying, and Xu Shu was still drinking a little wine there.
"Yuan Zhi, are you still in the mood to drink here. When did you see a single hair of your 100,000 arrows? Lu Su said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.
Xu Shu saw that it was Lu Su, and said with a smile on the wine jug: "Zijing, come, today's sunset is good, why don't Zijing and Zai Xia use this beautiful scenery to accompany the wine and enjoy a good life." ”
Lu Su snatched the wine jug from Xu Shu's hand, drank the wine in the jug in one go, and then said, "Look at you, you really don't take the lord in your eyes." 100,000 arrows, if you rush to work overnight, there is no problem. I just don't know what's going on in your head? Do you think that even if you can't get 100,000 arrows, the lord won't do anything to you? ”
"Zijing. General Sun proposed so many restrictions, do you think I can rush to complete 100,000 arrows in five days? Xu Shu said leisurely.
Lu Su said a little angrily: "It's all because you usually don't have any respect for the lord, how can the lord not be angry!" ”
"Sun Bofu is not my lord, there is no need for me Xu Shu to respect him." Xu Shu said disapprovingly.
Lu Su shook his head, sat beside Xu Shu, and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind to let the lord punish you." Don't worry, tomorrow will be a few kind words, the lord will not do anything to you. ”
"Who said you can't get a hundred thousand arrows? In the next has always been a promise. The corners of Xu Shu's mouth rose slightly, and his expression showed a determined tone.
