I'm very glad that I was able to beat the old fox while he wasn't there. This is a very good phenomenon.

This made me know that I was confident that I could defeat Cao Cao even without their help. It gave me a great boost of confidence.

We are the winners. When we returned to Fancheng, Liu Bei had already led a large army to meet us. He also knew that we had won the battle, because the heralds had informed them in the first place.

Zhang Fei laughed and ran over: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Mr. Tu, it's me Zhang Fei who looked away."

Liu Bei is very powerful, no wonder he will buy people's hearts so much, the first thing he did was not to ask how the results were, but walked to Zhao Yun and asked, "Zilong, are you okay?"

Zhao Zilong said: "My lord, I'm fine, Zhang Liao's cavalry has been defeated by us." It is estimated that Cao Cao will no longer dare to act rashly. ”

"What should we do next?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment: "Let's go to Soochow to unite with Sun Quan." Fancheng couldn't stay any longer, and Cao Cao's army would soon return. Cao Cao claims to have an army of 800,000, which must be an exaggeration, and it is estimated that it is very likely to bring two or three hundred thousand. Our entire coalition army has less than 80,000 troops. If we play head-to-head, our chances of victory are still slim. ”

It took us three days to evacuate from Fancheng to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Soon, the spies came to report that the entire Fancheng had been occupied by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's 800,000 troops were ready to confront us across the river.

The Battle of Chibi is about to begin, and we only have more than 70,000 soldiers. Liu Bei has an army of 20,000, and I have 15,000 men. Together with Sun Quan's four armies, we are united. In fact, I have nearly 20,000 people in my hands, plus Cao Cao's surrender, I made a false report.

But the situation is still very bleak. In Sun Quan's mansion, I, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, are only the three of us.

On the table was a letter of persuasion sent by Cao Cao.

"Uncle Liu, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Sun Quan asked.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment: "There are no good countermeasures at present. When Cao Cao's army came, we had to fight to the death. ”

I don't know if Liu Bei really has no choice or deliberately refuses to help, I said: "This is impossible, our number is too small." Head-to-head, we don't have any hope. ”

Sun Quan and Liu Bei looked at me.

"Mr. Tu, is there any good way?" Sun Quan asked me.

I smiled and said, "If you two can be trusted, let me be in command." I have the ability to defeat Cao Cao. ”

Sun Quan said: "Mr. Tu Jiangxia did perform well in the first battle, but at the moment, we are obviously inferior in numbers. The weapons are not as good as Cao Cao, especially the arrows are even more scarce. ”

That's when I remembered that there was a straw boat to borrow arrows. There's a problem. I don't know the weather forecast, I don't have Zhuge Liang's skills, I don't know when there will be foggy days.

So I said to Sun Quan and Liu Bei: "If there is a foggy day, I will have a way to borrow 100,000 arrows."

Liu Bei and Sun Quan went through the Jiangxia campaign led by me, and they no longer underestimated me. But believing in one day that I could prepare 100,000 arrows was unbelievable in any case, and both of them looked at me suspiciously.

I smiled: "I can make a military order, if I don't prepare 100,000 arrows, Tu will come to see me."

I was angry in my heart, and I wasn't angry because I gave Liu Bei and Sun Quan military orders. It's the name butcher, I'm actually used to the word butcher, and I even forgot that my name is Xiao Ming.

Except for Slim. If she were by my side, only she would call me Brother Xiao Ming, and Sledgehammer. But now they're not with me.

It is not known whether Xian Xian will come back alive, and the life and death of the hammer are uncertain, but it is estimated that the hammer has been more than lucky.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan pondered for a while, and Liu Bei said, "Okay, I'll believe you."

"But I need boats and straw," I said.

The two of them were even more strange, Sun Quan said: "What do you want straw for?" In our Dongwu rice and water town, there are boats, and there is no shortage of straw. You can prepare as much as you want. ”

I nodded: "The more the merrier, the more the merrier."

The next day, before I got up, Sun Quan had already sent someone to deliver hundreds of truckloads of straw. I ordered the soldiers to tie them all into scarecrows.

The soldiers were very strange, they all thought I was crazy, only the monkeys knew why.

The monkey came up to me and said, "Butcher, you are shameless. This person Zhuge Liang came up with a way to be misappropriated by you. ”

I brazenly said, "Yes, I still hope to go down in history in the future."

The monkey cursed the calf and left.

It took us two days to finally tie these scarecrows. I asked the soldiers to find the clothes of the sailors and put them on these scarecrows, and the soldiers were even more strange, but the commander had to obey them.

Finally, some soldiers couldn't help but ask curiously: "General, can you get arrows with these straw men?"

I nodded and smiled, "Yes." When there is a foggy day, the heavenly soldiers and generals will drop countless arrows for you to use, and you will have to fight bravely to kill the enemy in the future. ”

These soldiers are very coaxing, and they are convinced of this.

After Cao Cao occupied the north bank of the Yangtze River, there was no movement, and the worst thing was that the foggy day did not come for a long time. I have nothing to do all day, and my biggest concern right now is the slender ones. I don't know if the old fox has shone on the mystic fruit. I can only pray to Heaven for protection. Every day, in addition to sleeping or going to the barracks for a walk, I just went to Sun Quan and Liu Bei to drink and brag. I was amazed by the breadth of their knowledge, and I learned a lot of useful things from chatting with them. These are things that you can't learn from books.

On this day, I was sleeping in the barracks, and a soldier ran over in a panic: "General, general, it's a foggy day!" It's foggy. ”

The monkey also broke in in a hurry: "Butcher, you deflated calf, get me up."

I hurriedly put on my clothes, got up and saw that the fog outside was thick and I couldn't open my eyes, and I was overjoyed: "Hurry up and board the ship."

The soldiers were already waiting for us on board. I left only a few soldiers on each boat to beat gongs and drums. When we boarded the ship, Sun Quan and Liu Bei actually came, and they looked at us curiously, looking at these scarecrows.

Sun Quan asked, "What are you doing here?" What kind of sorcery do you count on these scarecrows to borrow arrows".

I smiled and didn't speak, and the monkey said, "Just look at it."

Our boat sailed in the direction of Cao Cao with the wind. The fog was so thick that it was not even clear to see from ship to ship. I told the soldiers in advance that we would stop at a distance of about a hundred meters from Cao Cao's army on the shore, which was exactly within the range of the archers.

Everything was quiet, surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of paddling, the sound of oars plucking. Besides, there was no sound, and the thick fog made us even dull.

The mist sticks to the body very uncomfortable, and I think Cao Cao on the other side is even more uncomfortable. We want to borrow arrows from straw boats.
