Zhou Yu also recognized Fang Shao at this time, and at the same time saw the dozen or so boats full of arrows, with his wisdom, he figured out what was going on in just a moment.

His face flashed with a hint of misrepresentation in an instant, and he was extremely shocked in his heart: "Liu Bei categorically can't think of such a clever strategy, and Zhuge Kongming is not there, isn't it such a masterpiece, but it comes from this penniless kid in front of him?" ”

Zhou Yu really didn't want to believe the facts in front of him, but in fact, he had the intention to make things difficult for Liu Bei, but at this time, he helped Liu Bei make a contribution, and he showed his face fiercely in front of the whole army.

Zhou Yu's psychological entanglement was only reflected in his face for a moment, and even Lu Su, who was close to him, couldn't notice it.

"Liu Yuanjun is really a generous person, and if he returns these tens of thousands of arrows to Cao Ying, he will definitely make Cao Thief half angry! Come on, what are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and move the arrows. ”

At the same time as Zhou Yu gave the order, he personally stepped forward to welcome Fang Shao and the others off the boat, but at this time, he changed his previous coldness, and said with a very kind smile: "Fang Shuzuo is young and promising, and he will have a bright future in the future, these tens of thousands of arrows Yu have accepted, let's go to my tent to drink a few cups of him, you have to tell me how you tricked that thief." ”

Fang Shao understands Zhou Yu's surname, he has a good attitude towards himself now, and it is not a good thing to ensure that it is accurate, I still remember the last time I was in Chaisang, that enthusiastic attitude, and then asked him to help dig Liu Bei's corner, and now he is smiling so kindly, I am afraid that he will have the heart of "seeking talent" again.

Fang Shao at the end of Eastern Wu didn't dare to go, thinking that Sun Quan was extremely suspicious in his later years, and how many meritorious ministers he had done, if he was moved by Zhou Yu's words, he would either achieve nothing in order to protect himself in the future, or he would do something and finally be killed by Sun Quan. After doing the math, it is safer to buy Liu Bei's potential stock in a down-to-earth manner.

At that moment, Shao said: "Thank you for the governor's good intentions, Shao is also acting on the orders of my lord, your two families are one, and it is also appropriate to do something within their ability, and the governor does not have to be polite." Shao still wants to report to the lord, so he will leave first. ”

Fang Shao politely rejected Zhou Yu's kind invitation, and then went through the water village with Zhao Yun and others in the surprised eyes of the Wu soldiers.

Fang Shao and Zhao Yun went straight to see Liu Bei, where Liu Bei lived, close to the riverbank, the noise on the river was not heard, and when someone came to report the news, Liu Bei guessed that Fang Shao must have made a move, and then he was about to go to the riverside to see what was going on, but he saw that Fang Shao and Zhao Yun had been talking and laughing and coming here.

Seeing the two of them with such expressions, Liu Bei thought that Fang Shao's plan had been accomplished, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "If my expectations are correct, have you already obtained those tens of thousands of arrows from Cao Ying, the captain of the transportation brigade." ”

Before Fang Shao could answer, Zhao Yun said: "I am here to report the good news to the lord, Zhongzheng's plan is very good, and now Zhou Yu is counting arrows by the river." ”

Fang Shao didn't want to take credit, and hurriedly said: "If it weren't for General Zhao's reminder, I'm afraid that this time I would disappoint the lord." ”

Fang Shao told the truth about the previous things at the moment, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said: "Zhongzheng, you have little experience, but it is rare to think of this layer of rockets at the last moment, no matter what, you and Zilong are fighting for me this time, hmph, I see if Zhou Yu will dare to squeeze me Liu Bei again in the future." ”

This night, it was really a few joys and a few sorrows.

After Cao Ying was teased by Fang Shao that night, the anger in his stomach was a little stronger, and he was still hesitating whether he should confront Wu Jun across the river like this again, but after being stimulated by this scene, he was determined not to give up without distinguishing between victory and defeat.

Therefore, Cao Jun rushed to work in the starry night, and after more than ten days of hard work, he finally built the water and drought company camp, and also called Xiangyang to allocate more grain and grass, and transferred part of the Xiangyang Navy that was blocked in the upper reaches of the Han River to Chibi by land to replenish the Jiangling Navy that had lost in the previous war.

The two sides faced each other across the river, except for a few occasional skirmishes with tentative surnames, and there were no large-scale battles, and November passed quickly, and the time was already December in the blink of an eye.

In less than 20 years, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Zhang Fei took advantage of the unstable establishment of Cao's army to lead more than 2,000 Liu Bei's troops from Fankou and stationed in the Lushan area on the west bank of the Han River and the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Although Liu Bei's two thousand men and horses were few, Cao Ying did not dare to be careless, and was originally going to transfer the northern army of the headquarters to sweep up, but unfortunately, after a heavy rain, the temperature plummeted, and an epidemic spread rapidly in the army.

The situation seems to be gradually turning against Cao.

However, the situation of the Wu army is not necessarily much better, last year there was a locust plague in the south, and the grain harvest in many places failed, and after the winter, the Shanyue people in Wu County and other places rebelled again, Sun Quan had to transfer a part of the troops to quell the rebellion, so that he had to reduce the number of soldiers and grain and grass on the Chibi battlefield.

This said, after the heavy rain, a light snow suddenly came, but Fang Shao was ordered by Liu Bei to go to Lushan to exchange their current situation with Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao had to brave the cold wind and cross the north shore from the lower reaches of Chibi.

When he came to the camp of Lushan, Fang Shao was already covered in snow, and when he entered Zhuge Liang's camp, a warm air of charcoal fire came to his face, and the whole person was much more comfortable.

Fang Shao looked up, but saw that Zhuge Liang was warming up around the stove, and there was a pot of wine on the stove.

Fang Shao took it off, shook off the residual snow on his body, and said in an envious tone: "Strategist, you bake a pot of good wine around the stove on a snowy day, you are really interested." ”

Zhuge Liang saw that he was coming, and hurriedly called out with a smile: "You came just in time, it is estimated that it is cold enough, this wine is also hot, hurry up and drink a glass to warm up." ”

Zhuge Liang personally poured him a cup of hot wine, Fang Shao was not polite to him, took it and swallowed it, and a warm current flowed down his throat into his stomach, immediately driving away the cold in his body, and he was so happy.

"I've drunk the wine, and my tongue is not stiff, hurry up and tell my husband about Wu Jun's situation." Zhuge Liang urged.

"It's not very promising." Fang Shao immediately explained the difficulties of the Wu army's lack of food and soldiers.

Zhuge Liang drank warm wine, there was a certain thought between his eyebrows, listening to him, put down the wine glass, picked up the feather fan and shook it, and said: "If the Cao army survives the cold winter, as soon as the spring plague passes next year, the morale recovers, and the combat strength of the Jingzhou naval army is improved, it will definitely be unfavorable to the Wu army, it seems that we must win this battle quickly, and we can't drag it out any longer." ”

The corners of Fang Shao's mouth raised slightly, and said: "Cao Jun is closed and does not fight, how can he win quickly." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled strangely and said, "If you want to win quickly, you must make a strange plan." ”

Fang Shao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Mr. seems to have a clever plan, and the student also has a plan here, but I don't know that it is the same as Mr. thinks." ”

Zhuge Liang paused with interest and said, "My plan is just one word." ”

Fang Shao leaned closer and said, "The student's plan is also a word. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said: "Okay, okay, then let's not say it first, just write this word on the palm of our hand first, and then show it together to see how our master and apprentice tacit understanding is." ”
