Chapter 526: Chess is a Bad Move
"What? You repeat! Zhou Yu's face turned pale when he heard the news, his body shook suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he shouted.
The scout was also stunned, his report was clear, it stands to reason that Zhou Dudu was clear-eyed, but he didn't hear it clearly, how could this be possible? But how could he, a small soldier, dare to talk back to Zhou Yu, so he had to say: "Governor Qiyu, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been beheaded by Liu Ze, and their heads are hung outside the camp to show the public." ”
Zhou Yu's face was as white as paper, his eyes were blank, and he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that I, Zhou Yu, had a lot of calculations, but in the end, I was a chess difference...... The chess is a ......"
The scout was very puzzled, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were from the Jing Army, and Zhou Yu should be happy to fight in the Jing Army, why is this the case? But his status is humble, how dare he ask Zhou Yu, but he didn't obey the order, and he didn't dare to retreat, just stood there in confusion.
Lu Su waved his hand to signal the scout to retreat, sighed secretly, and said to Zhou Yu: "The matter has come to this, the governor does not need to feel nostalgic. ”
"If Cai Mao's letter had arrived a moment earlier, it wouldn't be today's situation! God doesn't bless me Zhou Yu, what can I do? Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body fell backwards.
Lu Su was horrified, hurriedly helped each other, and called repeatedly, Zhou Yu woke up, his expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "I was not defeated by Liu Ze's scheme, it was really a mistake by God, so that Liu Ze escaped by luck, and Jiangdong also lost the opportunity to win quickly, sad and sighed!" ”
"The governor doesn't have to worry, although Jiangdong doesn't have Cai Mao's help, it is not difficult to break Liu Ze, this time Liu Ze killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. The Jingzhou naval army will be chaotic, even if we can't get Cai Zhang's help, Liu Ze will also lose an arm, and in the battle of Chibi, our army still has the advantage. Lu Su reassured.
At this point, Zhou Yu also accepted the reality helplessly, and was sad for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Su: "Fang Caizi said that Zhuge Liang has already seen through a certain strategy? ”
"Yes, yes."
Zhou Yu's brows tightened, and a ruthless color flashed in his eyes. "This man is very knowledgeable. Talent is never below me. If it is used by Jiangdong, it will be a pillar of talent, but it is a pity that this person often has different intentions, and it will eventually be a big trouble for my Jiangdong. If you don't get rid of it now. There will be no end to the aftermath. ”
Lu Su was shocked. said: "Gong Jin suspects that Kong Ming is Liu Ze's meticulous work, but after he arrived in the army, he has been sending people to monitor him. Kong Ming is not suspected of secretly communicating with the Northern Army, if Gong Jin insists on killing, Wu Hou and Zhuge Ziyu will not be able to explain there. ”
"Zhuge Liang is scheming, even if he is Liu Ze's meticulous work, how can you let you detect it lightly? Cai Mao Zhang Yun's matter Zhuge Liang was clearly expected, but he never said it explicitly, only when my plan failed, he came out to laugh, such a treacherous and sinister person, his heart can be punished! If I don't kill him today, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart! Zhou Yu's eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Lu Su knew that Zhou Yu had vented his resentment on Zhuge Liang at this time, and sighed in his heart, Gong Jin has always been known for his elegance and elegance, but when he met Zhuge Liang, he was full of jealousy, could it be that the two of them were the nemesis of fate? He couldn't accuse Zhou Yu of anything, so he had to persuade: "Kong Ming is not at fault, if Gong Jin kills him, it may be difficult to convince the public." ”
Zhou Yu sneered and said, "I have my own justice to kill him, and discipline him to die without complaint." ”
"How can it be done fairly?"
"Zijing doesn't need to ask about this matter anymore, I have my own plans."
The next day, Zhou Yu summoned the generals to discuss the matter under the tent, and Zhuge Liang, as a marching senator, was also in the ranks. Zhou Yu looked calm and said to Zhuge Liang: "The Battle of Chibi is close at hand, and the waterway is in front of the army, what kind of weapon should be used first?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and said calmly: "Water warfare should be based on bows and arrows." ”
Zhou Yu smiled happily: "Mr.'s words, I think so. It's just that there is a shortage of arrows in the army, and there are no powerful people, so I ask Mr. to supervise the production of 100,000 arrows, thinking that it is a matter of urgency to meet the needs of the enemy. ”
Lu Su sat on the side, and listened to Zhou Yu's words, but he already understood seven or eight points, since Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhuge Liang, he had to find a reason to let Zhuge Liang supervise the construction of bows and arrows, and Zhou Yu would secretly use some hands and feet, Zhuge Liang would not be able to complete the task no matter what, and Zhou Yu would be able to find a reason to kill him. So Lu Su secretly gave Zhuge Liang a look and asked him not to take this errand.
That knew that Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to Lu Su at all, and said quietly: "Since the governor is in the committee, he should receive the order from below." But I don't know when these 100,000 arrows will be used? ”
"Can it be completed in 10 days?"
"Liu Jun is eyeing Jiangbei, if he waits for ten days, he will miss a major event."
"In my opinion, how many days will it be completed?"
"Three days is enough."
"The army is not joking?"
"If a certain person wishes to make a military order, if he does not have 100,000 arrows within three days, he will be willing to be dealt with by military law."
Zhou Yu's face was colorful, and the sergeant took the pen and ink, Zhuge Liang happily signed the military order, got up and said to Zhou Yu: "Today is too late, from tomorrow, three days later, the governor can send someone to the river to move arrows, and he will retire." Then he drifted away.
Zhou Yu put away the paperwork and sneered secretly.
Lu Su said suspiciously: "Even if it is only ten days, it may not be able to make 100,000 arrows, Kong Ming boasted that he could make 100,000 arrows in three days, could it be that there is a fraud in it?" ”
Zhou Yu sneered: "This is his own death, don't blame me." As for the craftsmen, I will order them to delay the delay, and within three days, I will see how he Zhuge Liang can make 100,000 arrows? Zijing, you sent someone to keep an eye on him, and if you want to slip away under my nose, that is a daydream. Zhou Yu didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had the ability to conjure 100,000 arrows in three days, but he just thought that this was Zhuge Liang's strategy to delay the army, maybe Zhuge Liang would try to escape, but in this army, a scholar who was powerless wanted to escape from many levels, unless he gave wings.
Lu Su received the order and went to Zhuge Liang's camp alone, seeing Zhuge Liang's leisurely and relaxed appearance, Lu Su couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "Mr. Kong Ming seems to be confident, but he doesn't know how to make 100,000 arrows in three days?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said: "Liang Yijie is a scholar, he is neither a skilled craftsman, nor can he make tricks out of nothing, how can he make 100,000 arrows?" ”
Lu Suqi said: "Just in front of the tent, I gave Mr. a few looks, not letting Mr. take this task, Mr. is not sure that he can make 100,000 arrows, why should he do this errand?" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Since Zhou Dudu has the heart to calculate against me, how can he allow me to refuse? I only thought that Zijing was a friend who could make friends, so I made it clear what Jiang did, but I didn't expect Zijing to transfer this to the ears of Zhou Dudu. Now because Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were killed, the governor is angry with me, and he is determined to take my life by making arrows, how dare a humble person disobey his orders. Speaking of which, it's all Zijing who misunderstood me. ”
Lu Su said with guilt: "This matter is indeed because of Lu, I will go back to the Ming Governor, and resign from this errand for Mr., please rest assured, Mr. is fighting for his life to protect Mr. Then he turned and left.
Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Liang has already made a military order, how can it be regarded as child's play, although it is indeed not easy to make 100,000 arrows in three days, but it is not hopeless, but Zijing still needs help." ”
"What does Mr. need, but please speak, within Lu's ability, he will obey his orders." Lu Su knew that this was Zhou Yu deliberately making things difficult for Zhuge Liang, even if the craftsmen of the whole battalion were gathered, they might not be able to make 100,000 arrows within ten days, Zhuge Liang asked for help, but Lu Su did not dare to be full of promises.
"Wangzijing borrowed me 20 warships, each ship only needs 30 sergeants, and the boats are covered with green cloth, and each bundle of hay is thousands, tied on both sides of the warship, and used as you go."
Lu Su was puzzled and said: "To make arrows, you must use arrows and bamboos, tuft heads, feathers, glue paint and other things, Mr. does not prepare these things, but uses small boats and grass bundles, how can you make arrows?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "The mountain people have their own clever plan, and they will guarantee that there will be 100,000 arrows after three days, but they also ask Zijing to hide it in front of the governor, and must not reveal the slightest news, otherwise my head will definitely not be guaranteed, and I hope that Zijing will be fulfilled." ”
Lu Su previously told Zhuge Liang's words to Zhou Yu, so that Zhuge Liang suffered an unwarranted disaster, and his heart was also very unhappy, with his authority, it was not difficult to requisition thirty or twenty small boats, so he agreed immediately, privately allocated twenty fast boats, and according to Zhuge Liang's words, tied up the grass bundles, covered them with green tents, and never reported to Zhou Yu.
On the first day, Zhuge Liang did not move, but just sat quietly in the camp with tea and tea. On the second day, Zhuge Liang fished by the river for another day, leisurely. Lu Su is just a big surprise, but he doesn't know how Zhuge Liang will hand over his errand tomorrow.
At four o'clock in the morning of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su to the boat by the river. Lu Su said suspiciously: "What did Mr. call me in the middle of the night?" ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Today's deadline has arrived, and I specially invite Zijing to take arrows together." ”
Lu Su was surprised and said: "I haven't seen Mr. make an arrow in the past two days, where is Mr. going to get the arrow?" ”
"Zi Jingxiu will ask again, and I'll know later." Zhuge Liang sold a pass and ordered twenty fast ships to anchor offshore, connect them with long ropes, and look to the north shore.
It was a foggy night, and above the Yangtze River, it was even more dense fog, a few feet away, it was difficult to distinguish the trace, only the sound of the oars paddling on the water surface, and nothing else.
At the fifth watch, the sky was slightly dawning, and the ship was approaching the Jingjun Water Village, only to see that there was a white expanse in front of him.
Zhuge Liang ordered twenty clippers to line up in a row with their heads and tails in the east, and ordered the sergeants on the ship to beat drums and shout, the louder the sound, the better, and the louder the movement, the better.
Lu Su was so shocked that his soul was scattered, and he grabbed Zhuge Liang and said: "Sir, don't you feel that you have no way out, so you want to sneak attack the northern camp, don't you know that these twenty boats attacking the northern army are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, even if Mr. wants to die, why should he pull Su to accompany the burial?"
