Lu Su prepared 20 clippers for Zhuge Liang, with more than 30 people in each boat, and all the curtains, straw men and other things were ready, waiting for Zhuge Liang to call. The money that Nan Ye needed was also sent to Nan Ye as soon as possible, lest Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang find a reason to shirk if they couldn't complete the task.

Zhuge Liang got the ship, but there was no movement at all. Nan Ye was the opposite, and ordered Dian Wei and Zhou Cang to buy raw materials as soon as possible. However, due to Zhou Yu's obstruction, arrows, bamboos, feathers, glue paint and other materials could not be purchased, and the craftsmen in the army could not start making arrows.

Although Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang's reactions were different, the result was the same, the five-day deadline had passed for four days, and neither of them had started construction. It wasn't until the fourth watch on the fifth day that Zhuge Liang secretly invited Lu Su to his ship.

Lu Su's mood has been swaying from side to side these days, on the one hand, he hopes that Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang will make arrows to escape, and on the other hand, he feels that it may not be a good thing that the two of them cannot make a difference. Lu Su was worried that the two of them would not be able to make arrows to intercede with him, so he had been avoiding them these days, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to come to invite him on the last day, which made Lu Su have to come.

As soon as Lu Su saw Zhuge Liang, he said: "Mr. Kong Ming, why don't you make arrows and find me?" There's nothing I can do if I plead. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I specially invite Zi Jing to go and get arrows together." ”

Lu Suqi said: "Where to get it?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Zijing don't ask, you will know when you go." Then he ordered the men to attach the twenty boats they had prepared in advance to the north shore with long ropes.

As soon as the fleet was about to set off, someone shouted: "Kong Ming and Zijing went to get arrows, why don't you call me together?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked back, it was Nan Ye and Pang Tong who came with Dian Wei and Zhou Cang. Lu Su was even more strange and asked, "But the national teacher went to get arrows with Mr. Kong Ming?" ”

Nan Ye smiled: "It's the same road." ”

Zhuge Liang also wondered how Nan Ye made arrows, so he said: "Since this is the case, please ask the national teacher to go with you." Then they boarded the boat and headed for the north shore.

The fog was thick that night, and the fog in the Yangtze River was even worse, and the two could not see each other. Fortunately, the sailors are experienced in sailing, and they will not lose their way in the fog. This fog is like a flood at the beginning, and the leopard of Nanshan is hidden. Gradually, it is congested, and I want to be fascinated by the Kun of the North Sea. Then it goes up to the heavens, and it droops down to the earth, and it is vast, and it is boundless. The mountains, rivers, and warships in the water are all hidden in the mist.

A team of flat boats gradually drifted away, and by the time of the fifth watch, the boats had approached Cao Cao's water village. Zhuge Liang ordered the sailors to swing the ship's head to the west and tail to the east, and then let the soldiers beat the drums and shout on the ship.

Although Lu Su didn't know where he was because of the fog, he could tell the north and the south to some extent, and knew that this place was not far from Cao Cao's water village, so he was shocked at the time: "This place is close to Cao Ying, what if Cao soldiers come out together?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I expect Cao Cao to dare not come out in the fog." We'll just drink and have fun, and we'll go back when the fog clears. There is a national teacher here, I guess we have no worries. ”

Nan Ye knew the purpose of Zhuge Liang's trip, but when he was really there, he had to admire Zhuge Liang's courage. There are thousands of warships in Cao Cao's water village, and Zhuge Liang dares to take twenty boats to dangle under Cao Cao's nose, which not only shows that he is superior in wisdom, but also shows that Zhuge Liang is brave. Nan Ye followed Zhuge Liang this time not to protect him, but to take the opportunity to get out of Zhou Yu's camp, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su to accompany him for the same purpose, if Lu Su did not follow, Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang may not be able to leave Zhou Yu's camp for half a step.

At this moment, the sound of drums and shouts had already been heard in Cao Jun's water village, and Le Jin and Li Dian hurriedly reported back to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao boarded the boat, he saw that the river was full of fog, and he could only see the shadow of the ship in the river, but he didn't know how many warships.

Cao Cao ordered: "The enemy army in the fog will be ambushed suddenly, and you must not act rashly. Each of you will lead 10,000 sailors, and the crossbowmen will shoot arrows at them. ”

Le Jin and Li Dian got the order not to go out of the water village, and only led the crossbowmen to release arrows in front of the village, and for a time the arrows rained down, all of them shot at the warships in the river.

Nan Ye and the others heard the sound of "whooshing~doo~" in the boat, and Lu Su's face was as frightened as earth. Although the bow and arrows could not be shot into the cabin due to the planks, the ship began to tilt in a few moments, apparently because there were too many arrows on one side. Lu Su panicked: "Kong Ming, let's go!" The ship is capsizing. ”

Zhuge Liang did not panic, but ordered people to turn the direction of the boat, head east and tail west, continue to beat drums and shout, approaching the water village to receive arrows, so that the hull of the ship gradually balanced. When the fog cleared, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to return home. The straw men on either side of the twenty boats were already lined with arrows. Zhuge Liang ordered the sergeants on the ship to shout in unison: "Prime Minister Xie Cao gives arrows!" ”

When Le Jin and Li Dian learned of the plan, they ordered someone to chase after them and repay Cao Cao on the other. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang was prepared, and the warship had already sailed more than 20 miles, and he couldn't catch up. Cao Cao was immediately annoyed when he heard the news.

Twenty warships left Cao Junshuizhai, Zhuge Liang walked out of the cabin, and stood at the bow of the boat, with his fingers full of arrows: "I think there are about five or six thousand arrows on each boat. In this way, it did not take half of Jiangdong's effort, and more than 100,000 arrows have been obtained. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to shoot Cao Jun in wartime! ”

Seeing this, Lu Su sighed with emotion: "Mr. Kong Ming is really a god! How did you know it was so foggy today? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Because the generals don't know astronomy, don't know the geographical advantages, don't know the strange gate, don't know the yin and yang, don't look at the formation map, don't know the troops, they are mediocre." I calculated that it would be foggy five days ago, so I agreed to limit it to five days. Gong Jin ordered me to make arrows in ten days, but the craftsmen and materials were not at their disposal, and they clearly wanted to condemn and kill me. Now that the heavens are helping, can Gong Jinyan harm me? ”

Lu Su saw that Zhuge Liang had already seen through Zhou Yu's plan, and he was convinced, and asked Nan Ye again: "Mr. Kong Ming's 100,000 arrows are ready, where can I get the arrows of the national teacher?" ”

Nan Ye said: "Since you have arrived on the north shore, you can take a detour to Xiakou to get arrows." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he ordered the fleet to go to Xiakou first, and sure enough, he saw a group of boats docked by the river, and the flags of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau were planted all over the boat. When the fleet saw the twenty warships full of arrows, they immediately followed, and when they got closer, they saw that it was Zhuge Jin and Zhang Baiqi on board.

It turned out that Nan Ye's order to Dian Wei and Zhou Cang to buy materials was fake, and it was true to contact the dart bureau to send arrows. Now that Nanye's army is stationed in Jingnan, it is very convenient to allocate 100,000 arrows, and the arrow-making cost given by Zhou Yu is directly used by Nan Ye to buy arrows.

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhuge Liang: "The national teacher ordered me to wait by the river and wait for the boat full of arrows to pass by and come to deliver the arrows. ”

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and saluted: "The national teacher is unpredictable, and I can't do it yet!" The elder brother also asked the boat to speak. After that, he led Zhuge Jin on the boat, and everyone returned to Zhou Yu Water Village together.
