Chapter 424: The Grass Boat Borrowed Arrows
100,000 arrows?
Hearing this, Chen Gong and the others couldn't help frowning.
If it is one or two thousand arrows, then they can find a way to work overtime, and they can also make it.
But 100,000 arrows are not something that can be made overnight.
Zhou Yu is clearly deliberately making things difficult for them.
"How about it, can Mr. Kong Ming do it?"
Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with blazing eyes, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He just wanted to use this method to make Zhuge Liang and others retreat from the difficulties and worry less about themselves.
But to the surprise of Zhou Yu and Chen Gong, Zhuge Liang smiled instead,
"Isn't it just 100,000 arrows, easy to say, easy to say!"
As soon as these words came out, let alone Chen Gong and them, even Zhou Yu was slightly surprised.
Everyone didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would agree.
"There's no joke in the army, Mr. Kong Ming."
Zhou Yu frowned.
"Don't worry, I will hand over 100,000 arrows within five days."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Okay, then thank you Mr. Kong Ming."
Zhou Yu sneered, then stood up and walked away with Huang Gai and his party.
After Zhou Yu and the others left, Chen Gong and the others surrounded them.
"Kong Ming, aren't you making trouble for yourself?"
"Yes, Strategist, that's 100,000 arrows!"
"Zhou Yu has never taken us seriously, if he can't do it, he will definitely take the opportunity to go crazy!"
Everyone was a little worried about Zhuge Liang.
You must know that they are now under the fence, where are the enough manpower and materials to make 100,000 arrows?
But he looked confident, waved his hand and smiled,
"Don't worry, I have my own way. ”
"Kong Ming has always been resourceful, so don't worry about him."
Chen Gong chuckled.
……
In the next few days, Zhuge Liang usually drank tea and went out for a walk, but he lived a leisurely life.
It seems that he has not taken on the task of making 100,000 arrows at all.
Originally, Chen Gong was still quite confident in Zhuge Liang, but seeing that the day after tomorrow was the day of arrows, Zhuge Liang was still indifferent.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
While Zhuge Liang was about to go out, Chen Gong hurriedly grabbed him,
"Kong Ming, what are you going to do?"
Zhuge Liang chuckled,
"It's raining lightly today, and it's time to go fishing."
"You're still in the mood to fish," Chen Gong said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel, "The day after tomorrow is the day of the arrow, and when Zhou Yu is punished, what should I do?" ”
"You can rest assured that you will be on me."
Zhuge Liang blinked.
"This can't be done, if you can't complete the task, I'm afraid we will also be implicated."
Chen Gong shook his head and was resolute.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly,
"Well, before dawn tomorrow, you can come to the tent to find me."
"Okay!"
Chen Gong promised to come down, and then let Zhuge Liang leave.
……
In the early hours of the next morning, it was still dark.
Chen Gong got up and came to Zhuge Liang's tent full of doubts.
"Kong Ming! Kong Ming! ”
He shouted several times before Zhuge Liang got up yawning.
"Brother Gongtai, why did you come so early?"
"Nonsense, I'm going to hand over the arrow tomorrow, how can I sleep peacefully?"
Chen Gong said angrily.
Zhuge Liang glanced at the sky outside, shook his head and smiled,
"It's going to be early, let's be later."
Saying that, he hung Chen Gong there, and went back to sleep on the bed.
This made Chen Gong angry enough, but he had to hold back his temperament and wait in the tent.
After a long time, it was just getting dark.
Zhuge Liang came to his senses at this time, and when he saw Chen Gong guarding the side, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Brother Gongtai, you are really positive."
"It's almost time, you get up."
Chen Gong urged.
Zhuge Liang got up, washed up, and walked out with Chen Gong.
Chen Gong originally thought that Zhuge Liang would take him to a workshop or something.
But to his surprise, Zhuge Liang took him to the Yangtze River.
At this moment, the Yangtze River was full of fog, and more than 20 warships were already docked on the riverside, each with more than a dozen soldiers on board.
Chen Gongyi frowned, and found that the outside of the ship was covered with dummies made of straw.
This deepened his confusion even more.
Zhuge Liang took Chen Gong on the boat and ordered,
"Head towards the camp of Huaxiong on the north bank."
Hearing this, Chen Gong was taken aback.
"Kong Ming, are you crazy? Didn't we take the arrows? ”
They had only twenty or so boats, and together they were no more than two or three hundred people.
If you go to the Huaxiong camp in Jiangbei, won't you kill yourself?
"Don't worry, I'm going to get the arrow."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
In Chen Gong's bewildered expression, more than twenty warships headed towards the opposite shore in the fog.
Halfway through the line, looking at the vast fog, and then thinking of the straw dummies around the warship,
A flash of lightning flashed through Chen Gong's mind, and he came to his senses in an instant.
"Kong Ming, you...... Are you planning to take advantage of the foggy day to borrow arrows from Huaxiong? ”
"The public platform is really smart!"
Zhuge Liang laughed and said,
"Yes, when we get close to Huaxiong's water village, the soldiers will beat drums and shout to attack."
"What if Hua Xiong doesn't eat this set and comes out to fight?"
Chen Gong said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Hua Xiong only has a few warships, but as long as he has brains, he will not rush out to meet the battle, and he will definitely order his soldiers to release arrows.
That's why I cover the hull with straw dummies. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled smugly.
Chen Gong was silent for a moment, and had to admire Zhuge Liang's ingenuity.
"It turns out that you haven't made any moves in the past few days, just waiting for today's foggy day!"
"Exactly!"
Zhuge Liang laughed and said,
"Gongtai, let's just drink on the boat, and Huaxiong will naturally send the arrows later!"
After Chen Gong understood, he temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart.
Soon more than 20 ships arrived, less than 200 steps away from Huaxiong Water Village.
According to Zhuge Liang's orders, the soldiers lined up the warships, and then began to beat drums and shout.
Soon the water village in Huaxiong was beating gongs and drums, and someone shouted,
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
But sure enough, as Zhuge Liang predicted, there was chaos in the water village, but none of the warships came out to meet it.
Seeing this situation, a big stone in Chen Gong's heart completely fell to the ground.
He laughed and said,
"Kong Ming is really a clever plan!"
"Come on, come on, drink!"
Zhuge Liang raised his glass.
The two of them drank it all.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "whoosh" breaking the air outside.
Zhuge Liang put down his wine glass and laughed proudly,
"Did you hear that, Hua Xiong sent us arrows!"
Chen Gong couldn't help but smile.
However, before they could be triumphant, a sergeant hurried in.
"Strategist, it's not good!"
The two of them smiled stiffly, Zhuge Liang frowned,
"What's going on?"
