borrow arrows with thatched boats

It is a story of the battle of Chibi in the romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was deliberately proposed by Zhou Yu to borrow an arrow (limited to ten days to build 100000 arrows). The witty Zhuge Liang saw that it was a harmful plan at a glance, but calmly said that it only took three days. Later, with the help of Lu Su, Zhuge Liang took advantage of Cao Cao's suspicious character, transferred several straw boats to lure the enemy, and finally borrowed more than 100000 arrows.

The romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Lu Su led Zhou Yu's speech and came to the boat to explore Kong Ming. Kong Ming joined the boat and sat opposite. Su said, "it's not right to listen to the teacher when we take measures to run military affairs for several days." Kong Ming said, "even Liang did not celebrate with the governor." Su said: "how happy?" Kong Ming said, "Mr. Gongjin, I don't know if I have come to find out. It's this matter that I'm glad to hear." Chen got Lu Su pale and asked, "why do you know that, sir?" Kong Ming said, "this plan has to be dealt with by Jiang Gan. Although Cao Cao was deceived for a while, he must have realized, but he refused to admit his mistake. Now that CAI and Zhang are dead, there is no danger in Jiangdong. How can we not be happy! When I heard that Cao Cao had replaced Mao Xun and Yu Jin as the commander of the water army, these two hands somehow gave the life of the water army. " Lu Su listened and could not speak. He faltered some words for a long time and did not return to Kongming. Kong Ming asked, "wangzijing, don't talk about the prophet in front of Gongjin. I'm afraid Gongjin will be jealous and will find something to harm Liang. " Lu Su went back to see Zhou Yu and had to tell the truth. Yu was shocked and said, "this man must not stay! I'm determined to cut it Su advised: "if you kill Kong Ming, you will be laughed by Cao Cao." Yu said, "I will cut him fairly and teach him to die without complaint." Su said: "how to cut it fairly?" Yu said, "Zi Jingxiu, I'll see you in the future." On the next day, (Zhou Yu) gathered under the tent and asked Kong Ming to discuss the matter. Kong Ming arrived happily. When he sat down, Yu asked Kong Ming, "what weapons should be the first to fight Cao's army by water?" Kong Ming said, "on the great river, bow and arrow are the first." Yu said, "what you said is very stupid. However, there is a shortage of arrows in the army today. Mr. Daren fan supervised the manufacture of 100000 arrows, thinking that they were the tools to meet the enemy. It's a business, sir. Please don't refuse. " Kong Ming said, "when the governor sees the committee, he should serve himself. When will you use 100000 arrows? " Yu said, "can it be finished in ten days?" Kongming said, "Cao's army is coming. If we wait for ten days, we will miss a major event." Yu said, "how many days do you expect to finish it?" Kong Ming said, "in only three days, you can accept 100000 arrows." Yu said, "there is no joke in the army." Kong Ming said, "how dare you play the governor! I wish to accept the military order: if we do not handle it for three days, we will be willing to impose heavy punishment. " Zhou Yu was overjoyed. He called the Chief Secretary of the army to take the documents face to face and gave them wine to treat each other. He said, "when the military is finished, there will be rewards." Kong Ming said, "today is not enough, and tomorrow will be built.". On the third day, you can send 500 small troops to the riverside to carry arrows. " After a few drinks, I quit. Lu Su said, "is this man deceitful?" Yu said, "he will die. I will not force him. Now that he knew that he had asked for the documents, he could not fly away. I will only give to the craftsmen and others, that they may delay deliberately, and that they may not be complete in the use of all things. In this way, the date must be missed. What is the reason for conviction at that time? Today, Gong can go to find out the truth and falsehood of him, but he will repay him. " Su took orders to see Kong Ming. Kong Ming said, "I once told Gong Jin that he would harm me. I don't want Zijing to keep a secret for me. Today, something happened again. How to build 100000 arrows in three days? Zijing had to save me Su said, "how can I save you if the Duke takes his own trouble?" Kong Ming said, "wangzijing borrowed 20 boats from me, each of which had 30 soldiers. They were all covered with green cloth, with more than 1000 bunches of grass on each side. I don't have a magic effect. On the third day, there were 100000 arrows. Only don't teach Gongjin to know. If he knows it, my plan will be defeated. " Su promised, but he didn't understand what he meant. He told Zhou Yu that he didn't mention borrowing the boat. He just said, "Kong Ming doesn't use bamboo arrows, feathers, lacquer and other things. He has his own reason." Yu said suspiciously, "let's see how he will reply to me in three days." Lu Su, however, said that he privately allocated 20 light speedboats, each with more than 30 people, and cloth curtains and bundles of grass. They were all ready for Kongming to call. On the first day, there was no movement of Kong Ming; on the second day, there was no movement. At four o'clock on the third day, Kong mingmi asked Lu Su to get in the boat. Su asked, "what's the meaning of calling me here?" Kong Ming said, "I'd like to invite Zi Jing to take the arrow with me." Su said, "where can I get it?" Kong Ming said, "Zi Jingxiu asked. I'll see you when I go." Then he ordered twenty ships to be connected by long ropes and set out on the north bank. It's foggy at night. In the middle of the Yangtze River, the fog is even worse. We don't see each other on the other side. Kong Ming pushed the boat forward. It was a good fog! Predecessors have a piece of Fu on misty River, saying: "great Yangtze River! It connects min and E in the west, controls Sanwu in the South and Jiuhe in the north. The river flows into the sea, and the waves are lifted through the ages. To Ruo Longbo, Hairuo, Jiangfei, jellyfish, long whale Qianzhang, tianwu nine, strange ghosts, salty set. Gaffe is the base of ghosts and gods, and the base of heroes. Time and Yin and yang are in disorder, and there is no distinction between them. Surprised at the color of the sky, suddenly fog four villages. Although the public pay and do not see, but the golden drum can be heard. At the beginning, if Ming and Meng, they were able to hide the leopard in Nanshan; gradually, they were full and wanted to be fascinated by Kun in Beihai. Then the sky is high and the ground is thick; it is vast and boundless. The whale salamander leaps out of the water, while the Dragon dives into the abyss and exhales. Another example is Mei Lin's harvest, spring Yin's brewing cold, and Ming Ming's indifference and vastness. In the East is the shore of Chaisang, in the south is the mountain of Xiakou. Thousands of warships have fallen into the ravines, while a single leaf of fishing boats has been startled by the waves. Even if there is no light in the sky, the rising sun will lose its color; when it returns to day, it will turn yellow, and the Danshan mountain will turn blue. Although Dayu's wisdom can't be measured, how can he be close to Lou Zhiming? So Feng Yi stopped the waves and finished his work by holding the screen; fish and turtles fled, birds and animals lurked. Cut off the island of Penglai and encircle the closed palace. Trance Pentium, such as the approach of rain; miscellaneous, such as cold clouds with the desire. It can hide the poisonous snake, which is called miasma; it contains demons, which is called disaster. It can bring down disease and misfortune in the world, and bring up wind and dust outside the Great Wall. The young people are hurt when they meet with each other, and the adults are filled with emotion. Gai will return to his original strength in the flood and wasteland, mixing heaven and earth into a big piece. " At five o'clock that night, the boat was near Cao Cao's water stronghold. The Confucianists spread out the ships from the west to the East, beating drums and shouting. Lu Su was surprised and said, "if Cao's soldiers come out together, what can they do?" Kong Ming said with a smile: "I expect that Cao Cao will not dare to come out in the heavy fog. We only drink wine for fun, and we will return when the fog is over. But he said that when he heard the drum beating and shouting in Cao Zhaizhong, Mao fan and Yu Jin rushed to report to Cao Cao. Cao's Herald said, "the heavy fog is lost in the river. When the army suddenly arrives, there must be an ambush. Don't move lightly. You can use the bow and crossbow of the water army to shoot at random. " They also sent people to the village to call Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to bring three thousand crossbow troops to the riverside to help fire. When the order came, maoyao and Yujin were afraid that the southern army would invade the water stronghold, so they had sent bow and crossbow men to shoot their arrows in front of the stronghold. In Shaoqing, the bow and crossbow men in Hanzhai also arrived, and more than 10000 people all shot their arrows into the river. The Kongming sect hoisted the boat back and approached the water stronghold to receive the arrow, beating the drum and shouting. When the sun was high and the fog dispersed, Kongming ordered the ship to return quickly. Twenty boats were lined with arrows on the grass on both sides. Kongming ordered all the officers on board to shout in unison: "thank you, prime minister, for your arrow!" When Cao Cao was reported to the village, the boat here was light and the water was fast. It had been put back more than 20 Li and could not catch up with him. Cao Cao was remorseful. But Lu Su said that Kong Ming returned to the ship and said, "there are about five or six thousand arrows on each ship. With half the effort of Jiangdong, we have gained more than 100000 arrows. Tomorrow is about to shoot Cao Jun, but it's not very convenient! " Su said: "Mr. true God and man! How do you know it's so foggy today? " Kongming said: "for the sake of generals, they don't know astronomy, geography, strange gate, yin and Yang, array map and military potential. They are mediocre. Liang decided three days ago that there would be heavy fog today, so he dared to accept the three-day limit. Gongjin taught me to finish the work in ten days, but the craftsmen didn't know what to do. He told me that he wanted to kill me. My life depends on heaven. How can Gong Jin harm me Lu Su bowed to him. When the boat arrived at the shore, Zhou Yu had sent 500 troops to wait by the river for the arrow. If Kong Mingjiao took it from the ship, he could get more than 100000 branches, which were all transferred to the Chinese Army account. When Lu Su saw Zhou Yu, he was prepared to talk about Kong Ming's taking the arrow. Yu was so surprised that he sighed with emotion: "I'm not as good as Kong Ming's clever calculation." There is a poem praising later generations: "one day, the Yangtze River was covered with thick fog, and it was difficult to divide the water far and near. The torrential rain brought locusts to the warship. Today, Kong Ming was subdued by Zhou Lang In Shaoqing, Kong Ming came to see Zhou Yu. Yu went down to meet him. He said with admiration, "my husband is so clever that he makes people admire him." Kong Ming said, "it's not surprising that there are so many treacherous schemes." Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 100000 arrows within 10 days, but Zhuge Liang said unexpectedly, "Cao Cao's army is coming. If it is waiting for 10 days, it will miss a big event." "It only takes three days to complete the rehabilitation," he says On hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately made a military order with Zhuge Liang. In Zhou Yu's opinion, Zhuge Liang could not build 100000 arrows in three days, so he would die. After Zhuge Liang left, Zhou Yu asked Lu Su to go to Zhuge Liang's place to check the news and inquire about the reality. As soon as Zhuge Liang saw Lu Su, he said, "how can I make 100000 arrows in three days? I hope he can save me!" the honest and kind Lu Su replied, "you've made trouble for yourself. How can I save you?" ZHUGE Liang said, "I only hope you can lend me 20 boats, each of which is equipped with 30 soldiers. The boats are all covered with green cloth, and each bundle of grass has more than 1000 pieces, standing on both sides of the boat. I'll have a wonderful use for all this. On the third day, I'll guarantee that there will be 100000 arrows. But there is one thing that you must not let Zhou Yu know. If he knows, he will certainly block it, and my plan will be very difficult to realize. " Although Lu Su agreed to Zhuge Liang's request, he did not understand Zhuge Liang's meaning. When he saw Zhou Yu, he did not talk about borrowing the boat. He only said that Zhuge Liang was not prepared to make arrows
