Chapter 223: Three Kingdoms: Thank you Prime Minister Cao for the gift of arrows
Li Ranran didn't expect that a "North-South List" video would be fifty minutes long.
"What a mistake, what a mistake. If I had known it would be so long, I wouldn't have clicked in... Oh, my whole evening wasted..."
Although watching this video increased her historical knowledge a little bit, Li Ranran wanted to watch TV series more during this period of time.
The next day, Li Ranran got up much earlier than usual in order to catch up on the TV series she had not had time to watch the previous night.
【Romance of the Three Kingdoms Episode 34】
[After Zhou Yu used Jiang Gan to eliminate Cao's naval commanders Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, he specifically asked Lu Su to test whether Zhuge Liang knew about this plan.
When Zhuge Liang saw Lu Su coming to him, he chatted with him for a while and suddenly congratulated him.
Zhuge Liang: "The Jiangdong navy is safe!"
Lu Su then asked: "Hey? How do you know that?"
Zhuge Liang snorted and said, "This plan can only deceive people like Jiang Gan. Although Cao Cao was deceived for a while, he will surely realize his mistake afterwards, but he just refuses to admit it... Cao Cao appointed Mao Jie and Yu Jin as the commanders of the navy. These two people are unfamiliar with naval warfare and will sooner or later cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of navy soldiers."
Lu Su looked surprised.
Zhuge Liang reminded Lu Su: "Brother Zijing, don't mention to Gongjin that I know about this... I'm afraid Gongjin will be jealous and try to harm me again."
Lu Su: "Hey? Sir, please don't worry!"
...
After Lu Su returned, he immediately told Zhou Yu about his conversation with Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu made up his mind after hearing it: "This man must not be allowed to stay! He must be executed!"
So he designed a trick to make things difficult for Zhuge Liang and ordered him to make 100,000 arrows within ten days.
Zhuge Liang knew it was a trap but still agreed, saying: "You can pay the Grand Commander in three days for the 100,000 arrows. I am willing to submit the military order. If you fail to do so within three days, I will be punished by military law."
Zhou Yu also told the military supply department that the materials needed to make arrows should be prepared for him. Zhou Yu believed that it would be impossible to make 100,000 arrows within three days.
Lu Su felt that Zhuge Liang was about to face disaster, so he said, "...I am willing to be accused of disloyalty. Within three days, I will send a warship to take you back to Xiakou."
Zhuge Liang refused: "No! How can I escape from the battlefield? How can I explain to my lord?"
He asked Lu Su for twenty boats, six hundred soldiers, drums and music, and more than a thousand straw men.
"Brother Zijing! This time, human lives are at stake! You must not let Gongjin know first. Otherwise, my plan will fail!"
Lu Su assured: "Hey, sir, don't worry!"
＜Lu Su looked at the governor in a daze: Do you care so much about Kong Ming?＞
＜Lu Su: Okay, I will definitely tell Gongjin＞
＜Lu Zijing, the man who keeps his mouth shut＞
＜Don’t let Gongjin know
Turn around and tell Gongjin＞
＜Lu Mengmeng's shocked face throughout the whole process＞
＜Zhou Gongjin was ecstatic: Hahahaha, this fellow Kong Ming is definitely going to die! ＞
＜Zhuge Kongming's arrow-making speed is comparable to modern assembly line processing＞
＜Military order? As we all know, the military order of the Three Kingdoms was only useful to Ma Su, hahahaha＞
＜In the TV series, Zhou Yu asked the quartermaster and Kong Ming to prepare everything, but in the novel, he didn’t. The adaptation is completely opposite, which is much better than the novel＞
＜The one that will be launched soon is 'Cao Wei OEM Factory'＞
＜Lu Su is really a big mouth, is he a double agent?＞
＜Hey, Lu Mengmeng is obviously a loyal person＞
＜Question: How many times did Lu Su say "Don't worry, sir"? ＞
...
Lu Su pretended to cough, and was called a big mouth by the screen comment, which made him blush. Zhou Yu looked at him, and from their eyes it could be seen that both of them were comforting each other.
It must have been written by Luo Guanzhong again!
The Second Year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
Here it comes again, another military order. Oh, what on earth is Fourth Brother doing? !
Anyone who has issued a military order has only two options: if they succeed, they can save their lives, but if they fail, they will be punished by military law...
Ma Liang had been keeping Ma Su under house arrest for some time, making him study at home.
Ma Su did not understand what was meant. He believed that no one could beat him in military strategy and that he must have made some achievements in military affairs. As for the military punishment mentioned on the screen, it must be an accident!!!
Looking at Ma Su's face full of arrogance and unwillingness to accept, Ma Liang closed his eyes and sighed, hoping that his brother had not done anything serious.
Otherwise, I should take him to ask for forgiveness from His Majesty.
...
[At night, the three-day deadline for making arrows has expired.
Lu Su followed Zhuge Liang's servant to see Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang took Lu Su's hand and walked into the cabin, where wine and food were laid out.
As Zhuge Liang drank, he asked, "If I cannot deliver a hundred thousand arrows by tomorrow, can Zijing keep me safe?"
Lu Su sighed and said, "Alas! The day before yesterday I advised you to escape, but you refused. Now I have no other choice."
Zhuge Liang pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas! It seems that this is the only way." After taking a sip of wine, he said to the servant, "It's past three o'clock in the morning. Order the boat to set sail!"
In the dark night, Zhuge Liang led the fleet filled with straw men to the north of the Yangtze River. When the boat reached the middle of the river, a thick fog rose. Lu Su sat in the cabin in confusion. When he saw the fleet sailing towards Cao's camp, he was extremely panicked.
Lu Su sat in the cabin puzzled and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"
Zhuge Liang: "On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Cao Ying Water Fortress."
Lu Su stood up in fear and said, "Ah? No! No! Are you going to put me in an unjust situation?"
Zhuge Liang: "Brother Zijing, why is this so?"
Lu Su walked anxiously in the cabin: "Sir, if you think of my sincerity towards you, I will go back to Jiangxia. Otherwise, I will go back to Sanjiangkou. I will protect you even at the risk of my life. You must not go to Cao's camp!"
Zhuge Liang did not answer, but sat in front of the zither and said, "Zi Jing, you are too kind. It seems that you are not in a good mood. How about I play a piece of zither to cheer you up?"
Lu Su said in a bad tone: "Alas! I don't want to listen to the music anymore, please send me back quickly."
Lu Su looked out the window anxiously, while Zhuge Liang began to play the guqin slowly. After seeing that Zhuge Liang was really playing the guqin, Lu Su had no choice but to stay in the boat...
When the fleet approached Cao's camp, Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers to light lamps and shout, and play drums and music.
Lu Su was even more confused and said, "The Cao army's water stronghold is right in front of us. If we expose ourselves like this, won't we just die in vain?"
Zhuge Liang smiled as usual but did not answer, playing the guqin. Lu Su could not listen any longer and held down Zhuge Liang's hand that was playing the guqin.
Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Zhou Yu was coming to attack, so he took advantage of the thick fog to ambush him and ordered his archers to shoot arrows at him.
Mao Jie, a general under his command, said, "Both the land and sea forces fired bows and crossbows at the same time, but the Wu army did not retreat but advanced instead. There must be a reason for this. We can send the navy to meet the enemy and drive back the enemy ships."
Cao Cao disagreed: "Humph! This is Zhou Yu's trick to lure the enemy. Humph! Do not move the navy. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang! Send 3,000 archers to help with the shooting."
Lu Su, who was in the cabin on the river, was shaken and fell to the ground and said, "...This arrow, this arrow is almost done, let's go back and drink this wine!"
Zhuge Liang poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Brother Zijing, why are you so panicked? The fun is yet to come!"
The fleet turned around, and Cao's archers saw that the fleet did not retreat but instead sailed forward, so they continued shooting.
When the fog dissipated at dawn, 100,000 arrows had been harvested.
The soldiers of Jiangdong shouted to the other side: "Thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for the arrows! Thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for the arrows..."
When Cao Cao heard the Jiangdong navy's "Thank you Prime Minister Cao for the arrows", he was furious. Cao Cao regretted and said, "Alas! I have fallen into a trap!"
＜Zhuge Liang: Brother Zijing, come with me to Caoying to pick up the express delivery.＞
＜Lu Su: Are you going to take me to surrender to Cao?＞
＜Wow, if that’s the case, Cao Cao would have come swimming instead of coming with his shoes turned upside down to greet me hahaha＞
＜Lu Su: Let me think about how to die with dignity when I meet Cao Cao later...＞
＜Go find Boss Cao to get gifts＞
＜Lu Su: My life is over [grievance]＞
＜Kong Ming: I know you are anxious, but please don’t be anxious＞
＜Cao Cao: Hmm... you shoot well! I want to get 100,000 arrows!!!＞
Cao Cao was suspicious. When he saw the heavy fog, he would definitely not choose to use the navy.
＜This is what they call a clever person being fooled by his own cleverness＞
＜Cao Mengde gradually becomes like Yuan Benchu [covering his face]＞
＜Ah! Mengde Rice Bowl! Cao Cao: How do I know that they are so poor that they have to come to me to borrow arrows? ? ?＞
＜Hahaha, the arrows I lent out will be returned sooner or later [dog head]＞
＜Why didn't Cao Cao use rockets at that time＞
＜Because the first time rockets were used in history was when Zhuge Liang fought Hao Zhao in Chencang＞
＜Did Sun Quan borrow arrows in history? I remember reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before, which said that Sun Quan went to spy on military intelligence, but it was not at Red Cliff＞
[Emperor Cao Cao: ...Hmm...]
[Zhuge Liang in the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: [Meditating]]
[Sun Ce, the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: How brave!]
[Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han: This is why the novel is more attractive]
[Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao: Express delivery refers to the 100,000 arrows, and the number one on the list refers to Cao Cao... Why is this relationship a bit strange...]
[Emperor Sun Quan of Wu: Oh, you are talking about the Battle of Ruxukou]
[Sun Ce in the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Oh, are you still fighting Hefei?]
[Emperor Sun Quan of Wu: Alas, yes...]
...
Eastern Han Dynasty, the fifth year of Jian'an
"Hahaha, I have to watch carefully how this handsome Zhou Gongjin defeats our army!"
Cao Cao guessed at the beginning of the video what strategy Zhuge Liang would use this time.
The beginning of the video mentioned borrowing arrows with a straw boat, so the person borrowed and showed his own arrows.
"Since it is fictional, there is no need to worry too much. Luo Guanzhong highly praised Zhuge Kongming and loved him very much..."
After saying this, he sighed in his heart, alas, why didn't people in later generations praise his novels?
"My lord, the people in Jiangdong must hate Luo Guanzhong to death." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Alas, Sun Ce is brave, but he is not Sun Quan's child. The situation in Jiangdong is unclear." Cao Cao shook his head.
"Sun Ce's personality makes him so, so he is nothing to be feared. But we need to pay special attention to the handsome Zhou Yu who is frequently praised by the commentators on the screen." Guo Jia was obviously more interested in Zhou Yu.
