What was Zhuge Liang thinking before the grass boat borrowed an arrow?

After Zhuge Liang left, Zhou Yu sent Lu Su to see Zhuge Liang to check the movement and find out the truth. As soon as Zhuge Liang saw Lu Su, he said, "How can 654.38 million arrows be made in three days? Still hope to help me! " Lu Su, who is kind and honest, replied, "You are asking for trouble. How can I save you?" Zhuge Liang said, "I only hope you can lend me 20 boats, each with 30 soldiers." All the boats are covered with green cloth, and there are more than 1000 boats on both sides of each sokcho boat. All this, I have my own wonderful use. On the third day, there will be 654.38 million arrows. But there is one thing you must not let Zhou Yu know. If he knows, he will definitely get in the way, and my plan will be difficult to achieve. " Although Lu Su agreed to Zhuge Liang's request, he did not understand Zhuge Liang's meaning. After Zhou Yu saw it, he didn't talk about borrowing the boat, but said that Zhuge Liang was not going to make bamboo, feathers, glue paint and other items for arrows. Zhou Yu was puzzled after listening.

After Zhuge Liang borrowed ships and ranks from Lu Su, he was ready to sail as planned. But Zhuge Liang did not move for two days in a row. It was not until four o'clock on the third night that he secretly invited Lu Su to the boat and told him to get the arrow. Lu Su asked inexplicably, "Where can I get it?" Zhuge Liang replied, "Amethyst doesn't need to ask, just ask." Lu Su was puzzled and had to accompany Zhuge Liang to see what had happened.

That night, the vast river was foggy and dark. Zhuge Liang had 20 boats tied together with long ropes and moored in the camp of Cao Jun on the north bank. By the fifth watch, the fleet was close to Cao Cao's water village. At this time, Zhuge Liang taught his soldiers to put the bow in the west and the stern in the east, horizontally in front of Cao. Then, he ordered the foot soldiers to drum and shout, deliberately creating a momentum of drum invasion. Lu Su was surprised at this scene, but Zhuge Liang told him frankly from the heart: "I knew that Cao Cao would never dare to rush into battle in this foggy night." You and I can drink as much as we like, and when the fog clears, we will come back. "

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was really worried about the fog, and he was ambushed, so he refused to go to war easily. He drove 6000 archers from the drought village to the river, and together with the water army archers, * * * about 1000 people, shot indiscriminately at the river in an attempt to stop the "Sun Liu Lian Jun" who beat drums and called for battle. For a time, the arrow was like a migratory locust, shooting at the straw handle and curtain on the boat in the middle of the river. After a while, Zhuge Liang calmly ordered the fleet to turn around, head east and tail west, get an arrow near the water village, and let the foot soldiers beat drums and shout. When the fog cleared at sunrise, all the stalks on the boat were densely covered with arrows. At this point, Zhuge Liang ordered the fleet to turn around and return. He also ordered all the foot soldiers to shout loudly: "Thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for the arrow!" " When Cao Cao learned the truth, Zhuge Liang's arrow team had left more than 20 miles, and Cao Jun could not catch up. Cao Cao regretted it.

After the fleet returned to camp, * * * got more than 65438+ ten thousand arrows, which lasted only three days. Lu Su witnessed it and called Zhuge Aliang a "man of God". Zhuge Liang told Lu Su that he was not only familiar with astronomy and geography, but also with strange Yin and Yang. It is expected that there will be heavy fog three days ago, which is conducive to the deployment and military situation in the Long March. He finally said, "My life depends on the sky. How can Duke Zhou hurt me! " When Zhou Yu learned all this, he was shocked and sighed.
