At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Yang Pei named Kong Qu, who was our envoy in Xinzheng. When Cao Cao passed Xinzheng, the troops were short of food. Yang Pei helped Cao Cao, so he was deeply loved by Cao Cao. With the assistance of Cao Cao, Yang Pei was promoted to long-term social order. He is not afraid of strongmen, no matter who breaks the law, he must be punished according to law and won the praise of Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao went to war, he heard that the public security in Yecheng was too chaotic, so he wrote a letter to choose a Yecheng order, and the selection standard was to have the courage and level of Yang Pei. Choose to choose, there is no suitable, so it was named Yecheng Order (then called Jing). Before Yang Pei took office, Cao Cao summoned him and asked him how to manage his power. Yang Pei replied: "I will do my best to publicize the law and discipline, so that everyone can abide by the law." Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this and said to the people around him, "Did you hear that? This is a respectable person. " Before Yang Pei officially took office, some powerful landlords and members of the royal family heard that Yang Pei was coming to Yecheng, and they all warned their children to behave.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led 800,000 troops to conquer Wu Dong. Sun Quan and Liu Bei planned to jointly attack Wei. There was a general named Zhou Yu under Sun Quan, who was clever and brave, but narrow-minded and jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. Because the water war needs arrows, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to build 100 thousand arrows in ten days, but Zhuge Liang only needed three days, and he was willing to issue a military order, and he was willing to be punished if he failed to complete the task. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible to build 100,000 arrows in three days, and he just took this opportunity to get rid of Zhuge Liang. So on the one hand, he told military craftsmen not to prepare all the materials for making arrows, and on the other hand, he told minister Lu Su to inquire about Zhuge Liang's reality.
Lu Su met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said, "Please help me with this. I hope you can lend me 20 boats, each with 30 soldiers. The ship should be covered with green curtains, and more than 1000 grass targets should be arranged on both sides of the ship. However, this matter must not be known to your governor, otherwise it will not work. " Lu Su reported to Zhou Yu that there was no need to prepare materials, and he made no mention of Zhuge Liang's plan. Two days passed and nothing happened. Zhou Yu thought: He must not build it well. On the third day, at four o'clock, Zhuge Liang secretly asked Lu Su to board the boat together, saying that they would go to get the arrow together. Zhuge Liang ordered the ropes on the ship to be connected and rushed to the other side. [2]
The idiom story "Grass Boat Borrows Arrows" cartoon The river was foggy that day, and there was no one on the opposite side. When the boat approached the water village in Cao Jun, Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to be set aside and let the soldiers beat drums and shout. Thinking that the other side was coming to attack, Cao Cao was afraid of being ambushed in the fog, so he sent 6 thousand archers from the drought village to shoot arrows into the river, and the arrows rained down on the grass target. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to turn around and let the other side get an arrow. When the sun comes out, the fog will disperse. Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to return quickly. At this time, the wind was smooth, and it was too late for Cao Cao to chase. At this time, the grass targets on both sides of the ship were densely covered with arrows, and there were at least five or six thousand on each ship, a total of 20 ships, with a total of far more than 100 thousand. When Lu Su told Zhou Yu the story of borrowing an arrow, Zhou Yu sighed, "Zhuge Liang has a clever plan, but I am not as good as him.
