Borrowing Arrows from Grass Boat (Script)
Time: 13th year of Jian 'an (208 BC)
Venue: Zhouyu Military Camp
Character: Zhuge Liang (Liu Bei's strategist)
Zhou Yu (Commander-in-Chief of Soochow Army)
Lu Su (Soochow Counselor)
Cao Cao (leader of Wei State)
One day, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to consult his military adviser.
Zhou Yu, we are going to war with Cao Jun. What is the best weapon for water combat?
Zhuge Liang is best at using bows and arrows.
Zhou Yu (nodding) Yes, sir, that's what I thought. Now the army is short of arrows, and I want to ask Mr. Wang to be responsible for making 100 thousand bows and arrows. This is business. I hope Mr. Wang will not refuse.
Zhuge Liang (smiled) was of course entrusted by the governor. I wonder when these 100 thousand arrows will be used?
Did Zhou Yu succeed ten days later?
Since Zhuge Liang fought and built in ten days, he must have missed the big event.
How many days does Mr. Zhou Yu expect to be ready?
Zhuge Liang only needs three days.
Zhou Yu's military situation is urgent and can't joke.
How dare Zhuge Liang (seriously) joke with the viceroy? I am willing to give the order. If it is not built within three days, I will be punished.
Zhou Yu is very happy. After Zhuge Liang gave the order, the two men drank together again.
Zhuge Liang is too late today. From tomorrow to the third day, please send 500 soldiers to the river to get arrows. (Zhuge Liang finished, drank a few glasses of wine and left)
Lu Su's hundred thousand arrows, how to do it in three days? Is Zhuge Liang lying?
Zhou Yu said it herself. I didn't force him. His voice is much lower. ) I had to tell the military craftsmen to deliberately delay the preparation of materials for making arrows. If it can't be built by then, he will be convicted and he will have nothing to say. Ask around again and see what he has planned.
[Later, Lu Su went to see Zhuge Liang]
Zhuge Liang made 100,000 arrows in three days, so I need your help.
Lu Su, you asked for it. How can I help you?
Zhuge Liang, you lend me 20 boats, each with 30 sergeants. The boat is covered with a green curtain, and more than 1000 straw handles are arranged on both sides of the boat. I have my own wonderful use. But you can't let the governor know, otherwise. My plan is over.
[Lu Su promised him to go back to Zhou Yu, but he didn't mention borrowing the boat, saying that Zhuge Liang didn't need materials to make an arrow. ]
Zhou Yu (puzzled) on the third day, see what he does!
【 Lu Su privately took out twenty clippers and prepared them according to Zhuge Liang's words, waiting for Zhuge Liang's disposal. Finally, on the third day, Zhuge Liang invited him aboard]
Lu Su, what did you ask me to do?
Zhuge Liang invited you to fetch the arrow together.
Lu Su (wondering) where to get it?
Zhuge Liang doesn't have to ask, you will know when you go.
【 At this time, the fog filled the air, and the ship sailed to Junshui Village, with the bow facing west and the stern facing east. Dressed soldiers beat drums and shouted]
Lu Su (very surprised) What if Cao Jun comes out?
Zhuge Liang is foggy, and Cao Cao will not send troops. We just drink for fun.
[Cao Cao heard the drums shouting and ordered]
Cao Cao (puzzled): The fog on the river was heavy and the enemy suddenly attacked. We can't see the actual situation clearly, so don't go out easily. Just ask the crossbowman to shoot an arrow at them and keep them away.
[Arrows rained down on the boat, and the boat was full of arrows. Zhuge Liang told the soldiers to shout at once: Thank you for the arrow of Prime Minister Cao. After that, I returned to Soochow smoothly. Zhou Yu was very unhappy after learning]
Zhou Yu (sighs) Zhuge Liang has a clever plan. I'm really inferior to him!
