Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Zhou Yu admired Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang also admired Zhou Yu in his heart.Zhuge Liang also said in his heart that the governor of Soochow Wu is not simple, and the two of us will work together to break Qin.

As the saying goes, if you meet a bosom friend, you will drink less than a thousand cups, but if you don't speculate, you will spend more than half a sentence.Once Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu met, it was as if they met confidants.The two chatted from noon until dark, and Zhuge Jin was listening, almost dozing off.

Zhuge Jin looked outside, it was almost dark.Then Zhuge Jin said to Zhou Yu: "Commander, I still have to meet King Wu, why don't I have something to say, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

As soon as Zhuge Jin said this, Zhou Yu realized that it was already dark now.The soldiers who delivered the food came several times, seeing Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang chatting enthusiastically, they didn't dare to interrupt them.

"You two, why don't you stay in my camp for one night?" Zhou Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jin quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't stop, I can't stop."

Zhuge Jin thought to himself, what you said is not enough, if you stay here, you may not even think about leaving for three days.Seeing that the departure date was approaching, the King of Wu was still waiting in Moling, and he didn't dare to waste time.

Brother Zhuge got up and was about to say goodbye. Zhuge Liang took out an object from his bosom and said to Zhou Yu, "Commander, arrows are the best in water warfare. This is a chain crossbow designed by me, and I can send military craftsmen to make it."

It doesn't matter if Zhou Yu doesn't look at the drawing of the chain crossbow, once he sees the drawing.Zhou Yu thought to himself, this Zhuge Liang is a thousand times better than me.I, Zhou Gongjin, are nothing more than proficient in military law and strategy, but Zhuge Liang knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom.Zhuge Liang also understands the study of Gewu.

This makes me, Zhou Gongjin, how can I compare. It is my great fortune to have such a talent as Soochow.

Zhuge Jin hurried back to return to Wu Wang Sun Jian, and took Zhuge Jin away from Zhou Yu's water village.As soon as Brother Zhuge left, Zhou Yu began to carefully examine the blueprint in his hand.

The more Zhou Yu looked at it, the more he felt the ingenious design of this bow and crossbow, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he was.With the crossbow designed by Zhuge Liang, he can shoot ten arrows in a row, and there is no need to draw a bow and set an arrow in the middle, just need to pull the trigger continuously.

"Bo Yan, Boyan." Zhou Yu called out to the big tent.

Lu Xun sent Zhuge brothers out of the water village, and just came back when he heard Zhou Yu calling his name, so he hurried into the camp.

"Captain, what are your orders?" Lu Xun asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu handed the crossbow map in his hand to Lu Xun, and said: "Go and tell the military craftsmen in the camp to build this crossbow day and night."

Lu Xun knotted Zhou Yu's hand and took the crossbow picture, and he saw that this crossbow was really extraordinary.

"Captain, this crossbow is very ingenious, what is its name?" Lu Xun asked Zhou Yu.

Lu Xun asked Zhou Yu what the name of the crossbow was, but Zhou Yu didn't know either.When Zhuge Liang sent him the crossbow diagram just now, Zhou Yu patronized and lamented the ingenious design of this crossbow.Before he had time to ask Zhuge Liang the name of the crossbow, Zhuge Jin took Zhuge Liang to leave.

Zhou Yu thought to himself, since Zhuge Liang didn't say what the name of the crossbow is, I might as well give it a name.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun: "This crossbow is a gift from Mr. Zhuge, how about calling it Zhuge Liannu?"

"Zhuge Liannu, Zhuge Liannu."

"The governor came up with a good name." Lu Xun agreed.

This Zhuge Liannu is actually not a good name. This crossbow is a Lianfa crossbow, so it is naturally called Liannu. Zhuge is Zhuge Liang's surname.From this point of view, can this Zhuge Liannu be considered a good name?Zhou Yu just said this casually, and Lu Xun gave Zhou Yu a little beard.

It can be seen from this that this is flattering the leaders, which is also a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation.

"Okay, Boyan, quickly let the craftsmen in our camp make this crossbow." Zhou Yu ordered one after another.

Water warfare is no different than land warfare, and there are countless ways to kill the enemy in land warfare.But in this water battle, there are few ways to kill the enemy.Bows and arrows can be said to be the most effective among them. In water warfare, bows and crossbows are the first.

Every time an ordinary bow and crossbow shoots an arrow, it has to be redrawn and nocked.But the Zhuge Liannu designed by Zhuge Liang can fire ten arrows in a row.In this way, it can be said that the long-range firepower of the Wu Jun Navy has been greatly enhanced.

Lu Xun got Zhou Yu's order and took the crossbow map to the craftsman camp.After a short time, they returned from the artisan camp one after another.

"Bo Yan, have you ordered the matter?" Seeing Lu Xun come back, Zhou Yu asked.

"Great Governor, I have already given orders, but" Lu Xun seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing Lu Xun's constipated face, Zhou Yu knew that he must have something to say.So he said to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Lu Xun looked at Zhou Yu, and then said: "Commander, the power of this Zhuge Liannu is quite good. However, the arrows it consumes are far better than our usual crossbows. The crossbows we have in stock cannot withstand such consumption. .”

There is nothing wrong with what they said one after another. Their original ordinary crossbow arrows can shoot one arrow with three breaths, but now they can shoot one arrow with one breath. The consumption of this crossbow arrow has directly increased several times. It has increased several times.

You know, this water battle is not as good as on land.The arrows can be recovered in land battles, but in water battles, the arrows can all be shot into the water.The arrows for the water battle are consumables, and one shot will lose one.

Zhou Yu actually thought of the question Lu Xun mentioned.But you can't say that because you are worried about the consumption of arrows, you don't use powerful weapons.

"Continue to search for craftsmen, and work hard day and night to build it."

"Now the war is the priority, and there are not enough military craftsmen, let the rear continue to find folk craftsmen for us." Zhou Yu instructed Lu Xun.

Chapter 315 Soldiers Arriving at Fankou

Xuzhou, Weishan County.

After Li Chenwo "rested" at home for two months, his health finally improved.Li Chen's health is just right, and he will immediately organize the army to prepare for war and send troops to Soochow.

Li Chen started with a total of 30 troops on the waterway, and claimed to be a 70 army to the outside world, officially marching into Soochow.

The Qin Army Navy has a total of ten fleets, and the main ship of each fleet is a huge chasing boat or a three-rail gunboat.Surrounding each main ship, there are many various small boats escorting them.

Soochow is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are two major water systems, the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, as natural barriers.In the previous life, among the Wei, Shu and Wu, this Wu had the longest support.After the Jin Dynasty won the world, it defeated Soochow.

As the saying goes, if you want to defeat magic, you can only use magic.Similarly, if you want to defeat the navy, you can only use the navy.In order to defeat Soochow, Li Chen deliberately built a cross-age navy.

In this battle, Li Chen is sure to win. Compared with the navy, how can Soochow compare with Li Chen's navy.It can be said that Li Chen's navy is more than an era ahead of the Soochow navy.Ships equipped with artillery can beat the navy of Soochow into a drowned Erha.

Three days later, Fankou.

Under the command of Zheng Chenggong, the Qin Army's navy sailed directly to the waters of Fankou. Thirty miles ahead, there were nine water villages owned by Zhou Yu, the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

This is Li Chen's 30 water army. The water army goes first, and the army can only watch from the shore.The army had to wait for the victory of the water army before the army could go ashore and attack the city.

After Zheng Chenggong drove the navy to Fankou, he did not directly attack Zhou Yu's water village. Zheng Chenggong was waiting for a fighter opportunity. What Zheng Chenggong wanted was when the Soochow navy gathered in Fankou. At that time, he would destroy the entire Soochow navy in one battle.

Fankou, Daying of Eastern Wu.

"Governor, the Qin army is deceiving people too much. They even parked less than [-] miles away from us. This is completely contemptuous of our Dongwu navy." Lu Xun said to Zhou Yu indignantly.

Seeing Lu Xun's anxious look, Zhou Yu was still calm and breezy.Zhou Yu asked Lu Xun, "Did you see Qin's ships?"

Lu Xun nodded and said, "I see."

"How about Qin's ships?" Zhou Yu continued to ask Lu Xun.

"Big, very big. The ten main ships in front are several times larger than our largest building ship."

"However, they don't have many ships, only about [-] ships. We have thousands of ships in Soochow. Our army will surely win this battle." Lu Xun said to Zhou Yu confidently.

There was no artillery during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Artillery was only invented in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, Lu Xun didn't know what artillery was, nor did he know that he was in front of a giant ship equipped with artillery.Quantity is not an advantage at all.

"Trust, keep on trusting."

"As long as the Qin army doesn't take the initiative to attack, we will stick to the water fortress. After a few days, the camp will have enough arrows, and it won't be too late for us to take the initiative to attack." Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun.

Since Zhuge Liang sent the serial crossbow last time, the Zhuge Liannu was made well, but Wu Jun's arrow reserves were insufficient. These days, the military craftsmen in the camp were in a hurry and did not dare to delay for a moment.

At this moment, a soldier came to report from outside the tent: "Great Governor, Mr. Zhuge has arrived."

"What, Mr. Zhuge is here. Boyan, quickly follow me to meet you." Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun.

Since Zhuge Liang entered Soochow, it can be said that he has managed the rear of Soochow in an orderly manner.It stands to reason that if there is a war in the front, the rear should look a little chaotic.But since Zhuge Liang came, the rear has become more and more prosperous.

After Zhuge Liang came to Soochow, King Sun Jian of Wu praised him again and again.It is said that Zhuge Liang is Wolong, and they are facing the water in Dongwu, so this is the dragon entering the river, how can this not be prosperous.

Zhou Yu took Lu Xun to meet Zhuge Liang, and when they reached the shore, Zhuge Liang just got off the boat.

"Mr. Zhuge, now that the war is approaching, why are you here?" Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang showed an inscrutable smile on his face, and he said to Zhou Yu: "I see the governor, and I have something troubling in my heart."

Does Zhou Yu have anything to worry about?He does.Now, Zhou Yu wanted to fight Qin Jun, but he was unable to fight due to lack of bows and arrows. How could Zhou Yu not be bothered by this.

Zhou Yu thought, Mr. Zhuge, can he read minds?Why, he also knows what I think.

Zhuge Liang naturally doesn't know how to read minds, but since Zhuge Liang gave Zhou Yu the Zhuge Liannu.Zhuge Liang knew that Zhou Yu's bow and arrows must be insufficient this time, so he wanted to help Zhou Yu get the arrows early.

"Hey, yes, I have something on my mind." Zhou Yu said frankly to Zhuge Liang.

"Hey, why don't you let me guess what's on the governor's mind?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Mr. Zhuge, why don't you take a guess?" Zhou Yu said.

Zhuge Liang smiled at Zhou Yu, shook the goose feather fan in his hand, and said to Zhou Yu: "The governor is worried about the lack of arrows."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was surprised at first, and then delighted.Immediately asked Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Zhuge is really a god, do you have a way?"

"So, how about preparing [-] arrows for the governor within three days?" Zhuge Liang said to Zhou Yu confidently.

"Within three days, prepare [-] arrows, how can this be made?" Zhou Yu asked in amazement.

To make an arrow, you have to make the arrowhead, and to make the arrow, you have to make the feathers.If there are [-] arrows, according to Soochow's current production capacity, it will take half a month even if they work day and night without sleep.

Making [-] arrows within three days, not to mention that the craftsmen couldn't stand it, even the materials for making arrows may not be fully prepared.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Zhou Yu, "Hey, Governor, I don't want to make arrows, I want to borrow arrows."

Zhou Yu was even more confused when he heard that Zhuge Liang wanted to borrow arrows.Borrowing arrows, who can I borrow from?Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei.Now they are also fighting, and this arrow is also in short supply.Regardless of whether they are willing to borrow or not, even if they want to borrow, this will not quench their thirst.When their arrows arrive, this will not be the Year of the Monkey.

"Borrowing arrows, who can I ask to borrow arrows, and I can't deliver them in three days?" Lu Xun couldn't help asking.

"We don't want to borrow the ones that are far away, so let's borrow them from Qin Jun on the opposite side." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, waving a goose feather fan.

Lu Xun thought, Mr. Zhuge is probably stupid.Qin Jun borrowed arrows early, we are opponents now, can they lend us arrows?Lend us arrows and let us shoot them.Qin Jun, can't he be all fools?

Zhuge Liang's words made Zhou Yu and Lu Xun confused.

Chapter 316 Zhuge Liang's Ingenious Plan

Zhuge Liang guessed what Zhou Yu was thinking, and told Zhou Yu that he was going to borrow [-] arrows from the Qin army on the opposite side.As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Zhou Yu thought to himself, why are you still talking in your sleep in broad daylight?How could the Qin army on the opposite side lend us arrows.

"Mr. Zhuge, how do you borrow this arrow?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said to Zhou Yu: "If the method of borrowing arrows is explained, it will not be effective. Borrowing things must pay attention to the right time, place and people. I counted, and the time to borrow arrows should be within one or two days. That's it. When it's time to borrow the arrow, I'll send someone to inform Dudu, how about the Dudu go with me to get the arrow?"

Once Zhuge Liang said this, Zhou Yu couldn't ask more questions.Zhou Yu thought in his heart, good guy, you're still playing tricks on me.Borrowing things requires the right time, place, and people. I think stealing things depends on the right time, place, and people.If the time is wrong for stealing things, if you are caught by the hostess, your leg will be broken.

What is the weather that Zhuge Liang is waiting for? It is a foggy weather.He didn't have a weather forecast at that time, but Zhuge Liang couldn't be bothered.Zhuge Liang knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and he knows everything here and there.From the current temperature and wind direction during the day, Zhuge Liang deduced that there must be a foggy day in these two days.

Needless to say, this Zhuge Kongming is simply more accurate than the weather forecast.Sure enough, as he expected, when the sky just got dark, the night mist really fell.Moreover, the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and at midnight, the entire river surface could not be seen.

"Come here, hurry up and ask the governor to come over." Zhuge Liang said to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers guarding the door got Zhuge Liang's order and immediately went to invite Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu had already fallen asleep here, and heard that Zhuge Liang invited him over.I thought to myself, could it be that Mr. Kong Ming said that the time has come.

After Zhou Yu put on his clothes, he opened the curtain of the tent and looked at the thick fog outside.Zhou Yu thought to himself, the weather that Mr. Kong Ming mentioned is the foggy weather.

Fankou is by the river, and it is common for the river to get foggy, but such a heavy fog is really uncommon.Today, the fog is simply too big, just looking at each other face to face, it is all foggy and hazy.

When Zhou Yu came to Zhuge Liang's tent, Zhuge Liang had been waiting in the tent for a long time.Seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu immediately asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, but the time has come."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said with a smug smile, "That's right, the time has come, and I can borrow one hundred thousand arrows from the Qin army tonight."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's heart itched even more.Zhou Yu thought to himself, it is true that this foggy day is suitable for stealing things, if you take it and run away, no one will see it.But what do you mean by borrowing something on a foggy day?

"Mr. Kong Ming, what is your plan? I'm so anxious." Zhou Yu said eagerly to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang didn't hold back anymore at this time, he said to Zhou Yu: "Great Governor, let me ask you, if there is another boat coming from the river now, how should you deal with it?"

When Zhuge Liang asked this, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's foggy now, so don't rush into battle. If there are enemy ships approaching, you should shoot them with bows and arrows."

"Ha ha!"

"Yes, we know that we should shoot with bows and arrows, and the enemy should also shoot with bows and arrows."

"So I plan to prepare dozens of fast boats and fill the boat with scarecrows. Let's take these dozens of fast boats and go around the enemy fleet. When we come back, aren't these fast boats full of people? Ship?" After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu with a smile.

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhou Yu's body shook involuntarily.

"The straw boat borrowed arrows?"

"Wonderful, wonderful plan."

"Mr. Zhuge, are you really a god?" Zhou Yu was shocked.

Although Zhuge Liang's method is not difficult to say, it is not easy to think of this method.

Zhou Yu thought, this Zhuge Liang is really powerful.Sure enough, there are only wrong names and no wrong nicknames, and the crouching dragon and phoenix will be able to secure the world if they get one.This Mr. Wolong is really well-deserved of his reputation. Compared with Zhuge Liang, I, Zhou Yu, are really one in the sky and one in the ground, the difference between cloud and mud.

"The Commander's reputation is too high. Please also prepare [-] fast boats for me, as well as some ropes and straw. In addition, I will put some good boatmen on these boats." Zhuge Liang said to Zhou Yu.

"Okay, I'll prepare here." Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang.

Among Zhou Yu's water fortresses, whoever is the best at playing with small boats is naturally Jinfan thief Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.At the beginning, when he roared the Yellow River, on both sides of the Huaihe River, he relied on the brocade sailing boat.These brocade sailing boats are small boats and fast boats, just in line with Zhuge Liang's request.

Zhou Yu summoned Gan Ning and some skilled craftsmen.In Zhou Yu's water village, there happened to be craftsmen who weaved rattan cards for rattan players. With these craftsmen, it was no problem to make some scarecrows.
