The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 249: Make arrows within three days?

Since Zhou Yu had invited him, Lu Su naturally did not dare to neglect him.

Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, arrived late.

Let the two of them wait in the tent for a while.

This is not because Zhuge Liang intentionally left Zhou Yu out in the cold.

Instead, the other party met with his master Liu Bei privately without saying a word.

He asked to borrow troops without even saying hello to him.

This caught Zhuge Liang off guard!

As a representative sent by Liu Bei.

He has been very busy these days trying to settle the 30,000 troops.

Fortunately, he is not a petty person.

Knowing that they are now facing a powerful enemy, the right thing for the two families to do is to work together.

And ever since the two armies joined forces.

Zhou Yu really lived up to everyone's expectations.

We won a small victory in a battle a few days ago, and now the whole army’s momentum is superior to that of Jingzhou!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang secretly admired it in his heart.

Zhou Yu was indeed good at naval warfare.

As long as they advance steadily and cautiously, they will definitely be the ones who have the last laugh in this battle.

So he entered the central army tent.

Zhuge Liang also had a smile on his face and walked forward and said:
"Commander-in-Chief Zhou has a good command of the army, and our army has won victory after victory."

"Liang is now convinced."

"I wonder why the governor called me here today?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu also glanced at Zhuge Liang.

Then he threw down the bamboo slips in his hand and said:
"The gentleman is finally here!"

"I asked you to come here today to discuss important military matters."

"Now that the two families have united, I, Jiangdong, have brought 30,000 troops."

"Your envoy Liu has also sent 30,000 men."

"The daily consumption of food and supplies for an army of 60,000 is not a small amount."

"The situation in the rear of Jiangdong is a bit tight right now."

"The supply of food, fodder and weapons is already stretched to the limit."

"I will not try to solve this problem any more."

"I'm afraid that by then, even if we cross the Yangtze River, we won't be able to continue our attack!"

When Lu Su, who was standing next to him, heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

It is true that the Shanyue people in the rear of Jiangdong are rebelling and the war situation is becoming increasingly tense.

But it can’t be that even the supply of food and grass in Jingzhou can’t keep up, right?
Zhou Yu's words also made Zhuge Liang's expression change.

But he knew in his heart that Zhou Yu asked him to come this time.

It's definitely not just for this matter.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang bowed and said:
"What the governor said is very true. We are facing a powerful enemy now."

"We will certainly not refuse a small amount of supplies."

"I will immediately write a letter to inform my master."

"I think someone will be sent to deliver food and supplies soon."

"Please be patient, Governor."

When Zhou Yu heard that Zhuge Liang had taken the bait, he raised his eyebrows.

He waved his hand and said, "There's no rush for this."

"There is an urgent matter right now."

"Now our army is facing off against the Jingzhou navy, and arrows are in great demand in front of both armies."

"But we have been suffering from a serious loss of arrows recently. Could you please ask Kong Ming to provide us with some arrows?"

Zhuge Liang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

But he still asked calmly:
"May I ask, Commander-in-Chief, how many arrowheads do you need?"

Zhou Yu sneered in his heart when he heard this, but replied without any doubt on his face:

"One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand of the finest arrows!"

Zhuge Liang asked without changing his expression:

"When will the governor need it?"

Zhou Yu laughed even more happily when he heard this!
"We are now engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy."

"There will be a big war soon."

"Of course, the sooner this happens, the better. It would be best if we can get everything together within three days!"

Lu Su, who was standing next to him, also widened his eyes upon hearing this!

Make 100,000 arrows in three days?

It is obvious that Zhou Gongjin wants to make things difficult for Kong Ming!
But as a Jiangdong native, he couldn't speak at this time.

I could only sit there and keep silent.

How should we deal with the talented Kong Ming?
Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly when he heard this, but in the next moment he looked calm again.

But I felt a little worried.

Lord Liu Bei is now back in Changsha to organize the attack on Lingling.

There is no hope at the moment.

Besides, even if they made the arrows over there, it would be too late to transport them here in three days.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang paced back and forth.

Looking to the north at this time, I began to think about the enemy’s water fort on the opposite bank.

I heard that Cao’s army now has more than 100,000 people.

There are probably a hundred thousand arrows in this round of rain, right?
Even if tens of thousands of people fired a few more rounds, it would be almost this number.

So a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind!

But the opponent is not stupid and will not throw arrows at you so easily.

Then you have to find a condition to trick the opponent's arrows without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang spat a little saliva and dipped it with his thumb.

Then I put it in front of my eyes and felt that it had not dried for a long time after the wind blew.

This means that there is a lot of moisture these days, and there may be heavy fog in the next few days!

Zhuge Liang then turned around and said confidently:

"Of course this is no problem!"

"Within three days, I will deliver 100,000 arrows to the governor's tent!"

Zhou Yu burst into laughter upon hearing this:

"Kong Ming, please don't fool me!"

"There is no joking in the army, and you are making such a boast now."

"If you can't produce it by then, are you willing to be punished?"

This time, even the good old man Lu Su couldn't hold it in anymore.

He quickly stepped forward and advised: "Yes, Kong Ming!"

"These 100,000 arrows are no small number!"

"You have to think it through!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said:
"Zi Jing, you are joking. How difficult is it to get just 100,000 arrows?"

Zhou Yu was also stunned when he heard this!

He really couldn't figure out where Zhuge Liang's confidence came from.

But he still said seriously:

"Words are not enough. I will issue a military order now!"

"Sir, do you dare to sign it?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly upon hearing this and said:

"Why don't you dare?"

After saying that, he snatched the brush and signed the military order on the spot.

Then he bowed to Zhou Yu and said:
"Wait a minute, Commander. We will have all the 100,000 arrows within three days!"

After saying that, he walked out of the tent without looking back.

Zhou Yu was also a little surprised when he saw this.

Then he turned to Lu Su and said:

"Zijing, follow him and see what tricks he plays."

"Since he dared to guarantee to make 100,000 arrows within three days."

"Then there must be a special method for making arrows."

"If you can learn it quietly, it will be of great benefit to us in Jiangdong!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Su nodded to show that he understood.

But then I heard Zhou Yu continue:

"Also! Make sure you keep an eye on Kong Ming."

"What if he runs away because he can't make 100,000 arrows!"

"That would be a huge joke!"

Although he said this, he had another idea in his mind.

It would be even better if Zhuge Liang ran away!
If Zhuge Liang ran away, he could then use the excuse of stabilizing the military morale.

It would be a natural thing to recruit those 30,000 Jiangxia soldiers!
But Lu Su didn't know what he was thinking.

He just hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Commander."

"Kong Ming treats people with sincerity and would never dare to deceive the governor!"

"I will never be such a traitor."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he also burst into laughter.

"Zi Jing, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart."

"Go and see him now."
