Friendship on the Arrow's Edge
(a candidate from Fujian)

Zhou Yu was pacing back and forth in the tent of the military camp, while a moth was flying around beside the candle on the desk.The tent was dark and bright, and the soldier standing guard at the entrance of the tent sighed. He understood that the people in the tent must be troubled by something, but at the same time, he also understood how a small person like him could replace a general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. For the sake of?At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Yu came out, the silver armor shining in the moonlight.There was no expression on his face, he seemed to be hesitating, but also seemed to have made up his mind.Zhou Yu stood like this for a long time, and the soldiers beside him had no choice but to stand with him like this.For a time, the sky and the earth seemed infinitely broad, and the stars were scattered in the black night sky, as if pearls were scattered on the black silk and satin.Zhou Yu began to recall what happened a few days ago...

Three days ago, at the military meeting in the barracks. "Brother Gongjin, I think the Cao bandits are coming fiercely this time, and have built a city wall. At present, there are many enemies and we are few, and the enemy is strong and we are weak. Let's see if we want to..." Kong Ming said slowly, shaking his goose feather fan, but He was interrupted by Zhou Yu before he finished speaking. "Wait! Brother Kong Ming, little brother, I have a suggestion. How about the two of us write our respective strategies in our hands and take a look together. How about it?" "Okay." Kong Ming agreed with a smile.After a while, both of them were ready. Zhou Yu thought that he would attack Cao thief with fire. I wonder if Kong Ming would... The two held out their palms together.The word "fire" is written on both hands.

"Haha..." The two of them laughed heartily.At this time Zhou Yu was very happy in his heart. He had heard about Zhuge Liang's wisdom and strategy for a long time, but it was unexpected that it could suit him so well.Huo Gong needs bows and arrows, but Soochow's bows and arrows are far from what they need.But Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Brother Gongjin, don't worry about bows and arrows!" So they agreed that Zhuge Liang would hand over [-] bows and arrows to Zhou Yu in ten days.

The next day, Kong Ming set off.Using tactics and knowledge of astronomy, he "borrowed" ten boats full of arrows from Cao Cao.When he returned to Soochow, a soldier's report surprised him. There were not [-] arrows on the grass boat, only more than [-].Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan and fell into deep thought.Tomorrow the arrow will be handed over, Zhou Yu regards me as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, what should I do.

When the generals of Soochow heard that Kongming was short of arrows, they were all overjoyed, and they all went to Zhou Yu's tent to congratulate him.But Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard it, "What? He failed?" Zhou Yu couldn't believe his ears, but the reality was in front of him. Kong Ming failed, and this trouble can be eliminated tomorrow, but Kong Ming He is indeed a bosom friend, if only we could work together as one master!Alas... Zhou Yu is distressed...

The moonlight was still shining, and Zhou Yu looked at the distant sky, which seemed to be a bit pale.He took a deep breath and returned to the tent.

At the next day's military meeting, Wu and Shu were very tense. Zhang Fei stared at Tongling, and Zhao Yun stood beside Kong Ming holding a spear. It seemed that they were ready to protect Kong Ming with all their might. "Brother Kong Ming, the time limit is up, let's hand in the arrow!" Zhou Yu said. "Take the arrows!" With an order, the soldiers carried the arrows. Kong Ming felt that something was wrong. To be more specific, there were [-] arrows, no more and no less. "This..." Kong Ming was puzzled.Zhou Yu stepped forward and handed him an arrow, saying, "Okay! As expected of Mr. Wolong!" Kong Ming stared at the arrow that Zhou Yu handed over, and was stunned...

score review
This is a new story.This composition is a re-narration under the premise of being faithful to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is quite creative.The author boldly "subverts" Zhou Yu's traditional image of jealousy, jealousy, and narrow-mindedness, and successfully portrays that Zhou Yu "covers up" the fact that Zhuge Liang did not complete the task of [-] arrows from the perspective of taking the overall situation into consideration and emphasizing friendship.The plot of the story is twists and turns, the content is substantial, the characters are full, and the inference is unique.

Catch the root and underestimate the rest
(a candidate from Fujian)

The straw boat borrowing arrows is a good story that has been passed down through the ages. This story is vivid and interesting, and the plot is fascinating.In particular, several important figures in the Three Kingdoms are vividly portrayed, and the wisdom and capacity of the protagonist Zhuge Liang are fully reflected. In addition, Zhou Yu's jealousy, Lu Su's honesty, and Cao Cao's suspicion... have attracted the attention of many readers.Therefore, such enduring allusions tend to attract more attention, and it is not surprising that some people raise the topic of less than [-] borrowed arrows.

As we all know, in the story, Zhuge Liang issued a military order to hand over [-] arrows in three days, otherwise he would be punished.This can't help but make people sweat for Zhuge Liang. If there are some unexpected situations, such as thick fog drifting away and Cao Jun's arrows are few, it is very likely that Zhuge Liang was busy for nothing, and Zhou Yu finally caught the handle.In fact, when we think about problems, we should be clear about which ones are important and which ones are secondary. People often criticize the practice of "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon", so if we stick to borrowing arrows enough for [-] arrows, we can't tell the difference. Mainstream and tributary too.The story should reflect Zhuge Liang's ingenious calculations, and the method of borrowing arrows from straw boats is the focus of the article.This alone is enough to convince everyone. Suppose Zhuge Liang only borrowed [-] or [-] arrows, everyone will surely be conquered by his agility and boldness. Will anyone punish him?Zhou Yu must have bowed down and sighed, after all, Zhou Yu, who couldn't think of such a strategy, had no face to make irresponsible remarks on the number of arrows.

Therefore, as us who are inferior to Zhou Yu, we shouldn't have to fight for less than [-] sticks.You know, what we saw was straw boats borrowing arrows, not [-] arrows.There are principal contradictions and secondary contradictions in the dialectics of philosophy, and we should concentrate our efforts on resolving the principal contradictions, which has become a scientific theory.The ancients had the same reason to grasp the essence of things as the modern people. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a white-robed general Xue Rengui, who used soldiers like a god to conquer Liaodong for the Tang Dynasty.The emperor of the Tang Dynasty smiled and said: "I don't like Liaodong, I like the general." The emperor Tang is smart, he understands, with a general who can use soldiers like a god, why worry about the world being uncertain?The modern society is complicated, and there is a trend of "scattered flowers gradually becoming charming eyes". We should keep a clear mind, sharp eyes and agile skills, and grasp the key points of the problem. Einstein once said: "Mathematical problems, What X, Y, it’s just a running fox, you only need to catch it, and you’ve completed a hunt.” Our life is also full of “foxes”, to be a reasonable hunter should not be Be attracted by the scenery on the side of the road, and don't be intimidated by the thorns blocking the road, let alone give up the big principle because of some small interests.When we learn to grasp the root, we grasp the tail of success, and we are not far from success.At that time, what is the difference between [-] arrows and [-] arrows?Because we understand the wisdom of borrowing arrows from straw boats.

score review
The author's dialectical speculation, based on the story of "straw boats borrowing arrows", examines ancient and modern times, or examples, or quotations, or metaphors, or hypothetical reasoning, and clarifies his point of view in a simple and simple way: when we think about problems, we should know which are the key points, Which ones are secondary, if you stick to whether there are enough borrowed arrows for [-] arrows, you may be unable to distinguish the mainstream from the tributaries.It is rare to have a clear and profound point of view.

wonderful words
Our life is also full of "foxes". To be a reasonable hunter, you should not be attracted by the scenery on the roadside, nor be intimidated by the thorns blocking the road, let alone give up the big principle because of some small interests. .
