Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

It was ridiculous that Zhuge Liang actually asked his lord in public.

However, Sun Quan was not angry, but smiled and said, "When fighting on water, both sides should take bows and arrows first."

"Thank you Marquis Wu for telling me." Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and continued to ask, "I would like to ask Marquis Wu how long did it take to build this bow and arrow, craftsmen, and materials?"

"This..." Sun Quan was asked.

Although he is noble as the Marquis of Wu, he does not know much about such trivial matters as logistics.

Only people in the army and logistics officials would know.

He looked at Zhou Yu, the latter understood, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "This ordinary arrow requires logging, cast iron, and a number of stems, horns, tendons, glue, silk, and paint to build an arrow. The amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources consumed is not much, but if the number is huge, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.”

Zhou Yu said.

In the battle in Jiangzhong, the competition is also the logistical bow and arrow reserve.

After all, bows and arrows on flat ground can be recycled, but arrows that fall into the river cannot be retrieved.

Zhou Yu knew this, but he didn't know Zhuge Liang's purpose, so he continued.

"Kong Ming, if you have any questions, just ask them at once."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile, "I have finished my questions."

"Then what do you mean?" Zhou Yu asked.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "If I can provide Jiangdong with [-] bows and arrows to use to defeat the enemy on the water, I wonder if the Marquis of Wu and the Great Governor can donate [-] stone grain and grass to our army?"

"Oh?"

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise at the same time.

One hundred thousand bows and arrows?

There are quite a few.

They were just curious how Zhuge Liang could make [-] bows and arrows.

After all, Liu Bei now has a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses, and how many people know how to make bows and arrows?

You know, bows and arrows are not made casually.

Even Liu Bei was startled, he took Zhuge Liang's arm and lowered his voice: "Kong Ming, our army only has tens of thousands of bows and arrows today, how can we make [-] bows and arrows?"

"Besides, if our army's bows and arrows are given to Soochow, how will our soldiers and horses fight?"

Liu Bei believed that Zhuge Liang wanted to use the bows and arrows in the army and the Eastern Wu in exchange for grain.

In this way, although it can indeed solve the problem of food shortages, how can soldiers kill the enemy on board without bows and arrows?

"My lord, Liang didn't say to use a crossbow in the army." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"what?"

Liu Bei was stunned.

Without using the bow and crossbow in the army, how can you come up with [-] bows and arrows?

Did it come out of nowhere?

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side were also full of doubts, especially Zhang Fei, who had complained about Zhuge Liang's many failures, but hearing Zhuge Liang say this, he couldn't help humming in front of everyone: " boast!"

His voice was not loud, but not too small.

Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei a reproachful look, and Zhang Fei shrank his neck and underestimated, "I'm not wrong, which time did he do what Kong Ming said?"

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to get angry, Guan Yu quickly grabbed Zhang Fei: "Okay, third brother, don't make big brother angry."

"Besides, now that the people from Jiangdong are still there, how can you save your elder brother's face by doing this?"

Zhang Fei didn't dare to speak.

Sun Quan glanced at Zhang Fei, smiled, then turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said:

"If Mr. Kong Ming can really come up with [-] bows and arrows, I'll order someone to send it for you."

"And I won't embarrass Mr. Kong Ming, so let me give you ten days. Within ten days, you can send the bow and arrow."

Sun Quan did not want Zhuge Liang to be too embarrassed.

After all, it is not easy to make [-] arrows.

"Haha..." Zhuge Liang chuckled and shook his head slowly.

"Could it be that ten days is too short? Then add it to fifteen days." Sun Quan frowned, but he still gave another five days.

"No, I shook my head not because ten days were not enough, but because it was too long."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, his eyes twinkling with strange gleams, "Now the war is imminent, and we may fight at any time. If we delay it for another ten days, wouldn't it be a waste of fighter opportunities?"

Ok?

Sun Quan was stunned, and even Zhou Yu stared at Zhuge Liang in amazement.

As if to see flowers on Zhuge Liang's face.

After a while, before Sun Quan and Zhou Yu spoke, veteran Cheng Pu couldn't help it: "Then dare to ask Mr. Kong Ming, how much time do you need?"

"It only takes three days." Zhuge Liang smiled proudly.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Whether it was Sun Quan or Zhou Yu, the first reaction was disbelief.

Forging [-] arrows in three days is tantamount to a fantasy.

This time, Liu Bei didn't ask any more questions. He had already seen it. Since the strategist said so, he must have full confidence. He just needs to listen patiently.

After a while, the surprise in everyone's heart slowly let go.

Zhou Yu said, "Kong Ming, you know that there are no jokes in the army."

"Of course I know, not to mention that our army is short of food now, how can I talk and laugh about our army's life and death?" Zhuge Liang smiled confidently and said, "It's too late today, so I won't count it, and I will count the number from tomorrow. One day, please ask the Marquis of Wu and the great governor to go to the riverside to fetch arrows at the Youshi three days later."

"' 々 Then I'll wait for the good news from Mr. Kong Ming."

Sun Quan nodded and continued: "The battle between us and Cao Cao will start soon. On the frontal battlefield, it is natural for me to fight against Cao Cao's army in Jiangdong, but I also hope that the emperor will lead the army and raid the two important cities behind Cao Cao, Jiangxia and Jiangling. ."

"This..." Liu Bei frowned.

Most of Cao Cao's army is now assembled in Jiangling. This heavy city is defended by a large army. With his [-] army to attack, it is impossible to take it down.

As for Jiang Xia, there are some chances, but the difficulty is still not small.

"Don't worry about the uncle, I plan to temporarily borrow the city of E in Jiangxia County from the uncle. The uncle can use this as the foundation to win Jiangxia."

Sun Quan said.

"Echeng?" Liu Bei thought for a moment.

Echeng is north of Wuchang, near Jiangxia.

Since Gan Ning took Jiangxia, occupied Xiakou, and deployed heavy troops in Xiakou Port, he has been harassing Echeng from time to time. If he really went to Echeng, wouldn't it be the same as Liu Biao had arranged him in Xinye.

Sun Quan seemed to have given him a place to build a foundation, but he actually asked him to stop Gan Ning.

This kind of taste of being used as a gunman is very uncomfortable.

Liu Bei was still hesitating, but Zhuge Liang, who was beside him, quickly cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Marquis Wu."

"Okay, then the matter is settled. Later, I will order someone to send the seal to the city of E. By the way, there are still three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and thousands of stone grain and grass, and they will also be given to Uncle Huang."

Sun Quan was afraid that Liu Bei would regret it, so he took a deep breath and generously gave the whole city to Liu Bei.

Then, with Zhou Yu and others, he turned and left.

He (Qian Nuo's) had to go back to deal with Sun Zhao, and he couldn't stay here for too long.

When the people from Jiangdong dispersed, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with some dissatisfaction.

Fang Cai actually arbitrarily made a decision for him.

"Kong Ming, how can we win Jiangxia with this small town?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously.

"My lord, rather than relying on Jiangdong and being held hostage by Jiangdong, it is better to go to Echeng to seek a chance of life."

"Echeng is small, but it is the master of the land."

"And Echeng is only an hour or two away from Jiangxia. After Cao Cao retreats to the north, we can wait for the opportunity to take Jiangxia, and then occupy the counties of Jingzhou, so that the lord can take advantage of the situation."

Zhuge Liang said bitterly.

"So that's the case. Fortunately, Kong Ming reminded me to let me go." Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's big hand, and his face was full of joy, but soon, his brows were wrinkled again.

"But strategist, you just promised Jiangdong [-] arrows, how do you plan to complete it within three days?" Liu Bei asked.

"My lord, don't worry, Liang has already made preparations. After Liang has exchanged the [-] grains for the lord, please also ask the lord to immediately lead troops to Echeng, recruit troops and buy horses, and take Jiangxia while Cao Sun is at war." Zhuge Liang solemnly warned.

"It's been hard work."

Liu Bei nodded.

If you can get [-] grain and grass, you will be able to recruit [-] soldiers when you arrive in Echeng, and you may not be able to take advantage of the situation to capture Jiangxia City. .

Chapter 87

Two days later.

Gangneung.

This winter in the south is more comfortable than the north, and the temperature is not so low, but the wind in the south has a kind of cold that blows into the bone marrow, making Su Chen hide in the tent for several days and reluctant to come out.

The sun finally came out today, so he moved a chair and went outside to bask in the sun.

Next to him is Zhao Yang, who is grilling with saliva.

After roasting, sprinkle with the prepared seasoning and serve respectfully on a plate.

Su Chen didn't speak, he never dared to eat it.

Besides Zhao Yang, there was another person outside the tent.
