Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 105 This is a straw boat's plan to borrow arrows!

"Prime Minister, it is clear that Zhou Yu has attacked. We must not spare them. Please, Prime Minister, send me to fight!"

Xiahou Dun was a little impatient at this time and quickly asked for orders.

Other generals also stepped forward one after another. They all thought the same thing, which was to send troops to defeat Zhou Yu.

But at this time Xun You stood up and retorted: "Prime Minister, there may be a fraud!"

"I just heard the beating of drums and the shouts of killing, but no one actually rushed towards me. This may be a treacherous plot by Zhou Yu and the others. If we rush to send troops, I'm afraid we will fall into their trap!"

Jia Xu walked out slowly with a solemn expression, thinking about what might happen in his mind, and spoke slowly.

"Prime Minister, although there is a huge momentum on the river, although Zhou Yu is radical, he is not mediocre. He will definitely not attack us in a big way. But when they come, they can't just let people beat drums and shout."

"Besides, if they wanted to take advantage of the heavy fog to launch a surprise attack, they shouldn't have made such a public announcement to alert our troops before they arrived, so there must be a scam!"

"I suggest to respond with arrows, just shoot without attacking. Even if Zhou Yu really leads his army, under the cover of heavy fog, he may not be able to withstand the rain of arrows from our army, resulting in heavy losses!"

Cao Cao nodded slowly, fully agreeing with what Jia Xu and others said, but he still frowned and looked cautious.

"No, as I said before, if you can't see the enemy, you must not attack rashly."

"But if the enemy is really approaching, then shoot them with rockets, not ordinary arrows!"

He thought about Ye Fan's previous speculation that Zhou Yu would ask Zhuge Liang to make arrows. Could today's attack be related to this matter?

Therefore, he ordered the use of rockets.

Although everyone in the big tent was a little confused, they still obeyed Cao Cao's order.

……

Zhuge Liang ordered his men to beat drums and shout, but did not continue to move forward.

Lu Su frowned, and was very puzzled by Zhuge Liang's behavior of risking his death. Their one hundred soldiers plus ten small boats were no match for Cao's army.

"Kong Ming, we are so grand that if Cao Jun attacks, we won't even be able to escape!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed, his eyes full of contempt.

"Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. In such heavy fog, they have no idea how many troops we have on the river. How could they attack rashly?"

"The people in Cao's camp are all mediocre people. It is impossible for them to guess my intention of doing this. Therefore, their best way to deal with it is to shoot it with arrows!"

After Lu Su looked at the straw men on their boat, he immediately understood Zhuge Liang's plan.

"This is the straw boat's plan to borrow arrows. As soon as the arrows come, they will all be inserted into the straw man. We only need to collect the arrows on the straw man!"

"This strategy is really brilliant. Who would have thought that Cao Cao would come to get the arrows we need, but Kong Ming is not kind. It's hard for me to hide it. It's a pity that I was worried about you before!"

There was some resentment in his eyes, and he looked angry.

Zhuge Liang smiled, with a proud look on his face. In his opinion, only he could come up with such an ingenious strategy, and even Zhou Yu was not as good as him!

"I'm also afraid that the news will leak out. Gong Jin asked me to make a hundred thousand arrows, which is simply forcing someone to do something difficult. I can only come up with this plan and come to Cao Cao to borrow arrows."

Lu Su was not a stingy person, and his face was full of smiles at this moment, and he couldn't help but admire this strategy in his heart.

"Now one hundred thousand arrows can be delivered."

"Borrow arrows from Cao Cao and use them against them later. If Cao Cao finds out, I'm afraid he will be angry to death!" Both of them laughed, turned around and returned to the cabin, waiting for the rain of arrows from Cao Jun's army. .

But after beating the drums for a long time, the soldiers who were beating the drums and shouting were almost hoarse, but no arrows came. This made Zhuge Liang unable to sit still.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he walked out of the cabin and looked in the direction of Cao's camp. He did not see any movement from Cao's army, and he suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.

Lu Su came out and asked doubtfully: "Kong Ming, why didn't Cao Jun respond?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly looked stunned, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Cao Jun must have not heard our drum beating and shouting. Maybe their defense is so lax."

"It will take time to mobilize the army, so we just have to wait patiently."

Even so, he was no longer absolutely sure because this was beyond his expectation.

"Bring the ship closer, keep beating the drum and shouting, and don't stop for a moment!"

Zhuge Liang ordered, with an imperceptible panic in his eyes.

After all, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Cao Jun not to hear such a movement, so there must be something wrong somewhere!
  Bang bang bang!
  There was heavy fog on the river, but the sound of war drums was rapid and non-stop. Although it was invisible, it could be heard clearly.

Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the battleship, listening to the drums, his expression gloomy and terrifying, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

"Is this drum sound a signal from Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao?"

"The dog thief has indeed taken refuge with Cao Cao!"

He cursed angrily, his heart filled with rage and his body shaking slightly with anger.

Although he had wanted to kill Zhuge Liang before, he never thought that Zhuge Liang would defect to Cao Cao. Even when rumors spread in Jiangdong, he still didn't believe it.

But now he had to believe it.

Gan Ning came to Zhou Yu's side and frowned, faintly angry, but still restrained a bit.

"Grand Governor, maybe they are at war. After all, no matter how you think about it, Zhuge Liang cannot defect to Cao Cao."

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, his face was as cold as frost, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Zhuge Liang had no more than a hundred soldiers and only ten small boats. Don't you think it's ridiculous that he came to attack Cao Cao with such a small force?"

"So, it is absolutely impossible for him to come to fight. The only explanation is that he came to surrender!"

"We must not be merciful in the face of traitors!"

He clenched his fists and his joints cracked, which was enough to show the anger in his heart.

Compared to the hidden dangers Zhuge Liang might cause to Jiangdong in the future, Zhou Yu was even more angry about Zhuge Liang's surrender. After all, the Sun and Liu families were now in alliance.

Even though the two families are at odds with each other, if Zhuge Liang defected to Cao Cao, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face for both of them.

Huang Gai also came to Zhou Yu's side, with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Captain, Zhuge Liang doesn't seem like someone who would be impressed by a high-ranking official or a generous salary, otherwise he would not have agreed to Liu Bei's offer in the first place. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

After all, he is a veteran and has considered things more carefully. After hearing that Zhuge Liang surrendered to Cao Cao, he was full of doubts.
