Four days later, at the end of the day.
At this moment, the sky was dark and the Yangtze River was covered in fog.
"Enemy attack!"
A scream caused a small commotion in Cao Cao's camp, and then it quickly spread to the entire camp.
"Reporting to my lord, enemy troops have been discovered attacking from afar!”
Cai Mao arrived in front of Cao Cao with a solemn expression.
Guo Jia and the others also stood up and walked to Cao Cao's side.
"Do you know how many enemies there are?"
"I don't know. The river is now covered in fog, and only a few hundred warships can be vaguely seen.”
Cao Cao frowned as if he had thought of something.
"De Gui, pass down the order. If you refuse to fight, you only need to fire ten thousand arrows at once to force the other party to be unable to approach Han Village.”
Once bitten, twice shy!
However, Cai Mao had the same thoughts. A few days ago, he had promised to defend Han Stronghold. He didn't ask for merit, but he wanted to make no mistakes!
"Yes, my lord!" After Cai Mao agreed, he went to arrange the defense.
Guo Jia yawned and shook his head helplessly. It was so early in the morning, and he didn't even let people sleep.
"Prime Minister, do you really think this is an enemy attack?”
This Zhuge Liang was really using the straw boat to borrow arrows, but it was useless to him.
"What does Zhuiyu mean?" Boss Cao looked puzzled.
"Prime Minister, listen carefully and you will know.”
Guo Jia didn't explain. Instead, he asked everyone to listen carefully.
After a long time, Boss Cao looked thoughtful.
"These are all empty ships?"
Listening carefully, the drums on the river surface shook the sky, but there was no sound of killing, which was quite strange.
"That's right, the Prime Minister is wise!" Guo Jia cupped his hands.
"But what is the other party's motive for doing this?”
Xun Yu also realized that something was amiss, but he did not know what the other party wanted to do.
Guo Jia rolled his eyes at the other party." Jiangdong is not as good as our army, which has the entire Central Plains as its logistics. I think it's because of the shortage of arrows that I'm here to 'borrow' arrows from the Prime Minister today!”
"Zhou Yu, you brat, you actually dare to tease me like this.”
"Pass down the order. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will lead fifty thousand Jingzhou soldiers out of the river to meet the enemy!”
Boss Cao's expression was ugly. If it wasn't for Guo Jia's reminder, he might have really been played by the other party today.
Seeing that the herald was about to move, Guo Jia hurriedly said," Wait!”
"Prime Minister, who do you want to fight with when you send troops out now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao reacted.
That's right, the other side was filled with empty ships. They would probably turn around and flee the moment they saw Cao Ying's army move out. They would have no way of catching up to the other side's empty ships!
"I have a plan, is Prime Minister willing to listen?”
"Zhuiyu, please speak."
"Since Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang have come to borrow arrows, then the Prime Minister is magnanimous and might as well 'lend' them.”
As soon as Guo Jia spoke, the others looked at him with even more curiosity. After all, they knew that this plan would not be so simple.
"I estimate that this arrow will need to be 'borrowed' until dawn, at least an hour.”
"During this period of time, my lord can have Zhang Yun lead the Jingzhou navy to quietly cross the Yangtze River while the fog spreads.”
"When the person who 'borrowed' the arrow returns, the other party will count the arrows and reap the fruits of victory. When they are unprepared, we will attack the water village in River East.”
"Zhuiyu's plan is great!" Boss Cao shouted.
Then, he did not hesitate and directly passed the order to Zhang Yun.
Xun Yu and the others looked at Guo Jia with even more caution.
There was probably no one in the Cao Camp who could compete with him.
Guo Jia did not care about this. In fact, he wanted to see this situation more.
After more than an hour, the sky was already slightly bright.
"Thank you for the arrows, Prime Minister Cao!"
A faint voice suddenly came from the river surface.
Cao Cao smiled when he heard this.
"Pass down my order, let Cai Mao chase after them. There is no need to pursue them too deeply. After passing the center of the Yangtze River, turn around and return to the camp!”
Guo Jia nodded upon hearing this.
Although he didn't say anything, this was exactly what he wanted to arrange.
However, since Boss Cao could think of it himself, he couldn't be bothered to interrupt.
After all, sometimes, it was better to give Boss Cao some confidence. Otherwise, he might get autistic…
"Prime Minister is wise!"
……
"Kong Ming, I really want to see what's in your head. How can you think of such a method?”
Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang with admiration.
Initially, he thought that Zhuge Liang would not be able to complete Zhou Yu's orders. He was even prepared to plead for him.
However, he did not expect Zhuge Liang to be able to get at least 200,000 arrows with just a little trick!
"Zijing, you flatter me. Let's go and invite Gongjin to come and check first.”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more trouble!”
Zhuge Liang shook his head. His goal was to delay the battle of Sun Cao.
Now, another four days had passed, and he was one step closer to his plan.
"Kong Ming is truly a heaven-blessed talent. The heavens are helping our Jiangdong!”
Zhou Yu walked over from afar, not hiding his admiration for Zhuge Liang.
However, there was a hint of fear hidden in the depths of his expression.
Originally, he thought that Cao Cao was his only rival in helping the Sun family fight for the world.
Now, it seemed that Liu Bei, who had Zhuge Liang's support, could not be underestimated!
"Commander-in-chief, hurry up and verify the number of arrows. This way, I can rest assured.”
Zhou Yu didn't hesitate. He gathered his men to collect the arrows and count them.
Right at this moment, the sound of battle cries shook the sky!
