Story: Grass boats borrow arrows.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led 800,000 troops to conquer Wu Dong. Sun Quan and Liu Bei planned to jointly attack Wei. There was a general named Zhou Yu under Sun Quan, who was clever and brave, but narrow-minded and jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. Because the water war needs arrows, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to build 100 thousand arrows in ten days, but Zhuge Liang only needed three days, and he was willing to issue a military order, and he was willing to be punished if he failed to complete the task. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible to build 100,000 arrows in three days, and he just took this opportunity to get rid of Zhuge Liang. So on the one hand, he told military craftsmen not to prepare all the materials for making arrows, and on the other hand, he told minister Lu Su to inquire about Zhuge Liang's reality.
Lu Su met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said, "Please help me with this. I hope you can lend me 20 boats, each with 30 sergeants. The ship should be covered with green curtains, and more than 1000 grass targets should be arranged on both sides of the ship. However, this matter must not be known to your governor, otherwise it will not work. " Lu Su reported to Zhou Yu that there was no need to prepare materials, and he made no mention of Zhuge Liang's plan. Two days passed and nothing happened. Zhou Yu thought: He must not build it well. On the third day, at four o'clock, Zhuge Liang secretly asked Lu Su to board the boat together, saying that they would go to get the arrow together. Zhuge Liang ordered the ropes on the ship to be connected and rushed to the other side.
There was fog on the river that day, and there was no one on the other side. When the boat approached the water village in Cao Jun, Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to be set aside and let the soldiers beat drums and shout. Thinking that the other side was coming to attack, Cao Cao was afraid of being ambushed in the fog, so he sent 6 thousand archers from the drought village to shoot arrows into the river, and the arrows rained down on the grass target. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to turn around and let the other side get an arrow. When the sun comes out, the fog will disperse. Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to return quickly. At this time, the wind was smooth, and it was too late for Cao Cao to chase. At this time, the grass targets on both sides of the ship were densely covered with arrows. There are at least five or six thousand ships on each ship, and there are twenty ships in total, and the total number far exceeds one hundred thousand. When Lu Su told Zhou Yu the story of borrowing an arrow, Zhou Yu sighed, "Zhuge Liang has a clever plan, but I am not as good as him."
