"Brother Kong Ming, you're here. Please come in quickly."
As soon as Zhao Yigang walked outside Zhou Yu's coach's tent, he saw Lu Su waving to him.
"Brother Zijing, I wonder why General Zhou asked me to come so late?"
"I don't know what's going on specifically. Let's talk about it after we go in."
When Zhao Yi walked into the tent, he saw Zhou Yu arranging tasks for his generals. This time he not only brought the veterans Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, but also the promising young general Lu Xun.
"Well, our task at this stage is still to strengthen defense, train soldiers, and adjust morale to the best state."
"yes."
After everyone retreated one by one, Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yi and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong Ming is here, please take a seat."
Zhao Yi was not polite. Sitting next to Zhou Yu, he could probably think of what the other party wanted from him, and he seemed confident.
"General Zhou, if you need my help if you need anything, just ask. Since we are on the same boat, we should unite and help each other and advance and retreat together."
"Hahaha, Mr. Kong Ming is right. In fact, I asked Zijing to find you because I have an important task for Mr. Kong Ming. I have always heard that Mr. Wolong is proficient in various ingenious mechanisms. Now our coalition forces are fighting Cao Cao. It has been determined that there will be a water war, and the water station requires a large number of bows and arrows. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Kong Ming to try to make some improvements to our coalition's crossbows, and seize the time to produce 100,000 arrows in preparation for the war. ."
coming.
Zhao Yi sneered in his heart, and then asked lightly: "I wonder when General Zhou will use these 100,000 arrows?"
"The specific time depends on the movements of Cao's army. Once the opponent makes any changes, a war will break out, so it is best to complete the arrows within ten days. Don't worry, Mr. Kong Ming, I will let the officials in charge of military production fully cooperate with your work. "
Zhao Yi secretly thought, "How can you cooperate with me?" But his appearance did not change at all.
"Haha~ That's what General Zhou said. The war is about to break out. If we prepare the arrows one day earlier, we will have the upper hand. In this way, instead of ten days, Liang can complete the one hundred thousand arrows in three days. "
"Three days? Brother Kong Ming..."
Lu Su was shocked when he heard this and wanted to stop him, but Zhou Yu laughed and said: "Hahaha~ Okay, Mr. Kong Ming is really talented and brave, but the enemy is facing a powerful enemy. There is no joke in the army. Don't do anything you can't do." Commit easily.”
Zhao Yi waved his hand and said: "Since Liang can say that it will be completed in three days, General Zhou is right. There is no joke in the army. I am willing to sign a military order. If I can't collect 100,000 arrows within three days, , willing to be dealt with by military law!"
"One hundred thousand arrows in three days? This..."
"Okay! Come here, get some paper and pen!"
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, and he ordered someone to get paper and pen. Zhao Yi took the brush and brushed it, and immediately signed his name on the military order. However, he signed it with Zhuge Liang. If it couldn't be completed by then, it would be him. Being punished or is the real Zhuge Liang punished?
After Zhao Yi finished writing, Zhou Yu took the military order in front of him, read it from beginning to end, and then folded it and put it in his arms.
"I believe Mr. Kong Ming, since he can say that he can raise 100,000 arrows in three days, he will definitely be able to complete it. If you need anything, just give him any instructions. I have already said hello to the person in charge of armaments."
"Thank you, General Zhou. Then I will go down and make arrangements."
Zhao Yi raised his feet and was about to leave. When he saw some snacks placed on the table in the corner of Zhou Yu's military tent, he stepped forward with a playful smile, picked up the whole plate and said, "I'm sorry, General Zhou, Liang suddenly felt hungry. If you are hungry, you will never have the energy to raise arrows."
"Mr. Kong Ming, just take it. If it's not enough, I'll ask the chef to make some more."
"Really? Then I'll trouble General Zhou. That's very good."
Zhao Yi left Zhou Yu's tent with snacks in his arms, and Lu Su followed him out, saying anxiously: "Hongfei, how can you be so reckless? One hundred thousand arrows, that's one hundred thousand arrows! Not to mention three days, Even if I give you ten days, you may not be able to complete it! What should I do now?"
Seeing that Lu Su was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Zhao Yi smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Mr. Zijing, don't panic. Since I dare to sign this military order, I am absolutely sure. Don't forget that I can Magical."
"Fairy magic? Can fairy magic also create arrows?"
Lu Su asked doubtfully.
"How to do it specifically is related to the secrets of the Immortal family. I can't tell you. But Mr. Zijing, you just let it slip. What did you call me?"
Lu Su was stunned, and then he remembered that he had called Zhao Yi's real name just now in a hurry. He immediately looked around, but luckily there was no one around.
"It's my fault. I was a little anxious just now, but those 100,000 arrows..."
Zhao Yi smiled mysteriously, raised his index finger and said: "Mr. Zijing, you only need to do one more favor. One hundred thousand arrows will be sent to you in three days."
"How can I help?" Lu Su was puzzled.
"Mr. Zijing only needs to lend me thirty ships. Each ship must be manned by thirty sergeants. The ships must be covered with green cloth and lined with two-stringed trees. I have my own magic use. Don't tell General Zhou about this for the time being." , I want to give him a surprise."
Lu Su was still confused after hearing this, "It's not difficult to find twenty ships for you, it's not difficult to staff them with sergeants, and it's not difficult to tie straw men to the sides of the ships, but what does this have to do with a hundred thousand arrows?"
"Mr. Zijing just needs to prepare. Liang has thanked you here. After everything is done, I will invite Mr. Zijing for a drink."
Lu Su hesitated to speak, and said with a heavy "Hey": "Okay, it will take some time to deploy the thirty boats, and it will probably take a day to tie up all the straw men. It should be completed tomorrow afternoon. I hope You can think of a way."
"Don't worry, my Mr. Zijing, have you forgotten my nickname? Wolong, that's Wolong. Don't worry about Wolong's work."
Zhao Yi put his left hand on Lu Su's shoulder and squeezed it gently. The latter had no choice but to leave, silently thinking about what Zhao Yi needed in his heart, for fear of forgetting.
When Lu Su returned to the military tent while recalling and muttering in a low voice, Zhou Yu came over with interest.
"Zijing, did Zhuge Kongming say how he would raise one hundred thousand arrows?"
Lu Su said with a bitter look on his face: "No, he doesn't want any materials for making arrows, and I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Haha~ I guess he really has the ability to spread beans and make soldiers into soldiers. He can conjure a hundred thousand arrows out of thin air. Let's wait and see."
Zhao Yi returned to the camp leisurely and put the snacks he had received from Zhou Yu on the table.
"Auntie, it's time to eat."
When Sun Shangxiang smelled the snack, he rolled over from the bed and sat up. Without caring about his image, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. He was pinched hard after taking only two bites. If it weren't for the water Zhao Yi handed him, he would have been very drunk. He might die just like that.
"Hmm... I'm starving to death. You're still kind of a loyal guy. By the way, why did Gongjin ask you to do it? How are we going to train tomorrow?"
"Your governor ordered me to make 100,000 arrows within ten days."
"Create 100,000 arrows in ten days? You are not my general in Soochow, how can the Ordnance Bureau here listen to your orders? This is too difficult. No, I will go to Gong Jin now and ask him to give it to you. Give me some more time."
Zhao Yi looked at Sun Shangxiang in surprise, "I didn't expect the third lady to be quite loyal~ But there is no need to intercede, because I have already signed the military order, and I think ten days is too long, so I told him three days is enough. "
"What? Three days? Three days to make a hundred thousand arrows? And a military order? Zhuge Kongming, don't you want to die? There is no joke in the army. Even I, a woman, know it. How can you say such arrogant words? You Are you preparing to... prepare to escape overnight tonight?"
"What are you talking about? Am I such an irresponsible person? I said it will be three days. I will suspend daily training tomorrow and go to the riverside with me to weed people."
"Grassmaker? Do you want to be sent to the underworld as a servant after you are executed?"
When Zhao Yi heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. The brain circuit of this third lady was really strange. If that were the case, he should be the one who had to tie up the paper. Who would go to the grave and burn a straw man?
