"Okay, you just need to follow and do as I tell you. Go to bed early now, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Sleep...sleep? If you want to sleep here, where should I sleep?"

Sun Shangxiang asked with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on the corner of his mouth, still stained with snack dregs.

"This is my tent. If I don't sleep here, where can I sleep?"

"But there's only one bed here."

"Yes, this is my bed."

"Damn it...Zhuge Kongming, can't you just let me go? I don't care, I'll sleep on the bed tonight, you go sleep somewhere else!"

"Are you being unreasonable, girl? This is my camp. You are occupying the magpie's nest. If it doesn't work, I will suffer a bit. Let's just squeeze in and sleep on the same bed."

"Ah, what did you say? You slutty thief, don't even think about taking advantage of me! If you dare to sleep with me... I will kill you with a knife at night!"

"Stop, stop, stop, you violent woman, okay, okay, you sleep with me, I'm afraid of you and you can't do it, you're really unlucky."

Zhao Yi was driven out of his tent by the arrogant Sun Shangxiang. He tightened his collar and ran to the tent of Ma Liu and his soldiers to squeeze into Datongbu with an expression of dissatisfaction.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Yi returned to his tent and dragged the sleepy Sun Shangxiang back from Duke Zhou.

"I said Miss Third, we are in the military camp. I issued a military order. Fortunately, you still slept so soundly. You are really heartless. You left. As my personal soldier, you actually got up later than me, the officer. In the past, I would have forced you to run fifty laps."

"Hate...let me sleep a little longer. The bed in your tent is not comfortable at all. There is a little draft at night. The most important thing is that there is a stinky smell. It is indeed a stinky man... ..”

"Hey, you're being unreasonable. I kindly let you sleep in my tent. I thought it was too much for you. I really can't bear to go back to my own home. No one is begging you to stay here. The conditions in the military camp are like this. It’s been settled, you should squeeze into a tent with those big soldiers and see if you can still complain.”

"Ah~~~"

Sun Shangxiang ignored Zhao Yi, stretched himself and said: "Go get me some water, I want to cleanse my face."

"Okay, okay, what a sin."

Zhao Yi had nothing to do with this young lady, so he went out to get some water, and found a rag at random, carried it into the tent, waited for his aunt to wash up, then walked out of the tent, took Ma Liu and others to join Lu Su, and headed Riverside.

"Brother Kong Ming, I have transferred ten ships first, and I will arrange the rest for you. There is a lot of straw here. The people who want to tie the straw can start now. The soldiers will be in place in a moment. Is there anything else? Order?"

"I'd also like to trouble Brother Zi Jing to find some gongs. I'll put them on the boat and they'll be of great use."

"Gong? I really don't understand what you are going to do."

With a head full of questions, Lu Su went to mobilize ships and gongs, while Zhao Yi took his own soldiers, including Sun Shangxiang, and began to build straw men.

"Everyone like me, stand the tied straw figures on both sides of the ship's side, fix them firmly, one next to the other, and leave no gaps."

Zhao Yi tied up a few straw men and fixed them on the side of the ship. He asked the soldiers to follow his example and fill up both sides of the ship. Then they tied up some on the top, bow and stern of the ship, leaving only Able to enter and exit people's trails.

The group of people was busy, and they spent a whole day just plowing the grass men. In the afternoon, Lu Su had arranged all thirty boats in place, and equipped each boat with thirty soldiers, and one of the boats, Zhao Yi ordered that only he and his ten soldiers should be left behind.

Soon, the first day promised passed by. Lu Su hadn't seen a single arrow so far. He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, dragged Zhao Yi to him, and whispered: "This day has passed." There are only two days left, are you absolutely sure?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zi Jing. I'll watch the sky at night. There may be heavy fog on the river tomorrow. When the fog is thickest in the early morning, we can raise 100,000 arrows."

"Okay, I'll trust you again."

On the second day, all the straw men were tied up, and Zhao Yi ordered the soldiers to reinforce the hull of the boat. He didn't want to borrow arrows to penetrate the hull of the boat. By then, he would die unjustly.

After making all preparations, Zhao Yi led his soldiers to play a card game called Landlord Landlord. Sun Shangxiang's eyes widened when she saw it. She had never seen such a game before, and it was so fun for the first time.

"Call the landlord, call the landlord, who gets the four of hearts?"

"Commander, I got the four of hearts, I won't shout."

"I'll grab it~!"

Zhao Yi and his soldiers were noisy and played cards until nightfall, while Lu Su anxiously found the real Zhuge Liang in private and informed the latter of the matter.

"Brother Kong Ming, what is Hongfei trying to do? Can his magic really produce a hundred thousand arrows in one night?"

There was no surprise on Zhuge Liang's face. After hearing what Zhao Yi asked for, he calmly said: "Brother Zijing, there is no need to worry. It seems that Hongfei did not use magic this time, but a conspiracy. I have probably already Being able to guess his thoughts, I have to say that he is brave and resourceful, which is admirable."

"Is it a conspiracy? This..."

"Haha~ Brother Zijing, come drink with me here tonight and wait for the good news about Hongfei."

While Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were drinking in the camp, Zhao Yi also arranged for the borrowed soldiers to board thirty ships, and asked the soldiers to follow his lead ship, and they were not allowed to make any sound without his orders throughout the process.

As expected by Zhao Yi, a thin layer of mist had condensed on the river since noon that day. When the light dimmed at night, it became even more difficult to see things on the other side. In addition, dark clouds covered the moon, making it like a straw boat borrowing arrows. the best ideal environment.

"Brothers, get on the boat and let's ask Prime Minister Cao to borrow some arrows for us."

Zhao Yi's ten soldiers have long regarded him as a leader. This little immortal has taken them with them since they arrived at Dangyang Bridge in Changbanpo. The scene on Dangyang Bridge, which is like a god descending to earth, is still engraved in the hearts of these ten soldiers. , they will never forget it in this life, they will do whatever Zhao Yi says, just kidding, this is an immortal, the immortal will definitely not lie to them.

Just after ten people boarded the ship one after another, Zhao Yi had just stepped onto the deck when a man jumped out of the darkness next to him and jumped onto the ship first.

"Auntie, why did you come up here? Didn't I ask you to wait in the tent? It's very dangerous, okay?"

Zhao Yi saw clearly that the person coming was Sun Shangxiang. She was dressed as a soldier, with her long hair tucked into her helmet. She tilted her chin and said, "I am your personal soldier now, so naturally I have to follow you to see what you mean. What does the immortal magic look like, and where can one hundred thousand arrows come from?"

"Okay, stinky girl, you're not afraid of me. What are you afraid of? Let's get on the boat and set off!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Yitou, thirty ships filled with straw men slowly moved forward toward the dim river, aiming directly at Cao Jun's camp on the other side.

In the cabin, Zhao Yi took out the food and wine prepared in advance, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and smacked his lips intoxicatedly.

"Hey, tomorrow is the time to deliver 100,000 arrows. Are you still in the mood to drink here? Also, the fleet is sailing towards Cao Ying. Isn't it because you know you can't complete the task and want to surrender on the other side? "

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow and watch. Come, have a drink with me."

Zhao Yi rudely interrupted Sun Shangxiang, and the latter was surprised to find that she was not angry at all. If in the past, if any servant dared to contradict him with such words, she would have beaten him half to death, but in the face of Zhuge Kongming, who has a different personality and speaks vulgarly, felt that it was normal for him to say this.

Wulin, Cao Jun’s military camp.

Although many soldiers in the army were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea due to acclimatization, from the perspective of outsiders, Cao Jun's camp still appeared to be in order, with no obvious loopholes.

Some of the soldiers returned to their military tents to rest, while others, armed with spears and carrying bows and arrows, patrolled the river bank to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

The torches in the gaps in the camp pulled the figures of the patrolling soldiers, making a crackling sound, while the towering watchtowers standing on the river bank were always paying attention to the movements on the river.

At this moment, the soldiers on the watchtower took advantage of the moonlight falling on the river through the gaps in the clouds and saw something incredible.

They seemed to be boats, one after another, one next to the other, and the sides of the ship were densely covered with black shadows.

That's Soochow's warship!
