Lu Su finally told Zhou Yu about the conversation in the cabin.
If there is a sudden change among the allies, Lu Su will definitely discuss it with Zhou Yu.
As for Zhou Yu, he was shocked when he heard this.
"That's just Zhang Yuanchang, how come Zhuge Kongming can see through my plan?!" Zhou Yu said with a solemn face.
Lu Su doesn't understand this.
After getting along with each other these days, Lu Su can clearly draw the conclusion that Zhuge Liang is much better than Zhang Xi.
Why did the governor say that Zhang Xi was better than Mr. Kong Ming? !
Well. After all, the two sides directly "confronted" different characters.
Zhou Yu had fought against Zhang Xi in E County, and had a certain understanding of Zhang Xi's military use, but he didn't have much contact with Zhuge Liang, so it was normal to not understand him.
As for Lu Su, his main contact person during this period was Zhuge Liang, and he knew very well how difficult and powerful Zhuge Liang was. As for Zhang Xi, except for a bit of talk in Chaisang Sun Quan's courtyard, which almost ruined the Sun-Liu alliance, he didn't leave any good impression on Lu Su at all.
But no matter who the two thought was stronger, the sudden strategic vision shown by the two also caused some minor differences in their subsequent reactions.
"If this is the case, we should get rid of him early!" Zhou Yu said coldly, saying something very outrageous.
Lu Su immediately disagreed.
"Gong Jin think twice, the war is imminent, why should we kill our allies first?!" Lu Su quickly dissuaded him and said, "Furthermore, all the food and fodder for our navy came from Jiangxia, and the Jiangxia navy is also in our army. If we are good at killing our allies, our army will not say anything about defeating Cao Cao, but we are afraid of chaos when the army is neutral, and our retreat will not be guaranteed."
At this time, Lu Su and Zhou Yu both recognized the importance of the Sun-Liu Alliance.
But Lu Su and Zhou Yu are somewhat different.
Zhou Yu believed that the alliance between Sun and Liu was only a temporary alliance, and both sides would fall out sooner or later. In this case, of course, the sooner Liu Bei could be weakened, the better.
But Lu Su is not like that.
Lu Su insisted on the Sun-Liu alliance because he considered that Cao Cao was powerful and a temporary defeat might not change the world situation, so it was necessary to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance for a long time.
Unless in this battle, Zhou Yu can capture and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop, leaving the Northland leaderless and divided again. In this case, there is really no need for the Sun-Liu Alliance to exist.
But this kind of thing is indeed unpredictable, especially before defeating Cao, Lu Su did not want the Sun-Liu alliance to break up.
But Zhou Yu said, "Don't worry, Zijing. I also know your concerns, but... hum, I have my own justice to kill him. I will discipline Liu Beili and I will not dare to break the covenant!"
Lu Su wanted to persuade him again, but looking at Zhou Yu's current appearance, and thinking about his status as a military supervisor, Lu Su's Zanjun captain was not even a bit worse than Zhou Yu's Zuo Dudu.
Moreover, even if Lu Su had the same official position as Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu would not listen to Lu Su. Even if Lu Su and Zhou Yu had different opinions, Sun Quan would only trust Zhou Yu more, so whether to persuade or not is of little significance.
Of course, if Zhou Yu could really kill Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi in a way that would leave Liu Bei speechless, then Lu Su would not necessarily object.
The Sun-Liu alliance that Lu Su insisted on always focused on Sun Quan's interests. It was best for Liu Bei to remain half-dead in order to become a good ally of Jiangdong.
Therefore, Zhou Yu persisted and said that he had a solution, so Lu Su just waited and watched.
As a result, Lu Su didn't expect that Zhou Yu's idea was to ask Zhuge Liang to supervise the making of 100,000 arrows within ten days.
It is simply impossible to supervise the production of 100,000 arrows in ten days.
One hundred thousand arrows, even if one thousand craftsmen are recruited, will take at least twenty days from picking the wooden poles to final shaping.
The problem is that there are not a thousand craftsmen in the army camp, only more than 300 people.
In other words, if these craftsmen really had to make 100,000 arrows, it would take two full months, so they might as well have them shipped from Chaisang.
This is a common sense question. Zhou Yu used this kind of question to embarrass Zhuge Liang, but he actually had the nerve to say that he was "just". Even if this matter was put in front of Sun Quan, Sun Quan would be embarrassed to say that his governor was "just."
Lu Su originally wanted to dissuade Zhou Yu from doing this, but it was a bit embarrassing. Commander, if we do this, we will be laughed at by the heroes of the world.
But what Lu Su didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang actually agreed.
Zhuge Lian not only agreed, but even said that he could purchase 100,000 arrows in just three days. If he did not have 100,000 arrows, he would be willing to be punished by military law.
Zhou Yu had never seen a rabbit jumping into a trap. He immediately asked Zhuge Liang to sign the military order, fearing that he would regret it.
Lu Su was still in shock at the moment and wanted to stop Zhuge Liang, but was stopped by Zhou Yu's eyes.
After Zhuge Liang signed the military order and left gracefully, Lu Su stood up, complained about Zhou Yu, and said, "The governor's actions were inappropriate. It is difficult to supervise the construction of 100,000 arrows in ten days, let alone three days?!"
But Zhou Yu sneered and said, "Three days is not what I said, but what Zhuge Liang said. Please go away. Zhuge Liang has all the things he needs to make arrows. Don't let him deny it." Depend on!"
Lu Su looked depressed and entangled, and finally turned into a sigh and turned to look for Zhuge Liang.
As for Zhuge Liang, despite how confident he pretended to be in front of Zhou Yu, he still had a headache when he returned to his cabin.
Zhuge Liang had long known that showing off his talents in front of Lu Su would cause trouble, but he did not expect that Governor Zhou was really ruthless and showed no mercy.
It is simply impossible to make one hundred thousand arrows in three days.
It takes three days to find a way to get back 100,000 arrows. There is a way to do this, but it depends on whether God cooperates.
Although Zhuge Liang has lived in Jingxiang for a long time and is familiar with the climate of the Yangtze River, God sometimes has a temper.
If I had known better, I shouldn't have been pretentious about three days. If it had been ten days, I would have been able to get back these 100,000 arrows.
But now that the words have been spoken and the military order has been signed, let's make plans again when Lu Su comes.
After a while, Lu Su came and brought Zhang Xi back from the military camp.
Originally, Zhang Xi was in the army, helping Zhou Yu check the training status of the army's sergeants.
Although he was given methods to train soldiers, Zhou Yu was still worried that the sergeants would not be trained properly, so he asked Zhang Xi to help him take a look.
And Zhang Xi didn't want to stay on the boat every day like Zhuge Liang, so he agreed to Zhou Yu and go for a walk in the military camp when he had time, but was pulled back by Lu Su.
Along the way, Zhang Xi had already heard from Lu Su that Zhou Yu was going to order Zhuge Liang to supervise the making of 100,000 arrows. Zhang Xi understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and borrowed the arrows from the straw boat.
This is another story that Luo Guanzhong made up by merging Sun Quan's ship to inspect the enemy's camp and Zhang Xuncao's borrowing arrows, and forced it on Zhuge Liang. It does not exist in history.
But now, why don’t we go on a drama line? There will be something good to watch.
Zhang Xi was not nervous at all. After all, he knew the cause and effect of this matter, and even knew that Zhuge Liang really borrowed more than 100,000 arrows in the end. Of course he was not worried.
But Zhang Xi still has a little doubt about this matter, so he wants to see how Zhuge Liang operates in this time and space.
Therefore, Lu Su was very anxious, Zhuge Liang was a little anxious, but Zhang Xi was not anxious at all, and was still happy to watch Zhuge Liang's acting.
But Zhuge Liang was really not acting at the moment. Although he had thought of borrowing arrows in Zhou Yu's military tent at that time, he was not sure whether he could succeed or not. It depended on God's cooperation.
As a result, Zhang Xi was still happily watching his own jokes and didn't want to talk to him.
Lu Su chatted with Zhuge Liang for a while, and found that Zhuge Liang kept complaining that he was not strict with his words, which caused Zhou Yu to have murderous intentions. Lu Su was also wronged. How could he not tell Zhou Yu about this kind of thing? Did he really regard himself as a murderer? Liu Bei's people? !
But when Zhuge Liang said this, Lu Su really couldn't say anything. After all, the two of them had a good relationship and were considered friends. Lu Su himself felt a little unkind when he thought about it.
Therefore, after gritting his teeth, Lu Su advised Zhuge Liang to return to Xiakou first if it didn't work. Anyway, Zhou Yu would not fall out with Liu Beijun because of this.
Lu Su also took great pains to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance.
But how could Zhuge Liang leave? If he ran back to Xiakou, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Seeing that Lu Su already had compassion, Zhuge Liang also knew that it was almost done, so he hoped that Lu Su could allocate the Jiangxia navy to him. He did not need all of the Jiangxia navy, only half of it was enough.
This kind of matter involving the deployment of troops must be reported to Zhou Yu for approval. After all, Zhou Yu is the supreme commander of the coalition forces, and it is also written in the covenant that Jiangxia navy will be deployed by Zhou Yu.
But on the one hand, Lu Su felt guilty, and on the other hand, he had Zhou Yu's military order to "fully cooperate" with Zhuge Liang in making arrows. Therefore, it was not impossible for Lu Su to adjust the ships.
Another one is the Jiangxia Navy. Although it is nominally under the control of Zhou Yu, if Zhuge Liang really orders the Jiangxia Navy to cooperate with him, the Jiangxia Navy will not ignore Zhou Yu and will still send troops when it is time to send troops.
It's nothing more than a name now, so you won't have to worry about it in the future.
In this case, it's not a big deal for Lu Su to cooperate.
Lu Su left and was busy coordinating the affairs of Jiangxia Navy.
As for Zhuge Liang, when he saw Lu Su leaving, he immediately glared at Zhang Xi angrily and said, "Just now, Yuan Chang didn't speak for me, so why are he just watching the fun?!"
Zhang Xi suddenly became happy and replied, "The military advisor is already confident, and brother Zijing has also agreed to help, what else does Xi need to say?!"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Xi with interest and asked, "What does Yuan Chang mean by this?! He supervised the construction of 100,000 arrows in three days. Liang really has no clue. Please ask Yuan Chang to teach me?!" "
Zhang Xi smiled and said, "Commander, don't try to trick me. If it's ten days, Na Xi may have something to think about, but for three days, you can just act according to the counselor's plan, Xi can't help."
Zhuge Liang became even more curious. He didn't ask Zhang Xi how he knew he had a solution.
"If it's ten days, does Yuan Chang have the means to supervise the making of 100,000 arrows?! You need to know that there are only more than 300 craftsmen in the army. Does Yuan Chang really have the means?!"
Zhuge Liang is really more concerned about this.
Supervise the construction of 100,000 arrows in ten days, and there are only more than 300 craftsmen in the army. How is this possible? !
Zhang Xi was happy, and there was something that Zhuge Liang didn't know either.
But Zhang Xi is really sure about this.
"Does the military advisor know the method of making ordnance during the Qin Dynasty?!"
