Immediately, Zhou Yu continued: "Although there are many Jiangdong disciples in Liu Xun's army who are good at swimming, the soldiers have not been trained in water warfare. To practice, I guess it will take at least six or seven months for Liu Xun to train the water army.

During this period of time, we still have a lot to do. Moreover, even if Liu Xun succeeds in training the navy, it may not be a strong army. Because we, the leading generals in Jiangdong, are number one in naval warfare."

Zhou Yu's words were extremely majestic and his analysis was accurate. At the end of the sentence, Zhou Yu was even more energetic.

"Everything depends on the Yangtze River and the generals in Jiangdong." Sun Quan became more excited after hearing this, took a deep breath, and said.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu and Lu Su both breathed a sigh of relief. They both saw that Sun Quan was not in high spirits, and this problem was serious.

So, they worked together to boost Sun Quan's confidence. Now, Zhou Yu's words seem to have paid off.

Again, as long as Sun Quan can fight, it is still unclear who will win in this war.

Just when Sun Quan was increasing his confidence, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded.

"Da da da."

Not long after, a soldier came in and reported: "Lord, Liu Xun sent someone to deliver a letter."

With that said, the soldier raised a letter and handed it to Sun Quan.

But there was a strange look on Sun Quan's face.

"Now I am facing off with Liu Xun from the north to the south, and there is only one battle left between us. Liu Xun sent me a letter, but I don't know what the purpose is?" Sun Quan asked.

"Maybe it's to persuade him to surrender." Lu Su was also surprised, but quickly explained.

"Maybe." Zhou Yu also nodded.

"You'll know after you open it and take a look," Lu Su said.

"Yes." Sun Quan nodded after hearing this, opened the envelope, and then took out the letter paper inside, and then unfolded it to read.

Seeing this, Sun Quan immediately raised his eyebrows.

I saw this is what the letter said.

"When I was in Lujiang, I heard that Zhongmou liked to go hunting. I resigned to attack the people who were close to him. I pointed my command to the east, and Sun Ce was killed. Now that there are 100,000 people in charge of the navy, Fang and Zhongmou joined Wu to hunt. I didn't know that Zhongmou

How is the fear in your heart?"

The tone of this letter can be said to be extremely arrogant, and it is extremely arrogant.

Although Sun Quan looks gentle and gentle, he actually has a brave and aggressive personality. However, the current situation has become too unbearable, so his confidence is somewhat lacking. But his lack of confidence does not mean that his personality has disappeared. Later generations of Sun Quan

It can be seen from the fact that he dared to face Cao Cao's millions of troops that Sun Quan was not a timid person.

Immediately, Sun Quan shouted loudly, with an extremely fierce expression: "Old Liu Xun, how dare you insult me ​​like this, I will definitely crush him to ashes one day."

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Zhou Yu's heart moved and he asked quickly.

"Gong Jin, please read it." Sun Quan handed the letter to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu stood up and took it. After reading it, not only was he not angry, but he laughed and said, "I want to congratulate your lord."

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile. "Haha, this is Liu Xun's ambition, and the villain's success is all in it. Since it is a villain's ambition, there must be an opportunity. If we defeat Liu Jun, the chance will naturally increase.

"

"That's it." Sun Quan was furious at first, but after hearing Sun Quan's explanation, he suddenly became enlightened.

To defeat Liu Xun, they must first build up their momentum. At this stage, they dare not attack Liu Xun to avenge him.

There is only one reason, and that is that Liu Xun is too strong on land. They dare not send troops. If they are defeated and die in a rage, it is not worth it.

Because of this, the two sides were very peaceful, and time continued to pass until another half a month passed.

On this day, Liu Xun was trying hard to recall the essence of the Battle of Chibi in his previous life and review it. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of Zhuge Liang's story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat. It seemed that he could give it a try, and he thought about it.

You have to do it, the cost is not high anyway. It doesn’t matter if you can’t borrow it, it’s just for fun.

Liu Xun was overjoyed and called Huang Xing and other generals. Seeing Huang Xing and the others arriving, Liu Xun said to Huang Xing with a smile: "General Huang, I have a plan. If you use it, you may gain something."

, of course, it doesn’t matter if you fail.”

Huang Xing was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly remembered his lord's achievements. As long as it was a strategy proposed by the lord, no matter how outrageous the strategy was, as long as it was implemented seriously, there would definitely be gains in the future.

After these battles, Liu Xun basically acted as a counselor and commander, and every strategy was very successful. Therefore, the generals paid great attention to his strategies.

Huang Xing couldn't help but become a little excited after hearing this, but he still held back his curiosity and waited for Liu Xun's next words.

"That's right..." Liu Xun said: "Bows and arrows are weapons used by naval forces in battles. What would happen if Sun Quan didn't have bows and arrows?"

Huang Xingxin said that such a question was too simple. Could it be that the lord had a deeper meaning? He immediately extended the question and showed his military ability, saying: "When fighting on water, it is impossible for the enemy to fight through water. If Sun Quan does not have bows and arrows, I will

The army can reflect on the river and cross the river easily. And since Sun Quan has lost the power of bows and arrows, our army can easily break through his camp."

Liu Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Now I have a plan to consume a lot of Sun Quan's bow and arrow reserves."

"What's the plan?" Huang Xing became excited and asked immediately.

Liu Xun smiled and pretended to be profound, and then said: "If this plan succeeds, Sun Quan will definitely be defeated."

Huang Xing was overjoyed. He thought for a moment and said, "My lord, please tell me first. I will complete the mission for you even if I risk my life."

Liu Xun was not a pretentious person, so he acted as wise as Zhuge Liang, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said confidently: "My plan is called borrowing arrows from a straw boat. It only needs to be like this...

The Shangcao people, like this...beat the drums and march. In the foggy weather, Sun Quan will definitely use arrows to repel the enemy. In this way, the goal will be achieved."

Huang Xing did not come alone. Gan Ning, Chen Peng and other generals were also present. Chen Peng immediately smiled and said: "My lord, this plan is very clever. When the time comes, it will definitely make Sun Quan dumb but he will have nowhere to vent...

….”

Huang Xing's heart moved, and he also smiled and said: "My lord, this plan is so wonderful that it will definitely come to an end."

Liu Xun couldn't help but feel a little dizzy after being complimented by them, because this was Zhuge Liang's plan, so it was definitely a sure thing. In addition, if the straw boat borrowed arrows, the loss would not be big if it failed. So he said: "Huang Xing, wait until the straw boat is ready."

If you go in the middle of the night, you must choose when the fog is thickest..."

"Ruo" Huang Xing accepted the order very excitedly and immediately went down to prepare.

In the middle of the night, the night was so dark and foggy that it was really hard to see. Even a person holding a torch couldn't see clearly the person three meters away from the other side.

At this moment, Huang Xing personally led more than 300 elite soldiers on the river, driving more than 100 small boats, and sailed quietly to the other side. The boats were filled with scarecrows. Among these scarecrows, there were two rowers and one hand.

Take the drumstick and sit in the middle of the boat holding the big drum.

They were all covered in armor, even their heads were tightly covered, and there were scarecrows on both sides to cover them, so there was no danger even when it was time to release arrows.

river bank

"My lord, this strategy is so awesome, I will definitely be able to deceive Sun Quan's arrows when the time comes," Gan Ning said excitedly.

This was Zhuge Kongming's plan, so Liu Xun was naturally full of confidence and said: "The fog is thick, and Sun Quan will definitely order the arrows to be fired if our troops attack the shore defense line."

Just like that, Liu Xun and everyone watched Huang Xing's fleet disappear into the heavy fog.

Liu Xun has always been a man of enjoyment. In order to show his inscrutableness, he specially ordered his attendants to arrange tables and chairs, and ordered fine wine to be brought in, so that more lieutenants and officers could witness the miracle.

After the drinks were prepared, Liu Xun asked everyone to sit down and said: "Come on, everyone, sit down and drink some wine to keep warm, and wait for the good news..."

The generals always knew that their lord was easy-going, so they were not polite at the moment. They sat down and drank some wine with Liu Xun. However, they looked into the river from time to time, and all they could see was a white mist, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

…

At five o'clock that day, Huang Xing led the fleet and gradually arrived at the center of the river. When he heard this plan earlier, he was also doubtful because such a situation had never happened in the art of war since ancient times. But this was said by the Lord.

There must be no problem. Huang Xing fulfilled his duties faithfully. After the boats crossed the middle of the river, he ordered the boats from left to right to line up.

He beat the drum himself on his own ship, and the ships in other places listened to the orders from his ship and also beat the drums.

At one time, the sound of more than a hundred drums rumbling in unison was earth-shattering.

Gan Ning, who was on the shore, heard the sound of a hundred drums and the darkness all around. He couldn't help but put down his wine glass in fright and said: "My lord, if Sun Quan sends troops to go to war, what will he do?"

Liu Xun drank the wine and said calmly: "Hahaha, Sun Quan has no advantage in military strength. He occupies the convenience of the river bank. He will definitely not dare to send out ships in the thick fog, and will definitely use bows and arrows to consume our troops.

Come, come, come, don't worry, drink this cup to the full, and there will be news soon."

Gan Ning and others felt very guilty. They were not as calm as Liu Xun. At this moment, they were already flustered by the beating of drums, so they reluctantly raised their glasses and drank it all.

Everyone couldn't help but think to themselves: "My lord can be calm because he is a god and they are not."

On the other hand, Sun Quan's camp is on the other side of the river.

The sudden sound of drums and shouts sounded like endless troops were about to come ashore, which really frightened the soldiers of Sun Quan's army. Lu Su, who was keeping watch at night, hurriedly reported to Sun Quan.

At this time, Zhou Yu also received the news and hurriedly came to Sun Quan's tent.

"Lord, this must be Liu Xun's intention to attack our army's river bank defense line at night, so we should immediately send troops and horses to intercept it by boat!" Zhou Yu said.

Lu Su disagreed with Zhou Yu's opinion. In his opinion, the thick fog was not conducive to his own defense, and it was also not conducive to Liu Xun's attack. He said: "The heavy fog filled the Pan River, and the enemy troops suddenly arrived without warning."
