Liu Bei took the money he fooled from Liu Qi and began to recruit soldiers and train soldiers. In order to improve the military combat power as soon as possible, Liu Yi discussed with Liu Bei that he specially established a military academy field. The water camp trained by the navy was used for training for recruits and quickly formed combat power. At the same time, the previous plan to establish a chain restaurant was not to ruin Liu Qi, but it also began to implement it. Five million yuan was spent like flowing water. It was necessary to convert the money into combat power in the shortest time, so naturally he could not save money at this time.

Although Liu Bei was used to being poor, he was really not ruthless when he was time to spend money. He had never saved money from Liu Yi's workshop and the dock.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang also heard inspiring news. Sun Quan had decided to resist Cao. This was unintentional for Liu Bei and Liu Qi, who were almost forced into a desperate situation.

Jiangdong, Chaisang.

"Kong Ming, I heard that there was a strange general in Jiangxia who called himself a descendant of the Mo family. He had the ability to turn decay into magic. What was created in the Tiangongfang? I wonder if it was a miraculous effect?" On this day, Zhou Yu asked curiously when chatting with Zhuge Liang.

There is no such intrigue as in the Romance. In fact, Zhou Yu is now under one person in Jiangdong. Even Liu Bei has to give in to him. Moreover, Zhou Yu is a Confucian general with a grand and elegant temperament. Although he appreciates Zhuge Liang's talent, he does not feel inferior, nor does he be jealous. In fact, if such a top talent is really narrow-minded, he will not achieve much success. When he has nothing to do these days, he has had a good conversation with Zhuge Liang.

"The governor knows Bo Yuan?" Zhuge Liang smiled and sat in the guest seat, gently shaking his feather fan.

"To be honest, I, a wealthy merchant in Jiangdong, bought furniture in Tiangongfang. I once ordered someone to invite him, but unfortunately I couldn't invite him." Zhou Yu did not hide it. At that time, someone sent him the goods. At that time, the properties of the products in Tiangongfang had broken through twenty points, and the effect was obvious. Zhou Yu naturally noticed it, so he ordered Lu Meng to check the invitation. At this moment, he heard what Zhuge Liang said and said with great interest: "Listen to Kong Ming's words, are you quite intimate with this person?"

"Boyuan made a living in Wolonggang in the past and lived next to Liang. This man was not only proficient in craftsmanship, but also quite talented. I wonder if the governor had heard that Cao's army suffered consecutive setbacks in Jingling last month, which was defeated by this man, defeating Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, and three generals of the Cao army, Le Jin, captured Le Jin alive." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Is it really a successor to the Mo family?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was a person who cherished talents. He thought he was just a master craftsman and had the best results. He was unwilling to come and there was no loss. But now it seems that such talents really should be invited to Jiangdong to serve the Sun family.

"Yes or no, do the governor think it is important?" Zhuge Liang asked ambiguously.

Zhou Yu was stunned and smiled and said, "What Kong Ming said is right, it doesn't matter."

Now that Liu Yi's reputation has gradually become popular, even Cao's army has retreated, it has proved his ability. As for whether he is a descendant of the Mo family, it is no longer important. A declining school can only make Liu Yi seem mysterious at most. Liu Yi's own value has now surpassed the halo brought to him by the Mo family.

"It seems that this person has already joined Liu Yuzhou." Zhou Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile.

"My Lord invited me several times and came to my door in person before he invited him." Zhuge Liang sighed. Liu Bei's biggest advantage compared to Cao Cao and Sun Quan is that he can put down his airs and give him enough respect and attention, and he is like this to himself and Liu Yi.

Zhou Yu was silent when he heard this. After a moment, he sighed quietly, and then smiled and said with a sarcastic smile: "Now it is the time to fight against Cao's army. Why didn't Kong Ming invite this person to join forces to fight against Cao?"

"I don't want to do it, but I can't do it." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The governor didn't know that although Bo Yuan was talented, he was quite lazy. If my Lord had not invited him several times, he wouldn't want to leave his Mocheng. When he came this time, Liang originally wanted to take him with him, but he was unwilling to travel."

This is naturally an excuse. It is true that Liu Yi doesn't want to come, but Zhuge Liang doesn't want Liu Yi to come to Jiangdong with him.

"I have a book case made by Tiangongfang in my tent, so I can calm my mind and calm my mind when I use it." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and asked with a smile: "But I don't know what other things this person does are so magical?"

"This fan is what he did." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and smiled at Zhou Yu, "Do you want to see it?"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang's feather fan in his hand, nodded, and ordered the waiter beside him to take it.

Zhuge Liang smiled and handed the feather fan to the waiter, then smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "Governor, be careful. Although this fan is good, it will lose its demeanor if used too much."

Zhou Yu didn't believe it, so he took the feather fan and looked carefully. The workmanship was only good, but it was not exquisite. It was quite solid and there was no distinctiveness. Then he held the feather fan in his hand and shook it like Zhuge Liang.

"Huh~"

The strong wind blew on his face, his hair was full of flamboyance, but Zhou Yu's expression was quite cold and handsome. He reached out and stroked his long hair naturally, lowered his head and looked at the feather fan, nodded and said, "It's really wonderful."

"What a pity." Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed: "This person has extraordinary craftsmanship, and now there is a shortage of arrows in the army. I originally wanted to ask this strange man to come and help."

"If it's just an arrow cluster, it's not difficult. Liang is willing to do it for you." Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhou Yu, knew that he was not giving up, and said with a smile.

"Kong Ming's method must be different from ordinary people." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang. Although he didn't know how Zhuge Liang got the arrow, he probably didn't really make the arrow cluster.

"Although Liang is a little craftsman, he is not as good as Bo Yuan, so he made a clever smile on the Governor?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile.

"I think Kong Ming's method must be unusual. I don't have to send craftsmen to you." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with interest and said.

"It's true." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I just want to borrow thirty ships from the governor, and each ship will send thirty soldiers."

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Good plan."

He looked up at the sky and smiled and said, "Five days later, there will be heavy fog in Jiangling. I wonder if Yu will be lucky enough to meet Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Liang knew that once he made a request, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Zhou Yu. He smiled and ended up with the feather fan sent back by the waiter. He shook it lightly twice, nodded and said, "I really want it, I dare not ask for it."

"Okay, five days later, Yu will go with Kong Ming to explore the truth of Cao's army." Zhou Yu smiled.

Although there has never been as dirty as mentioned in the Romance, this is an invisible confrontation between the two. Even if such top wise men are not inferior to each other, they will definitely compete in secret. They have nothing to do with the power of both sides, but they are just like the struggle between warriors.

"The governor is worth ten thousand gold, and I am willing to go with Liang, but this kind of courage is very unique." Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled.

At this moment, Zhou Yu prepared a warship for Zhuge Liang, asking Lu Meng to order nine hundred men and wait. Five days later, the two of them took a boat to Cao Jun Water Village. When they arrived in Jiangling, it was already late at night. As Zhou Yu expected, there was heavy fog on the surface of the river and it was difficult to see things.

Zhuge Liang ordered people to approach Cao's camp and shouted, but they did not get too close. Cao's army heard the noise. Because the fog was so heavy, they dared not fight easily, so they shot with bows and arrows.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu sat opposite each other in the cabin, listening to the dense sound of arrows outside the cabin, without any panic. They just drank and talked about the past and present, as if they were not outside the Cao army camp, but in their own hall.

"Kong Ming thinks, how many arrows can Cao's army bring to me this time?" Zhou Yu held the wine cup and looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"After this night, there will always be a cluster of 100,000 arrows. I wonder if it can be made up for the lack of the governor?" Zhuge Liang took a sip of the wine slowly, then put down the wine cup. He was used to drinking the wine taken out of the wine cellar made by Liu Yi. Although the wine in Jiangdong is good, Zhuge Liang's mouth has become much more picky now, but he is unwilling to drink too much.

"It's enough!" Zhou Yu smiled indifferently: "The long night is long, and at this time, I don't have the intention to sleep. Can Kong Ming be willing to play a game with me?"

"The governor has such a good mood. How dare Liang refuse to obey?" Zhuge Liang agreed with a smile.

There was a waiter who put a chessboard on two people, and after they guessed, they began to make a move.

Zhou Yu pressed the black piece on the chessboard and looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming's plan is quite amazing, Yu is not as good as it is."

"It was also inspired by others. Liang dared not take credit for it." Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu followed and gave a son: "There are strange people under Liu Yuzhou's tent?"

"This was originally a tired military strategy used by Bo Yuan when he was guarding Mo City. Liang made a little modification and used it to show his bad luck, but it made the governor laugh." Zhuge Liang smiled and made another move, and at the same time told Zhou Yu about Liu Yi's defeat of Xiahou that day. Although he was not in Mo City at that time, Deng Ai once said that Liu Yi used this method when he broke the bandits in the village, and he could probably infer it. When he talked about it, he seemed as if he was there at that time.

The two of them made a quick move at this time. From the chessboard, they seemed to be on their own and didn't care about each other at all, just like two armies confronting each other.

"When Kong Ming said this, Yu wanted to see this person even more." Zhou Yu lost a son and sighed.

"After this battle, the governor can go to Xiakou and ask Bo Yuan to cross the river, but he is afraid he will not want to." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Zhou Yu was obviously interested in poaching, but Zhuge Liang praised Liu Yi so much, so he was trying to show his attention for Liu Yi, and at the same time he also announced that Liu Yi had been loyal to Liu Bei, so how could he let the other party poach?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I have time to go to the meeting in the future."

Zhou Yu had enough confidence in this battle, and seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked: "Whether the light boat Kong Ming rode on when he came to Chaisang that day was also the work of this person."

Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched. He was very devastated that day. He set out before Lu Su, but arrived in Chaisang a hour earlier than Lu Su. However, his image at that time was not good. He heard this now, he just nodded but said nothing more.

"Can he ask him to build more of these light boats?" Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with divine light, and his eyes were brightly looking at Zhuge Liang.

"Liang has already sent a letter back. Bo Yuan had already started building when Liang came to Chaisang. Now there are a hundred ships. I wonder if they are enough?" Zhuge Liang nodded. It seemed that Liu Yi had guessed the key to this battle, which made Zhuge Liang look at Liu Yi much more highly.

"It seems that this person's ability is not inferior to Kong Ming." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang in amazement when he heard this.
