諸葛亮和周瑜約定三天造好十萬(wàn)支箭，并且立下了軍令狀。

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu agreed to build 100000 arrows in three days and made a military order.

周瑜叫魯肅去探聽諸葛亮要怎樣在三天之類造好十萬(wàn)支箭。魯肅見了諸葛亮，諸葛亮請(qǐng)魯肅幫他的忙，向他借了船、六百名軍士、青布幔子和一千多個(gè)草把子，還叫魯肅替他保密。

Zhou Yu asked Lu Su to find out how Zhuge Liang would build 100000 arrows in three days. Lu Su meets Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang asks him to help him. He borrows a boat, 600 soldiers, green cloth curtains and more than 1000 straw handles from him. He also asks Lu Su to keep secrets for him.

魯肅按照諸葛亮說的全部都準(zhǔn)備好了，諸葛亮在第三天四更的時(shí)候秘密地把魯肅請(qǐng)到船里和他一起去取箭。諸葛亮吩咐把二十條船用繩索連接起來，朝北岸開去。

Lu Su is ready according to Zhuge Liang's words. Zhuge Liang secretly invited Lu Su to the boat to take the arrow with him at four o'clock on the third day. Zhuge Liang ordered 20 boats to be connected by ropes and set off for the north bank.

這時(shí)大霧漫天，天還沒有亮，船已經(jīng)靠近了曹軍的水寨。諸葛亮下令把船頭朝西，船尾朝東，一字排開，又命令船上的軍士擂鼓吶喊。

At this time, the fog was all over the sky, and the ship was near the water stronghold of Cao Jun before dawn. Zhuge Liang ordered the bow of the boat to face west and the stern to face east. He ordered the soldiers on the boat to beat drums and shout.

曹操聽到有鼓聲和吶喊聲，就下令叫一萬(wàn)多名弓弩手一齊朝江中放箭，諸葛亮又下令把船調(diào)過來，依舊擂鼓吶喊。

Hearing drums and shouts, Cao Cao ordered more than 10000 bowmen to shoot arrows in the river. Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to be transferred, still beating drums and shouts.

天快亮了，船上的草把子上都插滿了箭，足有十萬(wàn)余支，接著二十多條船駛回了南岸。諸葛亮如期完成了任務(wù)，魯肅告訴周瑜借箭的經(jīng)過，周瑜自嘆不如諸葛亮。

It was almost dawn. The straw handles on the boat were full of arrows. There were more than 100000. Then more than 20 boats sailed back to the south bank. Zhuge Liang completed the task as scheduled. Lu Su told Zhou Yu about the process of borrowing arrows. Zhou Yu lamented that he was inferior to Zhuge Liang.
