English Original
This is an episode from the Three Kingdoms period. Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to produce 100,000 arrows within ten days. Zhuge Liang surprisingly requested only three days and signed a pledge, accepting punishment for failure. Zhou Yu ridiculed him and secretly ordered his troops to withhold materials, while sending Lu Su to spy.
Zhuge Liang, aware of the plot, asked Lu Su for help. He requested 20 boats, each lined with straw scarecrows and manned by 30 soldiers, and swore Lu Su to secrecy. For two days, nothing seemed to happen.
In the early hours of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The boats, tied together, sailed toward Cao Cao's camp in a thick river mist. As they neared the enemy camp before dawn, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums, simulating an attack, while he and Lu Su calmly drank wine inside a boat.
Mistaking the noise for a surprise attack, Cao Cao's forces, unable to see through the fog, ordered 3,000 archers to shoot toward the sound. The straw scarecrows were quickly filled with arrows on one side. Zhuge Liang then had the fleet turn to expose the other side. By daybreak, both sides were covered. Zhuge Liang ordered a return, with soldiers shouting, "Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows!" They collected over 100,000 arrows upon return.

这是三国时期的一个故事。周瑜命令诸葛亮在十天内造出十万支箭。诸葛亮却出人意料地请求只需三天，并立下军令状，承诺若失败甘受惩罚。周瑜嘲笑他，并暗中命令部下不提供造箭材料，同时派鲁肃去监视他。
诸葛亮识破了这个计谋，他向鲁肃求助。他请求借二十条船，每条船配备三十名士兵并排满稻草人，并要求鲁肃保密。头两天，一切看似平静。
第三天凌晨，诸葛亮邀请鲁肃一同乘船。船队用绳索相连，在浓重的江雾中驶向曹操的营地。拂晓前靠近敌营时，诸葛亮命令士兵擂鼓呐喊，佯装进攻，而他自己则和鲁肃在船中安然饮酒。
曹军误以为遭遇突袭，因大雾看不清江面，便命令三千名弓箭手朝声音来源处放箭。稻草人一面很快插满了箭。诸葛亮随后下令调转船头，让另一面受箭。天亮时，两面都已箭满。诸葛亮下令返航，士兵们高喊：“谢谢曹丞相的箭！”回到营地后，他们收集了超过十万支箭。
