周瑜妒忌诸葛亮的才干，要他在十天之内造好十万支箭，以此陷害他。诸葛亮答应三天造好并立下了军令状。事后，他请鲁肃帮他借船、草把子等受箭用的东西。
Zhou Yu was envious of Zhuge Liang's ability and asked him to build 100000 arrows in ten days to frame him. Zhuge Liang promised to build it in three days and made a military order. Afterwards, he asked Lu Su to lend him boats, straw handles and other things for arrows.
直到第三天四更时分，诸葛亮才请鲁肃一起去取箭。这时，大雾漫天，江上连对面都看不清人。这时天还没亮，诸葛亮就下令开船了，并让士兵擂鼓呐喊。曹操见了，以为有兵来攻，就下令说，雾大，看不清虚实，先不要轻易出动，叫弓弩手来，让他们朝来船方向射箭。过了一会儿，太阳出来了，雾还没散。船的两边都插满了箭。诸葛亮下令回去，并让士兵们喊“谢曹丞相借箭！”这时曹操才发觉上当了，但想追也来不及了。十万支箭终于“借”到了手。当周瑜得知借箭的经过后，长叹一声：“诸葛亮神机妙算，我真比不上他！”
It wasn't until four o'clock on the third day that Zhuge Liang asked Lu Su to take the arrow. At this time, the fog all over the sky, the river can not even see the opposite people. Before dawn, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to sail and let the soldiers beat drums and shout. When Cao Cao saw it, he thought that there were soldiers coming to attack. He ordered that the fog was heavy and he could not see the real situation. First, don't go out easily. Call the bowmen and let them shoot in the direction of the coming ship. After a while, the sun came out, and the fog was still there. The ship was riddled with arrows on both sides. Zhuge Liang ordered them to go back and let the soldiers shout "thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for borrowing the arrow!" At this time, Cao Cao found that he had been cheated, but he could not catch up with him. At last, 100000 arrows were borrowed. When Zhou Yu learned about the passing of the borrowed arrow, he sighed: "ZHUGE Liang is so clever, I can't match him!"
