【正确答案】 1、正确答案：Soon after all the officers were summoned to the main tent and K"ung-ming"s presence was desired. He went contentedly enough. When all were seated Chou Yu suddenly addressed K"ung-ming, saying, " I am going to fight a battle with the enemy soon on the water: what weapons are the best?" "On the great river arrows are the best, " said K"ung-ming. " Your opinion and mine agree. But at the moment we are short of them. I wish you would undertake to supply about a hundred thousand for the naval fight. As it is for the public service you will not decline, I hope!" " Whatever task the Commander-in-Chief lays upon me I must certainly try to perform, " replied K"ung-ming. " May I enquire by what date you require the hundred thousand arrows?""Could you have them be ready in ten days?""The enemy will be here very soon: ten days will be too late, " said K"ung-ming. " In how many days do you estimate the arrows can be ready?" "Let me have three days: then you may send for your hundred thousand of arrows. " "There is no joking in war time. " said the General. " Dare I joke with the Commander-in-Chief? Give me a formal military order and if I have not completed the task in three days I will take my punishment. " Lu Su said, " Don"t you think there is some deceit about this?""I think he has sighed his own death warrant, "said Chou. "Without being pressed in the least he asked for a formal order in the face of the whole assembly. Even if he grew a pair of wings he could not escape. Only I will just order the workmen to delay him as much as they can, and not supply him with materials, so that he is sure to fail. And then, when the certain penalty is incurred, who can criticize? You can go and enquire about it all and keep me informed. "
