Zhuge Liang sent messengers to lobby Wu and Shu to unite against Cao. Zhou Yu was jealous of Zhuge Liang's cleverness and always wanted to find an excuse to kill him. At a banquet, Zhou Yu deliberately said to Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Kong Ming, you are right when I recite a poem. If you are right, you will get a reward. How about beheading if you can't? " Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently: "There is no joke in the army. Please give an order." Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said, "Water is a stream, and it is ridiculous without water. If you remove the water from the stream and add the bird, it is a chicken. A successful cat is better than a tiger, and a falling phoenix is worse than a chicken. " Zhuge Liang said casually: "There is wood, it is chess, and there is no wood, it is also chess. If the wood on the edge of the chess is removed, it is bullying. Longyou shallow water was beaten by shrimp, and the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. "
Zhou Yu was furious, but because of what he said before, it was inconvenient to attack. He added: "If you have hands, you will twist, and if you don't have hands, you will be ugly. If you remove the twisted hand, you are a girl. There are ugly women in Longzhong, and it is difficult to choose one in a hundred. " Zhuge Liang heard this and laughed at the ugliness of his wife Huang Achou. He immediately replied: "There is wood, and it is also a bridge. If there is no wood, it is also Joe. If you remove the wood from the bridge, you will be charming. In the middle of the river, Wu Qianjin is big and Xiao Qiao, and Cao Cao's bronze sparrow locks two jiao. " Zhou Yu knew that he was mocking his wife, and he was furious and wanted to attack several times.
When the situation was tense, Lu Su said aside: "There is wood and it is also a trough, and there is no wood and it is also Cao. If the wood at the edge of the trough is removed, it will be bad to add rice. Today's plan is to break Cao Cao, and Long Hudou is not bad! " When the poem is over, everyone cheers together.
