Zhuge Liang orders Lu Su’s servant to take with him the token of authority to go on an assignment. The servant comes back from his mission in the afternoon and reports the completion of the assignment. In the evening Zhuge Liang invites Lu Su to dinner on the big boat. Lu Su imagines that there will only be one big boat there, but surprisingly, there are forty huge boats. Later, as they set out from their naval camp, Zhuge Liang intentionally frightens Lu Su. He tells him that now these boats will set out for Cao Cao’s naval camp to be butchered, and he is taking Lu Su with him to die. This way he will not be alone on his way to the nether world. Lu Su wants Zhuge Liang to turn back immediately. Suddenly there are sounds of war drums, and Lu Su faints. Cao Cao’s water borne forces block them by shooting a lot of arrows and send reports to Cao Cao. Originally Cao Cao had planned to send troops to meet the attack. However, a thick fog makes this impossible. The only solution is to send more bowmen to block the boats coming from the east side of the river.
