Excuse me, what is the geographical principle of Zhuge Liang's borrowing from the east wind in Battle of Red Cliffs?

Chibi is located in the subtropical monsoon climate, controlled by the Mongolian-Siberian high in Asia in winter, and the northwest wind blows frequently. If fire attack is used rashly, the fireboat will be blown by the northwest wind to stop at the south bank of the Yangtze River (Chibi), and Cao Cao's garrison is in the Wulin on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Fire attack will be effective only when the southeast wind blows.

Zhuge Liang volunteered to write to Zhou Yu, and he could ask the southeast wind for three days. Zhou Yu had no other better way, so he approved Zhuge Liang's practice of seeking the east wind at the seven-star altar in Nanping Mountain. After practicing for three days, the southeast wind was strong, and Sun Liu's joint army immediately launched a fire attack and defeated Cao Jun.

The influence of Battle of Red Cliffs:

Battle of Red Cliffs's failure made Cao Cao lose the possibility of unifying the whole country in a short time, while Sun and Liu started the development of their respective forces through Battle of Red Cliffs's victory. After Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, his strength grew rapidly and he made a profit. Sun Quan led the army to attack Hefei many times, which was unfavorable in several wars. After returning to the north, Cao Cao rested for two years.

Two years later, Cao Cao's Western Expedition defeated Ma Chao, Han Sui and others in Guanzhong, and then he went south on a large scale to pacify Sun Quan. This war formed the embryonic form of the third part of the world and laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries.
