Battle of Red Cliffs, cao cao really don't know each other will use fire?

Battle of Red Cliffs, cao cao really don't know each other will use fire? Let me introduce the relevant contents in detail for you.

Battle of Red Cliffs is the most famous battle among the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao suffered setbacks and lost an excellent opportunity to unify the country. Sun Liu's allied forces won a great victory, and since then, the world has been divided into three pillars. It can be said that without the victory of Battle of Red Cliffs's Sun and Liu armies, there would be no heroes in the Three Kingdoms era.

In the analysis and summary of later generations, Cao Cao was defeated by millions of soldiers and less than 100 thousand Sun and Liu Lianjun, but the reason was that Cao Cao was defeated by the alliance of Sun and Liu because of his plan to connect ships with chains.

This is almost facebook's cognition. But is it really that simple? Will Cao Cao really be so hasty in the great war that concerns his domination of the world? Tens of thousands of troops fought hundreds of thousands of troops. Is it really that simple for Sun Liu to win by setting fire?

Of course not.

Let's go back and command Battle of Red Cliffs. Many of us who have never led troops to fight have seen Cao Cao's army with chains and boats, so much wood and good materials for setting fires. There must be many people who have to come up with such a plan. Cao Cao's generation is fierce, and his advisers are like clouds. Nobody thought of that?

Of course someone thought of it.

After Cao Cao adopted the strategy of connecting ships with chains, Cheng Yu, a counselor, said to Cao Cao, "Ships are all connected with chains. Although they are very stable, if the other side attacks with fire, there is no way to avoid it and we have to guard against it! " (The boats are all chained, so they are steady; But if he attacks with fire, it is difficult to avoid and cannot be prevented. )

Xun You also thought of this and seconded it, but Cao Cao's response was to laugh it off. "Although Cheng Zhongde has thought for a long time, he still can't see the place."

Cao Cao further explained that whoever attacks with fire must rely on the wind (whoever attacks with fire must rely on the wind). We can see that Cao Cao is an experienced strategist and deeply understands the weather conditions in which the fire attack takes effect.

Cao Cao went on to say that it is the middle of winter and the northwest wind blows in winter. My (Cao Cao's) army is stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Sun Liujun is stationed on the southeast bank of the Yangtze River. In winter, there is only northwest wind and no southeast wind. If we set it on fire, we can only burn ourselves! What am I afraid of?

Hearing this, the generals also agreed. Cao Cao has already had a plan for this war, and the Jiangnan area is in Cao Cao's heart. On that day, Cao Cao also drank and sang at night, and made a Long song that has been circulated for thousands of years.

Cao Cao's analysis is very accurate. If Sun Liu's allied forces want to attack by fire, they must rely on the southeast wind, while in the cold winter, there is only the northwest wind. Where does the southeast wind come from? So even if Sun Liu wanted to burn Cao Cao, he couldn't burn it.

But did Sun Liu burn Cao Cao to death? Not only did it burn, but it also burned him badly, which directly burned his idea of reunifying the country and almost killed Cao Cao.

Everything is ready except the east wind.

Sun Liu Alliance wants to attack with fire, but they are also worried that there is no east wind! What should we do?

How did the east wind written in Romance of the Three Kingdoms come from? Zhuge Liang borrowed it, which is absurd and full of fantasy. Can Zhuge Liang really "borrow" Dongfeng?

In our traditional culture in China, a very important model to explain the changes of the world is Yin and Yang, and the changes of seasons and human body are the ups and downs of Yin and Yang.

Take the four seasons as an example. In this yin-yang model, summer is the time when the sun is heaviest, so it is hot. After the summer solstice, the sun gradually rises and the shade gradually sets, so the weather is getting colder and colder. Speaking of the winter solstice, it is freezing, but after the winter solstice, the sun gradually sets and the yin gradually rises. Spring is not far away, and the weather is getting warmer.

In this model, the same is true of the change of a day. In the morning, the sun is getting heavier and heavier, so the temperature is getting hotter and hotter. After noon, yin qi begins to increase slowly, and in the afternoon, the temperature will be colder.

The ups and downs of Yin and Yang have brought about changes in the four seasons of the world and in the four seasons of the day. There are also some key nodes in these changes, that is, the anode produces yin, the cathode produces yang, the winter solstice produces yang, and the son sometimes produces yang. Winter is particularly cold and freezing, but a ray of sunshine is already budding. Although it was dark at noon, a ray of sunshine was budding.

Anode and yin are born, especially so. Things are strong and old, and there are many cases of prosperity and decline.

There are different winds in the four seasons, and the east wind blows more in spring. "In February and spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the east wind turns green"; There are many southerly winds in summer. "There is less leisure at home, and people are twice as busy in May. At night, the south wind rises and the wheat turns yellow. " In autumn, the west wind blows more, "the west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are called frost morning moon"; In winter, the north wind blows a lot. "The north wind blows white grass, and eight In the snow crosses Tatar.".

The east wind and the south wind are warm and humid, comfortable to blow, and pregnant with everything at the same time. When the east wind blows, the grass grows. The west wind and the north wind are all cold. "The sky is yellow, the west wind is tight, and the geese fly south." Who is drunk in Xiao Lai's frost forest? Always in tears. "

In the Yin-Yang model, we can understand that the budding Yang Qi produces the east wind and the south wind, and then it is transformed into spring and summer, and the sinking Yin Qi produces the cold west wind and the north wind, and then it is transformed into autumn and winter.

So Cao Cao was very determined, because the northwest wind blew in winter, and they set fire to themselves.

But Cao Cao ignored a very, very small detail, and both cathode and anode were born.

When Cao Cao went to Battle of Red Cliffs, it was the solstice winter. When did Zhuge Liang borrow Dongfeng? Jia Zi Ji Chen, sometimes born in the sun, was born in the sun from winter to Sunday.

At this moment when the sun and the moon are superimposed, a strong sun be the spirit sprouted between heaven and earth, and the south wind of shareholders blew. Sun Liu's allied troops burned Cao Cao Jun to death through this southeast wind.

Cao Cao should be full of military experience, but he ignored this change. Zhuge Liang, a standard Taoist inheritor, will certainly grasp this weather change.

Timing, geographical location and human harmony are the most important and crucial. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: "Heaven, Yin and Yang, cold and heat, time system." This is a simple talk about the weather and weather that should be paid attention to in ancient marching wars. Unfortunately, Cao Cao still didn't expect it.

Cao Cao also annotated Sun Tzu's Art of War. He was also the first person in history to annotate Sun Tzu's Art of War. "I have read a lot of strategies in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Sun Wu wrote them in depth ... but the world didn't teach them in depth, saying that literate people are annoyed by wealth, and those who walk in the world lose their essence, so they write them as a small solution."

"I read so many art books and strategies, and Sun Tzu was the most profound, but the world did not grasp the essence of his thoughts, so I wrote a note."

Did Cao Cao really master the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War? We don't know now. Maybe he was a wise man with misgivings, and he lost it. Maybe, maybe, these ideas needed a lot of experience and background knowledge in practical application, but Cao Cao didn't have such rich background knowledge and failed.
