What would have happened if the southeast wind was not blowing during the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms?

The most direct result is that the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Sun Quan are likely to be wiped out by Cao Cao's army, and if the wind direction changes to the opposite direction, it will cause fire and cause greater harm to themselves. Even if It's because Cao Cao's army didn't know the nature of water. If they didn't fight well in the water battle, Cao Cao could completely change direction and use the army to outflank him. Zhuge Liang also issued a military order, so if the southeast wind didn't blow, Liu Bei and Sun Quan would probably die miserably.

The most important factor in the Battle of Chibi was the wind direction. Zhuge Liang observed the sky at night and determined that the southeast wind must blow on the day of the attack. But what would happen if the southeast wind did not blow on that day?

The most direct certainty is that Zhuge Liang’s plan for the Fire Battalion failed, and this plan is the key to the Battle of Chibi. If the plan fails, everything before it will be in vain, and Cao Cao’s army will If they attack in a mighty manner, the strength of Liu Bei and Sun Quan will not be enough to stop such a large force, which means that it will definitely lead to a huge defeat in the Battle of Chibi.

Zhuge Liang issued a military order to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu during the Battle of Chibi. If there was no southeast wind blowing that day, Zhuge Liang would have come to see him with his head raised. The key is that even if Zhuge Liang came to see him with his head raised, , could not stop the attack of Cao Cao's army, and the final result was the destruction of Shu and Soochow.

Of course God still favors Zhuge Liang. The allied forces were victorious, and the Battle of Chibi became Zhuge Liang’s famous battle. But if the southeast wind really didn’t blow, history might have been rewritten. I can’t help but sigh. The weather can also determine the direction of history. Of course, we cannot deny Zhuge Liang's talent and ability to understand the changes in the weather, so that he finally defeated the arrogant Cao Cao.
