Zhuge Liang's "Burning Red Cliff" can be regarded as a style. Why can't burning the valley above be regarded as rain?

Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms is famous for his ingenuity, because he can even call the shots, and is known as the "demon man". For thousands of years, Zhuge Liang has become a symbol of wisdom in people's minds.

Zhuge Liang used the most effective and effective tactics in two words: fire attack.

The first thing that Liu Bei did when he visited Zhuge Liang was to prove himself. To this end, he set a fire to Bowangpo.

In the face of powerful and aggressive Wei Jun, Zhuge Liang avoided confrontation with him. Said to lead Wei Jun into an ambush. Finally, he lit the fire he had already prepared and made Wei Jun cry and cry.

This made Zhuge Liang famous, and from then on, he did not believe that his customs were obedient to him. After that, Zhuge Liang lit a fire in Xinye, which made Cao Cao's cattle flee in panic, thus allowing Liu Bei to survive the crisis and usher in a turning point. Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu jointly planned an earth-shattering fire attack plan, which was absolutely exquisite. In the end, a fire made Cao Cao cut his robe and flee, and he was reborn in the fire, thus laying a pattern of "three points in the world".

After Liu Bei died in Baidicheng, Zhuge Liang burned swords and bullets with fire in the process of pacifying Nanyi, which made the rear area of Shu state impregnable and solved the worries for the Northern Expedition.

Of course, if the first four fires can be called Zhuge Liang's classics, then the fifth fire will become Zhuge Liang's legacy. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition never succeeded, except for various external factors, but also because he met a powerful enemy-Sima Yi.

Obviously, there is a gap between Sima Yi's strategy and Zhuge Liang's. To this end, he adopted a constant and changeable way and always insisted on not going to war.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi confronted each other in Weishui. This time, Zhuge Liang adopted a series of tricks to trap Sima Yi. Sima Yi believes that the valley above must be the "granary" of the Shu army. In order to break the route for providing foodstuff for the Shu army, he decided to go all out. The entrance to the upper valley is narrow, the hinterland is wide, the sides are high and the middle is low, which looks like a gourd. However, only one person can ride at the entrance, and Sima Yi will know when he enters the valley. However, it is too late. When Zhuge Liang was in the valley fire, Sima Yi sighed that all three of them were going to die here and couldn't help crying.

However, just at this critical moment, it suddenly began to rain heavily, dousing the valley fire above. Sima Yi was overjoyed and immediately cheered up and led the exhausted soldiers out of Taniguchi.

When Zhuge Liang saw it, he had to sigh in eight words: "Man proposes, God disposes."

It is reported that Zhuge Liang is well versed in astronomy, geography and Taoism, and Battle of Red Cliffs sometimes has the legend of borrowing from the east wind. Why didn't he calculate that it would rain when the valley above the fire burned
