Zhuge Liang skillfully used the east wind to burn Chibi. Was there really "God helps me" in ancient wars?

In ancient times, wars were fought not by heaven, but by the weather. These wise men defeated the enemy and won the battle. Zhuge Liang is the same. After Cao Cao unified the Central Plains, he led 800,000 troops to crusade against Dongwu. At this time, the gentry ministers in Jiangdong advised Sun Quan to surrender, and Zhuge Liang's arrival persuaded the local aristocratic ministers in the court. So they staged a thrilling war with Zhou Yu, attacking Cao Cao's fleet with fire, and an east wind burned up Cao Cao's army. Under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, he checked the stars at night and predicted that the east wind would blow in the future. With the help of God, the alliance of Sun and Liu defeated Cao Cao's army.

In ancient times, people thought that heaven was a god, and if they were angered, they would get what they deserved. Under the ancient feudal rule, people were superstitious about weather changes. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes were fighting, Cao Cao unified the Central Plains with his own ability. After gaining absolute strength, he began to crusade against Dongwu in the south. At this time, the deployment of troops has been incomparable, and Cao Cao's army is far superior to Sun Quan and Liu Bei. In this case, Zhuge Liang defeated Cao Cao's 800 thousand army with the help of Dongfeng.

Is Zhuge Liang really the kind of east wind that prays to heaven to save lives? The answer isno. Before Cao Cao went to war, Zhuge Liang judged the weather by observing the stars these days. After he had a certain degree of certainty, Zhuge Liang dared to say so. Under Zhuge Liang's plan, he launched a counterattack in Chibi and defeated Cao Cao's fleet in one fell swoop. After this incident, the princes of the world began to realize that the influence of the weather would change the war situation.

After Battle of Red Cliffs's victory, Liu Bei and Sun Quan became a vassal. After this battle, Zhuge Liang was gradually deified, and people all over the world thought that Zhuge Liang had been helped by God. Actually, it's not. Zhuge Liang just borrowed the east wind by accident.
