"Looking at Plum Blossoms to Quench Thirst" One summer, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Zhangjiao. The weather was extremely hot, the sun was like fire, and there was no cloud in the sky. The troops were walking on the winding mountain road. Walking up the mountain, the dense trees and rocks heated by the sun on both sides are breathtaking. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked through, their marching speed also slowed down, and several weak soldiers actually fainted on the roadside. Cao Cao saw that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and he was worried that he would miss the opportunity to fight, and he was very anxious. However, now tens of thousands of people cannot even drink water, so how can they speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly: "Is there any water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said: "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It is still a long way to go around." Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No. , there is no time." He looked at the woods in front of him, thought for a while, and said to the guide: "Don't say anything, I will think of a way." He knew that it would be useless to order the troops to speed up at this moment. After thinking about it, he came up with a solution. He clamped the horse's belly and rushed to the front of the team. He pointed forward with his riding crop and said: "Soldiers, I know there is a large plum forest ahead. The plums there are big and delicious. Let's hurry up." Hurry up and go around this hill to Merlin!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers felt as if they had already eaten the food, and their spirits increased and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

The story comes from "Shishuoxinyu·Jiajue". The idiom "looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst". The Classic Story of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 25

In the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", my favorite person is Zhuge Liang. Because of his ingenious calculations, he captured the barbarian king Meng Huo seven times, and was able to command the six gods of Ding and Liujia, and no one could break the formations he set up.

The following is a story about Zhuge Liang:

Kong Ming (Zhuge Liang) said: "Do you want to fight soldiers? Fight generals? Fight formations?" Yi (Sima Yi) said: "Fight first Formation. "Kong Ming said: "You set up the formation first." Yi held the yellow flag and waved his sword, and moved his troops from left to right to form a formation. Yi asked: "Do you know my formation?" Kongming said: "This is the 'Hunyuan Yiqi Formation'." He shook his feather fan and all the soldiers lined up.

Kong Ming: "Do you know my formation?" Yi said: "Measure this 'Bagua formation', how can you not know it!" Kong Ming said: "You know it if you know it, do you dare to attack my formation?" Sima Yi called the three generals and asked : "The formation set up by Kongming today is based on the eight gates of Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. Enter from the 'Sheng Gate', fight out from the 'Xiu Gate', and then use the 'Open Gate' Enter, this formation can be broken." The three entered the Shu formation, and saw that the formation was like a connected city, with no way out. I saw that there were many layers of formations, all with portals. How could I tell the difference between east, west, north and south? The three generals cannot care about each other and just bump into each other. Where the shouts started, Wei soldiers were tied up one by one.

During the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang was able to calculate that there would be heavy fog in three days. He used the heavy fog to cause Cao Cao to lose more than 100,000 arrows, and also lost more than 100 warships, dry villages, and water. Village, food and grass. He was stopped by Guan Gong on Huarong Road. He knelt down and begged for mercy to avoid death.

I admire Zhuge Liang's proficiency in astronomy and super military talent. Classic Story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 26

Around the first century BC, China was in the period of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. Wei occupied the north, Shu occupied the southwest, and Wu occupied the south. Once, the State of Wei sent a large army to attack the State of Wu, which was located on the edge of the Yangtze River, from the waterway. Not long after, the Wei army marched to a place not far from the state of Wu, set up camp by the water, and waited for an opportunity to attack.

After studying the situation of the Wei army, Zhou Yu, the marshal of Wu State, decided to use bows and arrows to defend against the invading enemy. But how to make the 100,000 arrows necessary for combat in a relatively short period of time? According to the situation of Wu's craftsmen at that time, it would take at least ten days to make so many arrows, which was obviously too long for Wu's defense.

At that time, Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Shu State, happened to be visiting Wu State. Zhuge Liang was a very smart man, so Zhou Yu asked him for advice on how to make the required arrows as quickly as possible. Zhuge Liang told Zhou Yu that three days would be enough. Everyone thought Zhuge Liang was telling lies, but Zhuge Liang wrote a military order stating that if he failed to complete the task by then, he would be beheaded. After Zhuge Liang accepted the task, he was not in a hurry. He told Lu Su, the minister of Wu State, that it was naturally impossible to make so many arrows using ordinary methods. Then, Zhuge Liang asked Lu Su to prepare twenty small boats for him, with thirty sergeants on each boat. The boats were all covered with green cloth and filled with grass. Zhuge Liang repeatedly asked Lu Su to keep his plan secret. Lu Su prepared the boat and other necessary things for Zhuge Liang, but he didn't know the secret.

Zhuge Liang said that he could prepare 100,000 arrows in three days, but he did not see any movement on the first day, and it was still the same on the second day. The third day was coming soon, and one arrow was ready. The arrow was not seen. At this time, everyone was worried about Zhuge Liang. If the task was not completed by then, Zhuge Liang would be dead. At midnight on the third day, Zhuge Liang quietly invited Lu Su into a small boat. Lu Su asked, "Why did you invite me here?" Zhuge Liang said, "Please come with me to get the arrows." Lu Su was confused. Jie Di asked: "Where to get it?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "You will know when the time comes." So Zhuge Liang ordered twenty small boats to be connected together with long ropes and set off towards the Wei army's camp.

That night, the sky was filled with heavy fog, and the fog on the water was so thick that you couldn’t even see your fingers. The thicker the fog became, the more Zhuge Liang ordered the fleet to move forward quickly. When the fleet approached the Wei camp, Zhuge Liang ordered the fleet to be lined up in a row, and then ordered the sergeants to beat drums and shout on the ship. Lu Su was frightened, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "We only have 20 boats and more than 300 soldiers. If the Wei soldiers come, we will definitely die." Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I'm sure the Wei soldiers will not We will send troops in the fog, so we can just drink in the boat."

In the Wei military camp, hearing the sound of beating drums and shouting, the commander-in-chief Cao Cao quickly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. In the end, it was decided that because there was heavy fog on the Yangtze River and the specific situation of the enemy was not known, navy archers were sent to shoot random arrows to prevent the enemy from landing. So the Wei army sent about 10,000 archers to the riverside and fired arrows violently at the place where there were shouts. For a moment, arrows flew like raindrops towards Zhuge Liang's fleet. After a while, the straw handles on the hull were full of arrows. At this time, Zhuge Liang ordered the fleet to turn around and face the Wei army with the side that was not hit by arrows. Soon it was also filled with arrows. Zhuge Liang estimated that the arrows on the ship were almost pierced, so he ordered the fleet to return quickly. At this time, the fog gradually began to dissipate. When Wei Jun figured out what had happened, he was extremely regretful.
