Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are all natural phenomena. Can Zhuge Liang really borrow Dongfeng?

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of China's four classical novels. This book has been read by many people and has been remake into a film and television play for many times. Therefore, many friends think that the real Zhuge Liang in history is a divine operator and can give orders at will. So Battle of Red Cliffs won by Zhuge Liang's east wind. So, is there really such a thing as borrowing the east wind?

Speaking of Zhuge Liang, his first impression is that he is a weak scholar with a feather fan in his hand and a nylon scarf, but he has extraordinary wisdom and can command thousands of troops and guide the country. In fact, the real Zhuge Liang is a famous politician, strategist and inventor in the history of our country. The image he gave us is really that of a scholar, and he has no ability to give orders. Many people think that Zhuge Liang can give orders because Zhuge Liang has extraordinary military talents, and everyone admires him, so they think that he can do anything. Coupled with the rendering in film and television dramas, Zhuge Liang became the god in everyone's mind over time.

Secondly, Zhuge Liang, the real Battle of Red Cliffs in history, actually didn't attend. Battle of Red Cliffs's command was Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang's greatest role in Battle of Red Cliffs was to establish an alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei. So there is no such thing as borrowing from the east wind.

Finally, let's look at the process in Battle of Red Cliffs. In fact, on the eve of Battle of Red Cliffs, Commander Zhou Yu thought of the method of burning warships. However, Zhou Yu's consideration is not so comprehensive, probably because the war is urgent, and he doesn't think that fire attack needs the cooperation of the wind direction. This fire attack strategy requires high wind direction, because if the wind direction is not suitable, it may burn to your side. This doesn't work in Cao Jun. At this time, Zhuge Liang discovered this loophole and said to Zhou Yu: If you want to break through Cao Jun, you need to attack with fire. Everything is ready except the east wind. As a result, when I arrived in Battle of Red Cliffs that day, the southeast wind really started, and Zhou Yu also took the opportunity to attack and defeated Jun.
