Can Zhuge Liang really borrow Dongfeng?

Zhuge Liang's borrowing from the east wind was just invented by the author in Romance of the Three Kingdoms to set off Zhuge Liang's tall and intelligent image.

So why did the author write that Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind?

First of all, for the needs of artistic treatment, Zhuge Liang will be covered with all kinds of magic and wisdom in the future, so that Zhuge Liang, who has not appeared for a long time, will be covered with a thick mystery.

Secondly, even in ancient times, the sky was not changed by human will, and anything that could change the weather would give people a very magical effect.

As can be seen from the above two points, the third point is that Zhuge Liang was deliberately paved by the author. This time, Zhuge Liang had a magical and mysterious ability in the era when ancient science and technology were underdeveloped.

What about the real east wind?

In fact, for the real history of the Three Kingdoms, we should look at the History of the Three Kingdoms, in which Battle of Red Cliffs's main force is actually Zhou Yu, not Zhuge Liang. In fact, Liu Bei's system only played an auxiliary role in the whole campaign, and there are only the following two paragraphs in the annals of the Three Kingdoms.

At that time, the southeast wind, fierce fire, like an arrow from the string to the ship, flew to Egypt, burned up the north ship, and extended to the shore to camp firewood. ?

When the wind is strong, it will obviously burn and camp on the shore. In a short time, smoke billowed, and more people were burned and drowned. ?

It can be seen here that the southeast wind was very violent at that time, and the fire moved with the wind. In the end, Cao Cao's warships were all burned down, which made Cao Cao lose the power to go south. Without a boat, it is almost impossible to cross the river, let alone a water war.

And why didn't Cao Cao take precautions? Because according to the season and climate conditions at that time, the general situation is northwest wind. Of course, if you use fire, Zhou Yu will definitely burn himself. How could it be Cao Cao? However, just as careless about Jingzhou, Cao Cao was careless about Chibi, without considering all aspects. He has no mobile phone, so he can't know the latest weather forecast. Of course, he is not familiar with the weather changes in the Yangtze River waters. According to experience, it's nothing serious.

Zhou Yu, his opponent, is really smart, and he has been active in the waters of the Yangtze River all the year round. In ancient times, there was no weather forecast, but he did have relevant experience summary and calculation forecast for some weather forecasts, which is the kind of Zhouyi budget. Of course, it seems a bit feudal and superstitious now, but after mastering a lot of knowledge, ancient people can accurately grasp the main weather changes through their own judgment. These are the accumulation of experience and sensitivity to the weather. In ancient times, commanders were required to go from astronomy to geography, and astronomy refers to these problems.

Therefore, Zhou Yu grasped the basis that the weather would change, and then laid out a plan to attack Cao Cao with fire. Because this plan is fixed, it is a set of rings that have been prepared for a long time. If he didn't even consider the core weather, how could Zhou Gongjin's intelligence make such a low-level mistake? Therefore, he should have known the weather changes in the waters of the Yangtze River early in the morning, and used the advantages of the weather to mislead Cao Cao himself, and finally Battle of Red Cliffs succeeded in the fire attack.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang should also understand this set of theoretical methods. It can be said that if you give it to Zhuge Liang, he can also borrow it from the East. I won't borrow it, but I will know it in advance.
