How did Zhuge Liang borrow Dongfeng?

Zhuge Liang is a great strategist in the history of our country. He defeated Cao Cao many times with his wisdom and strategy, and made great contributions to Shu. At that time, when Shu and Wu attacked Chibi, Cao Cao was rich in materials and many troops, but because of his small scale and weak troops, he could not be defeated at the moment. Zhuge Liang was worried and could do nothing.

Cao Cao's troops are mostly northerners, who don't understand water, are not good at fighting on ships, and get seasick and vomit, which makes the soldiers weak one by one. Later, it was suggested that Cao Cao should connect all the warships together. Sure enough, the ship was relatively stable and the soldiers were not so seasick. Cao Cao is very happy.

Zhuge Liang knew this situation, and his plan came, and he thought of a plan to burn warships by the east wind.

It should be said that Zhuge Liang is not only a strategist, but also an astronomer. According to the geographical environment of Chibi, it was sunny during the day and foggy at night, and according to the weather and wind direction, he skillfully used the easterly moment to flexibly command the army and set fire to Cao Jun's warships, so that Cao Cao was defeated and won a great victory.
