Battle of Red Cliffs mystery?

Firstly, it is pointed out that the author of Mistakes upstairs is Luo Guanzhong, and the author of The Journey to the West is Wu Cheng'en.

The landlord's question is divided into two parts. One is why the southeast wind blows in Jiangnan in winter, and the other is how Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang budget the specific time for the wind to blow.

To solve the first problem, we need to start with geographical knowledge.

Chibi is in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in East Asia. In winter, the land cools faster than the ocean, so cold high pressure, such as Siberian high pressure, often forms in Central Asia. In this way, the northwest wind should prevail in Chibi area at that time.

However, it is not impossible to blow southeast winds in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the dead of winter. In summary, there are two possibilities.

1. Due to the complex and changeable atmospheric movement, it is likely that a small depression will occasionally appear in the west of Chibi area. The low pressure in the northern hemisphere is a cyclone, and the airflow flows counterclockwise. In this way, the southeast wind just blows to Chibi in the east of the low pressure.

2. It is also possible that there is a small high pressure east of Chibi. The high pressure in the northern hemisphere is an anticyclone, and the airflow flows clockwise. In this way, the southeast wind just blows in the Chibi area in the west of the high pressure.

Therefore, the truth of "borrowing" Dongfeng is actually:

A small high pressure formed in the west of Chibi and gradually moved eastward. When this anticyclone passes through Chibi area, Chibi area is affected by it, which is foggy at night and sunny during the day. When the anticyclone moved to the east of Chibi area, the southeast wind prevailed in Chibi area under its action. Dongfeng also "borrowed".

Next is the second question. Zhou Yu and Kong predicted that the southeast wind also had the following possibilities.

1. As outstanding military strategists, they should be proficient in astronomical geography and be able to judge abnormal climate according to some natural phenomena at that time.

2. It may be that the southeast wind has begun to blow, and the military decision made by the two men is not to "wait" for the east wind.

It may be a myth that the east wind burns Chibi. In the windless state, Cao Jun can also be set on fire by using some topographical factors.

In a word, this issue has been controversial in the field of history. Among them, the first explanation is more likely and the third one is less likely.
