In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, did Zhuge Liang really borrow the east wind from Battle of Red Cliffs?

Zhuge Liang certainly can't borrow the east wind. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this writing is only to set off Zhuge Liang's elusive SJMS.

As we know, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, several authors focused on describing the protagonist. Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and others all have exaggerated descriptions, including Cao Cao. This is actually a novel adapted from historical stories and folklore by the author Luo Guanzhong. Since it is a literary creation, it can be properly handled. For example, in history, Cao Cao was a politician, writer and strategist, but in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was described as a treacherous man. For another example, Zhou Yu is a general of Confucianism, as recorded in The History of the Three Kingdoms,

Yu is strong and handsome. Wide range of nature, high rate, less investment in music. Although there were mistakes after the three masters. I must know, and if I know, I must take care of it. So people say, "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang is in charge." In other words, Zhou Yu is generous and good at music. Sometimes even after drinking, the music played in the hall is not right, and Zhou can hear it. He kept looking back at the musicians, which showed that Zhou Yu was very talented. However, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms described Zhou Yu as a narrow-minded person, and Zhuge Liang made him angry. In fact, Zhou Yu died of illness in history.

I have to admire Luo Guanzhong, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who skillfully integrated these historical fragments into historical novels, which not only enriched the content of the novel, but also increased its readability. The novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms has such a great influence that people forget the real historical figures and events.

In the "Red Cliff War", Liu Bei and Sun Quan allied forces interpreted the legendary story of Zhuge Liang borrowing from the east wind in order to burn Cao Cao's warships, but this story is obviously against the laws of nature and impossible. Zhuge Liang is the man described by the author. He must have the aura of leading role. So, the author performed a wonderful "borrowing the east wind". If Zhuge Liang can borrow the "East Wind", then Zhuge Liang will be able to wipe out the world as soon as he speaks a spell, and Liu Bei won't have to cry so hard to conquer the country.

No matter how clever the author is, history is history, and novels are novels after all.

Commenting on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Lu Xun said, "As for writing people, it is also quite lacking, so that it is necessary to show Liu Bei's length and thickness, but it is like a fake, and it is like Zhuge's wisdom approaching a demon; Just for Guan Yu, he is very kind and brave, and he has always seen it. " It means that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms also has many shortcomings when it was written, so that it makes people feel hypocritical to show Liu Bei's loyalty, but it makes people feel like a monster to describe Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness. Guan Yu, on the other hand, especially likes to say good things. If he is brave, he can often see it.
