The description of "burning Red Cliff" in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu wrote the fire attack plan in their palms at the same time, and then designated it as fire attack, which was arranged by Zhuge Liang and implemented by the east wind. However, it is recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms that the plan of fire attack was put forward by Huang Gai and implemented by Zhou Yu, among which Zhuge Liang was not seen, and the matter of borrowing the east wind was not clearly recorded.
Among them, Zhuge Liang's most classic "Arrow Borrowing Grass Boat" in order to gain the dominance of "Battle of Red Cliffs" is also fictional. This event was prepared for Battle of Red Cliffs in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it was recorded differently in The History of the Three Kingdoms. The real "borrowing an arrow from a straw boat" in the history of the Three Kingdoms occurred five years after the "Battle of Red Cliffs" and was initiated by Sun Quan.
Zhuge Liang does have a certain talent. After the death of many generals in Shu, Zhuge Liang propped up Shu by himself because of Liu Chan's incompetence, but because of this, the emperors of later generations continued to myth Zhuge Liang and imposed many events that did not belong to Zhuge Liang on them, making their courtiers and people produce a kind of waste like Liu Chan, and Zhuge Liang, who is close to myth, has been assisting him. Then, as an excellent self, shouldn't his subjects fully assist him? Therefore, under this development, Zhuge Liang is constantly being mythologized.
