In the official history, Zhuge Liang did not participate in Battle of Red Cliffs, nor did he have the ability to call the shots. Zhou Yu is in command of Battle of Red Cliffs, and the east wind is a natural phenomenon on the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu and Huang Gai practiced for a long time in the local water army, and they knew exactly when the east wind started. They cleverly seized the fighter plane and defeated Cao Jun, and Zhou Yu was very broad-minded, which was completely different from the description in the romance.

historical novel

There is a well-known story of "borrowing from the east wind" in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Sun Quan formed an anti-Cao alliance. Sun Quan's general Zhou Yu was very jealous of Liu Bei's strategist Zhuge Liang and wanted to kill him. He asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows in ten days and issued a written military order. If he can't make these decisions in time, he will engage in military law. Zhuge Liang skillfully used the fog of the Yangtze River to drum and shout in front of Cao Ying with dozens of boats tied with scarecrows at night. Cao Jun shot an arrow, but all the arrows were aimed at the scarecrow. Zhuge Liang got more than 100 thousand arrows without blowing off dust.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu made a plan to attack Cao Cao with fire. However, the northwest wind has been blowing on the river for several days, and the fire attack will not only burn Cao Bing on the north shore, but will burn himself. Zhou Yu was depressed by the east wind and was ill in bed. After Zhuge Liang knew it, he wrote a prescription to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu opened it and read: "If you want to break Cao Bing, you should attack it with fire. Everything is ready except the east wind. Zhou Yu admitted that his mind was guessed by Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang what he could do. Zhuge Liang said that he could borrow the east wind, so he asked Zhou Yu to build a nine-foot-high seven-star altar for him and then do it himself. A few days later, as expected, the southeast wind blew. Zhou Yu felt that Zhuge Liang could not stay any longer, so he sent someone to kill Zhuge Liang at the Seven Star Altar. But Zhuge Liang had long expected that Zhou Yu would have this skill, leaving the Seven Star Altar ahead of time and returning to his base area, Xiakou. Before leaving, I left a message for Zhou Yu: "I hope Governor Zhou can make good use of this wind to defeat Cao Bing, and Zhuge Liang will return to Xiakou for the time being and meet you another day." Zhou Yu had to give up.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms: This paragraph

Zhou Yu stood on the top of the mountain and watched for a long time. Suddenly he looked back and fell down, spitting blood and unconscious. Deposit it back into the account. When all the generals came to ask, they all looked at each other and said, "A million people north of the Yangtze River have been swallowed up by whales. That's true. What if Cao Bing comes? " Hurry and send someone to Xuanwu Hou, while seeking medical treatment. archaic

Lu Su was depressed when he saw that Zhou Yu was ill. He came to see Kong Ming to talk about Zhou Yu's illness. Zhuge Liang said, "What is public opinion?" Su Shi said: "This is the blessing of Cao Cao and the disaster of Jiangdong." Kong Ming said with a smile, "Gong Jin's illness can be cured even if it is clear." Su Shi said: "If so, the country will be lucky!" That is, ask Kong to see a doctor. Su Xian went to see Zhou Yu. I lay with my head covered. Su Su said, "What's wrong with the governor?" Zhou Yu said: "I feel very painful in my heart, and sometimes I fall into a coma." Su Shi said, "What have you been taken in?" Yu said, "I feel uncomfortable, so I can't take medicine." Su Su said, "Come to see Kong Ming at the right time and tell him that you can cure the governor. Now outside the account, why bother to heal yourself? " I ordered him to come in and told the left and right to help him get up and sit on the bed. Zhuge Liang said, "I haven't seen you for days, so why worry?" Yu said, "How can a person protect himself when he is in danger?" Kongming said with a smile, "There are unexpected clouds in the sky. How can people count on them? " I smelled pale, but he groaned. Zhuge Liang said, "Does the viceroy seem unhappy?" Yu Dao: "Of course," said Kong Ming, "it must be solved with cold medicine." Yu said: "I have taken cold medicine, but it is completely ineffective." Kong Ming said, "First, you should manage your own anger; The gas is smooth and naturally recovers between breaths. " Expecting Zhuge Liang to understand what he meant, he said earnestly, "What medicine should I take if I want to go smoothly?" Kong Ming said with a smile, "On the bright side, teach the governor to be tactful." Yu Yue said, "I hope you can teach me." Zhuge Liang grabbed a pen and paper, and the screen retreated to the left and right. The 16-character secret script says: "If you want to break Cao Gong, attack him with fire;" Everything is ready, only the east wind. " After writing, he handed it to Zhou Yu and said, "This governor is also the source of the disease." Seeing this, Zhou Yu thought, "Kong Ming is really a god! I already know what I am thinking! Just tell me the truth. " Nye smiled and said, "Sir, you know the source of my illness. What medicine will you use to treat it? This matter is at stake, please advise. " Zhuge Liang said: "Although Liang is not a gifted scholar, he has met strangers and taught Daoism and Scripture. If the governor wants a southeast wind, he can build a seven-star altar on Nanping Mountain. It is nine feet high and has three floors, surrounded by 120 people holding flags and banners. Let's take advantage of the southeast wind for three days and three nights to help the governor fight. How about it? " Zhou Yu said, "It's only windy for three days and nights, so it can be a great event. It's just that things are in front of us and can't be delayed. " Zhuge Liang said, "What about the Jiazi Wind Festival on November 20 and the Bingyin Wind on November 22?" Hearing this, I was overjoyed Then send 500 able-bodied soldiers to build an altar in Nanping Mountain. Dial 120 people, raise the flag and guard the altar, and wait for orders. owner

Kong Ming bid farewell to his tent, mounted his horse with Lu Su, and went to Nanping Mountain to observe the terrain, and ordered the sergeant to build an altar in Songkhla, Southeast China. Fiona Fang is twenty-four feet high, and each floor is three feet high, while * * * is nine feet. On the next floor, insert the 28-night flag: the oriental seven-sided green flag, arranged in the shape of a black dragon according to the horn, sound, house, heart, tail and basket; The flag of seven soaps in the north, according to the bucket, cow, woman, emptiness, danger, house and wall, is the trend of Xuanwu; There are seven white flags in the west, which are the strength of the white tiger, according to kui, Lou, stomach, praise, Bi, Gou and Shen. There are seven red flags in the south, according to the well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and bird, forming a rosefinch shape. There are sixty-four yellow flags around the second floor, which are divided into eight positions according to the sixty-four hexagrams. Upstairs, there are four people, each wearing a hair band, a robe, a phoenix skirt and a ribbon, with Zhu. Zuo Li used to be a man with a long pole in his hand, and the tip of the pole was protected by a chicken feather. Attract the wind; There is a man standing in front of the right, holding a long pole with a seven-star belt tied to it to show the wind color; After Zuo Li was alone, holding a sword; A man stood on the right, holding a censer. Twenty-four people under the altar, each holding a big flag, Bao Gai, spurge, Chang Ge, Huang Yue, Bai Fang, Zhu Fan and Zhao Fan, surrounded on all sides. archaic

1 1 On the 20th of the month, Kong Ming bathed, fasted, put on his cassock and stepped on the altar. Lu Su said, "Amethyst went to the army to help Gong Jin adjust his troops. Don't be surprised if the light doesn't answer. " Lu Su, don't go. Kong Ming told the soldiers guarding the altar: "Don't leave your post without authorization. Don't whisper. Don't slip of the tongue. No surprises. If you disobey orders! " Everyone is in charge. Kong Ming slowly ascended the altar, and his position was fixed. He burned incense in the stove and poured water into the jar, hoping that the sky would get dark. Take less rest when recording at the altar and let the sergeant eat for you. Kong Ming went to the altar three times a day and went to the altar three times a day. But there is no southeast wind. Let's talk about Zhou Yu's invitation to Cheng Pu and Lu Su, a group of officers, to serve in the tent, and to send troops only when the southeast wind rises. While reporting to sun quan. Huang Gai prepared 20 fireboats, the bow of which was nailed with big nails; The ship was loaded with reed dry wood, fish oil, sulfur and nitrate, and covered with green cloth and oilcloth; The blue dragon tooth flag was planted at the bow, and all the departments at the stern went: waiting under the tent and waiting for Zhou Yu's order. Gan Ning, Kan Ze, Cai He and Cai Zhong are in Shuizhai, drinking every day and not letting a man go to the fields; Surrounded by Wu Dong's war horses, it was packed: just waiting for the order under the account. Sitting in his tent, Zhou Yu suddenly reported: "The ship of the marquis of Wu has been moored 85 miles away from the village, just waiting for the governor's good news." Immediately, Yu ordered Lu Su to hand it over to the generals, saying, "Everybody pack up your ships, weapons and sails. After the order is given, it must be broken. If there is a violation, it will be in accordance with the military law. " Soldiers will be ordered, one by one, to prepare for battle. owner

Another day, look at the recent night, the sky is clear and the breeze is still there. Yu said to Lu Su, "What Kong Ming said is absurd. How can a southeast wind blow in the middle of winter? " Su Su said: "I expected that Kong Ming would not talk nonsense." Near midnight, I suddenly heard the sound of the wind and the flag was turning. When I went out to see the account, the flag was floating to the northwest. At this moment, the southeast wind is strong, so Yu said in horror, "This man has the ability to seize heaven and earth, and ghosts and gods can do things! If you keep this man, he will be the bane of Wu Dong. Kill it as soon as possible, so as not to worry about another day. " Summoning the avant-garde team leaders Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to pay separately, he said, "Take 100 men each. Xu Sheng walked by the river, and Ding Feng walked by dry road to the Seven Star Altar in Nanping Mountain. Don't ask about the length, behead Zhuge Liang and bring a head to honor. " Two generals will be ordered. Xu Sheng disembarked, and a hundred knives and axes waved away the oars; Ding Feng got on the horse, and a hundred crossbowmen got on the horse and said, "Come to Nanping Mountain." . Yulu is facing a southeast wind. Later generations have a poem saying: "On the Seven Star Altar, Wolong climbs high, and the Dongfeng River surges overnight. Isn't Zhou Lang's success a clever plan of Kong Ming? "
