Did Zhuge Liang really borrow the east wind in history?

No, because it was not Zhuge Liang who burned Red Cliff. Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a very good novel, it is just a novel, not a real history. Many of its plots are Fictional, because Shu has a better image, with the kind and kind-hearted Liu Huangshu, the unparalleled loyalty Guan Erye, the brave Zhang Fei, the almost perfect Zhao Zilong and the resourceful Zhuge Liang, so Luo Guanzhong chose to use Shu as the country. The protagonist, and blesses the deeds of others on them, the most serious of which is Zhuge Liang.

The description of "Burning Red Cliff" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu wrote out the fire attack plan on the palms of their hands at the same time, and then determined the plan as a fire attack. Zhuge Liang took the lead in the layout and borrowed the east wind. Implement fire attack, but the record in "Three Kingdoms" is that the fire attack strategy was proposed by Huang Gai and adopted by Zhou Yu, who implemented it. Zhuge Liang was not included in it, and the matter of borrowing the east wind was not clearly recorded. .

The most classic "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" carried out by Zhuge Liang in order to gain dominance in the "Battle of Red Cliff" is also fictional. This incident was for the Battle of Red Cliff in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" As for preparing arrows, the records in "Three Kingdoms" are different. The real "straw boat borrowing arrows" in "Three Kingdoms" happened five years after the "Battle of Chibi", and the initiator was Sun Quan, not Zhuge Liang. .

Zhuge Liang did have certain talents. After the death of many generals in the Shu Kingdom, because Liu Chan was relatively incompetent, Zhuge Liang supported the Shu Kingdom alone. However, because of this incident, later emperors continued to mythologise Zhuge Liang. Many events that did not belong to Zhuge Liang were imposed on them, making their ministers and people think that Liu Chan is such a waste, and Zhuge Liang, who is close to the myth, has been assisting him. So as a pretty good person, shouldn't the subjects support him with all their strength? , Therefore, under this development, Zhuge Liang was constantly mythized, and later Luo Guanzhong also beautified Zhuge Liang when he wrote a book.
