1. Kong Ming borrowed the east wind composition

There is a popular story of "borrowing the east wind" in the novel "The 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 military advisor Zhuge Liang's talents and wanted to kill him.

He asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows within ten days, and issued a military order. If the arrows could not be made by the deadline, military law would be used. Zhuge Liang cleverly took advantage of the heavy fog in the Yangtze River and used dozens of boats filled with scarecrows to beat drums and shout in front of Cao's camp at night.

Cao Jun shot arrows, but all of them hit the scarecrow. Zhuge Liang got more than 100,000 arrows without any effort. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu jointly formulated a plan to attack Cao Ying by fire.

However, the northwest wind has been blowing on the river for the past few days. Attacking with fire will not only fail to burn Cao's soldiers on the north bank, but will burn himself. Zhou Yu was depressed about Dongfeng's affairs and fell ill in bed.

After Zhuge Liang found out, he gave Zhou Yu a "prescription". Zhou Yu opened it and saw that it read: "To defeat Cao's soldiers, it is better to attack with fire. Everything must be done with fire." Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

Zhou Yu admitted that Zhuge Liang had guessed what he was thinking, and asked Zhuge Liang what he could do. Zhuge Liang said that he could borrow the east wind. He asked Zhou Yu to build a seven-star altar nine feet high for him, and then he performed the ritual on the altar.

In fact, Zhuge Liang himself did not know how to "borrow" the wind, but he was familiar with astronomy and geography. By observing changes in landforms and organisms, he had already calculated that there would be a southeasterly wind on November 20th. Therefore, I went to the Seven Star Altar and made some pretentious gestures. On November 20th, a southeasterly wind blew.

Zhou Yu felt that Zhuge Liang could not stay, so he sent people to the Seven Star Altar to kill Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang had long expected that Zhou Yu would have such a trick, so he left the Seven Star Altar in advance and returned to his base of Xiakou.

Before leaving, he left this message for Zhou Yu: "I hope Governor Zhou will make good use of this wind to defeat Cao's troops. Zhuge Liang will temporarily return to Xiakou and see you again someday." Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up.

"Yueguang Treasure Box" said that Zhou Yu stood on the top of the mountain and watched for a long time. Suddenly he looked back and fell, vomiting blood at the mouth, and fell unconscious. Rescue left and right back to the tent.

All the generals came to ask, and they all looked at each other in astonishment and said: "There are millions of people in the north of the Yangtze River, tigers and whales are swallowing them up. If you don't fight for the governor, what will you do if Cao's soldiers arrive?" He hurriedly sent someone to report to Wu. Hou, while seeking medical treatment.

In ancient times, it was said that Lu Su was depressed when he saw Zhou Yu lying ill, so he came to see Kong Ming and told him about Zhou Yu's death. Kong Ming said: "Why do you think Gong Jin is like this?" Su said: "This is Cao Cao's blessing and Jiangdong's disaster."

Kong Ming smiled and said: "Liang can also cure Gong Jin's disease." Su said : "If this is true, the country will be very lucky!" He asked Kong Ming to go see a doctor.

Suxian went to see Zhou Yu. Yu was lying down with her head covered.

Su asked: "How is the governor's condition?" Zhou Yu said: "My heart aches and I fall into coma." Su asked: "What kind of medicine have you taken?" Yu said: "I feel vomiting in my heart, and the medicine can't help. "

Su said, "I came to see Kong Ming and said that I can cure the governor's disease. How about I come and treat him outside the tent?" Yu ordered him to come in and help him sit down. on the bed.

Kong Ming said: "If you haven't seen your face for several days, how can you feel uneasy?" Yu said: "People are prone to misfortune and fortune, how can they protect themselves?" Kong Ming said with a smile: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are unpredictable. How could you have expected it?" Yu heard that his color was gone, and he made a sound of sex. Kong Ming said: "Does the Governor feel that there is a lot of trouble in his heart?" Yu said: "Yes," Kong Ming said: "It must be solved with good medicine."

Yu said: "I have taken good medicine, but it is completely ineffective. "Kong Ming said: "You must regulate your Qi first; if the Qi is smooth, you will be able to recover naturally within a few breaths."

Kong Ming must have known what it meant, so he challenged it and said: "If you want to get it. "What kind of medicine should I take to make my Qi smooth?" Kong Ming said with a smile: "If you have a way, I will teach the governor how to make your Qi smooth." The sixteenth character in the book says: "If you want to defeat Duke Cao, you should attack with fire; everything is ready, all you need is the east wind." After writing, he handed it to Zhou Yu and said, "This is the source of the governor's illness."

Yu Jian He was shocked and thought to himself: "Kong Ming is a true god! He has already known what is on my mind! I just want to tell you the truth." Nai smiled and said: "Sir, if you know the source of my illness, what medicine will you use to treat it? If the matter is critical, I hope you can give me advice immediately. "

Kong Ming said: "Although Liang is not talented, he once met a stranger who taught him the Qimen Dunjia Heavenly Book, which can summon wind and rain. If the governor wants a southeast wind, he can build one on Nanping Mountain and call it Qixing. Altar: nine feet high, with three floors, surrounded by one hundred and twenty people holding flags and streamers.

How about doing it brightly on the platform and taking advantage of the strong southeast wind for three days and three nights to help the governor with his troops? "Yu said: "With three days and three nights of rest, and only one night of strong wind, great things can be accomplished. But the matter is now, so we can't delay."

Kong Ming said: "On November 20th, Jiazi sacrifices to the wind. , On the 22nd, the wind stopped in Bingyin, how about it?" Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up hale and hearty. Then he sent an order to send 500 strong soldiers to Nanping Mountain to build an altar; and 120 people were assigned to hold flags and guard the altar, waiting for orders.

The Lord Kong Ming said goodbye and went out of his tent, mounted his horse with Lu Su, came to Nanping Mountain to check the terrain, and ordered the sergeant to take the red earth from the southeast to build an altar.

It has a radius of twenty-four feet, each floor is three feet high, and the maximum is nine feet.

The twenty-eight constellation flags are placed on the next layer: the seven green flags in the east, in the shape of horns, Kang, Shi, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji, in the shape of a blue dragon; the seven soap flags in the north, in the shape of Dou and Niu , female, empty, dangerous, room, and wall, forming the power of Xuanwu; the seven white flags in the west, according to Kui, Lou, Wei, Pleiades, Bi, Gou, and Shen, dominate the power of the white tiger; the seven red flags in the south, according to Jing, Gui , willow, star, Zhang, Yi, Zhen, in the shape of a red bird. There are sixty-four yellow flags around the second floor, which are divided into eight positions according to the sixty-four hexagrams.

There are four people on the upper floor, each wearing a hair crown, a soap robe, a phoenix robe with a wide belt, and a red sash. There is a man standing in front of him on the left, holding a long pole with a chicken feather as a bulwark on the top of the pole.

To attract wind signals; there is a person standing on the right in front, holding a long pole, with a seven-star belt tied to the pole to indicate the wind; there is a person standing on the left behind, holding a sword; and there is a person standing on the right behind, holding an incense burner. There are twenty-four people under the altar, each holding a banner, a treasure cover, a spurge, a long Ge, a yellow ax, a white jade, a red banner, and a soap banner, surrounding it on all sides.

In ancient times, Kongming took a bath and fasted on the auspicious day of Jiazi on November 20th. He wore Taoist robes, barefooted and came to the altar. He said to Lu Su: "Zijing went to the army to help Gong Jin mobilize his troops.

If Liang's prayers are not answered, don't be surprised." Lu Su said goodbye.

Kong Ming told the officers guarding the altar: "You are not allowed to leave your position without authorization. You are not allowed to whisper.

You are not allowed to make nonsense remarks. You are not allowed to be surprised.

If violated. Order to kill!" Everyone took the order. Kongming walked slowly up to the altar, having determined his viewing position, he burned incense in the stove, poured water into the bowl, looked up to the sky and secretly wished.

He went down to the altar and took a rest in the tent, ordering the sergeants to take turns to eat. Kong Ming went to the altar three times a day and came down three times a day.

But there is no southeast wind. Let's talk about Zhou Yu's invitation. 2. Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind in ancient times 400

Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind: From our point of view, the southeast wind that occurred that winter was undoubtedly borrowed by Zhuge Liang. Think about it, Cao Cao came from the northwest and swept across Jingxiang, how powerful he was! The talented man from Soochow, Xiang Zhen, was eclipsed, and his will was so depressed! Liu Bei fled to Xiakou, and his life was at risk. The situation was so critical! It was cold winter and the northwest wind was raging. For the people of Soochow and the suffering Liu Bei, wasn't Cao Cao a fierce northwest wind that made people shudder? If Zhuge Liang hadn't borrowed the southeast wind, how could he have saved the crisis and won the Battle of Chibi? When Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei for help from Sun Quan, he had actually begun to implement his plan to borrow the east wind. From "talking with the Confucian scholars" to "stimulating Sun Quan with wisdom", from "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" to "sacrifice the wind at the Seven-Star Altar", and finally until the Battle of Chibi, it should all be regarded as Zhuge Liang's process of borrowing the east wind. Some scholars believe that Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the Confucian scholars in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed wonderful, but among the Confucian scholars who appeared, none of the biographies mentioned this matter, so it can be concluded that it is a pseudo-history fabricated by the novelist. But I thought that when Zhuge Liang came to Chaisang and faced with the opinions of the Soochow Confucian scholars who advocated surrendering Cao Cao, a fierce battle of words was naturally inevitable. The Confucian scholars who appeared may not be Zhang Zhao, Yu Fan, Bu Zhi, Xue Zong, Lu Ji, Yan Zhen, Cheng Deshu, etc. The remarks and scenes described may also be rationalized and fictitious, but the historical authenticity cannot be easily dismissed. negative. Especially the issues debated in that war of words were quite thought-provoking.

Zhang Zhao's question is: "I heard that Liu Bei has always had the ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, and he also has the talents of Guan Zhong and Le Yi. How could he be defeated at Changbanpo and end up fleeing to Xiakou?" , How could there be no place for him?" Zhuge Liang replied: "Liu Bei didn't know about Liu Cong's surrender to Cao Cao. At this critical moment, he couldn't bear to take advantage of Liu Cong's inheritance, so he went south to Dangyang. The refugees followed, but Liu Bei couldn't bear to abandon him, and even though he was defeated at Changbanpo, it still showed Liu Bei's great benevolence and righteousness. Victory and defeat were common matters for military strategists. Emperor Gao had been defeated by Xiang Yu many times, but he succeeded in the battle at Gaixia. , How can we call him a hero because of a temporary defeat?"

Yu Fan asked again: "Cao Cao swept Jingxiang with thousands of strong soldiers and millions of soldiers, and Liu Bei was defeated in Dangyang. , The plan is poor in Xiakou, life or death will be unpredictable sooner or later, aren't you afraid?" Zhuge Liang replied: "Although Cao Cao has millions of heroes, they are actually a mob, and Liu Bei is still not as scary as he thought, although he only has a few thousand soldiers. There are many people who are not afraid of Cao Cao. Now they are retreating to Xiakou. They are just waiting for the opportunity. Soochow's troops are well-prepared and there is the danger of the Yangtze River. How can you still insist on surrender because of fear of Cao Cao, even in spite of the ridicule of the world? "Xue Zong commented on current affairs and said: "The Han Dynasty is about to end. Now Cao Cao has occupied two thirds of the world. Liu Bei does not know the current affairs and wants to go against Cao Cao. , Just like hitting an egg against a stone, you can't be defeated?"

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang replied righteously: "We are all subjects of the Han Dynasty, and loving the country is our duty as human beings. Now, don't you think about it. How can you serve the country by talking about the subjugation of the country while trying to gain influence from the traitor Cao Cao? A disloyal and unfilial villain like you is not worthy of me talking to you!" Another Cheng Deshu said loudly: "Mr. Zhuge's words are beautiful. , but he may not have any real knowledge. If you just show off your words, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the learned Confucians?" Zhuge Liang replied: "There is a difference between a gentleman and a villain. You will not laugh at me.

A villain's Confucianism is like a Yang Xiong who succumbs to being a lackey of Wang Mang's family. Although he is famous for his articles, what is worthy of praise? ”

In Cao Cao’s view, since Liu Bei and Soochow were disobedient, they were no different from grass bandits. Cao Cao held the emperor in his arms and, in the name of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, led the king’s army to conquer Liu Bei and Soochow. The momentum is like an arrow leaving the string. Who would have thought that Liu Bei was confronting Soochow and accusing Cao Cao of "being called the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but actually being a traitor of the Han Dynasty". How could he be "attacking Cao Cao's army with Cao Cao's arrows"? This means that Zhuge Liang was good at taking advantage of the situation and leveraging his strength to establish the political superiority of the Sun-Liu coalition, and on the other hand to form a tit-for-tat attack force against Cao Cao. A poem in "Red Cliff Nostalgia" by Wang Zhou of the Tang Dynasty goes: " The big plan was decided in front of the tent, and the battle flag was burned on the fire boat at Chibi. If Cao Cao were to hide his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, how could Zhou Lang dare to defeat the king's master? "That's the secret.

The "Seven Star Altar to Sacrifice the Wind" is probably a ritual to worship the heaven and earth before the battle, or a way to boost morale. When Cao Cao's soldiers are approaching, , when everyone thought they were doomed, Zhuge Liang used his fearless courage and wisdom to inspire the fighting spirit of the Soochow soldiers. The frightening northwest wind suddenly turned into an awe-inspiring southeast wind. So I said, in such a critical situation. At this historical juncture, the southeast wind actually symbolizes a kind of courage inspired by justice, and a kind of strength that dares to defeat the weak.

The situation of the war is reversing, the weather is also reversing, and consciousness is changing. The combination of the southeast wind of the world and the southeast wind of nature ultimately determined the victory of the Battle of Chibi. In the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, it turns out that the so-called southeast wind is both history and a reference to history. Fiction. It is this kind of fiction of history that gives a true historical story a fable-like fragrance. 3. Kong Ming borrows the east wind in 100 words

On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu had already done it. Zhou Yu was ready to launch a fire attack to burn down Cao Cao's warships and defeat Cao Cao. However, Zhou Yu made a mistake in his busy schedule. He did not expect that the fire attack had high requirements on the wind direction. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the middle of winter, the wind blows mostly from the northwest and there is no southeast wind. If the fire was set in the northwest wind, Cao's army would be in the upper hand, and it would burn himself, but not Cao's army. Zhou Yu could not think of a way, and suddenly fell ill. Zhuge Liang was helping Zhou Yu's army make plans. He knew Zhou Yu. He gave Zhou Yu a "prescription": "If you want to defeat Cao's army, you must attack with fire. Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to find a way to "get" Dongfeng, and Zhuge Liang immediately agreed: "You can borrow it." So Zhou Yu had a seven-star altar built, and Zhuge Liang pretended to go up to the altar to "borrow the east wind." On the day of the battle, the southeast wind picked up. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to launch an attack and attacked Cao Jun in one fell swoop. In fact, Zhuge Liang was good at predicting As for the weather, he knew from the forecast that there would be a southeasterly wind on that day, and it was not "borrowed" at all. 4. The abbreviation of Kong Ming's story about borrowing the east wind should be within 200 words

During the Three Kingdoms era, a historical event happened in Chibi. The famous battle in the war was called the "Battle of Chibi". At that time, Cao Cao of the Wei army had millions of troops and wanted to annex the south.

Wu and Shu united to fight against the commander of the Wu army, Zhou Yu, and the Shu army. Military strategist Zhuge Liang worked together to study a plan to attack Cao Cao.

They decided to take advantage of Cao Cao's arrogance and underestimate the enemy and adopt a fire attack plan. Zhou Yu first used countermeasures to induce Cao Cao to kill a familiar member of Cao Cao's army. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the capable generals who could resist them, then asked Pang Tong to make a false plan to trick Cao's army into joining the warships together.

In this way, if a fire breaks out, the warships cannot be separated. Cao Cao's army would be completely destroyed, and Zhou Yu resorted to the "bitter tactics": beating the veteran Huang Gai in front of many people, and then asked Huang Gai to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao.

In fact, Huang Gai was surrendering. The boat was filled with flammable items, and everything was arranged to launch a fire attack on Cao's camp when he was about to feign surrender. However, Zhou Yu could not be happy. Instead, he became sick with worry and became bedridden. It turned out that he had to achieve the goal of the fire attack. , but also requires a very important condition - to set fire to Cao's army on the north bank, it must rely on the southeast wind.

At that time, it was the middle of winter, and the northwest wind blew every day. Zhuge Liang visited Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu eagerly visited him. Ask Zhuge Liang what he can do. Zhuge Liang told Zhou Yu that he could control the wind and rain, and he could use the southeast wind for three days and three nights to help Zhou Yu set the fire. Zhou Yu immediately ordered people to build an earthen platform, called the "Seven Star Altar".

Zhuge Liang. Praying for the southeast wind on the "Seven Star Altar", Zhuge Liang knew both astronomy and geography. Through meteorological observations, he predicted the date of the southeast wind.

On the scheduled date, the southeast wind was strong, and Zhou Yu was successful. Di completed his fire attack plan. Brief summary: On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was ready to launch a fire attack to destroy Cao Cao's warships in one fell swoop.

But Zhou Yu made a mistake in the process. Unexpectedly, fire attacks have very high wind direction requirements. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the middle of winter, the wind blows mostly from the northwest and there is no southeast wind. If the northwest wind is used to set fire, Cao Jun will be in the upper hand and just burn himself, but not Cao Jun at all.

Zhou Yu couldn't think of a way and fell ill all of a sudden. Zhuge Liang was helping Zhou Yu's army with advice. Knowing the cause of Zhou Yu's illness, he gave Zhou Yu a "prescription": "If you want to break through." Cao Jun must attack with fire.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. " Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to find a way to "get" Dongfeng, and Zhuge Liang immediately agreed: "You can borrow it. "

So Zhou Yu had a seven-star altar built. Zhuge Liang pretended to go to the altar to "borrow the east wind." On the day of the battle, the southeast wind picked up strong. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to launch an attack and attacked Cao Jun in one fell swoop. .

Extended information: Brief introduction of related characters: (1) Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang (181-October 8, 234), courtesy name Kongming, nicknamed Wolong, was in Yangdu, Langya, Xuzhou (now Yinan, Linyi City, Shandong) County), the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, an outstanding politician, strategist, diplomat, writer, calligrapher, and inventor. He followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou in his early years. After Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, Xiangyang. .

Later Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage to invite Zhuge Liang, and joined forces with Sun to fight against Cao. They formed a tripartite force of the Three Kingdoms and captured Jingzhou in the 16th year of Jian'an. (211), captured Yizhou, and then defeated Cao's army and captured Hanzhong. In the first year of Shu Zhangwu (221), Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister to preside over the affairs of the state. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Liang was granted the title of Marquis of Wuxiang and became the shepherd of Yizhou.

He was diligent and cautious, handled all political affairs personally, and strictly enforced rewards and punishments; he formed an alliance with Soochow to improve relations with all ethnic groups in the southwest. ; Implemented the policy of garrisoning and strengthened war preparations. He made six northern expeditions to the Central Plains, but all failed with food.

He eventually became ill due to overwork and died in Wuzhangyuan (today's 234th year). (Qishan, Baoji, Shaanxi Province), died at the age of 54. Liu Chan posthumously named him Zhongwuhou, and later generations often addressed him as Zhuge Liang.
