"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (full name "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", also known as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms") is a chapter-length historical romance novel written by Luo Guanzhong, a novelist in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. This famous book can be said to have influenced generations of young people. The famous stories in it mainly include the following:

1. Borrowing arrows from a straw boat

Zhou Yu heard that Zhuge Liang had already known that he was borrowing arrows from a straw boat. Jiang Qian got rid of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and increasingly felt that Zhuge Liang would be a serious problem. So he deliberately challenged Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang to build 100,000 arrows in 10 days. Zhuge Liang came up with a clever plan and asked people to put haystacks on the boat. On the day of the battle, Cao Cao saw heavy fog and was worried that his troops would be defeated, so he ordered his men to shoot arrows at the ships. At this time, Zhuge Liang was drinking with the frightened Lu Su. One side of the boat was full of arrows, so he turned the boat around to collect the arrows. It wasn't until all the straw men were densely packed with arrows that he ordered the boat to rush back and asked the soldiers to shout: "Thank you, Prime Minister for the arrows!" After Zhou Yu ordered the arrows, he felt even worse.

2. Burning Red Cliff

Cao Cao led an army to attack Wu, and Wu and Shu united to fight against Cao. Because the Wei army was not good at water warfare, Kong Ming and Zhou Yu decided to attack by fire. Pang Tong pretended to defect to Cao Cao and suggested that the Wei army's ships be connected with iron ropes to resist the wind and waves. Kong Ming speculated that the east wind was coming. Huang Gai descended to Wei with dozens of boats filled with firewood. When they were approaching the Wei army, Huang Gai lit firewood, and the fire took advantage of the wind and burned towards the Wei army. The Wei army was unfamiliar with water-based ships and joined together again. It can be said that there were countless casualties and the battle was disastrous. In the end, the Wei army fled. Therefore, there is a saying that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind

3. The three heroes fight Lu Bu

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes brought their own troops to attack the Dong thief. Dong Zhuo sent Hua Xiong to fight, but Guan Yu killed him. When Dong Zhuo heard that Hua Xiong had been killed, he was deeply saddened and immediately sent Lu Bu to fight. Zhang Fei charged forward and fought for fifty rounds. After this, Guan Yu and Liu Bei also entered the battle. The three surrounded Lu Bu and took turns fighting like a revolving lantern. After all, Lu Bu was unable to defeat the three of them. He gradually found it difficult to resist, so he rushed out of the encirclement and escaped.
