In the 18th year of Jian 'an, that is, AD 2 13, Cao Cao and Sun Quan confronted each other near Chaohu Lake in Anhui Province. Cao Jun was defeated in the first battle, so Cao Cao thought that the army could not hold on.
On this day, Sun Quan broke into the front line of Cao Jun by a warship, intending to observe the deployment of Jun. When the warship approached Cao Jun, it was discovered by Cao Jun. Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. Because there was fog on the water, he was afraid of an ambush and did not dare to go out. So Cao Cao ordered the firing of crossbows and arrows at Sun Quan's warships.
Soon, Sun Quan's warships were in danger of capsizing at any time because of too many arrows. At this critical moment, sun quan decisively ordered: turn the bow and let the other side get an arrow in the hull. Soon, the sides of the hull were shot by arrows, and the ship regained its balance and returned safely.
Cao Cao marveled at Sun Quan's wisdom and left a famous saying that "having children should be like Sun Zhongmou", which was later replaced by Luo Guanzhong and became the prototype of Zhuge Liang in Battle of Red Cliffs.
Extended data:
Chibi is located in the south of the Yangtze River, where it is warm in winter and southeast winds are more common in winter and later. Zhuge Liang is only good at collecting information. The real purpose of Zhuge Liang's borrowing from the east wind is to get rid of the shell of the golden cicada. He knew that Zhou Yu was jealous of his talent.
Zhou Yu once said that Zhuge Liang could not use Wu Dong, and Wu Dong suffered for it. He also lamented that "self-metaphor gives birth to a good life"; Zhuge Liang also knew that after he borrowed the southeast wind, Zhou Yu would definitely kick down the ladder and kill him.
So when borrowing the east wind, Zhuge Liang told the soldiers to close their eyes and mumble. After the southeast wind started, the trail boy continued to perform instead. He walked around the river along the trail next to the platform. Zhou Yu quickly sent someone to catch up, but it didn't help.
"Borrowing an arrow from a straw boat" did happen in history, but not in Battle of Red Cliffs. The protagonist of the story is not Zhuge Liang, who is familiar to everyone, but Sun Quan. Sun Quan's original intention was not to "borrow an arrow", but to spy on the military situation.
People's Network-Can you believe it? It is not Zhuge Liang who really used a straw boat to shoot arrows in history.
