Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the story of Zhuge Liang's three souls and Zhou Yu. There is a folk legend that Zhuge Liang is very clever and has connections with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu has always been jealous of Zhuge Liang's cleverness and wants to kill him. Before Battle of Red Cliffs, at a banquet, Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang: Mr. Kongming, if I am right to form an alliance with you, I will get the right reward; if I don't, I will be beheaded. Zhuge Liang smiled and replied, gentlemen, please go out first. Zhou said, "If there is water, it is a stream. If there is no water, it is also a stream. If you remove water from the stream, you will add birds to it. A successful cat is better than a tiger, and a falling phoenix is not as good as a swan. " Zhuge Liang said to him, "If there is wood, it is also a game of chess. If there is no wood, it is also a bully to remove the wood on the edge of the game. Longyou shallow water was beaten by shrimp, and the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. " Hearing this, Zhou Yu made another couplet: "If you have hands, you will twist them, but if you don't have them, you will be ugly. If you remove the twisted hand, you are a girl. There are ugly women in Longzhong, and it is difficult to pick one woman in a hundred. " Zhuge Liang understood that Zhou Yu was laughing at his wife Huang Achou's ugliness, and responded: "There is wood as a bridge, and there is no wood as a Joe. If you remove the wood from the bridge, you will be charming. Da Qiao, the beauty of Jiangdong, and Cao Cao's copper sparrow lock two jiao. " Zhou Yu understood that this was a mockery of his wife and was furious. Lu quickly persuaded him from the side: "If there is wood, it is also a trough, and if there is no wood, it is also Cao. If the wood at the edge of the trough is removed, it will be bad to add rice. It's not a bad idea that Cao Cao will be defeated today, and the dragon and tiger will compete. " Everyone applauded and cheered. Sun and Liu joined hands to defeat Cao Cao, which was called "Battle of Red Cliffs" in history.
