Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

There are not many battles in history where a small number of people defeated a large number, and the Battle of Chibi is one of the classics.

"The burning of Red Cliff was Zhou Yu's plan. Why did Mr. Xiao say it was Zhuge Liang's achievement?" Liu Ying frowned.
Xiao Ran was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his head, "My brain, we have a classic book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, which is about the Three Kingdoms, but it records a lot of credit to Zhuge Liang."

"Of course, the Battle of Chibi I mentioned is all historical records."

After saying that, Xiao Ran felt a little funny.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" still had a great influence on later generations. Various TV series and movies were adapted from it, all using the plot in the book.

This classic deified Zhuge Liang, and Xiao Ran sometimes subconsciously attributed those deeds to Zhuge Liang.

"The Battle of Chibi was Zhou Yu's plan."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Zhuge Liang returned to the camp not long after he left.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao." Zhuge Liang took the feather fan and prepared to go with Xiao Ran for treatment.

Zhuge Liang, who is in his fifties, is already old and seriously ill. After walking for a short time, Zhuge Liang's face became much paler.

Listening to Zhuge Liang coughing, Liu Ying subconsciously urged, "Let's go back quickly."

When the soldiers and others exited, Xiao Ran and others disappeared.

……

Jimo ancient city
Skillfully registering and paying, Xiao Ran first arranged a physical examination for Zhuge Liang, and then performed various treatments under the doctor's advice.

After a day of torment, Zhuge Liang was strictly prohibited from leaving the hospital by the doctor.

Xiao Ran hired a nurse and went home to rest immediately.

dong dong dong.

Liu Ying knocked on Xiao Ran's room door.

"Mr. Xiao, can I take a look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms you mentioned before?"

Although she knew that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not correct history, Liu Ying still couldn't hold back her curiosity.

Xiao Ran said: "Don't you read official history?"

Liu Ying scratched her head in embarrassment, "I want to take a look at it in my spare time."

A heavy book was stuffed into Liu Ying's hand, and Xiao Ran waved his hand, "Go and read it. After reading this book, I will show you other classics."

"Is it also a historical adaptation?" Liu Ying asked.

Xiao Ran shook his head, "No, among the four famous works, only "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a historical adaptation. "Journey to the West", "A Dream of Red Mansions", and "Water Margin" are all made up by the author."

"I almost forgot. We all use simplified Chinese. You probably can't understand it. I'll get you an audiobook." Then, Xiao Ran took Liu Ying to the living room and called up the storytelling channel, which happened to be "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"We mentioned last time that Zhou Yu planned to harm Kong Ming and asked him to hand over 100,000 arrows within three days, but Zhuge Kongming wanted these three days..."

Liu Bang came to hear the sound and wondered, "Why do you need 100,000 arrows?"

"This paragraph is written in the book about straw boats borrowing arrows, but this is not the case in history." Xiao Ran said.

"In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, that is, 213 AD, Cao Cao fought against Sun Quan. In the first battle, Cao Cao's army was defeated, so Cao Cao ordered the army to hold on."

"In order to spy on the military situation, Sun Quan took advantage of the fog in the water to break into Cao Jun's frontier in a warship, intending to observe Cao Jun's deployment, but was discovered by Cao Jun. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and he did not dare to fight for fear of an ambush, so he ordered all bows and crossbows to be fired at the warships. Sun Quan's warship was in danger of capsizing due to too many arrows. Immediately, Sun Quan decisively ordered to turn the bow of the ship so that the other side of the ship was hit by arrows. Both sides of the ship were filled with arrows and the balance was restored. This is the safe retreat.”

"And this incident is just one of the prototypes. The story is mixed with another history."

"That's the borrowed arrows from the grass bundle of the famous Tang Dynasty general Zhang Xun. In the fifteenth year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao reign in the Tang Dynasty, the Anlushan rebels attacked Yongqiu. The Tang general Zhang Xun led his army to resist. After defending the city for more than 40 days, all the arrows were used up. Zhang Xun ordered his men to tie up several scarecrows and dress them in black clothes. After nightfall, they were tied with ropes and placed under the city, so that the rebels thought it was a sneak attack. Thousands of arrows were fired at the scarecrows. When the rebels reacted, the scarecrows There were already countless arrows on his body. The next day, Zhang Xun dropped the black-clothed grass men again. The rebels ignored them, but after landing, they turned into a living attack. The rebels in the barracks were killed and fled in all directions. The siege of Yongqiu was thus ended. solved."

"The straw boat borrowing arrows written in the book is to highlight that Zhuge Liang is more strategic than Zhou Yu. There is a saying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how can you be bright if you have Yu."

When Xiao Ran said this, he felt a little helpless. Many people in later generations believed this sentence and misunderstood Zhou Yu.

"How do Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang compare?" Liu Ying couldn't help but ask.

"On par."

Xiao Ran said, "Zhou Yu comes from a wealthy family, so what he has learned is certainly good."

"In the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), when Sun Jian attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce, Sun Jian's eldest son, was the same age as Zhou Yu. They both had great ambitions, so they had a good relationship. Zhou Yu gave up part of his family's house to Sun Ce, and often provided financial help, so that The relationship between Sun and the scholar-bureaucrats took a big step forward."

"In AD 195, the second year of Xingping, Zhou Yu went to visit his father Zhou Shang, who was the governor of Danyang. At this time, Sun Ce led his army to cross the Yangtze River eastward. After receiving the letter, Zhou Yu led his troops to greet him and brought provisions for the ship. Later, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to conquer Hengjiang and Dangli, then crossed the river, attacked Moling and defeated Zuo Rong and Xue Li, then captured Hushu and Jiangcheng, and then forced away Liu Yao's troops. It had grown to tens of thousands, and Zhou Yu led his troops back to Danyang."

"Shortly after this, Yuan Shu sent his cousin Yuan Yin to replace Zhou Shang as the governor of Danyang, and Zhou Yu followed Zhou Shang to Shouchun."

"In 198 AD, the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu appreciated Zhou Yu's talents and wanted to appoint him as a general. Zhou Yu thought that Yuan Shu was not suitable to follow, so he took the opportunity to return to Jiangdong. Before this incident, Zhou Yu met Lu Su when he was the magistrate of Juchao County. I took Lu Su with me when I went back."

"Sun Ce personally went out to meet Zhou Yu and gave him 2,000 soldiers and 50 horsemen. He valued him very much. Zhou Yu was twenty-four years old at the time."

Liu Bang asked aloud, "How old was Zhuge Liang when he came out of the mountain?"

"Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain at the age of twenty-one." Xiao Ran said.

Zhou Yu was older than Zhuge Liang.

"What happened next, Mr. Xiao." Liu Ying paused the TV and looked forward to the follow-up.

Xiao Ran continued: "In the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce wanted to attack Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu accompanied the army. In December, Sun Ce led Zhou Yu and others to attack Wancheng and captured Yuan Shu and others. Among them, the two daughters of Duke Qiao were both beautiful and beautiful, and Sun Ce accepted them. Da Qiao, Zhou Yu accepted Xiao Qiao, then attacked Xunyang and defeated Liu Xun. At the beginning of the next year, he returned to conquer Yuzhang and Luling, while Zhou Yu stayed to guard Baqiu.

"In April of the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was assassinated. On his deathbed, he entrusted everything to his younger brother Sun Quan. When Sun Quan took over the industry, he was still young and not many people believed him. It was Zhou Yu and others who believed that Sun Quan could achieve great things with them, and Zhou Yu followed He brought troops from other places to attend the funeral, and stayed with Sun Quan of Wu County as the central guard, and jointly took charge of military and political affairs with Zhang Zhao."
