"Gong covers three countries, and is famous as the eight arrays." Du Fu's poems wrote down the great deeds of Zhuge Wuhou thousands of years ago. Zhuge Liang has always been the embodiment of wisdom, and Lu Xun once commented that "Zhuge Zhi is more close to a demon", which is simply like a god. Zhuge Liang was good at using fire attacks, such as burning Chibi, burning Bowangpo, burning Xinye, and so on.
In the face of the fierce enemy army that was burned by him, Zhuge Liang did not change his color and showed no mercy, but when Zhuge Liang was pacifying the Southern Man, Zhuge Liang, who also used fire to attack, looked at the unspeakable Southern Man Tengjia Army that was burned, and he was a little unbearable to look at it directly, and he also shouted words such as "I will fold Yang Shou" and so on, thinking that if he did such a harmful thing to nature and reason, he would eventually be punished in the future.
In the Battle of Chibi, although the Cao army burned 300,000, Zhuge Liang's face did not change color, because he was not the executioner who really burned the Wei army. The supreme commander of the Battle of Chibi was Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, while Zhuge Liang was only an emissary representing Liu Bei, and although he participated in the formulation of the strategy, he was not the ultimate decision-maker. In the Battle of Chibi, although the ships were on fire, most of the Cao army was forced to jump into the water, some of them drowned because they were not accustomed to water, and a large part of them were captured by Sun Liu's forces.
On the other hand, Zhuge Liang's burning of the vine armor soldiers seemed a little cruel. At that time, the leader of the Southern Barbarians was called Meng Yue, who was very brave and fierce, but he could not fight a war, and was always defeated by Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang did not want to kill him, but used the tactic of attacking the heart, seven captures and seven columns, during which Meng Yu asked the lord of the Ugo kingdom, Vulture Bone, to lead 30,000 vine armor soldiers to help. What is this vine armor soldier? It is a local specialty. Using vines unique to the local area, they are made of tung oil to become particularly hard and can resist sword slashes. For a time, the Shu army was helpless.
Zhuge Liang thought that the oil could burn quickly in case of fire, so he used a fire meter, and the vine armor on the vine armor soldier was worn very tightly, and it could not be taken off for a while, coupled with the fierceness of the battle, so the vine armor soldiers were all burned to death. It can be said that this was zhuge liang's most brutal battle, and he himself realized that these people were not too wrong, and he had already violated the original intention of the Southern Expedition and carried out such a large-scale torture, and he also felt that he was rebellious and would damage Yang Shou.
