The history of science, in a sense, is the history of illusion and failure, the history of the great fools who work with clumsiness and inefficiency. --Yoshihiko Terada
Liu Xiu's luck is not bad, "summoning" meteorites, meteor showers to help. Open and hang with strength. And hundreds of years later, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms was also powerful. But it's all in romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang is clever and clever, and his wisdom is almost like a demon. I don't know if I found the law, Cao Cao loves to cut off grain and grass, and Zhou Yu loves to reverse the plan. What Zhuge Liang was good at was fire attack. And he used it many times.
For example, when Bowangpo retreated from Xiahou Huan, Xinye burned Cao Cao enough; at the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang borrowed the East Wind and almost buried Cao Cao here; when dealing with the shu civil unrest, Zhuge Liang burned the vine armor soldiers, defeated Meng, subdued the barbarians, and quelled the southern chaos.
There were many fire attacks, more than 200,000 soldiers before and after the long-term hope of Bowang Xinye, and 830,000 soldiers in the Battle of Chibi. With so many soldiers, Zhuge Liang had no fear when he burned them, but when he burned the vine armor soldiers, he showed timidity. Sighed and said, "It will damage Yang Shou.". What is the reason for this?
This incident has to be recalled to the ninetieth time of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After Meng defeated Zhuge six times, someone gave him an idea. Seven hundred miles to the southeast, find the king of the country of Ugo, Vulture Bone, to borrow his vine armor soldiers. The soldier uses rattan armor as armor, and the sword and arrow are not allowed to enter, and the water is not wet. Crossing the river is unsinkable, light and firm, invincible.
Meng Yue gladly went forward and broke the Shu soldiers. Wei Yan was defeated, and Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun to help Wei Yan defend the village. The next day he went to find a plan to calm the barbarians. The natives led the way, and Zhuge Liang looked through the geography and found a valley shaped like a long snake, named Pan Snake Valley. Zhuge Liang Daxi:
This is god-given me to succeed in this also
According to this, Zhuge Liang laid out a plan - please enter the urn. Let Wei Yan fight and go, and lead the barbarians into the Pan Snake Valley. The barbarians won fifteen consecutive battles, singing all the way, without the slightest idea of the plan. Smoothly enter the Valley of the Pan Snake.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang immediately asked the soldiers to throw torches, ignite the mines in the black oil tanks in the valley, and ordered Zhao Yun to burn the grass on the valley mouth car. At this time, the fire in the valley was dancing wildly, and the vine armor of the vine armor soldiers was an oil-soaked thing, and it was inevitable to meet the fire. The vine armor soldiers in the Pan Snake Valley were all invincible, burning so that they hugged each other and stretched out their fists and legs.
The vine armor soldiers all died in the valley, and the smell was inaudible. Zhuge Liang sighed with tears:
Although I have contributed to the society, I will lose my longevity
The reasons for this are as follows:
First, whether it is the fire of Bowang, the fire of Xinye, or the fire of Chibi, these fires are inexhaustible. However, the fire of the Pan Snake Valley burned to the end, so that the Country of Ugo did not keep seeds, is not very cruel? Isn't that a big sin?
Second, the first few fires were burning Cao Jun. Cao Cao is a Han thief, Zhuge Liang is in the Kuangfu Han Room, and fire is the fire of justice. However, the burning of the vine armor soldiers belonged to the Shu civil war, and it was the people of the Shu state who were burned to death (who were attached, that is, the Shu people). Overall, it is in line with the main theme expressed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Third, burning the vine armor soldiers is indeed a great sin, and the great sin is a great loss of yin and morality, and it will damage yang shou. And why did Zhuge Liang fall in Wuzhangyuan? Luo Guanzhong laid the groundwork here.
Fourth, to set off Zhuge Liang's personal image, so when Zhuge Liang confides in the generals and the plan he has just made, the generals bow down and say:
Heavenly chance, unpredictable also
The reason why Zhuge Liang came up with this plan was for the sake of the community, wasn't this after bowing down and dying?
On the Internet, there are great gods who use their own flood power to explain the reason with the help of chemical principles: when the oil-soaked vine armor is burned, a large amount of dioxins are inhaled into the body by Zhuge Liang. In turn, the body is damaged.
However, it has to be said that success is also fire attack, and defeat is also fire attack. Zhuge Liang finally withdrew with a failed fire attack.
