The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was a classic ancient Chinese novel. There was a famous plot in it-"Borrowing the East Wind". In the novel, Liu Bei and the others wanted to use the east wind to launch an attack during the Battle of Red Cliff, but the weather was very cold and the east wind did not appear. However, Zhuge Liang suggested a smart way-to use fire attacks. He had people place torches on the ships and light them at the bow, hoping to burn down the walls and troops around Red Cliff. However, the fire attack did not succeed because the weather was too cold and the east wind did not appear. Liu Bei and the others had no choice but to retreat. " Borrowing the east wind " was a plot that displayed the accurate analysis of the weather and the application of fire attack technology by ancient military strategists. It was also one of the plots that flashed with wisdom in the novel.
