What is the last sentence that only owes the east wind (eight-character idiom)
Everything is ready, except Dongfeng (pinyin: wànshì jùbèi i, zh ǐ qià n d not ngf ē ng) is a complex sentence idiom in a historical story, which comes from 49 chapters of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Everything is ready, except the east wind" originally meant that Zhou Yu was going to attack Cao Cao with fire and made all preparations. Suddenly, he remembered that he could not defeat the enemy without blowing the east wind. After this metaphor, everything is ready, except for the last important condition. This idiom is generally used as a clause in a sentence.
Idiom story:
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars continued, and heroes from all walks of life recruited troops to compete for the world. At that time, Cao Cao pacified the north and intended to further unify the world, so he led 800,000 troops south, ready to wipe out the forces of Liu Bei and Sun Quan in one fell swoop. Liu Bei was stationed in Fancheng, but he didn't expect to come suddenly, so he had to flee hastily and sent Zhuge Liang to Sun Quan for help, hoping to unite Sun Quan against Cao.
Zhuge Liang met Sun Quan, analyzed the situation in the world in detail, and advised Sun Quan and Liu Bei to unite. Sun Quan hesitated: "I heard that Liu Beigang was defeated. Why should I unite with him? " Zhuge Liang said, "Although Liu Bei has just lost the battle, there are still many soldiers under his command. Besides, Cao Cao's army came from afar and was already exhausted. Their soldiers come from the north and are not used to fighting on water. If the general is willing to send tens of thousands of troops to discuss with Liu Bei, he will surely defeat Cao Jun. "
Sun Quan agreed very much, so he went to discuss with his subordinates. At this moment, Cao Cao's surrender book was also sent to Sun Quan. Sun Quan showed this letter to his men. The ministers were frightened by Cao Cao and advocated to surrender quickly. Only Lu Su disagreed. He advised Sun Quan not to surrender and asked him to recall the famous Zhou Yu.
As soon as Zhou Yu came back, he said to Sun Quan, "The general has occupied the Jiangdong area, and the army is elite and sufficient. Why did he surrender to Cao Cao? Now Cao Cao led the troops to fight Wu Dong, apparently to die. Cao Jun is a northerner. He doesn't adapt to the weather in the south. When the weather is wet and cold, he is sure to be acclimatized. What can he type? The general should take this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop! "
Sun Quan is determined to unite with Liu Bei against Cao. Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were reunited, and the two armies of Sun and Liu went upstream to Chibi, where they were crossing the river. At that time, as Zhou Yu had expected, Cao Jun was already ill and demoralized. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to fight with Cao Cao, and Cao Jun lost. Cao Cao had to take the water army to Jiangbei to meet the enemy and put the warships on the north bank to practice sailors.
Zhou Yu berthed the warship on the south bank, facing Cao Jun across the river. Cao Jun soldiers were not used to life on the ship, so they connected the warships end to end. Huang Gai, under Zhou Yu's command, suggested: "It is most appropriate for Cao Jun to connect warships together and attack with fire." So Zhou Yu found ten warships, filled with dry wood, poured oil on them, wrapped them in tents, inserted flags, and prepared speedboats to be tied to the stern. Huang Gai first sent messengers to see Cao Cao and lied that he would come to surrender.
Then Huang Gai set out with ten warships. The warship came to the center of the river, hung up its sails and made rapid progress under the violent east wind. When soldiers in Cao Cao's army saw it, they all thought that Huang Gai had come to surrender, and there was no defense at all.
When the warship approached Cao Jun, Huang Gai ordered people to ignite at the same time. At that time, the flames were blazing, and warships quickly rushed into Jun's fleet and set all Jun's ships on fire. The fire spread, even the barracks on the shore of Cao Jun were not spared. Cao Jun was in chaos, and Zhou Yu took the opportunity to lead the elite troops to attack on a large scale, and Cao Jun was defeated. Cao Cao led the rest to flee hastily, while Liu Bei and Zhou Yu pursued from land and water at the same time, and Cao Jun suffered numerous casualties.
This battle is Battle of Red Cliffs. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao lost the possibility of reunifying the whole country in a short time, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei began to grow and develop because of the victory of this war, gradually forming a situation of tripartite confrontation among the three countries.
