The name of the story about seeing the weather through the clouds.
Take advantage of the east wind to burn Cao Ying.
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu made a plan to attack Cao Cao with fire. However, the northwest wind has been blowing on the river for several days, and the fire attack will not only burn Cao Bing on the north shore, but will burn himself. Zhou Yu was depressed by the east wind and was ill in bed. After Zhuge Liang knew it, he gave Zhou Yu a prescription. Zhou Yu opened it and read: If you want to break Cao Bing, attack him with fire. Everything is ready except the east wind. Zhou Yu admitted that his mind was guessed by Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang what he could do. Zhuge Liang said he could borrow the east wind. Zhuge Liang is familiar with astronomy and geography. By investigating the changes of topography and biology, he has figured out that there will be a southeast wind on 1 1 20th of the month, so he pretended to make a few strokes on the Seven Star Altar. 1 1 On the 20th of the month, there was a southeast wind blowing. Zhuge Liang accurately predicted the time of the east wind based on the analysis of weather and climate change and his own experience. However, in order to fool Zhou Yu, he set up an altar to worship God.
