Introduction:
The straw boat borrowing arrow can be said to be a very famous "tactical" case in Chinese history. It is about using the straw man on the straw boat to make use of the dark environment to make the enemy use the bow and arrow. The story of the purpose of the arrow. I believe everyone knows the film and television dramas of the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Chuan Borrowing Arrow is also one of the wonderful film and television clips. The "master" of borrowing arrows in movies and TV shows is Zhuge Liang, but is there any fact of using arrows from straw boats in real history? What happened in the real event of , today we come to understand in detail.
In the Three Kingdoms period, the story of the straw boat borrowing the arrow can be said to be a very argumentative tactic. It not only reflects the determination of the ancients to stand firm in the war, but also reflects the wisdom of the ancients. So the "trader" we saw and heard about the deed was Zhuge Liang, but didn't know that the real straw boat borrowed an arrow in history, and its "controller" was Sun Quan. During the 8 years from 211 to 219 AD, although Sun Quan had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, he had established his own empire structure. During these eight years, Sun Quan and Cao Cao and Liu Bei separated and merged, sometimes cooperating as close friends and sometimes alienating as enemies.
But it is Liu Bei who is really alienated, even to the point of being guilty. Sun Quan is not like an honest person. When he is in harmony with Cao Cao, he will fight with Liu Bei. When he meets with Liu Bei, he will fight Cao Cao. It can be said that Sun Quan is not friends with anyone, but he is not an eternal enemy with anyone. and the straw boat borrowing arrows is the story between Sun Quan and Cao Cao.
In 213 AD, after several years of rest and reorganization, Cao Cao began to march into Ruxukou, with the goal of revenge. At that time, Cao Cao claimed to have 400,000 troops, but due to the defeat and retreat in the Battle of Chibi, the morale of the army was low. Zhang Liao and Zang Ba cheered each other up, but their hearts trembled. Fortunately, after winning the first battle, broke Sun Quan's Jiangxi camp and captured Gongsun Yang.
After Sun Quan knew of this, he quickly led 70,000 troops to resist, and Cao Jun retreated steadily. After that, Cao Jun stayed on guard, just didn't come out. Sun Quan sitting on the boat watching Cao Cao's navy was also worried, Cao Cao did not dare to attack. As long as Sun Quan’s boat moves forward, he ordered random arrows to be shot. At that time, a whole side of the ship Sun Quan was sitting on was shot. At this time, the hull was slightly tilted. Sun Quan quickly ordered the ship to be moved to the opposite direction. When Cao Cao fired his arrows again, this side of the hull was also full of arrows, and the hull was balanced.
The two sides fought for a full month, and Cao Cao saw that Sun Quan's troops and ship equipment were cleaned up, and he didn't have much confidence, so he had the idea of retreating from the North. But Cao Cao wants to be too strong. If he walks away like this, wouldn't it be a joke. It is precisely because of this kind of "face" that Cao Cao is holding on here. I don't want to fight, and I don't want to go back. At that time, it was the rainy season with continuous rain. Sun Quan knew that the northern army like Cao Cao was not suitable for water warfare, so he wrote a letter to Cao Cao to humiliate him. The content of the letter is probably: It is the rainy season, and going back is the most suitable choice for you. The letter
has some meaning to mock Cao Cao's army for lack of combat capability, but Cao Cao was very happy after reading it. Because I was worried and didn't know what reason to retreat, this time I finally got down. So he said to his men: Sun Quan did not want to bully others. It means that Sun Quan knows that Cao Jun is not good at waterways, and during the rainy season, he does not want to "bully" people with this, so can't fight. So Sun Quan didn't want to fight anymore. What's the point of Cao Jun staying here? He could only withdraw his troops back to the court. So Cao Cao thought that Sun Quan despised him, but he gave himself a step down.
As for the sentence that Cao Cao felt to everyone: giving birth to children should be like Sun Zhongmou. It also fully reflects Cao Cao's admiration for Sun Quan.
Conclusion: The real grass boat borrowing arrows in history may not be as exciting and perfect as we imagined. is just an accidental incident when Sun Quan looked away from Cao Jun's team. But in any case, Sun Quan's ability is unquestionable, so that Cao Cao would give him such a high praise.
