Why did Zhuge Liang miscalculate back then A heavy rain saved Sima Yi s life

Four famous works in our country.

One of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

, the author Luo Guanzhong to Zhuge Liang.

and Sima Yi's description is different. In his pen, Zhuge Liang has great wisdom and is worthy of Liu Bei.

"Three visits to the thatched house" invited him out of the mountain, and his astronomy and geography are all-encompassing, and he is a rare talent in the world. And Sima Yi has many negative factors in Luo Guanzhong's pen, such as he is insidious and cunning, full of tricks, and has been Cao Cao since the beginning.

Neglect, obscurity. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are countless wars fought against Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, so why was the famous Zhuge Liang's burning of Sima Yi blocked by the heavy rain, which was originally a battle that Zhuge Liang was determined to win, but was escaped by Sima Yi, resulting in the tragic ending of Zhuge Liang's bloody death? I think it can be analyzed from the following aspects.

In fact, the main reasons are because of the terrain, fire, alternating between cold and warm air, and water vapor.

condensation and other geographical factors. Based on a certain geography.

According to the analysis of knowledge, Sima Yi's father and son were surrounded by Zhuge Liang in the valley, and suffered a fire, at this time, a large amount of heat suddenly generated by the valley mouth reacted physically with the previous cold air, and the cold and hot air alternated, causing heavy rain to pour. Because the valley mouth is narrow and the hinterland is relatively wide, such terrain is high on both sides and low in the middle, which is not conducive to air circulation. At this time, Zhuge Liang ordered Sima Yi to be burned, the temperature in the valley rose suddenly, the air on the ground was heated and expanded, the cold air on the upper layer contracted and sank, and the smoke and dust produced by the combustion provided convenience for the condensation of water vapor, so it caused a downpour in an instant.

The secondary reason, according to historical records, is that Sima Yi has the appearance of an emperor, and this escape from death is the will of heaven and an ominous omen of the demise of Shu. People don't fight with the sky, and after Zhuge Liang knows the will of heaven, he will naturally not disobey again, so after the miscalculation of the plan to burn Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang did not implement further encirclement and suppression measures against him, but let him escape.

Therefore, to sum up, when Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi, it suddenly rained heavily from the sky, and there were both human factors and providence factors in it, which was the inevitable result of historical advancement.

When Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi, it suddenly rained heavily, mainly because of the special geographical location of the upper valley. On both sides of the valley high and low entrance narrow, extremely unfavorable to air circulation, once the domestic **, after the temperature rises, the air close to the ground is rapidly heated and expands and rises, at the same time, when a large number of hot air currents rise to a certain height at the bottom of the valley, the water vapor in the air condenses into clouds due to the decrease in temperature, coupled with a large amount of smoke and dust generated by the burning of firewood and grass, with the air rises to a certain extent, so it will rain, therefore, Zhuge Liang will say that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky.

This is affected by the topography and topography of the upper valley, the mouth of the upper valley is narrow, and the hinterland is relatively wide, so that the special terrain makes it difficult for air to circulate. In addition, after setting a fire, a temperature difference is formed between the ground and the sky, and it is extremely easy to rain.

It was just a coincidence that there was a heavy rain due to climatic factors such as topography, alternating cold and warm air, and water vapor condensation. Therefore, it is said that it is up to people to make things happen, and Zhuge Liang's calculation this time is not lost, but after all, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes.

This is added by the author himself for the plot, and there is no such thing in real history.

At that time, he didn't calculate the rain, and then it suddenly rained, Zhuge Liang felt that it should be because of the Mandate of Heaven, so Zhuge Liang resigned himself to fate, so he did not present a pursuit.

Because there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, it is not something that can be controlled by manpower. So he didn't count.

Because he was not a man of God, the climate was so changeable that he could not have predicted it exactly.

At that time, the reason for not releasing arrows was originally that the strong team was weak, and there were many enemies with few enemies, but the crisis had been lifted by heavy rain, and it was easy to expose yourself if you released arrows.

Because Zhuge Liang's army was much smaller than Sima Yi's, if the shears were released, it would reveal where they were buried, which would lead to a frantic counterattack by Sima Yi's troops.

If Kong Ming suddenly releases arrows, he may expose his strength and let the other party counterattack, and his army will lose morale.

Zhuge Liang designed to burn Sima Yi's father and son, which is a bridge in the romance, saying that Zhuge Liang set up an ambush in the upper valley, surrounded Sima Yi's army, and set fire. At that time, Sima Yi's father and son were surrounded by the north, and the fire immediately burned in front of him, which can be described as "calling the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual", Sima Yi was about to explain the future, who knew that at this time, it suddenly rained heavily and saved Sima Yi's life.

This was also the closest Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was to victory, and soon after he died in Wuzhangyuan, and a few years later, the Shu Kingdom was also destroyed. So, why didn't Zhuge Liang at that time order the arrows to be released?

First of all, Zhuge Liang gave up on his own.

At that time, people still believed in the theory of heaven and man induction, and Zhuge Liang was a scholar of heaven and man, and he was even more convinced of this. At that time, after the heavy rain fell, Zhuge Liang looked up to the sky and sighed:The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, and it is not strong!

Zhuge Liang is very interested in celestial phenomena, and he must have calculated that it would not rain in the near future before he caught fire, but it rained heavily at a critical moment, so he thought that all this was providential.

Providence cannot be violated!

In other words, Zhuge Liang already thought that it was impossible for him to defeat the Wei State, and in that case, he couldn't kill Sima Yi and Fu Ze, even if he made up the arrows, it wouldn't change anything. In other words, even if Sima Yi is killed, there are still Zhong Hui, Deng Ai and other talents behind him, and the general trend of Shu is gone.

Secondly, it is not possible to make a contribution by firing arrows.

In the upper valley, Zhuge Liang is condescending, although Sima Yi is surrounded, but he still has a large army, and there are rock protrusions under the valley, and there are still many places for Sima Yi to hide. Moreover, after the fire was extinguished by the rain, the smoke was steaming, and the line of sight was not clear.

Moreover, after the rain, the morale of the army on Sima Yi's side was greatly boosted, while the morale of the Shu army was low, and there was no longer the spirit to continue fighting, and there was no point in holding on.

In fact, although the development of history needs to be promoted by important figures, one or two specific people will not be able to determine the development of history. Even if Zhuge Liang could kill Sima Yi, with the national strength of Shu at that time, it would be impossible to defeat Wei.

It was because he felt that this shirt was a chance to be sold in the rain or early sale to Sima Yi, and the weather was particularly bad in heavy rain at that time, so there was no way to guarantee that Sima Yi could be shot to death if he used a bow and arrow, and it was possible to waste a lot of bows and arrows, and Zhuge Liang wanted to attack with fire at that time.

Because the heavy rain will inevitably extinguish the fire, at this time Sima Yi has completed the blind scripture and there is relatively no crisis, so there is no need to release arrows.

Because Kong Ming's team was already in a weak position at that time, if he chose to release arrows at this time, he would expose himself.

Because at that time, he was in a situation where there were fewer enemies, and if Kong Ming released his arrows, he would expose himself.

Although Zhuge Liang is wise, he is not a god. It is not difficult to analyze the situation at that time, Zhuge Liang has been fighting for many years, and he has become ill from hard work, and he himself knows that he is seriously ill and is very anxious. Finally lured Sima Yi into the upper valley with a wooden ox and a flowing horse, no matter what there was rain or not, he quickly attacked, who had thought that heavy rain would fall from the sky, and Sima Yi and his son escaped from death.

Only then did Zhuge Liang lament that "the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky"! It reflects Zhuge Liang's exhausted impatience, and also reflects the final return to the node of history.

Many stories of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms itself are fictional, and Zhuge Liang is not as divine as the legend, if it is really as the author said, how can he not clean up a mere Sima Yi? Since Liu Bei's death, Shu Han has completely lost the right time, place and people, relying on the strength of Zhuge alone, it is impossible to have the slightest chance of winning in the face of the powerful Wei State no matter what. It is impossible for him himself not to understand.

But he wanted to go against the sky, and finally used his life to verify the sentence "It is easy to know the sky, but it is difficult to go against the sky". Whether it is official history or romance, this point is the same. As for the valley above the fire extinguished, it is a microcosm of what Zhuge Liang has done in his life.

The fire burns the valley above. Zhuge Liang wanted to get out of Qishan, the most difficult person to deal with was Sima Yi, racking his brains and finally tricking Sima Yi into the upper valley, in the earth fire, Sima Yi sighed, when the three of them were about to die, suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, the fire was extinguished, Sima Yi escaped, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, Sima Yi should not be killed!"

According to the physical explanation, because the upper valley is also known as the gourd valley, the shape of the valley is like a gourd, after the hot gas in the valley is lifted into the air, the water vapor in the high air condenses into a mist, and the debris in the firewood and grass rises into the air to form a condensation nucleus, which eventually leads to a situation of heavy rain downpour. In the romance, Sima Yi and his son need to usurp Cao Wei's military power, and they can't die, and here Zhuge Liang didn't expect the rain to reflect the excitement of the battle between the two sides.

Soon after this, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. Zhuge Liang was good at using fire attack all his life, which was meritorious to Shu Han, but this practice "violated the harmony of heaven", so the failure of the Seven Stars Life Renewal Lantern was also an inevitable result, which also complained about Wei Yan's appearance. Zhuge Liang worked hard for Shu Han all his life, worked hard all his life, and did not fulfill Liu Bei's last wish to unify the world and restore the Han Dynasty.

I want to burn Sima Yi to death! It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

Back then, Zhuge Liang trapped Sima Yi because of his destiny, and Sima Yi's life should not be extinguished.

Zhuge Liang didn't expect it to rain in the mountains of Shanggu, so maybe this was Wuhou's miscalculation!

When Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi in the upper valley, Sima Yi fled due to a sudden heavy rain, and there was no chance to confront Sima again. However, why didn't he shoot arrows at Sima Yi when the fire besieged Sima Yi at that time? And why didn't you set up 100,000 elite soldiers to surround the valley mouth early?

In my opinion, first of all, since it was to be burned with fire, there would be no more elaborate preparation of bows and arrows, and only some archers would be arranged at the valley where Sima Yi was likely to break through to shoot individual Wei troops who had slipped through the net, but such archers would not play much role against the Wei army that had already penetrated into the valley - preventing the Wei army from breaking through mainly relied on roadblocks such as rolling logs and the fire that ignited at the mouth of the valley; secondly, the upper valley is very deep, and the range of bows and arrows is limited, so it is difficult to play a role in mass destruction (when Zhuge Liang spoke to Sima Yi above, Sima Yi did not order the archers to shoot at Zhuge Liang, which is probably the reason); Third, there should not be too many ambushes at Taniguchi, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed. If 100,000 ambush soldiers had been set up at Gukou, I am afraid that they would have been discovered by the Wei army long ago. Again, to prevent the Wei army from breaking through and destroying the fires that they mainly relied on mines in the valley.

This plot is described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it has not been recorded in the official history. But even though it is a ** family saying, this plot is not without reason: Zhuge Liang's attack on Wei was in the spring and February of the second year of Wei Qinglong (which is true), which is a season of warm and cold at first.

When Sima Yi was introduced into the upper valley, the Shu army ignited the gunpowder buried at the bottom of the valley, and the fire burned to produce a huge amount of heat and rise with it. Today we all know that precipitation is produced due to the convergence of warm and humid air currents. When the enormous heat rising from the valley floor above reacts violently with the strong cold air over the valley, a sudden heavy rain is a logical occurrence.

Zhuge Liang is not a meteorological expert, he is clear about the general meteorological laws, but he can't be strict with this kind of special sudden rainfall that he can't expect - of course, in fact, Luo Guanzhong doesn't understand the truth.

This is because Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind when he borrowed arrows from the grass boat, which is equivalent to a kind of hanging. So it must be returned. The number of days is constant and does not favor one side or the other. Zhuge Liang had consumed too much luck before.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this rain is not a physical phenomenon, but just to show that Sima Yi's life should not be extinguished, and it is just a foreshadowing for Kong Ming's death in Wuzhang Plain and Sima's father and son usurping the Wei family. As he said, it is up to man to do things, and heaven is to do things, and you can't force it.

A few years ago, a newspaper published an article about why it suddenly rained when Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi in the upper valley, and the article was analyzed from the perspective of modern science, and I can't remember how it was said, probably meaning that the upper valley is too narrow, and it will rain ...... after the fire burns out for various scientific reasonsWait, the author of the article said that although Zhuge Liang was smart, he didn't understand modern science, so he didn't expect it to rain at that time and failed.

It hasn't rained in Qishan for nine months, how did Zhuge Liang know that it was raining today?

You know the wisdom of Kong Ming. The fire was set by Kong Ming, and the rain was also set by Kong Ming. The upper valley is gourd-shaped.

The burning air inside becomes hot, and the heavenly air is cold. It is very easy to produce water vapor, which is the formation of convective rain. (Convective rain:

It is a precipitation phenomenon caused by convective movements in the atmosphere, and is also customarily called a hot thunderstorm. The formation mechanism is that the air near the surface layer is heated or the upper air is strongly cooled, which causes the air in the lower layer to rise, and the water vapor cools and condenses, which will form convective rain).

And why did Kong Ming deliberately want it to rain.

There are three reasons: 1. Wei Yan had always hated Zhuge Liang at that time, but he didn't dare to say why. It's because he's afraid of Sima Yi. If Sima Yi dies here, Wei Yan will definitely rebel in advance.

2 At that time, it was the time when Cao Zhen's army was preparing to attack Shu. It hasn't rained for 90 days. A rainy day will be accompanied by a rain for the next month. Sure enough, it rained heavily for 30 days, forcing Cao Zhen to retreat.

3 At that time, the power of Wei had been controlled by Sima Yi, and those good generals had also been suppressed by Sima Yi. If there is no Sima Yi. Cao Zhen's troops will definitely attack Shu without a military division.

And Wei Yan will definitely rebel in advance. When the time comes, the two sides will not fight without wisdom. The beneficiary is definitely Wu Guo.

Kong Ming is really a god and a man.
