- Using straw boats to borrow arrows
Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang visited the Wu camp to assist Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was envious of Zhuge Liang due to his talent. Not only that, Zhou Yu regards Zhuge Liang as a threat to Eastern Wu. While Jiang Dong was short of equipment, Zhou Yu forced Zhuge Liang in a short time to make enough 100,000 arrows. Besides wanting to add military equipment, Zhou Yu’s main purpose is to eliminate Zhuge Liang, because Zhou Yu thinks this is impossible. However, Zhuge Liang only needed three days to earn more than 100,000 arrows, scaring Zhou Yu.
To be specific, Zhuge Liang requested 20 large boats, each manned by a few soldiers and filled with straw human-like figures. He directed his troops to beat war drums and shout orders in order to simulate the sound of an attack. The Wei soldiers rushed out to meet the “attack,” but couldn’t see through the fog and fired volleys of arrows at the sound of the drums. Many arrows became stuck in the straw and soon penetrated the straw figures. Hence, he easily completed the task assigned to him by Chu Du.
Zhuge Liang is thought to have been able to do this task because he used his QiMen knowledge to determine the correct time as well as the appropriate direction of river fog.
