A brief introduction to the story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat

The story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat:

Zhou Yu was very jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. One day when Zhou Yu was discussing military affairs, he asked Zhuge Liang to rush to make 100,000 arrows. The clever Zhuge Liang saw through it at a glance and said it was a harmful plan, but he calmly said "it only takes three days." Later, with help from a foggy day, Zhuge Liang took advantage of Cao Cao's suspicious character and mobilized a few straw boats to lure the enemy. Finally, he borrowed 100,000 arrows and accomplished a miraculous feat.

The straw boat borrowing arrows is a story about the Battle of Chibi in the Chinese classic "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". As a result, Zhuge Liang's courage and wisdom were praised by later generations, which led to many idioms, anecdotes and dramatic performances.

Extended information:

In "The Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", there are several key elements that are the key to Zhuge Liang's success:

1. Having knowledge of astronomy and geography, etc. His ability to calculate and know specific astronomical phenomena is a personal talent and knowledge that few people can match Liang, that is, the ability to think with great wisdom.

2. Being alone in the Zhou camp and gaining Lu Su’s support and providing help strictly in accordance with Liang’s requirements (if Lu Su’s preparations for Liang are delayed, it will not help the borrowing of arrows). It is the material basis for success. As the saying goes, "A good man needs three gangs, and a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice."

3. Timing, that is, at the right time, Zhou Yu wants to harm Zhuge Liang and form a military mission that may lead to death. Only in troubled times can heroes emerge, otherwise they are just like dragons out of water. Only when there is demand can there be a market.
