Why was Zhuge Liang, who had a brilliant plan, drowned out by the sudden heavy rain when he burned Sima Yi?

Zhuge Liang, as one of the highest advisers in the Three Kingdoms period, from caring for the thatched cottage to helping Liu Bei divide the world into three parts. His originality is beyond doubt. He gathered two rivers, arranged eight arrays, six out of Qishan, seven out of Meng Huo, and arranged seven-star lanterns. Borrow the east wind, set fire to Chibi, and help Korea care about the thatched cottage with loyalty and righteousness.

It can be seen from the burning of Chibi and the seven-star lantern array in the east wind that Zhuge Liang is good at divination and astronomical phenomena, so why did it suddenly rain when Sima Yi was burned in the Northern Expedition?

From Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang was invited out of the mountain. Before Zhuge Liang went down the mountain, he looked at the geese flying south outside the window and said to Liu Bei, Destiny is hard to break! In fact, Zhuge Liang has done his best for Liu Bei's country. The fire suddenly gathered in a torrential rain because of the clear sky in Wan Li, and did not burn Sima Yi. On the contrary, Zhuge Liang got sick because of the rain and eventually died in Wuzhangyuan!

First of all, let's look at the reasons why Zhuge Liang set fire to Sima Yi at that time. At that time, Zhuge Liang had few troops in the Battle of Shanggu, but he was chased by Sima Yi's army. Zhuge Liang may have calculated that it will rain, but he can only take risks. Besides, after the fire, Sima Yi's army had no morale and could not pursue it, so he had to put all his eggs in one basket.

If it is God's will to burn the valley above, it is God's merciless refusal to protect Liu and accept Zhuge Liang. These two stories have exactly the same ending. It means that providence can't be violated, and providence can do whatever it wants? Kong can't turn defeat into victory again!

In fact, the situation at that time can be explained by science, because the valley above is a basin. The hot airflow generated by the fire rises from the bottom to form a hot airflow with water vapor, which meets the cold airflow above the empty valley to form a rain cloud air mass. The water vapor condenses due to cooling, and the rain douses the fire. Zhuge's strategy of luring the enemy into the sea of fire was right, and it was also the best choice under the confrontation situation at that time. It's just that the plan is not careful, and whether it is deployed in place or not will affect the implementation effect of this plan.

I understand that Zhuge Liang's estimation and judgment that it hasn't rained for several months in a row are correct, and so is the fact. After the war entered the stage of luring the enemy and lighting the flame at the bottom of the valley, the influencing conditions of the weather changed accordingly. Zhuge Liang should not have predicted this situation in advance, nor could he make effective arrangements and adjustments according to the changes (in fact, it was also affected by strong winds and other conditions), which led to the fire fighting in the rain and the escape of Sima and his son.

Zhuge Liang is also a human being, not a god. As the saying goes, man is not as good as heaven. To paraphrase Zhuge Liang's words at that time, "it is difficult to know it, but it is difficult to go against it." Only left the eternal regret that "he died before he could conquer."

Some people say that Kong Ming set a deadly trap before he died. I want you to kill me before I die, and I won't let you go after I die. So, this secret made people hide a book named "Tongtian" in the tomb of Kongming in Dingjun Mountain. Tell people to spread it around. Sima Yi knew that Zhuge Liang was resourceful and better than himself because he had a wonderful book, Tongtian, which made him even more powerful. I swear that I must get this book. If I get this book, I will be invincible. The unification of the world is just around the corner. So he sent a group of confidants to Dingjun Mountain to dig Kongming's tomb and steal the book back. Sima Yi was ecstatic and never put down to study this gobbledygook. However, this gobbledygook disappointed him. There are no secrets in this. Each one tells the same repeated story. Every page reads the same line word for word, "Sima Yi will die if he is alive", and there are no other words at the beginning and end. Sima Yi died soon after reading it. The reason is simple and the plan is clever. It is said that Zhuge Liang soaked the book in poisoned wine for 7749 days before his death and hid it in the tomb. Because Sima Yi used his tongue and fingers when reading this book, just like some people are counting money now, and his fingers are too dry to turn pages. Sima Yi, a wise man, died of greed in such a muddle. I believe this anecdote. I hope you don't laugh.
