Chapter 201
It's foggy outside.
Qi Cheng lay in bed, looking at the weather outside, feeling a bit reluctant to get up. However, he still had to go to work today, which made him feel a bit annoyed. Seeing that he still had plenty of time, he lay in bed and picked up his tablet to watch.
He had something in mind, and he planned to see if there was any victory in a war in ancient times by taking advantage of the fog.
……
In ancient warfare, favorable timing, location, and people were crucial. Many battles were weather-related. Let's begin with a familiar legend.
During the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu was jealous of Zhuge Liang and ordered him to produce 100,000 arrows within a month. However, he did nothing for the first half of the month.
One day in the second half of the month, he borrowed a dozen boats from Lu Su, filled them with straw men, and took advantage of the thick fog on the river to sail towards Cao Cao.
As they approached Cao Cao, drums suddenly roared. Cao Cao, on the shore, thought Sun Quan was taking advantage of the fog to attack, so he ordered his soldiers to fire arrows wildly.
[Finally, Zhuge Liang returned with a boatload of arrows.]
Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao's face turned black. Did he look so stupid that he would shoot arrows at random in the middle of the night? Besides, in this kind of situation, they usually shoot fire arrows.
If Zhuge Liang dared to come, he would have been roasted to death long ago.
How do people in later generations view me? First, I labeled myself a tomb robber, and then made up stories to slander me. If I could go back to later generations, I would definitely point at them and scold them.
You have your brain, too.
Sun Quan was also a little helpless. The Battle of Chibi had a lot to do with his side. Why were there so few people on his side, and why was Zhou Yu given a narrow-minded character?
The real Zhou Yu is not like this.
How people in later generations made up stories has lost all its authenticity.
Liu Bei laughed while drinking.
"Prime Minister, people in later generations admire you so much that they even made up this story." Zhang Fei took a sip of his wine. "But they don't seem to understand the current situation. Who could shoot an arrow so accurately in the middle of the night?"
Zhuge Liang remained silent because he was thinking about another thing. It seemed that people in later generations did not have to worry about vision problems at night, so did they have any solutions?
It should be an easy thing.
……
Qi Cheng certainly knew about the story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat, and he also knew that it was a secondary story. The original protagonist should not be Zhuge Liang, and of course the purpose was not to borrow arrows.
Continue scrolling down on the tablet.
Speaking of battles in the fog, there's one battle I have to mention, because it was a war fought by our ancestors. It was because our ancestors won that we are here.
【This is the Battle of Zhuolu.】
Qi Cheng was stunned. The previous game was just a story, but this one had turned into a myth. However, there was something the blogger said that was wrong.
Both sides are actually our ancestors.
The descendants of Yan and Huang and the common people.
Chiyou's tribes were primarily concentrated in the coastal Lusu region, and the people of the Shandong Peninsula today may still be his descendants. He also saw news a few days ago that a professor studying the genes of the Lu people showed that they were all descendants of the ancient Lu people.
Immigration and the like do not change the genetic makeup.
The Battle of Zhuolu was fought between the Yanhuang tribe and the Chiyou tribe. Legend has it that the Chiyou tribe had a rain master who could summon wind, rain, and even fog.
[The Yellow Emperor's side was helpless at first, but later he received help from the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens and created a compass car, which allowed him to find his way in the fog.]
【Finally defeated Chiyou.】
Daqin
Qin Shihuang looked at this story and touched his head. He asked Fusu if there was any record of this story now. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like it was made up by later generations.
Even the Queen Mother of the West came out.
He is no longer the Qin Shi Huang of the past. He looks at these matters concerning ghosts and gods through tinted glasses. What does the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou have to do with the gods in heaven?
It seems to be made up.
"Well, there are indeed records in ancient books, but I think there may not be so many stories. It's just a simple story about the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor defeating Chi You."
"The rest were added by later generations."
Qin Shi Huang nodded, then suddenly remembered something: "Chi You is the Lord of War. It is customary to offer sacrifices to him in various places. You should find a suitable place to offer sacrifices to him as well."
Fusu agreed in a low voice.

What Liu Che valued more about this story was the compass car. After all, several of his generals were prone to getting lost. With this compass car, it would be easier for them to identify the direction.
"The south-pointing chariot is something similar to the Sinan. Let the Shaofu experiment and see if we can make one that can be carried by the army." Liu Che ordered.
"If the Shaofu can make it, we can take advantage of the fog to launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu." Liu Che asked Wei Qing, "What do you think of this method?"
Wei Qing shook his head. It would be possible if the two sides were close to each other, but the Han Dynasty was not facing this problem. Instead, they could not find the main force of the Xiongnu when they entered the grassland.
If they could find it, the current Huns might not be able to defeat the Han army.
"Your Majesty, those who exploit fog are usually weaker armies. We, the Han, are strong and powerful, and we must be on guard against the enemy taking advantage of fog or other weather conditions to launch surprise attacks on us." Huo Qubing stepped forward and said, "Some generals enforce strict orders in their camps, while others..."
Liu Che nodded. This must be referring to Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang.
In fact, Emperor Wu of Han also had a headache about Li Guang. Li Guang made great contributions in the fight against the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. If he had not accepted the general seal from King Liang, he would have been made a marquis long ago.
"Tell the Shaofu to think quickly and produce results within a month!"
The best defense is offense.
……
Qi Cheng looked at the following videos. In addition to mentioning foggy weather, there are also videos that use weather such as heavy snow or heavy rain, but there is also a requirement here.
The raiding army must be highly motivated or well disciplined, or they would be separated in such weather.
After watching these videos, Qi Cheng felt that the most powerful character among them should be the great magician Liu Xiu. He just didn't know whether the meteorites falling from the sky could be considered extreme weather conditions.
There is no way to defend against this thing even if you guard it with all your might.
Unless Zenith technology is invented, satellites can be shot down with missiles like we do now.
However, Qi Cheng felt that this was simply impossible to achieve. Even with the influence of the sky curtain, it would be difficult for some earlier dynasties to manufacture steam engines.
Things like missiles probably haven't appeared in their imagination yet.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Cheng got dressed and went out to work.
