description: Finally someone addressing this! The "borrowing the east wind" scene is pure invention with no historical basis whatsoever. I'm glad more people are starting to question the novel's accuracy.|

description: Honestly, I don't care if it's true or not. Zhuge Liang is my favorite character precisely because of those legendary moments. The real history can be interesting, but it will never be as cool as borrowing the east wind with empty boats.|

description: I teach this novel every semester and I always have to remind students: Romance of the Three Kingdoms is historical fiction, not history. Luo Guanzhong added so much drama and romance—that's literally the point. People forget the actual title.|

description: Wait, so how many of his famous accomplishments were actually real? Did he really conduct those six northern expeditions or is that exaggerated too?|

description: Excellent point about Bowangpo and Red Cliffs. Modern historians have thoroughly debunked these "miraculous" victories. Zhuge Liang was brilliant, yes, but he wasn't a wizard. The novel turns military strategy into magic.|

description: The Romance is basically historical fan fiction at this point. Still love it though—sometimes the legend is more interesting than the truth.|

description: This is fascinating! I've always suspected the novel exaggerated Zhuge Liang's abilities, but I never realized how much. Can't wait to read the full article to learn what he was actually like.|
