1. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led the Wei army to conquer the territory of the Eastern Wu, and Zhou Yu of the Eastern Wu deployed his troops at Red Cliff, across the river from Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao ordered all the ships to be linked up, so that the soldiers could practice their water combat skills before going to war. Zhou Yu knew this and was very anxious. So Huang Gai set up a bitter trick to fake surrender to Cao Cao in order to attack with fire, and Zhou Yu agreed. Huang Gai then wrote to Cao Cao, saying that Zhou Yu was out of his depth and that the Wu army would be defeated. He would bring provisions to Cao Cao, who was of course delighted. On that day, with a strong wind from the southeast, Cao Cao went to the river to greet Huang Gai. He saw a fleet of ships with "Huang" written on their flags, and Cao Cao said that Huang Gai had come to join him and was unprepared. The boats were loaded with flammable materials, and when they were less than two miles away from the Cao army, Zhou Yu's soldiers released rockets and set the boats on fire, which rushed into Cao Cao's fortress, immediately setting the Cao camp on fire and killing and wounding many of the Cao soldiers. Cao Cao's surviving soldiers no longer had the heart to fight and had to flee with them.
