Part 1 of Episode 39 in the Rotk Tv Series (Due to some faults.., this episode will join in with the following Episode 40) : As each of the Sun-Liu generals prepare to head for their destinated positions to battle the Cao Army and with Huang Gai getting his false defection Fire Plan scheme ready..., Cao Cao, of whom he is still being kept in the dark by all that is against him, is initially glad that Huang Gai is coming over to surrender with supplies, and but is that warned that Huang Gai's defection plan could be a fake one as considering the oncoming boats with supplies are sailing so fast towards them. Realizing this..., Cao Cao tries his best to send a few men to stop Huang Gai, and but it was too late as Huang Gai sets the fires on each ship to draw them towards the Cao Fleet. In turn.., Cao Cao was indeed very shocked by the disaster that is unfolding before him as his ships started to catch fire one by one and with many of his troops dying as due to the heavy fire attack that is blown through the strong wind direction. But through much hope, perserverance and through the help of his veteran generals.., Cao Cao is able to narrowly overcome all obstacles and traps that withstood his path, and just when Cao Cao and his men think that they were almost home free during their final step on the Hua Rong Valley.., never did they then know that the final general whom is awaiting their arrival would be the almighty and honourable Guan Yu. Although knowing that his was the end for him.., Cao Cao is persuaded by his advisors to try and talk into Guan Yu as to let him remember the times where Guan Yu was showered with kindness and graditute when Guan was submmitting to him. On the other hand.., Guan Yu, in knowing that Cao Cao had onced showed him kindness before.., decides to let Cao and forces to narrowly escape death and onto the city of NanJun, and while Guan Yu himself is facing a dilenma of getting executed by Military Law as because of not obeying the order of slaying Cao Cao. Meanwhile.., the Sun-Liu forces celebrate their triumphrant and brillant victory of smashing Cao Cao's 830,000 strong troops at the deceisive Battle of Chi Bi.....
This series seems to be based on the novel by Lao Kuan Zhoung. This might be a buzz kill but the historical record says the battle of Red Cliff consisted of 250 000 men for Cao Cao and 50 000 for the Wu and Lui Bei alliance. There was no long term stand off between two forces at Red Cliff. The only strategic tactic that is historically true is the false surrendering of general Huong. Lao was one hell of a creative writer though.
