yourfavouritefriend SG

what do u think are the main reason why Cao Cao lost?

798 SG

zhou yu's cunning tactics. Laughing

Father Lim SG

Zhou Yu + Zhuge Liang + Pang Tong...
u think u can win??

798 SG

one of main factors was cao cao was too over-suspension of his generals dat he thought they betrayed him.

Sweet[Saint] SG

It was the mis-calculation by Cao Cao.. thinking that there wont be east wind during this time.

FBI SG

executed alot of good generals

798 SG

one of main weaknesses of cao cao armies were:

they have no navy specialists comparing to sun quan's expert navy-men since they lived near the river most of the time.

another disadvantage is liu bei ally wif sun quan. how to win like dat?

i think the main reason he lost is because he is over-confidence. Based on his talent, he can beat Zhou Yu, Pan Tong or Zhuge Liang any time

Really mama? SG

Cao Cao was defeated from within. His insecurity defeated him. He even managed to beat Sun Tzu son didn’t he?

chanjk SG

I think Cao Cao his side...

1) no navy specialist because he has killed his...
2) his troops are not used to water,sea and ships
3)he chain his ships ( I don't know about this but I guess he did) so the ships have limited mobility

Then for his enemies...
1) they already had plotted him (huang gai!)
2) Eastern wind! (I think it is fiction)

I think if Cao Cao listens to his advisors, he will not attack in the first place and he will not lose. Too bad...

chi bi, not ci bi.

the ships were chain to one another to prevent the soldiers from getting seasick due to the shaking of the ships from the tide. this had proven the troops were not used to water.

huang kai (wu general) made use of the chain ships to set fire.
