Three Kingdoms (2010) Episode 93 Part 3/3 (English Subtitles)

I once heard my university professor explain this battle as follows: The entrance to Shangfang Valley is narrow, with a broad interior. The sides are high, and the middle is low. This type of terrain is not conducive to air circulation. Once a fire starts in the valley, the temperature begins to rise, causing the air close to the ground to rapidly heat up and expand upwards, while the upper and surrounding cooler air contracts and sinks, creating a strong convection valley wind, resulting in fierce winds. At the same time, as a large amount of hot air rises from the valley floor to a certain height, the water vapor in the air condenses into clouds due to the lower temperature. Additionally, the large amount of smoke and dust produced by burning brushwood rises into the sky, providing ideal nuclei for water vapor condensation, thus accelerating the condensation process. The small water droplets in these clouds collide and merge, gradually increasing in size, ultimately leading to a torrential downpour that extinguishes the fire in Shangfang Valley, allowing Sima Yi to escape. Even though Zhuge Liang was highly skilled in astronomy, this advanced level of knowledge would not have been accessible during that era.

Sima Yi: Your Late Majesty, your servant, Sima Yi will come to see you now. Dead Cao Cao: Nope, nope, nope. Don't wanna. Take this rain. Go. I don't wanna see you here.

When Zhuge liang said "even the heaven can not save Sima yi " maybe was a deciding moment to show his arrogance and rain starting to fall.

What I learn from this episode is that ... Sometimes, you can be the smartest guy in the room, but it doesn't necessary mean you can win if luck isn't on your side.

This was by far one of the most badass episodes in the series

The episodes between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are truly my favorites.

It starts raining at the end? No Wei.

Props to the director for making it extremely dramatic and intensified Kong Ming's death. This whole event is fictitious though.

12:39: Sima Yi's thoughts: Holy shit...it actually rained. I actually almost killed myself.

Speak of Cao Cao and he shall arrive even if it's in the form of rain just to troll Shu. Cao Cao is the true troll of the Three Kingdoms.

Whats sad is zhuge liang didnt call for who liu bei became by calling for his lord not his majesty (ju gong instead of bi sha). He worked himself to death to keep the promise he made to the humble man he first met at his cottage.

12:15 "God damn it!"

The saddest scene in the whole series.

12:14 look at how sad Zhuge Liang is, must be really heartbreaking for him

NEVER LAUGH TOO EARLY

Sima Yi was soooo close to dying

This is the end of the battle between 2 geniuses

now this was a hell of an episode

@6:36 The lesson is to never speak against Heaven...a great reminder that pride and humility turn the tide in all the affairs of men.

At least Sima Zhao is not lazy in this and history unlike his Dynasty Warriors counterpart. I prefer him in this version better. No offense to those who liked DW's Zhao.
