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...
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.
