The version of the battle in [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]] is similar, but there are key differences. Zhuge Liang, who is depicted as a mystic, uses magic to summon a favorable wind and guide the fire ships. Also, Guan Yu attacks Cao Cao before he reaches Yiling, but lets him escape. Finally, Sun Quan attempts to kill Liu Bei during the battle, but the assassination fails because of a Zhuge Liang scheme.

==Other Depictions==
===Red Cliffs===
In 2008, [[John Woo]] directed a film called ''Red Cliffs'' that was based on the battle. It is a combination of elements from the historical records, the novel, and entirely new elements. Most notably, Woo writes it as a love triangle between Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and [[Xiao Qiao]], who was Zhou Yu's wife in reality. It is true that Cao Cao tried to abduct Xiao Qiao during the battle, but the rest is entirely fictional.
