The answer Zhou Yu tricked Jiang Gan with a fake letter of surrender recieved the most votes: 16 (43,24% of all votes).

 * Zhuge Liang summoned the eastern wind to make the fire-attack succeed. (1 vote)
 * Guan Yu met Cao Cao at Huarong Pass and spared him. (4 votes)
 * Zhuge Liang "borrowed" arrows from Cao Cao with boats of straw. (3 votes)
