Where does the story of the Empty City really take place?

It happened in the Three Kingdoms period....The real one is Cao Cao's empty city retreat from Lu Bu. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang retreated from Sima Yi.

It is generally said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang retired from Sima Yi. It first appeared in the Liu and Song dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

It should have been during the Three Kingdoms period.

Historically, Zhuge Liang did not put up an empty city plan, "Zhuge Liang put an empty city plan" is Luo Guanzhong's artistic creation, the battle of the street pavilion, the commander of Wei is Zhang He, not Sima Yi, Kong Ming can not use the "empty city plan" to scare off Sima Yi who is thousands of miles away.

Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhuge Liang Biography": "Later Lord Jianxing) in the spring of the sixth year, (Liang) raised the voice from the Xiegu Road to take the Yi, so that Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were suspicious troops, according to Keigu. Cao Zhen, the general of Wei, rejected it.

Liang led the army to attack Qishan, the formation was neat, the rewards and punishments were strict and the orders were clear, the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding rebelled against Wei Yingliang, and the earthquake sounded in Guanzhong. Emperor Wei Ming was in Chang'an, and ordered Zhang He to refuse to shine. Liang made Ma Tan supervise the army in front, and fought with He in the street pavilion, violated the Liang Festival, behaved inappropriately, and was greatly broken by He.

More than 1,000 families in Liangbaxi County are still in Hanzhong. It can be seen that during the Battle of Jieting, the commander of the Shu army was Zhuge Liang, and the commander of the Wei army was Zhang He. Zhuge Liang is just "more than 1,000 families in Baxi County are still in Hanzhong", and he has not engaged in any "empty city plan".

The synopsis of "The Empty City" is as follows:

During the Three Kingdoms, Shu and Wei exchanged troops, Sima Yi led the Wei army to Qishan, Zhuge Liang expected that the Wei army would seize the key point of Hanzhong Street Pavilion and select generals to defend; Ma Tan asked for the order to go; Before leaving, Zhuge Liang repeatedly instructed that the camp must be carefully selected, and there should be no negligence, and ordered Wang Ping to go with him. Ma Tan was stubborn and self-serving, did not listen to Wang Ping's advice, and camped on the top of the mountain, causing the Wei army to besiege and lose the street pavilion. Sima Yi took advantage of the victory to take Xicheng directly, and the Shu army and soldiers were all dispatched, and Xicheng was empty.

In a hurry, Zhuge Liang was difficult to resist, so he used the strategy of empty city to open the city gate, sit firmly in the city tower, stroke the qin and drink, and be calm. Sima Yi suspected that there was an ambush, so he did not dare to enter the city and led the army away. Ma Jian delayed the military plane, Zhuge Liang was strict in military discipline, although he regretted Ma Tan's talent, and finally cut it with tears; And with the improper appointment of others, the young master is revealed, and he is guilty of omission.

Introduction to the empty city plan.

The thirty-second plan in the "Thirty-six Strategies" refers to the fact that when the enemy is outnumbered, the lack of military equipment and the deliberate defense of the concealed person is not to set up troops, so as to create the enemy's illusion and thus frighten the enemy army. The latter generally refers to the strategy of concealing the emptiness of one's own power and confusing the other party. It is a military book based on China's ancient outstanding military thinking and rich experience in struggle, and is one of the long-standing cultural heritages of the Chinese nation.

The use of this metaphor means that the enemy and the enemy meet and fight, and the use of this strategy can produce wonderful and peculiar effects.

Synopsis of the story of the Empty City Scheme:

In order to realize Liu Bei's long-cherished wish, Zhuge Liang led a large army to the north to attack Cao Wei, but due to the misuse of Ma Jian and lost the strategic place of the street pavilion, Wei general Sima Yi took advantage of the situation to lead an army of 150,000 to the west city where Zhuge Liang was located. At that time, Zhuge Liang had no generals around him, only a group of civilian officials and 2,500 soldiers in the city.

Zhuge Liang gave the order, hid the flag, opened the city gates, and sent 20 soldiers to dress up as ordinary people on each city gate, sprinkle water and sweep the streets. Zhuge Liang himself led two little scholars, brought a piano, and went to the city to talk and laugh.

Sima Yi took the lead in the troops to reach the city, and when he saw this, he believed that Zhuge Liang had been cautious all his life and had never taken risks. Now the gates of the city were wide open, and there would be an ambush inside, so they withdrew.

Extended Materials. Empty city plan, this is a kind of psychological warfare. When we are unable to defend the city, we deliberately expose the emptiness in our city to the enemy, which is the so-called "the real is real, and the virtual is virtual".

When the enemy is suspicious, he will hesitate even more, which is the so-called "suspicion within suspicion". The enemy is afraid of an ambush in the city, and is afraid of falling into an ambush circle.

But this is a "risky strategy" that hangs in the balance. The key to using this strategy is to clearly understand and grasp the psychological condition and personality traits of the enemy general. Zhuge Liang used the empty city strategy to solve the siege, but he fully understood Sima Yi's cautious and suspicious character traits before he dared to take this risky strategy.

Zhuge was not afraid of danger, ordered the Danian Hall to open the city gate, and sent people to the city gate to sprinkle and sweep. Zhuge Liang himself climbed the city tower, sat upright and played the piano, with a calm attitude and no chaos. When Sima Yi came to the front of the city, he was suspicious and afraid that there would be ambushes in the city, so he did not dare to trade in, so he ordered the troops to retreat.
