    In the battle of the upper valley, Sima Yi was originally trapped in the valley by fire, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and it rained and extinguished the fire, causing Zhuge Liang to fail to annihilate Sima Yi in the battle of the upper valley.

    Because it's raining. At that time, Zhuge Liang besieged Sima Yi's army in the upper valley, and then attacked Sima Yi with fire, but he did not expect heavy rain from the sky.

    Because he didn't calculate that it would rain, and he didn't ambush the strange soldiers at the bottom of the valley, he gave Sima Yi a chance to escape.

    Because Zhuge Liang knew that he had missed the best time, he might have a greater loss in archery and killing Sima Yi.

    Because during this period, the war of the ancient side had consumed a large number of troops, so Zhuge Liang naturally did not have enough troops to shoot Sima Yi.

  6. Anonymous users2024-02-01

    Because the target is too small, Sima Yi is mixed in the crowd, if he shoots arrows rashly, it is likely that he will not be shot, but will startle the snake, so Zhuge Liang will not shoot arrows for the time being.

    Mainly because I feel that the other party is very talented, and there is also a situation of cherishing talents in this process, and I don't want to bring too much trouble to myself because of this, so I will let the other party go.

    Because he felt that he couldn't kill the other party, he didn't issue other orders at this critical moment in the battle, mainly because he was in charge of other operations.

    Because Sima Yi in this period cannot die. Zhuge Liang has his own plans and plans. And he couldn't shoot Sima Yi at that time.

    Because Zhuge Liang felt that Sima Yi was a very respectable opponent, he also respected Sima Yi very much, and would not choose to sneak attack him, but chose to fight him openly.

    Zhuge Liang still cherishes his talent very much, and thinks that Sima Yi is a talent who wants to capture him alive, Sima Yi knows a lot of things, and it will be very beneficial to them after capturing Sima Yi alive.

    "It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." After a battle in the upper valley, he entered the valley and fell into Zhuge Liang's trap, Sima Yi and his son hugged their heads and cried, thinking that they would definitely die. But after God rained and extinguished the fire, Zhuge Liang was bored. Sima Yi and his son led the remnants of the Wei army to escape.

    Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan and came from afar, always wanting to win as soon as possible, but Sima Yi just didn't fight, so Zhuge Liang had no choiceAfter a long time, the previous achievements must be wasted, and the army must be withdrawn. At this time, Sima Yi also saw Zhuge Liang's psychology clearly, and it would not be long before he would definitely retreat, thinking that the opportunity to attack had arrived. Immediately after the Malay report, Zhuge Liang was transporting grain and grass to the upper valley, and it seemed that he wanted to garrison troops for a long time.

    Sima Yi sent people to intercept two carts, and sure enough, it was grain, so Sima Yi wanted to attack the upper valley, once Zhuge Liang's grain and grass were taken, Zhuge Liang's would be defeated. In fact, this is all Zhuge Liang's strategy, this is really the last resort, once it is recognized. It is necessary to withdraw the troops as soon as possible.

    In the TV series, Zhuge Liang feels that the general trend has gone, it is going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, let him go! The real history should be that the height on both sides of the upper valley is still two or three hundred meters away, and even if Zhuge Liang orders the Shu army to release arrows, it will not be able to shoot the Wei army. The distance at which the arrow is shot is at most a hundred meters, and it is impossible to shoot it far away.

    Even if the Shu army pursued the Wei army, the Shu army, which was in ambush on the upper valley, could not pursue the Wei army fleeing in embarrassment. Zhuge Liang knew this very well, so it was in vain to chase after him. Not to mention chasing and killing Sima Yi.

    Moreover, Zhuge Liang also understands the truth of poor Kou Mo Chasing!

    Sima Yi is more like figuring out Zhuge Liang's psychology, and thinks that it won't take long for Zhuge Liang to definitely retreat, and at that time, he can "eat" and even capture Zhuge Liang alive. However, what Sima Yi didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang was transporting grain and grass to the upper valley against the "normal" this time, and was preparing for a long time to garrison troops and fight a war of attrition。This is the last thing Sima Yi wants to see, so after being confirmed by the intercepted Shu Han transport vehicles, Sima Yi decided to attack the upper valley, seize the grain and grass that Shu Han hoarded there, and destroy Shu Han's plan to store grain and garrison troops, so that Zhuge Liang was chaotic without "grain" and defeated without a fight.

    The establishment of a dynasty and the rise and fall of a dynasty have their regularity, not controlled by people, the end of the Han Dynasty is also a fixed number of the decline and fall of the Han Dynasty, unable to return to the sky, Zhuge Liang wants to turn the tide is unrealistic, any dynasty to the decay period, irreversible,Only by starting from a new combination can there be development and vitality. Zhuge Liang burned the valley above, the dragon rained, God helped the Sima family, it cannot be against the sky, if Zhuge Liang still sent troops to chase and intercept the Sima family, he would be punished by heaven. This is the truth that heaven can be violated, but man cannot be violated.

    Because Zhuge Liang did not expect heavy rain, the soldiers did not bring arrows at all, so they did not shoot Sima Yi with arrows.

  14. Anonymous users2024-01-24

    The main reason is that the distance is too far, and the arrow will lose its power after it is fired, otherwise there is no need to attack with fire.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-23

    The main reason is that Zhuge Liang knows that the poor Kou Mo is chasing, and Sima Yi has already seen through what Zhuge Liang is going to do.

    It will still be the Han, but a few years after Zhuge Liang's death, the political situation will change a lot, and the descendants of the Cao family and the descendants of the Sima family will definitely unite to destroy the Han.

    What if he was burned to death, there is also the general Deng Ai, Zhuge Liang is a politician, but he is not an outstanding military strategist, he can imagine that after his death, Deng Ai sneaked up on Yinping Code, and Liu Chan is a guy who surrendered without a fight.

    Even if the upper valley is a real event, what can he do if Sima Yi is burned to death, and he is not the only general of the Wei State.

    If Sima Yi died, Zhuge Liang would still not be able to reunify.

    1.The national strength is still inferior to Cao Wei, and from the perspective of territorial area and economic strength, Cao Wei is in an absolute advantage.

    2.Cao Wei is full of talents, one Sima Yi is dead, Cao Wei still has many good generals, and the withering of Shu Han talents is not something that Zhuge Liang can change personally. Cao Wei Group has paid great attention to the cultivation of talents since Cao Cao, and Guo Huai, Hao Zhao, Deng Ai, and Zhong Hui in the later period are all outstanding handsome talents who can take charge of themselves, and there is only one Jiang Wei in Shu Han, who was received by Zhuge Liang.

    Sima Yi died, and in the face of so many outstanding and handsome talents of Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang could not care about each other, and the destruction of Shu was at most a few years long.

    I feel that between Shu Han and Cao Wei, I am afraid that Shu Han will still die, and Zhuge Liang will not be able to change it. Moreover, even if Sima Yi died, Zhuge Liang would just expand the territory of Shu Han to the north a little more, and it would be inevitable to be defeated. What's more, even if Zhuge Liang can become stronger step by step, Cao Wei is helpless, will Dongwu sit idly by?

    Don't forget that Sun Quan's existence is to balance the strength of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Liu Bei is strong, and he relied on Cao Cao to fight the Battle of Yiling, cross the river in white clothes, and attack Jingzhou; Cao Cao Qiang, attached to Liu Bei, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Shiting, and several Northern Expeditions. If Sima Yi was really burned to death, and Wei was really at a disadvantage, Wu would definitely take action.

    It's not that he doesn't want to kill him, but because of the situation at the time, he can't rashly send troops to chase him, once Sima Yi has an ambush in the rear, it is possible that the only troops of Shu will be buried, this is a situation that Zhuge Liang does not want to see, after all, the Northern Expedition has entered a white-hot state, which side makes a little mistake, it will fall into a state of no return.

    Not only that, Zhuge Liang can be said to be a cautious person, he will not fight this kind of uncertain battle, originally said that the fire in the upper valley could have a chance to kill Sima Yi, but God played a joke with him, and suddenly it rained heavily and saved Sima Yi's life. So to a certain extent, Zhuge Liang will feel that God has left Sima Yi a way to live, after all, it has not rained in Qishan for several years.

    In addition, Zhuge Liang's physical condition at that time could no longer support him to fight another war. Not long after the Battle of the Upper Valley, Zhuge Liang died with a whimper. So he had to lay out these back roads in advance, after all, it was not very easy for such a large army to retreat safely.

    Although on the surface, Sima Yi fled in embarrassment, but in fact, his strength was not damaged too much, once he returned to the past and relieved, he may make a comeback again, at this time the Shu State that lost its backbone may not be able to withstand Sima Yi's attack, and thus be annihilated by the Wei State.

    Therefore, Zhuge Liang also ordered his subordinates to push his wooden statue on the edge of the cliff after his death to achieve an effect of scaring Sima Yi, and the result was also a good success in scaring Sima Yi away, and the army was able to retreat safely.

    Because Shanggu itself was fictionalized by Luo Guanzhong in writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there was no such war in history. Zhuge Liang's sixth Northern Expedition to Wuzhang Plain, no matter how you call the formation, Sima Yi just can't hold out, Zhuge Liang is sick and died, don't you read history and watch TV? This is clearly stated in CCTV**'s documentary "The World of the Three Kingdoms", and it is also what I don't understand after watching "New Three Kingdoms", because even if it rains on that terrain, the rain can drown Sima Yi, and Sima Yi's upward arrow rain will also seriously affect the sight of the Wei army, not to mention that Zhuge Liang condescendingly occupies the terrain advantage, so I went to check it out, and I was in the fourth grade at the time.

    Why write such a low-level thing?

  27. Anonymous users2024-01-11

    Because in Zhuge Liang's heart, Sima Yi is also a very smart person, and because it rains, he can't judge whether the other party is ambushed, so he didn't kill him.

This is Zhuge Liang's cleverness, Zhuge Liang did this because he knew that Guan Yu would definitely not kill Cao Cao, and he would definitely let Cao Cao run away. In fact, Zhuge Liang did what he did on purpose, because he knew that if Guan Yu really killed Cao Cao, in fact, the biggest beneficiary was not their Shu Han regime, but Sun Quan's Eastern Wu regime benefited the most.
