    Because he wasn't sure if Zhuge Liang really had an empty city plan, Zhuge Liang was cautious, and in Sima Yi's opinion, even if he saw through the empty city plan, he didn't dare to enter the city at will, because he wasn't sure what would be in the city.

    This is because Sima Yi feels that he and Zhuge Liang have the same heart and mind, and there is a feeling that heroes cherish heroes, so they choose to withdraw from the army.

    In fact, Sima Yi didn't see through the empty city plan. He withdrew because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang had troops hidden in the city.

    As we all know, Zhuge Liang was a military advisor during the Three Kingdoms period, and he left a legendary image of knowing astronomy and geography to contemporary people, and he was a legendary figure with a belly full of wisdom. One of the strategies was embodied in the empty city plan laid for Sima Yi. Everyone knows that Zhuge Liang took advantage of Sima Yi's suspicion to let Sima Yi withdraw without blowing any effort.

    It is precisely because of this that people will feel admired.

    This tells us that in times of military war, we must not only understand ourselves, but also understand our opponents, so that we will not encounter danger in various wars. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were like this, at that time only Sima Yi was able to confront Zhuge Liang, so they both knew each other best, and then launched five Northern Expeditions in order to help Liu Chan regain the country and Liu Bei's kindness.

    At the time of the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang staged an empty city plan. At that time, Zhuge Liang sent people to garrison the street pavilion, but he didn't expect Sima Yi's army to march smoothly and go straight to Xicheng. It just so happened that there were no troops in Xicheng, and his subordinates all persuaded Zhuge Liang to run away quickly, but Zhuge Liang didn't run, and came up with the "empty city plan", but Zhuge Liang didn't have much chance of winning the "empty city plan", but he could only give it a go.

    After that, he asked his subordinates to disguise themselves as ordinary people, sweep the floor at the city gate, and play the piano and drink tea on the city tower, showing that they are not afraid of heaven and earth. However, Sima Yi was also suspicious and afraid of being shut down and beaten, even so, Sima Yi still chose to retreat and march without hesitation.

    However, if there was no Zhuge Liang in Cao Wei's time, Sima Yi would not be valuable when he was in Cao Wei. At that time, Zhuge Liang also had no available soldiers, and in this case, Sima Yi could withdraw his troops. It proves that Zhuge Liang had already seen through Sima Yi's calculations at that time, and knew that Sima Yi would not do anything to him.

    Zhuge Liang was also very nervous at that time, and then he reflected Sima Yi's wisdom, Sima Yi had long known that Zhuge Liang had run out of oil and dried up and could no longer pose a threat to him, and because Sima Yi was a far-sighted person and didn't want to see the move, this proved that the two of them were destined opponents. That's what they're going through.

    The main points are the following 3 points:

    1.Zhuge Liang was forced to use it, Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life, and rarely did such uncertain countermeasures!

    2.Using the enemy's consistent view of you to sway the enemy, Sima Yi thought that Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life, and he would definitely not make such a decision, so he didn't dare to act rashly, provided that Nian Yi's opponent was also a strategic, if it was replaced by a military general like Zhang Fei or Lu Bu, he wouldn't think so much!

    3.When using it, you must have a calm temperament, that is, even your own subordinates can't let them know the danger of things, otherwise it is not easy to stabilize people's hearts.

    Empty city strategy, this is a psychological tactic. When we are unable to defend the city, we deliberately expose the emptiness in our city to the enemy, which is the so-called "void of the void". 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 Liang's empty city plan is famous all over the world.

    If Sima Yi kills Zhuge Liang, Cao Rui, the monarch of Wei, will not keep Sima Yi, because Cao Rui is afraid that Sima Yi will rebel, that is, the bird will hide the bow, but if Sima Yi does not kill Zhuge Liang, Cao Rui will keep Sima Yi, because only Sima Yi can deal with Zhuge Liang, not that Sima Yi is afraid of Zhuge Liang

    Because Sima Yi was very suspicious. And Zhuge Liang is very powerful. He was afraid of heavy blows.

    Because he had not yet developed his strength in Cao Wei, he was worried that Cao Wei would unload himself and kill the donkey after Zhuge Liang was forced to die, so he pretended to be in the middle of the scheme.

    Sima Yi didn't dare to kill Zhuge Liang, when Zhuge Liang was alive, Sima Yi was useful to Wei, if Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi would also be liquidated by Wei, so Sima Yi chose to retreat in the face of the empty city plan.

    I think so. Because Sima Yi could have sent a death squad to go in to find out the truth at that time. How Zhuge Liang died, then Sima Yi has no value at all. The only thing that awaits him is destruction.

    Sima Yi chose to retire when he was planning to empty the city because he chose to save his life, otherwise after Zhuge Liang's death, he would be next.

    That's right, Sima Yi is an old fox, if he really wants to kill Zhuge Liang, he can send some of his soldiers into the city to investigate, so that it is even more foolproof.

    The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, if the empty city plan is broken, Zhuge Liang must not have a good end, and then Cao Cao feels that he will not be able to restrain Sima Yi's talent, and with Cao Cao's suspicion, he will definitely find a way to end Sima Yi's life.

  14. Anonymous users2024-01-25

    Because the reason why Cao Cao used him at that time was that Cao Cao couldn't defeat Zhuge Liang. So if Sima Yi defeats Zhuge Liang, then the only thing that awaits him is death.

    Because he wanted to leave a way back for himself, he was worried that Cao Wei would unload the mill and kill the donkey without Zhuge Liang.
