During the Fifth Northern Expedition, Sima Yi used the turtle shrinkage tactic to resist Zhuge Liang

The reason why many people ridicule Sima Yi for using turtle shrinkage tactics to resist Zhuge Liang is first because many people think that Sima Yi does not have the integrity of a manly manAs the governor of Wei, he shouldn't have been cowering in the base camp, especially in the face of Zhuge Liang's endless provocation and humiliation, he should take the initiative to send troops to fight with Zhuge Liang, only in this way can he show the true colors of a man, after all, he is a husband who is powerful in the sky, so what is there to fear of death? <>

Secondly, because at that time, the strength of Wei was still greater than that of Shu as a wholeIt can be said that this is an objective fact. If there is a normal confrontation, Zhuge Liang's strength will definitely not be enough for Sima Yi to eat, so Sima Yi has no need to be afraid of Zhuge Liang at all, he can concentrate his superior forces to attack Zhuge Liang's camp, and if the follow-up battle goes well, he can even take Shu in one fell swoop, so from this level, many people think that Sima Yi is a timid person, and then they will naturally laugh at him, after all, what he did is not quite consistent with the objective facts. <>

But then again, Sima Yi's approach still has his reasonsYou must know that Cao Ei did not trust Sima Yi very much at that time, and it is no exaggeration to say that Sima Yi was guarded against everywhere, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one on the Wei side who could deal with Zhuge Liang, I believe that Cao Ei would never have been able to let Sima Yi be the governor of Wei, of course, Sima Yi also knew that if he defeated Zhuge Liang very smoothly in this battle, then when he returned to the court, what was waiting for him would be Cao Ei's most cruel blow. <>

Therefore, Sima Yi must first show the enemy weaknessAnd then at this stage of shrinking, he slowly reflected his value, only by doing so could he save his life after defeating Zhuge Liang, otherwise he would definitely not end well.

Because Sima Yi was not Zhuge Liang's opponent in the previous times, and because of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang's magic and clever calculations were also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he was ridiculed.

Because many people can't understand Sima Yi's approach, they think that Sima Yi is as timid as a mouse and doesn't have the courage to resist Zhuge Liang head-on.

Because the strength of the two sides was about the same at that time, but Sima Yi never went to war, no matter how Zhuge Liang provoked him, he didn't come out, so his soldiers felt that he was spineless.

Because he was frightened by the deceased Zhuge Liang at the last moment and didn't dare to fight back, many people laughed at him, but in fact, his tactic was very powerful.

Because Sima Yi knew that Zhuge Liang was cautious and scheming in his life, his first reaction when he saw Zhuge Liang was to be scheming.

Not! Because Sima Yi knew that Zhuge Liang was a powerful opponent, but Shu Han had a shortcoming, that is, there was not enough food and grass, so Sima Yi couldn't stick to it and retreated by himself for Zhuge Liang.

Because Sima Yi knew that he was not Zhuge Liang's opponent, and he couldn't see Zhuge Liang's depth, he was very afraid of Zhuge Liang.

Sima Yi led the troops to resist the enemy this time, using the original strategy: to hold on. Because he knew that it was not easy to transport the grain and grass of the Shu army, and as soon as the time was delayed, the Shu army would definitely retreat from the grain.

Zhuge Liang is also well aware of the importance of grain and grass. In order to solve this transportation problem, he designed and created wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport grain and grass. At the same time, he was still on the south bank of Weishui"The shirt is divided into bright soldiers and tuntian, which is the foundation of long-term residence", let part of the army engage in agricultural production, and prepare for a long or graced battle with the Wei army.

Of course, Sima Yi was not cowardly, in fact, the strategy he adopted at that time was the most beneficial to the Wei army. This can be seen from Zhuge Liang's reaction, Sima Yi did not fight, he sent people to the front of the battle to insult the other party one after another, trying to provoke the other party to fight. It can be seen that the two armies are fighting, benefiting Shu and not Wei, which is the consensus of the generals of both sides.

Therefore, Sima Yi's intention is naturally obvious, that is, to wait for work and drag the expeditionary Shu army.

This confrontation was the last Northern Expedition presided over by Zhuge Liang himself, and soon after, he went to the underworld to report. As soon as Zhuge Liang died, the Shu army quickly retreated, and at the same time declared Sima Yi's victory. Judging from this result, Sima Yi's "turtle shrinking strategy" is not only correct, but also has indeed achieved very good results.

But before that, he almost fell for the enemy's agitation. Zhuge Liang saw that all kinds of insulting methods were useless, so he deliberately sent ** to Sima Yi. The soldiers of the Wei army saw that the commander was about to become a ** boss, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, Sima Yi saw that if this continued, he was afraid that his army would be in chaos first, so he went to the table to ask for battle.

As a result, Emperor Wei Ming directly rejected it, and sent a special envoy Xin Bi to supervise the war, in order to prevent Sima Yi from starting a war without authorization.

After Xin Bi came, Sima Yi asked for battle many times in a row, but was stopped by the other party with the emperor's orders. It can be seen that when the insult rises to a certain level, Sima Yi still dares to fight, but the emperor does not allow it. That's enough to illustrateSima Yi was actually not timid, and the previous retreat without a fight was only implementing a correct and effective strategy, with the intention of dragging down the Shu army without a fight.

BecauseSima Yi didn't think it was necessary to fight Zhuge Liang, and there was no certainty of victory in the battleBut it would be an exaggeration to say that they did not dare to fight.

When Zhuge Liang waved his army to the Northern Expedition, it can be said that he encountered the biggest enemy in his life - Sima Yi, after several battles between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, both of them won and lost, but they were also some not very important victories.

Sima Yi didn't go out of the city, not only because he was good at defending the city, but also because he was not in a hurry, and Zhuge Liang was in a hurry. The reason why Zhuge Liang made many northern expeditions wasI hope that I can break through Cao Wei and march into the Central Plains in my lifetime, if it is not successful, Shu Han will die. On the other hand, Cao Wei,The soldiers are strong and strong, the territory is vast, and the speed of development is incomparable to that of Shu HanLet it develop, Zhuge Liang has no way.

MoreoverZhuge Liang is old, and he works hard for the three armies every day, which can be said to be very tired, and even eats less and less food every day, which shows that his health is getting worse and worseSo for Sima Yi,As long as you defend the city, you can survive until the day Zhuge Liang dies, then the Shu Han army will inevitably retreat without a fightIn this case, Sima Yi will win.

It can be seen that as long as he is a smart person, he will not lead his troops out to fight Zhuge Liang, and will choose to retreat in the city.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were both great military strategists and strategistsSima Yi didn't dare to fight, but at that time, Sima Yi waited for Zhuge Liang to run off the grain and grass before acting.

Zhuge Liang was a great strategist, military strategist, and inventor, and the military equipment he created was particularly suitable for the Shu army to transport grain and fight. The wooden ox and flowing horse and Zhuge Lian's crossbow made the Shu army like a tiger, and several northern expeditions tested Zhuge Liang's wisdom。Sima Yi is indeed Zhuge Liang's nemesis, he knows the characteristics of his opponent, he doesn't fight hard with Zhuge Liang, and when the Shu army runs out of food and grass, Zhuge Liang will definitely retreat.

Soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved! Zhuge Liang's expedition, a long-distance march, what is needed is a quick battle, the morale of the Shu army is strong, Sima Yi knows the art of war, "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion", so he is right, only the brave and unscrupulous will go out of the city to fight.

Sima Yi knew through the words of the envoy of the Shu army that Zhuge Liang's limit was approaching, and his life was short, which was very powerful. Zhuge Liang was so tired that he didn't have time to eat, he was tired to death, and he did his best to die. He Qufei, a doctor of martial arts in the Song Dynasty, highly affirmed Sima Yi:

Zhong Da Ti Qin and Yong's strong soldiers, and those who should not be old to their teachers, are they in vain! It will be all over one win also. However, Kong Ming is dead, Shu Shi is returned, and Zhong Da is not exhaustively chasing after him, covering Kong Ming's death, the soldiers are still full, and the army has not changed, Shu Dao is blocked and easy to ambush, and it is suspected that his pseudo-retreat will tempt me.

To make Kong Mingzhi immortal, and disadvantage in holding each other, then Zhongda's ambition will be successful.

We saw on TV that Zhuge Liang trapped Sima Yi's army in the castlefelt that Sima Yi was cowardly, but it was actually wrong, and the general Zhou Yafu did not fight a decisive battle with the main rebel army of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, but waited until their grain and grass were cut off before sending troops to win.

It's not that Sima Yi didn't dare to fight Zhuge Liang, it's just that he knew that the situation in front of him couldn't do so.

It's not that Sima Yi is afraid of Zhuge Liang, this is because the two of them have different forces, how can they fight, they can only hide.

Why is one thing the smartest one, but the most incapable one after all, there really is no dynasty of Sima.

Sima Yi didn't dare, but he couldn't. Zhuge Liang is the strength of the whole country, and Sima Yi knows that there is also a Wu Guo staring at the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey, and he is very clear about the reason. So insist on not fighting.

Because there is a huge difference in the strength of the army led by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang is famous for his clever and strategic calculations.

Watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in childhood, Zhuge Liang used soldiers like a god, he is the smartest person in our country, and he knew that the three kingdoms had decided on major events in the world, and Liu Bei could only achieve the restoration of the Han dynasty in the future if he took Yizhou and Jingzhou in the west. The military duel between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi is also very exciting, one side fights the main battle, the other side defends, you come and go, and the empty city plan is really wonderful.

Zhuge Liang is a military master who knows astronomy and geography, and he knows how to use geographical location and weather to lay out wars.

I can't beat it... Isn't the defeat of Lucheng dazzling enough??? And from the second Northern Expedition, as long as he held the city, Zhuge Liang had no way, and even tens of thousands of troops could not take Hao Zhao's Chen Cang, which was guarded by more than 1,000 people.

From the fourth time, he fought Sima Yi for the first time, and he fought Zhang He, Cao Zhen, and Guo Huai before. Sima Yi has never touched it.

He naturally has his own purpose, Sima Yi deeply understands the truth that the army fights "one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion", Sima Yi also guessed that Zhuge Liang's limit was approaching, so he dared to consume him so much, which is a strategy and tactic.

It's not cowardice, at that time, Shu Jun no longer had the bravery of the past, and the Wei State also saw the status quo, and used the same to deal with the Wei army, dragging down the Wei army, and won without spending a single soldier.

In the real history, Sima Yi is no worse than Zhuge Liang's strategy, Sima Yi has his own strategic planning, and later history also proves the correctness of the Wei army's insistence, the Shu army is eager to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army but cannot get it, and finally Shu Han was dragged down by the Wei state.

It's not cowardice, he can't hold on, he is waiting for Zhuge Liang's logistical supply difficulties, and then take advantage of the weakness to invade and profit.

One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion", so he is right, only those who are brave and unscrupulous will go out of the city to fight.

Sima Yi didn't dare to fight, but at that time, Sima Yi waited for Zhuge Liang to run off the grain and grass before acting.

Sima Yi is mainly Zhuge Liang's nemesis, he knows the characteristics of his opponent, he doesn't fight hard with Zhuge Liang, and when the Shu army runs out of food and grass, Zhuge Liang himself will retreat.

Sima Yi is indeed Zhuge Liang's nemesis, he knows the characteristics of his opponent and does not go head-to-head with Zhuge Liang.

and Zhuge Liang have a hard time, and when the Shu army runs out of food and grass, Zhuge Liang will definitely retreat.

Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and made many northern expeditions, and Sima Yi adopted a steady strategy. At that time, Wei was the dominant party in terms of national strength, military strength, and combat environment. However, in the face of Zhuge Liang, who was on an expedition of poor divisions, Sima Yi never took advantage of it.

Sima Yi finally let Zhuge Liang Qiufeng Wuzhangyuan, not by fighting, but by dragging. It's not that Sima Yi doesn't want to fight, if Zhuge Liang is like Meng Da, Sima Yi waits for work, not to mention going down to Shu in a war, at least Zhuge Liang will not dare to go on an easy northern expedition. But Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition again and again, Sima Yi basically adopted the strategy of refusing not to fight, that is, because at the level of military actual combat, Sima Yi really had no chance of winning in front of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was quite confident in his military talents. When he was a teenager, he compared himself to Le Yi, a famous general during the Warring States Period, and throughout his life, he did have a high victory rate. Sima Yi is good at using troops to attack his unpreparedness by surprise, and win by surprise, but he can only take a defensive position in the face of Zhuge Liang, and he will defend until Zhuge Liang himself gives up due to illness.

In the few contact battles, the general Zhang He was either killed or lost 3,000 elite soldiers.

Therefore, in terms of military talent, it is estimated that Sima Yi surpasses Zhuge Liang, and it is estimated that it is more unconvincing.

Zhuge Liang is a more resourceful and clever person, what he says and what he does have causes and consequences, and there is also a certain basis, so even if the other party has a lot of power and resources, Zhuge Liang still has a way to defeat them.

Because Zhuge Liang is not only good at using soldiers, but also good at psychological tactics, while studying the opponent's formation, he will also grasp the opponent's psychology and study a set of plans.

If I were Sima Yi and held the military power in my hands, there was no need to send most of the army to fight Zhuge Liang in order to destroy Zhuge Liang once, and the other party also wanted me to fight hard with him.

Secondly, if I am hiding in the city, I will definitely win. In this case, why don't I spend my mind on Gao Pingling, but work hard with Zhuge Liang?
