Is there a record of Zhuge Liang s empty city plan in the Three Kingdoms

No, Luo Guanzhong inserted the content of the empty city plan in order to further reflect Zhuge Liang's clever calculation.

The text is not, but Pei Songzhi's note has recorded it, and accordingly refutes this statement.

Legend has it that Cao Cao made an empty city plan to deal with Lu Bu, but Zhuge Liang did not make an empty city plan.

No, it was purely made up by a Zhuge Liang fan later.

There is no record in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and the one that is recorded is Zhao Yun's.

There is no empty city plan to say that the ** family made up.

There should be, go to the library and check it out yourself.

The empty city plan used by Zhuge Liang was Xicheng, which is now Ankang City, Shaanxi Province.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is written that Wei sent Sima Yi to attack the Shuguo Street Pavilion, and Zhuge Liang sent Ma Jian to garrison it and failed. Sima Yi led his troops to take advantage of the victory and approached Xicheng, Zhuge Liang had no soldiers to meet the enemy, but he was calm and calm, opened the city gate, and played the piano and sang music on the city tower. Sima Yi suspected an ambush and led his troops to retreat.

In fact, this is just a small story made up by Guo Chong in the commentary, Sima Yiyuan was in Luoyang during the Battle of Jieting, and returned to Wancheng after conquering Mengda, thousands of miles away from the place of occurrence, and Zhuge Liang fought against Zhang He, Kong Ming saw the defeat of Jieting, and quickly withdrew to Hanzhong. So, the event itself is fictional.

Synopsis of the story of the Empty City Scheme:

Zhuge Liang sent troops to Yangping and sent all his troops to attack the Wei army, leaving only a few old and weak soldiers in the city. Suddenly, I heard that Sima Yi, the governor of the Wei army, led an army of 150,000 to attack the city.

Zhuge was not afraid of danger, ordered the city gate to be opened, 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.

The strategy of the empty city plan:

When those who are forced to be cornered due to unexpected pressure, the purpose of using this trick is to try to get through the test or avoid suffering greater losses.

Because this plan has great uncertainty and risk, and there are many initiatives and opportunities still in the hands of the other party, therefore, in the case of Wan Pao's prudent judgment, it is not appropriate to use the empty city plan, and at the same time, this plan should not be repeated and used many times.

In the actual strategy, risks often coexist with opportunities, interests and successes, "do not enter the tiger's den, but get the tiger's boy", the ingenuity of the empty city plan lies in: we must be good at correctly and timely grasp the other party's strategic background, psychological state, character characteristics, etc., and solve their own crisis with strange strategies at the time, place and person.

During the Three Kingdoms, the reason why Zhuge Liang was able to boldly retreat from the enemy with an "empty city" was that he could accurately feel Sima Yi's cautious, suspicious and weak psychological state, and Zhuge Liang's ingenious and bizarre way of thinking enabled him to successfully resolve the temporary crisis.

Synopsis of the story of the empty city plan: Zhuge Liang led a large army to the north to attack Cao Wei in order to realize Liu Bei's long-cherished wish, but lost the strategic street pavilion due to the misuse of Ma Tan, and the 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. Expanding the data 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 Liang's empty city plan is famous all over the world.

Although this matter is a first-class romance, in fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there were really excellent examples of using empty city strategies.
