Sima Yi saw through the empty city plan at a glance, why did he still withdraw the army?

Although he had already seen through the empty city plan, he was not sure if Zhuge Liang had any follow-up moves, so he didn't dare to enter the city at all and withdrew his troops directly.

Maybe he knew that this might be a trick designed by Zhuge Liang, so he withdrew his troops in order to be safe.

Which sentence in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" says that Sima Yi has seen through the empty city plan? Are the people who ask this question shameless?

Because his suspicions were too heavy, he was afraid of the trap set by Zhuge Liang, so he withdrew his troops.

Because he found out that there was an inside story. If the large army continues to follow, it is afraid of a sneak attack. Retreat is also a wiser choice.

Because he didn't want to take too many risks, if there were really people in the city, then his army would probably lose a large part of its strength.

Sima Yi himself knows this, so he would rather confront Zhuge Liang all the time and secretly expand his strength than capture Zhuge Liang alive.

Because if Zhuge Liang is killed, the Cao family will open a knife on the Sima family and destroy the Sima family.

Because after killing Zhuge Liang, he has no use value, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and Sima Yi is afraid that something will happen.

If Sima Yi took this opportunity to kill Zhuge Liang, then he would not be reused in the army.

Sima Yi was skeptical, although he guessed that there should be no one in the city, it was deliberately used by Zhuge Liang to confuse other people's eyes, but he was not sure, in case there were people inside, it would be a big deal, so he withdrew his troops just in case.

Because Sima Yi is an old fritter, his vision is more long-term than others

First of all, let me explain,The matter of the empty city plan did not happen between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi in history, but because this story is very exciting, it was written into the Romance**, which is used to bring out Zhuge Liang's wisdom and Sima Yi's cunning, let's take a look at the story of the empty city plan based on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The empty city plan occurred during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in the late Three KingdomsOriginally, Zhuge Liang's dispatch of troops this time was very smooth, and he won many big battles one after another. Cao Wei's high-level officials were very alarmed, so they had to use Sima Yi, who had been idle for a long time (Sima Yi was dismissed because he was suspicious of Cao Wei's high-level officials before). After Sima Yi returned to power, he first quelled Meng Da's rebellion with a thunderbolt, and then rushed to the front line with a swift whip.

After Zhuge Liang learned of Sima Yi's movements, he also made corresponding strategic adjustments in time, and handed over the most critical choke point, the street pavilion, to Ma Yan, who could only talk on paper.

Ma Tan "lived up to expectations" and successfully lost the street pavilion, although Zhuge Liang was distressed with blood, but the fact was done, seven inches were choked by Sima Yi, and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to retreat. Because the battle of Ma Tan Street Pavilion was defeated too quickly, Zhuge Liang was also caught off guard, and there were only one or two thousand people around him, Zhuge Liang, who had no generals available, was trapped in Xicheng and directly faced Sima Yi's army of more than 100,000 troops killed from the street pavilion

If you are an ordinary person, you may have fled, but Zhuge Liang knows Sima Yi's personality very wellTherefore, the soldiers made a dangerous move, neither escaping nor closing the city to defend, but directly put the empty city in front of Sima Yi, the door was wide open, and Zhuge Liang himself was sitting on the top of the city burning incense and caressing the qin. Sima Yi was very puzzled, the army did not dare to move forward, and finally Sima Yi chose to retreat, and the reason he gave at the time was:Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life and refused to take risks, so there must be an ambush in such an empty city, and he could not enter.

The reason given by Sima Yi is actually very unreliable, so why do you want to withdraw from the army? In fact, this has to start with Sima Yi's own situation. Sima Yi has been prominent since Cao Cao's time, but he was overshadowed by Cao Cao, only doing some staff work, and never had real power, even so, he was constantly suspicious of Cao Wei's high-level officials.

has already been dismissed, and seeing that his career is hopeless, it is the appearance of Zhuge Liang that gives Sima Yi the value of being reused. If Sima Yi eliminated Zhuge Liang so quickly, then."The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hiddenIt is impossible for Sima Yi not to understand such a simple truth.

Therefore, whether Sima Yi sees through Zhuge Liang's empty city plan or not, retreating is the best choice.

Third, the Cao family is suspicious and the people in the Cao family are very suspicious, although they reuse Sima Yi, they are very protective of him. Therefore, when Sima Yi takes every step of the way, he must consider the consequences of good things. Because Zhuge Liang is so powerful, Sima Yi has the opportunity to show his talent and compete with Zhuge Liang.

If Zhuge Liang dies like this, Sima Yi's credit is too high, and there is no check and balance, and there will definitely be no good results.

Zhuge Liang was known for his resourcefulness in the Three Kingdoms, so although Sima Yi saw through Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, he was afraid that the empty city plan was just a cover for another ambush laid by Zhuge Liang, so he chose to withdraw his troops.

Because he knew that if he destroyed Shu Han, there would be no meaning in Cao Wei, and he would not be far from death.

Sima Yi chose to withdraw from the army, because after he saw through the empty city plan, he thought that if Zhuge Liang was defeated, he would definitely take away Sima Yi's military power, which would be particularly unfavorable to him.

Friends who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that there are many famous strategists in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the more powerful ones are: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and so on. Among them, the most famous is Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang has made countless contributions to Shu Han in his life, and no one can match his military talents.

The more popular classic schemes are: burning the red cliffs, borrowing arrows from grass boats, burning rattan armor soldiers, empty city schemes, and so on. When it comes to the most suspenseful and daring scheme, it is the empty city plan.

Almost single-handedly scared off Sima Yi's army of more than 100,000. Sima Yi had clearly seen through the empty city plan, why did he withdraw his troops? Zhuge Liang:

If you don't go, you'll die.

Zhuge Liang's empty city plan.

The story starts with Zhuge Liang's first expedition to the north to attack Wei, Zhuge Liang has always kept in mind the dream of the ancestor Kuang Fu Han after Liu Bei's death, so he launched the first Northern Expedition, but Wei because of Cao Pi's death, the new emperor Cao Rui has just ascended the throne not long ago, and he lost the war against Eastern Wu. In the face of the Shu Han army, they were defeated and retreated. After falling three cities in succession, Sima Yi can be said to be in danger.

Sima Yi, who analyzed the situation, made a decisive judgment and ordered the general Zhang He to break the grain and grass of Shu Han to help the army and horses. It was also because of the loss of Ma Tan that the first Northern Expedition of Shu Han failed. However, Zhuge Liang, who cared about the people, insisted on escorting the people to transfer safely, and delayed the time, so that he was surrounded by an army led by Sima Yi in Xicheng.

Zhuge Liang saw this situation and ordered two scholars to stand on the city tower with his guqin, the door of the west city was wide open, and he played the piano on the city tower leisurely. Sima Yi understood and saw through it, so he fled in a hurry. What's going on here?

This is to talk about the situation in Wei at that time, when most of Cao Cao's subordinates had died one after another, only Cao Xiu and the Sima family remained, and the new emperor Cao Rui, although he had just taken the throne for a short time, was good at scheming. Whether Shu Han can be strong mainly depends on Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang is taken down in one go, then Shu Han can be said to have a broken arm, but Sima Yi is not much better.

Because Shu Han does not have Zhuge Liang, anyone can be a general, and it is only a matter of time before Shu Han can be taken down. But without Zhuge Liang, Cao Wei's new emperor Cao Rui will also clean up the internal affairs and abolish the Sima family, who controls the government. So it was precisely because Sima Yi saw it very clearly that he didn't dare to rush into Jincheng, as long as he entered the city and found that it was an empty city, Zhuge Liang could not escape his doom.

So is Sima Yi's family fate far from death?

That's because he can't afford to gamble at all, and he's afraid that there is really an ambush here, so it's impossible to make fun of so many people's lives and retreat.

If Sima Yi captures Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi may be seized power or killed, and in order to prevent this from happening, Sima Yi releases Zhuge Liang.

That's because if Sima Yi destroyed Zhuge Liang, then Cao Cao would no longer reuse Sima Yi, and the reason why Cao Cao reused Sima Yi was to use Sima Yi to deal with Zhuge Liang.

Because he didn't want to end up being unloaded and killed by the donkey, forcing Zhuge Liang to death had no use value for Cao Wei.
