Before and after the Battle of Shiting, Sun Quan wrote to Zhuge Liang, hoping that he would send troops. However, Liang knew that Cao Wei might retaliate, and the plan was ingenious. The rumored retreat without being able to attack is not as Zhuge Liang wanted. He brought a month's worth of food, and he didn't have to go down to Chencang, just trying to besiege and lure Wei reinforcements. When Zhang He and Cao Zhen arrived, Liang fled, so that the Wei army did not dare to attack Wu Tu again. Cao Zhen mistakenly thought that he could predict Liang's attack on Chencang, but he didn't know what Liang deliberately did, causing the reinforcements to be ambushed, proving that Liang had already anticipated his intentions.
There are various tactics in siege warfare, and they cannot be labeled as shadows because Zhuge Liang failed to attack Chen Cang. The siege of Liangzhi has strong attacks and long-term sieges, not caused by shadows. During the Northern Expedition, Liang won the Fourth Battle of Lucheng, and then besieged Shangqi, indicating that the siege under the superiority of troops was feasible and the shadow did not exist.
The siege is extremely difficult, and the attacker needs to ensure absolute superiority. Liang set up a village west of Wugong Water, wanting to break the Wei army in one fell swoop. The city guard gave up the initiative, and the city was helpless. Sima Yidong set up camp in the east, not defending the city, and broke Zhuge Liang's plan to break the contact between Longxi and Guanzhong. Tactically, the two sides confronted each other across the martial arts water.
The problem of grain and grass plagued the Northern Expedition, first.
Second, the four times of "retreating after running out of food" can be proven. The Fifth Northern Expedition, Liang was in Tuntian on the Weinan Plain, and Sima Yi did not obstruct it. When the two sides confronted each other, they could not see the problem of grain and grass, and Yi Ying made a clear plan.
In this bizarre operation, Yi almost only pursued after Liang's operation or blocked it in his direction, and did not take the initiative to force Liang back. Compared to the previous confrontation, Yi appeared negative. Bright or not invincible, but compared with Yi, there should still be room for power.
Wei has always advocated defending the west and fighting in the east, because of the steep Shu Road, Zhuge Liang's cautious use of troops, and the limited national strength, which made it difficult to do anything on the western front. However, the Shu army temporarily solved the problem of grain and grass, and the whole army was dispatched to annihilate a unit, and it was expected to destroy the Shu Han regime, and preparations for defeating the Shu State were also brewing. Jiang Wei's defeat in the later period directly led to the Jin State changing its offensive and attacking the west and defending the east. Sima Yi's strategic victory lies in the crushing of national strength, and his tactical retreat stems from defeat, and there is no contradiction between the two.
If Wei can defeat Zhuge Liang cleanly, Wu may not need to attack, and Gongsun Yuan may not rebel. If Wei defeated Liang with minor battle losses, it would delay each of Shu's northern expeditions. Strategically suppressing encirclement is better than holding on to encirclement, tactically "soldiers are expensive and fast is not expensive for long", and political defeat is conducive to stabilizing domestic and foreign domination, and also helps to crush the development of the opponent's national strength.
