Why did Sima Yi withdraw his troops when he saw through the empty city plan?Experts interpret the possibility of extinction without withdrawing troops
Historical Records - Yue Wang Goujian Family" said:"The birds are all hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked"。Therefore, there is an idiom"Rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, and birds are hidden"。When Fan Li resigned and returned to the lake, Zhang Liang was walking with Chi Songzi. Later generations often used this idiom to warn ministers to leave a way out for themselves and not to dwell on wrong.
It is often said that following the emperor is like following a tiger. The emperor's heart attack often made him lie on his side on the couch and prevent others from sleeping. Because of this, for thousands of years, countless famous ministers and generals have been imitated and killed by kings because of their high merits and conscience. The so-called lonely emperor is always lonely, because no one will ever trust him forever. This is why it is not uncommon in history for the founding fathers to be liquidated at the beginning of the establishment of a new dynasty. If those who helped to create a new emperor or build a state did not see this, then the family was in danger!
The most important reason why Sima Yi was able to go through three dynasties without being judged by the emperor was that as Cao Cao's subordinate, Sima Yi saw what he had to do as a courtier. Unbelievable?Please look at Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang's empty city plan.
Watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", many people say that Zhuge Liang's empty city plan is full of loopholes, but in fact, he can also deceive Sima Yi, which is incredible. Such an idea is because people don't understand Sima Yi's heart, Sima Yi can dominate the world at a young age, how can he be an ordinary person!
According to the usual logic, even if the enemy army is in danger, it is necessary to explore the truth and the truth, and there is no reason to retreat without a fight. But Sima Yi did not do this, and his son Sima Zhao suggested that he take a small army into the city to test the truth. But Sima Yi refused. Sima Zhao didn't understand his father's approach, but the military order was like a mountain, and even if he didn't understand it, he had to withdraw the army. So, what does Sima Yi want to do?
Zhuge Liang sighed that this plan can only be used on Sima Yi. Most people would think that Sima Yi was naturally suspicious, but when he saw Zhuge Liang open the city gate, he would be suspicious and dare not enter the city. And so it is, very effective.
Sima Zhao has always held a grudge against him. Because of this, Sima Yi revealed his true intentions to Sima Zhao before his death: the Sima family was used by the Cao Wei regime at that time, and the ruler would inevitably despise their power. But Shu Han had Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi of Cao Wei and two chess players in his hands. Assuming that he enters the city and kills Zhuge Liang, this situation will not last long, and the butcher's knife of the Cao Wei regime will be aimed at the Sima family, and the demise of the Sima family will not be far away. At this time, Sima Zhao finally understood his father's struggle.
Sima Yi's words really touched Cao Cao's heart. As we all know, Cao Cao is a generation of overlords, and he would rather be at his mercy than slaughtered by others. Cao Cao had countless conscientious generals and strategists under his command. Cao Cao's knowledge of Sima Yi kept him on his toes. Cao Cao even said to Sima Yi: If you can't use it for yourself, you will kill it. It can be seen that the relationship between the Sima family and the Cao Wei regime is very dangerous, and it is like walking on thin ice.
It can be said that judging the situation is a quality that every political master must have, and Sima Yi is undoubtedly the best among them. Sima Yi faced the Three Kingdoms problem at that time and was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, but he couldn't kill him, because Zhuge Liang was his opponent and the umbrella representative of the Sima family.
That's why Zhuge Liang dared to use the empty city strategy to confront Sima Yi and find out the relationship between the Sima family and the Cao Wei regime. Seeing Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, Sima Yi decided to retreat without a fight, but he also saw the situation of his own family, and Kong Ming's move really stabbed the seven cities.
It seems that the empty city plan is actually a plan within a plan. Ostensibly on the battlefield, in fact in the palace, sneaking into the hearts of the people in the palace. If Zhuge Liang's opponent is not Sima Yi, will the empty city plan still work?The answer is simple. If the other party does not eat this set, Zhuge Liang's side may be defeated and die, after all, the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, and the lack of resourcefulness can be reversed.
This empty place is a duel of masters. But as ordinary people, we can also learn a lot from it. First of all, don't underestimate these smart people, the contest between them is often higher than ordinary people in all dimensions, and the solution is tepid on the surface, but the water meter is not alarming. There are many skills in a duel, the most taboo blind spots, as long as you know yourself and know your opponent, you can win all battles. Secondly, people must recognize their own situation and find out their psychological bottom line in order to bring about change. Otherwise, although it may not be as lethal as the ancients, it will lead some people to misunderstand and suspect us, which is not good.
