Sima Yi decided to attack Xicheng immediately after defeating Ma Su in Jieting. Sima yi originally wanted to cut off the supplies of the Shu army, but Zhuge Liang was caught as a big fish.
There are only 2,500 Shu troops in Xicheng, less than 3,000 pairs 1.5 million. Anyone who knows a little math knows what will happen. Zhuge Liang can not only play psychological warfare, but also make empty plans. The result really scared Sima Yi away.
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi's reason for withdrawing troops is:
Liang Yisheng is cautious and never takes risks. If the gate is opened today, there will be an ambush. If our soldiers advance, they will fall into a trap. Do you know that?/You know what? Retreat quickly.
. I have to say that Lao Luo's excuse is too perfunctory.
After all, Mr. Luo's family wrote novels, not history books, and exaggeration doesn't matter at all.
Luo Guanzhong's empty plan has two purposes. One is highlighting Zhuge Liang? Wisdom is almost demon? Sima yi's army arrived soon, and Zhuge Liang immediately had a solution in his mind; Second, continue to maintain Sima Yi? Suspicious? People set up. Compared with before and after, Zhuge Liang's intelligence is more prominent.
Lao Luo's "Empty City Strategy" was not compiled by himself, and was quoted from "Five Ming Things" by Guo Chong, a man from the Western Jin Dynasty. However, this Guo Chong is a small fan of Zhuge Liang. In order to hold his idol, he made up five things. These five things were neither accepted by Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" nor refuted by Pei Songzhi with historical materials.
In fact, Zhuge Liang's empty city plan in Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be realized in reality, but why do I say Lao Luo is? Perfunctory? So what? The reason is that the number of people led by Sima Yi is 1.5 million.
Now some people say that Sima Yi has 6.5438+0.5 million people. Even if you don't fight, you can attack the city and prevent Zhuge Liang from escaping. Scared away by being alive? It's so fake.
Lao Luo let Sima Yi lead 6.5438+0.5 million people to Xicheng, which is a flaw in itself. In the book, Sima Yi suddenly arrived at Ximen. There is only one way for Sima Yi to achieve this effect, and that is surprise attack. But 1.5 million people how to raid? It took a lot of time just to assemble 1.5 million troops.
A surprise attack requires secrecy and speed, and it can reach the city before the other scouts find it.
Let's talk about secrecy first. Sima Yi150,000 cavalry? Bright? I ran to find Zhuge Liang before I was discovered. Is this that Zhuge Liang's idiot can't keep it, or that Sima Yi will be invisible collectively?
In addition to speed, cavalry is the fastest of all arms. Of course, infantry can also surprise, but as long as both cavalry and infantry are surprise troops, the number will not be too much, and several thousand people will be enough. 1.5 million Sima Yi, not a surprise attack, but a siege.
So the contradiction appeared. If Sima Yi was a surprise attack, there would not be 6.5438+0.5 million people, only a few raiders. So Sima Yi saw it? Empty city? Will be suspicious and suspect that Zhuge Liang is lying to himself.
If Sima Yi has 6.5438+0.5 million people, then it must be a storm and meet Zhuge Liang. Empty city? Only happy. Even though Sima Yi doubted Zhuge Liang's plan, he sent small troops to explore. Therefore, Zhuge Liang scared away Sima Yi's army of 6.5438+0.5 million, which can only exist in novels.
So is there a plan in history? There really is. There are two on Baidu, so I won't mention it. You can go to Baidu if you are interested. This time I'm talking about Xie Ai, a cool Confucian general before the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang's empty city plan relies on an ideal country, but unfortunately he doesn't even have a city.
During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, there was great chaos in five countries. Liang Qian in the northwest is the only regime of the Han people north of the Yangtze River. At that time, the former cool king was Zhang Zhonghua, a very modern name.
At that time, Shi Hu of the post-Zhao Dynasty sent Liangzhou secretariat Ma Qiu to attack Liang Qian with 80,000 troops. Qin Song and others, who were very calm before, surrendered directly with twenty thousand people. I can't help it, but Empress Zhao is amazing.
At this time, Zhang Zhonghua sent Xie Yi to meet them. This Xie Ai has nothing to do with the Xie family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but just happens to be surnamed Xie. Although Xie Ai has 30,000 soldiers, the morale, equipment and strength of the army are no match for the post-Zhao Dynasty. If he attacks rashly, Liang Qian may be defeated.
Liang Qian is just a small country. If these 30 thousand people fail, it is basically equal to national subjugation. So Xie Yi came up with a city without a city? Empty city plan? .
Xie Ai led his troops to war, rode instead of riding a horse, and told Machu that we were coming. When Xie Yi rushed to the battlefield, he deliberately pretended to be calm, and took out a Hu bed from the car and lay on it. Xie Ai is condescending to put people on Hu's bed, with a confident expression.
Xie Ai sat on the Hu bed and commanded the generals, quite like Zhuge Wuhou's demeanor of calmly playing the piano in the face of Sima Yi10.5 million troops in Romance. Ma Qiu and others are indeed suspected of fraud and dare not rashly attack.
Xie Ai just wants to scare Ma Qiu away? Wrong, he wants to hit each other. In his performance? Empty city plan? At that time, Zhang Huan, a general, was sent to take the path to copy the back road of Machu.
The rear of Machu was attacked and lost its footing. After Zhao faced Zhang Huan, he was losing ground. At this time, Xie Yi's army attacked, and both sides attacked, and Ma Qiu was defeated and fled. "Learning from the same experience" says? (Xie Ai) Won the first prize of 13,000 yuan, and went to summer alone in autumn? .
The empty plan in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just a helpless defensive strategy. Did Xie Ai use it first? Empty city plan? Paralyze Machu, and then raid its rear with raiders. When there is something wrong with Maqiu's formation, the main force will attack Maqiu head-on.
When Maqiu's formation is out of order, defeat is doomed.
