In other words, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is actually equivalent to a legend of the art of war. To this end, in the mutual struggle between the three kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming used many magical martial arts, including the "multiplication of illusions". So, what's going on here? What exactly is a "multiplication technique"? Let's go and investigate together.
First of all, let's focus on the scene where when Zhou Yu defeated Cao Ren, he triumphantly led his army straight to Nan County. Unexpectedly, when he had just led the army to the south county city, he found that above the head of the city, it was already a "flag display", and Liu Bei's general Zhao Zilong was standing majestically at the head of the south county city. Obviously, Zhou Yu worked hard, but in the end the results of the battle all went to Liu Bei, and it was really annoying to think about.
I think that at the beginning, when Zhou Yu raised an army to attack Nan County, he was very angry when he heard that Liu Bei also wanted to capture this city. Therefore, Zhou Yu once personally led people to find Liu Bei's theory. Liu Bei, on the other hand, in accordance with Zhuge Kongming's instructions, promised to "let Zhou Yu take it first, but when Zhou Yu can't take it, Liu Bei will take it again." Obviously, zhou Yu was naturally very happy when he heard this, and he immediately led his men and horses to attack Nan County with confidence. But in fact? This big brother Zhou Yu is really a real person! Since the ancient soldiers were not tired of deception, how could Liu Bei's words be believed? What's more, what he said was basically taught by his military master Zhuge Kongming.
Then, why did Zhuge Kongming agree to let Zhou Yu lead his men and horses to attack Nan County? It turned out that he had already "made a wishful mind". Because Zhuge Kong had already calculated that when Cao Cao withdrew to Xu Capital, he would have arrangements for Nan County, and Zhou Yu, who was eager to win, would inevitably win the plan, and then, when the two of them were fighting each other and The southern county's troops were empty, he just happened to send troops. Therefore, when Zhou Yu and Cao Ren launched a fierce battle in Nan County, Liu Bei's side was actually like a "fish man", waiting for profit!
Therefore, in a sense, military command is actually an art of military prediction, and without correct prediction, there is no correct decision, just as Zhuge Kongming was able to "take advantage of the void" this time, mainly because he had a comprehensive and accurate prediction of this battle. Even, the so-called Zhuge Kongming's "multiplication of illusions" is actually a kind of "prediction technique". Because of this, every time Zhuge Kongming "multiplied the void", there was an accurate "prediction".
Of course, Zhuge Kongming, who mastered the "illusion technique" and the "prediction technique", had two fatal weaknesses, namely: conceit, but sometimes indecisive. For example, although he was able to leave his name for eternity with "empty city plan" and "death Zhuge scare away the living Sima ", he showed his extraordinary talent. However, because he was often "indecisive", he could not kill Sima Yi. Even later, he was a little afraid of Sima Yi, and when he heard that "Cao Pi is dead, and his widow Cao Rui is on the throne", he can't help but sigh that if Sima Yi holds great power, then Shu Han is in danger.
In short, what is the so-called Zhuge Kongming's "multiplication technique"? In essence, it is actually a kind of East-West based on military forecasting. (Lv Haifeng)
