We all know that there are thirty-six counts in history, and there are books, which have been translated into many Chinese that have influenced the world. It can be said that this book is the essence of "tactics", covering the tactical strategies and tactics of soldiers and families, and was often used in major battles in ancient times. And have you ever heard of the Thirty-Seven Counts? How did the thirty-seventh plan come about? What kind of story it has, today we will take a closer look
Thirty-six counts
The Three Kingdoms period can be described as frequent wars, the ancients also from the war to continuously learn and accumulate experience, and there are also some people who innovate, "self-created" tactics, today mentioned the protagonist of the Thirty-Seven Plans Zhou Yu is such a person. In order to kill Zhuge Liang, who was smarter than himself, he came up with the thirty-seventh plan, wanting to outsmart him. So what's the trick?
Zhou Yu was one of the most famous figures in the Three Kingdoms period, and his person was also very intelligent, but this person had the biggest weakness, that is, the fire was too big, so that there was an allusion to Zhuge Liang's three qi Zhou Yu, which showed how big this person's temperament was. Breathing to the point of vomiting blood and unconsciousness.

This incident caused the momentum of Eastern Wu to decline, and Zhou Yu suddenly thought of two sentences of Sun Tzu's Art of War when he saw this situation: Soldiers are not tired of deception and will plan. Therefore, he had a "trick to death" to paralyze Zhuge Liang and boost the morale of the army.
So he quickly called Lu Su into the tent and said his plan, and then he bit his tongue hard and said, "He Shengyu, He Shengliang!" Zi Jing, avenge me. After saying that, he fell on the bed and went to that world. Lu Su acted according to the plan, summoned the group of officials to retreat to Eastern Wu, and carried out funerals.

Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou suddenly heard Zhou Yu dying of anger and felt that something was wrong, Zhou Yu was a handsome man, he knew that it was common for soldiers to win and lose, how could he be angry to death. It is estimated that there is a cat, so I decided to go to hang filial piety myself to find out. Zhuge Liang took twenty guards to Chaisangkou. Lu Su couldn't help but be secretly happy to see Zhuge Liang personally come to hang filial piety, and according to Zhou Yu's arrangement, he sent more than fifty elite soldiers to ambush both sides of the Spirit Hall.
Zhuge Liang walked into the Spirit Hall to look around, and found that the officers and soldiers here were all murderous, and Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao did not guard the spirit, there was no sad atmosphere at all, he knew that his guess was right, Zhou Yu must have been killed by deception, but at this time he was in a dilemma, and could only adapt to the situation and find a way out of danger.

Zhuge Liang burned incense, lit candles, burned paper draperies, knelt in front of the spiritual platform and cried loudly, while crying, he secretly looked into the spiritual hall and found two people hiding inside. If the two of them suddenly sneaked out and grabbed themselves, it would be less fierce, so it would be better to help the coffin cry, spy on what Zhou Yu was doing inside, and then react on the spur.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang prostrated his head three times, and read the sacrifice text aloud while crying. I have to say that the sacrifice text is very touching, the soldiers on both sides are sad and tearful, and Zhuge Liang naturally cries like a play. Later, he threw himself directly on the coffin and cried even more sadly.

He was crying fake, taking the opportunity to observe whether it was true, and suddenly he found that there was an air hole on the lid of the coffin, which was for Zhou Yu to breathe. Zhuge Liang took advantage of everyone's sadness to secretly fold a half-cut candle with his hand and stuff it into the air hole. Slowly there was no oxygen inside, and Zhou Yu had no strength to move, only to feel that his chest was stuffy and breathless.
At this time, Lu Su was blinded, and did not understand why the Governor had not yet come out to give the order, so he went to the coffin and deliberately asked: Brother Gongjin, Mr. Wolong came to mourn filial piety, did you hear me?
Of course, Lu Su's words were deliberately asked, the purpose was to remind Zhou Yu that it was time to move, but although Zhou Yu heard it, he could not move, and eventually he was smothered inside. After Zhuge Liang felt that Zhou Yu was almost dead, he closed his tears and said goodbye. No one dared to do anything without Zhou Yu's orders, so they could only let Zhuge Liang go back first.
After Zhuge Liang left, Lu Su quickly opened the lid of the coffin to find that Zhou Yu was really dead, and found half a candle in the stomata.
Conclusion: Zhou Yu's "self-created" thirty-seventh plan did not hurt others but hurt himself, but then again, if Zhou Yu was dealing with others, maybe this plan would succeed, but the clever Zhuge Liang was better. Because this so-called thirty-seventh plan did not succeed, no one approved of it.
