The history of the Three Kingdoms has attracted countless people, and the wisdom and power contained in it can be said to be extremely wonderful. In those chaotic years, the most eye-catching people, in addition to a few heroes with the style of kings, were their own strategists, after all, the devious and changing tactics of war were all from the hands of these minds. Among them, the most dazzling competition is Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, two top wise men, who have superior wisdom and often surprise others and are caught off guard.
These two are a resourceful veteran in calculating the enemy, but when the two charge against each other, no one can always take the lead. Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were not only equal enemies, but also close friends who were close to each other, who understood each other, knew each other, and deeply admired each other. Probably because in wartime they were able to not only plan to attack the city, but also attack each other's hearts, so they always lost both.
Once, because of the danger of war, Zhuge Liang chose to let his troops escort the people to flee to Yizhou, leaving the city alone to deal with the aftermath. By the time Sima Yi's 100,000-strong army arrived, zhuge liang was alone in the entire city. This time the pursuit of the King of Wei was inevitable, and before the trip, he ordered Sima Yi to arrest Zhuge Liang, and when the army approached the city, there were only about ten soldiers guarding Zhuge Liang.
At this time, Zhuge Liang made a sudden decision, he sat alone on the top of the city tower, without the slightest bit of panic, but instead leisurely brewed a pot of tea and played the piano. He ordered the soldiers to open the city gates and play the piano on the castle tower alone, and the melodious and gentle sound of the piano reached Sima Yi's ear. Faced with such a position, Sima Yi couldn't help but think to himself, but everyone in the army thought that this was a plan, and the city must be empty. Even his son Sima Zhao advised his father that since the 100,000-strong army had already seen Zhuge Zhuge and would have the reason to return without a fight, they would not necessarily lose if they fought.
Zhuge Liang made a plan to empty the city, Sima Yi knew that the empty city was still retreating, and everyone in the army thought that Zhuge Liang's divine stroke had frightened him, only Sima Zhao secretly asked his father why. Sima Yi seemed to have lost but actually won, because Sima Yi was in a high position at that time and was suspected by the lord, and it was precisely because of the existence of Zhuge Liang, a fierce enemy, that he was able to save his life, and once the enemy surrendered, his own family would also suffer a catastrophe. At this time, Sima Zhao understood his father's thoughts, and secretly admired Zhuge Liang's plan, he must have seen through this point long ago to be so relaxed. Therefore, this contest is also a tacit understanding between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.
