Ma Mo missed the street pavilion, so that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition plan had loopholes, for this reason, the commander of the Wei state Sima Yi after capturing the street pavilion, he could not wait to lead the army straight to the west city where Zhuge Liang was located, at the beginning, Cao Wei's army had more than 100,000 people, and Zhuge Liang's Han room was basically without soldiers available, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, under such a premise, Sima Yi seemed to have a chance of victory, and Zhuge Bing's defeat had become doomed, as a more demonized strategist, Zhuge Liang naturally would not sit still.
The enemy army pressed the city, Zhuge Liang ordered the people to open the city gate, let a few non-commissioned officers sweep the floor in front of the city gate, let the sergeants try to let ordinary people be ordinary, and Zhuge Liang climbed the city tower, with the two most trusted boys standing next to him, he was leisurely playing piano music in front of the enemy army, Sima Yi with hundreds of thousands of troops saw this scene, he led the army to retreat in a fiery manner, and this is also the more famous empty city plan in the interpretation, if sima Yi is just a straw bag general, it is also reasonable to be scared back by Zhuge Liang, however, In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi can be said to be a strategist with the same name as Zhuge Liang, and he is also first-class in leading troops to fight, and in the early years, Zhongda's name was famous in the Three Kingdoms, so, under such a premise, why did Sima Yi retreat?
In fact, Sima Yi retired from the army, one is related to tactics, ancient warfare pays attention to soldiers are not tired of cheating, and Zhuge Liang is good at using this kind of drama of the old cloth suspicious array, in addition to Zhuge Liang's acting, Sima Yi is naturally also confused, from the perspective of the empty city, Zhuge Liang's biggest doubt this time is not the person sweeping the floor downstairs, nor his own piano, but two boys next to him, many people know that in the expression management, adults can restrain their emotions very well, and children are very calm, but, Judging from the situation, the two children were also unusually calm at the beginning, and Sima Yi saw this scene and decided to retire.
Of course, the calmness of the child and Zhuge Liang's playing, let Sima Yi retire is not absolute, this has a lot to do with Sima Yi's strategy of preservation, from the perspective of the times, the military power of the Wei state was almost concentrated in the hands of Sima Yi, and the power of the dprk and the middle was in the hands of Cao Wei, it is said that the kings of the past, the most evasive is the person who is highly shocked, if there is no external worry and internal troubles, such people often die the fastest, and Sima Yi must also understand this, understand that with the presence of Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty, he is in absolute safety.
For this reason, the feeling of rabbit death and dog sorrow made Sima Yi quickly retreat, only in this way could Sima Yi survive from the chaos, and this is why Sima Yi lay ill at home after Zhuge Yi's death, and even handed over all his rights.
