Empty city meter
[Empty City Meter], the person who really used the Empty City Meter during the Three Kingdoms period was actually someone else, but none of them had anything to do with Zhuge Liang
In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (190), when Sun Jian was fighting Dong Zhuo, he led his troops to Luyang (鲁阳, in modern Lushan, Henan), and Yuan Shu made him a general of the Broken Guard, leading the history of Yuzhou, and Sun Jian took his troops to garrison Luyang.
Later, Sun Jian sent his own Changshi Gongqiu to go back to collect grain and grass, and took officials outside the city to feed him. It just so happened that Dong Zhuo sent troops to fight Sun Jian, and there were dozens of cavalry forwards in front, and Sun Jian did not immediately order everyone to withdraw to the city after seeing it, but did not rush to pack up his things, and also asked the troops not to show a panicked look. When the large troops behind Dong Zhuo had all come up, Sun Jian slowly wandered back to the city with his people.
Because Sun Jian behaved too steadily, and the troops all took back the city in an orderly manner, Dong Zhuo's troops did not dare to attack easily, fearing that there would be an ambush. Later, Dong Zhuo's troops did not attack the city and eventually retreated. As a general, Sun Jian knew how to use soldiers in a vacuum, not chaotic in the face of danger, and a soldier who yielded without a fight, which was the first empty space in the Three Kingdoms period!

Cao Cao also used the empty city strategy to defeat his opponent Lü Bu at the time
In the second year of Xingping (195), Lü Bu and Chen Gong came with an army of more than 10,000 people to fight Cao Cao. Most of Cao Cao's soldiers had gone to collect wheat at that time, and there were less than a thousand people in his barracks. So he ordered the women and children to go up to guard the low walls of the camp, and placed the remaining thousand people in front of the camp, and showed a fearless appearance.
Cao Cao's camp was in a better position, there was a large embankment in the west, a dense forest in the south, coupled with the performance of these troops, Lü Bu did not dare to attack, he said to Chen Gong: "Cao Cao is a man with many tricks, I am worried that he has ambush troops, let's retreat." ”
The next day, it is estimated that Lü Bu came back and began to attack Cao Cao with his soldiers, and Cao Cao's soldiers who went out to collect wheat must have returned. So Cao Cao only sent half of his soldiers to deploy in front of the embankment, and the other half hid behind the embankment. When Lü Bu attacked, the ambush soldiers came out from behind the embankment, and finally defeated Lü Bu, and did not return until Lü Bu's camp.
Cao Cao also had a high military command ability, so when fighting lü Bu, he dared to use the "empty city strategy" to create psychological warfare, and finally defeated his opponent
