In the treacherous history of the Three Kingdoms, the contest between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang was hailed as the pinnacle duel of wise men.
The empty city strategy, as one of the classic battles of this contest, not only showed Zhuge Liang's extraordinary wisdom, but also revealed Sima Yi's hidden scheming.
In fact, Sima Yi may have already seen through Zhuge Liang's empty city plan.
So, why did Sima Yi, who knew that he was a plan, still be "willingly" deceived? What kind of wisdom and conspiracy is hidden behind this?
Let's uncover the truth of this game of wisdom and power intrigues.
1. Background revealed: an empty city full of dangers
After the loss of Jieting, Sima Yi led an army of 150,000 as if entering a no-man's land, capturing three cities one after another, and the Shu Han Dynasty was in danger.
In the face of the powerful Wei army, Zhuge Liang was in a hurry, and the empty city plan came into being.
He took advantage of Sima Yi's suspicions and skillfully turned an empty city into a trap, which deterred the Wei army.
2. Insight and strategy: Sima Yi's battle of wit
However, behind this seemingly simple contest, there is a deep wisdom hidden by Sima Yi.
Even his son Sima Zhao saw through the empty city plan, but Sima Yi chose to plan it.
Why is that?
In Sima Yi's eyes, this contest has long gone beyond the tactical level and risen to a strategic level.
He knew very well that as long as Zhuge Liang was alive, the Cao Wei regime would be jealous, and as an important adviser of Cao Wei, he would have the value of existence.
And once Zhuge Liang dies, the Sima family may lose their status in Cao Wei and face an existential crisis.
3. Scheming and wisdom: Sima Yi's foresight
What is even more admirable is that Sima Yi not only saw through the truth of the empty city plan, but also saw through the contradictions and distrust within the Cao Wei regime.
He understood that only by maintaining a certain record of success and influence in the confrontation with Zhuge Liang could he ensure the safety of his family in the Cao Wei regime.
Therefore, he chose to be "deceived" at the right time in exchange for Cao Wei's trust and support.
This strategy of retreating into advance and defending as an offensive not only shows Sima Yi's superb strategy and wisdom, but also demonstrates his vision and strategy as a wise man.
IV. Follow-up Actions and Achievements: Sima Yi's Legendary Life
After the empty city plan, Sima Yi was not discouraged by being "deceived", but took this opportunity to further strengthen his military construction and strategic layout.
When he presided over the war against Wu, he strategized and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and greatly improved Cao Wei's military strength through measures such as establishing military cantonments and building water conservancy.
At the same time, he also paid attention to the selection of talents, and promoted a number of outstanding generals such as Deng Ai and Wang Ji from the poor family, laying a solid foundation for Cao Wei's future development.
These achievements not only demonstrated Sima Yi's outstanding talent and profound wisdom, but also left him a strong mark in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Conclusion: The contest of the wise and the game of scheming
In this seemingly simple empty city plan, we see Sima Yi's deep scheming and wisdom.
By choosing to be "deceived", he not only preserved the position of the Shu army and himself, but also showed the vision and strategy of a wise man.
In the subsequent military construction and talent selection, he also made great contributions to the future development of Cao Wei.
Sima Yi's legendary life makes us deeply realize that a true wise man must not only have extraordinary wisdom and talent, but also have far-reaching vision and strategy.
Only in this way can we remain invincible in the torrent of history.
