The short videos I watched from all dynasties

Ma Su thought that Jieting was remote and the Wei army would not dare to come. He also refused Wang Ping's suggestion to set up camp on the road and insisted on stationing troops on the mountain.

"When the Wei army arrives, we will attack the enemy from a high position!"

"The terrain here is excellent. We can attack with ease and defend with a firmness like a rock."

Sima Yi found that the Shu army was all on the mountain and was overjoyed. "Ma Su is just a mediocre person with a false reputation!"

Then he sent Zhang He to stop Wang Ping, and he sent troops to guard the waterways and surround the mountains and set fire to them.

When Zhuge Liang received the Jieting map and military deployment drawn by Wang Ping, he was furious. He was unable to breathe and kept coughing.

"Ma Su is ignorant and has harmed our army."

Yang Yi was immediately dispatched to lead troops to join Wang Ping in rescuing Ma Su.

Wang Ping at the foot of the mountain was no match for Zhang He and had to retreat. Ma Su was unwilling to accept defeat and ordered his men to rush down the mountain.

"We have to charge even if we can't! Jieting can't be lost, we can't lose it!" Ma Su raised his sword and led the remaining troops to rush down the mountain in the fire.

Yang Yi received a report that Jieting had been lost, and Zhuge Liang knew that the situation was hopeless, so he ordered his soldiers to prepare to return to Hanzhong. While Zhuge Liang was transporting food and grass, Sima Yi led his army to the city.

＜What was Dongwu doing at that time??? What was Dongwu doing at that time???＞

＜In 227 AD, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu launched a northern expedition, but he seemed to have lost? I remember that Lu Xun fought the Battle of Shiting afterwards, which was also his highlight moment, but it was not shown in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.＞

＜Ma Su wanted to use Jieting as a springboard for his life, thinking he could stand on his own, but he didn't expect that he would end up being executed in tears.＞

＜Ma Su is stubborn and self-willed. If Wang Ping had more than 5,000 men, would he be able to hold out?＞

＜This is the first time I’ve seen the Prime Minister so angry and flustered. He wasn’t like this before when we were at the 700-li camp. My blood pressure is about to rise.＞

＜On the high ground, if you want to charge, you need a brave general like Zhao Yun or Zhang Fei. I can only say that Ma Su had a great ideal, but the reality was disappointing.＞

＜I admire Ma Su. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not admire Zhuge Liang at the beginning, they all knew to follow orders. But you, Ma Su, dared to act on your own!!!＞

＜Ma Su is not even as good as Zhao Kuo. When Zhao Kuo was surrounded, his morale did not drop, and he was able to personally lead his troops to break through the siege, but Ma Su simply did not have that strength! ＞

＜Ma Su was even more outrageous in history! He simply escaped and was caught by the Shu army. This was the fundamental reason why the prime minister wanted to execute him.＞

＜Using the wrong person, one wrong move, and the whole game is lost! This Northern Expedition is over, and the only gain is Jiang Wei.＞

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: The direct reason is that Ma Su is not capable.]

[Han Xin, the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of Han: Want to play the game of risking one's life and then surviving? Is that how you use it?]

[Li Jing in the fourth year of the Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty: Alas, this Northern Expedition has failed... What a pity.]

[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Scared!]

[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: If we fail at Jieting, we will never have another chance to achieve "pacify the Central Plains in the north".]

……

Zhang Fei is angry!

"Huh?! I thought Ma Su was as brave as he appeared on the screen, but he doesn't even dare to charge into the battle line and kill the enemy?!"

"coward!"

Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open with anger. He originally thought that Ma Su was just lacking in ability, but today he realized that it was not just a problem of ability.

Liu Chan was indignant, "Abandoning the camp and running away should be executed! It would have been better if Bo Yue had been the one to guard it."

Jiang Wei: "We may not win if we camp on the road, but we won't be surrounded and attacked by fire. Plus, we can help each other down the mountain, so we still have a better chance of winning."

...

Ma Liang glared at Ma Su, then took action directly.

"I told you not to listen to the Prime Minister!"

Ma Liang's moves hit the pain point, and Ma Su's eyes were filled with despair. He knew that his career was probably over...

Previously, the Prime Minister had asked him to work with Jiang Wan and the others in the palace, but now...

We won't want another person who abandons his soldiers and runs away.

Ma Su was full of resentment, and he hated the "Ma Su" in history.

Why, why? Why can't you fight bravely to the end like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

……

[Sima Yi led an army of 150,000 and approached Xi County. Zhuge Liang ordered two children to set up the xylophone on the city wall and light the incense burner.

When Sima Yi arrived, there was only a big "Zhuge" flag on the city wall, and no one else.

Sima Zhao: "Father! Look, it's Zhuge Liang."

The city gate opened, and an old man came out with a flock of sheep, followed by another old man leading a few cows. There were even a few old men sweeping the road in front of the city gate.

Just when Sima Yi was terrified and confused, the sound of playing the zither came from the tower. Sima Shi thought Zhuge Liang did it on purpose, so he just rushed into the city.

Sima Yi: "The sound is like the crashing of waves on the shore, the wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, and it seems that there are millions of brave soldiers at the fingertips."

Sima Zhao: "Father, why can't I hear it?"

Sima Yi was certain that Zhuge Liang must have a plan in mind and an ambush in the city.

At this moment, the strings of the zither were broken, and Sima Yi, who was under the city, was suddenly frightened and ordered his men to retreat quickly.

Zhuge Liang also stood up in a cold sweat. The city was empty and he played a piece of guqin... It was too dangerous, so he had to do it.

When Sima Yi returned to Xi County, the city was already deserted. Sima Yi knew that he had fallen into Zhuge Liang's "empty city plan".

After returning to Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang rejected all the generals' requests for mercy, enforced strict military discipline and executed Ma Su with tears. He also submitted a letter of self-demotion, demoted to the position of Right General, and acted as Prime Minister. He encouraged the troops and rewarded military skills in Hanzhong, waiting for the opportunity to prepare for another northern expedition.

＜Zhuge Qinmo's concert for 150,000 people is about to begin.＞

＜This is the closest we have ever been to capturing Zhuge Liang alive [covering face]＞

＜The Empty City Plan is really dangerous. This trick only works on people with high intelligence because they will over-understand.＞

＜If Sima Yi had heard the panic in the music, it would have been the end.＞

＜Sima Yi: No one understands Kong Ming better than me.＞

＜Broken strings are used as horns! Fortunately, Sima Yi has a rich imagination, haha.＞

＜An empty city is famous through the ages, and a piece of guqin music makes Sima retreat.＞

＜Sima Yi would also feel regretful here, he could have captured him alive, alas.＞

＜Is Ma Su betting that the Prime Minister will not kill him?＞

＜Ma Su: My military order is the most effective in the whole drama [crying]

Military Order: I was finally true for once, but not completely. >

＜If Jieting is not lost, we can go straight to Chang'an and take over half of the country. The subsequent situation will be much better.＞

＜He lowered his position and acted as a prime minister. It was actually the same job, but with a lower salary.＞

[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: It is a brilliant plan, but it is also very risky.]

[Zhou Yu in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: In that situation, he was able to concentrate on playing the zither without revealing any flaws. Sima Yi was right. He is truly a god.]

[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Hahaha, you want to capture our Prime Minister alive? Humph, you are dreaming, it is impossible in this life, the next life, and the next life!!!]

[Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang: This plan looks simple. Zhao Zilong had used a similar plan before, but Prime Minister Zhuge was smart because he used the right person.]

……

Many people who watched the light curtain liked Zhuge Wuhou themselves. He was the favorite historical figure of countless people.

Countless writers have written poems for him.

At this moment, they also came back to their senses from the sadness of Ma Su losing Jieting. When the empty city plan was put forward, there were many more poems praising Zhuge Liang in the comments on the screen.

Everyone in Ji Han felt proud.

Look, this is our prime minister, the prime minister of our Han Dynasty.

……

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. He put himself in Sima Yi's shoes. Would he enter the city at that time?

Maybe not, maybe yes.

Purely relying on gambling.

Because it is well known that Zhuge Liang is a steady military commander and would not take risky actions. So the first reaction is to think that there is an ambush in the city and they are trying to catch the turtle in the jar.

"Maybe Sima Yi has other ideas..." Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder if Sima Yi did it on purpose.

"No matter what Sima Yi thinks, Zhuge Kongming has guessed his thoughts in advance and is betting on the answer that Sima Yi dare not enter the city." Guo Jia does not think that the empty city plan is so simple. His inner plan is really brilliant.

Cao Pi felt that Guangmu’s comment was right, and smart people would over-interpret it.
