What are Zhuge Liang’s more famous deeds in his life?

1. Empty City Strategy

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang lost the strategic location of Jieting due to the misuse of Ma Di. Wei general Sima Yi took advantage of the situation and led an army of 150,000 to swarm towards the west city where Zhuge Liang was located. Come. At that time, Zhuge Liang had no generals around him, only a group of civilian officials leading an army of 5,000.

Half of them have gone to transport grain and grass, leaving only 2,500 soldiers in the city. Everyone was shocked when they heard the news that Sima Yi was coming with his troops. After Zhuge Liang climbed to the tower to watch, he said to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone. I can teach Sima Yi to retreat with a little strategy." So Zhuge Liang sent an order to hide all the flags and keep the soldiers where they are. Don't move. If anyone goes out privately or makes a loud noise, he will be beheaded immediately. Soldiers were also asked to open the four city gates, and 20 soldiers were sent to pretend to be ordinary people at each gate and sprinkle water to sweep the streets.

Zhuge Liang put on the crane cloak himself, put on the tall silk scarf, led two little book boys, and brought a harp, went to the city to sit down on the railing in front of the enemy tower, lit incense, and Then he started playing the piano slowly.

Sima Yi's vanguard troops arrived at the city. Seeing this momentum, they did not dare to enter the city easily, so they hurried back to report to Sima Yi. After hearing this, Sima Yi smiled and said, "How is this possible?" Then he ordered the three armies to stop and flew forward to watch.

Not far from the city, he saw Zhuge Liang sitting on the tower with a big smile, burning incense and playing the piano. There is a book boy on the left, holding a sword in his hand; there is also a book boy on the right, holding a whisk in his hand. Inside and outside the city gate, more than 20 people who looked like ordinary people were sweeping with their heads down, as if there was no one around.

After Sima Yi looked at it, he was confused, so he came to the middle army. The front army acted as the front army, and the front army acted as the rear army to retreat. His second son, Sima Zhao, asked: "Is it because Zhuge Liang has no soldiers at home, so he deliberately acted like this? Father, why do you want to retreat?"

Sima Yi said: "Zhuge Liang was cautious in his life and never took risks. Now. The city gate is wide open, and there must be an ambush inside. If our army goes in, it will fall into their trap. It's better to retreat quickly!" So all the soldiers and horses retreated.

2. Three Qi Zhou Yu

At that time, Cao Cao was celebrating the completion of the Tongque Tower in Ye County. There was a banquet for civil and military officials on the Bronze Bird Platform, and a Xichuan brocade robe was hung on a tree with an arrow target underneath. Anyone who hit the target would get the robe. The military generals all competed to be the first to show off their talents. Martial arts.

After the generals finished shooting, Cao Cao asked the civil servants to recite poems and write poems to record the completion of the Tongque Tower. Cao Cao was in high spirits and also wrote poems and sang. Suddenly it was reported that the Soochow envoy Hua Xin had arrived. After reading the seal, Cao Cao made a plan with his advisers to annex Sun and Liu Xiang.

Then Zhou Yu was appointed as the prefect of Nanjun, Cheng Pu was appointed as the prefect of Jiangxia, and Hua Xin was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. After Zhou Yu took office as the governor of Nanjun, he wanted to take revenge and wrote to Sun Quan. Wanting Lu Su to return Jingzhou, Lu Su had no choice but to go to Jingzhou.

When Lu Su came to Jingzhou, Liu Bei cried loudly according to Kong Ming's plan. Kong Ming said from the side that after returning Jingzhou, he would have nowhere to stay. This touched Liu Bei's heart and caused him to burst into tears. Kong Ming then asked Lu Su to tell Sun Quan to postpone the return of Jingzhou.

3. Battle of wits at Chibi

After Liu Bei led his army to Xiakou (now Hankou, Hubei), Zhuge Liang said: "The situation is urgent now. I request to go to Jiangdong in person to seek help from Sun Quan." At that time. Sun Quan led his army and stationed in Chaisang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to wait and see the development of the situation.

After arriving at Chaisang, Zhuge Liang met Sun Quan. Zhuge Liang analyzed the situation for Sun Quan: "There was great chaos at home, and the general raised troops to occupy Jiangdong. Liu Yuzhou also gathered his troops south of the Han River, intending to compete with Cao Cao for the world.

Now that Cao Cao has pacified other forces, basically Occupying the north, now going south to conquer Jingzhou, the hero has no use, so Liu Yuzhou fled here.

Then Zhuge Liang first gave Sun Quan two choices, "If you can use Wu. , Yue's military strength can compete with the Central Plains countries, it is better to break off diplomatic relations with Cao Cao as soon as possible." Another option is to provoke the generals, "If you think you can't resist, why not stop military operations.

Promise yourself to the north! "Sun Quan asked Zhuge Liang why Liu Bei didn't surrender. Zhuge Liang raised Liu Bei's status and said that Liu Bei had integrity and would never surrender to show Sun Quan Liu Bei's determination. Sun Quan was furious and vowed not to surrender to Cao Cao.

But he was worried about how many troops Liu Bei still had to fight.

Zhuge Liang finally analyzed the situation of the two armies. He first said that the stragglers from the army had returned and Guan Yu's naval force numbered ten thousand people. In addition, Liu Qifan's Jiangxia soldiers also numbered no less than ten thousand people. Then he said that Cao's army was exhausted from afar.

When chasing Liu Bei, he used light cavalry to travel more than 300 miles in a day and a night. It was "at the end of the strong crossbow, and the force could not penetrate Lu Zhen"; and the northerners were not used to water warfare, and the people of Jingzhou were forced to To obey Cao Cao is not to be convinced; in the end, it is certain that Cao Cao can be defeated.

Sun Quan was very happy. Later, he was lobbied by Lu Su and Zhou Yu and decided to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao Cao. He sent Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Lu Su and others to lead 30,000 naval troops to go to war with Cao Cao.

Zhuge Liang returned to Liu Bei with his army; in November, Cao Cao's army encountered a fire attack by Sun and Liu's coalition forces in Chibi. Cao Cao's army suffered very heavy losses. At this time, a plague broke out in Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao had no choice but to Lead the army back north.

4. Six Out of Qishan

In the tenth year of Jianxing (232), Zhuge Liang suspended his troops in Huangsha to persuade farmers, made wooden cows and flowing horses, etc., and trained troops and martial arts in preparation for another northern expedition. In the winter of the 11th year of Jianxing (233 years), Zhuge Liang sent his troops to transport rice to the Qishan Mountains north again, and gathered the army at the entrance of the Xiegu to manage the Xiegu Dige.

In February of the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), after three years of preparations to persuade farmers and teach martial arts, Zhuge Liang led his army out of Xiegu Road, based on Wuzhangyuan of Wugong (now south of Qishan, Shaanxi Province), and settled in Wei Bin, and at the same time sent envoys to Soochow, hoping that Sun Quan could attack Wei at the same time.

In April, the Shu army arrived in Yi County and camped under Wuzhangyuan on the south bank of the Wei River. Sima Yi led the Wei army to build a camp against the water, hoping to use a protracted battle to consume the Shu army's food and make the Shu army retreat on its own.

Wei general Guo Huai believed that the Shu army would definitely compete for Beiyuan. Sima Yi agreed and sent Guo Huai to take precautions first. Sure enough, the Shu army arrived, but was repulsed by Guo Huai. Zhuge Liang considered that the previous Northern Expeditions had failed due to the failure to transport grain.

So the residents of Wei and Bin began to farm fields to produce food, and the people lived in peace and everything was as usual. Sun Quan also responded to the Shu Han and personally led an army of 100,000 to the north to attack Wei, but was defeated by Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui himself.

Zhuge Liang sent Meng Yan, a tiger-footed supervisor, to the north of the Wugong River. When the water rose, the connection between Zhuge Liang and Meng Yan was cut off. Sima Yi took the opportunity to send troops to attack Meng Yan. As a result, Zhuge Liang sent engineers to build the bridge on the one hand, and crossbowmen on the other hand to shoot arrows at Sima Yi's troops.

Sima Yi saw that the bridge was almost ready, so he had to retreat. The armies of Wei and Shu were at each other for more than a hundred days. During this period, Zhuge Liang sent people to challenge him many times, but Sima Yi's army was still unable to defend. Later, Zhuge Liang deliberately asked someone to bring a set of women's clothes and headscarf to Sima Yi.

It means that Sima Yi is like a woman. The generals of the Wei army were furious when they saw this situation and asked for a fight one after another. In order to fend off the generals' requests, Sima Yi pretended to ask Emperor Wei Ming for a fight. Cao Rui sent Wei Wei Xinpi as a military advisor to the front line to control Sima Yi.

Sima Yi once asked the Shu Han envoy how much Zhuge Liang sleeps, eats and does, without asking about the military situation. The envoy replied: "Zhuge Gong gets up early and goes to bed late. All punishments of more than twenty sticks are personally reviewed; The food he ate was less than a few liters."

Sima Yi told people: "Zhuge Kongming has little food and trouble with his affairs. How long can he live?" Zhuge Liang then divided his troops to farm and fight with Wei in the Wei Kingdom. The people of the country wanted to be self-sufficient with the same food and planned to stay there for a long time. However, Zhuge Liang became seriously ill due to overwork.

5. Borrowing arrows from straw boats

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to conquer Soochow. Sun Quan and Liu Bei planned to join forces to resist Wei. There was a general under Sun Quan named Zhou Yu who was both wise and brave, but a bit narrow-minded and jealous of Zhuge Liang's talents.

Due to the need for arrows in the battle in the water, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows within ten days. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang only needed three days, but he was still willing to issue a military order and be punished if he failed to complete the task. Zhou Yu thought that it was impossible to make 100,000 arrows in three days.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Zhuge Liang. So on the one hand, he asked the military craftsmen not to prepare all the materials for making arrows, and on the other hand, he asked minister Lu Su to find out Zhuge Liang's truth.

Lu Su met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said: "I want you to help me with this matter. I hope you can lend me 20 boats, with 30 soldiers on each boat. The boats must be covered with green cloth curtains and more than a thousand straw targets. Line up on both sides of the boat.

However, you must not let your governor know about this, otherwise it will not work." Lu Su reported to Zhou Yu, only saying that he did not need to prepare the materials, and never mentioned Zhuge Liang's. plan. Two days passed without any movement.

Zhou Yu thought: He must not be able to build it well. On the third day at the fourth watch, Zhuge Liang secretly asked Lu Su to go to the boat with him, saying that they were going to get arrows together. Zhuge Liang ordered the boats to be connected with ropes and sailed to the other side. ?

There was heavy fog on the river that day, and no one could be seen on the other side. When the boat approached Cao Jun's water stronghold, Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to move away and asked the soldiers to beat drums and shout. Cao Cao thought that the enemy was coming to attack, but he was afraid of an ambush due to the heavy fog.

Six thousand archers were sent from Hanzhai to shoot arrows into the river. Arrows like raindrops hit the grass targets one after another. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to turn around again and let the other side receive the arrow. The sun came out and the fog was about to lift. Zhuge Liang ordered the boat to go back quickly.

At this time, the wind was going smoothly, and it was too late for Cao Cao to pursue him. At this time, the grass targets on both sides of the boat were densely packed with arrows. There were at least five or six thousand arrows on each boat, and there were 20 boats in total.

The total number far exceeds 100,000. When Lu Su told Zhou Yu how he borrowed arrows, Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Zhuge Liang has a wonderful plan, but I am not as good as him."
