In Nanjing, Zhuge Liang angered Sima Yi with a move. Sima yi wanted to go out of the city to fight to the death, but was stopped by an old man.

Zhuge Liang is resourceful and has hardly met his opponent in his life. But since Sima Yi was reused, Zhuge Liang felt deeply uneasy. It is Sima Yi's ability that is stronger than Zhuge Liang's. However, in the process of confronting Zhuge Liang, he always avoided the war and took his unsustainable strategy to the extreme, so that Zhuge Liang's plan of making a quick victory was wasted.

In the spring of 234 AD, Zhuge Liang summed up the experience and lessons of the first four failed Northern Expeditions. After three years of full preparation, he led the army to the Northern Expedition again. This time, a * * * 65438+ ten thousand soldiers and horses sent messengers to Wudong to persuade Sun Quan to send troops together. Soon, the army of Shu and Han came to Wuzhangyuan on the south bank of Wei River and camped here.

At the same time, Sima Yi was appointed as a general by Wei Mingdi and was ordered to resist the attack of the Shu army. Sima Yi knew that he was no match for Zhuge Liang. If confronted head-on, he may suffer a big loss. Even if he didn't die, he will certainly not be reused in the future. So, he camped not far away, with the simple purpose of consuming the grain and grass of the Shu army through a protracted war and winning without fighting.

For Sima Yi's ideas, Zhuge Liang is like a mirror, which is his biggest concern. The Shu army has been fighting for a long time, and the food and grass can last for a few months at most, while the Wei army has enough food and grass for a year and a half. Wu Dong's army here is very weak. Before joining Zhuge Liang, it was defeated by Cao Rui and Wei Mingdi, a legendary pig teammate.

The two armies confronted each other for several months. In order to anger Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang used various methods and often sent people to fight. Some generals in the Wei army couldn't stand it, but Sima Yi turned a blind eye. He drank and sang in the barracks all day and had a good time. Zhuge Liang on the other side is getting thinner and worse, but he is helpless.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and thought of a way to send a set of women's clothes to the camp in Wei Jun, saying it was for their boss Sima Yi. Normal people can see that Zhuge Liang is mocking Sima Yi as a woman without any masculinity. Sima yi was completely angered when he saw this dress, and decided to go out of the city and fight Zhuge Liang to the death, preferring to die rather than endure this insult.

Before that, he wrote a well-documented memorial, ordering people to go to Beijing 800 miles away. Afraid of Sima Yi's disobedience, Wei Mingdi sent an old man as an emissary and rushed to Wei Jun camp with a knot, giving him the power to contain Sima Yi. This old man is Xin Pi. Sima Yi said to Xin Pi many times: "I must fight, or I will be looked down upon by Zhuge Liang." But was stopped by a word from Xin Pi. Soon, Zhuge Liang died of illness and the Shu army was forced to retreat. Since then, no one is Sima Yi's opponent. I guess he will wake up laughing in his dream.
