Kong Ming set an empty plan.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han Dynasties, was praised as an "eternal wizard" for his superb strategy and military talent. One of his most famous tactics is the "empty city plan".

operation sequence/order

1. Know the enemy's situation

Before making an empty plan, Kong Ming must first understand the enemy's situation. He sent scouts and mastered the enemy's strength, action route and siege plan.

make preparations

On the basis of understanding the enemy's situation, Kong Ming began to prepare. He ordered soldiers to hang flags on the city walls to make the city brightly lit, and also ordered soldiers to play music on the towers to welcome the enemy.

3. Withdraw some troops

In order to make the empty city plan more realistic, Kong Ming ordered the evacuation of some troops, leaving only a small number of soldiers in the city to show their inability to resist.

Leave the bait

Kong Ming also left some bait to make the enemy mistakenly think that he was an important general of Shu Han. In this way, the enemy will be more convinced that there are only a few soldiers in the city.

Make good use of strategy

Kong Ming also makes good use of strategy in the empty city plan. He put a piano at the gate of the city, which read: "The city is set, it is better to dream." . In this way, the enemy will be more confident that the city has been breached and dare not attack rashly.

Tackle the enemy's siege skillfully

Kong Ming set an empty plan to deal with the enemy's siege. He skillfully used the enemy's psychology to make them mistakenly think that there were only a few soldiers in the city, thus relaxing their vigilance. Finally, after waiting outside the city for a while, the enemy was defeated by Kong Ming's strategy and finally retreated.

final result

Kongming's empty city plan is a classic tactic of China's ancient army. This tactic is not only a fighting strategy, but also a manifestation of wisdom. It tells us that in the face of strong enemies, we don't have to confront them by force, but we can win through clever strategies.
