Chapter 2019
In a sense, the so-called death-taking life is essentially the best choice under desperate situations!
Just like the empty city plan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after all, if Zhuge Kongming really had enough troops, he would definitely not choose to set up an empty city plan. As long as there are enough soldiers in the city, the empty city plan will become a truly perfect plan...
It is certainly a good thing if the enemy is scared away, but even if the enemy enters the city, they can still ambush the enemy. This is the most optimized state in theory, and in fact, this is also the most secure strategy in theory...
No matter what way the enemy chooses to attack, it is always in his own calculations!
After all, the true strategy should be like this...
A good strategy should be an open plot in itself, that is, no matter what kind of response the other party makes, it will be a favorable result for oneself...
The empty city plan is different. Strictly speaking, the empty city plan is a conspiracy!
The biggest difference between conspiracy and open conspiracy is that open conspiracy can be discovered, but even if it is discovered, it is often meaningless and cannot be cracked...
Conspiracy is different. Once the conspiracy is successful, it will often produce huge benefits, but the conspiracy can be seen through. Once the conspiracy is seen through, the conspiracy will not only fail to work, but will often backfire on the master!
For a strategist, using open conspiracy is undoubtedly a better choice than using conspiracy, because every change in open conspiracy itself is almost beneficial to oneself. Even if the other party realizes it, it is difficult to change this!
It's like a divisive plan...
Once this strategy is used, even if the other party realizes that it is a kind of discord, it will actually have a discord effect!
This is a kind of authentic plot!
Just like the so-called master who is highly meritorious, it is of course a good thing for emperors to have sufficiently capable ministers under their command. If the minister is too capable and has too much power, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion. In this case, if others are provoked, the emperor will likely attack this minister. For an emperor, even if the minister is completely loyal to himself, the master who is highly meritorious is actually worthy of his doubts!
In the case of doubt, even if the emperor knows that this is a plan by some people, he will be happy to accept it and will try to eradicate this potential risk!
Many times, people always think that the emperor is stupid and incompetent and will listen to slander. But in fact, many times, the so-called treacherous ministers are just scapegoats one by one. The emperor’s thinking patterns are different from those of ordinary people themselves. For them, consolidating their own power is a natural thing. As long as someone has too much power, they will naturally become the enemy of the emperor. No matter how loyal the person is, it will not change this result!
Many times, this is the relationship between the emperor and the powerful ministers...
The powerful ministers do not want to rebel, but often they just have to do it...
In this case of being suspicious of the emperor, if you foolishly maintain your loyalty, you will be dead in the end!
It can be said that this is the most typical manifestation of open conspiracy in the court!
There is no reason and no evidence, and it is completely beneficial to the invincible plot!
On the contrary, in the court, officials who use various conspiracies may not go far. The conspiracy is generally destroyed, and most of them are the consequences of death. Generally, real officials disdain for conspiracy...
By the same token, for Zhuge Liang, if he lost Jieting, he would not be willing to make an empty city plan if he had enough troops. His personality tends to be cautious. The choice of strategy is usually one after another, and he rarely chooses to take risks...
In fact, this is also the reason why Sima Yi finally chose to retreat!
Because he thought Zhuge Liang was also an open conspiracy this time!
He did not doubt that his choice to retreat was in Zhuge Liang's calculation, but he also doubted that if he marched, he would still be in Zhuge Liang's calculation!
So he came to the conclusion that retreating is at least a safe choice, but advancing may fall into a trap...
As for Zhuge Liang's conspiracy, he would leave such a huge flaw, he never thought that because in his perception, Zhuge Liang would not put himself in such danger!
And this is exactly where Zhuge Liang is so brilliant!
For Zhuge Liang, an empty city is the only choice. Although this choice itself is dangerous, not using this strategy is actually no different from waiting for death...
After all, the existence of the empty city plan is actually a only survival option after putting it to death!
Zhuge Liang seized such an opportunity, and all the achievements made the empty city plan famous...
This is a coincidence and an inevitable...
Occasionally means that the other party is confused by a strategy and chooses to retreat, while necessity means that the inevitability of the strategy. In such a desperate situation, the empty city is the only choice!
Although this choice is essentially a way to bet on life, in fact, under the circumstances at that time, there was no better choice!
And it is because Sima Yi did not believe that Zhuge Liang dared to bet on his life, and all this kind of betting on his life has become a safe and self-protection strategy!
Just like in a casino, there are always some gamblers who play cards in a genre called tight-handed. Such gamblers have a very prominent feature, that is, when the cards in their hands are not good enough, they will never choose to bet, but will simply fold. Only when they get good enough cards will they enter the pool!
Once such gamblers choose to take action, they can easily make others choose to fold because they are afraid of their strong cards. This is because of this, when they occasionally rarely change their strategies, they are often the most threatening times!
By the same token, Sima Yi, who was extremely suspicious, would never have thought that Zhuge Liang, who was always steady and cautious, would use such a risky strategy...
In this world, no matter who it is...
In fact, they are unwilling to take risks, especially the choice between life and death, which is even more so...
When facing death, everyone's choices become extremely cautious!
Even if it is a very simple decision in normal times, it will become as heavy as Mount Tai when facing life and death!
Let me give you a simple example!
In modern society, medical accidents are actually a very common situation. Because of this, increasingly larger doctors are self-reliant in the process of treating diseases and saving lives, and often pay more attention to the importance of procedures. In many cases, even the procedures themselves are more important than their treatments and saving lives. This is understandable...
For example, there was once a news that there was a mother in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. She eventually jumped off the building and committed suicide due to unbearable pain. The family members of the hospital were unwilling to let the pregnant woman have a caesarean section, while the family members accused the hospital of still being unwilling to perform surgery without their consent, which led to a tragedy...
In fact, the fundamental reason why such a thing happened is the problem of responsibility. No one is willing to bear too much responsibility, whether it is a family member or a hospital. The family member is unwilling to have a caesarean section and expects that pregnant women will give birth naturally. This is a very normal mentality. For the hospital, if the family member does not agree, the doctor will naturally not be able to make decisions without authorization...
In this regard, doctors only have the right to suggest, but no right to decide. From the perspective of family members, they actually only put forward an expectation and a tendency, but the main judgment, in their cognition, is actually left to the doctor for judgment. If the doctor firmly says that he will have a caesarean section, otherwise there may be life-threatening danger, then no family member will choose to oppose the doctor's advice...
But for both doctors and patients, they actually have certain responsibilities in this matter...
From this we can also see that the terror between life and death is so great...
Whether it is a family member or a doctor, it is usually difficult to make a decision when facing life choices...
Of course, if you look beyond this choice, the hospital must bear the main responsibility for this matter. After all, as a mother who is about to give birth, being able to jump off the building by herself in the hospital is a responsibilities that the hospital has unshirkable responsibility in nursing care. The reason why pregnant women jump off the building is certainly related to the final determination of responsibility, but from the objective behavior of jumping off the building, the hospital must bear a considerable responsibility!
What happens in the hospital must bear the corresponding responsibilities. This does not mean that if you believe that you have no responsibility, you will not be responsible...
Just like in some Internet cafes or bathrooms, bosses always post so-called police reminders on it, hoping that customers will take care of their belongings and will not be responsible if they are lost or stolen...
But in fact, this so-called disclaimer is illegal in itself!
Whether in the bathroom or Internet cafe, the boss has big or small responsibilities for things thrown away in such occasions or property losses. This kind of responsibility will not be exempted from the boss’s so-called exemption clause. This practice is nothing more than deceiving oneself...
Take the hospital as an example. No matter how bad the mother's mood is, no matter how much psychological pressure the mother has, no matter how cold and ruthless the mother's family is, objectively speaking, the hospital can allow the mother to be completely unattended when the cervix is almost completely opened, and can walk to the backup operating room next door to jump off the building. This is a very serious dereliction of duty, and this is the fundamental source of this tragedy!
No matter how much evidence the hospital provides to prove why the pregnant woman jumped off the building, there is no way to explain why the pregnant woman jumped off the building. The former is a psychological factor, while the latter is an objective factor. Even if the pregnant woman jumped off the building because her family members were unwilling to have a caesarean section, coupled with physical pain and inner despair, she eventually had the idea of suicide, which was completely the responsibility of the family. However, at a time when pregnant women needed care and did not have any nursing staff around them, they eventually jumped off the building. This is undoubtedly a problem with the hospital...
Return to the topic...
There is a great horror between life and death. Everyone will often be very, very, very careful when facing life and death!
Especially when it comes to life and death, almost no one is willing to take risks!
And because of this, when it comes to life and death, many times even if it is a correct decision, as long as there is a little risk, you will think about it again and again, and may even choose to give up in the end!
Only a true wise man can still make the most correct choice when facing a life-and-death choice!
The choice of the empty city plan fully illustrates this point!
For Zhuge Liang, this kind of adventure itself is actually very inconsistent with his own personality, but he is very clear that he must do this. Only in this way can he get a glimmer of hope!
And You Yue is actually the same at this moment!
Unlike the empty city plan, Zhuge Liang's choice is actually to put it to death and then live!
And You Yue’s choice is even more decisive!
He was killed and then died!
He knew one thing very well. If he fought in the right way, he would not have any way to live!
Even if he can avoid the enemy's attack, death will inevitably be a matter of time. As the so-called knowing oneself and enemy, he will never be defeated in a hundred battles. He is very clear about the gap between himself and the other party. Even in such a dream-like environment, he can clearly judge that the other party's strength is enough to crush him...
In other words, for him, dying in this environment is an inevitable thing!
Yes, death is inevitable!
If you are an ordinary person, when you realize that death is inevitable, you may feel despair in your heart and become decadent...
Just like many terminally ill patients, they often feel completely collapsed when they hear that they have terminally ills, and they are completely desperate, and they no longer have any hopes and fantasies about life...
But You Yue is different!
First of all, he judged that he would not really die, and death in this dream would not affect himself in reality!
Secondly, You Yue knew very well that if death was an inevitable result, then what he had to do was not to try to avoid this death, but to choose to make the most of this death!
Chapter completed!
