Is it true that Sima Yi and his son were trapped in the valley by Zhuge Liang's fire and finally escaped after being put out by the heavy rain?
This is the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In real history, Zhuge Liang only conquered Wei five times and reached Qishan twice, but some of them were aborted, such as Wei Yan's street pavilion and lack of food and grass. It is true that Sima Yi was burned to death, but it was not almost burned to death. It's just that Sima Yi suffered a little loss. That is to say, Zhuge Liang wanted to retreat, and Sima Yi hurried to catch up with a canyon. Zhuge Liang set an ambush and set fire to Sima Yi, who suffered heavy losses and Zhuge Liang retreated safely. In fact, in the words of historians, there were only two and a half confrontations between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. As for the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that Zhuge Liang hit Wei once and Sima Yi came to fight. In fact, Sima Yi had to deal with Zhuge Liang and clean up the military forces and civil strife of Gongsun Zan and Sun Quan in the north. As for Zhuge Liang, regardless of the weakness of Shu, he forced troops to attack the powerful Wei country year after year. Some people say that this is belligerence, and the egg hits the stone and is eager for quick success. First, develop agriculture in central Sichuan and make full preparations before the war. Some people say that Zhuge Liang's defense is based on attack, because attack can be fought from all directions, but defense needs more troops than attack, so Zhuge Liang chooses attack as the best policy. It depends on your own opinion. In short, my opinion is that Zhuge Liang is a human being, and he is definitely not a god. He has gains and losses. It is remarkable that he can develop Liu Bei, who weaves straw sandals, into a local warlord. Politically, he can stabilize the domestic economy and develop agriculture. As for his blunder in attacking Wei, the successors lacked training, knowing tactics but not strategy. That's acceptable. Everyone makes mistakes. Even Chairman Mao can make mistakes, so why was Zhuge Liang so demanding in ancient times? Treating the deified people in ancient times with a normal heart is the correct view of history.
