Chapter Two Thousand and Twenty
In a sense, the so-called death and resurrection, in essence, is actually the best choice in a desperate situation!
is like the empty city plan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in the final analysis, if Zhuge Kongming really has enough troops, he will definitely not choose to put the empty city plan, as long as there are enough soldiers in the ambush in the city, then the empty city plan will become a perfect strategy in the true sense......
If the enemy is scared away, it is a good thing, but even if the enemy enters the city, he can still ambush the enemy, which is the most optimal state of the empty city plan in theory, in fact, this is also a theoretically speaking, the most secure strategy......
No matter what way the enemy chooses to attack, it is always in their own calculations!
In the final analysis, the real sense of strategy should also be like this......
A good strategy should be a good strategy in itself, that is, no matter what kind of response the other party makes, it will be a favorable result for yourself......
And the empty city plan is different, strictly speaking, the empty city plan is a conspiracy!
The biggest difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy is that a conspiracy can be discovered, but even if it is discovered, it is often meaningless and cannot be cracked......
The conspiracy is different, once the conspiracy is successful, it often produces huge benefits, but the conspiracy can be recognized, once the conspiracy is recognized, then the conspiracy not only cannot work, but often will eat the master!
For a strategist, using Yang Mou is undoubtedly a better choice than using a conspiracy, because almost every change in Yang Mou itself is beneficial to himself, even after the other party is aware of it, it is difficult to change this!
It's like a discord meter......
Once this kind of strategy is used, even if the other party realizes that this is a kind of discord, but in fact, it will also have the effect of discord!
This is an out-and-out conspiracy!
Just like the so-called meritorious master, for the emperors, it is of course a good thing to have enough capable courtiers under them, if the courtiers are too capable and have too much power, it will inevitably cause the emperor's suspicion, in this case, if provoked by others, the emperor is likely to attack this courtier, for an emperor, even if the courtier is completely loyal to himself, but the merit of the lord itself, in fact, is worthy of his own doubt!
In the case of suspicion, even if the emperor knew that this was a ploy by some people, he would be happy to accept it, and he would try to eradicate this potential risk!
Many times, people always think that the emperor is mediocre and incompetent to listen to slander, but in fact, many times, those so-called traitors are nothing more than a backstabber, the emperor's mode of thinking is different from ordinary people, for them, consolidating their power itself is a matter of course, as long as someone has too much power, they will naturally become the emperor's enemy, no matter how loyal the person is, it will not change this result!
In many cases, the relationship between the emperor and the powerful ministers is like this......
The ministers did not want to rebel, but in many cases they were just forced to do so......
In this situation of being suspicious of the emperor, if you are stupid to maintain your loyalty, you will only end up with a dead end!
It can be said that this is the embodiment of the most typical yang conspiracy above the court!
There is no reason, there is no evidence, and it is completely beneficial to the invincible conspiracy!
On the contrary, above the court, most of the officials who use various conspiracies will not go far, and the conspiracy will generally be broken, and most of them will end up in the death of the clan, and the real masters of officialdom generally disdain to use conspiracy......
In the same way, for Zhuge Liang, if he loses the street pavilion, if the troops are sufficient, he will not be willing to put up an empty city plan, his character is cautious, and the choice of strategy is usually one yang plot 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 thinks that Zhuge Liang is also a conspiracy this time!
He didn't doubt that his choice to retreat was in Zhuge Liang's calculations, but he also doubted that if he marched by himself, it would still be within Zhuge Liang's calculations!
So he came to the conclusion that retreat was at least a safe option, and that a march might be a hit......
As for Zhuge Liang will use conspiracy and leave such a huge flaw, he never thought of it, because in his cognition, Zhuge Liang would not put himself in such danger!
And this is precisely where Zhuge Liang is clever!
For Zhuge Liang, the empty city is the only option, although this choice itself has a certain degree of danger, but not using this strategy is actually no different from waiting for death......
In the final analysis, the existence of the empty city plan is actually the only survival option after putting it to death!
Zhuge Liang seized such an opportunity, and all of them achieved the prestige of the empty city plan......
This is both an accident and an inevitability......
Chance refers to the other party being confused by the strategy and choosing to retreat, while necessity refers to the inevitability of the strategy.
Although this choice is essentially a gamble, in fact, there is no better choice under the circumstances!
And because Sima Yi didn't believe that Zhuge Liang dared to gamble on his life, all this kind of gambling became a strategy for safety and self-protection!
Just like in the casino, there is always a part of gamblers, they play cards belong to a school called tight hands, such gamblers, they have a very significant characteristic, that is, when their cards are not good enough, they will never choose to bet, but very simply fold, only when they get good enough cards, they will enter the pot!
And such gamblers, once they choose to make a move, can easily make others choose to fold because they are afraid of their strong hand, and because of this, when they occasionally rarely change their strategy, it is often when they are most threatening!
In the same way, Sima Yi, who was extremely suspicious, would never have imagined that Zhuge Liang, who had always been steady and cautious, would use such a risky strategy......
In this world, no matter who it is......
In fact, they are all reluctant to take risks, especially when choosing between life and death......
In the face of death, everyone's choice will become cautious!
Even if it is a very simple decision in normal times, when facing life and death, it will become as heavy as Mount Tai!
Let's take a simple example!
In modern society, medical malpractice is actually a very common situation, that is, because of this, more and more doctors are more and more concerned about the importance of procedures in the process of treating diseases and saving people, and in many cases, even the procedures themselves will be more important than their treatment and saving people, which is also understandable......
For example, there was a news that there was a woman in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital who committed suicide by jumping off the building because of unbearable pain, and the family members of the hospital were unwilling to let the pregnant woman have a caesarean section, and the family blamed the hospital for not being willing to perform the operation with their consent, which led to the tragedy......
In fact, the reason why such a thing happens, in the final analysis, is the problem of responsibility, whether it is the family or the hospital, no one is willing to take too much responsibility, the family is unwilling to have a caesarean section, and they expect the pregnant woman to give birth naturally, which is a very normal mentality, and for the hospital, if the family does not agree, the doctor naturally cannot make the decision without authorization......
In this regard, doctors only have the right to make recommendations, not the right to decide, and from the perspective of the family, they are actually only putting forward an expectation, a tendency, but the main judgment, in their cognition, is actually left to the doctor to judge, if the doctor firmly says that the cesarean section is going to be performed, otherwise it may be life-threatening, then I am afraid that no family member will choose to oppose the doctor's recommendation......
It's just that for both doctors and patients, in fact, there is a certain amount of responsibility in this matter......
It can also be seen from this that there is a great terror between life and death......
Whether it is a family member or a doctor, it is often difficult to make a decision when faced with life decisions......
After all, as a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, she can jump off the building in the hospital by herself, which in itself means that the hospital has an unshirkable responsibility in nursing, and the reason why a pregnant woman should jump off the building is of course partly related to the final responsibility determination, but from the objective behavior of jumping off the building, the hospital must bear a lot of responsibility!
What happens in the hospital, the hospital is bound to bear the corresponding responsibility, which does not mean that there is no responsibility if it believes that there is no responsibility......
It's like in some Internet cafes or bathrooms, where the bosses will always put the so-called police tips on them, hoping that customers will take care of their belongings and not be responsible if they are lost or stolen......
But in fact, this so-called exemption clause itself is illegal!
Whether it is in the bathroom or in an Internet café, the boss has a large or small responsibility for the things lost in this kind of occasion and the property damage suffered, and this kind of responsibility will not be exempted from responsibility because the boss has posted the so-called exemption clause......
Taking 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 indifferent and ruthless the mother's family is, but objectively speaking, the hospital can let the mother be in a completely unattended state when the uterine mouth is almost open, and she can go to the spare operating room next door to jump off the building, which is a very serious dereliction of duty in itself, and this is the fundamental source of this tragedy!
No matter how much evidence the hospital puts forward to prove why the pregnant woman jumped off the building, but there is no way to explain why the pregnant woman can jump off the building, the former is a psychological factor, and the latter is an objective factor, even if the pregnant woman herself jumped off the building because the family was unwilling to have a caesarean section, coupled with physical pain and inner despair, and finally had the idea of suicide, which is completely the responsibility of the family, but the pregnant woman finally jumped off the building at a time when she was in a very, very need for nursing, without any nursing staff around, This is undoubtedly a hospital problem......
Back to business......
There is a great terror between life and death, and everyone is often very, very, very careful when facing life and death!
Especially when it comes to life and death, almost no one wants to take risks!
And because of this, when it comes to life and death, many times even if it is the right decision, as long as there is a little risk, you will think twice, and you may even choose to give up in the end!
And only a truly wise man can still make the most correct choice when faced with a life-and-death decision!
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 character, but he knows very well that he must do this, only in this way can he get a glimmer of life!
And at this moment, You Yue is actually the same!
And unlike the empty city plan, Zhuge Liang's choice is actually to put him to death and live later!
And You Yue's choice is even more decisive!
He was put to death 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, but death is bound to be a matter of time, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, invincible in a hundred battles, he knows very well where the gap between himself and the other party is, even in such a dream-like environment, he can clearly judge that the opponent's strength is enough to crush himself......
In other words, for him, dying in this environment is an inevitable thing in itself!
Yes, death is inevitable!
If it is an ordinary person, when it realizes that death is inevitable, it may produce despair in its heart, and thus become decadent......
Just like many terminally ill patients, as soon as they hear that they have a terminal illness, their hearts will be completely broken, completely hopeless, and they no longer have any hope and illusion about life......
But Yuyue is different!
First of all, he judged that he would not really die, and that 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!
Yes, take advantage of death!
