The empty fort strategy
Once, Zhuge Liang was staying in a small city named Xicheng. He only had a few soldiers with him—the main army was busy fighting elsewhere.
Suddenly, he received some bad news: Sima Yi’s powerful army was on its way. There was no time to escape.
Zhuge Liang ordered his men to open the city gates. Then he told them to hide in the city. Zhuge Liang walked up on the city wall and calmly began to play his guqin.
When Sima Yi arrived, he saw the open gate and heard the music. He hesitated. “Could this be a trap ” he wondered. Sima Yi finally ordered his army to leave.
The city was saved, all thanks to Zhuge Liang’s clever trick.
