"You are unreasonable!"
In utter exasperation, that was all Guan Yilin could say in response to Xiao Luo's astute counter-argument.
"I'm only presenting the evidence, and therefore, I am reasonable. But, even if what you say is true that Sima Yi saw through Zhuge Liang's empty-city stratagem, it would only mean that Zhuge Liang had expected Sima Yi to recognize his ruse, thereby forcing Sima Yi to obediently withdraw his troops—this showed his deep understanding of Sima Yi's predicament; that is 'when all birds are shot, the bow will be set aside, and when all hares are killed, the hounds will be stewed and eaten.' From this perspective, Sima Yi was already at a disadvantage. So, it is inaccurate to say that Sima Yi was the foremost strategist during the Three Kingdoms period," Xiao Luo said indifferently.
