Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 244 What is Psychological Warfare?
Zhuge Liang, who was "out of customs", looked a little haggard, obviously this action consumed a lot of energy and effort.

"The meeting will be postponed for a while, why should Uncle Zhuge be in such a hurry?" Liu Chan looked at his slightly dark circles, feeling a little distressed.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince, for your concern, Liang has his own measure."

Liu Chan couldn't help curling his lips, would he exhaust himself to death in Wuzhangyuan if he had the sense of propriety?
However, after Uncle Wang's conditioning, he also half-forced him to sleep.

In addition, now that the old Liu is prosperous, he is not as embarrassing as he was in history, and with the help of Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang's body is actually not as weak as it was in history.

"Prince, please have a look." Zhuge Liang asked the waiter to bring the leather scrolls over, and opened them for Liu Chan to display.

Liu Chan looked in surprise at the large leather scrolls that were unfolded one by one, on which exquisite pictures were drawn with ink pens and dyes.

The exquisiteness of his paintings is not inferior to any artist known to Liu Chan's later generations.

But the problem is...he really hasn't seen Zhuge Liang practice painting much!
Probably it was the talent he developed when he was studying or working in Nanyang.

If Zhuge Liang also has a list of talents, Liu Chan really wants to click on it at this time to see if all of them are all [Peerless Wizards]...

"What does the prince think of this painting?" Zhuge Liang was obviously very satisfied with his work, so he asked with a smile.

Liu Chan sighed: "The exquisiteness of the painting is like a supernatural workmanship. This kind of skill is really amazing. I have been with Uncle Zhuge for many years, but I don't know it."

Zhuge Liang still smiled and said nothing, waiting quietly for Liu Chan to discover the mystery.

He believed in Prince Yi's ingenuity, and he could discover something special in this scroll without further explanation from him.

"Huh?" Liu Chan looked at it, his attention gradually shifted from the artist's painting skills to the content of the scroll.

Just now I was shocked by the exquisite painting techniques, only now did I realize that these scrolls are still "comics".

This volume first draws heaven, earth, sun and moon and many other totems in the religious beliefs of the barbarian people, making them concrete, and then draws a dragon, which gives birth to the barbarian people.

Behind it are cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, and then the chief officials of the Ministry are painted on horses and covered with flags, patrolling to appease, and the barbarian people are drawn to lead cattle and carry wine, and the image of gold treasures...

The front is fine.

Many ethnic groups such as Sou and Kunming also worship dragons, and some tribes also consider themselves descendants of dragons.

But now Uncle Zhuge took it out for a large-scale special painting, obviously to use the ancient totem of the dragon as an entry point to connect the Han and Yi tribes.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the dragon was regarded as a symbol of imperial power.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, dragon worship has been further closely combined with emperor worship, and emperors began to be regarded as the incarnation of the dragon god and the birth of a real dragon.

And to publicize the Longsheng Yimin is undoubtedly promoting the same origin of Han and Yi, and it can also take the opportunity to instill in the Yimin the concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

It is even more straightforward when it comes to the back of the picture scroll. The Han people help the barbarians and manage them in a unified way, so that the barbarian people's life is rich, and the barbarian people give back to the Han people and publicize that Han and barbarians are like-minded.

Good guy, this set of exquisite "comic strips" is the real weapon of this Southern Expedition!
Starting directly from the belief of the spiritual origin, carrying private goods, cooperating with military strength, helping and appeasing and other means, this whole set of combined punches, those tribal leaders in the mountains will not be directly beaten and grateful?

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's painting did not belittle the beliefs of the barbarians, but respected and recognized it, and even the private goods included in it were all private goods for the real win-win situation.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Liu Chan said happily, "As soon as this picture scroll comes out, why worry about those leaders of the barbarians not being grateful? It is also possible for the barbarians to return to their hearts."

[Zhuge Liang favorability +1] (95)

Zhuge Liang was very relieved to see that the prince really saw the mystery quickly, and he rarely joked: "I just hope that among them, no one is as smart as the prince, who can see through the mystery at a glance."

Liu Chan said solemnly: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhuge, there must be no possibility."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.

After the joke, Liu Chan said seriously: "Even if some of the leaders of the barbarians see through the mystery, since they have this wisdom, they should know that it is the benefit of both Han and barbarians."

Zhuge nodded his head: "At the meeting, we still need to tell the interests of all ethnic groups and win over their leaders."

Liu Chan naturally understood what Zhuge Liang meant. The return of the barbarian people to their hearts is the foundation of the Han-Yi sympathy, but this requires long-term communication and adaptation, and there will definitely be friction and conflicts in the middle.

It is useless to send people to shout slogans at the barbarians every day. They must feel that life is getting better day by day under Lao Liu's governance, and that there is food in the barn before they will have the simplest patriotic feelings.

If you want to see results in the short term, the focus is on these tribal leaders.

……

After sufficient preparations, in early July, the first congress of various ethnic groups in Nanzhong was officially held in Dianchi Lake.

Except for certain extremist forces who were forcibly defeated and garrisoned to control them because they were unable to communicate, and large Han households whose homes were ransacked and local tyrants were raided for disobedience, representatives of other forces who had made it to the stage had arrived.

Including Meng Huo, Cuan Xi, King Pu Catu, and Huo Bu'eri, who had already surrendered, were also among them.

They also thoughtfully arranged some people who are proficient in the native languages ​​of various ethnic groups to act as translators next to the leaders.

"See Prince."

Dressed in formal attire and wearing a jade sword on his waist, Liu Chan did not look sideways. He walked slowly to the main seat while the tribal leaders and the Han family heads stood up and saluted, and sat down with his sleeves thrown.

Zhuge Liang followed behind Liu Chan, sitting beside Liu Chan and lowering his head.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

Then everyone took their seats.

"Gentlemen, Gaoding of Yueyi County, Yongkai of Yizhou County, and Zhu Bao, the prefect of Yizhou County, these three people launched a rebellion for their own selfishness, and tricked all ethnic groups in the South and Central China to get involved, resulting in the death of our good men from the Han and Yi clans. It is an unforgivable crime to lose life!"

Liu Chan cut to the chase, first of all to determine the nature of the conflict.

First, this war was a counterinsurgency, not an invasion, and the Han army did not plunder when they came. Everyone saw it.

Second, the fault lies with those two dead ghosts and the person who is about to become a dead ghost. Both of us are not enemies, but victims of conspiracy.

Sometimes a simple sentence can bring the relationship between the two parties closer or further away.

At this time, Liu Chan first dispelled the hostility of some people. After all, many barbarians died in battle, and they all had families and relatives.

There was a moment of silence on the field, mainly because the tribal leaders had basically never experienced such an occasion, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

What's more, many tribes don't trust Liu Chan yet, and they don't know how they will be treated in the future, so they feel uneasy.

At this moment, Meng Huo, who had surrendered, took the initiative to cup his fists and said, "What the crown prince said is very true, and my Meng family suffered a lot from it. That Yong Kai deceived me to be honest, so that my Han army came here to oppress our barbarians. , and made a big mistake...Meng Huo is willing to die to pay for his crime!"

Liu Chan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard the word "straightforward". If Meng Huo in the novel, he could indeed be called straightforward.

You...forget about it, there are so many eyes that you almost turn your heart into a honeycomb.

However, the Meng family, which has a high reputation among the barbarians, is indeed the best choice to open up the situation as a "childcare".

Then Huo Bu'eri and Pu Wang Catu also expressed their opinions one after another, telling a touching experience of being treated kindly by the Han army.

In fact, King Puwang did not feel that he was being treated kindly. His mounts and war elephants all ran away, and the pets that accompanied him for many years were gone. The elite suffered heavy casualties, and he was stabbed several times by the general...

Just looking at Ding Feng's tiger eyes, he still told a touching story, even telling his own eyes with tears in his eyes, and other tribal leaders couldn't help being moved by it.

But whether those tears were caused by emotion, only Pu Wang Catu himself knows...

With these few supporters taking the lead, the atmosphere quickly heated up, and most of the tribal leaders were not as restrained as they were at the beginning.

As for those Han surnames, since the rumors of Liu Chan spread, many have turned their backs, and the worst is to wait and see.

And after Liu Chan completely quelled the rebellion, the spread of such rumors reached a peak in Nanzhong, especially in the Han circle.

They did not hesitate to stand on the side of the King of Hanzhong and the prince who were "destined to return".

Seeing that the situation was opening up and the atmosphere was good, Liu Chan ordered someone to take Zhuge Liang's painstaking efforts these days - the picture scroll of Yi people's beliefs.

The big one is coming, Liu Chan twitched his mouth, looking forward to the reaction of these barbarian leaders.
