I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 380 Wei Guo split?

"I just don't know if my uncle is willing?"

"I am willing!" Zhang Xiu said immediately, "And there is another very important thing."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiudao: "The prince of Wu has passed away, and now Jianye is arguing about who should be appointed as prince."

Li Heng's heart trembled, the battle between the two palaces?

He carefully calculated that this year was the fourth year of Yanxi, which was the year when Sun Quan's eldest son Sun Deng died.

In the coming year, Sun Quan will establish a new crown prince, and a series of political conflicts within the state of Wu have resulted in a factional struggle between the new crown prince and King Lu.

From then on, the ministers of Wu State also divided into two groups.

A large number of political speculators rushed to curry favor with the prince and King Lu, and encouraged them to kill each other as soon as possible.

A few days later, Ma Yong suddenly came to see him.

"It is an honor for me to serve the general."

Li Heng took it and asked, "How come you still have time to do business today?"

After staying in Jiangling for a few days, Zhang Xiu left hastily.

Hundreds of years later, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had the same struggle, and many people died.

Li Heng glanced at Ma Yong, whose expression was a little strange.

Once this situation arises, no one can escape.

After arriving in Xiangyang, he first had a meal with several important officials in Xiangyang, and then went to inspect the military camp in Xiangyang.

The chain of political suspicion is formed because people's hearts lack a sense of security in the brutal political struggle.

In the military camp, he also drank some wine with the soldiers, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

"It stands to reason that we should have three sons, Sun He, but many ministers want to have four sons, Sun Ba."

Ma Yong smiled awkwardly and said, "Luoyang has been busy recently. That old thief Sima Yi doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly."

For example, Lu Xun was scolded to death by Sun Quan's men during this political struggle.

In the blink of an eye, it has arrived in the first month of the fifth year of Yanxi, and Jiangling City and Xiangyang City are filled with a New Year atmosphere.

Because this situation will create an irreversible chain of political suspicion.

Li Heng first visited Jiangling and then went north to Xiangyang.

After reading it, Sun Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Heng nodded and said: "I know about this. I will wait and see what happens. I will bother my uncle to stay in Jiangdong for a while."

He brought back a letter written by Li Heng to Sun Quan, in which Li Heng promised to publicly state that Nanjun would not accept people from Jiangxia County and Changsha County in the future.

"General, please take a look."

Du Yu wondered: "What can we do about this matter?"

Li Heng opened it curiously and started to look.

You didn’t know this by looking at it, but you were really shocked when you saw it.

Good guy, there is an anti-Shu upsurge in Luoyang?

There are rumors everywhere in the counties that once the Shu army goes north, they will kill people everywhere.

After all, this ancient upper-class elite has thousands of years of experience in governing the people. Even if they have not studied journalism, they have a very accurate control of human nature.

The most powerful human emotion is fear.

Fear and survival are closely related.

Just think about it, if a person doesn't know what fear is, when he encounters danger, will he be unable to avoid the danger in time?

Therefore, the bottom layer of fear is the biological survival instinct.

This instinct accompanies mankind into the civilized era and is something that everyone has.

Sima Yi's strategy is simple: create fear first. Once you successfully establish a fear in the hearts of the people, the people will give a strong emotional reaction.

Just like a person who encounters a tiger in the wild will have a strong emotional reaction to the tiger.

Either run away in terror, or draw your knife in terror to give the tiger an extra meal.

Whether it is to give the tiger an extra meal or not, when faced with fear, one of the human reactions is to fight back in order to possibly protect themselves.

Here, after Sima Yi implanted fear in the people, he injected chicken blood into the people and told them that the Shu army was not scary. As long as we unite, we can destroy the Shu army.

When people face fear and find a way to protect themselves, they will quickly enter a state of security. At this time, they will feel happy and secrete dopamine.

If someone wants to break this sense of security and tell the people of Wei again that the Shu army is invincible, it would be equivalent to pulling the people of Wei out of their sense of security and making them face their fear.

As we all know, most people are unable to face their fears.

But most people can eliminate someone who pulls them from their sense of security.

As long as the person who creates anxiety all day long is dying, the sense of security will return at Sima Yi's call.

As more and more fearful people join this sense of security, the anti-Shu crowd expands rapidly.

As long as someone jumps out and says that the Shu army is invincible, or that the Shu army will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, then this person who jumps out will definitely be attacked by most people.

Because the sense of security in people's hearts is like the life-saving straw in the hands of a person who is about to fall into the water.

Sima Yi had mastered this method of controlling the people.

Ma Yong muttered on the side: "I really can't understand one thing."

"what's up?"

"The evil wind in Luoyang has made me confused. We have already taken back Guanzhong. It stands to reason that we have won. How come the news came from Luoyang. They gave up Guanzhong, are they the ones who won?"

Li Heng looked at Ma Yong's chubby face and asked, "Then what do you want them to say?"

"Failure is failure."

"How dare Sima Yi say that?"

"Sima Yi..." Ma Yong was stunned for a moment and then understood.

"Military failure is political failure, but the right to interpret political failure or success lies in Sima Yi's hands."

"I understand."

"You have to remember that most people cannot distinguish between objective and subjective things."

"Objective or subjective? Is it the theory in "Seeking Truth from Facts" written by the general?"

"Yes."

"I understand, Luoyang's remarks are full of subjectivity?"

"No, Luoyang's remarks must be viewed from two aspects. Sima Yi knew that he was lying. He could clearly distinguish between objectivity and subjectivity. He himself was objective. But some people in Luoyang couldn't tell the difference, and their cognition was subjective."

"I understand, what should we do next?"

"Do you know Tai Chi?"

"You know, yin and yang."

"Many things are contradictory. Sima Yi cannot make everyone oppose us subjectively."

"The general means that Cao Wei will still have objective people think that they have lost?"

"Yes, those people think that Sima Yi is insulting them, and their prejudice against Sima Yi will only deepen. They will seriously object to Sima Yi's current actions and tell everyone the facts."

"Will everyone believe it?"

"It will be divided into two factions, one is the conservatives, and the other is the reformists."

"This……"

"Conservatives believe that Wei is invincible, while reformists believe that Wei should not be arrogant and should learn from us."
