Information warfare in the Warring States period! Tian recovered the motherland by spreading "false news"

There are many forms of insincerity, and "I want to say no" is one of them. Not everyone can use this skill, everyone can use it. Have an accurate psychological prediction for yourself and each other. Communicators should have the corresponding evaluation ability, knowing that the other party will make judgments as expected after hearing their satire.

Tian Dan's story tells us that speaking skills are closely related to antonym expression in oral communication. Historical materials come from Historical Records and Biography of Tian Dan.

The hero of this story is Tian Dan, the minister of Qi State. In the previous section about Le Yi, let's discuss the methods of attacking Qi. Considering that it is too difficult for Yan to attack Qi alone, he suggested that Chu, Han, Zhao and Wei, who were defeated by Qi, unite to win. In the battle of Jishui, they completely defeated the Qi army. After the victory, the allies went home. Only Le Yi led the Yan army to pursue Qi mercilessly.

In the Le Yi section, due to lack of space, only Tian Chan of Qi State took this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister of Yan State. Now let's finish the story.

A new theory of historical materials

At this time, Qi Keqing, a famous strategist Su Qin, was assassinated by Qi Minister and was seriously injured. Before he died, he suggested that the King of Qi declare himself a "spy of Yan State" and then commit suicide in Linzi Square, the capital of Qi State. In this way, the assassin must think that he is safe and will take the initiative to show himself.

King Su Qin took the last step of his life. It really works! The mastermind of Su Qin's murder surfaced one by one and was caught by the King of Qi, who punished him and avenged Ai Qing.

Soon after, the ironclad evidence that Su Qin was a traitor in Yan State was revealed one after another. King Hyun Ji didn't expect Aiqing Su Qin to deceive himself for so many years. He didn't expect that he was really a spy of Yan State, and even lied to himself to kill so many ministers before he died. Now Le Yi, the general of Yan, is chasing him, and Qi will even destroy the country.

In the end, Le Yi led the Yan army to attack Linzi and seized all kinds of gold and silver treasures in the palace of Qi. To this end, I personally went to the front line to express my condolences to the soldiers and was named Chang Guojun.

After Linzi, the capital of Qi State, was breached by Le Yi, the King of Qi went to defend the country. Wang Wei not only opened a palace to live with the King of Qi, but also provided him with everything he needed. Later, the arrogance of King Qi Gui made wei ren unbearable and drove him away. By the same token, the King of Qi, who suffered many defeats but failed to improve, was unpopular with Zou and Lu, so he had to lead the remnants to flee to (now Juxian County, Shandong Province) to settle down.

At this time Tian Chan appeared. He is a distant relative of the royal family of Qi, and his surname is Tian Wei. Readers who are familiar with the list of gods must want to ask, Jiang Ziya is the founder of Qi, why is the monarch of Qi not surnamed Jiang?

The early monarch of the State of Qi was indeed surnamed Jiang, but during the period of Qi Kanggong, Tian He, the doctor of the State of Qi, exiled Qi Kanggong and established himself as the King of Qi. In 386 BC, the King of the Zhou Dynasty founded Tianhe, with Qi as the title. In history, Tian He was called Tianqi, Tian He was called Taigong Tianqi.

Although he is a "relative in the countryside", Tian Dan is just a "marketing manager" in the capital Linzi, with no fame at all. When the city was broken, Tian Dan fled to Anping City with his family. Unfortunately, the Yan army quickly attacked Anping, and the people and refugees fled again.

Tian Chan had already made full preparations this time. Together with his relatives, he sawed off the protruding axle on the wheel and wrapped it in an iron shell. When escaping, many people were hit by the protruding axle, resulting in the overall fracture of the axle and damage to the carriage. They can't escape any more, and they have all become prisoners of the Yan army.

At this time, the vast territory of Qi was captured by the Yan army led by it, leaving only Jucheng and Jimo. After Tian Dan's family fled safely to Jimo City, Tian Dan and Jimo soldiers and civilians resolutely fought against the Yanjun.

On the other hand, King Ji Xuan of Juan may think Juan is a good place. After all, Qi Huangong took refuge in Ju 'an before he ascended the throne, but King Ji Xuan made a stupid decision ── asking Chu to send reinforcements to save him.

The king of Chu sent a general to save him. As a result, he took the opportunity to kill the king of Qi and then recaptured the land occupied by Qi. The soldiers and civilians of the State of Qi soon established Tian, the son of the King of Qi, as the new king, namely King Qixiang. Sadly, the king of Qi thought that he could fight back like an elephant, but unfortunately, with his surname Jiang, how can he bless Tian's "descendants"? However, although Cheng Ju didn't bless the King of Qi, it seems that there really is the national luck of Qi. Yan troops attacked Jun 'an City, and the rest of Qi soldiers and civilians fought side by side in Jun 'an City. Le Yi never conquered it easily, and kept it for several years, so that Qi's luck would not be completely cut off.

At the same time, Yan Jun also pointed to Jimo City, and the defenders of Jimo City led the troops in battle and died in a crushing defeat. The people and soldiers in the city elected Tian Dan as the new leader.

Soon, Yan Zhaowang, the monarch of Yan State, died, and his son Yan Wanghui ascended the throne. Tian Chan immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched a plan to restore the country.

Tian Dan sent a message to Yan, saying: attacking the city and plundering the land, Qi was powerless to resist, leaving only Jimo. It is not that these two places are easy to defend but difficult to attack, but that Le Yi wants to take the opportunity to stand on his own feet as the king of Qi. Cheng Ju and the people of Jimo know that as long as Le Yi is a general, he is safe. If Yan Re changes the leader, he will die and die together. 」

King Yan Hui, who just acceded to the throne, really believed it and made him a general to return to China instead of Le Yi. Le Yi knew he would die when he returned to Yan and fled to Zhao. Yan Jun frontline soldiers know the inside story, and they are dissatisfied with it, which greatly affects their morale. In the later battle of Changping, Qin Jun probably learned from Tian Shan the rumor trick that "Zhao Kuo, the son of Jun, is the leading figure".

Tian Dan ordered people in Jimo City to set meals in the open-air yard to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. Although everyone was puzzled, they did it anyway, which led to the birds nearby being attracted by the "free buffet" and hovering over jimo city in large numbers. Yan Jun was puzzled by this.

Tian Dan carried out the second wave of rumor offensive at this time, claiming that there was a divine lower bound to guide Qi people to resist Yan, and the divine man would personally appear in front of Tian Dan, the founder of Jimo.

A few days later, a brave soldier secretly shouted a joke beside Tian Dan: "Can I be your teacher?" "Say that finish and turned to run.

Tian Chan immediately asked someone to get him back, let him sit facing the east and serve him with the attitude of treating the divine teacher.

The soldier was frightened and said to Tian Dan, "My Lord, I was joking. I have no ability at all. Please give me a break! " ! "Tian Chan told him in a low voice and seriously," don't tell me anything, honestly do as I ask! 」

From then on, all the orders issued by Tian Chan will specifically point out that it is "acting according to the will of the god teacher". As a result, the Yan army was suspicious, but the Qi army and civilians in Jimo City were like chicken blood.

Tian Dan continued to spread rumors to Yan Jun: "Jimo City soldiers and civilians have already burned their bridges, and it is useless to storm. To crush their morale, it is best to cut off the noses of Qi prisoners of war and force them to attack the city with cannon fodder. This kind of behavior will definitely destroy the will of the defenders in Jimo City. 」

Yan's army really did it. When the defenders of Jimo City saw that everyone was afraid of being captured by Yan, no one planned to surrender to Yan, and no one wanted to be captured by Yan.

Tian Dan once again made a rumor: "The ancestral graves of defenders and civilians in Jimo City are all outside the city. If their ancestral graves are destroyed and their ancestors are humiliated, the defenders will certainly suffer and lose their fighting spirit. 」

Yan Jun believed it again, dug the grave and burned the body. The defenders of Jimo City are very angry about this, and everyone wants to play at once!

Seeing the change in the morale of the defenders, Tian Dan knew that everyone was in high spirits and ready to fight. He personally picked up tools, commanded the army and civilians to build fortifications, shared the same fate with the soldiers, not only enlisted his family, but also took out all the rations at home to reward the soldiers. He ordered the heavily armed soldiers to ambush in the throat early, so that the elderly, the sick and the disabled citizens could stand on the towers, showing signs of hunger and cold, and then sent messengers to the Yan Jun camp to request Kaesong to surrender.

General Yan thought that the previous "psychological warfare" had achieved outstanding results, and the soldiers thought that the long-term battle had finally come to an end. Everyone thought that there were only hungry civilians left in Jimo city.

Kafka said: "The more fictional the story is, the more real the details are. Tian Dan collected a large amount of gold and silver treasures from Jimo City for his own tricks, ordered the wealthy businessmen in Jimo City to give them to General Yan Jun for riding robbery, and told him: "Jimo City is about to surrender. After the general enters the city, don't rob our families and wives. Please let us live in peace. This is a trivial matter. General, don't abandon it! 」

Riding and robbing proudly agreed to the rich merchant's "begging", when the Yanjun completely relaxed from top to bottom. That night, Tian Dan took out more than 1000 cows collected early, clothed them with crimson cloaks with dragon patterns, and tied sharp knives to their horns. The soldiers put the reed soaked in oil on the oxtail, lit it and immediately opened the city gate. The frightened fire cow rushed out of the gate and went straight to Yan Jun's camp. Tian Chan chose five thousand soldiers to run with the fire cow.

After the soldiers of Yan were awakened in their sleep, they immediately fell into chaos because of countless mad cows. Five thousand soldiers arrived later, and the drums were ringing in Jimo city. People knocked on metal utensils and made a noise, which shook the earth. The morale of the Yan army quickly collapsed, and the soldiers were in a state of chaos. General Yan was killed in the chaos, and the Qi army won a great victory. This is the most famous "Fire Bull Array" in history, and Tian Dan is also the inventor of the Fire Bull Array.

The people of Qi and disabled soldiers who fled before began to concentrate in Jimo City, and the troops in Tian Dan's hands grew day by day. With the disintegration of the Yan army, Tian Dan led the troops to recover the territory of Qi state one after another, driving the Yan army out of the country and returning to the north of the Yellow River.

Later, Tian Dan went to Cheng Ju to pick up King Qi Xiang, who was in charge of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and King Qi Xiang named Tian Dan "Anpingjun". Tian Dan's strong desire for survival in Anping City has aroused great potential, and this title is well deserved!

Clear one's name by one's ability

To sum up Tian Dan's speaking skills is to say no.

Sounds tacky? Although vulgar, the connotation of this skill is not sloppy at all. You may say, what you really mean is that you don't want what you want! What's the big deal?

Literally, it is really a person who says he doesn't want what he wants. But if you dig deeper, you will find that it has a more complicated meaning. The word "Yao" not only represents the word "Yao" itself, but also can be a virtual reference, such as expressing willingness to say "don't want to", hoping to say "don't want to" and not afraid to say "fear". Tian Dan played like this three times: the first time he said he was afraid of changing generals, the second time he said he was afraid of cutting his nose, and the third time he said he was afraid of digging graves. In fact, he was not only not afraid of any of them, but also hoped that the other side would do so. The enemy was really trapped three times in a row.

The technique of trying to say no has two advantages:

The first advantage, like Tian Chan, is that I said I didn't want it, but the people who listened to me-my opponents, friends and competitors-insisted on giving me these things after listening to me, and the result was exactly what I wanted.

The second advantage is that if you want to say no, you can avoid some embarrassment. Even if you don't get it in the end, it doesn't matter Anyway, I already said no, and you don't know exactly what I'm thinking.
