What deserves a little discussion is: is it necessary to convince people with virtue?
Judging from various situations in history and reality, it seems that it is still inseparable from power. Take Zhuge Liang as an example. When Zhuge Liang let Meng Huo go for the first time, everyone was puzzled and asked Zhuge Liang together. Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I want to catch him as easily as taking something out of my pocket, but only by persuading him verbally can we really pacify the south." It can be seen that Zhuge Liang's courage to capture seven depends on his absolute military superiority. In his own words, it's as easy as taking something out of a bag. Otherwise, it's no joke. It's probably the danger of letting the dragon into the sea and the tiger up the mountain, and the consequences are unimaginable.
From this perspective, convincing people with virtue must be combined with convincing people with strength. It's just that strength is a means rather than an end. "Fighting is to talk." Serving people with morality and putting heart first can achieve long-term stability.
