USING THIS STRATEGY

This strategy is aimed at creating fear in the opponent. The goal is to put the opponent on edge constantly in order to tire them and demoralize them.

Psychological warfare is regarded as a yin tactic because it is designed to “burrow” into the mind of the opponent and create fear from within. The strategy is best used against a stronger opponent. Because it is a battle of minds, knowledge of the opponent’s psychological weakness is critical in executing this strategy. Using fear as a strategy requires your opponent to believe in the credibility of a threat. In the incident described above, Zhuge Liang knew Cao Cao was not only a suspicious man, but was also a careful commander who was not known to take big risks. Cao Cao often played it safe in defense. He felt it was better to prepare for the worst than to compromise safety. Cao Cao’s psychological tendencies allowed Zhuge Liang to use fear as a weapon against him.

Fear is a formidable weapon. When used expertly, fear permeates the atmosphere of the battlefield. When your opponent is always looking over their shoulder for surprises, you know you have won.
