What the ears hear is not as good as what the eyes see, and what the eyes see is not achieved by their own practice.
Example: Listening is empty, seeing is believing. Even if relatives and friends talk nonsense, they are not as convincing as what they see with their own eyes.

When Xuan Di proclaimed himself emperor in the Han Dynasty, there was an incident on the northwest border, saying that Qiang people often harassed, seized cities and killed officials. The situation is very serious. When the court received the report, it immediately convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Ministers all advocate sending troops to attack and suppress immediately. But when Xuan Di asked who could lead the army, he was silent and no one dared to speak.
At this time, the old general Zhao Chongguo volunteered to visit the Northwest Border Region. Xuan Di was very happy and said to him, "According to your estimation, how strong the Qiang people are and how many troops, weapons and food you need, just ask."
Zhao Chongguo said: "It is not clear what the situation is at present, so it is not convenient to estimate, let alone make any demands. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I asked to have a look in person. When I get there, I will find out the situation, then draw up a general plan and report to you in detail. "
Zhao Chongguo came to Jincheng County, northwest Gansu Province, and made a field investigation and reconnaissance on the Qiang area. From the prisoner's mouth, he inquired about the relationship between the leaders of Qiang ministries and so on, and made a garrison plan. The policy of advocating the division and disintegration of Qiang people and striving for reconciliation rather than cracking down on repression is called "the policy of all points, victory and border protection"
After the implementation of this scheme, the effect is really good, that is, it saves the expenses of the court, avoids the bloody conflict of soldiers, and immediately quells the tension between Han and Qiang, killing two birds with one stone.
