Liu Wei's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Bao Xin's heart.
Bao Xin's heart trembled, and he immediately bowed deeply to Liu Wei: "Thank you for sparing my life, Your Highness. I will remember Your Highness's words."
Since Liu Wei said such a thing, he can definitely do it.
Bao Xin secretly made up his mind that he would not dare to act rashly again.
The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social interactions.
Win people over with virtue!
Liu Wei waved for Bao Xin to leave on his own.
"My lord, what should we do with the three hundred captured soldiers?" Wang Fangyi asked again.
"Let them bury the bodies, clean up the battlefield, and then release them!" Liu Wei said after thinking for a moment.
"Release them? That's too easy on them!"
“Of course it’s not that simple to release them! After they’ve buried the bodies, let them dig their own pits, then jump in themselves and declare that you’re going to bury them alive.” Liu Wei smiled slightly.
"My lord, isn't this just like General Xue, burying them alive? How can this be considered letting them go?"
Wang Fangyi asked curiously.
“They will be terrified when they see that they are going to be buried alive. You can then announce that they can go if they agree to go back and spread rumors that I am cruel and that I want to kill them.”
"My lord, this...this..."
Wang Fangyi was completely dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this? Releasing the person back to speak ill of him? "If we had tricked and killed him, how are they still alive? Does anyone believe that?"
"Nobody believes it? That's right! I want He Jin and Yuan Shao to be completely baffled!"
Liu Wei smiled faintly.
Once these three hundred men return, He Jin and Yuan Shao will surely ask them how they got back.
If they were telling the truth, He Jin certainly wouldn't believe them; there's no such thing as digging a pit to bury people alive and then releasing them.
But that's just how it is.
The soldiers had already harbored resentment from the continuous march, and now that He Jin and Yuan Shao had fled first, leaving the rest of them behind.
If He Jin were to question the soldiers' truthful answers, it would only fuel their resentment.
This contrast highlights Liu Wei's benevolence and righteousness!
In the future, these soldiers will spread the news of today's events among the troops in the capital, and Liu Wei will win the hearts of the army.
Unless He Jin kills all three hundred of them!
This could be considered a small, overt scheme!
"After a long day of fighting, let's get some rest tonight and cross the river tomorrow!"
"Let's go to Youzhou!"
