The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters
Chapter 1,248 A combination of kindness and power
When it comes to interrogating prisoners, Yang Xuan is definitely very experienced.
Intelligence is crucial on the battlefield, and capturing prisoners is a very important source of intelligence.
But not every prisoner is so cooperative, and we often encounter some who refuse to speak.
So how to get the other party to speak quickly and tell the information you want to hear is definitely a technical job.
Yang Xuan is very proficient in this area. He understands very well that there are many people who are not afraid of life and death and are very courageous. Torture or killing them directly will not have much effect.
The most important core essence of getting a prisoner to talk is to attack the heart.
No matter how tough a prisoner is, there are always some weaknesses in human genes deep down.
At this time, if Yang Xuan directly threatened these people and killed them if they did not speak, these people might choose to die generously.
But Yang Xuan took another approach. His demeanor was relaxed and his expression was smiling, but his actions were very decisive and ruthless. There was a huge contrast between the two, which first caused a psychological shock to the other party.
After the opponent is shocked, you can proceed to the next step.
After killing two people in a row, Yang Xuan took advantage of the other party's panic and quickly threw out a bait, saying that one of them would survive.
In this way, the properties will be different.
These people are ruthless people. If you directly tell them that you want to kill them, they may bite the bullet and die without speaking.
But Yang Xuan left them a glimmer of hope, which immediately changed their psychological defenses.
There is an idiom, two peaches kill three scholars.
It is said that in ancient times, there were three ministers of a country who had overwhelming power and posed a great threat to the imperial power.
But because these three people are too big for you, the king of that country can't do anything to them and can only watch them do whatever they want.
Just when the king was having trouble sleeping and eating over this matter, but had no idea what to do, one of the king's princesses came up with a plan.
The princess found two large and bright-colored peaches, and asked the king to declare to the public that these two peaches were fairy peaches from the sky, and those who ate them would be immortal.
Since people in ancient times were quite superstitious, and this was said by the king himself, everyone believed in it and believed that the king really got two peaches that would make him immortal if he ate them.
After the three ministers learned about this, they immediately coveted the two fairy peaches.
No matter how much money they have, how high their status, or how powerful they are, they cannot escape the natural law of birth, old age, illness, and death.
Therefore, in ancient times, many emperors and generals tried their best to pursue immortality, so the temptation of these two fairy peaches to the three ministers was absolutely fatal.
Just as they were plotting how to get the two fairy peaches, the king suddenly called the three of them together and said that the three of them had worked hard and dedicated themselves to the country. In order to express his gratitude to them, the king decided to put the two fairy peaches on the table.
Give them three at a time.
Because this was a fairy peach, we definitely couldn't do it casually. The king decided to set an auspicious day in the zodiac. One month later, he would open an altar to worship heaven and hold a peach-giving ceremony to the three of them.
For those three ministers, this was definitely a great event that made them so happy that they almost flew into the sky!
They were extremely excited thinking that they would be able to live forever and enjoy power, glory and wealth forever.
But soon they discovered a very important problem.
There are only two fairy peaches in total, but there are three of them, which means that one of them will lose the chance of immortality.
The three people then began to worry that they would be the one who lost this opportunity.
And the best way to ensure that you will not lose this opportunity is to let them change from three people to two!
So they began to suspect each other and test each other, which eventually turned into a very fierce open and covert fight.
As a result, in this fight, not only did no one of the three ministers take advantage, but they also lost their lives in the fight.
The king wiped out these three ministers so effortlessly.
This is the allusion of three peaches killing two men.
This allusion fully reflects the selfishness and greed in human genes.
Having one chance to survive among several people means that only one of them can survive.
At this time Yang Xuan had already started counting down: "Ten, nine..."
"I know the way and I am willing to lead the way!"
"I also know, I know that road very well!"
Yang Xuangang counted two numbers, and these people rushed to speak.
Yang Xuan smiled faintly, and his eyes wandered around the faces of the three of them, playing with the taste, "Since you have all spoken together, I will give you another chance."
"There is still only one place to survive. This time it is a test that which of you is familiar with the road, and whoever leads the way best will be allowed to survive."
Therefore, under Yang Xuan's operation, these prisoners who were already familiar with the local terrain tried their best to lead the way.
There is actually no difficulty in leading the way, as long as you know the way.
They grew up here and are very familiar with these roads.
So it is impossible to compete in this regard.
So they began to think of various ways to please Yang Xuan, who was now completely in control, trying to use this method to win Yang Xuan's favor and give them this precious spot.
Without Yang Xuan having to say anything, they took the initiative to tell everything they knew, including the distribution of forces here, the specific situation of each force, and some important events that have happened recently.
Regarding the Guizha Tribe, the destination of this trip, these people tried their best to tell as much information as possible about the Guizha Tribe.
Even the strange and unusual incident of a yak raised by a neighbor of a soldier in the Guizha tribe giving birth to a three-legged calf was reported to Yang Xuan in detail.
Yang Xuan was riding a tall horse leisurely, chewing the best beef jerky and drinking the purest highland barley wine.
Several people nearby were leading horses, paving the way, and talking non-stop about local conditions.
"Ahead is the Guizha tribe."
After traveling for about two and a half hours, one of them pointed forward and said.
Yang Xuan looked up and saw that there was indeed a bonfire not far away, and there were some caves near the bonfire.
One prisoner said, "It is not convenient to build houses here, so we all live in caves, including the Red Order. Not only is there a mine, but it is also very strong and secretive."
"The largest cave in the middle is the cave of the tribal leader."
Yang Xuan nodded, "Yes, I understand."
The prisoners rubbed their clothes and saw that Yang Xuan was silent, so they asked tentatively, "The road has been reached, then let's... let's go first..."
