C1248 Benefit and Power at the Same Time

2Yang Xuan was very familiar with interrogating prisoners.

Intelligence was very important on the battlefield, and capturing prisoners was also a very important source of information.

However, not every captive was that cooperative. There were often some who would not open their mouths.

Therefore, how to make the other party speak quickly and say the information that he wanted to hear was definitely a technical task.

Yang Xuan was very familiar with this aspect. He knew very well that many people were not afraid of death, and they were especially unyielding. Torturing them or killing them directly would not be of much use.

The most important thing to make the captive speak was to attack the heart.

No matter how tough the captive was, there were always some weaknesses in the genes of human nature in his bones.

If Yang Xuan directly threatened these people and killed them without saying anything, these people might choose to die generously.

However, Yang Xuan used another method. He looked relaxed and had a smile on his face, but his actions were very decisive and ruthless. There was a huge contrast between the two, which shocked the other party.

After he intimidated the other party, he could proceed to the next step.

After killing two people in a row, Yang Xuan took advantage of the other party's frightened mood and hurriedly threw out bait, indicating that there would be one person among them who could survive.

This way, the nature of the situation would be different.

These people were all ruthless people. If he said that he wanted to kill them all, perhaps they would bite the bullet and stay silent.

However, Yang Xuan had given them a chance to live, which changed their psychological defense.

There was a saying, Two peaches kill three men.

It talked about how in ancient times, there were three ministers in a country who had power over the country, which posed a huge threat to the imperial power.

However, because these three people were too large, the king of that country could not do anything to them. He could only watch as they acted recklessly.

Just as the king was unable to sleep or eat, and he was at his wits' end, one of the princesses of the king thought of a plan.

The princess found two large and bright peaches and made the king announce to the public that these two peaches were the peaches of heaven. After eating them, one could live forever.

As the ancient people were more superstitious, and these words were spoken by the king himself, everyone believed it without a doubt. They all thought that the king really obtained two immortal peaches that could live forever after eating them.

When the three officials heard about this, they immediately coveted the two immortal peaches.

No matter how much money they had, no matter how high their status, no matter how much power they had, they could not escape the natural laws of life, death, and death.

Thus, in ancient times, many emperors and ministers tried everything to pursue immortality, so the temptation of these two immortal peaches was absolutely fatal to the three ministers.

Just as they were plotting how to get the two peaches, the king suddenly called the three of them together. They expressed that the three of them had worked hard and had done their best for the country, and they expressed their gratitude to them. The king decided to give the two peaches to the three of them last time.

Because these were peaches, they definitely could not be perfunctory. The king said that he would set a lucky day for them, and a month later, he would open the altar and offer them to the heavens to hold a peach bestowment ceremony for the three of them.

To the three ministers, this was definitely a joyous occasion that was so happy that it almost flew to the sky!

Thinking about how they would be able to live forever and enjoy power and wealth, they were incomparably excited.

But very quickly, they discovered a very important problem.

There were only two immortal peaches in total, but there were three of them. This meant that one of them would lose the chance to live forever.

Thus, the three of them began to worry if the person who lost this opportunity was them.

The best way to ensure that they would not lose this opportunity was to make them change from three to two!

Thus, they began to suspect each other, testing each other, and in the end, it turned into a very intense competition between the two of them.

In the end, in this fight, not only did the three ministers not gain any advantage, they even lost their lives.

Just like that, the king eliminated the three ministers effortlessly.

This was the story of the Three Peach Killers.

This story fully reflected the selfishness and greed in human genes.

Among these few people, there was a chance to continue living, which meant that only one of them could survive.

At this time, Yang Xuan had already started counting down. "Ten, nine..."

"I know the way, I'm willing to lead the way!"

"I know it too, I'm very familiar with that path!"

Yang Xuan had just counted to two, and these people were already scrambling to open their mouths.

Yang Xuan smiled faintly, his eyes wandering around the three people's faces. He said in a playful tone, "Since all of you have spoken, I will give you one more chance."

"There is still only one chance to live. This time, it will be a test to see who is familiar with the path and who is the best at leading the way."

Therefore, under Yang Xuan's control, these few prisoners who were familiar with the local terrain used all of their skills to lead the way.

It was actually not difficult to lead the way, as long as they knew the way.

And they had grown up here, so they were very familiar with these roads.

So it was impossible to compete in this aspect.

Therefore, they started to think of all kinds of ways to please Yang Xuan, who was now completely in control of the situation, and tried to use this method to win Yang Xuan's favor, so that they could give this precious quota to him.

Without needing Yang Xuan to say anything, they took the initiative to tell them everything they knew, including the distribution of the forces here, the specific situation of the various forces, and some important things that had happened recently.

Regarding the destination of this trip, the Ghost Zaar Tribe, these people were trying their best to say as much as possible about the situation of the Ghost Zaar Tribe.

Even the strange news of a small soldier of the Ghost Zaar Tribe raising a yak with three legs giving birth to a three-legged calf was reported to Yang Xuan in detail.

Yang Xuan leisurely rode on a tall horse, chewing the best beef jerky in his mouth and drinking the purest green barley wine.

The few people beside him led the way and talked about the local situation without stopping.

"The Guiza tribe is in front of us."

After travelling for about two and a half hours, one of them pointed to the front and said.

Yang Xuan looked up and saw a bonfire not far away. There were some caves near the bonfire.

A captive introduced, "It's not convenient to build houses here, so we all live in caves, including the Church of Red Shirt. It's not only a mine, but it's also very solid and hidden."

"The biggest cave in the middle is the cave of the tribe leader."

Yang Xuan nodded, "Yes, I understand."

The few captives rubbed the corners of their clothes. Seeing that Yang Xuan did not continue, they asked tentatively, "The road has been brought. Then we... will leave first..."
