C1296 Bending Others with Virtue

The only reason Yang Xuan was able to roam freely in this dangerous Dark World was because of his incredible combat strength. It was also because of his infectious ability in mobilizing people before the war.

This had happened before.

During a conquest, Yang Xuan personally led his troops to defeat the enemy forces in one fell swoop and captured many enemies who surrendered.

Yang Xuan specifically set a rule for the prisoners. For the prisoners who surrendered and had their weapons confiscated, except for some more important or special people, the rest would be released on the spot unconditionally.

Of course, each prisoner only had one chance to be released unconditionally. If they dared to continue being enemies with him, they would have to send a one-way trip ticket to the Underworld the second time they were captured.

Yang Xuan did not have the habit of taking in prisoners. In his eyes, these prisoners who had raised their hands to surrender were a bunch of cowards. He did not want to put these cowards into his team.

However, the situation at that time was rather special. Yang Xuan led his troops to overturn the war. The soldiers' losses were extremely severe, and they were unable to fill in the vacancies for a period of time.

Helpless, he could only make an exception and take in these captives who raised their hands to surrender.

Of course, Yang Xuan would not hold much hope for these prisoners. Most of them were taken in as cannon fodder.

However, what happened later shocked Yang Xuan to the point that his jaw dropped.

These cowards who would immediately raise their hands and surrender when there was a slight movement in the wind. When they arrived at Yang Xuan's side, it was as if they had changed into a completely different person. Every one of them was incomparably brave when they entered the battlefield. They would charge at any place where the battle was the most intense.

The ones who were puzzled by this unique phenomenon were not only Yang Xuan, but also several of Yang Xuan's old opponents.

They all felt that it was very strange. Some of the captive soldiers were their people before, and they were made up after their defeat.

When those captives were under their control, they were all cowardly old foxes.

Once they entered the battlefield, they would never think about how to defeat their opponents. Instead, they would think about how to save their lives while taking advantage of the chaos and avoid being discovered by the supervising team.

This method was also very simple. When they had the advantage, they would shout and charge forward. Once they were at a disadvantage, they would do all kinds of things. They would either pretend to be injured or pretend to be dead.

When the battle was completely hopeless, they would immediately jump up and raise their hands to surrender to save their lives.

But why did these people who were at the same level as Yang Xuan become like a completely different person when they came to Yang Xuan's side?

Later on, they found out the truth through a captive soldier who had been promoted to Yang Xuan's backbone because of his outstanding military exploits.

That person had said the exact same words at that time. "After I was taken in by that group, I was thinking about how to save my life at the beginning. I even thought of what posture I should use to pretend to be dead."

"But after a pre-war mobilization meeting, I suddenly changed. There was only dream and hatred in my head. I felt like my blood was boiling."

"After a battle, I had more than ten wounds on my body. I had to walk around the gates of hell several times."

"But the strange thing was that I didn't feel scared at all. I couldn't wait to participate in the second battle."

"Our leader is so powerful. As long as he personally organized the pre-war mobilization meeting, even if a group of rabbits heard it, they would have to raise their ears and scream as they rushed forward to fight the tiger."

These words vividly showed how powerful Yang Xuan's mobilization before the battle was.

Later on, when some other powers knew about this matter, they also paid attention to the mobilization before the war.

In order to better imitate them, they even spent a lot of money and effort to finally get a complete recording of Yang Xuan's mobilization before the war.

They recorded every word Yang Xuan said seriously. They memorized the back of a person, and then imitated Yang Xuan's movements and tone of speech. They even imitated the tone perfectly.

However, no matter how similar they imitated, there was no effect.

The same words, the same tone, and the same posture. It was totally different from what Yang Xuan said from other people's mouths.

Up until now, there were still many imitators who had yet to figure out what was going on here. They believed that the reason why there was no effect was because they had yet to imitate it properly.2

When Yang Xuan found out about this later on, he almost laughed internally on the spot.

No wonder these idiots were often abused by others. With just this bit of intelligence, they were still alive and kicking until now. They were already dead in their ancestral graves.

Regarding the mobilization meeting before the war, the content of the speech was indeed very important. It needed to be able to control everyone's emotions, and it also needed to be clear and logical. It also needed to be able to grasp the painful points of everyone.

However, that was not the most important thing, because speaking had to be done in two directions. The words had to be heard by someone in order to be effective.

And this depended on the charisma of the commander and how he handled the world.

After taking in the captives, Yang Xuan gave strict orders. Since they had already been taken in, they were his brothers.

No one could treat them differently, and no one was allowed to bully these prisoners. As long as anyone dared to offend them, regardless of status or status, they would be punished severely!

Not only that, under special circumstances, such as when there was a shortage of resources, they had to prioritize taking care of the captives.

This was also Yang Xuan's character. He looked down on these people who had surrendered, so he rarely took in these captives.

But since he had taken them in, he had to maximize their usefulness.

At first, many people did not understand Yang Xuan's way of doing things. They felt that these captives were his enemies, and many of them had even been stained with his own brother's blood.

Now that they had been recruited, not only were they not allowed to beat or scold, they had to be prioritized. How could there be such a rule in the world?

However, although they were complaining, they could only obey Yang Xuan's orders unconditionally. These complaints could only be held in their hearts.

But soon, they realized that Yang Xuan's move was really useful!

When those captives were just taken in, they were all very careful. They were ready to be bullied and scolded.

However, these captives soon discovered that not only were they not bullied, but they were also very friendly to them, as if they had completely forgotten that they were captives.

Because that battle was an expedition, the troops were very far away from the base camp, and the battles were very frequent, so it was very easy for there to be a shortage of resources.

However, these captives did not think so in the beginning. They only felt that the major forces were indeed different, and that they were capable.

After following them for such a long time, besides having three meals a day, almost every meal they had suffered a loss.

Until one time, a captive soldier inadvertently discovered that not everyone ate meat for every meal.

Other than these captured prisoners, the rest of them actually ate steamed buns and wild vegetable soup!
