Chapter 304 Silencing
After capturing the prisoners and devising a plan, Xu Zuyin had already sent an envoy to contact the Quanrong king for negotiations.
Since there were nearly two thousand Quanrong warriors and a few nobles, the Quanrong immediately split into several factions and started arguing fiercely.
Some people believe that since they have been captured, they should commit suicide to atone for their sins and preserve their dignity.
They don't understand the saying "better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life," but they know what a warrior is and what a coward is.
In Quanrong, cowards are considered inferior trash, and even if they are redeemed, they are not respected.
It would be better to pretend that they did not receive the document from the Great Jin and let the Quanrong people believe that the two thousand warriors had died in battle, thus saving face and honor for their families.
This combination of soft and hard tactics, seemingly for the benefit of those people, actually only reveals that among the captives are their mortal enemies.
The story of those whose relatives were captured is a different one.
Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Does losing once mean one doesn't deserve to live?
The captured warriors were all loyal subjects who fought for the Khan.
If they are stingy with money and unwilling to redeem them, who will be willing to serve the Khan again?
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that their children and relatives were among the prisoners.
How could they be willing to let their hard-earned sons be sacrificed like this?
Some people are indifferent to the matter, thinking the price is reasonable and then demanding an exorbitant price to redeem the person, or simply not want the person at all.
The old Khan was also troubled by the noise and didn't know what to do.
If we don't redeem them, we're afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.
But if he were redeemed, the soldiers might take chances.
The soldiers who were captured would rather die than surrender, and if they were captured, they could be ransomed...
Damn it!
How could that bastard Xu Zuyin come up with such a despicable idea? Didn't they just kill the warriors they captured before?
How did he become a villain? Now he's in a difficult situation.
The old Khan of the Quanrong, who led the tribes of the grasslands, was not stupid. He pretended to agree to peace talks while arguing about the amount of ransom.
Xu Zuyin's side is playing the time difference, and they are also stalling.
On the very day the Khan agreed to redeem the people, he sent his trusted henchmen to secretly infiltrate Beirong City and carry out a dirty trick.
The two neighboring families had been fighting each other for so many years that each had planted spies in the other's territory.
The old Khan was planning to feign ransom to lower people's guard while secretly having his men poison the captured people and kill them.
Even if it's just killing a few dozen members of high-status families.
Then they can use this pretext to launch a major attack and ignore any conditions imposed by the Great Jin.
An army driven by desperation is bound to win; when he seeks revenge for his brothers and nephews, his soldiers will surely fight even more fiercely.
It can also prevent people
They harbored a侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking), believing that being captured meant they wouldn't have to die.
Unfortunately, the Quanrong king only thought about avoiding his captured tribesmen and forgot about his in-laws.
One of the men on a mission told his wife about the mission he was about to undertake before he left.
Coincidentally, the woman's only brother was among the captured people.
Things are made secret, and words are leaked.
Although this woman had no power and could not disobey the Khan's orders, she secretly passed on the matter to several noble families.
In particular, the news that the maternal families of the third and fourth princes had direct descendants among the captives quickly spread and aroused suspicion among the court officials.
The old Khan was in a real bind, but fortunately, Xu Yin was on high alert and those people never returned, failing to succeed.
The old emperor used this opportunity to clear himself of suspicion, but he never dared to make any further moves.
The Jin dynasty wasn't really after money, so the price wasn't high, and now the Quanrong king has accepted it.
They arranged for someone to bring the ransom and meet at a pre-arranged location to exchange the prisoners.
This delay gave Bao Beibei all the time to realize her ideas.
In addition to the family that was initially infected, there were more than 20 other death row inmates who had also been infected in the heavily guarded courtyard.
The sources of infection were incredibly abundant. After agreeing on a time, the prisoners enjoyed a meal of rice soup infused with sleeping potion.
Bao Beibei is just too mean.
After all the prisoners were knocked down, soldiers who had smallpox were made to smear pus and blood from their noses one by one.
They even had the twenty-odd infected death row inmates who were still able to move hug each of the soldiers and breathe into their mouths.
These death row inmates have long been psychologically disturbed, and with the mentality that they won't let others have an easy time even if they are about to die, they go to great lengths to cause trouble.
There's not enough breathing; some people even spit and urinate into other people's mouths.
One of them even bit someone and almost woke them up.
Once the matter was settled, these people were naturally dealt with one by one, and their bodies were set on fire. Xu Zuyin looked at Bao Beibei with a complex and terrified expression.
Bao Beibei didn't care at all.
I've seen everything in the apocalypse.
Eating the corpses of one's own relatives is child's play.
Some people, fearing that the flesh would rot quickly after a person dies, would tie up their loved ones and eat them piece by piece.
She had long since become a rational and calm madwoman.
If nothing's wrong, that's fine. But when there's a need, I always prioritize efficiency over everything else.
Bao Beibei neither deliberately hid these things from Liu Xu nor took the initiative to let him know.
However, Xu Zuyin and his friend had a falling out and deliberately moved the willow catkins away.
It's a pity that I'm not afraid of bad things happening, but I'm afraid of a lack of good people.
Bao Beibei's special regard for willow catkins naturally aroused the jealousy of many people.
The regent's adopted sister is not only a great beauty but also highly skilled in martial arts. Why is Wang Huan so lucky to be favored?
That kid had been at the border for less than two years when he became a squad leader and was given special attention by General Xu, rising through the ranks.
Although we don't know who this person is, the fact that he came from the capital and is acquainted with the Marquis of Zhenguo proves that he is someone who got in through connections.
Now he's climbed to a higher social position, so why does he get all the good things?
Although Xu Zuyin used his trusted confidants to do these things, he forgot that his confidants also had their own selfish motives.
They wouldn't publicize this, but they deliberately revealed it to Liu Xu, letting him know that the woman he had finally managed to hook up with was a femme fatale.
Despite Liu Xu's hesitant and roundabout questioning about the veracity of the rumors, Bao Beibei's smile remained unchanged.
They admitted it openly and honestly.
And she told Liu Xu that she had never been a kind-hearted person.
When she kills, she only considers whether it's necessary or not, never caring whether the victim is innocent.
Although she was very happy with Liu Xu these days, Bao Beibei has never been someone who values love too much.
So what if we break up? At worst, I'll be sad for a couple of days and cry a bit, but then I'll still go on with my life.
Even if they were married, she would still have the same attitude.
You can make it work, but you can't divorce; a man can change his nature, but he can't change it!
Liu Xu was surprised that Bao Beibei didn't care at all what he thought.
Bao Beibei didn't expect that Liu Xu's moral values weren't that strong.
When Liu Xu was vaccinating everyone, she praised Bao Beibei for being beautiful and kind-hearted. Bao Beibei thought that Liu Xu would not be able to stand her ruthlessness.
It turned out she was overthinking it; her boyfriend accepted it well.
They only begged Bao Beibei to spare their lives, considering that those involved were all trusted confidants of General Xu and men of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Bao Beibei suddenly smiled.
To be fair, Liu Xu's understanding of her was quite clear.
If she herself could use such an inhumane tactic without hesitation and kill prisoners to keep it a secret, then the more than two hundred soldiers who were directly involved would naturally also be among those she killed.
Okay, she's definitely her boyfriend's comrade-in-arms.
He pleaded for leniency, so I figured I could make an exception.
The main reason is that General Xu might not be willing to let his loyal soldiers be silenced.
Rather than arguing with the commander, it's better for both sides to compromise.
General Xu was even more afraid of the news getting out than she was, and believed that the old man would handle the aftermath himself.
