Chapter 1315

"Then how does the Commander think we should proceed?"

Li Xin looked at Han Xin; his role was more of a guide.

He would not give any actual answers.

He just wanted to temper Han Xin and let his thinking become completely independent.

An outstanding general always has their own unique set of methods.

Their way of thinking is also different from others.

Only then can they lead soldiers to victory in every battle.

This is the process every outstanding general goes through.

However, Han Xin also knew that Li Xin and Zhao Tuo's actions were meant to assist him.

Therefore, he accepted it humbly without a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Wait and see, and see how long the other side can hold out."

"Sit and wait for them to come and surrender or threaten us."

"After that, we will go along with their wishes and give them some food."

"But we cannot appear indifferent."

"We must show the anger of being threatened and the stance of wanting to perish together."

"We must also let them know that if they dare to push us too far, the consequences will be severe."

"We will create the illusion that we don't care and will let them die along with the hostage."

"This is the bottom line; we cannot let them think the hostage is very important."

"Otherwise, they might make exorbitant demands after their threat succeeds."

Han Xin was willing to accept their threats; after all, he wanted to use their strategy against them.

But he was not willing to accept endless demands from Ren Xiao and his men.

"That is excellent."

Li Xin nodded; since they were going to use their strategy against them, they couldn't show that the hostage was too important.

They had to create an illusion that while the hostage was important, if it exceeded their bottom line,

they would disregard the hostage's life or death.

Only this illusion could deter them.

Otherwise, Ren Xiao and his men might use this to continue demanding supplies.

Then they would become very passive.

This was not the result they wanted to see.

They only wanted the other side to clear the path.

Once the road here was cleared, these people would lose their value.

As for how to deal with them, that would be discussed later.

The three of them discussed some more detailed issues.

Until a long time had passed.

Many soldiers were already full and resting.

They would only choose to follow when Ren Xiao and his men set off.

"This time is a bit long."

"Previously, they would set off after resting for one hour each time."

"Later, this rest time gradually increased to two hours."

"Now that two hours have passed, why haven't they set off yet?"

The soldiers were full and in high spirits.
