Chapter 1232: Negotiation (2)
Little Bear blinked and then remembered something that he had neglected.
Whether it was Qi Haoran or Mu Yangling, when they were educating their children, they had instilled the idea of "grabbing every opportunity to live". Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling had even taught Little Bear how to lower the enemy’s guard and various escape skills after being captured.
Knowing that her sons were hot-tempered, Mu Yangling even gathered her sons together to train them. She told them in no uncertain terms that it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as they were alive, anything was possible.
Therefore, Little Bear never felt that there was anything wrong with Ogedei wanting to stay alive. After all, he could only take revenge if he was still alive.
However, after Little Treasure said that, Little Bear remembered something the generals has taught him after he entered the army.
While soldiers could live an ignoble life, once a lieutenant or above was captured, they would commit suicide where possible if they could not hide their identity.
Especially for people like the first general and marshal, suicide was the best ending.
Little Bear pondered with a frown. He only understood this after putting himself in Ogedei’s shoes.
Encouraging important figures to commit suicide was firstly to keep confidential matters confidential. After all, such people knew a lot of secrets. Secondly, it was to prevent the enemy from using the captives as a threat. Take Ogedei for example. If they brought Ogedei to the border of the two countries to threaten the Yuan soldiers to retreat, should they retreat or not?
Therefore, for the sake of the country, it was best for such people to commit suicide.
