However, to truly have Liu Hong issue the order to kill these nearly twenty thousand soldiers himself, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
The Emperor said this matter was top secret and not to be disclosed, but how could such a big commotion really go unnoticed?
This time, killing the disarmed rebel army was different from Bai Qingyan burning and killing the Xiliang captives in Wengcheng. Bai Qingyan did that to protect the Jin Kingdom's territory, a last resort in defeating the many with the few.
But for Liu Hong, as soon as he waved his hand, a myriad of arrows would rain down...killing their own Jin Kingdom soldiers.
In future historical records, Liu Hong's name would probably be vilified for eternity.
