Previously, Marquis Wuan Bai Yian presented himself as someone who would live and die with his soldiers, motivating their spirits with slogans like "stay alive" and "return home," which successfully gathered a large number of loyal followers willing to serve him to the death.
But now, as all these lies were punctured, the many warriors who had their blood stirred and developed a readiness to die for the cause suddenly realized how ridiculous their so-called self-sacrifice had been.
What they believed about the Marquis Wuan stooping down from a high position to interact with them as equals, even to live and die together, was all a deception.
Those emperors, high officials, and nobles had abandoned them early on, fleeing the camp and leaving this deadly place behind.
It was only they, the low-level fools, who thought that the aristocratic families and nobles of the imperial family would live and die with them, fighting for a way to return home.
