In 1454, Xing Yu visited Liaodong and found that more than 50 officers in Shenyang had stolen the materials stored by the government. Xing Yu considered that Shenyang was attacked on three sides. If these officers who make mistakes are severely punished, once the enemy invades, no one will lead the troops to defend the city. He adopted a flexible strategy. He only deposed the two officers at the head and punished the rest of them for guarding the city. If the city was well guarded, the meritorious ones could atone for their sins and be rewarded. Before long, the enemy invaded Shenyang as expected. These more than 50 lenient officers killed the enemy bravely and made contributions to protecting the city, making Shenyang a dangerous city.
