You are a king/queen, and a messenger arrives from an enemy king that delivers some unpleasant news that your lands are being taken over. Do you kill the messenger or let him/her live?

Previewing your message before you post is for suckers.

Give him what he wants then take what you want. Nobody is more vulnerable than in their moment of victory when you know whatever you do he will never let you go

All you would need to do is send the dead body in a cart or something.

No. Why would I? They're just messangers. Might lock them up or something, but sure as heck wouldn't kill them. It's like getting mad at the phone. It's not the phones fault that the person on the other end is an ass.

Why are you sending a messenger? Send an assassin.

Or you could go with the Mongol strategy. Infect the messenger with bubonic plague and then send him back so they all die.

Oh, you mean like what America did to those Japanese seventy or so years ago, except they weren't using them as ransom to stop the attacks.

That would be a terrible idea, especially since you're the defender. Even if you win you now have plagued bodies everywhere and have to live in that place.

First, I would loudly tell him the name of my country and then kick him down a pit.
After that I would create a team of exactly 25 dozen of soldiers(with myself as the leader of course) and fight against an invading army.
