The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter with this Great Yan Dynasty?"

what happened?

Li Er's expression was stern.

"It's very simple. Countless years have passed since Li Longji died."

“If it takes this long and An Lushan still hasn’t been able to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and establish his own dynasty, then he’s not worthy of rebelling.”

Li Er knew very well that the three regional military governors meant he controlled a large number of troops.

With ample military strength, and Li Longji dying amidst the challenges, who in the Li Tang Dynasty could stand up to stop him?

"So we're going to use three thousand Xuanjia warriors to fight against the entire dynasty?"

Yuchi Jingde was completely stunned.

A mere three thousand people are so insignificant in the face of the entire dynasty.

Larger bandit strongholds might even have more than that number of people.

He was confident that he could defeat the rebels with three thousand Xuanjia soldiers.

To fight against a dynasty.

A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

However, Li Er's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

"Jingde, could it be that your life in Chang'an has been too comfortable these past years, making you forget the blood and fire on the battlefield of yesteryear?"

"So what if it's the Great Yan Dynasty?"

"I want him to know that as long as I am here, this Tang Dynasty will always be my Tang Dynasty!"

Yuchi Gong: "..."

"So, Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?"

Well, what a roughneck!

Li Er sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead.

If he had known the immortal would pose such a difficult question, he would have brought Li Jing with him.

At least Li Jing was capable of leading an army on his own and could quickly build up a formidable force, rather than relying solely on the Xuanjia Army.

These three thousand Xuanjia soldiers were his trump card, and also the only card he could use to defeat An Lushan in this challenge!

An Lushan must have been aware of this as well.

If even the slightest trace is leaked, it will surely attract a large army to encircle and annihilate them.

The loss of the three thousand Xuanjia soldiers means that the challenge has been largely lost!

Therefore, the most urgent task is...

"Jingde, go and pretend to be a bandit who robs the rich to help the poor. Under the banner of acting on behalf of Heaven, try to recruit as many people as possible in the nearby countryside and towns."

Li Er thought for a moment and said.

Although he had never taken bandits seriously, this was the best option under the current circumstances.

In addition to replenishing manpower and disguising identities, they can also gather as much intelligence as possible about the outside world.

In this challenge, he should still have people he can trust, and people willing to support the Tang Dynasty.

What Li Er had to do was to find those people before An Lushan discovered him!

"Huh? Your Majesty, I'll accept being sent to fight the enemy, but to play the role of a bandit, this..."

Yuchi Gong looked troubled.

He was, after all, a Duke of the State!

What a shame!

"Jingde, are you going to disobey the imperial decree?"

Li Er's gaze followed.

Yuchi Gong shook his head repeatedly.

"Your subject is willing to go!"

"In addition, we should inquire about which prefectures and counties still follow the customs of our Great Tang Dynasty."

"Find out which military governors have objections to the Great Yan court."

After giving these instructions, Yuchi Gong left.

He left alone, without taking a single person with him.

He knew that the three thousand Xuanjia soldiers could not be moved.

He can only rely on himself!

Li Er watched his retreating figure silently for a long time without saying a word.

He knew very well that this was tantamount to putting Yuchi Gong in the public eye.

As long as An Lushan isn't stupid, it shouldn't be long before he finds out Yuchi Gong's whereabouts and identity.

"Is this a piece that has been sacrificed?"

"In my opinion, he should have taken Li Jing with him."

Outside the canopy, Old Zhu couldn't help but say.

Whether it's strategic military planning or quick thinking, Li Jing is far superior.

Unfortunately, we are already in the midst of this challenge, and it's too late for regrets.

"There's nothing we can do. Nobody expected the immortals to create such a challenge, which actually pushed back time by ten years!"

That's a full ten years!

The Tang Dynasty collapsed, the Great Yan Dynasty was established, and its influence on the people has been subtle and lasting for so long!

God knows how difficult it will be to reverse all of this!

"Fortunately, I wasn't chosen. If I were in such a predicament, I'm afraid..."

A certain emperor of the Zhao family, a descendant of the emperors, expressed his relief.

Zhao Kuangyin: "..."

"You're not ashamed, but I am! Shut up!"

Although he also admitted that this challenge was more difficult than the previous ones.

Perhaps Li Longji's defeat was too swift, which angered the immortals and caused the difficulty of the next challenge to increase dramatically!

"Those fifty years of life are not so easy to obtain."

Ying Zheng also looked thoughtfully at the sky.

He wondered if the sudden increase in difficulty was only in this one challenge, or if all future challenges would be like this.

If it's the latter, then that would be quite tricky.

After all, the difficulty of Li Er's challenge this time was so great that even he himself was a bit overwhelmed.

"Isn't this challenge quite simple for Li Er?"

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you all from dynasties established through rebellions?"

Liu Bang was somewhat puzzled as to why these people's words sounded so strange.

Is everything happening in the sky now any different from what their founding emperors did when they established their dynasties?

Although the Great Yan Dynasty was newly established, the fact that it shared power with powerful families meant that the common people at the bottom of society would be severely exploited and suffer greatly.

In this situation, as long as someone is willing to be the first to step forward, there is definitely a chance to get a large following!

Not to mention, this person is Li Er!

Ying Zheng, Zhao Kuangyin, and others: "?"

Is that right?

“Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. Most dynasties in this world were not established through popular uprisings, but through the accumulation of resources. There are not many like us.”

Old Zhu said helplessly.

To establish a great dynasty by relying on the strength of the people, the right timing, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable!

"But this time, we have the right timing, the right place, and the right people."

"I don't understand why you keep saying it's difficult."

"In my opinion, if Li Er understands this, he should be able to complete this challenge very soon."

The time set by the immortal was ten years after the Tang Dynasty was overthrown, not at the very beginning.

The downside is that the Great Yan Dynasty has already deeply penetrated people's hearts.

But it also has its advantages.

The flaws of sharing power with powerful families were too great, and the common people had long been suffering under the rule of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, they would naturally miss the Tang Dynasty of yesteryear!

In particular, the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of its prosperous Kaiyuan era!

This is the opportune moment!

The geographical advantage goes without saying; this was land that Li Er had once conquered.

He knew everything about the Tang Dynasty better than anyone else!

This is due to the advantageous location!

As for people.

He only needs to reveal his identity as Emperor Taizong. Although this will attract An Lushan's encirclement and suppression, it will also gain the support of countless people and soldiers!

Although both have their advantages and disadvantages, in the end, the right timing, the right place, and the right people are all there!

"I feel like you're just making excuses, but there seems to be some truth to it."

Old Zhu was somewhat conflicted.

It's easier said than done; it's not as difficult as climbing to the sky, but it's not insurmountable either.

"Just you wait and see. If he is truly a clever man, it won't be long before he can break this deadlock!"
