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

It seemed to confirm Liu Bang's words.

After locking himself in the cabin for several days.

Before Yuchi Gong could send anyone to report, Li Er came out.

He's been thinking about a lot of things these past few days.

He pondered why the Qin Dynasty was overthrown and why his cousin's Sui Dynasty perished.

The Qin Dynasty suffered greatly because of its harsh laws and severe punishments, coupled with the massive conscription of laborers to build the Great Wall.

The Sui Dynasty was also dragged down by the campaigns against Goguryeo and the construction of the Grand Canal, among other costly and labor-intensive projects.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

He used to say that all the time.

But now he suddenly realized that he had never really taken those words to heart.

The water that could capsize the boat was right in front of him, so why didn't he think of it?

If the country is ruled by powerful families, the lives of ordinary people are destined to be miserable!

Although An Lushan did not impose large-scale corvée labor, powerful families would certainly try every means to squeeze the last drop of profit out of the people!

The current situation is very similar to the end of every dynasty in history.

An Lushan's move was absolutely a blunder!

I never imagined that Li Shimin would one day do such a thing.

It started with the lowest-ranking rebels.

Put yourself in danger!

"Go and ask Yuchi Gong how his progress is today, and whether he has gathered a hundred men."

Tell the people around you.

About half a day later, Yuchi Gong hurriedly followed the man over.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"I don't know if it's because my abilities are too outstanding, or if the people have long been dissatisfied with the government."

"I just randomly found a small tavern, secretly got to know some people there, and after showing off my skills, they actually hit it off with me!"

"And they themselves have quite a few brothers; right now, I have at least three to five hundred men on my mountain!"

This is the best news we've heard so far!

Was Yuchi Gong capable?

It's strong, but definitely not in this aspect.

Even he was able to raise an army of three to five hundred men in just a few days.

It is conceivable that the so-called Great Yan Dynasty is even more absurd than he had anticipated!

At least the common people have no sense of belonging to them whatsoever!

"If I give you another ten days, how many people can you recruit?"

Li Er then asked.

"At this rate, I am confident that I can increase this number tenfold within ten days!"

Ten times, which is three to five thousand people.

"not enough."

"Ah? How many people does Your Majesty want?"

Yuchi Gong was completely dumbfounded.

"Three hundred thousand!"

A thousand times!

Upon hearing this number, Yuchi Gong nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, if you want my life, Yuchi Jingde, just take it. Why bother with this fabricated charge?"

Just kidding!

Ten days, 300,000 troops?

Even at its peak, the Tang Dynasty might not have been able to muster so many soldiers!

"Jingde, how many soldiers do you think my name, Li Shimin, is worth?"

"Your Majesty's name is worth a million soldiers!"

Yuchi Gong did not hesitate.

The title of General Tian Ce alone is worth a million troops!

"Then, if I were to summon troops from all directions in my name, a force of 300,000, would you be confident?"

Li Er asked with a smile.

"Of course there is, but if you were to do that, Your Majesty would be in danger!"

"Once we're exposed to those rebels, their army will likely be pressing in soon!"

Now, nestled in this mountain valley, there is no natural defense to be found.

Even if the Xuanjia Army is the most elite, it is impossible for them to fight against countless enemies on this plain, which is easy to attack but difficult to defend!

"So there are still ten days left for you, Jingde, to prepare the army, right?"

Li Er laughed.

"In the past few days, I have suddenly realized something."

"In my eyes, he is nothing more than a petty man who relied on Li Longji's trust and incompetence, plus a little bit of good luck, to obtain such a position."

"Who am I?"

"Jingde, tell me, who am I?"

"Your Majesty is the Supreme General of Heavenly Strategy, the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, and all nations pay tribute to Your Majesty, honoring you as the Heavenly Khan!"

Heavenly Khan!

"I am the Heavenly Khan! Before me, An Lushan is the rebel, and he should be timid!"

"Since he dares to come and face me, why should I fear him?"

When Li Er first came into this world, there were many things he didn't understand.

Therefore, he chose to proceed with caution.

But now that he's figured it out, he no longer wants to hide.

He is the Supreme General of the Heavenly Strategy, Li Shimin!

He conquered the entire Tang Dynasty!

What's wrong with starting over and fighting again?

The one who should be feared is An Lushan!

"Your humble servant obeys the decree!"

After a brief moment of shock, Yuchi Gong knelt on one knee.

He got it!

"He understands!"

Outside the canopy, Liu Bang smiled and said.

"No matter whether it's the Great Yan Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, in front of Li Er, An Lushan will always be a rebel who can't hold his head up!"

"To share the world with powerful families is tantamount to pushing the common people to the opposite side!"

"Such a person can never truly rule the world. In the end, he's just temporarily holding onto the dynasty for Li Er."

Just like Xiang Yu back then.

He shared the empire with the feudal lords, and thus, under the resistance of the people, Xiang Yu, who had been invincible in every battle, was defeated.

"But doing this is too dangerous."

Old Zhu frowned.

This is tantamount to putting oneself in a dangerous situation where one could be surrounded and annihilated by a large army at any time!

In the short term, if his reputation makes it difficult to gather a large enough army or to resist the rebels, he will be unable to do so.

Or perhaps, in the hearts of the people, Li Shimin did not hold such a heavy weight.

Regardless of which possibility arises, it is tantamount to voluntarily handing one's head over to the enemy's guillotine!

"you forgot?"

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, two hundred and thirty years later, a piece of Qin King's Battle Song was able to save the Li Tang Dynasty once again."

"But how long has it been since the Zhenguan era?"

"Even if Li Shimin himself appeared, could he be inferior to a Qin King's Battle Song?"

Based on this alone, Liu Bang was certain.

With favorable timing, location, and popular support, this challenge will be exceptionally easy for Li Shimin!

All he could do was put himself in danger!

With Yuchi Gong's departure.

The storm began the following day and swept across the entire Great Yan!

The Heavenly Khan no longer concealed his whereabouts and stood up openly to declare war on the Great Yan Kingdom and on the former traitor, now Emperor An Lushan of Yan!

In Chang'an City.

The Cui family of Qinghe, the Li family of Longxi, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and others all gathered here.

Before them and An Lushan lay a piece of intelligence.

The location of Li Er is clearly written above.

"Gentlemen, Emperor Taizong has already declared war on us rebels. What do you think? Or rather, shouldn't you do something?"

"After all, I once said that I would rule the country together with the powerful families, so when trouble comes, please don't think you can stay out of it."

"If Emperor Taizong doesn't die, neither you nor I will have a proper burial place!"
