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

"Persist for a month?"

"Your Majesty, you're mistaken. Shouldn't it be 'to crush the enemy army'?"

Geshuhan blinked.

In his view, what good would it do for aristocratic families to control military power?

Without qualified generals, these people can only bully ordinary rebel armies at best!

He's not qualified to face his brother, Shu Han!

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen a general who's even more arrogant than me."

Seeing the pride on Geshuhan's face, Li Er smiled.

He liked such proud generals.

This made him feel as if he were seeing his former self.

An Lushan's prediction was correct.

Li Er hasn't been on the battlefield in far too long.

Even though his heart still burned with passion, his body was no longer what it used to be.

If I were to go back to the battlefield, let alone break through enemy lines and capture the king, I'd be lucky if I didn't get captured myself!

But just because he is no longer capable doesn't mean that his generals are no longer capable!

No matter what period Li Er appeared in, as long as it was the Tang Dynasty, there would be countless famous generals serving him!

The name of the Heavenly General was enough to attract countless famous generals throughout the Tang Dynasty!

"When His Majesty Emperor was young, he was a hundred times braver than this humble general!"

"Even now, if Your Majesty so desires, you can easily defeat them!"

Whether Geshu Han himself believed these words or not, Li Er certainly wouldn't.

"Stop flattering me, Guo Ziyi. You haven't said a word yet. Do you have any complaints about me?"

They noticed Li Er's gaze was directed their way.

Guo Ziyi shook his head repeatedly.

"Of course not, I was just thinking about something."

"The movements of all the powerful families are here, but what about the movements of the Great Yan court?"

“An Lushan is no fool. What he wants to do is definitely to kill His Majesty in one fell swoop.”

"In that case, the movements of the imperial army are quite intriguing."

He laid out all the intelligence he had received.

"blank."

"We know nothing about the movements of the imperial army."

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!

The information about the powerful families is already out in the open, but that is the least important thing.

If the imperial court's movements cannot be detected, then even if the aristocratic armies are truly defeated, this battle will still be a failure!

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, the aristocratic families are scapegoats sent by An Lushan!

What exactly does he want to do?

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

Li Er probably guessed An Lushan's plan.

Allowing powerful families to run rampant was a last resort.

If there is no opportunity, he probably won't take the risk again.

But now that Li Er has come to this world to participate in the challenge, perhaps he can have a chance to stalk the cicada from behind!

"You really have quite an appetite."

"Indeed, if he didn't have such ambition, he wouldn't have chosen to rebel."

Li Er said with a smile.

Even he almost overlooked this point.

Fortunately, Guo Ziyi was there.

"Then what do you think we should do? Should we not take action as long as the imperial army doesn't reveal its movements?"

"No, feign weakness to the enemy!"

"You may order General Ge to lead the army to meet the enemy. Defeat is permitted, but victory is not. You may even bring a small number of new recruits and lose some men on the battlefield."

Guo Ziyi was confident.

“Once he discovers that we do not have the strength to deplete the military strength of the aristocratic families, An Lushan will no longer hide.”

"After all, defeating His Majesty the Emperor Taizong would have a tremendous impact. If a powerful family were to accomplish this, the damage to the court's reputation would be absolutely unacceptable to him!"

"Feign weakness to lure the enemy deep into our territory, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Beyond the sky.

Seeing that Guo Ziyi had analyzed the movements of the aristocratic families and An Lushan's army clearly in just a few words, and had laid bait for all of them.

This person is incredibly talented!

"Judging from this one incident alone, his inclusion among the Ten Sages of the Martial Temple is well-deserved."

"Moreover, this bait is something that neither the powerful families nor An Lushan can refuse!"

"To defeat Li Er, the reputation...tsk tsk, we couldn't refuse it if we were in his shoes!"

"It was precisely because of Li Er's reputation and allure that Guo Ziyi devised this plan."

On the screen above, the vast majority of the comments were filled with amazement.

This is almost an open conspiracy.

Even though the powerful families and An Lushan knew that Geshu Han's repeated defeats might be a trap to lure the enemy in, they dared not take the gamble!

An Lushan dared not gamble on whether it was a scheme or a genuine defeat.

The powerful families, on the other hand, could not resist the temptation to personally defeat Emperor Taizong!

Being able to win but unable to win naturally left Geshuhan somewhat dissatisfied.

But he also understood the importance of this matter.

Moreover, losing is more difficult than winning.

The battle cannot be seen as a feigned defeat, nor can it result in a direct rout and excessive losses, nor can it drag on for too long, otherwise it will be difficult to withdraw from the battle.

Before he left, Guo Ziyi patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Defeat in this battle would be several times more difficult than victory, and His Majesty the Emperor's safety rests entirely on your shoulders!"

"General, I will watch over you alongside His Majesty the Emperor."

"Do not……"

Just as Geshuhan was about to say, "We will not return until we win,"

But he suddenly stopped midway through his sentence.

He really can't win this battle.

Is it a bit strange to say that they will not return until they are defeated?

For a moment, he froze on the spot.

"Go, all three thousand Xuanjia soldiers are now in your hands. I believe you will not disappoint me."

Three thousand Xuanjia soldiers—this is our trump card, and also the most tempting bait.

Only by putting these three thousand men out in the open can we drive all our enemies mad!

"We will never let Your Majesty down!"

As the three thousand armored warriors galloped across the battlefield, the armies of all the aristocratic families were indeed excited.

They all saw that Li Er was carrying the Three Thousand Xuan Armor when he participated in the challenge.

Everyone knows that this is the only force he can mobilize!

As long as these three thousand Xuanjia are buried, even if it costs ten times more, it will be absolutely worth it!

The Wang family of Taiyuan were the first to stand in front of the iron hooves.

Following closely behind was the Cui family of Qinghe.

Whether or not there is a loss, it doesn't seem to matter that much to them.

As long as they have money and power, even if all these people die, they can quickly replenish their ranks.

Manpower is something they care about the least!

Even if those blocking the way crumble at the slightest touch, it doesn't matter.

Even with repeated defeats, the advance of the Xuanjia Army will still be slowed down!

Even if their formation completely collapses, they don't care.

These 100,000 troops were killed by the Xuanjia Army!

Once they are exhausted from fighting and their fighting spirit is worn out, the balance of power will be reversed!

To everyone's surprise, under Geshuhan's leadership, the Xuanjia Army failed to even complete one round of attacks!

The charge was only halfway through; they had just passed through the Wang army's camp and had not yet engaged the Cui army when they turned their horses around.

For a moment, everyone from the various powerful families who were watching the battle was stunned.

What do you mean?

Was the fighting power of the Xuanjia Army overestimated?

Or is it that everyone has overestimated your brother Shu Han's abilities?

Can't you even kill these rotten fish and shrimp properly?
