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

"Duke of Chu, I never expected His Majesty would send you to die alongside your brothers this time."

"Yes, Duke of Chu, if you ask me, why would I need you to come? This little matter is more than enough for the brothers."

"That's right, cutting off supply lines and burning grain fodder, the brothers have done this countless times, we're very skilled at it."

On the path, I could hear the sounds of battle echoing from Tongguan Pass behind me.

Xuanjia, who was standing next to Yuchi Gong, said with a grin.

They had no fear of dying; for them, it was as commonplace as eating a meal.

The same applies to Yuchi Gong.

During the time I followed Li Er in conquering the world, I escaped death countless times.

He was practically given a second chance at life.

Now, as long as we can wash away the shame that those two people who were counted and challenged brought to the Tang Dynasty, what does it matter if we give our lives back to the battlefield!

"You guys are all talkative."

"If you fail to complete His Majesty's mission, I'll go back and hang you all up and whip you!"

Looking at the faces of those around him who were ready to die, Yuchi Gong laughed and scolded.

"The mission will definitely not be delayed, but in the past, His Majesty would always prepare some wine for us when we did this kind of thing."

"Exactly, what's the use of silver? We Xuanjia are not short of silver. Wine is much more satisfying."

For a moment, Yuchi Gong was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

These brutes!

In a war, they are the most reliable source of strength.

But before that, the gossip of these people could make him explode on the spot.

"Where would you get some wine right now!"

"Once this challenge is over, and once we have washed away the shame of my Great Tang Dynasty, I will return to my homeland and treat you all to a drink!"

"Let's drink him for three days and three nights, until he's completely drunk!"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience cheered.

It was as if they weren't going to risk their lives, but rather to collect a reward.

"Lord Duke, even if we all die, please remember to hold a banquet. We would rather die than not have a sip of wine that you would treat us to!"

"Haha, if we die, then the living will naturally have someone to drink the Duke's wine!"

"The brothers who survive will have to drink a lot!"

……

Seeing these people's grinning faces, countless people outside the sky quietly lowered their heads.

When they were conquering the world, they all had a group of loyal soldiers who were willing to die for their country.

Unfortunately, almost all of them were killed or wounded during the campaign.

After bowing his head for a moment, Ying Zheng turned to look at Li Si.

"Have my old Qin soldiers been properly settled?"

He realized that he had been ignoring this all along.

What has become of those veterans who helped him conquer this land and unify the country?

If he hadn't witnessed Xuanjia's heroic sacrifice today, he probably wouldn't have even noticed these people.

These are the greatest contributors!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the veterans have all been properly taken care of. The meritorious officials of our Great Qin will never be mistreated!"

Li Si said in a deep voice.

In fact, he didn't know how those veterans were resettled.

But in his view, under the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, those who truly made contributions could at least live a relatively wealthy life.

However, upon seeing the subtle change in his expression, Ying Zheng's face instantly darkened.

"Li Si, I hope you can figure this out before you give me an answer."

"If I find out later that what you said was false, you should know what the consequences will be."

The cold voice instantly brought Li Si back to his senses.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will personally visit those veterans today and give you a definite answer within three days!"

The same thing happened almost simultaneously in various dynasties.

Apart from Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Er), who never mistreated his meritorious officials and soldiers, most other emperors were more or less somewhat guilty.

Especially those founding emperors!

Old Zhu also scratched his head with an embarrassed expression and looked at Empress Ma.

"Girl, we haven't treated them unfairly, have we?"

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he believed that he had not mistreated any of his meritorious officials.

But so much time has passed, and he has never cared about what happened to those people again.

"Your Majesty can send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate. For so long, those people have indeed been neglected too much."

Empress Ma said softly.

Only when these soldiers' heroic appearances are displayed before everyone's eyes, as shown in the sky today, can they remember the brothers who fought alongside them to conquer the world.

Amidst deep reflection by everyone.

Several days have passed as indicated by the time displayed on the sky.

The Battle of Tongguan had reached its climax.

Li Er held nothing back and committed his entire army, including himself, to the attack!

Guo Ziyi, who was originally carrying the imperial decree and leading the central army to assist Geshu Han in attacking the city, turned his head and saw a familiar figure riding up on horseback not far away.

Judging by their momentum, they were even faster than Guo Ziyi!

Your Majesty, what are you doing?

"Your Majesty, the battlefield is dangerous! Please, no! Ouch!"

"Your Majesty, please return quickly. Leave this battle to me. I will certainly not let you down!"

Guo Ziyi ran and shouted.

But Li Er simply passed right in front of him, leading his remaining dozens of riders and leaving them far behind!

He tried to stop him, but he really couldn't!

Guo Ziyi wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had just noticed His Majesty glance at him.

That look seemed to say, "While I was charging into battle, you were probably playing in the mud somewhere!"

This challenge is a battle to wash away the shame of his Great Tang Dynasty!

How could he possibly stay comfortably in the rear!

Yuchi Gong has already taken a shortcut to the enemy's rear to intercept their supply lines. If he were to stand by and watch, he would despise himself!

Those soldiers who followed Li Er should know very well that Li Er would never say "Charge for me" to Li Er.

All he would say was, "Follow me and charge into battle!"

On the battlefield, he was always the one who led from the front!

"The entire army must follow! We cannot allow anything to happen to His Majesty!"

Seeing that he was being left further and further behind, Guo Ziyi quickly shouted.

At the same time, he also ordered his messengers to inform Goshuhan of the news.

He simply couldn't catch up.

In fact, Guo Ziyi also couldn't understand why he had suddenly ordered the entire army to press on the border.

There has been no news from the Duke of Chu yet.

These few days are just enough time for that surprise attack force to get around to the enemy's rear.

Does that mean they don't need to rest for a while and can jump straight into a deadly battle?

He couldn't understand the unspoken understanding between His Majesty and Yuchi Gong.

I can't understand why His Majesty is so willing to gamble everything, including himself, on the fact that news of the enemy's supplies being burned will also reach us during this battle.

The two thousand or so men who circled behind enemy lines were indeed an isolated force.

But if they can capture Tongguan in the shortest possible time, at least most of them will be able to return alive.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Er even went so far as to personally lead an expedition!

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that the morale of the army surged dramatically after seeing His Majesty charging at the forefront!

Goshuhan also noticed this.

The soldiers, who had been somewhat demoralized by the repeated battles, suddenly became as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

He asked out of curiosity and found out.

His Majesty is so disappointed in them that he thinks they are incapable of taking Tongguan Pass. He has already personally led the expedition and is about to march down to Tongguan Pass!
