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

The envelope that was thrown on the ground burned to ashes in a few moments.

They all knew that what they were about to do might leave them with a lasting stain on their reputation!

And it happened simultaneously in the eyes of people from countless dynasties!

If you have to do it anyway.

They should bear the infamy themselves!

"With these two men, Li Er's challenge will be much easier this time!"

Old Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

If it were just Yuchi Gong alone, Li Er would never have had such an easy time either breaking through Tong Pass or facing the current difficulties.

However, both Guo Ziyi and Geshu Han were exceptionally talented individuals.

What the roughneck Yuchi Gong couldn't have thought of, they understood perfectly.

"I am very curious about what Li Er wrote in his letter."

This damned curiosity was making Liu Bang's heart pound like a cat was scratching at it.

Even knowing that these three were utterly loyal, but...

Damn it!

Couldn't you just let me have a peek?

"If nothing unexpected happens, those four words should be..."

"Compassion does not control armies."

Zhao Kuangyin also did not see what Li Er actually wrote.

But with just four words, that was all he could guess.

After all, those three people didn't open it up to check, so no one can guarantee anything.

"Since the three of them are willing to bear this infamy, why do you need to pursue it further?"

"If we were to actually guess it, wouldn't we be betraying the unwavering loyalty of these three people?"

Finally, Ying Zheng spoke, bringing an end to the speculation surrounding Li Er's letter.

But that letter is clearly not the focus right now.

The key point is the subsequent massacre.

Even though Yuchi Gong and his men aimed to break through the civilian defenses, they still couldn't avoid bloodshed in the process.

Those who resisted more fiercely all died under the sword.

The resistance they encountered along the way was weak, but the more they fought, the lower the morale of the army became.

This is the second objective of the aristocratic families.

To slow down the army's advance and wear down its morale.

After these massacres of innocent civilians, how much fighting spirit do these people really have left?

Not to mention the soldiers under his command, even Yuchi Gong and others were exhausted.

Having finally broken through the crowd's encirclement and set up camp again, the three men gathered in the main tent looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Can I still fight?"

I'm afraid it's not possible.

Even knowing that a large army of powerful families was ahead.

And they are already closing in, forming an encirclement.

They didn't have a good way to deal with it.

This is a conspiracy!

To wear down their fighting spirit and morale, we finally launched a crushing attack after they broke through the encirclement of civilians!

Those from aristocratic families may not be particularly skilled in military strategy, but they are absolutely top-notch at manipulating people's hearts.

They were convinced that no army could maintain its fighting spirit after such a series of killings.

Their strategy was to wait in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out!

"I'm going to fight them. You all go back and report to His Majesty that if I die in battle, he should allow me to gather my strength and wait until I have absolute certainty before wiping them out in one fell swoop!"

Geshuhan suddenly stood up.

Even though there was weariness in his eyes.

But he knew that someone had to step up at this time.

Otherwise, passive defense will only lead to a slow and inevitable demise for everyone.

Only when he stepped forward did Yuchi Gong and Guo Ziyi have a chance to escape!

"The Duke is still here. When did it become your turn to die, you junior?"

Yuchi Gong reached out and pressed him down.

"When Your Majesty was still the King of Qin, I fought alongside him in the north and south, and we have fought hundreds of battles, large and small, to date."

“I’m still here, it’s not your turn to take my place.”

"Save your lives, and go back to tell His Majesty that I, Yuchi Jingde, would like to serve under him in my next life and fight for him on all sides!"

Geshuhan was not convinced, and the two immediately began to compete.

Only Guo Ziyi remained silent, his brows furrowed.

"Guo Ziyi, tell me, who should stay?"

The two were unable to determine who was better, so Geshuhan turned to look at him, who had remained silent.

Faced with the gazes cast upon him by both men, Guo Ziyi's brows gradually relaxed.

He figured some things out.

"If I'm not mistaken, none of us need to stay behind."

"Think about it carefully, is His Majesty really the kind of person who dumps everything on his subordinates?"

"If he were really that kind of person, how could so many people have followed him so devotedly in the first place?"

"what?"

The two people were completely dumbfounded by what he said.

"What do you mean?"

Yuchi Gong asked, stunned.

"What do you mean? It means, of course, that I have arrived."

"Jingde, you should save your life to continue leading my horse when you get back."

"I just don't understand. After following me for so many years, you still don't understand my style of doing things as well as Ziyi. You have disappointed me greatly."

Li Er's voice came from outside the tent.

The next moment, he stepped through the curtain.

The moment he saw him, Yuchi Gong's eyes turned red.

"Your Majesty, why have you come?"

"This is a stain that will last for all time. If you bear it, your reputation will be ruined!"

Li Er simply chuckled.

"Ha, am I the kind of emperor who is unwilling to bear the responsibility for his own sins?"

"Let any infamy come at me; I will not evade it, and the historians shall record it truthfully!"

"I have already accepted the murder of my brother and imprisonment of my father. What else is there that I cannot accept!"

"To me, you are far more important than any so-called reputation!"

"If that's what the powerful families are after, then they've misjudged me, Li Shimin!"

Outside the main tent, countless soldiers had gathered there at some unknown time.

Even though the allied forces of the noble families had quietly surrounded them, no one felt the slightest fear upon seeing the person in the tent!

Their war god and their emperor are both here!

How could they possibly lose!

"Soldiers, today, all the blame rests on me, and your task is to wipe out those powerful families and avenge the innocent people who died unjustly!"

"You can do it!"

The moment Li Er turned around, messengers relayed his words one by one throughout the vast camp that stretched for more than ten miles.

Immediately following was a deafening roar of battle cries!

With such a great emperor leading them, how could they possibly back down!

"My only decree to you is that every single aristocratic family must be spared!"

"Defeat their coalition, storm their strongholds, and I will allow you to plunder at will. My only requirement is that you leave no survivors!"

The allied forces of powerful families, who were closing in from afar and were confident of victory, suddenly heard a rousing battle cry erupting from their sprawling camp.

For a moment, they were somewhat confused.

Just two days ago, when they sent scouts to investigate, the soldiers in this camp were all dejected.

What's going on here?

Suddenly got a shot of adrenaline?
