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

"This challenge should come to an end."

It must be said that the decision made by the aristocratic families did indeed make many people outside the Heavenly Curtain break out in a cold sweat for Li Er.

Fortunately, Guo Ziyi did not disappoint anyone.

As expected of someone who was selected as one of the Ten Sages of the Martial Temple, his control over the battle situation was very precise.

In contrast, Geshuhan was slightly inferior.

Not only were they completely unaware of the enemy's movements, but they were also easily led by the nose...

and many more?

"What is Geshuhan doing?"

"How did he do it?"

As the image on the sky split in two, Liu Bang was dumbfounded upon seeing Geshu Han's movements.

It should be noted that even if the powerful families only allocated a portion of their troops as bait.

But Geshuhan's forces were not that many.

However, the outcome of the battle was something no one had anticipated.

Everyone thought that Geshu Han had been led by the nose by the aristocratic families' bait.

Who would have thought it was a shark!

As it swallowed the bait, it also smelled the blood and bit the fisherman!

The powerful families, who thought they could sit back and relax, are now facing their first round of reckoning!

The Wang family, currently in Taiyuan City, will be the first to be affected!

Other powerful families could flee at the mere sight of the enemy, but the Wang family's temple was right here; where could they possibly run to?

When the scene shifted, Geshuhan had already begun the massacre.

He remembered His Majesty's decree very well.

They looted and killed at will.

The only requirement is that no one in the aristocratic family, regardless of age, gender, or whether they are human or animal, be left alive!

The allied forces of powerful families, still struggling in front of the main camp, probably never expected this.

They were still fighting, but it was they who were the first to have their base breached!

"To be honest, although he failed to see through the aristocratic family's scheme, he did manage to break it in a different way."

Zhao Kuangyin was somewhat difficult to assess.

This is probably a classic example of a scholar encountering a soldier, unable to reason with him.

All the plans were in place, and the enemy took the bait.

But who would have thought that the fish caught would swallow the fisherman instead!

Although Geshu Han could not be considered a brilliant general who could devise all plans, he certainly deserved the title of a fierce general!

"It's a case of merits and demerits balancing out. He's good at direct combat, but he's somewhat prone to neglecting the bigger picture."

There's not much to say about Goshuhan's record.

The controversy lies in the fact that some people believe that if he had been able to see through the enemy's scheme immediately, he wouldn't have been in such danger.

But Li Er would not punish him for this.

When Taiyuan was completely captured, Geshu Han led a small part of his army back to reinforce it.

Upon seeing Geshuhan approaching from behind, the remaining allied forces of the powerful clans lost all will to fight and surrendered one after another.

However, to their surprise, neither Geshu Han nor Yuchi Gong seemed to notice that they had laid down their weapons.

The massacre continues.

It has now turned into a massacre with no resistance.

From the moment they coerced the people to block the imperial army, they were all condemned to death.

So much so that from beginning to end, Yuchi Gong and the others never shouted the words "those who surrender will not be killed."

In this battle, there were no surrenderers and no innocent victims.

These people were all executioners!

Even though they had been oppressed in the past, after being oppressed, they chose to aid and abet the evildoers.

Such people, too, are subject to execution according to Li Er's decree!

"General, you have given me a wonderful surprise this time."

The dust has settled on the war.

Guo Ziyi was left to lead the cleanup of the battlefield, while Yuchi Gong and Geshu Han returned to report the battle situation to Li Er.

Upon hearing that Geshu Han had used the bait provided by the aristocratic families to his advantage, Li Er couldn't help but praise him.

However, to Geshuhan, this praise sounded like a reproach.

"Your Majesty was led by the nose by the enemy, causing Your Majesty to fall into danger. I deserve to die a hundred times!"

How dare I claim credit!

He didn't know much about Emperor Taizong.

But if Emperor Xuanzong were here, would he dare to put him in such a dangerous situation?

Whether or not someone will lose their head is unclear, but the good deeds will certainly not outweigh the bad, and they may even be held accountable later after this matter is over.

He felt that any emperor should be like this.

No emperor could tolerate his subordinates ignoring his safety.

He felt that whatever punishment he received was justified.

But just as he was thinking about what kind of punishment he would receive, whether he would be beheaded...

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed his shoulders.

"General, you have rendered the greatest service. I am too busy rewarding you to punish you."

Li Er chuckled and helped him up.

That is to say, he is now considered to be of noble birth.

If it were him in the past, he probably would have charged even faster than Geshuhan!

Those powerful families who want to capture the king first will have to face his might!

Although he was stopped when he wanted to charge into battle, it doesn't mean he would blame the fierce general who was focused on killing the enemy.

On the contrary, he really liked people like Geshuhan.

He has some of the charm he had in his youth!

"But, but this humble general has fallen for the enemy's tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain..."

Geshuhan blinked, clearly not expecting Li Er to give him such an answer.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain? No, no one can resist the temptation of striking straight at the heart of the enemy, not even me!"

Li Er waved his hand.

If you are simply lured away without achieving any results, then that's what you call "luring the tiger away from the mountain."

In his view, Geshuhan's actions were clearly a direct attack on the enemy's heartland!

"If it weren't for General Ge's direct attack on the heart of the enemy and the complete defeat of the powerful families in the rear, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to resolve this battle."

Guo Ziyi also remained silent about the dangers that had occurred here before.

As long as the result is good, he doesn't mind giving up some credit.

After all, Geshuhan was trying to defeat the enemy, and even if he was a bit radical, it was understandable.

"If it weren't for Minister Guo, I would have been in danger too. You all have made contributions, and your rewards will naturally be substantial."

"But what I want to say now is that the battle is not over yet."

“Besides the Wang family of Taiyuan, there are still six of the five surnames and seven clans left, and there are countless other aristocratic families who conspired with them to rebel.”

"What I said before wasn't just about the royal family."

"Once you've dealt with all the remaining criminals and returned to Chang'an, I will hold a celebration for you!"

Eliminate all those who slipped through the net!

A single sentence determined the fate of all the remaining aristocratic families.

However, Li Er did not personally witness the fate of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

He was too old to bear the sight of one-sided slaughter.

He just knows.

In the final figures reported by Geshuhan, the number of people dealt with by the Wang family alone exceeded 30,000.

This executioner truly followed his previous orders strictly.

Exterminate their entire clan, leaving no one alive!

Not even a single egg was left intact!

"Killing the embryo, Li Er really made the right choice in entrusting this task to him."

"He kills men, women, young and old without even blinking an eye!"

"The eggs were all shaken until the yolks were broken, and even the neighbor's dog got some!"

"Whether this Geshu Han is a fierce general or not, I can't say for sure, but he's definitely a ruthless man!"
