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

"what?"

"How could this be?"

What happened here?

"Civil unrest?"

"That can't be right. With the Ming Dynasty pressing down on us, even if the various tribes of the remnant Yuan Dynasty are in internal strife, they should still have some sense of proportion. How could this be!"

In the scene, Zhu Zhanji leads his army deep into the grasslands.

But every tribe he passed through was reduced to ruins.

It was filled with a large number of corpses, some of them Mongolians and others of Central Plains origin.

Those dressed as people from the Central Plains were mostly ordinary people.

Zhu Zhanji was aware of this, as most of the tribes of the remnant Yuan dynasty had a habit of capturing civilians as slaves.

Even during famines, these civilians could be food.

In their eyes, the people of the Central Plains were not even human beings; they could be killed at will.

Even when he was in power and had subdued the remnants of the Yuan dynasty, a large number of people were still abducted from the border every year.

Let alone now.

Looking at these people now, most of them died at the hands of their own tribes.

But who did these things to these tribes?

shocking!

As Zhu Zhanji passed through each tribe, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

It's not for the people of these tribes, but for the Ming Dynasty people who died in these tribes!

He didn't understand why, after he had driven these tribes hundreds of miles away during his reign, they had returned so soon!

Judging from their behavior, they seem to be much more arrogant than before.

Does his death make these people think the Ming Dynasty is so easy to bully?

What exactly was Zhu Qizhen doing?!

This scene is not just in one tribe, but in every place!

In each place, hundreds to thousands of civilians were abducted!

Before they died in battle, these civilians were killed by their swords!

At the same time, it seemed as if it was to answer the questions of those outside the celestial canopy.

The image splits into two at this moment.

The scene on the other side seemed to be telling them what had happened to these tribes before.

When Liu Bang withdrew his troops, he ordered that all supplies in Yanghe be taken away.

Even so, if they wanted to withdraw from the Oirat and plan for the long term, the army still did not have enough food and supplies.

So Zhang Liang and Han Xin discussed it and decided to borrow some from other tribes along the way.

Anyway, if they recruit soldiers in the future, they'll have to deal with them eventually, so it's good to get acquainted with them now.

But what they didn't expect was.

Upon arriving at their first destination, a small tribe whose name even Esen didn't know, the scene they witnessed was unforgettable for them!

The people of the Central Plains were kept in pens here like pigs and dogs.

Standing outside the tribe, Liu Bang could see from afar that the people who should have belonged to the Ming Dynasty were being whipped like livestock, doing farm work that livestock should do.

Many women were squatting naked in the corner, and anyone with eyes could tell what they had been through.

"Your Majesty, shall we still borrow grain?"

Seeing that Esen was about to go in to discuss with the tribal chief, Han Xin immediately reached out and stopped him.

His tone was filled with undisguised murderous intent.

He seemed completely unconcerned that Esen would notice something was amiss.

Upon hearing this, Esen indeed stopped and turned to look at Liu Bang.

He knew one thing very well.

The tribe lacked food, and the Ming Dynasty court refused to provide them with assistance.

If nothing unexpected happens, they won't even make it through this winter.

Moreover, he has now completely broken with the Ming Dynasty. Under these circumstances, his only savior is Liu Bang, not these other poor tribes!

"Borrow grain?"

Liu Bang was taken aback.

His gaze seemed somewhat vacant.

Looking at everything that has happened and is happening in this tribe.

He seemed to be thinking about some things that had happened to him.

Just as the Xiongnu invaded the Han Dynasty, these people of the Ming Dynasty are just like the subjects of the Han Dynasty!

"borrow!"

"Take their lives with us!"

"Those who are willing to leave will be organized into suicide squads and left without weapons; those who are unwilling to leave will be buried here!"

These words greatly shocked Esen.

He knew how many people would die because of this order.

Before he could plead for mercy, he heard Han Xin beside him give a cold laugh.

"According to the order."

"The concept of suicide squads is still quite useful on the battlefield."

Immediately afterwards, Han Xin waved his hand, and the flag officer began to convey his military orders.

For a moment, the Oirat army was stunned.

They understood Han Xin's meaning, but dared not believe it.

Do you really want to do this?

Ultimately, when facing the Ming Dynasty, they were on the same side as this tribe.

Are they now being asked to turn against their allies?

However, Han Xin did not give them much time to hesitate, and did not even wait for Esen to give the order.

He drew his sword and slit the throat of the person behind him.

"Military orders are absolute; those who disobey will be executed without mercy!"

The unfortunate guy who had been intimidated clutched his neck in disbelief.

Even as he fell from his horse, his eyes were still fixed on Esen.

It seemed unbelievable that Han Xin would actually kill someone without a word!

"you……"

Just as Esen was about to question him, he saw Han Xin's cold gaze fall upon him.

"Do you have any advice for my actions?"

The threat is beyond words.

Esen couldn't understand why Han Xin dared to threaten him so blatantly when he was surrounded by his own men.

He could easily have his men swarm him and chop them all into mincemeat with a wave of his hand.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring himself to swing his hand.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Esen obediently lowered his head.

These three men were the last hope for the survival of the Oirat people.

Without them, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty would never have let the Oirats go!

Seeing that Esen did not stand up for that man, the Oirat army remained silent for a long time.

As soon as Han Xin raised his sword again, they surrounded the tribe in no time, as if they had planned it beforehand.

If one of them or their ally had to die, most people would choose to let their ally die.

Before long, the people in that tribe realized something was wrong.

The chief rushed out of the tribe, saw Esen, and was about to shout something when an arrow pierced his throat.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

Although Liu Bang's decree allowed for the retention of some men as suicide soldiers.

But this tribe is not qualified enough; their role is to establish authority!

For these thousands of people, death was their only destiny!

"We must do our best to rescue the people. Although they are not subjects of our great Han Dynasty, they are still people of the Central Plains."

Liu Bang gave his instructions.

But Han Xin simply pointed to the distance.

"Your Majesty, that's impossible. They won't let us get that many spoils of war."

In the eyes of the people of the grassland tribes, slaves were also among the spoils of war.

Before being defeated, they would slaughter all the slaves, leaving no chance for their enemies to gain any advantage!
