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

Upon hearing Han Xin's words, Liu Bang was clearly taken aback.

He had suffered from the Xiongnu, but had never set foot on their territory and knew nothing about their customs.

Han Xin's words revealed this bloody truth for him.

The people they cherish are, in the eyes of these people, like livestock spoils of war!

“...Kill them all.”

"Kill them all!"

Seeing that quite a few people from that tribe were indeed heading towards the place where the Ming people were being held, Liu Bang let out two low growls.

He doesn't get angry very often; he can handle most things calmly.

But now, he could no longer suppress his anger.

"As you command, kill them all, leave no survivors."

Han Xin chuckled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

His original order was to exterminate them all, so there's no need to change it now.

Such a scene is indeed somewhat infuriating.

Although the village lacked strong defensive structures, the outer ring of barricades and their desperate resistance were enough to hold back the Oirat army's offensive for a short period.

As time passed, the villagers who had been imprisoned like livestock were all slaughtered.

Liu Bang couldn't bear it any longer and turned his head away.

His gaze fell on Zhang Liang.

"Zifang, are the Xiongnu like this too?"

Previously, Liu Bang had never truly regarded the Xiongnu as a significant and threatening enemy.

His only thought was to find a way to keep the Xiongnu out of the pass so that we could close our doors and live our own lives.

Therefore, even though he lost face, he didn't think much about revenge.

But now, seeing how these tribes treat the people of the Central Plains...

Has what he's been doing all along really been right?

Under such tribal raids, can the people living on the border really make a living?

"The Xiongnu... will only go further."

"In their society, the common people are treated like livestock or tools, but at least they can still get something to eat."

"But in the hands of the Xiongnu, they would not only be working animals, but also animals to be eaten."

Liu Bang might not have known these things, but Zhang Liang had seen them far too often.

Even someone as high-ranking as Liu Bang was destined to never see much of the suffering of the lower classes.

The memorials that Liu Bang could see only described the Xiongnu raids, the number of casualties suffered by his army, and how they drove the Xiongnu out of the border.

But it would never be written about how many Han people were captured during the Xiongnu raids.

They reported only good news and not bad news; this was the practice of most generals in the Han Dynasty.

If they can hide it, they will; if they can't, they'll say they've neglected the people and get a few lashes to get by.

"The number one person after Yao and Shun?"

"Hehe, now that I think about what those people said about me, I really feel guilty."

"Does someone like me deserve to be compared to Yao and Shun?"

Although he had already anticipated this, Liu Bang still felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing Zhang Liang's affirmative answer.

It turns out to be like this!

From beginning to end, it turns out that his so-called "closing himself off and living his own life" was nothing but self-deception!

"Your Majesty, it is not too late to realize this now."

"At least now, Your Majesty, you have enough time to change all of this. At least now, everything can still be salvaged."

Zhang Liang spoke in a low voice, while subtly glancing at Han Xin.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

He could guess some of Liu Bang's thoughts.

However, without Han Xin, conquering the Xiongnu would not be so easy.

The Han Dynasty indeed had many capable military leaders, and those who offered advice, such as Chen Ping, were equally outstanding.

However, when it comes to military strategy and campaigning, no one can compare to Han Xin.

"I understand."

The scene on the screen ended with the conversation between Liu Bang and Zhang Liang.

Those outside the canopy now knew what had happened in the tribes that Zhu Zhanji was seeing.

Outside of this tribe, Han Xin had already established his prestige.

One person was killed, and Esen dared not step forward.

From that moment on, his prestige was already comparable to that of Esen.

With his methods, he will surely be able to gradually and completely take control of the Oirat army.

After that, it's not hard to guess what will happen next.

What Zhu Zhanji is seeing now is enough to prove that Han Xin had no intention of uniting the various tribes at all.

From beginning to end, all he wanted to do was to let those who obeyed him prosper and those who defied him perish!

"Although Han Xin was arrogant, he also knew the principle that those who are not of his kind will surely have different hearts."

"He only dared to do this when facing these tribes from beyond the Great Wall."

Even Li Er had to admit it.

Han Xin, with his hands completely free, was indeed a force to be reckoned with.

If we follow Esen's prediction, uniting all the tribes would allow him to amass an army of approximately 200,000.

With Han Xin's current methods, if he were to coerce his way through, this number could potentially increase by another 50,000 to 100,000.

"The more soldiers Han Xin commands, the better."

"But now there is indeed something to look forward to. With similar troop strength, can Han Xin, with his renowned command abilities, bridge the equipment gap with the Jingying garrison?"

Without sufficient troops and equipment, even with Han Xin's extraordinary abilities, he could not turn the tide.

But as long as the military genius is given enough troops, this battle will be worth watching!

"But I'm just a little curious, Fourth Brother, your good grandson should have noticed this too, right?"

"Why hasn't he stopped yet? Although we can't see how many troops Han Xin has right now, no matter how many, he's marching rapidly across the grasslands without his cannons, which means his advantage in both manpower and equipment has been largely negated."

"What? Does he want a fair head-on clash with the God of War?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself honestly, if he had known that his opponent was Han Xin, he would never have acted so recklessly.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, Father. He's clearly gambling that he can catch up with Han Xin and the others before they return to the Oirat."

"As long as they can't return to Oirat, Han Xin won't have time to train."

"And the untrained rabble of the steppes will not pose much of a threat!"

"Moreover, while Han Xin's near-extermination methods can indeed gather more soldiers in the shortest amount of time, getting them to obey is not so easy!"

Zhu Di analyzed Zhu Zhanji's plan without the slightest hesitation.

If he were in Zhu Zhanji's position, he would have made the same choice.

No wonder he's the grandson I raised, he's just like me!

"What if Han Xin and his men had already returned to the Oirat Mongols before that and were waiting in ambush?"

Old Zhu blinked.

The image on the screen only showed Han Xin dealing with the first tribe.

They acted swiftly and efficiently, without wasting much time.

If things continue like this, what makes you think you can catch up with them?

"At least we can find out the strength of his troops. We can give him a heads-up. At worst, we'll lose some men. As long as we know our enemy, we won't lose anything!"

Old Zhu: “…”

"Fourth brother, how come I don't remember teaching you how to fight like this?"
