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

in the palace.

Liu Shan, however, was so happy in Shu that he forgot all about it.

He was completely unaware of his current disadvantages.

Of course, even if they knew, it probably wouldn't change anything.

Seeing his life of pleasure, Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed helplessly.

He also wanted Liu Shan to handle some political affairs.

However, even he was not very proficient in the current affairs of the court, let alone Liu Shan.

Even if he does nothing, that would be a huge help.

only……

"Your Majesty, you should learn more so that if I pass away one day, you will be able to take over the administration of Shu."

After sending out the military orders, Zhuge Liang took a moment to visit Liu Shan.

It was already late at night, but Liu Shan's palace was still brightly lit.

Pushing open the door, one could see dozens of eunuchs sitting in a circle, with Liu Shan in the very center, watching the crickets in the bowl, chirping merrily!

After reprimanding the eunuch and sending him away, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Shan with a helpless expression.

"If we can win the immortal's reward in this challenge, you should live longer than me, Father. Don't worry."

Liu Shan's face was full of self-righteousness.

He still felt somewhat guilty about being scolded by his father in the past.

But now, guilt?

joke!

You're sure to outlive me, Father!

As for your ideal of restoring the Han Dynasty, you'd better work hard for it yourself!

"But we probably can't win."

Zhuge Liang was even more helpless.

As he spoke, his tone became somewhat hurried, and he couldn't help but cough a few times.

“What were originally dead pieces have been turned into living pieces by our opponents, and they are even showing signs of being able to compete with us.”

Zhuge Liang was still unsure whether Liu Bang would choose Chang'an or Luoyang.

But no matter where he chooses to establish his base, eradicating him will be extremely difficult!

"But Prime Minister, the fact that we can stand on equal footing means that the advantage is still with us, doesn't it?"

Liu Shan was completely bewildered.

"what?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't quite understand Liu Shan's wild ideas.

What do you mean?

What does it mean that the advantage is still on our side?

Seeing that Zhuge Liang seemed puzzled, Liu Shan quickly continued.

“Your Excellency, look at this. We once held Shu, yet we had to contend with the powerful Cao Wei. Your Excellency, you were still able to hold your own against Cao Wei during the Northern Expeditions.”

"Moreover, we are currently evenly matched, which means we are not at a disadvantage and even have a slight advantage in terms of troop strength. Doesn't that mean the advantage is in our hands?"

Liu Shan spoke each word carefully.

In the end, even Zhuge Liang wanted to give him a thumbs up.

"Your Highness is not truly incompetent; His Majesty understands everything that is required, but..."

"But now our opponents are the military genius and the strategist, as well as Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty the Great Ancestor? So what?"

Liu Shan, however, did not take it seriously.

"If you, Prime Minister, ultimately succeed in restoring the Han Dynasty, what difference will you have from Emperor Gaozu?"

Zhuge Liang: “…”

The logic is sound, but Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to say it so bluntly!

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

"Father, please don't think I'm being disrespectful. It's just that your expression today makes me feel uneasy."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's expression was somewhat strange, Liu Shan continued.

Is he stupid?

No.

In fact, he knows a lot of things and is reasonable.

But most of the time he's too lazy to think about so many things.

Outside the sky.

Liu Bei was somewhat bewildered by the conversation between the two.

Is this something a tyrannical ruler would say?

It seems that my son isn't as incompetent as I've imagined!

"In the end, Liu Shan was not a foolish ruler in the traditional sense. If he were a foolish ruler, he could not have continued the Shu Han dynasty for decades after Zhuge Liang's death."

Most people wouldn't find it surprising that Liu Shan could say such things.

His behavior throughout has never been that of a foolish emperor.

On the contrary, he may see things more clearly than most people do.

Just like the reversal of this chess game right now.

In Zhuge Liang's view, he had already missed the best opportunity.

But in Liu Shan's eyes, the advantage was still on their side!

"But I think Liu Shan is right. Even if Liu Bang had successfully captured Luoyang or Chang'an, the vast majority of people's hearts would still be with the Ming Dynasty!"

"His attempt to reverse public opinion is definitely not that simple!"

Regardless of whether he was Liu Bang or anyone else.

It's not easy to disrupt a peaceful era!

What happened next on the sky seemed to confirm Ying Zheng's words.

Unfortunately, he seems to have overlooked Liu Bang's succubus-like nature.

Zhuge Liang was indeed forced into a corner and had no choice but to send all the troops he could mobilize to guard Zijing Pass and Juyong Pass.

Having infiltrated the ranks, Liu Bang captured Luoyang, the former capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with almost no effort.

He was somewhat unfamiliar with this place.

But I had already learned about it from the challenges I reviewed before.

A place of constant warfare, with fertile land and a large population, it is a strategic location that military strategists must contend for!

It was precisely because of these combined advantages that he chose Luoyang over Chang'an!

However, upon entering Luoyang, the atmosphere in the city made him feel somewhat heavy.

The way these people looked at him wasn't exactly welcoming.

This was a treatment he had never experienced before.

"Gentlemen, you should all know who I am, right?"

Sensing that something was amiss in the city, Liu Bang immediately summoned the people.

He stood at the highest point of the city gate tower.

"My friend over there is right, I am Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"I won't waste time with pleasantries today; you all know why I'm here."

"Most of you probably already know why I've gathered you here today."

"Of course, even if you already know, I'll still tell you."

Liu Bang stood on the city wall.

Even if no one pays attention to him or supports him, he doesn't feel disappointed.

Instead, his tone became increasingly agitated.

"I came to Luoyang for two reasons: first, to obtain provisions, and second, to build an army!"

"The Ming emperor was incompetent, and a single battle resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

"Do you really think you can have a good life following such a tyrannical ruler?"

"I can promise you not much, but at least two things."

"Anyone who is willing to follow me and survives will be rewarded according to their military merits, even if it means being ennobled or appointed as prime minister. I will not be stingy with my rewards!"

"If you unfortunately die, I will make proper arrangements for your family!"

"I know that a large part of you are used to the peaceful life in the Ming Dynasty."

"But after seeing the immortals' assessment on the celestial screen, and after witnessing the incompetence of the Ming Dynasty, don't you feel any anger in your hearts?"

"Even someone like that can become emperor!"

"There was a time when I really liked a certain saying, and today I'm going to pass that saying on to you."

"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"
