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

Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?

This statement was originally made by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

When they started their uprising, Chen Sheng devised a large number of slogans to make them appear more legitimate and divinely ordained.

Things like "The Rise of the Great Chu" and "Chen Sheng Becomes King".

It wasn't until their uprising was suppressed that Liu Bang gradually began to gain fame.

But this does not mean that he was unaware of his predecessors.

On the contrary, he admired those people quite a bit.

If they hadn't started it, perhaps everything would have been different.

"Do you want to be ordinary citizens for the rest of your lives, or do you want to be kings and generals sitting high in the imperial court? Today, I will place this opportunity before you and let you choose for yourselves!"

After saying that, Liu Bang pointed to the city gate on the other side.

"I hope that all of you will be willing to work with me, Liu Bang, to accomplish great things. This world belongs to me, and it also belongs to you!"

His words were full of passion.

Those outside the canopy were all stunned.

"Emperor Gaozu of Han truly deserves to be called the 'Han Dynasty's Succubus' by the immortals."

"After hearing those words, the expressions on the faces of my men all changed!"

"Damn it, thank goodness the Great Ancestor didn't come to challenge us in our time, otherwise, if he stood up, what chance would anyone else have?"

Cao Cao caught a glimpse of the expressions on the faces of his men.

Those are the images of longing in each of them.

He looked somewhat disheveled.

The decision to support the emperor in punishing the disloyal was indeed the right one.

In the hearts of most people, the Han dynasty still holds an unparalleled weight!

"Don't even mention you, even we feel our blood boiling just listening to it."

"If someone had said something like that to us back then, asking us to work for them, I bet we wouldn't have even blinked!"

Old Zhu smacked his lips and said.

"Old Zhu, haven't you said this quite a few times already?"

"You'll do anything for a bite to eat, or even if you're given a few empty promises. What exactly do you do for a living?"

Zhao Kuangyin lost his composure.

He was a little curious: was Old Zhu just playing the straight man, or was he really serious?

It's one thing to be a straight man, but if what he said is true, how miserable must his background be?

Of all the historical figures he knew, the emperor with the most humble origins was probably Liu Bang, who was currently facing a challenge.

But he was a village head, which is still an official position!

How could they possibly stoop so low as to rebel if given a mere meal?

"We..."

A look of reminiscence flashed across Old Zhu's face.

"Our days were really tough back then."

The family only had two pairs of pants. Two people could go out, and the rest had to stay at home.

Forget about getting a full meal, they've almost dug up all the wild grass and vegetables along the roadside.

They've already fallen into such a dire situation, if you just give them something to eat, what can't you get them to do?

"Then how did you become emperor?"

Zhao Kuangyin clearly did not believe it.

Without some foundation, how can you compete with powerful families for the world? At best, you'll just be a lackey helping them conquer the world!

He understands this very well.

Because he used to help others build their empires.

But his background was far superior to that of Old Zhu.

"We've been more than just emperors; we've been cowherds, beggars, monks, and bandits."

"In the end, we realized that our happiest time was when we were cowherds."

Old Zhu sighed.

Having gained control of the country and ascended the throne, he found himself no longer as happy as before.

Every day when he opens his eyes, he is greeted with a mountain of worries and a pile of memorials to the emperor.

Sometimes he really wanted to give up.

But if he abandons his post, what will happen to the people of the world?

The emperor was not only a supreme ruler, but also represented a heavy responsibility.

"..."

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

"This is a position everyone dreams of, and you're saying it's not as good as a cowherd's?"

"Enough with Versailles!"

"But countless people have fought tooth and nail, even lost their lives, for this position!"

As Old Zhu's Versailles began, many people couldn't help but laugh and curse.

Many of them turned against each other for the throne.

I wonder what price they paid to get to this position.

"Old Zhu, if there is a list of wise rulers and challenges after the immortals, I would like to test your experience."

Ying Zheng was very curious about what kind of person Zhu was.

What's even more intriguing is whether his background was as impoverished as he claimed.

"Let's skip it then. I reckon even if we tried again, we might not be able to get to this position step by step."

Thinking back to the old days, Old Zhu couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

It's not that I miss the poverty of the past, but rather the unbridled freedom.

"If it weren't for our girl, I reckon my own corpse would have been devoured by some stray dog."

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about those things."

"The smoother the Emperor's progress is now, the more precarious Zhuge Liang's situation becomes. This time, our Ming Dynasty is likely to lose all face."

Refocusing his attention on the imagery on the sky, Old Zhu sighed again.

It's fun to see others make a fool of themselves, but it's not so pleasant when that same fool happens to you.

Old Zhu had lost count of how many times he had sighed these past few days.

“Zhongba, this is not shameful.”

Empress Ma, who was standing nearby, offered a soft word of comfort.

"After all, they are facing Emperor Gaozu of Han, who founded the Han Dynasty, as well as Zhang Liang and Han Xin. No matter who goes up, they will not be confident. Even if they lose, it will not be shameful."

In this challenge, Zhu Zhanji's first battle, in which he dealt with the various border tribes that Han Xin had deliberately left behind, was already a testament to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

What follows will not be a struggle between the Ming Dynasty and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, but a struggle between the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty!

Regardless of who wins or loses, neither side should be described as shameful!

That makes sense.

Old Zhu gave a wry smile.

Everyone's attention shifted back to the image on the sky.

In a short period of time, Liu Bang, who originally had only 30,000 surrendered soldiers, now has an army that is about to exceed 100,000.

Even though Zhuge Liang had anticipated this situation, he had no way to counter it.

Han Xin and Zhang Liang were watching Zhu Zhanji closely outside Zijing Pass. If he dared to withdraw too many troops, Zhu Zhanji would definitely not be able to defend the pass!

On the other side, at Juyong Pass, even though the enemy had more cavalry, they continued to launch fearless attacks.

Even though Yu Qian had led a portion of the Beijing garrison to reinforce the area ahead of time, they were still struggling to breathe under the fierce attack.

It even made him wonder at one point whether this was really a feint.

Far away in the palace of Shuntian.

After his heart-to-heart talk with Liu Shan that night, Zhuge Liang locked himself in his room.

There was a sand table in the room, and even now, he was still staring at it intently without saying a word.

On the sand table, he planted small flags for both sides at Zijing Pass and Juyong Pass.

On the other side, Luoyang, had a separate Han army flag planted.

News of the fall has been sent back.
