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

If you were to ask who understood Xiang Yu best, it would definitely be Xiang Yu himself!

While everyone was speculating whether Xiang Yu would follow the trend or establish his own independent power once the six-nation alliance split apart.

After defeating Liu Bang's army, he simply stood quietly in front of a valley.

This is the only way to Xianyang.

To get around this valley, you'll have to take a lot of detours.

Upon learning that the First Emperor had arrived to participate in the challenge, Xiang Yu knew that his immediate thought was to capture the king first!

No one could stop the fear of the First Emperor from spreading among the nobles of the six kingdoms.

Once fear takes hold, no one can predict how it will end.

All he could do was isolate his army from the emotion called fear.

For Xiang Yu of this era, his choices were either to surrender with King Huai of Chu or to destroy the Qin Dynasty single-handedly!

"Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qin."

"I didn't lead you to destroy Qin; instead, I became an accomplice in protecting Qin. Will you blame me?"

Xiang Yu looked at the five thousand soldiers behind him.

He did not ask Ying Zheng for reinforcements; the only people he could rely on were his own Jiangdong soldiers.

No one responded to his question.

But you could see from their eyes that there were no complaints or grievances.

All that remained was the will to fight!

No matter who the opponent is, as long as the Overlord's army points the way, they will charge and kill without hesitation!

As Xiang Yu of this era led his army closer, everyone outside the sky held their breath in suspense.

It is not hard to see that the outcome of this battle will determine whether this challenge can be successful.

If they are defeated, the two Meng brothers, along with five thousand Meng family soldiers and some barely organized rabble, will probably not be able to stop the bloodthirsty Xiang Yu in Xianyang.

If they win, the remaining nobles of the six kingdoms will no longer hesitate to surrender.

No one could have predicted that what most people considered the most difficult challenge would become the final battle in the hands of Ying Zheng and Xiang Yu.

In the blink of an eye, Ying Zheng had restored order to Xianyang and the surrounding towns.

While Meng Tian led his army to suppress various rebel armies, he also issued a series of decrees to appease the people.

Ziying went from being the third emperor of Qin to becoming an official in charge of disaster relief.

He was already quite capable; in fact, he was even able to promote local officials who were in short supply while providing disaster relief.

It is worth mentioning that whether it was the allied forces of the feudal lords who were preparing to surrender, Meng Tian who was suppressing the rebels, or Ziying who was providing disaster relief, they all deliberately avoided that battlefield.

The battlefield between Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, and the young Xiang Yu.

One side had tens of thousands of troops behind them, while the other side only had five thousand soldiers from Jiangdong.

However, the order forbidding anyone from interfering in this battle was relayed by Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

Ying Zheng originally planned that after Meng Tian persuaded the allied forces of various feudal lords to surrender, he would integrate the Qin army that had been defeated and scattered in various places, and then cut off their retreat.

But since Xiang Yu wanted to fight his former self fairly, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Although Meng Tian was accepting the surrender of the allied forces of the various lords, the eyes of the Qin scouts never left that battlefield!

But in this battle, no one else had the chance to intervene.

By the time Meng Tian received the first batch of reports from his scouts, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, had already finished fighting and was cleaning up the battlefield.

Before the battle even began, he had an almost absolute chance of winning.

The difference between the art of war and other military strategies lies in the fact that the art of war is based on the principle of strategic positioning.

The fewer and more elite the troops, the greater the advantage they can gain.

With five thousand against tens of thousands, facing an enemy force nearly ten times their own size, he actually managed to firmly grasp the initiative.

Tens of thousands of troops seemed uncontrollable in his presence!

"If we had abandoned the excess army earlier and only taken eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers, the outcome would have been uncertain."

"But I know my own personality. Abandoning a large, redundant army would be tantamount to failure for me, and my pride wouldn't allow me to do that."

The consequence of refusing to relinquish that dignity is utter defeat.

From becoming too powerful to be controlled, to the collapse of the army's morale, and finally to the point of no return.

The battle ended quickly.

Even before many people noticed, Xiang Yu had already begun cleaning up the battlefield.

"Despite having fewer troops, they always maintained the advantage and were able to break through the encirclement no matter what. On the contrary, the side with more troops seemed to be being toyed with."

Old Zhu didn't quite understand.

Why did the war develop in this way?

"They are the same person, so naturally their knowledge and skills are the same."

"Yet even under these circumstances, the group with more people still suffered a crushing defeat. Doesn't this mean that in front of Xiang Ji, having more people is actually a disadvantage?"

If that's the case, then how did Xiang Yu lose the battle at Gaixia?

"I have a lot to say about this."

"First of all, the military situation seems unsolvable, but in fact, as long as you find a way to break the morale of his army, it will collapse on its own."

"The siege of Gaixia and the song of Chu on all sides served this purpose."

"When Xiang Ji's cavalry was at its peak, he could defeat my 500,000-strong army with only 30,000 men. But when their morale collapsed, even 100,000 men were nothing more than easy prey!"

"But, I mean, if."

"If you can't break the morale of his army, then someone like Han Xin also has a chance to win, provided that you have a large enough army to wear him down."

"Of course, if you have neither the ability to weaken his morale nor the ability of Han Xin and enough soldiers."

"Then the next one to break through 500,000 with 30,000 will be you. I have high hopes for you!"

Liu Bang's words left many people present speechless.

However, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand.

If one cannot have strong enough morale, then having a large number of people will only be a burden.

Just like the result of the previous clashes between the two Xiang Yus.

The morale of the side leading tens of thousands of men began to decline after failing to gain an advantage in the first wave of attacks.

Emotions on the battlefield are contagious.

With the enemy gradually weakened, the outcome of this battle became a foregone conclusion.

"Hmm... how should I put it? The rewards the First Emperor received this time are a bit too easy, they're making us a little envious!"

Old Zhu was envious.

It was because he had anticipated how difficult it would be for him to participate in this challenge.

Seeing how easily Ying Zhengsheng had won, he felt somewhat unconvinced.

"What's there to be envious of? When we participate in the challenges of our own dynasty, the difficulty will be much lower. It's normal for the First Emperor to be like this."

"Instead of thinking about these trivial things, why not consider how embarrassing it would be if the immortals continued to compile a list of wise rulers and the founding emperor wasn't on it?"

After Li Er said this, Zhu Di fell silent.

One of them had killed too many people, and the other was a feudal lord who usurped the throne.

They weren't really confident about ranking the wise rulers!

Li Yuan: "...You bastard, who are you implying?!"
