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

A divine general?

If he really is a divine general, that would be wonderful!

Thinking of that person, Zhu Di felt both annoyed and amused.

But now, there's no need for him to reveal the truth.

The writing on the sky slowly changed.

Li Jinglong, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty!

In the first year of the Jianwen reign, Zhu Di had just raised the banner of pacifying the rebellion when Zhu Yunwen dispatched Li Jinglong with a large army to suppress the rebellion.

When he led an army of 500,000 to attack Beiping, he encountered Zhu Gaochi's strong defense of the city.

Just as they were about to capture the city gate, they were forced to retreat because Li Longji was wary of the general who was attacking the city.

After missing this best opportunity, Zhu Di led his army back to reinforce the city. He led his elite cavalry as the vanguard at Zhengcunba and broke through eight of Li Jinglong's camps in one battle.

At the same time, Zhu Gaochi also led his troops out to attack.

With only tens of thousands of soldiers attacking from both sides, Li Jinglong's 500,000 troops were utterly defeated and forced to abandon their supplies and retreat overnight.

Old Zhu: “…”

This guy can actually be called a war god?!

"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing."

"This man truly lives up to his name as a war god. Five hundred thousand men were slaughtered by tens of thousands, leaving them routed and even losing their supplies!"

"It would be very difficult to find a war god in this world who can compare with him!"

Liu Bang burst into laughter.

Let alone the God of War.

He simply picked one of the founding generals of the Han Dynasty at random.

No, just pick any adjutant, or even just any one of their confidants.

Even if they were thrown onto the battlefield of the Jingnan Rebellion to face Zhu Di, they would never have been able to make the battle so ugly!

That's a full 500,000 troops!

It also carries the prestige of the imperial court.

No matter what bizarre things Zhu Yunwen did, as long as he remained on the throne, he would always be in the right!

Even though Zhu Di's official cause was to quell the rebellion and purge the court of corrupt officials, in the eyes of most people, he was still a rebel!

A person who led a righteous army against rebels, outnumbered and outgunned, and still managed to achieve this result in this battle, truly deserves to be called a talent!

This is something that most people would find difficult to do!

Emperor Li Longji during the Yongle era: "..."

He blinked his innocent eyes and looked at Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, my abilities are far more than this. It's just that I already wanted to defect at that time, but I was forced by the greater good to do so. Do you believe me?"

Believe it?

Zhu Di looked disgusted.

I believe you for a second!

Do you think I don't know your own worth?

If you told me you had thoughts of switching sides later on, I might believe you.

But at that time, the campaign to quell the rebellion had just begun, and even Zhu Di himself did not believe he could succeed.

You're dreaming!

"Duke Cao, everyone knows you are capable, so please step down."

Seeing Zhu Di's disdainful expression, an official beside him tugged at Li Jinglong's sleeve.

If you weren't capable, how could you lose every battle so smoothly?

"You look down on me too? But that was really an accident back then."

Li Jinglong wanted to cry but had no tears.

He felt that if things continued like this, the title of the Great Ming War God would truly follow him for the rest of his life.

"Alright, my dear minister, there's no need for further words. Your contributions are indispensable to my ascension to the throne."

Ultimately, it was Zhu Di who made the final judgment on his abilities.

To be honest, Zhu Di felt extremely fortunate after seeing the immortals' inventory.

If Zhu Yunwen hadn't insisted on using Li Jinglong as the head coach, it's hard to say what his fate would have been.

After Li Jinglong suffered a crushing defeat, instead of apologizing, he resorted to sophistry.

As a result, Zhu Yunwen not only did not punish him, but also felt that he did not have enough power in the army to command the army, which led to the defeat.

Therefore, during the second battle, Zhu Yunwen bestowed upon him a yellow battle-axe and bow and arrows to maintain his status and prestige in the army.

With Zhu Yunwen's trust, Li Jinglong was once again full of confidence.

The 600,000-strong army clashed head-on with Zhu Di's 100,000-strong army again at the Baigou River.

The result was still a crushing defeat.

All the baggage was abandoned, along with more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers.

Of the 600,000-strong army, only a little over 100,000 remnants managed to escape with him.

Everyone: "..."

If we consider a force of 500,000 against a force of tens of thousands, Zhu Di's army still had the advantage of terrain.

How else can Li Jinglong find an excuse for the battle at Baigou River?

Isn't this guy just a complete piece of trash?

Six hundred thousand against one hundred thousand!

"Even 600,000 pigs couldn't have fought like this!"

"Only a hundred thousand or so defeated soldiers remain? If they were truly six hundred thousand pigs, at least half of them would have escaped while fleeing in all directions!"

"I am now quite curious about this person. How exactly did he do it?"

Liu Bang's words were no longer just a simple mockery.

He was eager to know what was going on in this person's head.

"Liu Bang, you're not much better than him. You haven't forgotten so quickly how you commanded an army of over 500,000 to stop the flow of the Sui River, have you?"

Xiang Yu said calmly.

"My situation back then was quite different from his!"

Liu Bang was so angry that his face turned red.

If it were any other time, he would have tolerated Xiang Yu's provocations and let it pass.

But not now!

If he doesn't explain now, won't he also be labeled a war god like Li Jinglong?

"At that time, my army of over 500,000 was a coalition of feudal lords. I did have the authority to make decisions, but the command was in their respective hands!"

"That's why they crumbled at the first encounter with your cavalry, and even ended up fleeing in disarray!"

"If it were my current Han army, let alone 500,000, even 300,000 would be enough to surround and kill your 30,000 cavalry!"

The conditions offered by the two sides are completely different!

Liu Bang believed that if he had absolute command authority, the battle would never have been fought so disgracefully!

Even if he were given the chance to switch places with Li Jinglong, Zhu Di would never have had a chance to leave Shuntian Prefecture!

Don't take him, Liu Bang, for granted!

Apart from Han Xin, there were very few people under his command who dared to say that they were better than Liu Bang in terms of battle command!

"Heh, you'll still have a chance later on, and then what?"

Later?

Upon seeing Xiang Yu's words, Liu Bang fell into deep thought.

That seems to be true.

On any frontal battlefield where Xiang Yu was present, neither he nor Han Xin ever won.

Even in the final Battle of Gaixia, Han Xin tried his best to avoid Xiang Yu's direct confrontation.

Xiang Yu even broke through the encirclement of 600,000 troops.

If it weren't for the strategy of "surrounded by enemies on all sides," which rendered the Chu army devoid of any will to fight, the Chu-Han Contention might not have ended.

From this perspective...

I was no match for Xiang Yu on the main battlefield.

Han Xin was no match for Xiang Yu on the main battlefield as well.

Therefore, I am equal to Han Xin!

With this in mind, Liu Bang's idea suddenly became clear!

It seems that I, too, have the potential to become a military genius!

However, Han Xin's brilliance is so great that it overshadows my own!

Yes, that must be the case!
