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

"There are still quite a few?"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment.

So, did the Han Dynasty of later generations become this barbaric?

"There's no other way. We're a nation of etiquette; if we want to send troops, we need a legitimate reason, right?"

"But what pretext could Emperor Wu of Han use to launch a military campaign? The only campaign he had was the Siege of Baideng, which had already crippled the Xiongnu. If he wanted to launch another campaign against other countries, he could only rely on envoys."

Zhu Di was also helpless.

Before he left the northern desert, he searched through history books all night long in order to find a legitimate reason for his expedition, and several of them were worn out from reading so many books!

In a country known for its etiquette, everyone does it this way; he can't very well be different.

So what else?

Liu Bang blinked his bewildered eyes.

He had considered that his descendants would go beyond the border to fight the Xiongnu, to avenge himself and the humiliations suffered by the Han Dynasty.

But I never imagined they could be this powerful!

"What else?"

"Hasn't the immortal already demonstrated it? Just look for yourself."

Ying Zheng said irritably.

At this moment, the scene on the sky had changed.

This time, the scene takes place in the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty.

"I have heard that Dayuan is famous for its Ferghana horses. If our Han Dynasty could have a cavalry force equipped with such fine steeds, we would be invincible. What do you think, my esteemed ministers?"

What do you think?

"We can send envoys directly to buy some back; they shouldn't dare refuse such a small country."

One of the ministers immediately chimed in without hesitation.

"Then we shall do as you say, my dear minister."

Liu Che waved his hand, and the matter was settled just like that.

Immediately, a eunuch went down to draft an imperial edict.

The envoy received the order and set off, completing the task in one go.

The process was so smooth that Liu Bang almost didn't understand it.

"What, why are we leaving so soon? Shouldn't we discuss this further?"

"This is a diplomatic mission to another country, a very important matter!"

"And wasn't the mission to buy horses? The envoy and his attendant don't look like they're carrying any silver at all."

Is sending someone to another country such a momentous matter too frivolous?

With such an attitude towards buying horses, would the Kingdom of Dayuan really be willing to sell them to them?

Liu Bang was now filled with questions.

It wasn't until Old Zhu spoke up quietly that his doubts were answered.

"Your Majesty, you don't really think they went to buy horses obediently, do you?"

If you think that way, then you're incredibly naive!

At this point, the big man had completely let himself go.

Do you expect them to pay for things?

Ha ha!

The next moment, the scene on the sky quickly changed to the Kingdom of Dayuan.

It was already time for the arrival of the Han envoy.

To Liu Bang's astonishment, the envoy brazenly barged into the palace of Dayuan.

Aren't you being a little too arrogant?

Without even announcing their arrival, they just barged in with the big man's seal?

Ironically, none of the palace guards from Dayuan actually dared to go up and stop them.

This is a mighty Han Chinese!

If they really offended the envoy, none of them could afford the consequences!

And so, the most bizarre situation arose.

While the Dayuan rulers and their ministers were still holding a court meeting, an arrogant figure walked into their main hall.

The figure glanced casually at the hall, then his expression turned even more disdainful.

He casually spat, took out the seal from his pocket with one hand, and pointed at the King of Dayuan with the other.

"An envoy from the Celestial Empire has come on the Emperor's orders. Why do you not kneel to welcome him?"

The King of Dayuan: "?"

The officials below: "???"

Deceiving too much!

Immediately, someone called for the guards outside the palace to apprehend this madman.

But to everyone's surprise, the messenger took back the seal first, and then sighed as if in helplessness.

“Barbarians are simply ignorant of etiquette. You should be grateful that I, the magistrate, am magnanimous and will not stoop to your level.”

"I am here today on the Emperor's orders to buy your Ferghana horses. This is a great favor from the Emperor, and I hope you will not be ungrateful."

Upon hearing this, King Wu Gua of Dayuan frowned.

Their Ferghana bordered the Xiongnu, and their Ferghana horses were often directly supplied to the Xiongnu.

If they cooperate with the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu will probably not let them go.

Thinking of this, he spoke.

"I wonder how much the Emperor of the Celestial Empire is willing to pay for the Ferghana horse?"

No matter what the Han envoy said, he was prepared to increase it tenfold, hoping that the envoy would realize he had to give up the idea.

But to everyone's surprise, the messenger reached into his pocket and pulled out about ten copper coins.

"That's all. The Emperor has decreed it, so you shouldn't be stingy. Here are three thousand Ferghana horses for now. If it's not enough later, we'll come back to you to buy more."

A dozen or so copper coins!

Coupled with such arrogant words, not only Wu Gua, but also the surrounding ministers were instantly driven to the brink of madness.

This is pure humiliation!

I know that your Han Dynasty is powerful and has destroyed many countries, but so what?

"Are you insulting my Great Yuan Kingdom?"

Wu Gua narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone becoming increasingly dangerous.

"So what if we're insulted? What makes a tiny country like ours think it can turn the world upside down?"

"It is an honor for our Celestial Empire to take your horses. If you refuse, beware of the arrival of our mighty Han army!"

The envoy seemed completely oblivious to the murderous intent in his words, instead making no attempt to conceal his direct threat.

"Very well, I'd like to see how your heavenly army will manage to reach my Great Yuan!"

"Men, drag this madman away and behead him!"

Wu Gua turned away and did not look at the messenger again.

"Cut me?"

"Would it do any good to cut me?"

"Did you really think I came here today to buy a horse with just a dozen or so copper coins?"

"Fools, my real bargaining chips are your country, your lives!"

"A bunch of useless trash, hahahaha, a bunch of useless trash!"

"Just wait, the heavenly army of the Great Han is coming, they will avenge me. I may die, but it will be worth it if all of you are buried with me!"

As he was being dragged away, the burly man's messenger continued to hurl insults.

Beyond the sky.

Liu Bang's mouth was wide open, and after what seemed like an eternity, he finally turned to look at Xiao He.

"Your Majesty, is this...so arrogant?"

"Even if they are truly confident, the envoy shouldn't just throw his life away like this, should he?"

Xiao He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Your Majesty, do you think the reason this envoy is so arrogant is that he wants to use his own death to give the Han Dynasty a legitimate reason for fighting?"

"But Dayuan is so far away from the Han Dynasty, and it is separated by the Western Qiang and the Western Regions. Is it too far-fetched to send troops to conquer it from such a long distance?"

Liu Bang scratched his head, feeling that this deal wasn't worthwhile.

But someone on the sky had already answered his question.

"The Han Dynasty suffered considerable losses in this battle, but it was absolutely worthwhile!"

"The Ferghana horses were introduced to the Central Plains, and from then on, the Han cavalry was no less powerful than the Xiongnu. On the main battlefields of the grasslands, those countries outside the Great Wall could no longer gain any advantage!"

"The sacrifice of tens of thousands of people is for the continuation of the Akhal-Teke horse. No matter who is in charge, they should be unable to refuse this deal, right?"
