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

"Can a man bend and stretch?"

Upon seeing the unintentional comment posted by Zhao Gou, Zhao Kuangyin frowned.

Which generation of his descendants is this?

How could you be so weak!

"Are you truly my descendant? How can someone so weak be worthy of being the Emperor of my Great Song Dynasty!"

After sending out a question, Zhao Gou remained silent once again.

what?

The question posed by the founding emperor?

If I can't see it, who among you can?

Zhao Gou casually glanced at everyone, but no one dared to meet his gaze directly. Only Qin Hui came closer again.

"Your Majesty need not be angry. Emperor Taizu was clearly unaware of the current predicament of the Song Dynasty. If he were here, he certainly wouldn't have a better choice either. After all, Your Majesty has already done a perfect job!"

This was yet another flattery offered, which made Zhao Gou extremely happy.

"Qin Hui, you understand me best. I believe future generations will understand my good intentions. Yue Fei deserved to die!"

The courtiers: "..."

Meanwhile, the images on the screen abruptly ended after passing through several villages.

The tragic scenes in every village were essentially the same. After witnessing countless people being treated as food and cattle, most emperors were already enraged.

Even if the people depicted in the scene are not their subjects, nor are they from their own dynasty, the anger is universal!

During Sima Zhong's reign, it could be said that he did nothing wrong. He knew he was foolish, but he could not escape blame.

It was precisely because of his weakness and inaction, allowing the empress to seize power and disrupt the court, that the Five Barbarian Invasions indirectly occurred.

The reason he was on the list was not because he didn't know how to eat meat porridge; the reason he was on the list was because he almost destroyed the entire Central Plains!

Punishment: The Empress dies suddenly, and the Empress's lifespan is reduced by ten years!

[The review is over. Challenge: End the Five Barbarian Invasions and restore a unified China.]

Note: During the respective dynasties' existence, you can choose any one person to accompany you. If the challenge is successful, the chosen person will receive half of the reward.

Note: This will not affect the current historical process. Everything the challenger does will occur in a parallel universe.

Note: This challenge is extremely difficult. An additional option has been added: you can bring any number of troops. If you bring more than 5,000 troops, the reward for this challenge will be reduced to one-tenth.

Successful challenge, reward: fifty years of lifespan, and twenty years of favorable weather for the country.

Failure to complete the challenge will result in the same punishment as Sima Zhong.

Faced with this challenge, most emperors fell silent once again.

End the Five Barbarian Invasions?

It is not difficult to see from the images in the sky that the Five Barbarians represent not just five grassland tribes, but millions of barbarian people scattered throughout the Central Plains!

To end the chaos of the Five Barbarian Invasions and restore the unified land, starting from scratch is almost impossible!

Because in this chaotic world, there aren't enough people to gather for you!

Without soldiers and weapons, one has neither the confidence nor the qualifications to contend for the world!

Even if you bring your own large army into that era, without stable logistical support, you'll likely be defeated for nothing!

In addition, there is a penalty for this challenge.

Equal to Sima Zhong!

The Empress died suddenly!

This single rule eliminated many emperors who wanted to participate.

Like Li Er and Lao Zhu.

They were willing to gamble with their own lives to enter the challenge, but they were absolutely unwilling to risk the lives of Empress Zhangsun and Empress Ma!

Even if there's only a one in a thousand chance, they would never do that!

Thus, a very bizarre scene unfolded during this third challenge.

Throughout the entire scene depicted on the screen, there was only one name.

The participant selection process was skipped, and a line of text appeared directly on the screen.

[Challenger: Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng!]

[Will you bring anyone else with you to the challenge?]

Ying Zheng looked at the light screen in front of him and nodded without hesitation.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang was able to choose Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) to participate in the challenge, then the person he had in mind should also be fine!

"White up!"

[Will you bring troops to the challenge?]

"Old Qin Army!"

Ying Zheng did not hesitate for a moment.

He always had a standard in his mind, and he knew clearly that the current strength of the Qin army was far from its peak.

The peak of Qin soldiers' combat power was when the old Qin army, with its morale soaring, had just left Hangu Pass!

[Challenge Participant: Ying Zheng; Assisting Challenger: Bai Qi!]

Bai Qi led an army: 100,000 veteran Qin soldiers!

[The challenge begins!]

"The First Emperor wasn't after the reward!"

Upon seeing this subtitle, Li Shimin was astonished.

With Ying Zheng's abilities, if he led an army of 5,000, with the help of Bai Qi, and first occupied an inconspicuous small place, then played the game of building high walls and stockpiling grain, he would definitely have a chance to drive out the Five Barbarians and reunify the country!

But he didn't do that.

Bringing an army of 100,000 means that from the very beginning, he was going there for the Five Barbarian Tribes!

"One hundred thousand Qin soldiers marched out of Hangu Pass, and the feudal lords of the world were at their mercy."

"We've been wanting to see for ourselves the strength of the Qin army!"

In the scene, the figures of Ying Zheng and Bai Qi gradually appear.

They appeared outside the last village where the previous footage had been.

Not far ahead, there were dozens of hanged corpses.

The sounds of the Hu people celebrating could still be heard from time to time in the village.

"Bai Qi, I have never met you before, but according to the records of the ancients, I have chosen you. You had better not disappoint me."

Hearing the sounds coming from the village, Ying Zheng's tone was icy.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and looked at Ying Zheng as a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

"King of Qin, no, should I call you His Majesty the First Emperor?"

"Put aside the formalities of address for now, let me see your abilities first."

Ying Zheng remained expressionless.

"The barbarians can't see my abilities, but since it's His Majesty the First Emperor's decree..."

Bai Qi slowly raised his hand, a hint of disgust showing in his gaze as he turned towards the village.

As he clenched his fist, a deafening roar erupted behind him.

"wind!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

Upon hearing this cry, Ying Zheng finally showed a hint of emotion.

The Qin army shouted for a great wind, and their advance was invincible!

This is the pride that belongs exclusively to their Great Qin!

When the Qin army made its first appearance, many people looked disappointed.

Especially Li Shimin.

He had assumed that the Qin army was an elite force like his Xuanjia army, or at least not much inferior.

Judging from the images in the sky, the so-called 100,000 Qin soldiers were poorly equipped, and most of them did not even have full armor.

Only officers of the rank of squad leader or above possessed a complete set of armor.

Is this considered the elite force of the Qin Dynasty?

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question.

How could they be swept away by such a Qin army? Could it be that the six states of the past were too weak?

Only two people noticed the solemn expressions on the faces of this old Qin army.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu!

If Bai Qi and such a terrifying Qin army had existed at the end of the Qin Dynasty, would anyone have dared to rebel? That's a question worth considering!

Strictly speaking, they were all Qin people, so they were well aware of this.

The strength of the Qin army lay not in its weapons and equipment, but in its indomitable spirit!

That's the madness of wanting to plunge the knife in one's hand into the enemy's heart, even at the cost of one's life!
