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

To say that the backbone of the Han Dynasty relied entirely on Liu Che might be an exaggeration.

But at least he was the one who truly began to take the initiative against countries outside the Great Wall!

Before him, the Han Dynasty could only rely on its borders for passive defense.

After him, whenever the Han army marched out of the pass, all the countries were in a state of panic and sent envoys to confirm his presence and submit to him.

In the past, the Han Dynasty suffered repeated defeats against the Xiongnu, and the civil and military officials in the court were almost completely demoralized.

Even though the Han Dynasty suffered repeated defeats, it never lacked the courage to fight again!

This is the spirit of the mighty Han, the pride of the mighty Han!

"That is indeed the case. Before Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty always tended to use appeasement to deal with foreign enemies."

"No monarch has ever truly been determined to solve the problems beyond the pass."

"It was from the reign of Emperor Wu of Han that the Han Dynasty truly stood up."

Old Zhu spoke another truth.

But something didn't seem right to Liu Bang when he heard this.

It was only from the reign of Emperor Wu of Han that the Han Dynasty truly stood up. And what about you, sir?

How could the mighty Emperor Gaozu of Han be kneeling?

Damn it, it would have been better if Old Zhu hadn't said anything, because once he opened his mouth, he was stabbing people in the back!

"Emperor Gaozu of Han, what Old Zhu said is actually not too wrong."

"Look at what the Han Dynasty was like before Emperor Wu of Han. And look at what the Han Dynasty was like after Emperor Wu of Han?"

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.

As the handwriting was updated, sounds also came from the sky.

The two heroes, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, won their first victory against the Xiongnu.

From then on, the Han Dynasty launched numerous proactive attacks, rapidly expanding its territory!

"Losing my Yanzhi Mountain makes my women lose their beauty; losing my Qilian Mountain makes my livestock cease to thrive."

The tone was strange, and the language was incomprehensible to most people.

But this did not stump the emperors who had arranged for translators well in advance.

"This must refer to what happened in the second year of Yuanshou. The Marquis of Champion first broke through Yanzhi Mountain, then broke through Qilian Mountain, killing countless enemies. He killed so many that the Xiongnu would flee at the mere mention of his name or the sight of his banner!"

"However, we are a little curious. Wei Qing was in charge of large-scale military operations, and their provisions were provided by the imperial court. But Huo Qubing was not so lucky. He went deep into the grasslands. Where did their provisions come from?"

Old Zhu did not see a detailed record of this in historical books.

"Old Zhu, you must be a skilled commander, don't you think?"

Li Er spoke softly.

Those skilled in leading troops should all know this.

Deep inside enemy territory, logistical support is impossible to keep up, and enemies are everywhere you look.

In this situation, what other methods could be used to successfully resupply and advance straight to the enemy's stronghold?

There is only one way.

"Fighting to feed war?"

Old Zhu pondered for a moment and then suddenly realized.

Yes, only with such methods could they have the opportunity to advance unstoppably despite insufficient supplies!

The image of the grassland flashed by in the sky.

"General, we've captured quite a few prisoners. Should we take them with us?"

Faced with the deputy general's questioning, the young, somewhat immature face in the video was full of determination.

"Our army has only found this much supply, and this battle requires speed. Bringing them along will only slow us down, and may even lead to our defeat."

"What do you think?"

A single rhetorical question has already decided the fate of countless people.

"But if the killing goes too far, won't it offend the natural order?"

"You should think of it this way: their slaughter of our border people is against the natural order, and we are their retribution!"

The screen went completely black again.

Old Zhu knew that his thinking was mostly correct.

We will fight to sustain our war effort and take no prisoners.

This is the source of the confidence that allowed this champion to so easily roam the grasslands, even strike at the heart of the enemy, and seal the wolf's lair!

For the Han Dynasty, they were a lone army, a surprise force.

But to the Xiongnu, they were like the scythe of death, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake!

[The champion, Huo Qubing, marched straight to the heart of the enemy and performed the Fengshan ceremony on behalf of Emperor Wu of Han at Langjuxu Mountain.]

Marquis Changping, Wei Qing, defeated the main force of the Xiongnu deep in the northern desert.

The two great heroes of the Han Dynasty almost completely crippled the most troublesome enemy of the Han Dynasty in the first hundred years!

From that time onward, the Han Dynasty truly became the powerful nation the world spoke of!

At this point, the scene changed again.

"The head of the King of Nanyue is already hanging at the northern gate of the Han capital. If the Chanyu can fight, the Emperor will personally lead the troops to the border. If he cannot, he should quickly come and submit. Why should he just flee and hide in the cold and harsh land of the northern desert?"

After crippling the Xiongnu and destroying Nanyue, Liu Che's confidence had swelled to an unprecedented level.

This time, he personally led an army of 180,000 to conquer the northern desert.

It was said to be a personal expedition, but in reality it was a show of force.

This message was a declaration of war sent by his messenger to the Xiongnu Chanyu.

Upon receiving this challenge, the Chanyu was furious.

In a fit of anger, he continued his northward migration, leaving Liu Che no chance to launch an attack!

Looking at the Xiongnu Chanyu's reaction from outside the sky, Old Zhu almost burst out laughing.

This anger really comes from the heart!

"This is my glorious Han Dynasty!"

Tears welled up in Liu Bei's eyes.

As he grew older, whenever he saw the Han Dynasty at its peak, he could only blame himself for his incompetence in not being able to restore the Han Dynasty!

Before they could continue marveling, the words on the sky disappeared, and the image reappeared.

Anyone with eyes can see that the scene shown is of the northern desert region.

On the boundless grassland, an old man stands expressionless as he herds sheep.

From his eyes, everyone saw resentment.

It is not difficult to see that this old man is a Han Chinese, but why would he appear in the northern desert to herd sheep for the Xiongnu?

Su Wu, appointed as a general and given the authority to act as an envoy to the Xiongnu, was forced to remain there to herd sheep for nineteen years.

Liu Bang, beaming with pride, was about to boast when he saw this subtitle.

What does "几" mean?

Wasn't it said that Emperor Wu of Han's Han Dynasty was incredibly powerful and only good at bullying others?

How come our own envoy was captured and forced to herd sheep?

Why don't you send troops to attack?

"What a disgrace! We've brought shame to the Liu family again."

Liu Bang covered his face and sighed deeply.

Fortunately, I hadn't said those boastful things yet.

Upon seeing his statement, many people were speechless.

What the hell are you doing here in Versailles?

Don't you know why Su Wu herded sheep?

Oh, it seems I really don’t know.

"Emperor Gaozu of Han, how should I put it? Su Wu was herding sheep among the Xiongnu, so the Han Dynasty's military campaign can hardly be considered to have a legitimate cause."

"At that time, the Xiongnu took the initiative to seek peace, so Emperor Wu of Han sent Su Wu and Zhang Sheng as envoys."

"However, the Xiongnu Chanyu's attitude was perhaps a bit poor at the time, and there was also an internal rebellion, so the deputy envoy Zhang Sheng wanted to get involved and kidnap the Chanyu's mother to present to Emperor Wu..."

Liu Bang: "?"

The Xiongnu are seeking peace and have sent you as an envoy. Are you going to kidnap their mother and offer her to the emperor?

You're a real talent!
