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

"Liu Bei, do you really trust Zhuge Liang that much?"

Cao Cao suddenly asked from the sky.

"Naturally, with Kongming by my side, I am like a fish in water. We are a perfect match as ruler and minister, without the slightest doubt!"

Liu Bei did not hesitate.

Upon hearing this, some people were reluctant to believe it.

"Not a single doubt?"

"Then how come I heard that when Zhuge Liang entrusted his son to Zhuge Liang at Baidi City, you secretly planted five hundred axemen, so that as soon as Zhuge Liang showed any intention of establishing himself, the axemen would rush out and hack him to death?"

Sima Yan said he did not believe it.

"You scoundrels from the Sima family, your whole family is filthy, so you think everyone else is filthy too?"

Most emperors of later generations had little affection for the Jin Dynasty.

The ever-straightforward Old Zhu went straight for the curses.

It was so powerful that even high-ranking officials and scholars couldn't find a place to flatter them, and in the end, they could only say, "I humbly submit that the Holy Dynasty governs the world with filial piety."

Loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and trustworthiness—if you were to nitpick over the words, you could only find the word "filial piety." Only the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty could truly embody this!

Liu Bei pointed at himself, completely bewildered.

"Me? Ambushing five hundred axemen?"

Zhuge Liang was also completely confused.

"You want me to ambush you with another five hundred axemen?"

Let alone five hundred, even five would be a waste!

"Heh, there's no point in talking to those rats from the Jin Dynasty!"

Zhao Kuangyin also looked at him with disdain.

"The great fire at Yiling burned down all of Shu's resources. Under such circumstances, let alone ambushing axemen to kill Zhuge Liang, in our opinion, if Zhuge Liang showed any sign of not wanting to take over and wanting to go elsewhere, then the axemen should have rushed up and killed Liu Shan, so that Zhuge Liang could have been crowned emperor!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "..."

"Old Zhu, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"Anyway, we don't think it's an exaggeration. When it comes to historical records, ten thousand people will have ten thousand different opinions. But we despise those who slander famous ministers who will be remembered for all time!"

Old Zhu said irritably.

Looking at the debate among those people on the sky, Cao Cao, who had asked the question, fell silent.

A harmonious relationship between ruler and subject.

In the past, he had countless capable ministers under his command.

However, some people left him, while others, as his power grew stronger, became increasingly alienated from him.

What's most infuriating is that there's this old guy who lives longer than a tortoise!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Guards, drag Sima Yi away and beat him!"

"Don't kill him! Beat him half to death first, then we'll call the imperial physician to treat him!"

Sima Yi: "?"

"Any other dynasty, even the Song dynasty, we can think that Zhao Heizi died too early, otherwise they would also have the power to recover the lost territories. But your Jin dynasty, hehe."

Old Zhu snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The Jin Dynasty, however, was unique in that, aside from the fact that its accession to the throne was illegitimate, it was plagued by the War of the Eight Princes and the subsequent invasion of China by the Five Barbarian Tribes.

There's absolutely nothing about it that's pleasing to the eye!

The Three Kingdoms period exhausted the heroic spirit, while the Jin Dynasty was full of scoundrels!

"It's not worth getting so angry over such a lowly creature. I'm quite curious now."

"Xiao He and Zhang Liang were, after all, still normal people, but Han Xin..."

"Could Li Er use the same method to subdue Han Xin?"

Compared to the argument on the sky, Zhao Kuangyin was clearly more concerned with the content of the sky itself.

Xiao He was the kind of person who was frustrated and unfulfilled. If you painted a rosy picture for him, analyzed the general situation of the world, and revealed your own ambition, he would naturally rush over excitedly.

Zhang Liang also had his weaknesses.

His biggest weakness is his single-minded devotion to overthrowing Qin and restoring Han. If we can grasp this point, it won't be difficult to recruit him into our group.

However, Han Xin was not only arrogant, but also had ridiculously high standards.

When he finally emerged from seclusion, he chose Xiang Liang, but after Xiang Liang's death, he switched allegiance to Xiang Yu.

In reality, Liu Bang was the backup option after the first choice was not adopted.

Subduing such an arrogant troublemaker is far more difficult than dealing with the previous two.

With his attention drawn back, Old Zhu rubbed his stubble.

"I think Li Er won't use the same method. He should understand the principle of treating people differently based on their status. Han Xin isn't cut out for flatbread."

A pie can be drawn on the canvas for those with ideals and ambitions.

But Han Xin was clearly not that kind of person. He was convinced that he could achieve great things, and he did not have the heavy burden of restoring Han like Zhang Liang did.

He's the kind of person who'd rather live a tough life than give up his position for a lower price!

Especially before he suffered a setback in the Chu army camp, it was the time when he was most proud and unyielding!

How can you persuade someone like this?

Countless people are eagerly anticipating what answer Li Er will give from the sky.

They rushed to Huaiyin.

Li Er was asking someone about Han Xin's whereabouts when he saw that person point a finger.

"It's right there, right where that butcher is blocking the way."

In this small city of Huaiyin, Han Xin was quite a celebrity.

Many people mocked him for his love of swordsmanship but his inability to afford food.

There were quite a few people who bullied him.

Even though Han Xin tried his best not to provoke anyone, he still couldn't avoid being approached by busybodies.

Just like now.

"Han Xin, you carry a sword every day but never draw it. Why don't you sell it to me? I'll treat you to a few meals. What do you say?"

The butcher stood blocking the bridge, and two other men behind Han Xin blocked his retreat.

"The sword is not drawn because it is not yet time to draw it. I have not provoked you. Let me pass."

Han Xin responded with indifference.

"Not ready to be drawn yet? Heh, in my opinion, the fact that this sword has come under your control is its greatest disgrace."

"It's not that I'm mocking you, but who in Huaiyin doesn't know that you, Han Xin, are a good-for-nothing who can't even afford to eat?"

"Alright then, I'll stand right here today. If you dare to draw your sword and stab me, I'll admit you're not a coward. If you don't dare, then either crawl between my legs or give me that sword!"

As he spoke, he lifted his leg and stepped onto the stone block beside him.

For a moment, the situation remained deadlocked.

Everyone watched Han Xin with great interest. Most people guessed that, having suffered such humiliation, if Han Xin still had any backbone, he should have drawn his sword and fought back.

Li Er also watched quietly from the side.

Looking at the surprised gazes of those around him, and watching Han Xin slowly bend down.

"Can you tell me why you are unwilling to draw your sword?"

Just as Han Xin was about to fall down as recorded in history books, Li Er suddenly spoke.

"Nothing to do with you."

Han Xin was unwilling to acknowledge this unfamiliar face.

Li Er, however, persisted and took two steps forward.

"You should understand the principle that righteousness cannot govern wealth, and compassion cannot govern an army. Or am I overestimating you?"

Han Xin: “…”

"And then what? I did not command troops, nor did I refrain from drawing my sword out of mercy."

"What if I were to put you in command of troops?"

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Han Xin's eyes.

"You want me to command troops? After Qin unified the six kingdoms, there was no war anywhere except at the border. And Meng Tian was stationed at the border. Even if you were really a member of the court, what troops would you give me to command?"
