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

"Why not just kill them?"

Xiang Yu arrived first, perched atop the cliffs on either side of the canyon.

Killing the Xiongnu commander-in-chief should also be considered a great achievement.

However, Han Xin only glanced at him.

"These achievements are all for you. I, the commander, disdain to compete with others. Without your charge and cutting off the Xiongnu army's banner, we could not have won so easily."

Han Xin didn't consider his near-perfect cooperation with Xiang Yu in the encirclement and suppression as a merit.

Only a mediocre person would try to take credit for this, and only a fool would miss such a golden opportunity.

"I am not in a hurry for meritorious service. I have countless opportunities to achieve great things, such as sealing the wolf's lair and drinking from the vast sea."

"What I want to know most now is, didn't you previously doubt that I could break through the enemy camp? Why did you make these arrangements in advance?"

This was the point that Xiang Yu was most curious about.

The current troop deployment above the canyon is not something that can be arranged in time for a last-minute decision.

"Although His Majesty only gave 100,000 troops, there were already 50,000 soldiers within the border. Wouldn't it be a waste not to make use of them?"

Han Xin said calmly.

"The Xiongnu have traveled a long distance, while our army is well-rested and ready to fight. Fifty thousand troops are enough to hold the border. So, while you were drawing the enemy's attention, I took advantage of the situation and dispersed my one hundred thousand troops, bypassing the Xiongnu right under their noses."

"I never expected you to be so brave as to break through the enemy camp."

His original plan was that as long as the border could withstand two or three rounds of attacks from the Xiongnu, when their morale was low, he would send out 100,000 troops from the rear, which would also give him a chance to win the battle.

Xiang Yu's bravery was truly beyond his expectations.

"So even if I don't volunteer, you'll still send me to provoke the enemy and draw their attention?"

Xiang Yu was somewhat impressed.

He used to think that Han Xin had gained Li Er's trust and the honor of being granted a title because he had followed him for a long time.

Now it seems that his abilities are truly amazing!

“If you don’t volunteer for the battle, I won’t send you. After all, you are a general appointed by His Majesty. Who knows what kind of relationship you have?”

Han Xin said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu slowly typed a question mark.

What is our relationship?

Brother, you're only good at things like leading troops and deploying troops; you're completely clueless about everything else.

If I had a connection with Li Er, would I still be only a minor general in the State of Chu?

I reckon that once they return to the capital in triumph, the Chu army will be stripped of its military power, and even the deputy generals will soon lose their positions!

You call this having a relationship with His Majesty?

Are there people like me with connections who are almost out of a job?

This is precisely why Xiang Yu desperately wanted to prove himself.

If I don't prove myself, I really won't be able to find a job when I go back!

Fortunately, before he could refute, Han Xin changed the subject.

"Of course, now it seems you're not a fake."

"So I won't take credit for what belongs to you."

"The Xiongnu army is far more than just 200,000. If we want to achieve His Majesty's requirements and seal the Wolf Mountain, we will have many more merits to achieve along the way."

"General Xiang, I'm leaving this place to you. Once you've dealt with the aftermath, come back to the pass and find me. I'll personally lead your troops deep into enemy territory."

……

"How should I put it? I feel that Li Er's decision to have these two join forces shows that he had no intention of leaving the Xiongnu any way out!"

Zhao Kuangyin was astonished.

Even though he had initially held the two in high regard, after this battle, he realized that he had underestimated them.

They underestimated Xiang Yu's bravery.

Leading three thousand soldiers, he dared to charge into a camp of thirty thousand men, and he even dared to charge into the formation of an army of two hundred thousand!

Break through the enemy lines, slay the generals, and seize the flag—all in one swift motion!

It went so smoothly that he began to wonder if these Huns were actually made of clay.

They also underestimated Han Xin's strategic planning skills.

He exploited the Huns' contempt for him.

The Xiongnu instinctively felt that the soldiers of the Central Plains would only retreat and defend, and even if a general occasionally went out to fight, it was only a minority.

They never imagined that there would be such an arrogant general as Han Xin, who would do the opposite and concentrate a large number of troops outside the pass, on the route of retreat behind them!

They underestimated the unspoken understanding between these two top commanders.

Almost at the moment they met and the great banner was severed, Han Xin's prepared feint was already in place.

By using a feint to surround three sides, the Xiongnu army, which was on the verge of collapse, was forced to the location of the missing ambush!

"Although every dynasty has its skilled warriors, there are not many who can be so proficient in military strategy and use it so freely."

"Han Xin truly deserves the title of 'God of War' and is also worthy of being called an unparalleled national hero!"

"As for Xiang Yu, needless to say, his bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages; those eight words are enough to describe his prowess!"

Old Zhu was generous with his praise.

Before today, countless people fell into the hands of the Xiongnu, unable to live or die.

Regardless of Xiang Yu and Han Xin's motives for their northern expedition against the Xiongnu, a gentleman judges by their actions, not their intentions.

Since they did it, and did it so perfectly, they deserve praise in any sense!

"So, don't mythologize the Xiongnu too much. They were human too, and they could die if they were cut by a sword."

"I don't know what's wrong with certain people and certain dynasties. For so long, they couldn't even recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, and they lost more than half of their land. In the end, they were destroyed by the Mongol Yuan dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin: "..."

I don't think I've been contradicting you, have I?

You can't speak unless you hit someone where it hurts, can you?

He wanted to curse, but didn't know where to begin.

It's all that bastard Zhao Guangyi's fault!

If he hadn't been so eager to usurp the throne, and if his descendants hadn't all been such cowards, how could the Song Dynasty have become such a coward!

Fortunately, at this moment, Liu Bang saw Xiang Yu displaying his might in the sky and couldn't help but speak up, thus avoiding Zhao Kuangyin's embarrassment.

"I have thought before, if I had a fierce general like Xiang Yu under my command, wouldn't I be able to win wherever I point?"

"It's a pity that I didn't get to experience it, but Li Er did."

As the person who knew Xiang Yu's strength best, Liu Bang looked at the scene in the sky, his tone full of envy.

"You little rascal, do you think you can compare to Li Er?"

Even if you were given a second chance, could you do it just as perfectly? Just as cleanly and efficiently?

Xiang Yu said irritably.

Upon seeing these words, Liu Bang reflected on most of his past life and realized that even if he were given a second chance, he might not be able to act as decisively as Li Er.

From beginning to end, he made almost no mistakes, and every battle he experienced was impeccable!

But who is he?

Could he possibly lose to Xiang Yu in a verbal battle?

"It's just that he's familiar with history. If everyone were to start over from scratch, could he guarantee that he would be better than Nai Gong?"

"If it were him, he would most likely fight you head-on, you beast. If he fought you for a while, you'd be dead, wouldn't you?"

Upon reading his words, Xiang Yu almost laughed in anger.

"So you think you're right just because you're a coward?!"
