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

Following Xiang Yu's promise, a small number of the people gathered in front of the palace gates left.

Those who remained looked at Xiang Yu with a sense of anticipation in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, will you avenge General Yue?"

After all the people with differing views had left, an old man couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Are you referring to seeking revenge against the Jurchens, or against the Song emperor?"

Xiang Yu asked with a hint of amusement.

"Naturally, both are present!"

A naked hatred flashed in the old man's eyes.

"If it weren't for General Yue, I'm afraid I would have died under the iron hooves of the Jurchens long ago."

"After General Yue rescued my family from the Jurchens, I managed to sneak into Bianjing City. We were just waiting for General Yue to attack the city so we could break through the Jurchen defenders and open the city gates!"

"Damn it, we were ready, General Yue was ready, and that emperor..."

These people were all self-organized. Not to mention informing Yue Fei, they didn't even know of each other's existence before they infiltrated Bianjing.

Behind the old man stood a few hundred people, each with eyes filled with hatred.

"You too?"

Xiang Yu became somewhat curious.

What exactly was the charm of Yue Fei?

How could these common people spontaneously organize themselves and risk their lives to infiltrate Bianjing for him?

This cannot be explained simply by being a hero who fought against the Jin dynasty!

“When General Yue passed through our village, if he hadn’t shared half of his rations with us, my whole family would have starved to death. If I can repay his kindness, I would gladly give up my life!”

"If it weren't for General Yue, I'm afraid no one in our village would have escaped the Jurchens' slaughter!"

"After General Yue drove the Jurchens away, he did not harm the people in the slightest, and even lent a helping hand to those in need!"

"Even if we, the hundreds of people present, were to die, we could not repay even a fraction of General Yue's kindness!"

"How hateful! We didn't die, but General Yue was killed by that treacherous minister Qin Hui and that foolish emperor!"

Before infiltrating Bianjing, they were all prepared to die for General Yue!

If it can increase the chances of victory for Yue Fei's army by even two points, then it's worth it!

If there were only one or two people like that, it would be considered normal.

But the hundreds of people in front of us all have eyes filled with hatred.

Yue Fei, what kind of person were you really?

Xiang Yu suddenly felt a little curious about this person.

"So the reason you stayed is to let me avenge him?"

"If I avenge him, will you pledge your allegiance to me?"

The hundreds of people in front of them all nodded in agreement.

"No problem! I will conquer the Helan Mountains, seal the Wolf Mountain, inscribe the Yanran Mountain, and drink from the vast sea for Yue Fei! None of that is a problem!"

"As for Qin Hui and Zhao Gou, there is a large pot that is very suitable for dealing with them."

A big pot?

"...What do you mean? Xiang Ji also had a cannibalistic streak?"

Old Zhu didn't react for a moment.

"Idiot, haven't you ever heard of cooking someone to kill them?"

Liu Bang said irritably.

His father and his entire family were nearly boiled alive by Xiang Yu.

What is meant by "cooking and killing"?

It's not about scalding a frog to death with boiling water, but rather boiling it in lukewarm water.

Even when it's almost cooked, the person might still have a breath left!

It was a death no less painful than slow slicing, and perhaps even more so!

"Now that you mention it, this method seems very suitable for Zhao Gou and Qin Hui."

"I suggest we cook these two in the same pot!"

Old Zhu laughed heartily.

"What? You want them to be a pair of star-crossed lovers even after they're dead?"

Liu Bang almost burst out laughing.

Putting two people in the same pot, that's a really damn bad idea!

"Put them in the same pot +1".

"Ten thousand people are petitioning to put those two people in the same pot!"

"It is not enough to appease public anger or quell our rage if they do not suffer a agonizing death!"

Ying Zheng, Li Er, Liu Che, and others all sent out comments.

Among the incompetent emperors previously reviewed, there were Liu Shan, an incapable ruler; Chongzhen, a ruler who blindly tried to bring about the downfall of his country; and Sima Zhong, whose wisdom remained unchanged.

But even if the first three are combined, they are far less despicable than Zhao Gou!

The first three were incompetent, but Zhao Gou was a complete spineless coward!

He doesn't even deserve to be human; he only deserves to be a dog!

Perhaps the petitions of the masses had worked, for a screen of light suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Yu.

A massive petition calls for Zhao Gou and Qin Hui to be placed in the same pot (i.e., condemned by the people).

"?"

Xiang Yu typed a question mark.

Are people in later generations all so perverse?

But I like it, no problem!

"But in the end, Xiang Ji still only had five thousand men under his command."

Although these people were eager to avenge Yue Fei, they ultimately lacked systematic training.

Among them were many elderly men, and even if they were absorbed into the army, it would be difficult for them to form an effective force.

This is the disadvantage of attacking the old capital, Bianjing, first.

This place has been controlled by the Jurchens for too long, and the number of Han Chinese people has dwindled to almost nothing.

Joking aside, and petitioning aside, Zhu Yuanzhang still had some concerns when it came to this topic.

Heaven knows if the immortal would choose someone else to take on the challenge if the challenge failed.

If this allows a dog emperor like Zhao Gou to escape punishment, then we will truly have no way to vent our anger!

"Don't you want to listen to what you're saying? Xiang Ji's five thousand soldiers could easily dominate an army of one hundred thousand on the battlefield, wouldn't you say?"

Liu Bang expressed his confusion.

Thirty thousand could tear apart the defenses of his army of over five hundred thousand; proportionally, five thousand could easily slaughter an army of one hundred thousand.

Moreover, it's not easy for the Song Dynasty to assemble an army of 100,000!

Everyone has their moment of glory, but can't you stop treating a single moment as if it's permanent?

"Do you really think my Great Song Dynasty is made of clay?"

"This mere Hegemon of Western Chu dares to so blatantly disrespect the imperial court. Just wait and see, he'll surely suffer the consequences!"

Are there still people disagreeing at this point?

Liu Bang looked at the names behind the comments.

Zhao Ji?

A name I've never heard of.

"Who let their pants down and let your thing show again? Get lost, the sight of you makes me want to vomit!"

Liu Bang and others were unaware of this, but Zhu Yuanzhang was quite knowledgeable about it.

The disgrace that Zhao Ji and his son Zhao Heng brought to the title of emperor was no less than that brought by Zhao Gou!

The "shame of Jingkang" in Yue Fei's poem refers to the humiliation brought about by these two men!

"Hmph, you uncouth man, I won't stoop to your level. Just wait and see, my Great Song Dynasty is the richest of all. Even if we pile up money, we can still crush this register!"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly.

"Having money? Is it useful?"

Li Er smiled dismissively.

If your neighbor has guns and you hoard grain, then aren't you just your neighbor's granary?

In any other dynasty, this money could have been used to recruit soldiers to fight against Xiang Yu, but in Zhao Gou's hands, it could only be sent out as compensation!

Even when facing Xiang Yu, he didn't have a chance to offer a gift!

"Furthermore, I have a feeling that you won't be able to keep this up for long. You might be next."

"I hope you can still maintain your current unruly attitude by then."
