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

"Adou, although I have taught you not to do evil even if it is small, if such a scoundrel could be killed, that would be a great act of kindness!"

Even Liu Bei, who is generally considered a good-natured person, has spoken out against it.

Although the criticism wasn't harsh, even he couldn't stand it, which almost means that throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, very few emperors could agree with Zhao Gou's behavior.

Aside from Zhao Gou's father and his brother.

But faced with the condemnation of countless emperors, neither of them dared to be the first to speak out at this time, and could only watch quietly.

After the scene switched to Xiang Yu, it seemed as if he could see the comments posted by the emperors.

After capturing the old capital Bianjing, he didn't even have time to recruit and train soldiers. He took his own troops and had the local people lead the way as he marched straight for Lin'an!

Among these people, some expressed a desire to join the army and avenge Yue Fei personally.

However, Xiang Yu refused all of these requests.

He was too lazy to train a new recruit from scratch.

Moreover, he didn't have the patience to wait that long.

Zhao Gou must be getting impatient by now!

These hundreds of civilians led Xiang Yu along a shortcut.

When they encountered a city that they couldn't avoid, some people would disguise themselves as ordinary merchants and trick the city gates into opening under the cover of night, allowing Xiang Yu's army to drive straight in.

In just over a month, Xiang Yu had already arrived at the gates of Lin'an.

At this moment, those clearing the way for him were far more than just the hundreds of people in Bianjing.

In almost every city they arrived in, local people would spontaneously follow their procession.

These people are not rebels, nor do they want to rebel.

They just wanted to survive.

This is the simplest and most basic wish.

Every year they work hard in the fields, but the harvest is not even enough to pay the heavy taxes!

The Song Dynasty gave them no chance to live, so they had to find another way to survive!

Tens of thousands of people gathered outside Lin'an City. Faced with this seemingly endless crowd of people, the defending general also felt immense pressure.

He could only urge his soldiers to keep the city gates tightly closed, while asking the emperor to decide how to deal with these people.

Upon receiving this news, Zhao Gou smashed everything he could get his hands on to pieces.

"How dare they! How dare they!"

"I give them food, clothing, and land to cultivate, yet they still want to follow Xiang Yu and rebel against me!"

"Prime Minister Qin, convey my decree: anyone approaching the city gates, whether civilian or Xiang Yu's army, is to be shot dead!"

"According to the order."

Qin Hui quickly relayed the imperial decree.

When the imperial edict was delivered to the general guarding the city and the prefect of Lin'an, they even had some doubts about its authenticity.

Shoot them all?

There are tens of thousands of people living below this city!

If they really dared to do this, if they really dared to slaughter the people, the historians would surely nail them all to the pillar of shame!

Moreover, even if the civilians were shot, it might not be possible to defend Lin'an!

The enemy they were about to face was none other than the unparalleled overlord Xiang Yu!

Seeing the dire situation outside the city, the prefect quickly approached Qin Hui.

"His Majesty is unwilling to move south?"

The best solution right now is to continue the southward migration.

Anyway, they've been forced to flee by the Jurchens more than once or twice, not to mention that they're now facing Xiang Yu, who is far superior to the Jurchens!

"The Jurchens were ultimately not the legitimate rulers. Even if they ceded some territory, the Central Plains still belonged to His Majesty. But Xiang Yu is different."

Qin Hui said meaningfully.

When the Jurchens ascended the throne and declared themselves emperors, neither the common people nor the pro-war faction among the civil and military officials would agree to it.

They will continue to support the Song Dynasty.

If Xiang Yu had been the one to ascend the throne, the outcome would have been entirely different.

"It can slaughter civilians..."

The prefect's face was all wrinkled up.

He'll be infamous for eternity!

"Does it matter? You should know that history is written by the victors. Historians can record that we shot and killed civilians, or that Xiang Yu coerced civilians into attacking a city, and then, in his anger after defeat, massacred them all, isn't that right?"

In Qin Hui's view, it was nothing more than having the historian make a change.

Just kidding. If it weren't for divine intervention, how could later generations possibly know that he was the one who killed Yue Fei?

"understood."

Seeing Qin Hui's resolute stance, the prefect had no choice but to lower his head in resignation.

Even a higher-ranking official can suppress someone, let alone someone like Qin Hui who could control everything.

When he returned to the city wall with the imperial decree, the people had already moved within two hundred paces of him.

In an instant, the archer drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

Just one command is needed, and the people below will suffer a terrible death!

"!?"

"He dares to shoot civilians?!"

"Who is this prefect? ​​We'll skin him alive!"

Old Zhu was furious.

Ever since the Immortals started this roundup, his mood has been like a rollercoaster.

Ups and downs, ups and downs.

Zhao Gou's series of actions made him wish he could personally take action and tear this spineless tyrant apart!

"These civilians are already considered rebels. What's wrong with shooting rebels?"

"If you ask me, these lowly people deserve to die. My Great Song gave them a place to live, yet they are not grateful and even dare to help Xiang Ji."

"They should all be shot dead!"

Zhao Ji replied matter-of-factly.

"Rebels? Do you see them even holding an inch of armor?"

"No ladders, no siege equipment, not even weapons—are they rebels?"

"Even if we let them gather under the city walls, what can they do? Can they even gnaw a single piece of the wall off with their teeth?"

Old Zhu now wants to kill not only Zhao Gou, but also Zhao Ji, who repeatedly speaks without regard for the people.

A place to settle down?

First and foremost, you have to be able to survive before you can call it a peaceful home!

If they have no way to survive, what are they doing guarding that place? Turning it into a cemetery?

Untouchables?

Old man, you better pray you don't end up on the list of tyrannical rulers, or we'll show you what cruelty really means!

Looking at the rows of dark arrows on the bowstrings in the sky, Old Zhu felt a chill in his heart.

But a moment later, the people suddenly stopped and then retreated in an orderly fashion.

Following closely behind were Xiang Yu and his Jiangdong soldiers.

"I, Xiang Ji, will win honorably and honorably!"

"I disdain sending civilians to their deaths. I can still conquer Lin'an without them!"

"Do you see the commander and the prefect of the defending army on the city wall? I will personally cut off their heads!"

"Today, I will hold a victory celebration banquet with you all in Lin'an City!"

The exact same scene.

Just like when he was at the gates of Bianjing, Xiang Yu said he would kill the generals guarding the city walls and cut down the enemy's flags.

He said it, so he can do it.

"King Xiang is mighty!"

"King Xiang is mighty!"

"King Xiang is mighty!"

Such morale inspired many people outside the canopy.

Li Er was equally amazed.

Such a general, placed in any army, would have an extremely terrifying impact on morale!

When a general leads the charge, slaying enemy generals and capturing flags, how could his soldiers not fight desperately to the death!

"I have to admit, when it comes to military strategy, Xiang Yu is truly a master!"
