The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.
Chapter 43: Without a five-year stroke, these decisions wouldn't have been possible!
After Zhao Huan signed a humiliating agreement with the Jin people, Zhao Ji thought the matter was over and returned to the court.
What's most chilling is that after these two got together and discussed the matter, they felt that Li Gang and others had too much control over the army, and directly stripped the pro-war officials of their military power!
He cut off both of his arms!
Having seen this, Zhao Kuangyin was no longer willing to listen to the discussions among that faction.
He drew his sword and walked up to the group.
"Take your own lives. This is the last way out I'm giving you. You don't want such trash to appear in my Great Song Dynasty, do you?"
Even though he had lost the chance to become emperor, Zhao Kuangyin still did not want these two idiots, who were worse than pigs and dogs, to appear in the Song Dynasty!
After negotiating peace with the Jin dynasty, they believed that such peace could last for a long time.
Emperor Huizong of Song (Zhao Ji) had even resumed his former extravagant lifestyle.
This father and son seemed to have forgotten the lessons the Jurchens had taught them.
However, in just six months, the Jurchens broke the alliance and marched south again.
Li Gang and other pro-war officials once again requested permission to fight.
But no one expected that after discussing the matter, Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji would make an utterly absurd decision!
"Absurd? Is there anything more absurd than winning a battle and then ceding territory and paying reparations?"
"Is there anything more absurd than calling the Jurchen emperor 'uncle'?"
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes turned green with envy.
Both times the inventory was taken, his face was rubbed to the ground.
He felt like his old face was being rubbed raw!
Zhao Huan decreed that if the local garrisons could not resist, the Jurchens could be allowed to enter the pass.
He still believed that the Jurchens had come to negotiate and demand silver.
The voices of all the pro-war officials in the court were suppressed by this father and son.
Looking across the entire court, only the appeasement faction, bowing and scraping to the Jurchens, remained!
But did the Jurchens really come to negotiate peace and demand silver?
"absurd!"
"How could this be so absurd!"
Liu Che, with his fiery temper, kicked the table in front of him, scattering the fruits and vegetables all over the floor.
"The Jurchens and the Xiongnu are the same; if you retreat one foot, they will advance ten feet!"
"This time, they want more than just peace talks involving ceding territory and paying reparations!"
The scene on the sky seemed to confirm Liu Che's words.
The Jurchens marched south unimpeded.
Emperor Qin, Zhao Huan, was now wildly superstitious and devoted to a Taoist priest.
He once boasted that he only needed 7,777 soldiers to cooperate with his Six Jia Method to defeat the Jin army.
Zhao Huan believed it without a doubt, so much so that he did not promptly recall the various armies that came to his aid.
When the Jurchen army approached the city, all seven thousand men perished under their iron hooves in a short span of time!
The Taoist priest has also disappeared without a trace.
Only then did Emperor Qin, Zhao Huan, realize that he had been deceived.
Even though the outer city of Bianjing has fallen, there are still garrison troops in the inner city.
If Li Gang and other pro-war figures are reinstated to defend the inner city and hold out until reinforcements from all sides arrive, the Jurchens will have a chance to counterattack once their rear is cut off!
Unfortunately, Zhao Huan was already terrified.
He dared not fight the Jurchens again, and once again he chose to give up resistance and humiliatingly seek peace!
However, when Zhao Huan sent envoys to try to negotiate, the Jin people made an incomprehensible demand!
The princes were not enough to warrant a hostage, so they hoped that the retired Emperor Huizong would personally go to the Jin army camp to ensure the sincerity of the Song Dynasty in the peace talks.
Zhao Huan wanted to agree, but Zhao Ji simply didn't have the courage, so he had to go in person on his behalf.
"Bastard!"
At this time, not a single intact item could be found in Zhao Kuangyin's palace.
"What a bastard!"
"Even putting a dog on the throne would be better than this bastard!"
Li Er couldn't help but speak up and mock.
"This was a golden opportunity to lure the enemy deep into our territory. If we had held the inner city and cut off the Jin army's retreat, they would have been sitting ducks. Li Gang and the others should have understood this. It's a pity that the emperor on the throne is Zhao Huan, who is even worse than a dog!"
"Father, I think I'm really good at this!"
"May I participate in this challenge?"
Liu Shan was beaming with excitement.
He felt he could handle the challenge as long as he had hands!
No, he doesn't even need to use his hands; he only needs to remember one thing.
Let Li Gang do whatever he wants!
What's more, he can bring his father along to participate in the challenge and even extend his father's lifespan by half!
The advantage is mine!
Liu Shan felt he had never been so arrogant before!
"Your Majesty, with your talent, you would certainly be a hundred times better than these two if you were in their positions."
Zhuge Liang was truly amazed.
The actions of these two emperors were simply dazzling to him.
One couldn't make such a decision without suffering a stroke for fifty years.
Not only did they negotiate peace and reparations, but they also personally went to the Jin army camp to show their sincerity.
What's even more eye-opening is yet to come.
The images on the screen continued to flash.
After Zhao Huan led his pro-peace ministers to the Jin camp.
The Jin commander did not receive them, and even Zhao Huan's surrender document was returned several times and he was asked to rewrite it.
After repeatedly deliberating on the surrender document and finally meeting the Jin people's conditions, the Jin commander still demanded that the retired Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) come.
Zhao Huan pleaded earnestly, displaying utter servility and obsequiousness, before the Jin people finally ceased their insistence.
Then, at the Jin people's request, an incense table was placed facing north in Emperor Qinzong's room, and he and his Song officials were ordered to bow to the north and read out the surrender document!
"If I were Zhao Huan, I would rather die on the spot!"
Zhao Kuangyin was almost obsessed with it.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the person next to him.
"Why don't you tell me?"
"Why could he endure such humiliation instead of taking his own life? Didn't he know that he was trampling on the spirit that his ancestors had forged for generations?!"
Why should the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty be humiliated to this extent?
"It's no use dying now. He's already lost all face. Let's see if he can do something during this time of seeking peace and delay."
Li Er said he found it too irritating to watch.
Throughout his life, he fought in numerous battles, and the Wei River Alliance was indeed negotiated with him.
But the consequence of negotiating with him was that he was captured and brought to the capital to dance.
In his view, peace talks are a humiliation, and this humiliation must be washed away by his own hands!
"The loyalist army is on its way. The Jurchens have wasted several days, which is enough time for our army to cut off their retreat!"
"Once their retreat is cut off, these Jin soldiers will be effectively surrounded outside Bianjing. At that time, they will be made to pay for all the humiliations they have suffered!"
Li Er's analysis was undeniably sharp.
The Song Dynasty's military strength was already formidable, and with the Jurchens penetrating deep into its territory, cutting off their retreat wouldn't have been difficult.
If a normal emperor had come, the Jurchens would most likely have never returned.
But were Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji normal emperors?
No, they aren't even normal people!
Three days later, Emperor Qinzong Zhao Huan returned to the court.
The Jurchens demanded ten million taels of gold, twenty million taels of silver, ten million taels of silk, and a number of mules and horses.
They even went so far as to directly demand 1,500 young girls from the imperial court!
