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

"Your Majesty, are you just entrusting them to them like this?"

After returning to the palace, Zhang Liang no longer suppressed his voice.

Liu Bang was also very satisfied.

“Naturally, now that things have come to this point, they are even less willing than I am to see the city fall.”

"They won't know the pain until the knife pierces their own skin."

In the past, only the emperor and the throne were threatened.

But the throne was never theirs to begin with, so it's not a pity if it's taken away by someone else.

Now, if the Han army breaches the capital, then this knife will cut away all the flesh from their bodies.

On the contrary, what Liu Bang said was absolutely correct.

Even if he made the order, Shu Han would have to obediently treat him as an honored guest, and Liu Shan would have to bestow upon him the title of Duke of Anle!

In such a situation, the sword was aimed at the aristocratic clans, and they would naturally go all out.

"But Zifang, who is leading the Han army? How can they be so brave? With less than 50,000 men, they have managed to defeat Sima Shi's 100,000-strong army."

Liu Bang was quite curious about this.

Is there such a powerful general in Shu?

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Jiang Boyue leading the troops personally, right? As for the bait in Qishan, it's probably just a fake decoy."

Based on Zhang Liang's understanding of Jiang Wei, although he was not opposed to taking risky measures, he would not entrust such an important battle to any other person.

"Then do you think I have a chance to capture him alive?"

"To be honest, I really admire this last general of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Bang suddenly became excited.

This Han general, until the very end, still carried the mission of restoring the Han Dynasty.

Many people even record that the death of Jiang Wei and the fall of the Han dynasty marked the end of an era.

If given the chance, he would really like to meet Jiang Wei in person.

Zhang Liang: “…”

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? You are no longer Emperor Gaozu of Han, you are the Emperor of Wei!"

"Let alone the fact that no one in the city can capture Jiang Wei alive right now, even if Wen Yang returns now, he might not be able to get a living Jiang Wei!"

Zhang Liang understood Liu Bang's character perfectly.

In the eyes of others, he may be a wise and capable ruler with lofty ambitions.

But Zhang Liang knew that Liu Bang was the kind of person who would become overjoyed at the slightest bit of sunshine.

When he was conquering the world, he had barely entered Xianyang before dreaming of becoming the King of Guanzhong.

He was obsessed with gold and silver jewelry, beautiful women, fine wine, and all things that could be enjoyed.

If he hadn't been persuaded in time to return his troops to Ba Shang, Liu Bang might have been dragged off and beheaded at the Feast at Hongmen without even having a reason to explain himself.

Later, after the 560,000-strong allied army captured Pengcheng, they were utterly annihilated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite cavalry.

Was it really just because Xiang Yu was incredibly brave?

Could it be that Liu Bang underestimated his enemy?

Zhang Liang did not witness that battle firsthand, but based on his understanding of Liu Bang, he most likely did.

Just like now, this emperor is prone to getting carried away.

"Zifang, why do you have to spoil my mood? Don't you admire that last general of the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Bang said with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course I admire him, and if given the chance, I would love to have a long talk with him, but now is definitely not the time for that!"

"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate the tens of thousands of Han troops who came from the Ziwu Valley. Shu has already exhausted its resources, and their elite strength may be even greater than you expect!"

Zhang Liang sensed the dissatisfaction in his voice.

But I also know that I absolutely cannot coax him at this time.

At times like these, someone should scold Liu Bang awake from his complacency!

"Alright, alright, I understand."

"You may leave now. In any case, our army will not be defeated too easily. If the situation changes again, you can come and inform me."

"Let me study this further and figure out how to capture Jiang Boyue!"

Zhang Liang: “…”

He was about to start cursing.

Just as Liu Bang's ego was swelling, Sima Shi's expression grew increasingly grim in the distant military camp.

He had realized that with only his 100,000 troops, it would be impossible to defeat the Han army.

Let alone repel them, if they don't respond in time, they might be the ones who are completely wiped out!

The Han generals who attacked this time were also top-notch. No matter what methods he used to try to surround and annihilate the enemy, the enemy would immediately adapt to the situation.

His tactical changes resulted in the Han army breaking out of the encirclement and launching a counterattack several times.

Even though there was a significant disparity in troop strength between the two sides, the Wei army was suffering repeated defeats.

"Has this young emperor gone mad?"

Looking at the sand table, Sima Shi, who refused to back down even a step, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Since the young emperor dared to say that the day the entire army pressed on the border would be the day of annihilation, it meant that he was aware of the Han army's offensive.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Han army was probably brought here by the young emperor himself.

This explains why, shortly after he transferred the garrison commander and some of the troops in Chang'an, the Han army arrived and directly used the grain and fodder in Chang'an that had not yet been processed as supplies.

"Even I can't stop this Han army, so where does he get his confidence from?"

Sima Shi continued muttering to himself, completely oblivious to the increasingly noisy sounds outside the tent.

"The gentry?"

“The gentry may indeed have hidden methods, but they are not capable of stopping such a powerful Han army.”

"Or perhaps it is Guanqiu Jian?"

"It's even more difficult. Even if the Han army really can't take the capital before Guanqiu Jian returns to reinforce it, they can still turn back to Chang'an."

"Once this city is given away, it won't be so easy to take it back in the future!"

The more Sima Shi thought about it, the more absorbed he became, and the more he felt the young emperor was absurd.

He didn't even notice when someone entered the tent.

"This city is indeed not so easy to take back, and my goal is not just Chang'an, or at least not just Chang'an."

After taking off his helmet, Jiang Wei sat down opposite Sima Shi, panting.

"Of course I know, what you want is the capital."

"After all, this is a place that not only you, but also the previous Prime Minister Zhuge, and even your Emperor Zhaolie dreamed of reaching."

"You've finally made it here, and the dream of generations of you is so close. How could you possibly give up? Am I right?"

Sima Shi was not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of Jiang Wei.

After realizing that the war was beyond saving, he devoted himself to figuring out the young emperor's actions and intentions.

When the real retreat began, the generals loyal to the Sima family would naturally lead their troops to Xuchang and join Sima Zhao.

Those who died on this battlefield were all insignificant people.

Including Sima Shi himself.

"You really know me well."

"Now guess again, will I kill you?"
