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

"Li Gang, you should recognize me, shouldn't you?"

After bringing Yue Fei to the temporary camp, Zhao Kuangyin went straight to the point.

"Of course, your humble subject Li Gang pays respects to Your Majesty the Great Ancestor!"

Li Gang was visibly excited.

The absurd actions of Emperors Huizong and Huanzong made him think that the Song Dynasty was doomed!

The humiliating treatment those two received in the Jurchen camp, and the tragic state of Bianjing, weighed heavily on his back.

He almost couldn't hold on any longer!

Li Gang did not want to be a minister who brought about the downfall of a nation!

Fortunately, the immortals took pity on us!

Fortunately, the Great Ancestor arrived!

"No need for formalities. Report on the current situation and the movements of the Jurchens."

"If possible, I would like to intercept Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, these two unfilial descendants, before they are taken back to the Jin Kingdom!"

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said.

"The Jurchen army is still looting around Bianjing, and His Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus are still in their camp."

Li Gang quickly replied.

He kept a close eye on the movements of the Jurchens at all times.

He would launch a counterattack without hesitation if there was even the slightest chance!

"Don't call me Emperor Zhao Huan, and don't call me Emperor Emeritus Zhao Ji. This is my first decree upon arriving here."

"I will depose Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and forever nail them to the pillar of shame. I will not stop them to save them, but to kill them with my own hands!"

"According to the order!"

Li Gang did not hesitate at all.

"Furthermore, besides those who were captured by the Jurchens, are there any other pro-peace officials in the court who escaped?"

Zhao Kuangyin then asked.

"Many adults are currently in the military. They barely escaped, but they seem to have been quite frightened."

Li Gang didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin meant, so he had no choice but to answer honestly.

"Frightened? They won't be frightened anymore. Send men to execute them one by one by slow slicing. From this day forward, no subject of the Great Song Dynasty shall make peace with foreign enemies!"

Zhao Kuangyin knew that the mild policies he had adopted at the beginning of his reign, which focused on recuperation and development, had led to all of this happening afterward.

So now, he's here to change all of this!

Peace advocates?

From this day forward, the Song Dynasty court will have no appeasement faction, only war faction and dead men!

"According to the order!"

Li Gang trembled with excitement.

He had wanted to do this for a long time!

It's all the fault of those officials who kept telling Zhao Huan that the Jurchens were invincible and that seeking peace was the only way out!

In the military camp.

One by one, pro-peace officials were bound to a makeshift execution ground.

The specially recruited executioners executed them one by one in front of all the soldiers, subjecting them to the excruciating punishment of slow slicing!

"He not only vented his anger but also demonstrated his determination to fight to the death to his soldiers. Zhao Kuangyin's grasp of people's hearts was truly superb."

Li Er sighed.

This is a way of making use of waste!

"Besides his personal bravery, Zhao Heizi was also good at controlling people's hearts. Otherwise, how could he have released his troops with a cup of wine?"

Old Zhu pursed his lips.

"It's a pity these good-for-nothings aren't immortal. They'll die after just one round of torture. In my opinion, they're being treated too well!"

"..."

Xiang Yu's remarks made many people uncomfortable.

I've seen plenty of living Buddhas, but this is the first time I've ever seen a living Yama!

"The most pressing issue right now isn't these people; the real revenge is yet to come!"

"Don't let these small fry hold you back. Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan haven't even gotten it back yet!"

"Tormenting small fry is pointless. Let's deal with those two that can't die. Let them experience every kind of torture imaginable!"

In the sky.

Zhao Kuangyin did indeed do just that.

After executing all the pro-peace officials, he summoned his army to assemble at the drill ground.

"Yue Fei, I am giving you an army of 10,000, but you have no time to train them. You can only train through battle, and you must confront the Jin army head-on. Is that acceptable?"

Use combat as training!

Yue Fei's eyes lit up.

He's good at this too!

"We will never let His Majesty the Great Ancestor down!"

"Li Gang, of the remaining 20,000 troops, you and I will each lead 10,000. You will be responsible for cutting off the Jin people's retreat. Is that acceptable?"

Zhao Kuangyin turned to look at Li Gang.

"Before I die, not a single Jurchen will be able to penetrate my defenses!"

The idea of ​​sending 10,000 troops to cut off the Jin army's retreat sounds like suicide.

But Li Gang did not hesitate for a moment either!

Even if His Majesty the Emperor Taizu ordered him to commit suicide, as long as the backbone of the Song Dynasty could be straightened again, and as long as the shame brought by the two emperors could be washed away, he would die in peace!

"I will lead the remaining ten thousand men in a surprise attack on the Jurchen camp!"

"He only has 30,000 men in total, and he still wants to divide his forces into three groups?"

Zhu Di found it somewhat difficult to understand.

In this way, whether it's a direct confrontation or cutting off all escape routes, we will be at a significant disadvantage.

"This shows Zhao Heizi's hatred for those two unfilial descendants. He did this to ensure that he could snatch them back before they were taken back to the Jin Kingdom."

Old Zhu said quietly.

Even if he disliked taking risks when leading troops, he would have made the same decision if he were in Zhao Kuangyin's position!

We must torment those two emperors for even one more day; not a single bit less is acceptable!

"However, this is also a risk. If Li Gang or Yue Fei cannot hold out, then his surprise attack will be like handing food to the Jurchens."

Li Er was somewhat puzzled.

"Then we have to mention Zhao Heizi's bravery again. Although he is not as strong as Xiang Ji, he is no less capable than you, Li Er, in capturing the king from among ten thousand troops."

"We are very much looking forward to seeing the results of his surprise attack."

"Oh? I'm looking forward to it too!"

Xiang Yu speaks.

"...Don't expect anything, this is as easy for you as eating and drinking!"

Liu Bang said irritably.

Amid the discussion among the crowd.

Li Gang led over ten thousand men to cut off the Jin people's retreat route to the north.

After the remaining 20,000 troops waited for nightfall, Zhao Kuangyin gave Yue Fei a deep look.

"How much I gain tonight depends on how long you can hold off the main force of the Jurchens."

Delay?

Yue Fei blinked twice.

Your Majesty, are you mistaken?

"My dear minister, do you have confidence?"

Not understanding what Yue Fei was trying to express, Zhao Kuangyin asked again.

"I'm about 80-90% sure."

Yue Fei thought for a moment and said.

If these 10,000 men were the Yue Family Army under his command in the past, then that's a perfect score!

"Then let's set off. The sooner the better. I can't wait to see those two unfilial descendants!"

The two armies then separated.

Yue Fei marched in great fanfare straight towards Bianjing (Kaifeng).

As the old capital drew ever closer, his eyes reddened slightly.

Once upon a time, this was the place he dreamed of reclaiming.

Right now, his dream is within reach!

The main force that held back the Jin army?

Your Majesty, I apologize, but I, Yue Fei, will not prolong the battle; I will only attack!

"Generals, you may not know me, but I want to tell you a story."

During the march, Yue Fei slowly spoke to the soldiers around him.

"I come from the Song Dynasty not long after, when the Song Dynasty had moved south and Bianjing had become the old capital, an unattainable dream in the hearts of countless military generals like us."

"In the battles against the Jurchens, I believed I would win nine out of ten battles, but in the end I still failed to recover this place."

"And now, I am only one step away from this dream from you. I hope you will think carefully about whether this is the only chance you will have in your life."

"Whether you want to restore the old capital and be honored, or to be humiliated and sent south, your fate is in your own hands. I only hope that you will not regret it in the future."

"I can also tell you frankly that in this battle, either we will recapture Bianjing, or I will die beneath the walls of Bianjing!"

"I hope that you can stand tall and come with me to Bianjing to die!"
