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

"Everyone says that the Emperor of Wei is just a puppet supported by the Sima family. Seeing him today, I can see that rumors are just rumors."

"If someone with your abilities and courage is a puppet, then there have probably been very few good emperors throughout history."

When Liu Bang arrived, the tea on the table was still warm. Jiang Wei stood up and bowed.

Regardless of one's stance, the courage to attend the banquet alone as the emperor deserves respect.

"Yes, I think so too."

After sitting down, Liu Bang drank the tea on the table in one gulp, then smacked his lips twice in dissatisfaction.

"It's a pity it's water instead of wine. I was thinking of emulating the ancient Wei Emperor Taizu and Emperor Zhaolie by discussing heroes over wine. After all, you and I, who are here today, are also true heroes."

"Your Majesty Wei is joking. The late Emperor was of unparalleled talent; how could Jiang Wei compare to him? Wouldn't that be like comparing the light of a firefly to the bright moon?"

"And I beg Your Majesty Wei not to insult the late Emperor of my Great Han, for that would be tantamount to insulting the founding emperor of your Great Wei!"

Jiang Wei's tone suddenly became more serious.

Although he had never met the late emperor, he deeply admired his ideals and his lifelong perseverance in striving for them.

He admired the late emperor as much as he admired the prime minister.

Therefore, he could not tolerate anyone insulting the late emperor in front of him!

However, upon hearing this, Liu Bang's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

"But if you don't think you're more heroic than the late emperor, then what makes you think you can accomplish what he couldn't?"

"As for Emperor Taizu of Wei, he spent most of his life just barely pacifying the north. If I had his favorable timing and location, I would have already conquered the whole country. Why can't I be more heroic than him?"

Jiang Wei: "..."

He wants to report someone for not following the expected rules!

If Liu Bang persisted in insulting his late emperor, he could seize the opportunity to lash out and order his men, who were lying in ambush, to take action.

But who knew that this guy would turn his attention to his own founding emperor!

In just a few words, they almost completely belittled Boss Cao.

Even Boss Cao, who was listening outside the canopy, blushed a little.

If others were to make such a joke, he would at least refute it.

But the one who said these words was Emperor Gaozu.

Emperor Gaozu of Han, who destroyed Qin in three years and Chu in four!

After his crushing defeat at the Battle of Red Cliffs, lamenting that his body was too old and he was no longer as brave as before, Liu Bang probably spent his days watching wild dogs fight at the village entrance with great interest.

He spent his entire life barely managing to pacify the north, and still failed to resolve the threat posed by the aristocratic clans.

Liu Bang overthrew Qin, destroyed Chu, and attacked various vassal states, conquering the entire country nearly three times in seven years.

When Cao Cao was drinking wine with Liu Bei, he could still shamelessly say that the only heroes in the world were you, my lord, and I.

But in front of Liu Bang, he could only obediently lower his head.

Faced with Liu Bang's contempt, all he could do was stand tall and shout indignantly, "I am a piece of trash, so what!"

"So you came to see me today just to say these things?"

Jiang Wei was somewhat agitated, and his eyes gradually became impatient.

"Of course not. Since I have taken such a great risk to see you, I naturally have a great purpose. Why don't you guess why I have invited you here?"

Liu Bang kept everyone in suspense for a moment.

"For peace talks?"

Jiang Wei couldn't discern anything wrong from his expression and could only guess.

The Han army could not break through, and the Wei army also lacked the confidence to fight outside the city.

With Guanqiu Jian's reinforcements arriving soon, the Han army will surely have to withdraw to Chang'an ahead of schedule.

In this situation, peace talks are the most reasonable guess.

Both sides should minimize casualties and losses of supplies.

But Liu Bang just chuckled and shook his head.

"Boyue is confused. This battle is about to end tonight, so what is there to talk about peace talks?"

"Or are you really not going to obediently follow my suggestion and only bring two personal guards with you?"

Jiang Wei: "!"

"rat!"

Having said all that, how could he not know Liu Bang's purpose?

He immediately stood up to draw his sword, but someone else moved even faster than him.

Zhang Liang swiftly drew his sword and knocked Jiang Wei's weapon away, while Liu Bang smashed his cup in anger.

It's possible that both sides used the same code, as nearly a thousand soldiers suddenly appeared around the pavilion.

"You still have the nerve to call me despicable? You've got quite a few men with you too!"

Liu Bang laughed and scolded.

"I am doing this to restore the Han Dynasty. Even if my methods are despicable, I have no shame before Heaven and Earth!"

As Jiang Wei suddenly attacked, the ambushing troops from both sides also engaged in a fierce battle.

Seeing his two personal guards rushing towards him with murderous intent, Liu Bang simply smiled.

"Zifang, don't worry about me, your task is to capture Jiang Wei!"

Zhang Liang: "?"

Good heavens, Your Majesty, I am a civil official, the kind who uses a pen!

Seeing Jiang Wei roll back his longsword while dodging, Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In this situation, even Han Xin might not be able to handle it.

We need Fan Kuai!

After drawing his sword, Jiang Wei knew that his opponent was a master swordsman, so he didn't bother to fight him with swords and instead used his strength to suppress him.

After several rounds, Zhang Liang was already panting heavily, and his hand holding the sword was starting to go numb.

Fortunately, he has a good habit of always having a backup plan, no matter what he does.

"If I hadn't made some extra arrangements, I'm afraid I would have really been tricked by Your Majesty."

At this very moment, amidst the chaos of battle, a large number of torches appeared.

Seeing countless Wei soldiers emerging under the firelight, even Jiang Wei, with his unparalleled bravery, couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

He felt he had done enough despicable things, and under the emperor's private audience, he secretly brought hundreds of elite troops with him, intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

Who knew that this Emperor Wei was even more despicable than him? Just how many people did he bring with him?!

Thousands? Or tens of thousands?

"Holy crap, how many troops have you mobilized?"

"What if the Han army attacks the city at this time?"

Not to mention Jiang Wei, even Liu Bang was stunned for a moment.

With this kind of momentum, a decisive battle with the Han army wouldn't be any better than this, would it?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, only five thousand troops were mobilized. I was just worried about unforeseen circumstances."

Zhang Liang explained.

In retrospect, at least we were prepared.

Seeing that the situation had become completely clear, Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief after recovering from his shock.

However, he was very curious about how Zhang Liang had managed to do it.

"I don't recall seeing you mobilize any troops. Could it be that this was pre-arranged?"

"But didn't you say there was no need to alarm Chen Tai and the others?"

"In fact, it did not cause any disturbance. This was a small move I made at the city gate guards."

Zhang Liang patiently explained.

The Sima family's network of relationships was extremely complex. Even though they had taken control of the capital, no one could guarantee that there weren't any loyal lackeys in the capital or even the imperial palace.

Once those madmen secretly kidnap Liu Bang and leave the city with the emperor's token, no one can stop them.

So he made a rule with the garrison that anyone who left the city with the emperor's token was a spy from Shu.

If any soldiers defending the city see this, they must notify their superiors, who will then dispatch a large army to secretly track and suppress the enemy.
