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

"Cao Mao has indeed won. After seeing Gaozu's solution, we really feel that without Zhang Liang, and without knowing who was capable by his side, his situation was unsolvable."

While praising Liu Bang's methods, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt sorry for Cao Mao.

What a waste of such talent.

"It's not that the situation is hopeless. If he could break out of the palace, kill Cheng Ji with one spear, kill Jia Chong with two spears, and then lead his men into the Sima Mansion, cut off the heads of the Sima brothers and parade them through the streets, wouldn't the deadlock be resolved?"

Xiang Yu expressed that he had a different opinion.

In his view, this is clearly the optimal solution.

There's absolutely no need for any backstabbing or dirty tricks.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!

"...This method, apart from you, I reckon no one else can use it."

Mr. Cao was speechless.

Even for someone as seasoned as him, killing Cheng Ji might be a piece of cake, but breaking through the encirclement of countless people and storming into the Sima mansion was truly a joke.

Sima Shi's elite guards were no pushovers.

Well, even if it were Yun Chang, I doubt he'd be up to the task.

"Perhaps there are others who could do it, but it certainly wasn't Cao Mao."

Li Er thought about it.

He himself was certainly not very capable. If we were to find a capable person among the emperors, perhaps besides Xiang Yu, there would only be one other person who could charge all the way through.

"So you're as powerful as a tiger, capable of swallowing up thousands of miles?"

Old Zhu reacted instantly.

When he signed up for this challenge, he seemed to have seen Liu Yu's name on the sky.

After Li Er said that, he suddenly remembered.

"Speaking of this person, I am quite curious. Between Liu Yu and Xiang Ji, whose bravery can be called the greatest throughout history?"

Zhao Kuangyin immediately became interested as well.

Although he was also famous for his bravery, he still had some self-awareness when compared to these two seemingly inhuman figures in historical records.

"Oh? There's someone who can rival Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, in bravery?"

Liu Che also became curious.

In terms of both literary and martial prowess, it's highly unlikely that anyone throughout history would claim to be number one.

After all, no one is perfect; those who excel in civil administration are unlikely to be very skilled in martial arts.

He knew perfectly well how much manpower and resources it would take to conquer cities and seize territory.

Once war breaks out, the lives of ordinary people will be the most difficult, and this civil administration will be a complete failure.

However, if we only focus on recuperation and development, we will have to swallow our anger when faced with invasions from groups like the Xiongnu, and our military capabilities will also suffer.

Looking through history, there are very few emperors who were both skilled in literature and military affairs, but once they were, it is almost impossible to rank them.

The only thing that can determine who is superior is individual bravery!

However, Liu Che originally thought that someone as brave and fierce as Xiang Yu, who could single-handedly slaughter countless enemies in the midst of a vast army, would probably never appear again in later generations.

Even if he had never truly faced it, judging from those families who could achieve glory for generations simply by seizing a few hands or feet, Xiang Yu must be a terrifying figure.

"There really are. Only Xiang Ji and Liu Yu have ever achieved a hundred kills. If these two could lead their troops into battle, the scene would be quite spectacular."

More and more people are showing up at the sky.

Liu Yu: "..."

"Unfortunately, immortals probably won't give such an opportunity."

Since the sky fell, seeing the Western Chu Overlord participate in several challenges and his appearance in battle, it truly made his blood boil.

"If the immortals grant me the chance, I will show you what true unparalleled bravery is!"

Xiang Yu simply ignored the opinions of others.

He was willing to admit his shortcomings and accept that he had lost to Liu Bang.

But he also doesn't believe that anyone's bravery can match his.

Apart from him, there should be no one else who could lead eighteen riders to break through the enemy lines!

Liu Yu did not argue much, but a hint of longing was clearly in his eyes.

He longed for the immortal to choose him to participate in the next challenge.

He wanted to prove to the world and to Xiang Yu that his bravery was not just a reputation!

……

"So, Your Majesty, are we really just going to abandon the capital like this?"

Chen Tai walked away from Luoyang, unwilling to look back.

He had a vague feeling that victory was just one step away.

"Rest assured, my dear minister, my departure this time is only so that I can return in a better way in the future."

Liu Bang saw his reluctance and comforted him with kind words.

"When I return, all the villains will be punished, all of them!"

Just like when the Han army hadn't even made a move yet, he had Chen Tai issue an ultimatum to all the powerful clans.

At that time, very few aristocratic families were willing to hand over all their chips to him.

When he returns, only a handful of the gentry will still be alive.

"It's just that Your Majesty has had to endure this bumpy journey."

Jiao Bo didn't care about giving up the capital. As he once said, he was only loyal to the emperor, and he would not question any of the emperor's decisions.

"A bumpy ride is fine, Chang'an is a good place."

Liu Bang smiled and reassured everyone.

But only Zhang Liang knew that His Majesty was more unwilling than anyone else.

He may have come from humble beginnings, but he had eventually become familiar with the power that could determine the life and death of countless people with a single word.

However, in this challenge, they were suppressed by the Sima family, outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant by the powerful clans, and even forced by circumstances to leave their hometown.

Although it was his own choice, he probably still harbors a lot of resentment.

Just then, a discordant voice rang out.

"Heh, Chang'an is a good place? Little Emperor, you really know how to comfort yourself."

"I really want to know, after you eliminate my Sima clan, who do you plan to use to suppress the powerful clans of the world? With those few worthless scoundrels around you?"

Although he was weak, Sima Shi, who was imprisoned in the prison cart, still managed to sneer.

This was Jiang Wei's way of returning the favor.

Liu Bang let him go, but he left Sima Shi, Liu Bang's thorn in his side, in the camp.

"I am not surrounded by worthless scoundrels."

Liu Bang gave him a cold glance, then smiled.

He wouldn't hold a grudge against a dead person.

"I have my Zhang Liang, my Han Xin, and my Xiao He. In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han was able to establish the Han Dynasty, which lasted for four hundred years, by relying on the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. Now I also have three heroes and the throne of the emperor. Am I not more advantageous than Emperor Gaozu of Han?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Shi couldn't help but chuckle.

"More advantageous than Emperor Gaozu? How dare you, a mere little emperor, say that?"

"Your Great Wei Emperor Cao Cao, Wu Emperor Sun Quan, and even that one in Shu, whose background is eight streets above Han Emperor Gaozu?"

"And then what? The one who achieved the most was Cao Cao, but even he failed to unify the country."

"Young Emperor, you don't really think that someone like Emperor Gaozu of Han is someone that just anyone can mess with?"
