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

"Brother Chen, our emperor is not as simple as he seems!"

"If he really has a backup plan in Chang'an, and can drive out the Han army and occupy Chang'an, then he can defend against Xuchang. No matter which side is attacked, the other side can quickly come to its aid!"

"More importantly, since he was able to leave himself such a backup plan, Guanqiu Jian certainly wouldn't overlook it!"

"Even if Guanqiu Jian ultimately makes a mistake and chooses to serve the puppet in the palace, the military power will most likely remain with Wen Qin and not be handed over to Zheng Chong!"

The more Jia Yan talked, the more excited he became.

He was extremely grateful that he had come tonight.

Chen Tan, who was standing to the side, was even more surprised.

How can so much be analyzed from just the fact that the emperor went to Chang'an?

Why didn't he think of this before?

"Brother Chen, what's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"

Jia Yan found it somewhat strange.

Chen Tan shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, it's just that I never thought about these things before, but after hearing Brother Jia's words, I suddenly understand!"

"It seems that Brother Chen, being in the middle, doesn't see things as clearly as he does, while I, as an outsider, am naturally able to analyze the situation more rationally."

"Now it seems I made the right decision to come tonight. Perhaps I should put all my bets on that guy outside the city!"

The more Jia Yan spoke, the more his excitement became evident.

Since his grandfather's time, the Jia family had always adhered to the principle of self-preservation and never made any decisions that would endanger themselves.

This time, such a golden opportunity made Jia Yan somewhat unable to resist.

"Brother Jia, what do you mean...?"

Chen Tan was stunned.

"What I mean is, in my opinion, the chances of that emperor outside the capital winning are almost limitless. As long as Guanqiu Jian does not hand over military power to Zheng Chong, those self-amusing people in the capital are all destined to die!"

"I would like to ask Brother Chen to be my witness that, starting tonight, I am one of your people."

"From this day forward, I, Jia Yan, and the entire Jia family will have only one emperor in our hearts!"

After a brief hesitation, Jia Yan made up his mind.

"Hmm, although I don't understand why you made a decision so quickly, Brother Jia, I'd like to know, what can you do?"

Although he didn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way, Chen Tan still asked instinctively.

"To be honest, I have secretly kept five hundred assassins. Although the number is not large, they can be of great use in critical moments."

"Don't worry, no one in my Jia family knows about these five hundred people. They were all raised by me, so you can absolutely trust them!"

Even when the Han army was at the city gates, Jia Yan refrained from revealing these men, precisely to keep his trump card hidden.

Now he knows that his hidden trick will come in handy!

Even Chen Tan was surprised by these words.

He certainly knew how critical the situation was for the Great Wei when the Han army was at the city gates.

In that situation, Jia Yan was actually able to hide!

He also knew more clearly that five hundred men would not be of much use under normal circumstances.

However, if someone attacks the city, at the most intense moment of the battle, five hundred enemy soldiers suddenly emerge from inside the city to attack the city gate. With the help of both inside and outside, this can definitely turn the tide of the battle!

"Furthermore, the Chen family cannot reach out and cannot know news from the outside world, but the Jia family can."

"To be honest, after so many years of forbearance, although the Jia family is not considered one of the top clans in the Great Wei, it is by no means weak. At least we have people in various border armies and most major towns."

"I dare not say much about other things, but at least when His Majesty raises an army, there will certainly be many people who respond."

"Furthermore, I will share any news with Brother Chen before His Majesty raises his troops."

"If there were any tokens that could gain His Majesty's or your brother's trust, that would be even better. I can send someone to Chang'an to establish contact with His Majesty through this!"

In just a few words, Jia Yan clearly explained his own advantages and what Chen Tan needed to do right now.

Such abilities truly left Chen Tan in awe.

It must be said that he truly is a member of the Jia family!

How come I never realized before that this family was so extraordinary?

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen?"

"Is there any token of love or promise?"

"Although it might not be impossible for me to write a letter and have it delivered, it would be better to gain His Majesty's trust as soon as possible, so that he can make arrangements for the situation in the capital more quickly, wouldn't it?"

Seeing that Chen Tan was still in a daze, Jia Yan couldn't help but urge him on.

"Ah, yes, Brother Jia, you can send someone to give my token to my brother, and he will naturally know what to do."

"At that time, you only need to express your sincerity in the letter, and His Majesty should take the rest into consideration."

Chen Tan quickly took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it over.

“Consider it? Yes, we should consider it.”

Jia Yan nodded.

Compared to Chen Tan, he clearly thought much more.

What was the situation of the Purple Sun Emperor?

Even life and death may not be in our own hands!

Chun Chun is a puppet of the Sima family. If Sima Shi tells him to go east, and he dares to go west, the throne will be unstable from the next day onwards, and he could be replaced by the next puppet at any time.

Under those circumstances, he was able to gradually overthrow the Sima family and reach where he is today.

The more Jia Yan thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

As a family most adept at self-preservation, they naturally have an extremely clear understanding of the power dynamics.

The Sima family used to be the absolute authority in the capital, completely different from Zheng Chong now.

At that time, the Sima family controlled more than just a city defense force!

Grand General Sima Shi was even able to mobilize troops from all over the land!

Even in such circumstances, the emperor could find a way to turn the tide.

Compared to the great general of the past, Zheng Chong is really just a child's play!

With such abilities, who knows how much influence they have secretly cultivated?

Perhaps the Chen family is only one of them!

Such an emperor should naturally consider the loyalty of his subordinates!

And the stricter the considerations, the more Jia Yan felt that he had made the right bet!

Compared to the emperor in Chang'an, this puppet in the capital, and the gentry who are blinded by their desires, are utter fools!

"Whatever Your Majesty's decision may be, my loyalty will never waver!"

"Even if he doesn't trust the Jia family for now, when he's ready to return to his loyal capital, I will definitely lead my elite guards to cooperate with him!"

Chen Tan was stunned by Jia Yan's sincerity.

Was my brother's decision really that wise?

Even a clever man like Jia Yan is begging to pledge allegiance to that emperor?

Could it be that the Chen family is really about to soar to new heights?

After seeing Jia Yan tonight, Chen Tan's worries completely disappeared, replaced by a secret joy.

You must know that being granted the title of king was a promise His Majesty made to the Chen family!

It's still the King of Han!

"Brother Jia, rest assured, even if His Majesty is unwilling to acknowledge the Jia family's greatest contribution, he will certainly not forget you after my Chen family is enfeoffed as a king."

Jia Yan was equally bewildered.

"Oh? His Majesty said he's going to bestow the title of King upon Chen Tai?"

"You guys aren't really taking this seriously, are you?"
