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

"Have all the border armies mobilized?"

"Zheng Chong is telling the gentry to find their own way to suppress my rebellion?"

Looking at the intelligence sent by Jia Yan, Liu Bang's expression was priceless.

The border troops' movement was within his expectations, but what was the meaning of letting the gentry fight their own battles?

Although it was already expected that the group in the capital was a complete rabble.

But isn't this arrangement a bit too unprofessional?

Was Zheng Chong's brain kicked by a donkey or slammed in a door?

The power of the aristocratic clans is indeed formidable. If they could truly unite and work together, even he would have to avoid a direct confrontation and instead try to divide and conquer them.

Zheng Chong's arrangement completely saved him a lot of trouble.

"Is this Zheng Chong really not a spy sent by His Majesty?"

Zhang Liang was also somewhat speechless.

He had a slight suspicion that Zheng Chong might have lost his mind while serving as a dog for the Sima family.

It should be noted that even if Sima Shi were to lead troops to quell the rebellion, he would have to do so personally and would not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Anything involving sending troops is a matter of utmost importance.

In this situation, even if you lack confidence in your own ability to lead troops, you should find a capable and trustworthy person to command the troops.

Let the gentry find their own way to quell the rebellion, and then reward them according to their merits.

Even though Zhang Liang wasn't as sensitive to war as Han Xin, he could still foresee that what they were about to face was a leaderless, disorganized group of Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather.

"I'm wondering now if I've lost my memory, and if Zheng Chong is actually a spy I planted within the aristocratic clans?"

Liu Bang also had doubts about life.

He had considered countless possibilities, but none of them were as simple as this!

"In addition, Jia Yan also stated in the letter that as long as we approach the capital, he will lead his elite troops to attack the city gates and welcome my army into the city."

"How should I put it? With a brilliant mind like Zheng Chong, and with Jia Yan and the rest of the Chen clan working together from within."

"Zifang, I suddenly feel that it seems that being willful once didn't result in any great loss."

He had already prepared for the difficulty to increase significantly, but now it seems...

I have this feeling that these people are trying to kill themselves sooner rather than later.

"Your Majesty, it's best not to be too careless now."

"Even if they fight individually, there are many powerful clans among them, such as the Cui family and other top-tier families. Given enough time, it is not impossible for them to mobilize tens of thousands of troops."

Seeing that Liu Bang was getting a little cocky, Zhang Liang quickly advised him.

"Rest assured, I do not underestimate them. I understand the principle that even a lion must go all out to hunt a rabbit."

"But that doesn't stop me from laughing at them first. It is truly my good fortune that Great Wei has Zheng Chong!"

Liu Bang expressed his sincere admiration.

Even his spies, whom he deliberately planted in the capital, probably couldn't have played such a significant role!

Beyond the canopy, many people's attention had already begun to focus.

Although Liu Bang laughed at him, most of them also thought that Zheng Chong was simply out of his mind.

But when the two armies actually clashed, I couldn't help but feel a little worried for Liu Bang.

Wen Qin had just led his army out of Xudu and had not yet had time to join him.

At this time, even including the several thousand men recruited in Chang'an, he had only a little over ten thousand soldiers under his command.

It can be said that this was the time when Liu Bang was at his weakest and most vulnerable to being annihilated.

At this very moment, as the view from the sky widened, many people noticed that about 20,000 Wei troops were rapidly approaching from dozens of miles away.

"Holy crap, this looks like I'm in for a serious disaster!"

"I can understand that. After all, Chang'an is located at the intersection of Sichuan and the gentry who can mobilize the border troops can indeed react quickly."

"However, this means we'll have to see how Emperor Gaozu adapts to changing circumstances and how he handles battles."

"From the perspective of the situation, this was the first wave of enemies he encountered before he joined forces with Wen Qinjun, and it should also be the last wave of enemies."

"If we defeat these 20,000 enemies, we will ascend to heaven like a trapped dragon; if we fail, we will fall in the last darkness before dawn."

"?"

"What suspense could there be? I don't know what you're all worried about."

Finally, Xiang Yu looked at the chorus of worries from these people and couldn't quite understand it.

Even if he looked down on Liu Bang as a villain, he had to admit that Liu Bang was an opponent who could fight him on the battlefield.

Despite repeated defeats, they still have the courage to fight again.

The fact that Liu Bang was able to fight Xiang Yu head-on several times without dying speaks volumes about his abilities.

He always felt that although the people on the sky all claimed to believe in the strength of the High Ancestor, their words were somewhat disdainful of others.

Worried?

Facing a mere 20,000 Wei troops, and with a brilliant general like Wen Yang under his command.

In Xiang Yu's view, the only suspense was how long it would take Liu Bang to completely defeat them!

It was at this moment that Emperor Sun reappeared.

"Xiang Ji, stop trying to glorify yourself. Are you afraid that Liu Bang's defeat will be too crushing, making it seem like you've lost to him in a very embarrassing way?"

"No suspense yet? Do they really think he, Liu Bang, is a god?"

"What kind of troops does he have under his command? Ten thousand old, weak, sick, and disabled men cobbled together from various places, while the enemy has twenty thousand elite border troops!"

"If he wins, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it around like a football!"

After being repeatedly humiliated, Sun Quan is now eager to regain face by taking revenge on Liu Bang.

In his view, as long as he was right and Liu Bang lost, he could regain the face he had lost before.

And now, this battle is his best chance!

"Sun Quan, you'd better wait and see."

"If the immortals ever give me the chance, I will definitely cut your head off with my own hands and use it as a football!"

Xiang Yu forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Now, open your dog eyes and look at me properly."

"What are these mere 20,000 soldiers? Only a coward like you would think that having more troops guarantees victory."

Upon seeing these words, Li Er suddenly realized something and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"No, no, no, Xiang Ji, you're wrong. On the contrary, in his view, having a large army doesn't necessarily guarantee victory."

"After all, he was a commander of 100,000 troops who was utterly defeated and routed by 800 elite warriors."

"That battle was a terrible defeat. It almost completely shattered the confidence of Eastern Wu in its northern expedition. Countless top generals died, and many military families were wiped out overnight."

"The fact that children in Eastern Wu would stop crying at night upon hearing the name of Zhang Liao is a testament to the achievements he made."

"So in the eyes of these rats, too few troops will lead to defeat, and too many troops will also lead to defeat."

"You're just wasting your breath arguing with someone like him."

"However, I support what you said earlier. If I have the chance, I will also kick his head like a football!"
