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

Is the Han emperor weak, or are you, a powerful eunuch, so strong that you want to replace him?

Such a question shook the Han officials who were originally united in their hatred of the enemy.

Many people couldn't help but look at Huang Hao with suspicion.

He had previously declared that he would allow the Wei army to leave the city once they retreated.

This explanation can be loosely interpreted as a decision he made to force the Wei army to retreat and preserve the palace.

However, Zhang Liang's next statement once again heightened everyone's suspicions about him to the peak.

As an envoy of the Great Wei, I simply wish to see the Emperor. Is that too much to ask?

Regardless of the circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable for an envoy from an enemy state to want to see the emperor.

In any matter concerning communication, the emperor himself should make the decision.

Huang Hao's act of detaining the envoy without authorization is unacceptable anywhere!

“Huang Changshi, if the Wei envoys only wish to pay homage to the Emperor, we might as well grant their request.”

"We can see what they want to do first, and then decide how to deal with them."

"It is indeed against etiquette to detain the envoy directly."

"Yes, yes, even in war, envoys are not killed. How much more so when our army has just captured the capital and we have the upper hand? How can we refuse to see the envoy from Wei?"

They still thought it was Wei soldiers lying in ambush in the city, waiting for them to lower their guard before suddenly attacking.

Unexpectedly, the essence of this turmoil was that the Wei army had left behind an envoy who wanted to meet the Han emperor.

These thousands of soldiers, in their view, were also left behind to protect the envoy's safety.

In an instant, all the officials turned around and tried to persuade him.

"Shut up! What do you know? Wei has lost its capital, and now they're suddenly sending envoys to visit us. There must be a conspiracy involved!"

"We have our reasons for not letting him see the Emperor, so why should you all interfere?"

"With a formidable enemy at hand, can't you all unite against him?!"

"Anyone who dares to utter another word will be dragged away and beheaded as a sacrifice to the flag!"

At that moment, Zhang Liang suddenly understood.

Huang Hao is a man of unpredictable temper.

In addition, Jiao Bo himself had a somewhat superior view of himself because of his origins in the Great Wei.

The exchange between the two men, before even getting to the point, directly angered Huang Hao, leading to Huang Hao's arrest and imprisonment.

In this way, it seems that there is still room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, he looked up and asked.

"Uncle Jiao, haven't you had a chance to explain to Lord Huang the purpose of our visit?"

Jiao Bo was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly after recalling the events.

It seems to be true.

He really didn't have a chance to explain to Huang Hao the purpose of his visit!

Immediately, Zhang Liang had an idea.

"Since that's the case, Lord Huang, I'll tell you the truth. The reason we're here is indeed because we have important matters to discuss with the Emperor of Han, but it's by no means a bad thing."

"We are prepared to cede four counties surrounding the capital to the Han Dynasty!"

"Oh?"

Before Huang Hao could react, the officials of Shu were already excited.

To cede four counties?

This is a great thing!

The significance of this goes beyond just the four commanderies; the hidden meaning is that the State of Wei has shown weakness!

If both sides sit down at the negotiating table, it is not impossible for these four counties to become six or eight counties!

"Lord Huang, this is truly your fault. The envoy from Wei came with sincerity; how could you detain him without authorization?"

"That's right, hurry up and untie the envoy!"

"It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. If we had known that Envoy Wei was coming with such sincerity, we should have prepared to receive him much earlier."

"There's still time to make arrangements, Lord Huang. Quickly untie Envoy Wei, and we'll go prepare immediately!"

Before Huang Hao could even speak, someone immediately stepped forward to remove the swords and knives that were pressed against Jiao Bo.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Huang Hao immediately spoke up to reprimand him.

"These are all people from Wei; how can we believe everything they say!"

"Take this man away first. If what you say is true, we'll personally host a banquet for him afterwards to apologize!"

He instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so he simply held Jiao Bo down first.

Zhang Liang didn't have much of an opinion on this, and after a brief hesitation, he nodded.

"Then I'm afraid Lord Jiao will have to suffer a bit these next few days. Don't worry, I'm here."

With me here, the plan has not yet failed.

Understanding the meaning behind Zhang Liang's words, Jiao Bo finally felt relieved.

His greatest fear was that his actions would cause His Majesty's plans to fail, which is why he wanted to atone with his death.

When the two sides sat down at the negotiating table again, Wei's three thousand troops were already on the open.

Wen Yang did not lead his men to withdraw from the city, and the Shu army also increased the number of guards in the palace.

The situation wasn't too dire, but when Liu Bang, who was far away in Xuchang, saw the intelligence, Zhang Liang immediately suggested that Chen Tai, Wen Qin, and the troops in Xuchang set off immediately to ensure that as soon as the imperial decree arrived, they could launch an offensive to seize the capital!

Seeing Zhang Liang's suggestion in the intelligence report contradict his own decision, the people outside the sky were momentarily dazed.

"Is this an internal argument?"

"Zhang Lianghao finally managed to ease the situation, but now he's mobilizing troops, isn't that just putting us all to death?"

Mr. Cao said he didn't quite understand.

These actions before and after indicate more than just a minor conflict.

If the Shu army were to learn of the Wei army's movements, they would certainly kill Zhang Liang and the others, even if it was just to vent their anger!

"Has the situation really eased?"

“Zhang Liang is gambling, and even he knows that the probability of losing is very high.”

"In order to ensure that the consequences of losing the bet would not escalate further, I suggested that my father mobilize troops at the same time."

"It's quite obvious what to do if peace talks are really going to happen. What should be done if Liu Shan demands the release of the Shu princes he holds, including the crown prince?"

"Don't forget, Liu Chen is not the eldest son. Once the Crown Prince arrives, he will no longer be eligible to inherit the throne!"

The underlying logic behind Liu Bang's plan was that he admired Liu Chen and was willing to complicate a simple challenge for Liu Chen's passionate spirit.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't know their habits. What if they were a foolish or incompetent ruler who could be known by appearance but not by heart?

Not only would the world's gift be given unwillingly, but it might even cause the challenge to fail!

"But I don't understand. Didn't such a hidden danger exist from the beginning?"

"Whenever peace talks begin, isn't releasing hostages usually the first step?"

Zhu Di said he didn't quite understand some of it.

Both are peace talks, so why is there such a big difference?

“The difference is huge. This is what peace talks should be now, whereas before Zhang Liang and the others were exposed, it was just charity.”

“When negotiating, you can bargain, but if you are the one receiving charity, you have no right to make any demands.”
