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

"If you can escape once, you can naturally escape a second time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but laugh.

He looked up and saw a name he didn't recognize, but he couldn't be bothered to curse it.

There are many reasons why deserters occur.

He admitted that it was indeed possible that the deserters were simply afraid of death and thus fled the army.

But such people are destined to be few and far between.

Moreover, Li Er was almost certain that those who fled out of fear of death were even fewer!

"You have no idea why these people are running away."

"If it's really just a matter of being afraid of death, then that's true. But many of them come here to live in anonymity, just to have food to eat, or even to atone for their sins."

"I don't know how long they've lived such peaceful days, but in any case, I believe their fighting spirit remains!"

"If you feel that you can't even use these people, then this challenge is a dead end for you."

To complete the challenge, the first thing you need to learn is to make use of everything available.

And discard some things that should be discarded.

Otherwise, this challenge will be a true dead end!

"Unfortunately, those two were held captive by Wu Sangui, otherwise Emperor Gaozu could have really used them to do some tampering."

"Of course, if Wu Sangui had not imprisoned these two, this challenge would certainly not have been this difficult."

The real reason why Liu Bang's challenge was so difficult was that he underestimated Wu Sangui's timidity and caution.

"So the current situation is that Emperor Gaozu is preparing to go with the flow and let the Manchus enter the pass?"

"Then, with the combined forces of Xiang Yu and Han Xin, they could directly annihilate the Manchus within the Great Wall?"

"But even so, the problem still exists."

Who will take control of the border?

"Once Han Xin and Xiang Yu gain the upper hand, the Manchus are not fools and will not stand still and wait for them to kill them."

"When they realize they can't win, they will naturally flee. As long as Liu Bang can't take the border from Wu Sangui, he will still lose!"

As an ally of the Manchus, Wu Sangui would never have allowed them to perish at that time.

Unless Liu Bang could seize control of the entire border region under such circumstances, this encirclement and suppression campaign would be nothing short of a joke.

Sun Dadi's eyes showed some confusion.

He couldn't understand why Li Er (Li Er) said that Emperor Gaozu (Gaozu) had a chance to turn defeat into victory and minimize losses.

I don't understand why Liu Bang made that choice.

Could it be that without those deserters, this challenge really couldn't have been completed?

"Just watch. If there are any people in this world who have the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous, then we believe that our ancestor must be one of them."

"A man who could destroy Qin in three years and Chu in four years, it's not surprising that he could turn the tide no matter what dire situation he faced."

Faced with Liu Bang's predicament, Zhu Yuanzhang did not make many comments; he only expressed his expectations.

However, his silence does not mean that others will remain quiet.

After the normal discussion subtitles faded, a war of words immediately followed.

"What are you bunch of good-for-nothings arguing about?"

"Do you know who that is? That is Dorgon, the former regent of our Great Qing Dynasty!"

"He was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and made numerous outstanding military achievements!"

"You don't really think that Xiang Ji and Han Xin can really drive him into a corner, do you?"

"Let alone how many people they can muster in such a short time, even if they were given tens of thousands of troops, what difference would it make?"

Emperor Qianlong said coldly.

If it were truly during the time of the founding emperor Nurhaci, he might actually have had some concerns.

After all, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was still relatively weak. Even though the Ming Dynasty gave them opportunities many times, they were simply not capable enough to truly take control of the Central Plains.

But the situation and timeline are completely different now; it's Regent Dorgon!

Those were the true warriors who led the Qing Dynasty into the pass, defeated Li Zicheng, and conquered the Central Plains!

Faced with such an opponent, the Qing Dynasty was practically a god-like existence!

The fact that they didn't take it seriously at all only shows that these people are short-sighted!

It can only be said that this so-called Emperor Gaozu of Han was a mere figurehead!

"A man of both literary and military prowess, perhaps there are others in this world besides myself who deserve these four words, but none of them are you, the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

"They seized land, forced people to shave their heads and change their clothes, launched literary inquisitions, and burned and altered a large number of historical books."

"To be honest, I don't even need to look at his abilities. From these things, I can tell that he is a good-for-nothing. Even though he has entered the Central Plains, he is still a good-for-nothing who is inferior."

Li Er said with a cold smile.

He was too lazy to criticize the emperors of the Central Plains, but when it came to Emperor Qianlong, he chose to criticize him as soon as possible.

They're still clamoring about being both scholarly and martial arts-skilled. These days, even cats and dogs can use this term to extort money?

"Then open your dog eyes wide and watch closely as I, the Regent of the Great Qing, utterly defeat Liu Bang step by step!"

At this moment, not only did Emperor Qianlong retort with sarcasm, but several generations of Manchu emperors also broke their silence.

"Those who dare to underestimate the Manchu Qing Dynasty will eventually pay the price!"

"So what if it's a Central Plains dynasty? You only benefited from the fact that my Great Qing didn't exist back then!"

"That's right. If it weren't Emperor Chongzhen who was my enemy, but you, Emperor Taizong of Tang, I believe the outcome would be exactly the same!"

……

Beyond the curtain of heaven, the war of words resumed. While the Manchu emperor was stubbornly refusing to admit his mistakes, Liu Bang completely immersed himself in the role of joining forces with Wu Sangui.

For a long time afterward, he readily agreed to whatever proposal Wu Sangui made.

Whether they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty or to Dorgon, whoever they say they are, is who they are!

Furthermore, he added many of his own conditions during the negotiations with the Manchus.

Wu Sangui was happy to go and negotiate with the Manchus on behalf of Liu Bang.

The more Liu Bang wanted, the more genuine it seemed, and the more trust he could gain.

As for the Manchus?

Those people in the Qing Dynasty didn't care at all about adding more conditions.

As long as they can enter the pass, they don't need to care how much land they give away or how many slaves they send out.

As long as they can take control of the Central Plains and loot for a few months, even if they are driven out again, they will still make a profit!

Both sides felt they had won.

Only Liu Bang saw things clearly; both sides had very sophisticated plans.

If the arrangements are made according to the conditions they discussed, then it would indeed be a win-win situation for them, while the common people would be the losers.

"See? Waiter, you've trusted the wrong person."

“Zhang Tailor, you and the old shopkeeper are overthinking it. The war will not end just because Li Zicheng wins the country. On the contrary, it is only the beginning.”

“This is not how you atone; what happened in the past cannot be changed.”

"If you really want to atone for your sins, the only thing you can change is the future."
