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

"Does Your Majesty want to ask who gave him this confidence?"

Huo Qubing knew Liu Che very well, and upon seeing his expression, he guessed what he was thinking.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be ignorance."

"The more ignorant a person is, the more likely they are to think that they can emulate the methods of the military genius."

"To put it bluntly, even he himself probably couldn't fully express his own military strategy. His military strategy is inherently without fixed form or structure."

"To learn only the form of his military strategy without learning its essence is to invite trouble."

The more Huo Qubing spoke, the more disdainful he became.

Since the time of the "God of War," every military leader has had to study his military strategies.

But the more I study, the more I realize how insignificant I am.

Putting aside everything else, the sheer amount of control over everything on the battlefield is something that ordinary people can only dream of.

They can control the morale of their own soldiers, grasp the timing, location, and human factors, and even predict the enemy's morale and the actions of the enemy commander.

This even makes one wonder if Han Xin personally witnessed the enemy commander's arrangements whenever they clashed.

Otherwise, who could determine the enemy's movements based on mere clues before the war even begins?

Only the ignorant, or those who have not studied Han Xin's past achievements in depth, would think that he was nothing special.

Those who have studied it in depth would be so eager to worship it when they actually meet the person!

"So in your opinion, Dorgon is destined to fail in the end?"

Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief after Huo Qubing nodded.

He was genuinely worried for Emperor Gaozu.

If Dorgon really manages to achieve a desperate, do-or-die situation, then Liu Bang will be in real danger!

"It's not that one can't emulate the military genius, but rather that he failed to grasp even the most basic logic before rashly attempting to imitate him."

"Controlling morale is only the first step. Even the military genius did not rely entirely on strong morale to win."

"He anticipated that the Zhao army would choose to swarm out to seize military merits when facing a weak enemy, so he took advantage of the empty garrison in the camp and ordered a small number of cavalry to launch a surprise attack, directly replacing the flags in the Zhao army camp with Han army flags."

"Zhao Jun originally thought that these people were delivering military merits to his doorstep, but when he turned around, he suddenly found that his camp had changed hands, and his formation was thrown into chaos. At the same time, Han Xin led his army to launch a counterattack."

"With the rise and fall of morale, the fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides was quickly widened, which led to the desperate battle with their backs to the river."

"Of course, the details of this battle are certainly not limited to what I have just mentioned. The God of War never fights a battle he is not confident of winning. He must have other plans to ensure that he can preserve his own strength even if he fails to break through the Zhao army camp. But these are purely our own speculations, and it is not appropriate for His Majesty to know them."

Huo Qubing thought for a moment, realizing that if he explained it in too complicated a way, Liu Che would definitely not understand.

So he simply gave a simplified version of the "fight with our backs to the river" scenario.

"So this Dorgon in the challenge only learned the basics of fighting with his back to the river, but completely missed the essence of the final battle, right?"

Liu Che gave a thumbs up, indicating that what he said was simple and clear enough!

“That’s right, so Your Majesty has nothing to worry about.”

"He tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog instead; his blind confidence led him to fail to see his own abilities and situation."

"At this critical juncture in the challenge, the Qing army has been repeatedly attacked by Xiang Ji, and their morale has completely collapsed. This situation cannot be reversed by a day or two of good days."

"Dorgon's thinking is too simplistic, or rather, he doesn't understand the soldiers in the army well enough."

"Material satisfaction may be important to soldiers, but it is definitely not what they care about most."

"What soldiers crave most is never the pleasure of food and drink, but winning battles, making military achievements, and rising to the top in one step!"

"Only a general who can lead them to victory can control their morale and inspire them to fight to the death!"

As for the rest, Huo Qubing goes without saying.

After encountering Xiang Yu, the Qing army suffered almost a series of defeats, and by the end, the soldiers had almost lost all their morale.

Especially during the final wave when Xiang Yu led his Jiangdong troops to charge, everyone in sight was terrified.

With soldiers in this condition, how can you expect them to recover for a few days and then repeat a desperate battle?

Idiot's dream!

It's just unknown whether Han Xin inside the canopy noticed this.

If he discovers that the other person is imitating him, he really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"I understand now."

Liu Che nodded.

He understood, but at that moment, the sky above was in an uproar.

Emperor Qianlong and a few others who were unaware of the facts firmly believed that Dorgon's plan was without any problems.

Once Han Xin's army surrounds them, the battle will begin.

Some of the more radical ones even believed that the first battle would be the final battle, and that the Qing army would be able to take Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop.

At that time, if they could confront Han Xin and Xiang Yu at Shanhaiguan, the Qing army would still be able to firmly control the advantage.

Most of the remaining people felt that the outcome was still undecided, and at this point, it was not advisable for either side to open champagne at halftime.

A minority, however, hold the same view as Huo Qubing.

A desperate battle with no way out?

This is clearly cutting off their own path to survival step by step!

Within the canopy, Liu Bang was bewildered for a long time when he realized that the Qing army had no intention of attacking the city in the short term and was secretly plotting something.

His biggest fear was that the Qing army would launch a full-scale offensive at any cost once they arrived at the city.

Han Xin's strategy of gradually eroding the encirclement was far slower than the Qing army's retreat, so he could only proceed step by step.

Therefore, the sooner the Qing army launched its offensive, the greater the pressure on Liu Bang would be.

Therefore, after seeing that the Qing army did not attack the city but instead set up camp on the spot, he spent a long time that day trying to figure it out.

Two interpretations.

Either the enemy commander was an idiot, or Han Xin successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks!

After a few days, Liu Bang gradually figured it out.

He provided his soldiers with good food and drink while simultaneously putting himself in danger.

While waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, should we then go all in and burn our bridges?

Upon realizing this, he immediately summoned Xiao He.

"You've been on the battlefield and witnessed Xiang Ji's charge into battle. Do you think this Qing army commander can match Xiang Ji?"

Can it rival anyone?

Xiang Yu?

When asked this question, Xiao He blinked and looked at Liu Bang, his eyes conveying only one meaning.

Your Majesty, are you sure you haven't asked the wrong question?

Is there anyone in the world who can rival Xiang Yu's bravery?

Moreover, the Qing army commander was killed and abandoned his personal guards, not daring to look back.

Is he a fierce general comparable to Xiang Yu?

What are we comparing? Our brains?
