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

Chapter 701 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

"What is the main purpose of coming here?"

"What are you saying? Liu Ji, what nonsense are you spouting? You dare not kill me? Do you think I'll be intimidated by you?"

"In the end, you still want to force me to let you go, don't you?"

"Let me tell you, there's no need for that. This Shanhaiguan will always belong to me!"

"At most, I can only promise you that after I leave, I will not join forces with Li Zicheng to attack your troops from two sides. Whether you live or die is up to you!"

Although he said he wasn't afraid, Wu Sangui was clearly still somewhat alarmed by Liu Bang's attitude.

Without realizing it, her words had already softened somewhat from fear.

"Forced you? Wu Sangui, are you still dreaming?"

"Forget it, take him out and let him see how his Guan Ning Iron Cavalry are roasted into dried meat."

"Your Excellency wants the whole world to know that dynastic power struggles and internal strife are irrelevant; victory or defeat depends on individual ability."

"But if anyone leads people from outside the pass into the pass, attempting to let them take control of the Central Plains and reap the benefits, then even if you wipe out the last soldier, you will cut them into a thousand pieces!"

After saying this, Liu Bang waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to escort Wu Sangui out of the prison.

Along the way, Wu Sangui was still roaring in fury, clearly still skeptical of Liu Bang's words.

But as the temperature outside rose higher and higher, his anxiety gradually reached its peak.

What's going on outside?

Such doubts lasted only a short moment.

When he was dragged out of the prison, he saw the raging fire and heard the heart-wrenching screams, and he understood everything.

Just as Liu Bang had predicted, his tens of thousands of elite border troops were about to be roasted into dried meat!

But how did they manage to do that?

Let alone tens of thousands of elite soldiers, even tens of thousands of pigs couldn't just sit there waiting to be roasted!

How long would it take to prepare for such a huge fire, leaving them no chance to escape?

And it's not enough to just prepare in advance; it also has to be based on the premise that every single one of his Guan Ning cavalrymen is blind, deaf, or stupid!

If there were any human beings capable of thinking, they would not have ended up like this!

"What did you do? What did you do? How could this happen?"

Are they all idiots?

"You're lying to me, you're lying to me! Even if they were all fools, they would never have stood by and watched you lay out enough oil around them to burn them all to death!"

At that moment, Wu Sangui almost went mad.

He simply couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

"Why would I lie to you? They're just like you, with the upper beam being crooked and the lower beams being crooked too. Your generals are just like you."

"As long as you give them a little benefit, they can only see the remaining profits and ignore the deadly things that are right next to those profits."

"To be honest, I have openly and honestly laid out everything in front of everyone, whether it's kerosene, cloth, grain, or anything else that could fuel this fire."

"If they had detected it earlier and taken action, the fire wouldn't have spread so easily."

"It's a pity that money can be so tempting. Their hearts are blinded by wealth, so much so that they can't see the threat that is right in front of them."

"Wu Sangui, do you think you've been teaching him too well?"

"Or perhaps you taught them that as long as there is profit, they can easily sell out the people and the land behind them, making them feel that as long as there is profit, nothing else matters."

"So now, having gained some benefits, they're about to turn into dried-up corpses."

"You don't need to worry too much. After all, you'll be joining them soon. Now, can you tell me if there's anything you'd like to do before you die?"

Liu Bang offered an explanation with a cold smile.

Only at times like these would he be in the mood to say a few more words to a villain like Wu Sangui.

After all, people are going to die anyway, so letting them die knowing the truth isn't such a bad thing.

"Interest? What kind of interest could make them sell their lives?"

"Liu Ji, what kind of schemes and tricks have you used!"

"Among the generals under my command, not all of them are veterans of countless battles, but at least none of them are weak. Any one of them should be able to stop all of this from happening in time!"

"You're trying to trick me. The ones in this fire certainly aren't my Guan Ning cavalry!"

The more Liu Bang sneered, the more insane Wu Sangui became.

He was beginning to believe Liu Bang's words.

But the truth was hard for him to accept.

His Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, his tens of thousands of elite soldiers, his greatest source of confidence in this chaotic world—could they really have been completely burned away by a single fire?

"What good will it do you to frame me?"

"Since we've come this far, and you have no last wishes, then prepare to embark on your journey with them."

"Do not kill me!"

Seeing that several soldiers beside Liu Bang were about to push him into danger, Wu Sangui's eyes suddenly cleared.

Faced with the threat of death, there is no distinction between the Marquis of Pingxi and the common people.

In the face of death, everyone is equal!

"Not kill you? Are you kidding me?"

"I've already told you, a large part of the reason I came here is for you, or to put it bluntly, to kill you."

"You're only begging for mercy now? Don't you want to die anymore? Isn't it a little too late?"

Liu Bang chuckled and shook his head.

Wu Sangui's words clearly refreshed his understanding of battlefield generals once again.

He truly never expected that Wu Sangui, who could lead troops into battle and was even considered a veteran of countless battles, would be so naive.

Things have come to this point, with a knife to your throat, do you still want to live?

“I still have a great use to me. During the time I was in contact with Dorgon, I learned the locations of many Manchu tribes, and even where their royal court is. Spare me, and I can find them and, as you wish, wipe them all out!”

When his will to survive was at its peak, his eyes were incredibly sincere, as if he truly hated the Qing people to the core.

"Wu Sangui, didn't your confidants tell you during this time that the Qing army that entered the pass has been defeated and will be annihilated soon?"

"Do you think I trust the Qing army's own men to know the way, or do I trust you more?"

"Stop struggling, just get on your way."

"You really don't know how many innocent people died because of you after the Manchus entered the pass, and how many years of suffering my great Central Plains will have to endure?"

"The kind of traitor I hate most in my life is a traitor like you!"

"Those who betray the people of the Central Plains shall die."

"Push him in there, let him reunite with his Guan Ning cavalry, and let them reflect on their mistakes in the afterlife!"

Liu Bang waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward from behind him.

The feeling of watching helplessly as you are pushed into a sea of ​​fire is utterly despairing.

But in Liu Bang's view, compared to the sins he had committed, this result was only a partial offset.
