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

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied now?"

Xiao He watched all this quietly, without a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

He was also not a soft-hearted person.

People like Wu Sangui have committed such heinous crimes that they deserve to die a hundred times over!

He would only feel that dying once is far from enough to atone for such a sin!

"Feeling better? You're too early to feel better."

"Forgot? What did you see on the sky before?"

“How have we, the people of Han, been oppressed like this? We are emaciated, and even human flesh is priced.”

"Not to mention compared to the common people of other dynasties, even compared to slaves, they are far inferior!"

"The culprit who caused all this, do you think he can appease me with just his death?"

"Pass down the order: I will exterminate Wu Sangui's entire clan, ten generations. Anyone who is even remotely related to him by blood shall bring me their head and be rewarded!"

"Furthermore, this matter has been resolved. It's time to go see Han Xin; I'm still waiting for his explanation!"

I'm still not satisfied!

I'm still not satisfied no matter what I do!

Compared to the terrifying scenes seen on the sky, how can one feel relieved?

That goes beyond exploiting the people; it doesn't even treat them as human beings.

In that scene, only one word came to Liu Bang's mind.

livestock!

They completely treated the people like livestock, or even livestock that didn't need to be fed but only harvested and exploited!

"Whatever Han Xin was planning, it should be over by now."

"Your Majesty, may I accompany you? To be honest, I am also very curious about what he intends to do."

Xiao He quickly replied.

"That's fine. There's nothing else to worry about in the city right now, but you need to make proper arrangements for the garrison and settle the border troops."

"Remember, they are heroes. Those who died in battle should have their bodies collected and buried as much as possible. If the bodies cannot be found, a cenotaph should be erected for them."

"Traitors deserve to die, but heroes also deserve the treatment they deserve."

"Don't mistreat anyone, don't be afraid to spend money. Money is something you can always get more of if you run out."

Liu Bang nodded slightly.

At this moment, his emotions were not particularly high, mainly because of Han Xin's mysterious actions, which allowed Dorgon to escape.

This directly turned what was supposed to be a permanent solution into a source of trouble spreading throughout the Central Plains.

Although Dorgon couldn't really cause any trouble in front of Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

But if they were to face ordinary people, they might not be a match for those Tartars.

The fact that the Manchu cavalry was so powerful has been deeply ingrained in the minds of most people.

The outside world is unaware that the Manchu army has been completely annihilated. Even if they were aware, they would have no way of knowing whether the Manchus could raise an army of equal size again.

If Dorgon manages to deceive him in various ways, he might actually regain power.

By then, while it won't all be for nothing, it will certainly cause a lot of trouble.

If Han Xin cannot provide a reasonable explanation, then he will have to think carefully about how to handle this matter.

Xiao He handled the following matters very quickly.

Because we were prepared to face this fire from the very beginning.

When the screams gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of raging flames, he began to organize people to put out the fire.

The fire started in less than an hour, but it took four days to extinguish.

When the fire was extinguished, the entire border town was completely reduced to ruins.

Looking at the devastation he had created with his own hands, Liu Bang's eyes were filled with regret.

If it weren't for the need to eliminate Wu Sangui and his traitors while ensuring his own side suffered no losses, he would have had no choice but to resort to this method.

If a house is gone, it can be rebuilt.

If we run out of food supplies, we can find a way to get them. You have to give up something to gain something. As long as we can keep our own people, nothing is a big deal except death.

"Fortunately, the Qing army has been completely decimated, and those who escaped will not pose a significant threat in the short term."

"Let the brothers rest well during this time. Once they've rested, we'll rebuild our border."

"Let's go see Han Xin!"

……

Inside the command tent, Han Xin had a stack of the latest intelligence reports laid out in front of him.

But he knew he no longer had time to look at these things.

A few days ago, a major fire broke out in a key border town, and the fire lasted all night. He knew that Liu Bang had properly dealt with Wu Sangui and his Guan Ning cavalry.

Once the fire is extinguished, Liu Bang will come to settle accounts immediately.

Of course, he didn't panic, since he did have some countermeasures in place.

At least until now, Dorgon, who broke through the encirclement, is still on his chessboard, playing according to his plan.

As long as nothing unexpected happens next, he will not only escape punishment, but he may even achieve the highest level of skill in this challenge!

"Han Xin, your lord has arrived. If you can't provide a reasonable explanation, you're as good as dead!"

"Although your father said he would never kill you because of your contributions, you also know that he has gone back on his word more than once or twice!"

"If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I'll take your head!"

Liu Bang was brought in by his personal guards after shouting outside the tent.

Han Xin was not afraid of his threat at all, and even wanted to laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Do you really think your father wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Your Majesty would certainly dare to kill me, but I have my reasons for doing so. Would Your Majesty like to take a look at this map?"

Han Xin casually pointed.

"What are you pointing at there for? Do you think I don't know that's the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

"and then?"

Liu Bang was somewhat confused.

"Dorgon is heading there with his less than two thousand defeated soldiers."

"Your Majesty, if this plan succeeds, the challenge will be broken in less than six months."

局？

Has Dorgon gone to the Ming capital?

What would he do with those two thousand soldiers? Are they going to their deaths?

No, if they have few troops, then they're definitely not going to attack the city!

Now Wu Sangui is dead, and his Guan Ning cavalry has been completely wiped out.

The Qing Dynasty was completely crippled again, leaving Dorgon with only two choices.

Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng.

Zhang Xianzhong harbored extreme hatred for the Qing court. If Dorgon didn't want to die, he had no choice but to choose Li Zicheng!

At that time, Li Zicheng had just occupied the capital and entered the Central Plains, and was at his most arrogant. Dorgon personally led people to surrender and submit to him.

He will definitely agree!

"Are you trying to use these two thousand soldiers to give us a righteous reputation?"

After a moment's thought, Liu Bang realized what was going on.

Li Zicheng held the moral high ground and won the hearts of the people.

Despite having tens of thousands of troops under their command and being backed by an important border town, they were nothing compared to Li Zicheng, who dominated most of the Central Plains.

The threat might not even be as great as that of Zhang Xianzhong.

However, if Li Zicheng accepts Dorgon's surrender, then regardless of the pretext, the Qing court's past acts of ravaging the border and plundering the people will completely negate his righteousness!

When the time comes, they can raise the banner of eliminating the remaining rebels. With Han Xin and Liu Bang's own methods, they will surely be able to win everyone's support!
