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

"slave?"

Xiang Yu raised his hand and with a single stroke, cut the man who had just spoken in half at the waist.

I don't like this word.

"No matter what, they are still people from the Central Plains, and perhaps some of them migrated from the Chu region. They are all sons of Jiangdong!"

"I'll give you another chance. What about the prisoners you captured back then? Where are the civilians?"

Seeing him cut a person in half at the waist, it was as easy as chopping a piece of tofu.

For a moment, those squatting on the ground fell silent.

"You're tough on the bone and sharp on the tongue, so I hope your lives will be just as tough."

Seeing that they remained silent, Xiang Yu randomly selected another lucky person, slashed him diagonally, and once again his head was separated from his body.

No one spoke, and Xiang Yu didn't ask any more questions, just silently continued his attack.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen heads rolled to the ground.

"No, don't kill me, I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Those slaves... prisoners, they're all dead."

"After the men died from exhaustion, they were cooked in a pot. The women couldn't withstand the torment either, and they all died."

"General, spare our lives! We are willing to be your slaves!"

After countless kills, someone finally couldn't contain their fear and spoke up.

The remaining people did not object at all; clearly, they were willing to do anything to survive.

The law of the jungle dictates that the weak should be slaves to the strong.

This is a principle ingrained in their very being.

They were strong in the past, so those two-legged sheep should be their oxen and horses, or even their food to improve their diet.

Right now, the two-legged sheep in front of them has overturned their understanding.

But in any case, the enemy is strong and they are weak now, so it is only natural for them to bow down.

Anyway, as long as they are given a chance to live, even if they are taken back to the Central Plains as slaves, they will still have a chance to come back alive.

Next time, they can find a new hiding place so that these people can never find them again!

If they had encountered generals from the Ming Dynasty, they might have actually taken them back to the capital as spoils of war.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a general from the Ming Dynasty who came this time.

"Are you willing to be my slaves?"

"It seems you still don't understand the current situation. Do you really think my men are just garbage collectors?"

"Loss like you, if you were really under my command, you'd only be fit to be used for archery practice!"

After saying this, Xiang Yu turned around and looked behind him.

Besides the Jiangdong youths, the majority of the troops he brought were recruited during this era.

Most of these people came from the vicinity of the border and had a deep-seated hatred for the Tartars who had been invading the border for many years.

In their eyes, Xiang Yu saw an unyielding hatred!

Both sides have a deep-seated blood feud, but for now, they dare not take any overly aggressive actions because he has not yet spoken.

Now they are just waiting for one order.

An order that would allow them to vent their hatred at will.

Xiang Yu was naturally very happy to issue this order.

Repaying kindness with kindness?

Screw the "repay evil with good" mentality.

What can influence people is never so-called virtue, but the weapon in their hand!

What protects you from harm is never noble character, but the blood of your enemy!

"Go, do what you're supposed to do, and take your revenge."

"Let their blood tell all our enemies that the sons of the Central Plains cannot be humiliated!"

"If we're talking about slaves, then they aren't even worthy to be my slaves!"

"kill!"

At his command, tens of thousands of men behind Xiang Yu rushed out in a frenzy.

At this moment, all that could be seen in the eyes of these Manchus was fear.

But when the knife is at your throat, you realize the fear, and it's too late.

They were as arrogant as they were when facing the people of the Central Plains, and now they were filled with terror.

Each of them had the blood of the people of the Central Plains on their hands.

Now is the time to pay for this blood debt!

The massacre didn't last long; some people didn't even manage to snatch a single head.

But it's not a big problem, after all, this is just one of the hiding places.

"Overlord, what should we do with the rest of them?"

When the frenzy subsided, only a tiny amount remained, barely taller than a car wheel.

"Not high enough for the wheels? Can't you lay the wheels flat?"

"Only that despicable person would use the name of a benevolent army. My actions have always been to exterminate without mercy."

“They are not a threat now, but they may not be in ten or twenty years.”

"These useless people wouldn't be able to find the places where they've truly never harmed the common people. Those who can be led there by them should be killed without any injustice!"

Even Xiang Yu couldn't guarantee that there wasn't anyone in the Qing Dynasty who had never had blood on their hands.

But he was certain.

In any place Dorgon's personal guards could find, in any place they were familiar with, no one would die unjustly!

The reason these people live so comfortably is because they are nourished by the blood of the common people!

These executioners should be eradicated completely!

Even as the massacre came to an end, some people felt a pang of pity as they looked at the scene.

However, this feeling quickly dissipated.

To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself!

"Alright, men, leave two thousand men to send the excess supplies back to the interior. The rest of you, let's head to the next place."

"The Ming emperor didn't thoroughly clean up the mess, so let's give him a hand this time."

"The Ming Dynasty couldn't avenge this blood feud, so we'll do it for them!"

……

"so much?"

"How much did these Tartars actually loot? And this is just the first place they've looted?"

Liu Bang was shocked.

He had anticipated that Xiang Yu's journey to the grasslands would be exceptionally successful.

But I never expected that I would be able to bring back so many things!

The grain supplies might not be much, but the amount of gold and silver was truly beyond his expectations!

"If we extrapolate from this amount, then the amount of grain burned is truly regrettable."

"It is clear that the Qing court itself did not have much food and supplies, and the money given to Wu Sangui was mostly gold and silver."

"But it doesn't matter. With so much gold and silver, even if those landlords and gentry ask for exorbitant prices, we can still buy enough grain."

"In that case, Your Majesty, may we begin recruiting soldiers?"

Han Xin's attitude was somewhat urgent.

The reason they were still able to firmly occupy this important town was not entirely due to the lingering momentum left by the previous battle to wipe out the Qing army.

Only he knew how weak their forces were.

To ensure Xiang Yu's group's smooth progress, he was allowed to take the vast majority of the troops with him, leaving behind only the less than 5,000 troops previously responsible for guarding the city.

With such a small force, once Li Zicheng reacts, he could wipe them out in an instant.

Even local gentry could join forces and cause them considerable trouble.

"That's possible, but haven't you already drained all the troops that can be recruited near this pass?"

Where else can you recruit soldiers right now?

Liu Bang was somewhat confused.

Han Xin smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty need not trouble yourself with that. All you need to do is give me a decree."
