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

"Then tell me, should we annihilate these Qing troops now?"

Although most of the troops were taken out of the pass by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang still had a thousand men under his command.

With so much time having passed, Han Xin's army must have been considerable.

It would certainly be insufficient to fight Li Zicheng decisively, but it should be enough to encircle and annihilate Dorgon's few thousand men.

"Your Majesty, before making a decision, please read the letter from the Marquis of Huaiyin."

"He should already be aware of the intelligence we have received and has taken countermeasures accordingly."

It is obvious that when Han Xin was in the field and had already made a decision about something, it was because...

Liu Bang's words were tantamount to farting.

If you agree with his opinion, then His Majesty is wise.

If we disagree, it means there was an accident on the way, and I failed to receive Your Majesty's decree, so I went my own way.

Xiao He could foresee this outcome, and Liu Bang certainly could too.

He had encountered this situation many times when he was vying for the throne with Xiang Yu.

Whenever Han Xin had his own plans and he urgently needed Han Xin to send troops, the outcome was never good.

The only time he did so was by exchanging the title of King of Qi for it.

"Read it aloud, what did he say in the letter?"

After a moment of impotent rage, Liu Bang simply waved his hand helplessly.

That's just how Han Xin was.

If you want to use him, you have to accept all his flaws.

"He said……"

"Although it deviates somewhat from expectations, if things continue to develop this way, the outcome will only be better."

"When the final enemy changes from Li Zicheng to Dorgon, we will be able to stand on the side of righteousness and easily crush them."

After hearing these words, Liu Bang remained silent for a long time.

He knew what Han Xin was talking about, and he also knew that with this, completing the challenge would be a sure thing.

As long as they can quietly watch the people of the Central Plains fall into a living hell,

They waited for Li Zicheng to suffer defeat after defeat until he lost the empire he had gained.

By then, the people will naturally realize that the people they chose not only failed to provide them with a good life, but also failed to offer them even the most basic protection.

They will also realize that the people they chose were wrong!

"It is indeed the simplest method."

He suddenly grinned.

They simply guarded the border and quietly watched Dorgon and Li Zicheng fight like dogs.

Whichever of them wins the fight, it will be a good thing for him.

Two dogs fight, play off!

Han Xin certainly had not anticipated such an outcome.

Because he never imagined that anyone in this world could be so stupid.

It went even more smoothly than he had originally guessed!

“That’s right, Your Majesty. We just need to wait here. As long as they don’t turn their attention to us, we can remain indifferent and mind our own business.”

"Regardless of who wins or loses in their dispute, it will be much easier for us to clean up the final battlefield."

It would be best if Li Zicheng were to lose.

They were able to stand on the side of righteousness, easily rally the people's hearts, and then lead an overwhelming army to crush the Qing army.

Even if Li Zicheng wins, it won't matter. He will suffer heavy losses, and it will be easy to take him down.

"Neither Han Xin nor I could have predicted that Li Zicheng and his advisors would be so stupid and so wicked!"

"So you think that I can only follow Han Xin's advice, sit on the sidelines and watch them fight it out, and watch them ravage the people of the Central Plains?"

"Xiao He, these people are all subjects of my great Han Dynasty."

Although the dynasty was no longer the Han Dynasty, it was merely a change of dynasty.

In Liu Bang's view, dynasties change but the people remain the same.

The world belongs to the Ming Dynasty, but the people also belong to the Han Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Xiao He's heart trembled.

He knew that since Liu Bang had said this, it meant that he was dissatisfied with what Han Xin had said in his letter.

But if that happens...

This is a challenge, and if the two of them clash, the road ahead will become less clear.

Most importantly, they currently only have a little over a thousand men under their command!

If Han Xin is determined not to provide any reinforcements, then even if they wanted to send troops, they would probably be powerless to do so.

"Your Majesty, this is ultimately just a challenge, why not..."

Why not just be patient?

Close your eyes and ignore it, and wait until it gets better.

Even this period of time won't be too long.

The outcome should be decided in about three months.

After all, Dorgon had already skipped the step of entering the pass, and the place where he wreaked havoc was near the capital.

Furthermore, he was undermining the foundation of the Great Shun Dynasty, and Li Zicheng could not tolerate it for long.

Although they won't have a decisive battle in their first match, they should both want to determine the winner as soon as possible.

"Xiao He, this is more than just a challenge."

"At least for the ordinary people facing this challenge, this is the bloody reality."

“The Shun dynasty doesn’t care about their lives or deaths, and the Qing army treats them as two-legged sheep. If we, as outsiders, continue to ignore them, then we will be in trouble.”

"Can you imagine how desperate they must have been?"

"Xiao He, don't forget, you and I both came from ordinary people."

"Saving them is saving ourselves."

"As the Emperor of the Great Han, how can I ignore the lives and deaths of my people?"

Liu Bang certainly knew that Han Xin was right and Xiao He was also reasonable.

But he's the kind of person who says he doesn't care, yet in reality, he's incredibly steadfast in upholding his principles.

For a moment, Xiao He felt like his head was about to explode.

Han Xin has his own ideas, and if things go as expected, doing as he says will yield good results, and the challenge will be completed easily.

Liu Bang also had his reasons.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, protecting the people of the Han Dynasty is his duty and a matter of course.

However, whenever a conflict arises between these two, the outcome is never good.

Both men were stubborn. Han Xin would not compromise, while Liu Bang would settle scores after each compromise.

"Your Majesty, I can relay your words to Han Xin, and he may be able to understand Your Majesty's good intentions."

"If he still refuses, we hope Your Majesty will consider the bigger picture!"

What is the overall situation?

Wouldn't that mean Liu Bang would have to compromise?

But who was Liu Bang?

He was Emperor Gaozu of Han!

Why did he compromise with his own subject, Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin?

"There's no such thing as prioritizing the overall situation; what I say is the overall situation!"

"I can compromise on other matters, but the reason I was able to gain the world and Han Xin was able to have a continuous stream of Han troops is because the people of my great Han Dynasty are loyal to me."

"You can tell Han Xin that if he can't even protect the people of our Han Dynasty, then he can go back and hang himself."

"Although I have promised never to kill him, if I am incapable, I hope he can find his own way out."

"Do incompetent people, those who disobey the emperor's orders, deserve to live?"

"Just like me, if I cannot protect the people of the Han Dynasty, how can I have the face to be the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
