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

"Delaying time? Trading the lives of those decoys for His Majesty's life?"

"When did I ever say such a thing?"

When Han Xin's personal guards asked him when they were going to meet Liu Bang to help him break through the encirclement, Han Xin was completely dumbfounded.

No, when did I say that this battle was to bring Liu Bang out?

During the Chu-Han Contention, Liu Bang didn't have such a big face. Does that mean he's suddenly become so arrogant now that he's the emperor?

joke!

When did Han Xin ever care about Liu Bang's life or death?

"What if we don't heed His Majesty's words and he dies amidst the chaos of war?"

Han Xin's personal guards were also dumbfounded.

No, my lord, do you really not care about His Majesty's life or death?

"His death in the chaos of war was simply his bad luck; what does it have to do with me?"

"We can't afford to miss this golden opportunity just to save him, can we?"

Han Xin's face was full of self-righteousness.

His personal guards were utterly bewildered.

An excellent opportunity?

How did you figure that out?

My lord, who are you trying to fool?

"Stop looking at me like that. Go down and carry out my orders."

"His Majesty is protected by Heaven's Mandate; there will certainly be no problem!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.

After noticing that a large number of Qing troops had been drawn away, Liu Bang looked up in confusion.

That's strange, the sun doesn't seem to be rising in the west.

Why would Han Xin do something like saving the emperor?

"Send someone to check if the one who lured away a large number of Qing troops was the Marquis of Huaiyin."

After thinking for a moment, he gave instructions to the guards beside him.

Although there is a shortage of manpower at the moment, sending out a scout or two is still not a problem.

However, his personal guards simply shook their heads.

"No need, Your Majesty. The scouts have already seen them. Those are the Han army of the Marquis of Huaiyin. However, they do not appear to be elite, or even soldiers."

"Most of them were not wearing armor, and the weapons they carried were extremely rudimentary."

"I'm afraid that even if the Marquis of Huaiyin wanted to do everything in his power to save His Majesty from danger, he might be powerless to do so."

Those who don't know Han Xin all think he's prepared to risk everything to save Liu Bang from danger.

But Liu Bang, who knew Han Xin well, knew that this was impossible!

The sun did not rise in the west, which meant that Han Xin could not possibly have come to rescue him!

However, it is somewhat strange that he did not wear armor.

"Although there aren't many heavy armored soldiers in Shanhaiguan, there are enough light armored soldiers, and with Xiao He overseeing things, they shouldn't have made such a mistake."

“If Xiao He were the kind of person who would send his soldiers into battle without armor, I would have cut off his head long ago.”

Liu Bang had absolute trust in Xiao He, or rather, in the abilities of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

Xiao He couldn't possibly have made such a basic mistake, so there's only one possibility.

The physical condition of Han Xin's men was insufficient to support them in a rapid march after donning armor.

After all, even light armor has a considerable weight to it.

As for the weapons that many people were holding, they were similar to farming tools.

There is also an explanation: untrained soldiers may not be able to use weapons well when they step onto the battlefield.

The best option is to let them use the farm tools they use most frequently on a daily basis.

Hoes and sickles, if sharpened to a sufficient degree, can also be extremely powerful on the battlefield.

"If Han Xin's purpose in leading these new recruits onto the battlefield was merely to rescue me..."

"I don't think I have that much face, at least not enough to be considered a big shot by Han Xin."

Although they were already familiar with the Marquis of Huaiyin's behavior, Liu Bang's personal guards were still somewhat ashamed when they heard him say these words himself.

If even His Majesty is not of sufficient authority, then is there really anyone in the world who can command the Marquis of Huaiyin to send troops?

Furthermore, if he wasn't here to rescue His Majesty, what was he doing bringing so many untrained soldiers to this place?

They can't just be here to wander around!

“You’re right. He certainly wouldn’t have brought these troops here to wander around. This place is just as dangerous for him, and it might even make all his previous efforts go to waste.”

They're not here to rescue people, nor are they here for a pointless game.

That means Han Xin wanted something far more greedy than anyone else could imagine.

"Damn it, could he also be planning to end the war in one battle and decide the fate of the world?"

But at this point, Liu Bang also became somewhat less confident.

Is the price that these people would have to pay to destroy the Qing army too high?

Did Han Xin not even consider the possibility that the Qing army might turn around and annihilate him?

If Han Xin really insists on going his own way, how should he cooperate?

"If that's really what he thinks, how do you think he should cooperate?"

After some thought, Liu Bang decided to gather ideas from all sides.

Although these personal guards did not know Han Xin as well as he did, their intuition on the battlefield was in no way inferior.

"If the Marquis of Huaiyin really did not come to rescue His Majesty, but simply came with the purpose of fighting against the Qing army."

"Now is probably the best opportunity."

The Qing army was divided using a small amount of bait.

Judging from Han Xin's deliberate ability to recruit soldiers, he still has at least 20,000 troops at his disposal.

A small amount of bait has achieved the current conditions, and at the same time, there are still troops available to be used to encircle and annihilate the divided enemy.

Regardless of whether those troops are elite or not, at least they are troops that Han Xin can mobilize.

There could be no better opportunity than now, given that the Qing army has completely devoured the Shun army.

"So you think Han Xin is about to make a move?"

"It is just as I predicted."

Such a rescue is not unusual for anyone else.

But if this person were Han Xin, Liu Bang would never believe that the guy would go to any lengths to save him!

Once Han Xin makes a move, it must mean that he has enough confidence!

His goal, from beginning to end, could only be to defeat the enemy, not to save anyone!

"Since that's the case, I must cooperate with him properly."

Liu Bang raised his hand to wipe the blood from beside his eyes and looked at Dorgon's gradually shrinking formation.

"Huh? We're cooperating with the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

His personal guards were somewhat confused.

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be Han Xin who cooperates with His Majesty?

Isn't the order reversed?

"Han Xin is the commander. Once on the battlefield, there is no distinction between ruler and subject. He is confident of winning this battle, so it is only right for me to cooperate with him."

"Make preparations. Once Han Xin makes a move, I must ensure that Dorgon has no time to deal with the battle situation there!"

This means that all his troops will now have to fight to the death.

"But Your Majesty, the morale of our army is not as high as it used to be."

"Forcing an offensive might backfire."
