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

"But this process is a bit too convoluted, isn't it?"

The personal guards who followed Han Xin naturally knew some of His Majesty's temperament.

However, the process was much more complicated than they had imagined.

"Mind your own business; don't worry about things that aren't your concern."

"Go and prepare, keep an eye on every battlefield, and if you miss anything or there are any signs of a breakthrough, your task is to fill the gaps."

"The enemy forces are quite numerous, and it will take time to gradually eliminate them one by one."

The grand strategy to overthrow the Qing Dynasty has been laid out, and countermeasures have been prepared for all possible variables.

The next step is to maintain this battlefield.

Given enough time, no matter how many enemies there are, they will all be devoured!

"What if someone is willing to surrender?"

"Willing to surrender? You mean they're already willing to be the Tartars' lackeys, slaughtering civilians and fighting to the death for them, and I, the commander, still want to give them a chance and trust them again?"

Han Xin glanced at him with some displeasure.

Throughout history, those who have served three masters have been despised by all.

Moreover, these people chose to defect and surrender to the Manchus after Li Zicheng had died in battle amidst the chaos of war.

Anyone with a conscience or backbone wouldn't do such a thing, right?

No matter how much Li Zicheng mistreated them after taking control of the capital, Han Xin would not hold it against them for betraying him and joining Zhang Xianzhong or any other rebel force.

The only thing that was unacceptable was that they chose to surrender to the Qing army.

They were well aware of the horrific consequences that followed the Qing army's entry into the pass.

"But if we don't accept the surrendered soldiers, our army will suffer heavy losses in this battle. When we face the troops of other forces, we will probably be unable to compete."

Killing surrendered soldiers is not uncommon.

After all, there's so much history to tell us, and no matter what happens, we can always find examples from our predecessors in history.

But most of those things happened after we had gained an absolute advantage, or even after the enemy had surrendered.

In wartime, directly refusing those who surrender is tantamount to forcing the enemy to fight to the death.

Is this right?

"Don't worry, our army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and Zhang Xianzhong won't be having an easy time either. Scouts have already reported that his troops are almost here."

"Furthermore, what do you think was the reason I deliberately led some of the enemy troops in that direction?"

Han Xin pointed to the sand table.

Within the great formation that had completely surrounded the Qing dynasty, a gap had indeed opened.

Furthermore, some troops deliberately led a portion of the Qing army out through this opening.

The exit was directly facing the direction Zhang Xianzhong had come from.

Since he had already decided that he would not accept surrender in this battle, he had naturally planned everything that followed.

"what……"

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Outside the canopy, Yang Jian listened to Han Xin's plan and was momentarily at a loss for how to evaluate it.

Although I know that people who play the art of war are often corrupt, how could they be this corrupt?

Zhang Xianzhong, at least, made the decision to fight against the Manchus without the slightest hesitation.

So this is how you plan it?

"To be honest, the plan was indeed ingenious, but it was a bit too much..."

"Is it devoid of humanity? Or rather, is it a great disservice to Zhang Xianzhong's passionate spirit?"

Such a tactic is too easily disheartening.

It's too easy to cause dissatisfaction among the vast majority of people.

"Have you made a mistake?"

"You don't think that Han Xin's nonchalant remarks were intentional, do you?"

Seeing that most people on the sky were starting to criticize Han Xin, Li Er became quite angry.

Do these people think the situation is already settled?

Do they think Han Xin can win easily?

"It was indeed intentional, but it was also something we had no other choice to do."

"It is understandable that they were unwilling to accept these surrendered soldiers. After surrendering to Dorgon, almost every one of them had the blood of their former comrades and even ordinary people on their hands."

"Not to mention Han Xin's unwillingness to accept them, even Emperor Gaozu would have made the same decision after learning about this situation."

"But this will create a problem. To annihilate these troops is not just a matter of potentially heavy losses. After arousing their fighting spirit, it is also a question of whether we can stop them."

Therefore, while refusing to accept surrendered soldiers, it is also necessary to open a gap in the encirclement so that these people can see the hope of escaping.

As for deliberately leading some troops in the direction of Zhang Xianzhong's march.

That's purely the idea of ​​annihilating them all, not wanting to let a single one escape.

If Zhang Xianzhong knew the reason behind this, he would not only not blame him, but would also be very grateful for this perfect cooperation!

He didn't just send troops to the Central Plains for show; he really came to kill the enemy!

"You underestimate Zhang Xianzhong and look down on Han Xin."

"If he truly went there with the intention of harming Zhang Xianzhong, then he would have attracted far more than just this portion of the Qing army!"

"After the Qing army and Zhang Xianzhong were both severely weakened, it would not be difficult for Han Xin to take over the battlefield."

"Yet he still chose to launch a siege before Zhang Xianzhong arrived, yet he felt he was harming Zhang Xianzhong. Wasn't that underestimating him?"

Old Zhu held the same view.

As the saying goes, Han Xin had countless ways to harm people.

Those who wield military strategy may indeed be cunning, but not to the point of harming the enemy by eight hundred while injuring themselves by a thousand.

"Don't forget, the vast majority of the Qing army was held back by Han Xin and his untrained soldiers who could only read military orders."

"Although we don't know what he promised, these people were just standing at the forefront out of sheer passion, including those who were practically being sent to their deaths as bait."

"If Zhang Xianzhong, after knowing the inside story, still thought that Han Xin shouldn't have led the enemy to him, then he's a complete idiot!"

Both sides currently share a common enemy.

Furthermore, Zhang Xianzhong never said that he wanted to preserve his strength to fight for the world.

His purpose in leaving Sichuan was to resist the Manchu Tartars, and the enemy that Han Xin led there were the surrendered soldiers who had surrendered to the Qing army.

Both sides hit it off immediately, but you little trolls say it won't work?

Did you ask Zhang Xianzhong if he thought it was feasible?

Just as the two sides were arguing heatedly over differing viewpoints, an image of Zhang Xianzhong appeared on the screen.

"What did you say? Someone deliberately lured the Qing army this way?"

"Are there already people engaging the Qing army?"

"Damn it, which hero is this, with such guts?"

"Were those Qing troops lured here by their men?"

"My lads, the time has come to make our mark! No matter which side this hero is on, I'm sure I'll have a good drink with him after this battle!"
