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

For a long time, the Qing army was so badly defeated by Li Dingguo that they even considered retreating to the area outside the Great Wall.

Moreover, this person was not a late bloomer; rather, he genuinely demonstrated exceptional talent and ability at a young age.

He can bring peace to the world with his pen, and he can conquer the world on horseback.

This statement might be considered an exaggeration for most people, but it is absolutely true for Li Dingguo!

Upon receiving Fuheng's answer, Qianlong's heart sank.

Not long ago, he was still complaining that merely breaking through Zhang Xianzhong's defenses did not save enough face for the Qing Dynasty.

But now, he only feels that he was too naive not long ago.

With Li Dingguo around, how could Zhang Xianzhong's camp possibly be the easiest target!

Even though most of the soldiers in the Great Western Army were indeed suffering from some discomfort due to the change in environment, it wasn't true that not a single one of them was incapable of wielding a sword!

The premise for such an easy breakthrough and subsequent massacre was that, apart from Zhang Xianzhong, there was no one else in the military camp capable of taking charge.

But now, it seems that the situation is not like that.

Emperor Qianlong did not see anyone similar to Li Dingguo by Zhang Xianzhong's side.

This means that the young general most likely stayed in the military camp!

"Rebel?"

"Although I don't know who this guy is talking about, he's a traitor to him, but we're definitely good guys to him!"

"But can anyone explain who this traitor whom Qianlong so hates so much is?"

"Zhu Youjian, do you know any clues?"

Old Zhu asked impatiently.

However, Emperor Chongzhen simply shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

He knew quite a bit about Li Zicheng, but Zhang Xianzhong…

Aside from knowing that this guy liked to rob wealthy gentry and princes, we knew nothing else about him.

After all, in terms of threat, Zhang Xianzhong, with his bandit-like behavior, was far less threatening than Li Zicheng.

As for what happened after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng was overthrown by the Manchus, Zhu Youjian himself was unaware of what followed.

"What's the use of you!"

Old Zhu let out a long sigh.

How come you don’t know anything!

"After all, this happened after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Old Zhu, you are indeed asking too much of us."

"However, I am now also curious about who this traitor that Qianlong mentioned is, that he is so wary of him?"

Without a doubt, he must be one of Zhang Xianzhong's men.

And he enjoyed Zhang Xianzhong's great trust.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to overcome all opposition and successfully lead the Great Western Army to defect to the Southern Ming!

"Hey you, do you know which generals under Zhang Xianzhong trusted him? If not, go ask him."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be many."

People like Zhang Xianzhong might have loyal followers or adopted sons; it doesn't matter what you call them.

The important thing is that these people will definitely be on the court's list of rebels!

"A general trusted by Zhang Xianzhong?"

Zhu Youjian glanced at the officials below.

Immediately, everyone lowered their heads and pretended to be busy.

After a long while, someone finally looked up.

"Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, Sun Kewang..."

"Zhang Xianzhong had many adopted sons, but these four were probably the ones he trusted the most."

If nothing unexpected happens, the traitor mentioned by Emperor Qianlong will be among these four.

The traitor mentioned by Emperor Qianlong must have been quite capable, and at least caused considerable trouble for the Qing court.

With such a formidable figure in charge, Dorgon's raid on the camp this time was probably not about picking on a weak target, but rather about running into a brick wall!

"Li Dingguo, it's Li Dingguo again!"

"Why does he have to oppose my Great Qing Dynasty!"

"When Zhang Xianzhong died, weren't the conditions offered by our Great Qing to recruit him generous enough?!"

"But he insists on talking about national righteousness and the common people. What do the common people have to do with him?"

"In the end, he's just a hopelessly pedantic person, wasting the talent that God gave him!"

Upon seeing this name, Emperor Qianlong could no longer contain himself.

When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it first defeated Li Zicheng and then beheaded Zhang Xianzhong.

The Southern Ming was in internal chaos and had almost no will to resist.

In this situation, many rebel generals chose to obediently surrender to the Qing Dynasty in exchange for wealth and status.

But it had to be this Li Dingguo!

It is not difficult to learn from the words of the generals of the Great Western Army who later surrendered that it was he who, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, defied public opinion and refused to surrender to the Qing, instead surrendering to the Southern Ming.

It was he who led the Qing army to suffer repeated defeats in several consecutive battles!

The fact that the Qing Dynasty achieved unification so late was largely due to him.

If it weren't for Li Dingguo, or if he had chosen to surrender to the Qing at the first opportunity, it wouldn't have taken more than a few decades to recover Sichuan!

Not to mention the soldiers who died at the hands of Li Dingguo.

He single-handedly dragged the Qing Dynasty into a quagmire!

"There's going to be a good show. I told you, it's not in Han Xin's interest to let the Qing army break through Zhang Xianzhong's defenses so easily."

"Others might have used this low-level tactic of using someone else to kill them, but Han Xin's thinking was never that simple."

At least in letting Dorgon escape, it's an oversight unlike anything Han Xin would have made.

"Both sides suffer?"

"After all, even the best general will find it difficult to exert much strength when leading a group of sickly soldiers."

"The likely outcome is that both sides will suffer heavy losses."

"But in doing so, Dorgon will completely lose the chance to make a comeback."

"At that time, he will face a choice: either abandon most of the people and take only a dozen or so people he can truly trust to escape from the cracks."

"Either we're trapped in this pocket and completely wiped out."

"This time, Han Xin will not deliberately leave an opening for him to escape. As a blade, he has already fulfilled all his missions."

It goes without saying what will happen to the knife after it has completed its mission.

Let this sword break on the battlefield; that's the best fate for it!

"What can Li Dingguo do? Does he really think he can outmaneuver the warriors of our Great Qing?"

"Even at the height of the Great Western Army, it was no match for the warriors of our Great Qing; they could only win by sheer numbers!"

"And now? These remnants of the army, even if we leave them alone, many will probably die of illness. With soldiers like these, how could Li Dingguo possibly turn the world upside down?"

"At most, it will only result in mutual destruction. Let me show you the might of the warriors of the Great Qing!"

Although he had a bad feeling, Qianlong could only pretend to be tough.

Even if Dorgon actually loses the challenge, he can't lose in words!

The worst-case scenario is that both sides will suffer losses!

It's not bad that he was able to lead over a thousand cavalrymen to a draw against Zhang Xianzhong's main force, resulting in heavy losses for both sides!

There was no other way; Emperor Qianlong was now forced to lower his standards lower and lower.

As long as both sides suffer heavy losses, it at least demonstrates that the Qing soldiers are quite capable in combat.

"Oh, so now it's become a matter of both sides being severely injured by Zhang Xianzhong, and that's considered showing off the might of the Qing warriors?"

"You lowered your bottom line a little too quickly, didn't you?"
