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

"Your Highness, you are not calm enough right now, please forgive me."

A cold glint flashed in the lieutenant's eyes.

Just as Dorgon was about to reprimand him, a tremendous force from behind knocked him unconscious.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first."

"When the prince wakes up, he will naturally understand our good intentions."

Under the watchful eyes of countless people outside the canopy, Dorgon's most trusted guards knocked him unconscious and took him away.

"Even Han Xin probably couldn't have predicted such an outcome, could he?"

Li Er was dumbfounded.

How could the Manchu soldiers have such audacity?

Back when he was still the King of Qin, no one would have dared to treat him like this!

Even if his orders were to send soldiers to their deaths, his soldiers would follow them to the death, and his personal guards would never question them.

In contrast, the actions of Dorgon's personal guards are rather bizarre!

"It would be strange if Han Xin could have foreseen this. He could have imagined the Qing army's fighting strength and how they would act in the face of his encirclement."

"But he never imagined that Dorgon's personal guards would act on their own initiative, even knocking him unconscious and taking him away!"

"We believe that, within Han Xin's plan, Li Dingguo may not die, but Dorgon will definitely remain on this battlefield forever."

"But now, although the Qing army has no chance to turn the tide, they are about to let Dorgon escape."

It may not be a future problem, but it will definitely cause headaches.

With such a small force rampaging through the Central Plains, capturing and annihilating them would be exponentially more difficult.

"Wouldn't you call this a case of capsizing in a ditch?"

"Even though they had already gone this far, they still let Dorgon, the most important person, escape."

"Furthermore, Xiang Ji did not achieve complete victory in this battle, and many Qing soldiers with blood on their hands are still alive."

"If Dorgon is allowed to catch his breath, the hidden dangers beyond the Great Wall will still remain."

"With Xiang Ji around, it's unlikely that he can take advantage of this battle to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong as well."

Zhao Kuangyin could see that Han Xin wanted to use this battle to achieve complete victory and directly intercept and kill Dorgon here.

If everything goes smoothly, it might even be possible to take down Zhang Xianzhong as well.

Given the current situation, Dorgon is very likely to be taken away by his personal guards.

Zhang Xianzhong could be dealt with incidentally, and Liu Bang wouldn't mind taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

But let's not forget that Liu Bang wasn't the only one who dominated this challenge.

Given Xiang Yu's temperament, if he knew about Zhang Xianzhong's actions in this battle, as well as the sacrifices made by Li Dingguo and his soldiers, he would be furious.

Would Xiang Yu just stand by and watch Han Xin take advantage of their weakness and kill them?

"Given Xiang Yu's indecisive nature, if Han Xin really insisted on going his own way, he might actually turn his spear against him."

Liu Heng thought about it, and it seemed that the truth was indeed like that.

Dealing with the Qing army was undoubtedly a no-brainer, and no one understood better than Xiang Yu how to crush the Qing army's confidence in a head-on confrontation.

However, apart from the Qing army, especially the allies who fought alongside him and suffered heavy casualties, Xiang Yu took advantage of their vulnerability to kill them.

There's a high chance he'll turn around and stab you twice.

Contrary to his inhuman bravery, this was Xiang Yu's true nature.

Indecisive and fussy.

"You're just worrying unnecessarily. Even if we let Zhang Xianzhong return to Sichuan, what difference would it make?"

"After the Southern Ming is destroyed, given Emperor Gaozu's methods of governing the country, it won't be long before Zhang Xianzhong will be forced to submit."

"It took the Manchus decades to recover Sichuan because they massacred people and did not treat them as human beings, so the resistance was particularly fierce."

"If the people of the Central Plains gradually become more prosperous, no one will go hungry."

"By then, will the people of Sichuan still be willing to risk their lives to rebel against Zhang Xianzhong?"

"Don't overthink it. The only problem right now is Dorgon!"

Old Zhu came from a poor background, and he understood the thoughts of impoverished people best.

If they have food to eat, can survive, and can see hope, they would never risk their lives to rebel!

The area of ​​Sichuan was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack when it had the support of the people. However, once the people's hearts turned to the Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to surrender the city.

Whether or not Zhang Xianzhong was dealt with was completely unimportant to him!

The only important one is Dorgon.

After all, he was once considered the greatest contributor to the Qing army's entry into the Central Plains, according to historical records.

Judging from the footage from this period, his abilities may not have been as good as Han Xin's or Liu Bang's, but they were certainly not bad either.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to defeat Li Zicheng in such a short time, and even to take over almost everything belonging to the Shun army.

If such people are released again, the threat will remain forever!

"The problem is, nobody can stop them."

"Han Xin must have thought that Dorgon had no desire to escape anymore and would choose to stay here and fight to the death, making this battlefield his burial place."

"But he could never have imagined that Dorgon's personal guards would have the audacity to do such a thing."

In the scene, several hundred Qing cavalrymen broke out of Zhang Xianzhong's camp amidst the chaos before being surrounded on three sides.

Dorgon, who was unconscious, rushed out with them.

They headed straight for Sichuan, remembering Dorgon's words from not long ago.

After leaving the battlefield, they entered Sichuan.

They can advance to conquer the world, or retreat to establish their own territory.

Having fought for so long and suffered so many defeats, the Qing army had probably given up on the idea of ​​conquering the world.

The most tempting option for them right now is to establish their own independent territory!

They entered Sichuan, plundered money and grain, collected slaves, recruited soldiers and horses, and established their own independent regime!

When it comes time to reward those who have made contributions, each of them will receive more money and food than they can ever eat or spend in a lifetime!

When Dorgon woke up, he was completely at a loss looking at the unfamiliar scenery before him.

"What have you done? Where am I? Where are my soldiers?"

Why are only you two here?

He wanted to stay on that battlefield and fight to the death to try and win at the last chance of victory.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten what you used to say most often: 'Where there's life, there's hope.'"

"Don't worry, the brothers have brought some food and supplies, plus what they've looted along the way, it should be enough to last until we reach Shu."

“The bandit Zhang Xianzhong has mobilized all his forces to deal with us, so the defenses in Sichuan must be weak at this time.”

"When the time comes, you give the order, and we will conquer cities and seize strongholds for you. At worst, we can just establish a separatist regime in Sichuan and enjoy a life of pleasure, right?"

The worst-case scenario: living a life of pleasure?

After looting and pillaging along the way, do you still want to carve out your own territory?

You've stopped acting altogether, so what makes you think you can dominate Sichuan and establish a regional power?
