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

"You rejected the honorable death in battle, and instead want to die a cowardly death at the hands of two-legged sheep."

"I find it hard to imagine what you're thinking."

They plundered along the way to Shu, and then attacked and captured cities and strongholds.

Dorgon was almost laughing in anger.

Why do people say that Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack?

It's because the people of Sichuan are known for their fierce and valiant nature. As long as they have the support of the people, all their able-bodied men can serve as soldiers and fight on the battlefield.

All of this must be based on the support of the people of Sichuan.

You loot along the way, and you still expect their support?

joke!

If you really do that, once you actually enter Sichuan, the people of Sichuan will show you what it means to have a fierce and valiant people!

"Your Highness, do you mean that entering Sichuan is not an option?"

"But what you said before was that once we entered Sichuan, we could establish our own independent regime."

The lieutenant's brain was clearly not big enough to make him think that much.

He could only remember what Dorgon had said before.

Entering Sichuan is tantamount to establishing a regional regime and enjoying a life of pleasure.

"Bring enough money and provisions. The first thing to do upon entering Sichuan is to win over the hearts of the people and win over the local gentry. They will then naturally take charge of integrating the populace."

"We have nothing now, we even have to rely on plundering along the way for food supplies. What can we use to bribe those gentry and get them to support our Great Qing?"

Dorgon believed that everything in the world has a price.

This included supporting the Qing army's control of Sichuan, which also came at a price.

If you offer a sufficient price, those wealthy gentlemen will naturally make the right choice.

Not everyone in this world is as foolish as Zhang Xianzhong.

The problem is, he can't offer that price right now.

In this situation, forcibly entering Sichuan is tantamount to putting oneself in a trap, waiting for the victor of this struggle to catch the turtle.

"So what should we do now?"

The lieutenant panicked.

He clearly hadn't considered that.

"What should I do? You're asking me?"

Dorgon gave him a cold glance.

If I knew what to do, how could I have chosen to die with dignity in the first place?

His every move was anticipated perfectly by the enemy commander.

The destruction of Li Zicheng and the takeover of the Shun army were probably also part of the enemy commander's plan.

After this series of battles, he felt as if he were a puppet in the hands of the enemy commander.

He will go wherever you tell him to go.

He'll do whatever you tell him to do!

The only thing that probably surprised the monster commander was that his own guards knocked him unconscious and brought him out.

Dorgon believed that the enemy commander would surely choose to die on the battlefield.

After all, the situation had become so desperate.

They couldn't even fight each other, and their troop deployment was completely crushed.

He saw no hope whatsoever, and didn't even have the money or supplies to make a comeback.

What other choice do we have but to die on the battlefield?

Unfortunately, his personal guards showed him just that through their actions.

Have!

Be a coward, live a life of ignominy!

Forced to become a coward, he still comes to ask what to do next?

"Your Highness, you led us through the pass, you can't just abandon us!"

Seeing Dorgon's unfriendly expression, the deputy general hurriedly said.

What did he do wrong? He just wanted to live.

"How am I supposed to manage this now?"

I lost so badly I don't even have pants to wear anymore!

A force of over 100,000 entered the pass, but was reduced to only 2,000 in a single battle.

Having finally managed to rebuild their army through Li Zicheng, before they could even set their sights on the Central Plains, they were brought back to square one in a single battle!

Now you're asking me what to do, and you expect me to take care of you?

Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of his deputy general and personal guards, Dorgon could only swallow back his curses.

"What else can we do? Loot along the way, but don't go to Sichuan."

These few hundred defeated soldiers might not even be enough to kill the fierce villagers of Sichuan.

"If we don't go to Sichuan, where should we go now?"

"If the enemy wins this battle, they will surely be able to quickly sweep across the entire Central Plains. If they continue to plunder in the heart of the Central Plains, they will probably be wiped out soon."

Even a deputy general could tell.

This group of enemies was completely different from Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng might also send some brainless strategists to lead troops to their deaths, gradually strengthening their power.

But these enemies, once they made their move, left no chance of survival whatsoever.

Encirclement and suppression were a piece of cake for them.

This was true when we first entered the pass, it was true in the battle not long ago, and it will remain true in the future.

If they cannot rely on the geographical advantage of Sichuan to block the enemy, how will they face the enemy's encirclement and annihilation?

"We will not stay in the Central Plains; this place is ultimately not a place we can conquer."

"Let's plunder, take some money and food, and head back to the border."

That's where they really made their fortune.

The struggle for supremacy among the dynasties in the Central Plains was ultimately beyond their control.

terrible!

"Go back to the border? But there aren't that many slaves there. We didn't bring anything back this time."

"There wasn't even enough food."

How will we survive if we go back to the border region?

"Live the way you lived before, and live the way you live from now on."

"After that terrifying enemy establishes a dynasty in the Central Plains, we will submit to them, pay tribute, and have them provide us with food."

"Or perhaps they plunder the border regions."

"You can survive no matter what."

What else can be done?

Dorgon no longer dared to harbor any ambitions.

"But what if they want to wipe them all out?"

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles, and the emperor simply couldn't spare the time to deal with them.

No matter how much they plunder, as long as they eventually submit, all the past can be forgotten.

But now, the ruler of this soon-to-be-established dynasty is clearly extremely hostile towards them.

I remember their massacres in the Central Plains dynasties, I remember the blood on their hands.

Even before the dynasty was unified and its forces were strong enough, it had already sent people to carry out a massacre outside the Great Wall.

Once the dynasty unifies the country in the future, will the area outside the Great Wall still be considered their safe haven?

"If they really want to wipe them out, it won't matter where they run."

"If those divine generals, those military geniuses, truly don't want to give us a way out, it's useless for us to run away."

Dorgon's last chance for dignity was snatched away by his deputy general, and he is now completely giving up.

If you want to kill him, then kill him; if you don't, he'll just live on for a while.

In any case, the final result is the same.

If you can't beat them, you just can't beat them!

Faced with such an overwhelming enemy, he couldn't even see the slightest hope of resistance.

"You are a loyal prince of my Great Qing Dynasty, how can you admit defeat so easily!"

Do you even know what kind of glory you carry on your shoulders?

Seeing Dorgon's dejected appearance, Qianlong immediately burst into a tirade of curses.

It's one thing to lose on the battlefield, but you actually admitted your defeat from the bottom of your heart, acknowledging that you were inferior to others.

You actually wanted to kneel down before them from the bottom of your heart.

What am I going to liquidate?
