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

"He did not use such methods."

"Whether he didn't expect it or disdained to use it, isn't it all his own choice?"

Old Zhu agreed with Li Er's words.

Since it's a fair competition, everything is justified as long as it's within the rules.

There's nothing more shameful about it.

Rather than saying that Han Xin used a trick, it would be more accurate to say that the two became rivals from the moment they received the imperial decree.

"But in that case, didn't Emperor Gaozu overlook something?"

"Dorgon doesn't seem to be dead yet; his hundreds of personal guards are still around."

"Although they haven't found a chance to escape beyond the pass yet, they have plundered many remote towns and accumulated a lot of money and food."

“Once Dorgon escapes beyond the Great Wall, although he has lost his will to fight, the Manchus will still be a threat.”

"And these people have the blood of my people in the Central Plains on their hands."

"If these executioners were allowed to escape, they might be able to enjoy their old age in peace back in the Northeast."

"Is this fair to the civilians who lost their lives at their hands?"

Even if Dorgon has completely given up his ambition to rule the Central Plains, so what?

Does a prodigal son's return truly mean that all past transgressions can be forgiven?

In Liu Che's view, the idea that a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold is utter nonsense.

The idea of ​​"letting bygones be bygones" is a joke!

If you make an unforgivable mistake, you deserve to die, whether you turn back or not!

Enjoying a peaceful retirement?

If we don't let them suffer all the cruelest tortures in the world before they die, we'll be letting down the spirits of the people in heaven!

"That's true, not to mention that they not only show no remorse, but are still wreaking havoc to this day."

"In their eyes, they still don't regard the people of the Central Plains as human beings."

"Ultimately, they weren't repenting; they were just afraid of dying."

"Since fear has driven them to this point, then we should go all the way and let them perish completely in their fear!"

"I do not deny that there may be good people among the Manchus who are qualified to enter my Celestial Empire and become my citizens."

"But Dorgon and his men certainly won't have that opportunity!"

They sent Xiang Yu and Han Xin out to target the Southern Ming, but neglected Dorgon.

If Liu Che hadn't mentioned it, Li Er would have almost forgotten about it.

Some of those executioners are still on the run!

"It's not necessarily that we overlooked it."

"Zhang Xianzhong must be itching to fight."

"Although Dorgon did not continue to Sichuan, his area of ​​activity was indeed close to Sichuan."

"If Emperor Gaozu wanted to send troops to suppress them, it would not only be a huge financial burden and costly, but it might not even be very effective."

"After all, the Han army was not very familiar with that place, and the Qing army was very small in number. If they just went into any of the mountains and forests, Emperor Gaozu would not be able to hold out for long."

"Instead of going to such great lengths, it would be better to simply hand this task over to Zhang Xianzhong, whom we are more familiar with."

If a large number of Qing troops escaped, then that is indeed something that needs to be taken seriously.

However, a small force of soldiers positioned in Liu Bang's place was far too difficult to deal with.

"Zhang Xianzhong?"

"We overlooked him."

"Emperor Gaozu sent a large amount of grain to aid the people of Sichuan, which gave Zhang Xianzhong a breather and allowed him to spare enough manpower to catch these rats."

"Don't forget, everyone, Zhang Xianzhong also has capable generals under his command. For example, I really like Li Dingguo."

Liu Che suddenly realized.

It turns out they didn't forget; they simply passed the ball to someone else.

That makes sense.

As everyone was discussing, another scene simultaneously appeared on the sky.

Just as everyone had predicted.

Upon learning that Qing troops were still at large in the Central Plains, and conveniently located around Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong decisively ordered his troops to be dispatched.

By not traveling far, the soldiers in Shu will not suffer from acclimatization problems and can maintain their full fighting strength.

And this whole area is their territory.

How could those rats possibly escape from my doorstep?

“During the previous siege, the Tartar prince did indeed escape from our hands.”

“We bear responsibility for the villages that have been looted and the people who have died during this period.”

"We can't bring the dead back to life, but avenging the dead is our bounden duty!"

“Hongyuan, this time you will lead the troops and bring back the head of that Tartar prince to see me.”

"Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty has chosen to help us with disaster relief, we should naturally reciprocate."

"Dorgon's head was his reward."

Shu cannot be given to Liu Bang for the time being.

Dorgon's head, and the victory of completely wiping out that gang of rats, were the only rewards Zhang Xianzhong could offer!

"Rest assured, Godfather. I may not be able to guarantee anything in other matters, but when it comes to besieging the Qing army, we will not return until we are victorious!"

If he cannot win, Li Dingguo will have no face to return alive and face others!

All the lines were connected at this moment.

Central Plains, Southern Ming, Sichuan, and Manchu Qing.

Liu Bang used appeasement to deal with Shu.

Not only did they not send troops to suppress the rebellion, but they also sent grain without attaching any other conditions.

Regarding the Southern Ming, many people suspect that Liu Bang's intention from beginning to end was to cause an accident for the Han envoys, thereby gaining a legitimate reason to send troops.

The envoy died right there, executed by slow slicing in full view of everyone.

Liu Bang probably didn't expect this outcome.

The officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty were so arrogant and so stupid.

Not to mention Liu Bang, even countless eyes outside the sky could not have imagined it.

As for the Manchu Tartars...

The area outside the pass had already been plundered by Xiang Yu. Except for a few who escaped, the rest basically met their deserved fate.

Dorgon will then face a full-scale encirclement and suppression by Li Dingguo.

The remaining small number of rebels didn't even require Liu Bang to specifically target them.

When popular support gradually wins over, those without sufficient power are generally able to make wise decisions.

Surrender may not guarantee a life of wealth and honor, but it can at least save your life.

The various rebel armies in the Central Plains did not require Liu Bang to expend much effort.

Once everything was pieced together, everyone realized that Liu Bang had already arranged things perfectly for all the various forces while he was entering the Central Plains and becoming emperor.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably the last battle for the Southern Ming.

As for when Zhang Xianzhong will surrender, that's the least of our worries.

Liu Bang might even secretly hope that Zhang Xianzhong could reign for a longer period of time, giving him more time to implement his methods.

"Perhaps from the very beginning of the challenge, Emperor Gaozu already knew which forces could be won over and which forces could only be won over by force."

"The Ming Dynasty was indeed rotten to the core, and even the southward relocation could not change that fact!"
