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

After returning to Sishui Pass, Xiang Yu didn't say much, only that he would give Liu Hong another chance.

However, Huangfu Song still learned about the situation on the Luoyang city wall from the soldiers below!

As the ruler of a country, instead of thinking about how to improve the lives of the people under his rule, he uses them as a shield!

Doesn't he ever think about why so many people in the world want to oppose him?

The will of the people has been completely abandoned by them!

Liu Hong's move not only enraged Huangfu Song, but also crossed the bottom line of various warlords.

Having just stabilized their respective territories, they naturally led their troops to Luoyang's aid when the city fell into crisis.

However, after news spread that the walls of Luoyang city were built by ordinary people, complaints arose among their subordinates.

Upon receiving the news, the various warlords immediately traveled overnight and gathered together.

"Has His Majesty not considered that most of the soldiers under our rule are also of commoner origin? How are we supposed to conduct ourselves if he does this?"

"Perhaps the situation is too critical, leaving no other choice?"

"Nonsense! There are at least 50,000 troops in Luoyang, and the city walls are incredibly strong. Unless the Yellow Turban Army were given wings, there is absolutely no way they could breach Luoyang within a month!"

"There must be treacherous officials in the court who would devise such a heinous scheme for His Majesty!"

The last sentence came from Liu Yu, the former governor of Youzhou and now the prefect of Youzhou.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with some curiosity.

"Bo'an, how long has it been since you last returned to Luoyang?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu blinked.

"It's been about ten years, what happened?"

"No wonder."

Liu Yan patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not that there are treacherous officials in the court, but rather that treacherous officials have made up the entire court."

"The Ten Attendants controlled the court and amassed wealth everywhere, while the aristocratic families only cared about bringing benefits to their own families."

"It's not surprising that this idea came from either side. In their eyes, as long as their own interests are not harmed, the common people are just ants that can be sacrificed at will."

Liu Yu: "..."

"understood."

"So, besides suppressing the rebellion, there's another matter to attend to on this trip to Luoyang."

"What's the matter?"

"Qingjun side!"

……

"Have the people on the city wall not come down yet?"

Xiang Yu waited at Sishui Pass until noon the next day.

The scouts always reported the same answer.

Countless people remained on the city wall, and many even fainted from exhaustion, but the court officials simply left them there.

"Understood, bring everyone back."

Xiang Yu remained expressionless.

No one knows what he's thinking.

Only Liu Bang, who was familiar with him, knew that if this murderous scoundrel were to fly into a rage or utter a curse, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But the more silent and expressionless they are, the bigger the problem must be!

Based on Liu Bang's understanding of him, after the fall of Luoyang, he estimated that all officials of his own rank and above would be wiped out!

"But if we really bring them back, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

"They'll just think this tactic is useful to us, and if our army shows any signs of attacking the city again, they'll follow suit!"

We can't retreat!

This is Huangfu Song's opinion.

"We will not attack the city again. As long as all the armies that came to the aid of the emperor are wiped out, we will write two letters of surrender, and people in the city will naturally rush to open the gates and surrender."

Since the imperial court's hopes lie with the various warlords, then let's shatter those hopes!

"what?"

"The intelligence has been sent back. The allied forces of the feudal lords are jointly commanded by Liu Yan and Liu Yu, with a total of 150,000 troops."

"Moreover, their army consists mostly of elite troops, including a significant number of cavalry. If we were to engage them head-on with our current strength, we would likely suffer losses!"

Huangfu Song quickly laid out the intelligence report one by one.

The biggest disadvantage of the Yellow Turban Army was that it had no cavalry.

Once they break away from Sishui Pass and directly clash with the allied forces of those lords, the infantry will be at a great disadvantage against the cavalry!

"Even if they have cavalry, it depends on who they're facing!"

Infantry against cavalry.

Xiang Yu had already seen it more than once in the last challenge.

If Yue Fei could do it, so could Xiang Yu!

An unusual calm has descended between Sishui Pass and Luoyang.

This calm lasted for more than half a month.

Until the day when the allied forces of the feudal lords arrived outside the pass and set up camp to rest.

at night.

Xiang Yu led eight thousand elite soldiers and stood outside Sishui Pass under the cover of night.

There was barely concealed anger in everyone's eyes.

Luoyang threatened them with the lives of its people, deterring them from launching a direct attack.

This pent-up anger always needs to be vented!

"I've been holding this in for a long time, and I believe you have too."

"Keep the horses for me, but don't take any people alive."

"Let the imperial court know the consequences of angering me!"

"Kill them all!"

Xiang Yu's low roar echoed through the night.

None of the allied lords could have imagined this.

Facing their elite army of 150,000, the Yellow Turbans still dared to launch an attack!

Just as the patrol team exclaimed in alarm at the attack on the camp, the sound of bugles suddenly resounded throughout the entire camp.

"Anyone not wearing a yellow turban is an enemy and can be killed!"

Xiang Yu no longer suppressed his voice, and swept out with his halberd, smashing the head and helmet of the Han soldier charging at the front of the charge to a crisp.

"Heaven is dead!"

"Huang Tian is standing!"

"The year is Jiazi!"

"Good luck to the world!"

After the shouts rang out, the entire Yellow Turban Army seemed oblivious to pain and unafraid of death!

Liu Yu even witnessed a man with a yellow turban tied around his head and several knives stuck in his body, yet he still held on to his last breath and beheaded the Han soldier in front of him.

Are these people crazy?

It's one thing if one person isn't afraid of death, but it's quite frightening when countless soldiers are like that!

"The camp is too chaotic. We can't even see how many enemies there are. If the fighting continues, our soldiers will be scattered!"

"Bo'an, let's retreat!"

Liu Yan arrived at Liu Yu's tent immediately.

He had gathered almost all the warlords together, waiting only for Liu Yu.

But Liu Yu simply shook his head.

"Cannot withdraw."

"Have you already forgotten the lesson the Golden Man taught you in the last challenge issued by the Immortal?"

"Given Xiang Yu's bravery, he will never give us a chance to regroup. Once we retreat, we'll likely be powerless to fight back!"

How similar is the current situation to the last challenge?

If the Jurchens were to remain in the main camp, they could hold out in the chaos of battle, even if casualties increased, at least they would not suffer a complete defeat!

They are the same right now!

It is not difficult to know from the intelligence that Xiang Yu only had 8,000 elite troops, and the rest were mostly a rabble!

If we can wipe out those eight thousand elite soldiers in this chaotic battle tonight, then taking back Sishui Pass will be no problem at all!

"Bo'an, are you crazy?!"

"If our army suffers heavy losses here, how will we suppress the Yellow Turbans in various places?"

"Don't forget, we each have a bunch of troubles to deal with!"
