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

If the rebel army consisted only of Xiang Yu's forces, Liu Yan would definitely go all out to fight Liu Yu!

After resolving the crisis in Luoyang, they still had to return to their respective territories to continue suppressing the rebellion!

If they suffer heavy losses here, the Yellow Turbans in all the states will likely rise up again!

And by then, probably no one will be able to suppress them!

"Then you retreat. I will lead my main force to hold them off here and give you a chance to regroup!"

Liu Yu hesitated for only a moment before making the most reasonable judgment.

If someone has to make a sacrifice here to hold back the Yellow Turban Army and buy time for the others, then he should do it!

"Then be careful, at most half an hour, the army will be able to surround the entire camp!"

"Bo'an, you only need to hold on for half an hour!"

Liu Yan wasted no time and turned to leave.

As orders were relayed, the various warlords ordered their troops to withdraw from their camps, cutting off the Yellow Turban army's retreat route back to Sishui Pass!

"You're trying to cut off my escape route too?"

The last person to try this was Huangfu Song!

Xiang Yu immediately noticed the movements of the allied forces.

Moreover, the large army left in the camp was a true elite force.

They could react to the attack in the shortest amount of time, and even barely manage to slow him down!

Unfortunately, that's all; it's not enough!

The troops are elite enough, but they lack a general who can lead the army independently.

At least Xiang Yu did not think that someone he could kill in a single encounter could be considered a qualified general.

Except Huangfu Song.

He is old after all.

Liu Yu never expected that none of the generals he was so proud of, who had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, could even withstand a single blow from Xiang Yu!

Xiang Yu's bravery was a hundred times greater than that recorded in historical texts!

In no time, Xiang Yu had already attacked from the outside in, completely breaching the entire camp!

Then they turned around and slaughtered the allied forces of the feudal lords who had cut off their retreat!

When the halberd was held horizontally in front of Liu Yu's neck.

His army either surrendered or died, and the noise in the camp gradually subsided.

"Who are you, and why don't you run away?"

Seeing that Liu Yu showed no fear, Xiang Yu found it quite strange.

Along the way, the generals he encountered either surrendered their cities or fled before their defeat. He had never seen such a tough person before.

"Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was a descendant of Liu Qiang, the Prince of Donghai!"

Liu Yu straightened his clothes, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.

"A member of the Han imperial family."

"I never expected that there would be someone like you in the Han Dynasty."

Xiang Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, wondering if it was a genetic mutation.

Could there be such courageous people among Liu Bang's descendants?

"Someone like me is already considered incompetent among the Han imperial family. There is no need for the Overlord to use me to belittle the Han dynasty."

Liu Yu said calmly.

"Do I need to belittle the Han Dynasty? Back then, Liu Bang abandoned his wife and children, and even his old father, when I was hunting him down. These are all facts."

Xiang Yu sneered.

belittle?

He never belittles others; he only states the facts!

"Emperor Gaozu was forced by circumstances, and in the end, didn't he also avenge that arrow wound at Gaixia?"

"You want to die?"

A fierce glint flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes.

The siege of Gaixia was clearly a result of Liu Bang's treachery and betrayal!

"Among the Han imperial family, there are only those who die in battle, none who surrender. Since I have fallen into the hands of the Overlord, I beg the Overlord to grant me death."

Facing Xiang Yu's murderous gaze, Liu Yu nodded calmly.

Half an hour has passed, but Liu Yan and the others have still not made a move.

Based on Liu Yu's understanding of them, it was easy for him to guess.

They were terrified of Xiang Yu's killings and had already been abandoned.

Since that's the case, it's better to die on the battlefield and at least leave behind a good reputation!

"You want to die, but I'll spare your life. I'll make you see with your own eyes just how disgusting and vicious your so-called Han Dynasty really is!"

"If what you see in the sky isn't clear enough, then I'll take you to see it with your own eyes!"

"I will make you admit it yourself, the Han Dynasty is rotten to the core!"

"Take the warhorses with you, and carry the provisions you can with you. Burn anything you can't take!"

Xiang Yu turned around and waved his hand, and his men immediately stepped forward to arrest Liu Yu.

This battle was quite fruitful.

The amount of grain and fodder brought back was not much, but the warhorses made Xiang Yu laugh for half the night and couldn't sleep.

The other lords fled and sold out, so much so that Liu Yu's cavalry didn't even have a chance to mount their horses.

This is why not a single one of the three thousand warhorses was missing!

While Xiang Yu was reveling in his foolish joy, in the dungeon of Sishui Pass...

Huangfu Song walked in with a complicated expression.

Upon seeing him, Liu Yu was first angry, then helpless.

"When I heard that the General of the Central Army had surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army, I couldn't believe it. In my heart, you should be a loyal and patriotic man. Why would you make such a foolish decision? Could it be that you're really getting old?"

He had seen quite a few of the bullet comments on the screen.

It seemed that among those people, there were only a few people that the burly man could praise highly.

Huangfu Song topped the list!

He was genuinely happy for Huangfu Song.

But the current top spot has already joined another camp!

"...Bo'an, you must have seen what kind of lives the people are living on the sky, right?"

Huangfu Song was not angered by Liu Yu's almost insulting words; instead, he spoke softly.

“I used to think the same way you did.”

"The rebels are just that—rebels. With the efforts of loyal ministers and righteous men like us, the court will only get better and better."

"When I was ordered to suppress the rebels, I killed countless Yellow Turban soldiers. Now that I think about it, I'd say there were at least 80,000, if not 100,000."

"But later I discovered that the Yellow Turbans, or rather Zhang Jiao, were not as ambitious as we had imagined."

"Many of them are just trying to get a full meal and survive."

"As for Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turbans controlled eight provinces and had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. If he had rebelled for power, he could have become king or emperor long ago, but he did not."

His voice was deep, as if he were telling a story, as he recounted his thoughts and reflections over the past period of time.

"Do you know? I've asked a lot of people about their reasons for joining the Yellow Turban Rebellion recently."

“They come up with all sorts of strange and wonderful reasons.”

"But to sum it up in one sentence, it's just that we can't survive."

"The imperial court did not give them a chance to live."

"We can think about gradually changing the court, but do the common people have that time?"

"If they go without rice for ten days, they will starve to death."

"In less than a hundred days, a village will become a desolate wasteland. Even if they resort to cannibalism or exchanging children, they will not be able to survive!"

"We do have time to make changes gradually, but do the people have that time?"

"Bo'an, go and see for yourself. Look at this Central Plains. It should have been a place that produced abundant grain, but what about now?"

"We are high above, we want to change this court, but the people below cannot wait!"

"If they don't want to die, their only option is to overthrow this absurd court!"
