Chapter 289 The title of the No. 1 Succubus of the Great Han Dynasty is indeed well-deserved!
Lingyan Pavilion, the Twenty-Four Meritorious Officials?
Liu Bang was about to ask for details when, after a flash of light, he found himself in Li Er's challenge.
It must be said that Li Er's starting point was much higher than Li Er's back then.
The story begins with one of the top aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty, commanding countless elite soldiers and generals, the kind of family whose every call to arms would be answered by countless people.
To be honest, if he had such power when he raised an army against Qin, he wouldn't have needed to take Qin, which was already on its last legs, seriously, or even Xiang Liang and his group!
While Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and others were certainly formidable figures, it depends on who you're comparing them to.
Compared to top generals like Zhang Han, Wang Li, and Xiang Yu, these people paled in comparison.
If the immortal were to bring Han Xin to this challenge, Liu Bang would say he was absolutely confident!
"The twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion are indeed all top talents. However, when it came to conquering the world, some of them played a great role, while others were less so."
"I haven't had a chance to explain to him who is better at warfare and combat before the challenge begins. Being able to discern their abilities is also a challenge."
Looking at Liu Bang, who seemed somewhat bewildered in the sky, Li Er said helplessly.
He also wanted to recommend Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Jing to Liu Bang first.
Don't let their rough and unrefined nature fool you; when it comes to battle, they are incredibly meticulous.
If used properly, they can easily handle most opponents.
Furthermore, they were absolute confidants during the Xuanwu Gate Incident!
"We haven't had a chance to tell Emperor Gaozu about the opponents we need to be wary of yet."
"At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, many heroes rose up. Some were good at domestic affairs, while others were good at warfare."
"If I remember correctly, Li Er, you also suffered a great loss at the hands of someone, didn't you?"
Old Zhu thought for a moment and said.
Although the immortals started the challenge after the inventory was over, Liu Bang still suffered some losses.
The review was relatively short and mostly from Li Er's perspective, so many things were not explained in detail.
For example, the one that Lao Zhu is talking about right now.
"Are you talking about Liu Heita?"
"That's true, he really is a troublesome character."
Li Er immediately thought of this person.
Famous generals such as Li Shentong, Luo Yi, and Xu Shiji were all defeated by him.
In terms of military campaigns, even ten Dou Jiande's might not be able to match Liu Heita!
His record in his youth was almost entirely smooth sailing, except for this Liu Heita, against whom he stumbled.
"Although you had the last laugh in the end, the process wasn't so smooth. The fact that your famous general suffered such a great loss shows that he is quite capable."
As Old Zhu spoke, his eyes were also fixed on everything happening in the sky.
Liu Bang truly lived up to his reputation as the succubus of the Han Dynasty.
Coupled with his incredibly accurate eye for people, even though he didn't have time to reveal much information, he still managed to thrive in the business world.
Anyone with any ability around him was recruited to his side.
"Well……"
"Old Zhu, I think we might be overthinking things."
Judging from Liu Bang's performance on the celestial screen, Li Er could only say one thing.
Liu Bang truly deserves to be called Emperor Gaozu of Han, and he was the first commoner to become emperor!
When it comes to recognizing and utilizing talent, few can rival him, and he is adept at winning people over.
Aside from his military skills, Li Er felt that Liu Bang at this time would only have done better than him.
He even suddenly had a kind of illusion.
If Liu Bang had continued to develop smoothly like this, would the Xuanwu Gate Incident have occurred?
“Li Er, it seems that your elder brother’s side has also sided with Emperor Gaozu. If this continues, I’m afraid your elder brother will become all alone.”
Old Zhu blinked, seemingly never expecting things to develop in this direction.
The internal strife and the fragmentation of power among warlords in the Sui Dynasty were temporarily set aside, and Liu Bang first integrated all the various forces within the country to his side.
Everyone revered him, and in a short time, Li Jiancheng was reduced to a lonely figure with only the title of eldest son.
Everything proceeded so smoothly and naturally.
The words "generosity and righteousness" are written all over his face, while his ability to win people's hearts is subtle and effortless, yet he makes people willing to pledge their loyalty without even trying.
"Is this the Han Dynasty succubus?!"
Li Er exclaimed in surprise.
He knew his past experiences inside and out, but even so, he never expected that he could avoid fratricide in such a way!
Without a doubt, under these circumstances, no matter how legitimate Li Jiancheng's status as the eldest son might be, he would have no chance whatsoever of vying for the throne!
Even if Li Yuan was senile, he would not go against everyone's wishes and forcefully support Li Jiancheng, who had no foundation, as the crown prince!
"To be honest, before this challenge began, I never imagined that this method could be used to avoid future conflicts between brothers."
Zhu Di was equally astonished.
"Not only did it prevent future infighting among brothers, but it also brought almost all the capable people in the Li clan under its command."
"Going forward, Emperor Gaozu had people who could handle most unexpected situations."
"And once his reputation for being charitable, generous, and good at recognizing talent spreads, I dare not imagine how many people would be willing to come and join him immediately!"
Zhao Kuangyin also couldn't find even the slightest fault in Liu Bang's performance.
It can be said that he took the principle of "playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses" to the extreme in this challenge.
Since we are not as good as Li Er in terms of military strategy and tactics, we should postpone this matter as much as possible.
In any case, as long as the world is eventually unified, the process is not specified in detail in this challenge.
"Indeed, if this line of thinking is followed, Emperor Gaozu will most likely be able to achieve the challenge in his own way."
Li Er nodded silently.
Although he didn't think his own experiences could stump the first commoner emperor in history, it was truly unexpected that Liu Bang could find a way to break the deadlock so quickly.
But what happened next was even more incomprehensible to him.
"Many people from Wagang Village have come to join us just because we're here. Good heavens, isn't this charm a bit too outrageous?"
As time went by, it's unclear whether Liu Bang possessed some kind of charisma or if his reputation for righteousness was simply too effective at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Talented individuals who were originally supposed to be in Wagangzhai or under the command of other warlords were gradually moving closer to Liu Bang.
"The title of the number one succubus of the Han Dynasty is truly well-deserved!"
"There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. The immortal's assessment is truly apt!"
Old Zhu exclaimed in surprise.
In the scene, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and others who were supposed to join the Wagang Army had unknowingly arrived at Liu Bang's side ahead of time.
Li Er was furious.
The difficulty level has been lowered way too quickly!
