Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new aerial view appears.

The image depicts a burly, imposing, and menacing military general.

The film opens with an extremely intense and bloody battle scene.

Amidst the sounds of battle and the splattering blood, the sky slowly unfolds its narrative.

Next up is a super-fierce general comparable to Xiang Yu reborn.

[The most capable warrior among the emperors.]

[He is also the only monarch to be demonized by both official and unofficial historical accounts.]

He was eight feet tall and possessed the strength to fight against a thousand soldiers. He once led 5000 remnants of his army to defeat a coalition of 14 Hu people.

[They slaughtered the entire Later Zhao dynasty, which was rife with beasts.]

Historical records state that he charged continuously for 12 hours, fighting from morning till night.

[Winning battle after battle, changing seven warhorses, and fighting from morning till night, they set a new limit for sustained combat by a single soldier in the era of cold weapons.]

[A single edict to exterminate the barbarians quelled the rebellion in the Central Plains, slaughtering millions of Jie barbarians!]

[It became the only glimmer of hope for the Han people in the north during the period of chaos and upheaval caused by the Five Barbarian Tribes.]

[The Former Yan Murong Xianbei army, with 14 masked cavalry, marched south.]

He led Han infantry in ten fierce battles, wielding a hooked halberd in his left hand and a flail in his right, advancing twelve li and beheading forty generals.

Murong Ke changed his commander's flag ten times, but still couldn't stop his army from collapsing.

He single-handedly killed 300 Xianbei cavalrymen.

Ultimately, unable to act alone, he died and his country perished.

After his death, the heavens were enraged; vegetation within a hundred miles withered, and snow fell even in June.

[He was Ran Min, one of the four great "hundred-man killers" in history, the founding emperor of Ran Wei, the terminator of Later Zhao, and the Martial King.]

In the video feed, text is accompanied by intense battle scenes and cool actor performances.

It is highly entertaining.

Even people in ancient times couldn't help but discuss it.

Shang Dynasty.

Di Xin watched as Ran Min charged left and right across the sky, repeatedly breaking through the Xianbei cavalry formation and fighting unstoppable.

They couldn't help but admire Ran Min's bravery.

Di Xin said to the evil one beside him:

“Erlai, look, Ran Min is being shown on the sky screen.”

"From his fighting movements, I can tell that Ran Min is indeed unparalleled in bravery."

"Did later generations call him the Martial Mourning Heavenly King because of his extraordinary martial prowess?"

"I just don't know if this extraordinary martial prowess is based on real history, or if it's just a fictionalized account like in the later TV series 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"

E'lai, also a top-tier warrior, was naturally dissatisfied and said:
"It should just be a fictional story."

"It's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general. How can someone so easily appear who can single-handedly kill hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, the so-called ceiling of martial prowess among emperors?"

"The real Ran Min was probably not that strong in martial arts."

"Even if he really is that strong, I, E'lai, have no fear of him!"

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was unaware of the specific circumstances surrounding Ran Min, who would later become known as Ran Min.

But Liu Bei was well aware of the prevailing trend of the decline of the Xiongnu and the rise of the Xianbei at that time.

On the sky, Ran Min first fought against the Xiongnu, then resisted the Xianbei, and even invaded a million Jiehu.

This is to protect the common people of Hebei and the Central Plains from being slaughtered by the barbarians.

Liu Bei couldn't help but admire and said:
"This Ran Min appears to be a heroic emperor from later generations."

"I remember Tianmu once said that the Five Barbarian Invasions after the Western Jin Dynasty must have included the Xiongnu and Xianbei."

"Ran Min was able to resist the Xiongnu and Xianbei, which was truly remarkable given the backdrop of the Five Barbarian Invasions at that time."

"Unfortunately, Tianmu also said that although Ran Min is extremely brave and fierce."

"In the end, he died from exhaustion due to insufficient strength."

"After Ran Min's death, the north will likely fall into the hands of the Hu people and Xianbei again, which is truly regrettable."

However, in the dynasties that followed the Sixteen Kingdoms period, emperors generally did not appreciate Ran Min as much.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the content displayed on the celestial screen and said with considerable disdain:
"Ran Min? He's nothing but an ambitious man and a warlord."

"A fickle person."

"I must admit, he was indeed quite capable on the battlefield."

"Although I was quite brave in my youth, and charging into battle was commonplace for me, my individual combat skills were indeed inferior to Ran Min's."

"I acknowledge this."

"However, Ran Min only possesses the courage of a common man."

"If Ran Min were to lead troops to fight against me, I would have nine ways to defeat him!"

"Tianmu, why do you have to praise Ran Min, this butcher, of all people? It's really pointless."

As we can see, even in the eyes of the ancients...

Ran Min is also quite controversial.

At this moment, Tianmu officially began to introduce Ran Min.

In 350 AD, Ye City, the capital that had once witnessed the glory of Cao Wei, had become a bloody slaughterhouse. Smoke billowed, the clash of weapons pierced eardrums, and cries and screams tore through the air.

A heavily armored general stood atop the city wall, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic battlefield with an iron-like intensity.

He was Ran Min, a name destined to be soaked in blood and controversy.

Behind him, a large, plain white banner fluttered in the wind.

The three characters "Slay the Barbarians" written in cinnabar on it resembled an invitation to hell.

[This heralds an era of extreme madness and desperate struggle.]

This was no ordinary battle; it was a racial feud that swept across the Central Plains and shook the very heavens and earth.

[The prelude to the near extinction of a vast ethnic group under the sword.]

In chaotic times, life is like a boiling cauldron, and human life is as worthless as grass.

Ran Min was forged in this extreme crucible, the sharpest and most tragic blade.

To understand Ran Min's brutality and tragedy, one must first immerse oneself in the suffocating abyss of that era.

The Five Barbarian Invasions.

The collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty was no ordinary change of dynasty.

Rather, it represents the complete collapse of the entire civilized order.

The internal strife within the Sima imperial family exhausted their strength.

The War of the Eight Princes exhausted the empire's last vestige of vitality.

Taking advantage of the situation, the cavalry of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, and other nomadic tribes swept south, instantly transforming the once prosperous and wealthy Central Plains into a hellish realm.

The historical records are shocking:

"The north was desolate, the Han people migrated south, and the Hu and Di tribes roamed the land; the Han people were nearly slaughtered."

This is not literary exaggeration, but cold reality.

The Xiongnu rulers Liu Yuan and his son Liu Cong conquered Luoyang and Chang'an, capturing Emperors Huai and Min of Jin, thus ending the Western Jin Dynasty.

This was followed by the Later Zhao dynasty established by Shi Le of the Jie people, whose tyrannical rule was utterly appalling.

Shi Hu, Shi Le's adopted son, is historically recognized as a "human demon."

He conscripted hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese to build palaces, and the dead laborers lay piled up on the roads.

[Tens of thousands of Han women were forcibly taken into the harem and subjected to wanton torture and murder for their own amusement;]

His son, Shi Sui, made it a game to cook and eat the flesh of Han Chinese concubines.

The Han people were as lowly as dirt.

The laws of the Shi Zhao dynasty clearly state: "If a barbarian plunders a Han household, he is not guilty; if a Han person injures a barbarian even by a single finger, his entire family (three generations) will be executed."

Han Chinese were even contemptuously referred to as "one-coin Hans."

Their lives are as worthless as ants.

The saying "The northern lands are desolate, a thousand miles without smoke, and white bones cover the fields" is by no means an exaggeration.

The Han Chinese culture and customs were brought to the brink of extinction under the brutal rule of nomadic cavalry.

Survival became the most humble yet strongest instinct among the Han people of that era.

Barrage:

"Shi Hu was truly the most born person in history."

The era with the most births in history.

The Shi Zhao family is indeed a family with a strong lineage.

"They were originally a direct descendant of a primitive tribe; please don't look at this family with the same perspective you would use to view a normal feudal dynasty."

"It's all the Sima family's doing!"

The evil seeds sown by Sima Yi have finally blossomed into the flower of evil.

The history of the Five Barbarian Invasions is too heavy; every time I hear about it, my blood pressure spikes.

There's a reason why people who aren't of our kind are bound to have different hearts.

Later, all these animals were killed.

"How could Shi Hu kill so many people and still die a peaceful death? What a pity!"

"A peaceful death? Hard to say! Shi Hu was completely sidelined afterward; he died when he was no longer of any use."

Suddenly, I can understand Ran Min's behavior.

Although I know that Ran Shi and Li Min's reputations are largely fabricated, after reading this, I can understand why they're being hyped up.

Ran Min: There seem to be a bit too many Hu people in Ye City.

If I were a Han Chinese at that time, and someone finally gave the order: "Kill a barbarian and you'll get promoted and rich," I would have swung my sword faster than anyone else!

And outside the sky.

Late Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao looked at the contents of the sky and thought of the head of Sima Yi, whom he had killed.

He couldn't help but say with some resentment:
"Unfortunately, it was too easy for them."

"But in any case, after I, Cao Cao, pass away, the Sima family will never be able to rise to power again."

"But if we only wipe out the Sima family, can we really ensure that there won't be another Five Barbarian Invasions in later generations?"

"Before looking at the sky, someone mentioned that Cao Cao, the Five Barbarian Invasions, was also responsible?"

Cao Cao turned his gaze to the north of the map, lost in thought. (End of Chapter)
