Sky Curtain: The Overlord Charges into Battle, Shocking Emperors of All Dynasties

During the Tang Dynasty's Wude era,

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Yuan and his family enjoyed a harmonious and joyful time, drinking and watching dances in a lively and festive atmosphere.

Li Jiancheng had long since come to terms with it; if he really became emperor, he would be overworked to death.

I wouldn't even be a dog to be a prince!

Li Yuan picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and laughed heartily.

"That was so much fun!! So much fun!!!"

What Four Great Inventions, what benefits to the country and the people? Those are all things that the Crown Prince Erlang should worry about. Next year, we'll hand over the throne to Erlang.

He won't suffer that pain anymore.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng with a resentful expression, his face full of weariness.

These two don't do anything at all!

What's the difference between him and the emperor now? He's doing the emperor's job, but he's still called the crown prince.

Li Shimin chewed the meat in his mouth fiercely.

If the old man doesn't step down soon, I'm getting impatient.

"Second brother, if you're too tired, just tell me, and I'll help you out."

Li Yuanji quietly approached, his expression clearly showing his desire to share his brother's burdens, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

"That won't be necessary, Second Brother can still manage."

Li Shimin replied indifferently, not believing Li Yuanji's nonsense. He was definitely plotting to seize power!

Seeing the suspicion and disdain in Li Shimin's eyes, Li Yuanji felt deeply hurt.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

He just wanted to get along well with his second brother. You three, father, son, and brothers, are having a great time, leaving me all alone. Did you ever think about what kind of life I'm living?!

"Erlang, I hereby appoint you as the Supreme General of Heavenly Strategy!!"

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji shuddered, their eyes filled with anger, and they glared at Li Yuan.

The old man's had too much to drink, hasn't he? He dares to say that a second time!

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

The two quickly realized that the voice didn't seem to be coming from Li Yuan's mouth, but from the sky.

During the Zhenguan era,

Li Yuan, now the retired emperor, painfully gulped down a cup of wine.

Those were the happiest times of his life; his second son's contributions were so great that no reward could be given.

He was happy at the time, but also a little worried. Erlang had so much power, what would Jiancheng think?

He soon stopped worrying; the Xuanwu Gate Incident had resolved all the problems.

And each dynasty, due to the reopening of the celestial canopy, became lively once again.

"General Tian Ce, is Tian Mu going to talk about Li Shimin this time?"

Liu Che had long been curious about this emperor of later generations. Previously, Tianmu had only mentioned the Xuanwu Gate Incident, in which the emperor killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate, but there was still so much favoritism towards him in later generations.

"I want to see what abilities Li Shimin has that make him worthy of being called the Supreme General of Heavenly Strategy, and what makes him so favored by later generations."

"General of Heavenly Strategy, what a prestigious title! Commanding the armies of the realm in the name of Heaven, how impressive!"

As Wei Qing and Huo Qubing listened to Liu Che's words, they felt a pang of jealousy for some reason.

"General of Heavenly Strategy, I really want that title!"

During the Hongwu era, Zhu Di dreamt that if he were the General of the Heavenly Strategy, he would definitely embroider this title on the banner, and the Prince of Yan's mansion was renamed the General of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion.

Unfortunately, given his father's character, he certainly wouldn't give him that title, leaving him feeling dejected.

Just as Zhu Di was feeling dejected, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Biao standing to the side, gazing at the sky.

I still have my older brother!

The dejection was instantly replaced by fervor. Zhu Di stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Biao's hand, and spoke with fervor.

"Big brother, when are you going to become emperor?!"

With a burst of rousing drumbeats,

The camera rapidly shifts to a vast army, with banners fluttering in the sky. One after another, the Xuanjia Army, clad in black armor and wearing demon masks, riding steeds and wielding spears and bows, appears fiercely against the heavens.

Blood rains down, the winds tear through the darkness, and a majestic phoenix faces life and death.

Heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but to be considered a hero is merely a matter of stepping across the threshold.

"Arrogant!!"

"Such arrogance!!"

People in dynasties before the Tang Dynasty used to curse loudly.

What does that mean? We're already considered extremely high praise to be called heroes.

Now we heroes have become the threshold to see you?

"I refuse to accept this!"

Emperor Wu of Han was so jealous his eyes turned red! Later generations are so biased!! I also want future generations to speak of my achievements in the same way!!

Li Shimin, if you're so capable, then give it a try. I want to see how you treat other heroes as a threshold.

Three Kingdoms

Guan Yu stroked his magnificent beard, his phoenix eyes filled with unyielding defiance.

He always regarded other people as worthless scoundrels, and even though his Green Dragon Crescent Blade never beheaded nameless rats, he still dared not utter such a statement.

He wanted to see just how capable Li Shimin was in battle.

He was born with the qualities of a dragon and phoenix, and possessed an appearance as bright as the sun and the moon.

The splendor and magnificence of the Tang Dynasty ultimately rested solely on the shoulders of Prince Qin.

Throughout history, no one has been more capable of leading a military campaign than Li Shimin.

In August of the thirteenth year of the Daye era of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin, only eighteen years old, raised an army in Jinyang and stormed into Chang'an. With only two hundred light cavalry, he broke into the enemy's formation and cut off their army.

[Enemy arrows rained down, but even when struck by stray arrows, he pulled them out and fought on, furiously slaying dozens until both his blades were chipped.]

Within three months, the Tang army broke through the pass and entered the capital, then enthroned his father as emperor, establishing the Tang Dynasty and changing the era name to Wude.

This marked the beginning of a new era, a period of reshaping the world and sweeping away all rivals.

In the scene, Li Shimin rides his horse amidst a vast army, wielding his long sword with unparalleled bravery.

The military generals of the Zhenguan era were even more excited when they saw this, as if they had returned to the scene of following Li Shimin on horseback and fighting fiercely.

Looking at the fervent, admiring gazes below, Li Shimin slightly raised his head, a smile playing on his lips, and appeared considerably younger.

With the bearing of a dragon and phoenix, and the countenance of the sun and the heavens,

What a wonderful sentence! I love it!

When I was young, I was this brave and valiant. Which emperor dared to compare with me in commanding troops?

Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, right? He wasn't qualified!

This was said by later generations themselves.

The King of Qin's contributions were immense.

I grant you this title.

[General Tian Ce!!]

An aged voice spoke with unwavering resolve, brimming with undisguised pride and self-satisfaction.

In the sky, Li Shimin, clad in armor, flicked his cloak, turned around, and looked around, his brows furrowed with confidence and triumph.

In August of the first year of the Wude era, Xue Ju and his son led 100,000 Western Qin cavalry, eyeing Chang'an menacingly.

In a time of crisis, Li Shimin led an army of 30,000 to lead a western expedition.

The two armies were locked in a fierce stalemate for sixty days, stretching for over thirty miles around Qianshuiyuan.

[Until the enemy forces were exhausted, Li Shimin swept through the north of the plains, killing enemy generals in his advance.]

[The mighty bow at his waist is drawn to its fullest extent; the white feathers that leave the bowstring pierce through seven layers of armor.]

[With only a few dozen elite cavalrymen as the vanguard, wielding eighteen-foot spears, they charged straight into the enemy camp.]

The enemy troops were thrown into chaos and routed.

In this battle, more than 5,000 people were killed in action, and tens of thousands were captured and incorporated into the army. Xue Rengao was escorted back to Chang'an and beheaded as a warning to others.

[The Tang Dynasty was free from western border troubles from then on]

"Tch~"

"What's so special about that? You call yourself a General of Heavenly Strategy with such meager achievements?"

"Anyone with a stronger general could do the same."

Liu Che grew impatient and, before the images on the screen had finished playing, hastily expressed his opinion.

Wei Qing remembered that the sky screen had mentioned Li Shimin's other battles, and whispered a reminder.

"Your Majesty, it seems Tianmu hasn't finished speaking yet; he hasn't even mentioned capturing the two kings at Hulao Pass."

Liu Che's expression froze; he was too anxious.

He panicked!
