Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 22: Tip off and tell King Qin that Li Chengdao is coming!
Ten years ago, the Turkic army marched towards Chang'an, and Youzhou was a must-pass place. When passing through Youzhou, would the bloodthirsty Turks treat Youzhou with respect?

will not!

That is also impossible!
Hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops ravaged Youzhou, looted everywhere, and even ate people!
The people of their tribe call the Han people "two-legged sheep" and consider eating the Han people an honor!

During that period, countless people in Youzhou were eaten.

Youzhou was in pieces.

The people were separated from their wives and children, and nine out of ten homes were empty.

There is blood and tears everywhere, and despair everywhere.

After signing the Weishui Alliance with General Tiance from Weishui, they returned to the grassland and took away countless Youzhou people, treating them as slaves.

How many people can understand the sadness and pain that the people of Youzhou felt?

Even among people in later generations, not many people know this. They only know that Li Shimin is an emperor of all ages and the only black spot in his life is the Xuanwu Gate.

But this only black spot, which can be described as a minor black spot, actually resulted from the deaths of at least tens of millions of Youzhou people!
All this is due to the arrogant and domineering King Qin!

If he had not launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and had followed the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he would have allowed the crown prince to ascend the throne.

At that time, there was no internal strife in the Li royal family, so how could the Turks dare to march south to the Tang Dynasty?

Even if they had a hundred courages, they still wouldn't dare!
On Li Shimin's glorious and brilliant road to becoming emperor, how many people in Youzhou died, shed tears, had their wives and children separated, and had their families destroyed because of his coup...
These history books will not mention this because Li Shimin was their pride. He made all nations come to pay tribute to him, which made them proud, so they automatically ignored the crying people on his way to becoming emperor.

The people of Youzhou were all forgotten, including Li Chengdao who lost his entire family.

The two sides have one thing in common: they are both weak.

And they only focus on the strong.

As for the tears, pain and despair of the weak, no one cares about them.

Looking at the entire history books, only important figures have been recorded, and all small figures are not seen. Even if there are any, such as the Youzhou Incident that year, it was just mentioned in a few words that Youzhou was trampled by the Turks, the Tang Dynasty's northern border was defeated, and nine out of ten houses in Youzhou were empty.

Those who are high and mighty will not say what will happen after the Youzhou City is breached, what will happen after the Han army is defeated, and what will happen to the women.

They will also not tell you how many tears the people of Youzhou shed, how many loved ones they lost, how many injustices they suffered along the way, and how many thrilling escapes they had.

They would not even talk about what the future would be like for the prince's family after Li Shimin ascended the throne, or whether Li Chengdao was dead or alive after he led the remnants of the Eastern Palace's army across the sea.

When asked what the King of Qin promised the Turks on the Wei River that allowed the Turks to withdraw their troops, they still could not tell.

They won’t say anything, they won’t say anything….

Never tell!!
Only the successful big shots are worthy of their attention!

Everyone has a gene that admires the strong.

The successful Li Shimin made them automatically ignore the hardships he had encountered on the way to the top, and even helped General Tian Ce to exonerate himself, thus creating his so-called "perfect" resume.

But is the King of Qin really "perfect"?

Yes!
His resume was perfect, but his descendants used their actions to tell the King of Qin that he was not perfect.

The King of Qin, who came to power through the Battle of Seizing the Gate, should have been more aware of how to handle the brotherly relationships among the next generation of descendants, but his son Li Chengqian rebelled and Li Tai died of depression.

The direct descendants born to Empress Changsun included two daughters and three sons. Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang both died young. The eldest son, Li Chengqian, rebelled, and the third son, Li Tai, died of depression.

If it weren't for Li Zhi, this "perfect" emperor would not even have his direct bloodline inherit his throne.

Four of the five direct descendants died inexplicably, as if God was punishing General Tian Ce.

later.

In the 29-year history of the Tang Dynasty, there were 16 princes, but only of them succeeded in ascending the throne, with a success rate of an extremely frightening percent.

His descendants followed his example.

Every time the throne changes, there will always be a new "Xuanwu Gate Incident" occurring.

He set a bad example, a very bad example.

But those people won't care.

They only think that Li Shimin is perfect and he is a successful person!
They will praise him, love him, and respect him!

Even put him on the throne of God!

Now, the former Grand Master of Heavenly Strategy has become Heavenly Khan, and he is indeed about to ascend to the throne of God.

Now the entire Chang'an City only remembers the Heavenly Khan who is about to ascend to the throne of god, and has forgotten the emperor's eldest grandson Li Chengdao.

Even though they all knew that Li Chengdao had escaped and headed for the sea, no one talked about it.

They forgot him. Losers don't deserve to be remembered. They have completely forgotten this former loser.

But in the West,

Li Chengdao is a...genuine successful person!
No matter how brutal, bloody, or horrible he is.

He is successful in all of them.

Because he founded the Great Yan Empire and pushed the empire to a height that no one in the West dared to ignore!
He, his seven disaster stars, his seven generals, and his soldiers are known to everyone in the West.

And when he leads a million-strong army back to the Tang Dynasty, then... the entire Chang'an City, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, will completely remember this former eldest grandson of the emperor!

Just because he is a successful person and he has millions of troops behind him, no one dares to ignore him!

When the day comes when Li Chengdao returns with a million troops, he will let them know, let the vested interests of that year know, and let the arrogant King of Qin know!

He, Li Chengdao, is back!

He returned safe and sound with a million troops!

He will take revenge for all those who cried back then and pull the clumsy hypocrites like the King of Qin off the altar!

……

now.

The whole inn,

Whether it was the storytellers, the Tang soldiers, or the diners, they were all singing praises to the King of Qin.

And soon.

This inn welcomed a new guest.

This guest was no ordinary one.

He looked disheveled, probably due to the long journey.

His face,
Although it looks pitch black, you can see many differences from the East.

He is not Oriental.

He is... a Westerner!
This Westerner was once a Roman. The reason why I say “once” is because the present-day Rome has been destroyed.

half year ago.

He and a thousand Roman Catholic crusaders were summoned by the Pope. At that time, the Flame was in full swing and was advancing towards Rome with great force. The Pope asked them to come to the East for help.

At that time, they didn't know any countries in the East, but Li Chengdao was from the East, and Rome was on the verge of extinction, so they tried their best and sent people to ask for help.

They travelled light, taking the land route.

After half a year's journey, we finally arrived in the Tang Dynasty.

The Roman soldier in front of him was the only survivor of the reinforcements that had been sought half a year ago.

"Tang...I want to see the Emperor of Tang!"

The Roman soldier spoke loudly.

He speaks fluent Chinese.

The one thousand Vatican Crusaders who came to ask for help half a year ago all knew Chinese, and only those who could speak Chinese would be assigned to the reinforcements.

The words fell.

Everyone in the inn, which was full of joy just now, looked over with confusion.

The Roman soldiers looked at them in panic: "Who of you can take me to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? I will tell him, and tell everyone in the East, that he... Li Chengdao, the incarnation of Satan, is coming!"

"He is coming to your Tang Dynasty with his demon army, seven disasters, and war!"
