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

Chapter 3: The blood feud of that year, I dare not forget it!

Su Dingfang walked towards the high platform. When he reached the platform, he could see many places in the imperial city of Constantinople.

The captured nobles, the orderly Da Yan soldiers, the blazing sea of ​​fire...
Su Dingfang read a lot.

And that’s not all he saw.

The depths of his eyes reflected the sea of ​​fire.

But it's not just a sea of ​​fire.

The figure of Li Chengdao seemed to appear in her eyes, and her thoughts seemed to be brought back to ten years ago.

 …
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince was killed by the King of Qin, the King of Qi was also killed by Yuchi Jingde, and your brothers and sisters were also...almost all killed. We, the East Palace, have lost this battle. Please retreat with me as soon as possible."

"This is the last remnant of our East Palace. The Crown Prince left us a last word before his death, asking us not to be enemies with the King of Qin. The King of Qin... he is too dazzling! The entire world was conquered by the King of Qin. The Crown Prince is no match for him, and he also thinks that you are no match for him."

"He asked us to escort you away, to leave the Tang Dynasty and go to the Western Regions to live out your life in peace. Your Highness, please follow me on horseback and leave the city."

"What? Your Highness, you... you you you! You want to cross the sea? This is not possible. We have no idea what is on the other side of the sea. Maybe there is only a dead end waiting for us!"

That day, Su Dingfang was frightened.

He didn't expect Li Chengdao to cross the sea, nor did he expect that Li Chengdao's eyes were filled with burning hatred.

He understands His Highness!
This is His Highness's revenge on the King of Qin, but how is that possible? His Highness's opponent is the King of Qin, the arrogant King of Qin!

When facing the siege of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, only a few thousand people defeated the two men's army of 100,000, and left behind a horrifying feat of capturing two kings in one battle.

King Qin, he is too strong, really too strong~
Although His Royal Highness Crown Prince Li Jiancheng is also very powerful, the strength of the King of Qin is beyond measure and cannot be compared with any outstanding person of the time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the support of Emperor Retired Emperor Li Yuan and was the legitimate emperor, but he was defeated by the King of Qin.

How could His Highness Li Chengdao, a child, take revenge on such a terrifying enemy?
"Your Highness, do you...want to take revenge on the King of Qin?"

That day, he asked the child this question.

The child did not answer, but his tearful face filled with hatred stared silently and seriously at him and the remnants of the Eastern Palace behind him.

"Going to the Western Regions, this king has no chance."

"The people there know how terrible the Han people are. If I go there and reveal the reputation of the son of Jiancheng, they will surely attack me in unison."

"And if I don't reveal it, I won't be able to gather troops in the name of Li Tang! I can only survive for the rest of my life!"

"I am the Crown Prince of Li Tang. If I cannot use the reputation of Li Tang to gather troops, then... I am unworthy of being a descendant of the imperial family, Li Tang!"

"Only on the other side of the sea, no one knows me, and no one knows Li Tang! I will gather troops there, make a name for myself, and fight my way back to the Tang Dynasty!"

"This Tang Dynasty does not belong to Li Shimin! It does not belong to him in terms of principles and laws! It does not belong to him in terms of inheritance! It should belong to the lineage of my father, Emperor Li Jiancheng, and it should also belong to this king's Tang Dynasty!"

"You all, I will not force you. Whoever wants to follow me through the sunset, then come! I am now out of power, and people may say little, but I promise that my followers... I will protect you all your lives!"

"This is a promise from the Imperial Li family!"

That day, the child rode his horse alone to the west without hesitation.

under the setting sun,
His figure looked small and frail.

But Su Dingfang just stood there in a daze, looking at the child, gazing at the child. He seemed to...see another dragon of Li Tang awakening!

Su Dingfang followed Li Chengdao without hesitation.

Even if Li Chengdao had not made those remarks, he would have chosen to follow.

No one cared about him back then. It was Li Chengdao who gave him his first steamed bun and made his first promise, which enabled him to have his current status.

He had also silently decided in his heart that he would follow that child for the rest of his life, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

Su Dingfang followed.

Following the child, he chose to step into the unknown sea and the West. Behind him, the group of defeated soldiers from the Eastern Palace also followed.

No one left!

yes….
yes! ! !
They are defeated generals and defeated soldiers.

But they were once soldiers under Li Jiancheng, the most legitimate successor to the Tang Empire, and were his team.

Only the most loyal and powerful soldiers are worthy of serving as the prince's team.

They also have their own pride, persistence and beliefs.

Li Jiancheng died, but his children did not die.

They wanted to follow Li Chengdao and follow this child, even if it meant death, they would die together.

They had been cowardly once, although it was Li Jiancheng's arrangement, it was still a cowardly moment. They fled during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and they didn't want to flee a second time.

In this way, a group of people followed Li Chengdao, left the Tang Dynasty and arrived in the West.

When Su Dingfang and others first set foot on this western land, it was like a dream.

They didn't expect to succeed, nor did they expect that what the child said was true. There are continents and other countries here, and there are even some ethnic groups with skin colors that are completely different from theirs.

What happened later was even more like a dream.

They followed the child, led step by step by the child.

Punish the Western countries, establish a foothold, gather strength, and recruit troops….
The Great Flame was established and grew stronger day by day.

As Dayan grew stronger, Su Dingfang and the remnant soldiers of the Eastern Palace gradually realized that what the boy said back then was true, and that he really wanted to lead them and return to the Tang Dynasty!
Go take back everything that originally belonged to the East Palace!!

But Su Dingfang was afraid. He was afraid that the prince had changed over the years.

After all, some people change a lot after not seeing each other for a year, and His Highness is becoming the emperor of the West. Will the great power... make him forget the hatred of the past?

So he asked Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao's answer is still fresh in his memory.

"Forgot the hatred? General Su, do you know the Tang Dynasty in my eyes?"

That day, the child asked him back.

Su Dingfang shook his head.

Then he saw Li Chengdao looking towards the east through the window, with deep attachment in his eyes.

"General Su, do you know how beautiful the Tang Dynasty is in my eyes?"

"A copy of Chang'an Menghualu and a picture of the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty. I still remember them vividly."

"The Tang Dynasty is beautiful, and my home is beautiful too. I will always remember it, but all of this... was destroyed by General Tiance!"

"How can this mere barbarian land of the West be compared with the Great Tang in my memory? How can I forget the blood feud of my family? How dare I forget it?"

"If I forget this great hatred, how can I face my father in the underworld after I turn into a pile of yellow earth in a hundred years? How can I face my brothers and sisters? How can I face the ancestors of the Li family?"

"General Tiance is such a man who killed his brother and imprisoned his father. I, the king, must eliminate this scourge for the entire Imperial Li family!"

That day, Su Dingfang saw it.

Li Chengdao, who hadn't been angry for many years, was now furious.

He glared towards the east, and Su Dingfang felt that he was glaring at Li Shimin of the past.
