Name: Great Tang: From the Start, I Attack Chang'an and Abduct the Empress
Author: Little Farmer of the Hills

Synopsis

[Tang dynasty + alternate history + villain protagonist + empress + princesses + no System + silly fun + multiple heroines]

[Before reading: The protagonist was Han Chinese before he transmigrated, and he is Han Chinese now. His values are perfectly normal!]

Liang Hua had just graduated from university when he skipped forty years of detours and went straight to a job as a librarian at the Yanjing City Library.

After dying in a great fire, he was reborn as Jieli, the Turkic khagan, on the eve of the Weishui River Alliance.

Knowing history, he had his army cross the Weishui ahead of schedule and launch an attack, capturing Li Shimin on the spot.

Though he desperately wanted to take Chang’an, ascend the throne, and command the fate of the realm, the circumstances simply did not allow it.

In the end, he had no choice but to sign an unequal treaty with the Li Tang dynasty, then return to the grasslands with a huge payment in war reparations, the hostage Empress Zhangsun, and the future crown prince Li Chengqian.

Immediately afterward, he turned around and established the unified Great Xia Empire!

(For details, please read the story!)

(A friendly warning: This is an alternate-history novel, so it differs from the historical record. The plot can be a little silly, and the writing is unpolished. Consider yourself warned.)
