Name: I Only Want to Protect the Great Tang for Centuries
Author: Looking at the Missing Moon

Synopsis

Awakening in the morning light of the tenth year of the Zhenguan era, Jiang Yifeng found himself burdened with a mistake in the timeline. He watched the banners change over the palaces of Chang'an, bid farewell to one great ruler after another across the long ages, and watched empires rise and fall like the tides. Immortality was not his wish. Returning to his original timeline became the one obsession that sustained him through endless years.

While the Tang Empire's attention was tied up by the Khitans, its western frontier fell into crisis. Tibetan cavalry bore down like mountains, the Four Garrisons of Anxi teetered on the brink, and Shule City, the vital choke point of the Silk Road, was about to become an isolated outpost cut off from the world.

This time, Jiang Yifeng would be more than a mere spectator to history.

He journeyed thousands of miles to the Western Regions as the leader of a merchant caravan. Drawing on centuries of accumulated experience and knowledge far ahead of his time, he maneuvered among the desperate Tang troops, the fierce Tibetan elite, and the wavering tribes of the Western Regions. He brought scattered forces together and fought raids with raids, wielding era-defying “thunder” and cunning tactics to become a poisoned thorn driven deep into the lifeline of Tibet's supply routes.

He was not merely riding to the aid of an isolated city. For the distant dream of returning home, at this critical turning point in history, he wagered everything he had and challenged the currents of his age. The blood and fire beneath Shule City would determine not only the last glory of the Tang in the Western Regions, but whether a lonely wanderer could break free of his eternal prison and find his way home.

Tang Dynasty Novels Are So Awful, All the Same Stories About Early Tang and Zhenguan

The only book I can think of is "Tang Plotting the World", which is set in Emperor Gaozong’s era. There isn’t another one after that. After all, if the story goes a little further forward in time, Li Bai, Du Fu, Du Mu, Bai Juyi, and Li Shangyin are all born, and it gets harder to show off with poetry. Even this topic of mine has been derailed.
