After Tianzhu massacred the Tang embassy, Deputy Envoy Wang Xuance escaped alive. Having endured countless hardships, he borrowed cavalry from Tubo and Nepal and captured the city of Kanyakubja in three battles. On his way back, he erected a great boundary stele for the Tang beside the Ganges: everything south of the river belonged to Tianzhu, and everything north to the Tang. This story is recorded in history, but its specific details are unknown. This book is purely a work of historical imagination, so please don't assume it reflects actual events.
