I Was Late Tang's Top Warlord, Until a Merchant Broke My Leg

In the fifth year of Qianfu under Emperor Xizong of Tang, Huang Chao's rebellion erupts, the Shatuo raid, and the Great Tang teeters on the brink of collapse.

Pei Jin, a young man from the modern world, transmigrates into the only son of the military governor of Lulong.

He thinks he can become a warlord who rules his territory with an army at his command, but the world is absurd beyond belief. The court is corrupt, and merchants secretly collude with powerful officials to monopolize grain and iron, placing merchants above the soldiers who fight and bleed for the realm!

The moment Pei Jin opens his eyes, the servants of the richest merchant in the land surround him.

All because he got in the way of their caravan. The tycoon points a finger at him and threatens to break both his legs!

He even threatens to cut off grain supplies for Lulong's 100,000 frontier troops, forcing Pei Jin's father, a powerful governor, to kneel in the street and apologize!

According to the original course of events, Pei Jin is beaten and left with broken legs, becoming the laughingstock of the realm and bringing shame upon his military family.

But as he looks at the arrogant merchant and the gaunt frontier soldiers, Pei Jin lets out a cold laugh.

“How dare merchants bully a family of military governors?”

“You're threatening to cut off our grain? Too bad for you, the only thing I'm good at is swinging my blade!”

The next moment, Pei Jin draws his sword in the street and chops off the tycoon's head!

He immediately leads his troops to raid the merchant's estate, seizing a million dan of grain and expanding his armored cavalry on the spot!

You use gold and silver to buy the realm? I'll smash your vault with my long-handled saber!

If this world has turned its values upside down, then I'll use iron and blood to cut my way through the rotten late Tang!

Starting with the tycoon's execution, he'll pacify the Shatuo, crush Huang Chao, capture Chang'an, and wipe out the regional warlords!

The day Pei Jin dons the imperial robes, a million armored troops will storm the passes, and the entire court of nobles will tremble in fear.

Pei Jin draws his sword and looks around. “So, who makes the rules now?”
