His name was Zhang Xun, born into a military household in Bingzhou. In his previous life, he had been a graduate of a military engineering college.
With a few improvements to the design of the crossbow and some knowledge of infantry tactics, he survived the blood-soaked frontier of the Zhenguan era. Step by step, he rose to become the Protector General of Anxi, building cities, opening up farmland, and training troops in the Western Regions until he turned the Tang Empire's borders into an iron fortress.
Everyone thought this general, who had fought his way up from the bottom, would be the Tang Empire's next God of War.
Only he knew that the battle he most wanted to win was not on the frontier, but at court.
He wanted to use engineering principles to repair the fubing system, so veteran soldiers like his father would no longer lose their families simply because there was no land left to grant them. But once he reached the heart of power, he discovered that the empire's sickness had been rooted in its very bones from the start.
He could win every battle, but not this war against his age.
I have read a lot of books about the Tang Dynasty. This book is in one word, true. As a novel about the Zhenguan Dynasty, it describes the war in the early years. It also describes the current situation of the lower-level officials in detail. There is no blind praise of virtues, no pointers to the country. Start from the bottom, start from the fields. Color! Isn't the time a bit confusing? The Turks were defeated only in the third year of Zhenguan, and Jieli Khan was captured in the fourth year of Zhenguan. You don't rest at all. Why did you directly fight Tuyuhun again?
Please call me Shennong. The most speechless thing at the beginning is that I always write about crossbows repeatedly. It is too verbose. Yu Chigong appreciated that the writing is relatively stiff. The biggest problem is that it uses AI. But overall, it is more readable than ordinary novels. It is not too outrageous and poisonous.
Very beautiful, highly recommended.
At first glance, it is clear that the foundation is profound and fascinating. There are just too few chapters
No wonder he is called General Tang and is always fighting😅
It's true and objective, it's not time-traveled, it lacks some modern thinking, the male protagonist should be more domineering
It is unimaginable to live in troubled times, only by experiencing it personally can you feel the beauty of peace!
The writing is pretty good.
I read a section before and didn't read further. Now that I've read this chapter, it's pretty good. Please give it a thumbs up... 👍
The storyline is realistic, not exaggerated, and fascinating. It's very good.
