Late Tang: From Shuo Fang Commandant to Prince of Another Surname

In the second year of Zhenyuan, a hundred thousand Tubo troops attacked the pass, and there were beacon smoke all over Longyou. Shen Mu, a son of Shuofang's old army, led 800 remnant soldiers to defend Dazhen Pass for three days. No reinforcements arrived, and Zhechong Mansion was almost completely wiped out. Only then did he understand - in this rotten late Tang Dynasty, the fate of generals was either to die on the battlefield or to die due to the suspicion of their own people. Guo Ziyi was promoted openly and secretly, Li Guangbi died in sorrow and anger, Pugu Huai'en was forced to rebel, and Li Huaiguang's head was missing. Since you can't be a loyal minister, why don't you become a hero who supports his troops and respects himself? No. Shen Mu wants to take the third path. During the Pingliang Tribulation Alliance, he led 500 light cavalry into the 30,000 Tubo formation and rescued Hun Yao; At the mouth of Danzheng Gorge, he used ten thousand to defeat Tubo's 150,000, and became a god in one battle; Operating in Lingzhou, he opened salt ponds, cultivated fields, and opened trade roads, and Shuofang became the last pure land in the late Tang Dynasty; River Shuo is criss-crossing, and he walks a tightrope between Weibo, Chengde, and Huaixi, taking advantage of all three sides; Yongzhen suffered a sudden change, and he saved himself from the fighting between eunuchs and civil servants; When Yuanhe reduced the vassalage, he assisted Xianzong, entered Caizhou on a snowy night, pacified Ziqing, and achieved "Yuanhe Zhongxing". When he achieved great feats, was crowned king with a different surname, and held a hundred thousand Shuofang cavalry, everyone in the world was asking the same question—— Is Shen Mu the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, or the second An Lushan? Shen Mu stood on the Lingzhou City Tower, looking at the wind and snow in the sky, and only said one sentence: "My loyalty is not to the Li family, but to the people of this land."
