After the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, Yang Guozhong still had ten thousand soldiers at his disposal.
Officially, they were there to defend Chang'an. In reality, they were meant to keep an eye on his own allies guarding Tong Pass.
In his previous life, the more he feared Geshu Han, the more determined he was to keep those troops under his control. In the end, Tong Pass fell, Chang'an descended into chaos, and he died on the road while fleeing.
When he opened his eyes again, those ten thousand soldiers were still there.
This time, Yang Guozhong decided to hand over the troops he had been relying on to save his own life.
But once the first piece of history changed, there were no ready-made answers for what came next.
