This list is simply a collection of stories I like. They do not even have to be complete, as long as they have something that shines. Though I have grown older in years without gaining much wisdom, I have made peace with myself. Because those who are alive still have to keep moving forward. Sometimes I think about the outlines of stories I would like to write, but my prose is poor and I have no time to write them. It is a great regret.

I have been writing for so long. The people in the late Tang Dynasty were so miserable that they finally escaped to live in the mountains. In the latest chapter, an army was organized to capture the dead. I asked the author what he wanted to do. There was also burning, killing and looting in the past. You have written a book like this. I am lucky that I subscribe to it every day. I also read Zhengwei and Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms before. Do you have a problem with your values?
No, it's very frustrating to watch. Reading novels makes people feel depressed and means death. What we want to see is victory, promotion and wealth, beauty, and expansion of troops.
I can't say this book is not good, but it seems frustrating that I didn't get it when I was supposed to be in charge. I made more than 200 photos of this analysis and judgment, and finally I mutinied and became the leader. I was threatened by the tooth soldiers in my hometown, and I didn't read what I wrote before. What's the basis? You took off your fucking pants and farted. It's a waste of time. I'm a pig, a thieves, and I became a governor before you. The book is good. Please don't analyze it later. In the end, you still look like that. Kill decisively. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the smell of blood was in the fucking air. What kind of strategy is there? There is a knife that can be used. If you just mess around in your hometown, it is worse than being a pig now. I don't know what to mess around with.
Hey, looking at Zhu Wen's group of people now calling him brothers, I feel very emotional.
It is true that they drink from a golden cup together and show no mercy. Emperors who were born in poverty treat their younger brothers like rabbits and dogs. Liu Yu abandoned him after he had finished using it. Zhu Yuanzhang also conquered the world before punishing the heroes. Zhu Wen was on the better side. He had to kill them all as soon as he made some achievements. Zhu Zhen, Ding Hui, Shi Shucong, Wang Zhongshi, Li Yanwei, and Pang Shigu, who was afraid of Zhu Wen's suspicion and had to obey Zhu Wen's control in everything. Zhu Wen was drowned in the end. There are really too many to count.
There is one bad thing about the book written by this person. The post-production process ends too quickly, the opponent's writing is too simple, and there is no desire to read it. He writes indiscriminately. The story about leading troops against each other was written briefly and ended in a flash. I thought it would be a big move, but to my surprise, the author simply killed the enemy. No difficulty is left to the protagonist, and the black hole left is left to be filled by oneself.
This book has many advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about the advantages first: it truly describes the troubled times in the late Tang Dynasty, when warriors took over the country, social order collapsed, and people struggled to survive. The uprisings of Wang Xianzhi and Zhu Wen were the result of natural and man-made disasters. The rule of the Tang Dynasty was facing collapse. Officials' manipulation of power and separatism of feudal towns were the main reasons for the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Let's talk about the shortcomings: The author excessively attributes the power struggle to the struggle between Qingliu and officials, which is fundamentally wrong. The so-called Qing Dynasty began in the Song and Ming Dynasties. Most of the civil servants in the Sui and Tang Dynasties came from the gentry clan. What is the gentry clan? There was no clear boundary between civil and military affairs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. There was no clear boundary between civil and military affairs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It would be inconsistent to apply the bureaucratic ecology of the Ming Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty. What's more, it was inappropriate to talk about conspiracy theories about civil servants in the late Tang Dynasty. This was an era when martial men ruled the country. Civil servants could only work for martial men, and the gentry tended to decline. Secondly, the autocratic power of officials played a role in promoting the demise of the Tang Dynasty and was the main driver of the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. The author portrays the officials as heroes who saved the Tang Dynasty, which is very unfriendly to readers with historical knowledge. In short, the conspiracy theory of civil servants and the theory of national salvation by eunuchs are not suitable for the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. They are the favorites of Ming fans. If used in the Ming Dynasty, they will be favored by Ming fans, but they will also lose more rational readers. Each flower enters each eye.
Don't write the protagonist in such a hypocritical way. A usurper should look like a usurper. It is always said that the protagonist is constantly putting up with the emperor. Don't push me, I will treat you well. In the following chapters, the emperor keeps pressing, and the protagonist keeps giving in. In fact, it is a trap in a jar. In the end, while wiping away tears, he put on a dragon robe and ascended the throne. He muttered, "I don't want to, why are you forcing me? I want to be a good person and plead for the people. It's hypocritical."
Why don't you say anything when you open a new book? Are you looking down on all the brothers?😡
Why do you still torture the master when writing about the late Tang Dynasty?
The late Tang Dynasty was an era when a school captain could be a military envoy and a bandit could be a governor. The protagonist's family has been serving as generals for generations, and he is almost like Wang Jian, who was born as a prisoner, joined the army in his thirties, and has been a soldier for no more than five or six years; such a big split in the Zhongwu Army is like a bystander, and the climax is an unbearable emotional scene with a very thin portrayal of the female lead. While other people ascended to heaven, the protagonist had a quiet time and did not reap any benefits. That is to say, it is a novel, otherwise he would be hacked to death by the officers under his command in a matter of minutes. However, this is also a common problem in historical literature. He is clearly qualified and capable of changing history, but because the author is too lazy to think about it/dares not to deduce it himself/copying the original historical facts is too satisfying/it is too troublesome to check the information, etc., The protagonist is written as a bystander, and this is also the key to distinguish whether a historical text is excellent or not. I hope the author will continue to work hard.
The first poisonous point in this book
Shatuo cavalry, what kind of big bow can shoot 200 steps on horseback? The writing was pretty good at the beginning, but it's still the same as the previous book as you go on?
