Forging a Glorious Tang Dynasty with the Blood of the Barbarians

Seeing Lingnan makes me think of Annam and India. Even if I can't rule them, plundering their resources would be good. Of course, I know the roads are difficult. If all else fails, I'll take the sea route and develop slowly. Or, I could create a protagonist who can make his son his clone, while the others are renamed and numbered in the hundreds or thousands. That way, I could rule indefinitely. In the end, if the protagonist gets tired of it, he can even unlock a multiverse mode.

The opening was poorly written; it was neither engaging nor did it clearly introduce the main character.

The author's writing is quite good, although so far I feel the plot is rather bland. Because the early chapters didn't establish enough exciting moments, reader interest and engagement have naturally decreased. I think the author's narrative style is quite good.

Why do I feel like I've seen this main storyline somewhere before? Is it just my imagination?

It must be said, this is a truly exceptional book. Unlike other historical works that excessively pursue details of stories from different social classes, resulting in lengthy essays that become half-hearted when presented with actual artifacts, or certain types of books that excessively glorify grand historical narratives, this book strikes a perfect balance between macro and micro perspectives.

I remember Gao Lishi was a descendant of Feng Ang, maybe even his grandson.

Keep it up, author!

It's alright; at least the novels set in the Tang Dynasty aren't about royalty anymore.
