After guarding the border for five years, all he gets is an imperial decree ordering his death? Then this prince is done being a vassal!
Li Daozong, the ninth prince of Great Qian, was banished to bitterly cold Liangzhou for five years, while the court cut off his food and weapons. The officials across the land all think he has only a few tens of thousands of battered, defeated soldiers left. The old emperor even sends him a cup of poisoned wine, with an edict abolishing his fief and sentencing him to death!
What they don't know is that Li Daozong bound himself to the Imperial Sign-In System long ago! After five years of patience, he's already turned Liangzhou into an impregnable fortress!
As the imperial eunuch arrives with the poisoned wine, swaggering with arrogance
“Your Highness, it's time to go!”
In the next moment, the fierce general Xue Rengui pins the eunuch to the wall with a single thrust of his halberd! Cheng Yaojin smashes the desk bearing the imperial decree to pieces with one swing of his axe!
Li Daozong forces the poisoned wine down the eunuch's throat, then draws his sword and laughs wildly. “Since Father Emperor says I'm rebelling, then today I'll rebel for all the world to see!”
The city gates fly open, and a million armored cavalry troops surge forth like dark clouds blotting out the sky! The God of War Li Jing commands the three armies, while famous Tang officials like Fang Xuanling and Yuan Tiangang make their dazzling entrance!
When the proclamation calling for war against Great Qian reaches the capital, the entire court is scared witless. “Didn't they say there were only a few tens of thousands of old and infirm soldiers in the northwest?! Where did this million-strong cavalry of godlike demons come from?!”
The old emperor collapses limply onto his dragon throne, consumed by regret!
With a million armored troops at his command, you still issued an edict to abolish his fief?!
Li Daozong points his sword toward the capital. “Great Qian is rotten to the core! Starting today, I will trample this old realm into the dust and rebuild a Great Tang that commands the homage of every nation!”
