The Call of Cangwu: A Southern Frontier Peace in an Alternate Three Kingdoms Era

In the thirteenth year of the Chengguang era, eight tribes in the southern frontier of Great Shu rose in revolt, and the salt routes were cut off. Shen Yan, a low-ranking eighth-grade official demoted for submitting a memorial, headed south with three hundred elderly and infirm soldiers and a supply train. He should have become a disposable pawn on the board of powerful court officials. Instead, with the clumsy strategy of "never firing the first arrow," he uncovered the truth step by step: the southern tribes did not want to rebel. Someone had written the treasonous declaration for them. And the rebellion he had to quell was never the eight tribes in the mountains, but the Secretariat in Jinyuan City, where the lights still burned.
