Chapter 214: Allegiance
In a countryside manor located in Shazhou…
“Father!”
A young man excitedly rushed into the manor, only to sense something amiss with the atmosphere. Another man was with his father in the guest hall, and soldiers were stationed along the corridor.
“Big brother, you’re back! Let me tell you… Ah?!”
The excited young man was about to share the news he had just heard when he noticed that his big brother was still wearing Tibetan clothes. His cheeks twitched.
“Big brother, why are you still dressed like that?!” the young man exclaimed. “Don’t you know the Tangs are making a comeback! The Gatling Buddha has already conquered Tingzhou with the Anxi predecessors!”
He patted his clothes and continued, “See, I have already switched my clothes back!”
Shu Yichao had been focusing on Transoxania and the Iron Gate Pass, but he spawned new troops even from the slaughtering of livestock, which resulted in him constantly having spare troops on hand.
Not one to waste troops, he had been dispatching them to conduct small-scale attacks to the east.
