"But we don't even know our benefactor's name."
"Let's hurry up and get going. If we run into those rattan armor soldiers again, we'll all be killed on the road."
…
King Tengjia was originally a high-ranking official appointed by the Tang Dynasty in Bashu. He was a hereditary official in his family and was responsible for guarding the land of Bashu on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. In essence, he was similar to a local emperor.
However, Bashu is mountainous and the roads are rugged, which is not as attractive as the fertile and vast land of the Central Plains. Therefore, on the surface, the family of King Tengjia has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but secretly they have always had the intention of rebellion and have been preparing for this for several generations.
He had originally planned to wait a few more years, until the Tang Dynasty gradually declined under the control of the Ten Eunuchs, and then King Tengjia would rebel again.
Unexpectedly, this matter was suddenly leaked to the world for some unknown reason. King Tengjia had no choice but to rebel in advance and proclaim himself king in Bashu.
There were more than one rebel in the west, but King Tengjia had the advantage of having prepared for many years and was very thorough. So, just like the Three Huangs annexed the three people of Liu, Cao and Wu in the south of the Yangtze River, he spent several months annexing Bashu, completing the unification and becoming the King of Bashu.

Twenty vanguard armies led the way in front, and the King of Rattan Armor personally led 300,000 Rattan Armor troops to advance from the rear. They were mighty and imposing along the way. No army sent by the Tang Dynasty could be the opponent of this Rattan Armor Army.
If we continue at this pace, King Tengjia will arrive at the city of Chang'an within a month.
"Hahaha, thanks to the help of Master Yuan Tongzi, our army has had such a smooth journey. It seems that I will be able to enter Chang'an and ascend the throne in no time." In the tent of the Tengjia Army, Wadang sat in front of Yuan Tongzi and said respectfully.
"Don't be too happy, be careful that happiness may turn into sorrow." Yuan Tongzi said while meditating.
