Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The two Wanyan brothers chatted for a while longer before Wanyan Wuqimai took his leave.

Wanyan Aguda returned to his study. He hadn't thought much of it at first, but after Wu Qimai's words today, he suddenly became a little worried about Zeng Sheng's trip.

Aguda basically agreed with Wu Qimai's assessment. This so-called Yi Kingdom was capable of conquering the Liao people's capital, Tokyo, so it must have had the strength.

Furthermore, since this group of people appeared out of nowhere and their backgrounds were unknown, Wanyan Aguda saw some traces of the Jurchen people in them.

This new and vibrant nation is far more threatening than the dying Liao Dynasty!

"Someone is coming."

Aguda gave the order.

"emperor."

A trusted eunuch entered to receive orders.

“Send three thousand elite cavalrymen along the route the prince consort took on his mission to the Yi Kingdom. Stop at the border and if anyone from the Yi Kingdom comes to ask, tell them they are here to pick up the prince consort.”

"Your Majesty, who should we send?"

Wanyan Aguda thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Let Lao Jiu go, he'll be fine."

"Then this servant will go and inform the Ninth Prince immediately."

The trusted eunuch received the order and prepared to inform Wanyan Zha.

"Wait a minute, and have Lao Wu come over here too. I have something to ask him."

Wanyan Aguda wanted to hear Wanyan Xieye's opinion, since among his brothers, the fifth brother was the wise strategist.

"According to the order."

The trusted eunuch immediately went to inform the two princes, while Wanyan Aguda remained alone, studying the map and silently contemplating something…

At the residence of Wanyan Zha Zhe.

"Ninth Prince, His Majesty has ordered you to muster troops to escort the Prince Consort."

"To meet the prince consort?"

Wanyan Zhezhe was practicing martial arts in his own residence. To be honest, the Jin Dynasty's current fighting strength is largely due to the self-discipline of these princes.

If the princes are fighting so hard, how can the soldiers not fight hard too?

"Didn't the prince consort go to that Yi Kingdom on a diplomatic mission? What are they going to meet?"

"Ninth Prince, the Imperial Son-in-Law has not contacted the court for some days. The Emperor suspects something is amiss and hopes that you will take three thousand elite cavalry to the border to give that Yi Kingdom a warning."

The eunuch said this.

"Understood. When do we depart?"

Wanyan Zhezhe was absolutely obedient to his elder brother's orders, so he didn't ask why and directly asked when they would set off.

"His Majesty didn't say, Your Highness, what do you think..."

The eunuch thought for a moment and then threw the question back at him; it was not something he could casually discuss.

Wanyan Zhe hesitated for a moment, then looked at the sun and turned to the eunuch, saying:

"It's getting late today. Here's what I'll do: go back and tell my brother that I'll take some men there first thing tomorrow morning."

"As ordered."

……

"Fifth brother, you're here? Have you eaten? If not, come and eat something with us!"

When Wanyan Xie arrived at the palace, it was already dark, and Wanyan Aguda was having a meal in a side hall.

"Not yet, Your Majesty. Is there something urgent?"

Wanyan Xie also missed dinner on his way here, mainly because the eunuch didn't explain what was going on. He thought about it for a long time on the way but couldn't figure it out.

"Sit down. Someone, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Aguda gestured for Wanyan Xie to sit down and eat with him.

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

Wanyan Xie also had a good relationship with Aguda, so he didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat.

"Eat more, eat more."

Wanyan Aguda watched his younger brother wolf down his food, while he sat to the side with a smile.

"Brother, what exactly happened?"

Wanyan Xie asked while shoveling food into his mouth.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask what your opinion is on our war with the Liao Kingdom?"

"The Liao Dynasty?"

Wanyan Xie did not stop eating.

"The Liao Kingdom is perfectly fine, just a candle flickering in the wind. Although Wuyan Guang is fierce, we've fought his so-called grand formation so many times, we've gained a lot of experience from it!"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will surely lead the troops to break through the formation in a few days!"

"Okay! Be ambitious!"

Wanyan Aguda clapped his hands happily and personally put a big chicken leg on Wanyan Xieye's plate.

"Here! Eat a chicken leg!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wanyan Xie happily ate the chicken leg given to him by his elder brother.

"So what do you think of that Yiguo?"

Wanyan Xie was gnawing on a chicken leg when he suddenly heard the question. He paused, then put down the chicken leg and bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked seriously:

"Brother, are you referring to the Yi Kingdom, which conquered the Liao capital of Tokyo?"

Is there another Yiguo in this world?

Wanyan Aguda laughed.

"If I tell the truth, will Your Majesty forgive me?"

Wanyan Xie thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Of course you are innocent! You are my own brother and my right-hand man, how could I possibly punish you?"

Wanyan Aguda was somewhat puzzled.

"Alright, Your Majesty, then I will speak the truth. I believe that Yi Kingdom will definitely become a major threat to us in the future."

Wanyan Xie also said it with great certainty.

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

Wanyan Aguda wanted to hear the reason.

"Your Majesty currently claims they are Song people, but the Song people have always been treated like dogs by the Liao Kingdom. A bunch of dogs, yet they conquered the Liao Kingdom's capital, Bianjing, and occupied the Bohai Kingdom without the Zhao Song court's knowledge!"

"What does this mean? Either the leader of this group is a living god, capable of turning the rotten into the miraculous, leading a bunch of cowards to achieve this result."

"Or, this group of people is the most elite among the Song people, the elite of the elite."

"Brother, no matter what the outcome, it will be detrimental to our Great Jin."

"Your fourth brother said the same thing before."

After Wanyan Agu inquired about Wanyan Xieye's words, he said that Wu Qimai had also said the same thing.

"Although Fourth Brother is sometimes a bit reckless, his military intuition is accurate, and I agree with his ideas."

"Fifth brother, what do you think we should do in the face of this Yi Kingdom?"

Wanyan Aguda continued to ask.

"Didn't the Prince Consort go to scout ahead this time? I think we should wait for him to return, gather intelligence, and then make a decision. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."

Regarding this issue, Wanyan Xieye currently hopes to obtain sufficient intelligence first.

"I'm afraid he won't be coming back."

But what shocked Wanyan Xie was that Wanyan Aguda actually said those words in a very calm tone.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"After the prince consort left, he has not contacted the court for many days. Given his character, he would never dare to do such a thing. Therefore, I believe he is in grave danger."

Wanyan Aguda had his own judgment.

"I sent the Ninth Prince with three thousand cavalry to the border to put pressure on them. If the Yi Kingdom did not kill the Prince Consort but only imprisoned him, then they should make some kind of response."

“If the prince consort has been killed, then the Ninth Prince and his men will definitely face the well-prepared soldiers of the Yi Kingdom. I will let the Ninth Prince act as he sees fit. With his abilities, even if he can't win, he can definitely escape. We just need to find out what the Yi Kingdom is up to.”

"Your Majesty's insight is brilliant."

Wanyan Xie also said, "I'm very happy that you think this way, Your Majesty."

"But Your Majesty, there's a problem. What if the Yi Kingdom really kills the Imperial Son-in-Law and declares war on us?"

"Declare war? Then let's fight!"

Wanyan Aguda exudes domineering aura!

"We have the protection of Changbai Mountain! What are we afraid of? At worst, we can fight on two fronts!"
