Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother, Zhongjing has fallen, and now with Tong Guan as our help, we can head south."

Ma Ling said that the opportunity to play against Nanjing is now excellent!

"Alright, go back and tell Tong Guan that our army will arrive soon. I'll give him the credit for taking back Yanyun, and he'll be remembered in history. That's no problem."

Ren Yuan knew what Tong Guan wanted, and he admired him for daring to confront Zhao Ji head-on!

In his previous life in official history, Tong Guan was at most someone who dared to conceal imperial orders. However, in this life, perhaps after interacting with Ren Yuan, he gained some reckless traits, and he actually dared to directly confront Zhao Ji on the battlefield!

Especially now, with Zhao Ji absent halfway through, Tong Guan is single-handedly holding up the entire northern inspection team and confronting the Liao Kingdom head-on, which has greatly changed Ren Yuan's impression of him!

"Is brother going himself?"

Ma Ling is now also somewhat worried about Ren Yuan's personal command of the expedition.

"How could I possibly miss the chance to recapture Yan and Yun?"

Ren Yuan smiled.

"Don't worry, those four guys in Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom are nothing to me."

Ren Yuan knew very well that the battle in the original novel that made Lu Junyi a god was fought against these four boys.

Ren Yuan is now a top-tier expert, just like Lu Junyi. Even if he is slightly inferior and cannot achieve the same feat as Lu Junyi, who managed to kill one of the four opponents in a fight, he can at least fight them to a draw.

With so many powerful generals around him, what was there to be afraid of?

"Brother, it's always better to be careful. Your brothers still want to conquer the world with you."

Ma Ling knew, of course, that her brother's fighting prowess was already terrifying, but just in case, sometimes she had to speak up.

"Come on, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. After the capital is established, I'm afraid you'll be even less likely to let me have the idea of ​​personally leading the army, right? Come here, let's talk this out."

Ren Yuan laughed and scolded. The days when he could fight freely were indeed becoming fewer and fewer. In the future, more opportunities would be given to his brothers, and he would be responsible for guarding the capital.

Therefore, reclaiming Yanyun should be one of Ren Yuan's last few opportunities to personally lead an expedition.

"Brother, you can't blame me for this. It was all the strategists' idea. I'll go and inform Tong Guan first."

Ma Ling knew his brother was joking with him, but he didn't want to be punished, so he immediately took off running. This light-footed skill was great; it made everything convenient.

A moment later, Xiao Jiahui also arrived.

"Brother, Brother Ma Ling said, are we going south?"

Xiao Jiahui's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Yes, Old Tong has surrendered, and he still has 100,000 troops. This is an excellent opportunity."

Ren Yuan said, "Now is the perfect time!"

"Okay, okay! So who do you want to come with us this time?"

"You, I, and half of the Heavenly Cavalry, Hua Rong's Divine Arrow Army, Qin Ming's Thunderbolt Army, Master Lu's Vajra Army, plus Luan Tingyu's troops and Tie Ta's Victory Army, along with Tong Guan's men, will be enough."

Since Zhongjing had just been captured, they had to be wary of a counterattack from the Liao people. Therefore, Ren Yuan left Lin Chong behind to guard the city. Also, since Tong Guan already had more than 100,000 troops, Ren Yuan led a detachment out this time.

It is worth mentioning that Hua Rong's Fifth Army, like Shi Jin's Third Army, also obtained its own banner by accumulating merits in capturing Zhongjing.

The army of Hua Rong, the greatest archer in the world, is called Divine Arrows.

"Not playing with Mi Sheng and Shi Qi?"

Xiao Jiahui whistled, her expression extremely irritating.

"What, you want both of them to keep you company? Then I can add them to the list."

"Never mind then, I was just being cheeky."

Xiao Jiahui pretended to slap herself, then turned and walked outside.

"Why are you going?"

"Brother, we're about to set off. We need to do some preliminary preparations, right? I'll go and make some arrangements. You can have fun on your own."

"Oh, and remember to tell Guan Zhong and Zhu Wu that they can move at any time!"

"Don't worry! They can manage without me saying a word!"

……

In the summer of 1115 AD, Cai Jing's Da Lai Kingdom overthrew the rule of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji was forced to flee to the Western Army. With the support of the Zhong and Zhe families of the Western Army, he regrouped and established a new court based on Yongxingjun Road, Qinfeng Road, Lizhou Road, parts of Hedong Road, and parts of Jingxi South Road. He still used Song as the name of the country, and it was known as the Western Song Dynasty.

Meanwhile, after Fang La established the Ming Dynasty in the south, he launched an attack on Jiangnan East Road! The Duan family of Dali in Yunnan also took advantage of the chaos and attacked Guangnan West Road! Several strongmen in Jinghu South Road and Guangnan East Road also took the opportunity to cause trouble!

The original four hundred military prefectures and counties of the Great Song Dynasty are now almost all in a state of turmoil, with bandits from all directions gathering like ants, all wanting a share of the spoils! Zhao Ji and Cai Jing are even fighting desperately for the remaining territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

There is only one exception: Jingdong East Road.

The reason is simple: Liangshan's main base is here, and in recent years, Liangshan's influence in Shandong has grown stronger and stronger, so the various prefectures and counties of Jingdong East Road dare not provoke them.

Even Murong Yanda, who is very fond of achieving great things, has been staying in Qingzhou City for the past year and hasn't come out.

Murong Yanda wasn't stupid. After suffering a few losses, he understood that if he provoked Liangshan, his good days would be over in no time. If he didn't provoke Liangshan, he could continue to be the prefect of Qingzhou and continue to live his carefree life.

As for Cai Jing, after establishing his state, he did not cause trouble in the Eastern Circuit of Jingdong. Mainly, he was busy taking over the territories of other areas of the Zhao Song Dynasty and engaging in all-round struggles with the Western Army. He was simply unwilling to take on the tough nut of the Eastern Circuit of Jingdong at this critical juncture.

Moreover... Liangshan gave him the Imperial Seal of the State, whether it was real or fake, it was at least a favor. In addition, with Liangshan in charge, those people in the eastern part of Jingdong didn't dare to move and didn't take the initiative to come to the emperor's aid, so Cai Jing wouldn't needlessly add another opponent to his list at this time.

Liangshan.

"Strategist, the situation in the prefectures and counties of Jingdong East Road has been basically investigated, and there are no surprises."

Because both of the two main generals of the Tianmu Army went to the northern battlefield, the Tianmu Army on Liangshan was mainly under Yan Qing's responsibility. After Cai Jing rebelled, Yan Qing, under Zhu Wu's command, urgently investigated the entire Jingdong East Road and confirmed that Cai Jing's henchmen had not extended their reach to Jingdong East Road.

"Very good, news has come from my brother's side. Zhongjing has been captured. The next step is to take back Yanyun. It's time for us to head north and join up with my brother!"

Zhu Wu looked at the map and focused his attention on Hebei East Road. This was the northernmost point of the former Song Kingdom, bordering Yan and Yun. If Liangshan could take over both Jingdong East Road and Hebei East Road, they could merge with the territory that Ren Yuan had conquered in the north!

"Strategist, the Eastern Capital Route is definitely ours, but Cai Jing just took control of the Eastern Hebei Route. Do you think he'll give it to us?"

"If he won't let us, we'll fight!"

Zhu Wu exuded domineering aura at this moment. Although he was usually low-key among the Liangshan strategists, as the first strategist invited by Ren Yuan, Zhu Wu's words carried considerable weight! Moreover, stimulated by his colleagues, Zhu Wu in this life became even stronger!

"Yan Qing, inform Boss Du and the others that we, Liangshan—oh no, we Dayi—are taking over Jingdong East Road!"

"Hebei East Road is ours too!"
