Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

(It's just about getting a flag and a medal, and then everything else is the same as before. It doesn't have as many political implications as you think. Just treat the medal like a gold, silver, or bronze medal. What's the big deal?)

"Alright, Yuan Lang can come back now."

Wen Huanzhang could understand Yuan Lang's actions, after all, he was the first in Liangshan to obtain the flag.

“Ou Peng, Ruan Xiaoqi.”

"exist!"

On the naval side, Ou Peng and Ruan Xiaoqi stepped forward together. Both of them had performed exceptionally well in this naval battle.

"Ruan Xiaoqi has worked diligently and conscientiously since the establishment of the Liangshan Navy, living up to everyone's expectations. In this naval battle, he assisted Ou Peng and personally sank more than 20 enemy ships, making great contributions to the victory. After discussion by the strategist and the chieftain, it has been decided that Ruan Xiaoqi will be promoted to commander of the third naval battalion. He shall begin to form the third naval battalion from today onwards, and fifty men may be selected from the first and second naval battalions as the core. At the same time, Ruan Xiaoqi is awarded a second-class Bright Moon Medal."

"Hahaha, I'm in command now too!"

Ruan Xiaoqi was overjoyed because his second brother, Ruan Xiaowu, was only a deputy commander. He never expected that he would surpass his brother and become the same as his eldest brother, Ruan Xiaoer!

"Big brother, I'm in the same rank as you now! And I even have a medal!"

Ruan Xiaoqi excitedly went to collect the medal, and then showed it off to Ruan Xiaoer.

"Xiao Qi, don't get carried away in the Hall of Righteousness."

Ruan Xiaoer said it was impossible not to be envious; indeed, it was best to beat one's younger brother early, otherwise it would be too difficult to beat him.

“Ou Peng”.

Wen Huanzhang ignored Ruan Xiaoqi. After all, it was the first time that military merits had been awarded. If these people were a little unruly, so be it. Just don't let it happen again.

"exist!"

Ou Peng also stepped forward. To be honest, Ou Peng contributed a lot today. The naval battle was entirely due to his battalion. If he hadn't scattered the troops from Jizhou and Yuncheng, it wouldn't have been so easy to defeat them later. So if we're talking about who deserves the most credit today, it should go to Ou Peng.

"Ou Peng, in today's battles across three locations, displayed great bravery, leading his Second Naval Battalion to break through the enemy lines and kill nearly three hundred enemies. He himself personally killed more than sixty enemies. He is the number one contributor to Liangshan's victory today. Therefore, the entire Second Naval Battalion is awarded a Second-Class Merit, Ou Peng is awarded a Second-Class Bright Moon Medal, and the Second Naval Battalion is awarded the name 'Kunpeng'!"

"In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun, which transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. Brother Ou Peng's nickname is Golden Wings that Soar Through the Clouds, which also matches his camp's name. In the future, we hope that the Kunpeng Camp can continue to make great achievements!"

Ou Peng was also very excited after receiving the flag and listening to Ren Yuan's words.

My brother understands me! Kunpeng! What a wonderful name! My own Moyun Golden Wings matches perfectly! They're both divine birds! (Moyun Golden Wings is the Golden-Winged Roc, which, although not the same bird as Kunpeng, belongs to the category of divine birds, so it's fair to say they match.)

"Shi Qian!"

Unexpectedly, the next person called was Shi Qian.

"Strategist, I'm here."

Shi Qian thought that he had nothing to do with it, since the battle was mostly fought by the combat battalions, and his scout battalion was only there to gather information.

"Since Shi Qian came up the mountain, he has organized the scout battalion in an orderly manner, and his intelligence gathering has been flawless. He has also made numerous contributions. Therefore, the entire scout battalion is awarded a second-class merit, and Shi Qian is awarded a first-class Great Sun Medal! The scout battalion is also awarded the name 'Sky Curtain'!"

Shi Qian was shocked. "Wait a minute, I... I have a First Class Medal?"

Like Yuan Lang's brother?

He couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Ren Yuan, as if to ask:

"Brother, you didn't give me the wrong one, did you?"

"Come up, Shi Qian. Your scout battalion has made invaluable contributions to Liangshan's development to this point. Scouts are Liangshan's eyes and ears. In the future, I hope your Sky Curtain Battalion can truly be like a sky curtain, covering the world and providing intelligence for Liangshan!"

"As for you, ask everyone if you deserve a first-class medal?"

"Yes, Brother Shiqian, you and my brother saved my life together!"

"Yes, and me!"

Sun An and Guang Hui were the first to offer their support, and indeed, Shi Qian saved them at that time.

"A scout is like eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind, brother, you're right! Brother Shiqian, you deserve the title!"

"Yes! Brother Shiqian, let's go up!"

All the military generals naturally knew how much a good scout could do for the army, and they were very clear about Shi Qian's contributions, so they all recognized Shi Qian's abilities.

Xu Ning, in particular, was a great benefactor of Shi Qian, who retrieved his family heirloom armor!

"See? Everyone says you're capable. Come on up."

Ren Yuan said to Shi Qian with a smile.

Looking at his brothers who genuinely congratulated him, and then at Ren Yuan's smiling figure on the stage, Shi Qian felt his eyes welling up with tears.

Before I met my brother, I, Shi Qian, was a thief with a mixed reputation.

It was only after meeting her brother that Shi Qian became who she is today!

"Go, you deserve it."

Bai Huang, who was standing beside him, noticed the glint in Shi Qian's eyes. Without making a sound, she gently touched Shi Qian's hand to encourage him.

Shi Qian turned his head, glanced at Bai Huang, and then smiled. He straightened his chest, strode forward, and took his reward from Ren Yuan's hands.

"Only under the sky can there be shadows. Shi Qian, your mission is very important. I have high hopes for you."

When Ren Yuan pinned the medal on Shi Qian, he whispered a word of encouragement to him. He knew that beneath Shi Qian's usual carefree and unrestrained exterior lay a heart that was very sensitive to his background.

Upon hearing Ren Yuan's words, Shi Qian secretly made a vow in his heart.

In this lifetime, even if it costs him his life, Shi Qian will send Ren Yuan to the place he wants to go!

The bestowal of titles and honors continued, though they were mostly medals and awards. Those whose names were called happily went up to collect their rewards, as it was a novel experience. For the Liangshan generals who were receiving such honors for the first time, curiosity and a strange sense of honor made them very happy.

But the camp flag never reappeared. Finally, Wen Huanzhang, still not seeing the man return, turned to Xu Ning and said:

"Xu Ning".

"what?"

Xu Ning was taken aback. Why was this involving me? My Second Battalion hadn't even been mobilized today!

Strategist, don't talk nonsense.

"Tang Bin and the others aren't here, so you can accept the award on his behalf."

Tang Bin and his men, along with the First Battalion of the Cavalry, are still in Yuncheng and haven't returned yet. Wen Huanzhang was just wondering if they could wait for Tang Bin and the others to come back, but now it seems unlikely.

"Tang Bin, Cui Ye, Wen Zhongrong."

All three officers of Ma Yiying were summoned, but none of them were present at the moment, so Xu Ning had to collect the items on their behalf. (Qin Ming wasn't allowed to collect them because Tang Bin's battalion's credit this time was earned through Qin Ming.)

"Since its formation, this is the first time the First Cavalry Battalion has demonstrated its power to the world. In one battle, it overwhelmingly defeated the Qingzhou cavalry with negligible losses of its own and captured a large number of enemy soldiers. In this battle, the First Cavalry Battalion displayed the spirit of the Liangshan cavalry! Therefore, the entire First Cavalry Battalion is awarded a third-class merit, Cui Ye and Wen Zhongrong are awarded a third-class Lone Star Medal, Tang Bin is awarded a second-class Bright Moon Medal, and the First Cavalry Battalion is awarded the name 'Wind Tiger'!"

"Wind Tiger Cavalry, swift as the wind and fierce as a tiger! Moving like the wind, attacking like a tiger! In this battle, the First Battalion of the Horse Army has already achieved this effect! I give the battalion name Wind Tiger to the First Battalion of the Horse Army, hoping that in the future the First Battalion of the Horse Army will remember these sixteen words and continue to work hard!"

Ren Yuan looked at Xu Ning and spoke slowly.

"Yes, brother!"

Xu Ning was also filled with excitement. Although it wasn't his own Ma Second Battalion, it was still a source of pride for the Ma Army!

Otherwise, other infantry and naval forces would have battalion flags, but the cavalry would not, which would make the cavalry look down upon!

"Alright, then let Du Qian and Song Wan distribute the remaining wealth, food, and wine rewards to everyone's camp. Don't worry, there will be plenty! If it's not enough, just ask Brother Jiang Jing for more! This was a great victory! We captured all the grain and supplies from the three-region allied forces. There will be plenty of these things!"

"Brothers who didn't get a flag today, don't worry. I'll make your flags in advance, but when you can take them from me depends on your skills!"

"So, brothers who don't have a flag, keep up the good work!"

Ren Yuan smiled and said to everyone. He could clearly feel that after he finished speaking, the temperature among the generals present rose a lot!

Sparks and lightning seemed to appear in the air!

Hmm...shouldn't we hurry up and sincerely invite those who know how to make flags to come up the mountain?

"Ah!"

At this moment, a tailor surnamed Hou from Hongdu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, suddenly sneezed.

Strange, why am I sneezing on such a hot day?
