Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Join forces? What do you mean?"

Wuyan Guang looked at Wanyan Xie and asked.

"Are you playing dumb with me? Everyone knows that your Liao Kingdom is already in big trouble. You've lost three of your five capitals. If you keep fighting us to the death here, do you believe that Xijing will also be lost?"

Wanyan Xie also spoke to Wuyan Guang with great confidence, his words carrying a strong sense of threat.

"Hmph, Wanyan Xieye! Before Xijing falls, I can take over your capital! Do you believe me?"

But Wuyan Guang was not afraid of threats at all! When he was the commander-in-chief, he was the one who threatened others, and no one dared to threaten him!

"Wuyan Guang, don't talk big. If you really had that ability, would we have needed to fight here for so long? You can fool others, but you're trying to fool me?"

Wanyan Xie was no fool either. Wuyan Guang's personal martial prowess was indeed terrifying, and his large formation was indeed troublesome.

However, the Jin state also had many capable individuals. Although they might not be able to defeat him in a one-on-one fight, they could hold off Wuyan Guang when they all attacked together.

Moreover, in order to protect the various places in Xijing, not all of the twenty-eight constellation generals under Wuyan Guang came to Hubudagang, so the Hun Tian Formation in Hubudagang is only a castrated version with limited power.

"Hmph, take this arrow!"

Wuyan Guang blushed. Wanyan Xieye's words had indeed exposed his true colors, so he picked up the large bow beside him and shot an arrow at Wanyan Xieye!

"clang!!"

The arrow came very fast, but fortunately, Wanyan Xieye's eleventh brother, Wanyan Zhamu, who was also the Wanyan family's valiant warrior, was right beside him and raised his broadsword in time to block the arrow!

However, Wuyan Guang's arrow was very powerful. After Wanyan Zhamu's broadsword blocked the arrow, the shaft of the sword trembled incessantly! Even the blade was riddled with dents!

"Hmm? You can block one of my arrows? State your name!"

Wu Yanguang was somewhat surprised. Who was this young general?

"I am Wanyan Zhamu! Wuyan Guang! My fifth brother is talking to you because he thinks highly of you, don't be ungrateful!"

Wanyan Zhamu was young and fearless, and although he was shocked by the power of Wuyan Guang's arrow, he was not afraid of Wuyan Guang at all.

"Wanyan...another Wanyan..."

Wuyan Guang frowned. Having fought against the Jin Kingdom for so long, he now knew very well that this group of people with the surname Wanyan were members of the Jin royal family.

The royal family has produced so many talented people at this time; no wonder the country has been able to rise so quickly. In comparison, the Liao Dynasty, whose own people were surnamed Yelü... is indeed lacking.

"Wuyan Guang! We can give you time! We'll come back when you're ready!"

Wanyan Xie was also frightened by his eleventh brother's words. Eleventh brother, that is Wuyan Guang. If he really comes out, the two of us may not be able to stop him!

So he quickly made a harsh statement and then signaled to his eleventh brother: Let's get out of here quickly.

Wanyan Zhamu understood the look in his fifth brother's eyes. After making a provocative gesture at Wuyan Guang, he protected his fifth brother and turned to leave.

"General, those two are going too far! They completely disregard your authority! Let me lead men to pursue them!"

Wuyan Guang happened to have several generals from the Twenty-Eight Constellations by his side. Sun Zhong, "Jiaomu Jiao", Zhang Qi, "Kang Jinlong", Liu Ren, and Xie Wu, "Fang Ri Tu", saw that Wanyan Xieye and Wanyan Zhamu were very arrogant, so they immediately volunteered to fight and prepared to teach the Wanyan brothers a lesson.

"no need."

Wu Yanguang waved his hand.

“Even if you take your troops out, you may not be able to capture them. And since they came to negotiate, there can’t be only two of them. If you pursue them rashly, you may fall into their trap.”

"But Commander..."

Sun Zhong and the others were still indignant and wanted to say something, but Wuyan Guang directly gave them a task.

"Go to the army camp and summon all the generals to the main tent for a meeting."

"General, are we really going to join forces with the Jurchens?"

Sun Zhong and his group were actually Han Chinese, but they were not commoners; they held a relatively high position in the Liao Dynasty and therefore supported Liao rule. Like the Liao people, they looked down on other ethnic groups, especially the Jurchens. In their eyes, the Jurchens, who had once been servants, were still a bunch of peasants even now that they had established a state.

"Let's put the Jurchen matter aside for now and focus on the Dayi people. They managed to take over three of our five capitals, so we can't underestimate them! Especially, don't confuse them with the Song people!"

"They have already captured the three capitals of the East, Central and South. Next, they will definitely target either the Upper Capital or the Western Capital. We need to prepare in advance!"

Wuyan Guang is now very wary of Dayi, but because he doesn't have much information about Dayi, he doesn't know what kind of methods Dayi uses.

"As ordered!"

The generals accepted the order and left. Before departing, Sun Zhong and the others glanced at Wuyan Guang's furrowed brows, then knelt on one knee in unison and advised him:

"General, please take care of yourself! Your health is the most important thing to our Great Liao!"

"General, they're all just peasants; we shouldn't worry about them!"

……

"Go on with your work! I'm fine!"

Wuyan Guang signaled everyone to quickly prepare according to the assigned tasks. He planned to ask the army priests to perform divination to see what should be done this time.

Is it an alliance with the Jin Dynasty, which they used to look down upon?

Or should we incite conflict between the two countries, let them fight each other, and then reap the benefits?

Should we agree now and then change our minds depending on the situation?

When he couldn't make a decision, Wuyan Guang would ask the priest to divine the future, and the divination had never failed him since he joined the army!

So you're Da Yi, huh? I'd like to see just how big you are!

……

In Nanjing, Ren Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief after finishing annotating all the documents and memorials for the day.

After all, there have been many things happening in Nanjing recently, and more and more soldiers are surrendering on the border. Soon, the Yan-Yun region will be reconnected with the Liangshan headquarters! Those who have not returned to their homeland for many years can finally go home.

Similarly, when that time comes, the entire Bohai Sea will become Dayi's inland sea!

"Report! Report! Your Highness! News has come from the Western Song Dynasty. Emperor Huizong is sending people to reward you, saying it's to celebrate your victory!"

The messenger made the order very clear.

"Oh?"

Ren was initially startled, but then he realized what was happening.

"What did he ban me from? Tell me."

“That grandson of Zhao Ji is utterly dishonest. He only granted the prince the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, yet he expects the prince to guard and stabilize the northern border. As compensation, Zhao Ji is willing to pardon all of the prince’s previous crimes.”

The soldier's tone was very displeased.

"Pardon me? Who will do it? Could it be Zhao Ji?"

Ren Yuan pointed to himself, somewhat amused.

No, Zhao Ji, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm so easily pardoned? Who can just pardon me whenever they want?

They want to pardon me, but they only give me the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, and they still want me to fight against the Liao and Jurchens?

Zhao Ji, do you think I'm some kind of turtle from a temple in later generations, coming here to make a wish?

"Your Highness, their messenger is nearby. Should we call him over?"

"No, I refuse."

Ren Yuan waved his hand forcefully:

"Tell them to go back and tell them that Zhao Ji is not worthy to cooperate with me!"
