Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Running around Hebei East Road?"

Ren Yuan raised an eyebrow. Who is it?

"I'm not sure exactly, but it's either Hebei East Road or Hebei West Road, or maybe even Jingdong East Road. But that old guy is alright. If we can get him on board, it will definitely ease the current situation."

Hsiao Chia-hui said that this person is alright and can be used.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me, who is it?"

Ren Yuan didn't remember who it was, and too lazy to think about it, so he just asked directly.

"Do you remember Fang Xuedu, Tian Hu's former strategist?"

Hsiao Chia-hui also spoke directly.

"Fang Xuedu? Oh, I remember now!"

Ren Yuan also remembered that Tian Hu had lost many talents to him throughout his life, and he really didn't have many capable people under him. Fang Xuedu was his most important strategist, and together with Li Tianxi and Zheng Zhirui, they formed the iron triangle under Tian Hu.

Later, when Tian Hu was defeated and killed, Li Tianxi and Zheng Zhirui both died in battle. Only Fang Xuedu escaped with the last of Tian Hu's men and began to hide in the northern mountains and forests, fighting here today and there tomorrow. Now, it is unknown whether Fang Xuedu has become Zuo Shandiao.

“Brother, it’s great that you still remember. As for Fang Xuedu, I looked him up before. He’s quite capable and hasn’t done anything bad. He’s quite willing to give Tian Hu some reliable ideas, but unfortunately Tian Hu doesn’t listen, so his plans are basically not adopted.”

Xiao Jiasui urgently needs someone to help him with his work.

"Brother, since we're short-handed, why don't we give Fang Xuedu a try? Even if he's not the best, he shouldn't be any worse than that strategist currently in our stronghold, right?"

Yes, that's right. Wu Yong is currently following Zhu Wu and serving as a military advisor at Liangshan. Wu Yong, who works diligently without any ulterior motives, has indeed helped Zhu Wu a lot. It is said that he received the title of "Star of Labor" in the stronghold for two consecutive months.

"Alright, let him come and test his skills. If he's capable, let him, like Wu Yong, first serve as a military advisor."

Ren Yuan said that he could come to Dayi now, but he would take it one step at a time.

“Brother, aren’t you afraid that Fang Xuedu will look down on the low rank you’re giving me? You didn’t have this attitude when you recruited me.”

Xiao Jiahui nodded, then suddenly asked with a smile.

“You are you, and he is him. If he has your abilities, then I wouldn’t mind going to great lengths to invite him.”

Ren Yuan didn't say much, patted Xiao Jiasui on the shoulder, and handed the matter over to him to handle.

"Then I'll contact Yan Qing and have him mobilize the Sky Curtain Army to find Fang Xuedu's whereabouts."

Xiao Jiasui said that Ma Ling and Shi Qian are not in Liangshan now, so they can only look for Yan Qing.

"Well, once we find it, let Bian Xiang go there."

Ren Yuan thought for a moment and then suddenly said a name that surprised Xiao Jiasui.

"Brother Bian Xiang? Brother, isn't this a bit of a waste of his talents?"

“Back then, Bian Xiang was looked down upon by Tian Hu, who made him travel all over the mountains as a persuader. Now that things have come to an end, let him go. It’s a good opportunity to get rid of Tian Hu’s last remaining power.”

Ren Yuan told Xiao Jiasui that Xiao Jiasui didn't know much about Bian Xiang's past.

"Is that so? Then it seems that Brother Bian Xiang is the most suitable to go."

Xiao Jiahui narrowed her eyes, realizing there was this connection.

"Then brother, I'll go and send a message by carrier pigeon right away!"

……

"Brother, this is a message from Military Advisor Xiao sent by carrier pigeon."

Bian Xiang's troops are currently stationed at Liangshan and are responsible for recruiting and surrendering various cities along the eastern route of Jingdong.

Currently, apart from Qingzhou under Murong Yanda, all other areas in the eastern part of Jingdong have tacitly surrendered. As for Qingzhou, Zhu Wu thoughtfully left this city to Qin Ming.

"Military Advisor Xiao's message by carrier pigeon? Bring it here so I can see it."

Bian Xiang was a little surprised. Wasn't Military Advisor Xiao supposed to have gone to the Liao Kingdom with his brother? Why was he sending him a message by carrier pigeon?

After reading the message sent by carrier pigeon, he felt even greater respect for his brother.

Brother, you're still so considerate of your brothers!

Although it's been ages since I worked for Tian Hu, this experience is real. If I don't handle it now, someone might use it against me decades later.

Such concerns are not without merit, because decades later, some scoundrels did indeed take advantage of the Emperor's southern tour, Lu Shuai's border defense, and the illnesses of Xiao He and Sun Shuai, to attack Bian Shuai, the top military general in the court at the time, on the issue of his birth.

However, they did not succeed, because after they finished speaking, the crown prince, who had grown up in the army since childhood, was so angry that he drew his sword on the spot, ready to splatter blood in the court and kill the treacherous officials!

This move terrified those bastards so much that they didn't dare utter a sound, while the generals congratulated the Crown Prince in unison! Commander Bian was so moved that he shed tears in the court!

In the end, every single one of them was imprisoned. When Emperor Taizu returned from his southern tour and learned of this, he greatly praised the Crown Prince's actions and once again expressed his absolute trust in the veterans of the army, including Commander Bian.

Of course, Bian Xiang was unaware of these matters at the moment. He only knew that he had to resolve Fang Xuedu's situation himself.

"Brother, do you need us to send some men with you?"

When Lei Jiong and Ji Ji learned that Bian Xiang was going to resolve Fang Xuedu's problem, they immediately offered to go with him.

"No need. This is my own personal matter, I can go by myself."

Bian Xiang said no need, it was better for him to handle his final contact with Tian Hu himself.

“Brother, but…”

"Haha, my two brothers, don't worry. Back when I was with Tian Hu, I traveled alone across the mountains. I wasn't afraid then, so why would I be afraid now?"

Bian Xiang said with a smile that with his current martial arts skills, he could travel the world without any problem, let alone the mere Jingdong East Road.

“Brother, things are different now. Our Zhenwei Army of over ten thousand men is all counting on you. This time, you can go to meet them alone, but you must at least bring two battalions as guards so that you can provide support at any time.”

Lei Jiong said, "Bian Xiang, you can go, but you absolutely cannot go alone!"

“Brother, what Lao Lei said is also my idea. You absolutely cannot go alone.”

Ji Ji also said, "Absolutely not!"

"Alright, alright, I'll do as you say and take two battalions of brothers with me!"

Looking at his two brothers who cared about him, Bian Xiang felt quite emotional, and memories of those miserable days of living in the open and eating in the wind and rain came flooding back to him.

I owe a great debt to Mr. Wen back then; otherwise, I might already be a skeleton lying in some unknown mountain!

"Ah!"

In an unnamed ravine on Jingdong East Road, Fang Xuedu, who had lost a lot of weight, suddenly sneezed loudly! His eyelids twitched involuntarily!

Fang Xuedu's heart sank suddenly.

A sneeze and an eye twitch mean disaster is coming sooner or later!

It seems we can't stay in this valley any longer...
