Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"The Jurchens are currently still maintaining their most primitive system, and when it comes to women, the succession is between the father and son, or between the brother and the younger brother."

Hsu Kuan-chung tried his best to keep his expression unchanged.

"So, if you really do go, it's very likely, so you need to be prepared."

"Strategist, how about we find someone else? I think Brother Suo Chao is quite good."

Su Ding had a bitter face and didn't know what to say. He turned his head and saw that Su Chao was still laughing. Su Ding immediately dragged him into the mess!

I'll make you happy, so be happy!

"What? Brother Su Ding, you're trying to get me into trouble!"

Suo Chao quickly waved his hand, saying that he was not cut out for being a spy and that he couldn't be allowed to do it.

“Strategist, as the old saying goes, everyone has their own expertise; my brother also often says that professionals should do professional things. I’m just a roughneck, how could I be a spy?”

"Moreover, I know nothing about the Jurchens, only six out of seven orifices are clear to me. Brother Su Ding infiltrated the Jurchens for so long back then, he is definitely more suitable than me!"

Despite his rough and unrefined appearance, Suo Chao can really talk a good game when it comes to crucial moments!

If you were to switch to a tassel, you'd probably only be able to say "Aba aba".

"Don't worry, Brother Suo Chao, you're really not suited for this mission."

Xu Guanzhong first suppressed a laugh and comforted Suo Chao, then looked at Su Ding and said:

“Brother Su Ding, I was just saying there was a possibility, and I trust your character. You would never forget your principles because of a woman. This mission is most suitable for you.”

"And don't worry, you're not alone this time. I've also arranged a deputy for you."

Hsu Kuan-chung said that such a big matter would certainly not be handled by Su Ting alone.

"Oh? Which brother is it?"

Su Ding's eyes lit up. He wasn't going alone! That was great!

"You'll find out in a few days; he should be arriving soon."

Hui Koon-chung kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then said to everyone:

"Brothers, you've all worked hard. Tonight, we'll host a banquet in the city. Enjoy a good meal!"

"Strategist, with such a great achievement, shouldn't we go to a restaurant for a meal?"

After learning that he didn't have to be a spy, Suo Chao felt relieved and even dared to make demands of Xu Guanzhong.

“Sure, this is the biggest restaurant in town. I'll treat you all to whatever you like.”

Xu Guanzhong was also very generous. This time, the generals had indeed done a great job in breaking the Liao-Jin alliance, so why shouldn't he treat everyone to a good meal?

"Strategist, this is the first time I've ever eaten at a meal hosted by you! So I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Suo Chao laughed and said that it wasn't that Xu Guanzhong was stingy, but that the food at the Dayi Army's own kitchen was of very high quality, so the group rarely ate out.

Among the strategists, Xu Guanzhong basically gave all his salary to his mother. Because he received subsidies and didn't spend much money, he gave people a very frugal impression, which was in stark contrast to the other super-dashing guy. So when he said he was going to treat everyone, everyone felt it was a rare treat.

"I will certainly attend Military Advisor Xu's banquet."

Guan Sheng greatly admired Xu Guanzhong, and he knew that even among all the strategists, Xu Guanzhong was among the top three, and that he had a very good relationship with his prince.

Guan Sheng asked himself if he had many good friends in the Dayi Army. In the future, the descendants of the Guan family would need his support. If he could get along well with Military Advisor Xu now, he would have one more person to talk to in the future.

"Strategist Xu, then I, Lu, shall humbly comply."

Lu Junyi nodded to Xu Guanzhong. Unlike Guan Sheng, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Yue Fei were Ren Yuan's fellow disciples. They didn't need to worry too much. As long as Ren Yuan didn't fall, they would be fine. Therefore, they got along well with everyone.

"What are you doing, brothers? I, Xu Guanzhong, am not a penny-pincher. Everyone, eat your fill today, and you're not allowed to leave until you've eaten your fill!"

Xu Guanzhong was a little dumbfounded. No, he just doesn't usually spend money, but that doesn't mean he's stingy!

"Haha, Brother Su, you have to come too! You're going to be a spy soon and won't be around for a while. Tonight, I'll definitely drink with you until we drop!"

Suo Chao casually hooked his arm around Su Ding's neck and pulled him toward the city. Although Su Ding was somewhat helpless, he didn't say anything.

That night, Xu Guanzhong did indeed treat his brothers to a feast at the best restaurant in the city. Moreover, Xu Guanzhong was sincere, serving large portions of delicious dishes, and the cost of the meal was quite substantial.

However, it is said that when he was about to pay the bill, Lu Junyi stopped him.

"The strategist is treating us, and that's the thought that counts. I'll pay for the drinks. I also want to thank everyone for their great help in making this operation go smoothly! Strategist, it's so nice of you to treat us and I'll pay."

Lu Junyi was truly wealthy. The only one in Dayi who could rival him in wealth was Chai Jin. Moreover, Lu Junyi knew that Xu Guanzhong was filial and did not take a salary every month. He also often distributed his monthly military advisor allowance to soldiers in need. Therefore, Lu Junyi naturally would not let him actually pay for it.

"Sir, what am I supposed to do?"

Xu Guanzhong sighed helplessly. Well, if this got out, he'd probably be even more unable to explain himself.

But Lu Junyi was genuinely happy today, and had drunk a bit too much. He put his arm around Xu Guanzhong's shoulder and said to him arrogantly:

"Strategist, it's alright. I may lack other things, but I have plenty of martial arts skills and money!"

……

The lively night passed just like that, and everyone then waited for news from the front. Two days later, they received the latest news from the front.

"The Liao and Jin dynasties once again clashed fiercely. The Jin dynasty, under the pretext of avenging Wanyan Xieye, prepared to offer the head of Wuyan Guang as a sacrifice!"

"On the Liao side, Wuyan Guang issued a statement condemning the Jin people for making false accusations first and for lacking martial ethics. He stated that the Liao people would never again form alliances or become friendly neighbors with the Jin people, and that there would only be a fight to the death!"

"Great, great, that's exciting! The more exciting their fight is, the more at ease we'll feel."

Xu Guanzhong was very satisfied with this. Later that day, a leader who had been urgently transferred from the Liangshan headquarters by Xu Guanzhong also arrived in the city!

"Xie Ning greets the strategist!"

That's right, Xu Guanzhong summoned Xie Ning for this undercover operation!

"Brother Xie Ning!"

Su Ding was also surprised to see Xie Ning, as he knew of Xie Ning's glorious deeds under Tian Hu.

"So, Brother Su Ding, now that I've brought Brother Xie Ning along, are you feeling more confident?"

Xu Guanzhong smiled and looked at Su Ding.

Su Ding and Xie Ning—this is the strongest undercover team targeting the Jurchens!

"Strategist, you've thought of everything! Brother Xie Ning! Oh, no, brother, from today onwards, you are one of the survivors of the Zengtou City branch, and your name is Zeng Ning..."
