Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The Liangshan of 1112 was more festive than that of 1111.

The reason is simple: Shi Jin, the commander of the newly established Third Infantry Battalion, and Pang Qiuxia, the deputy commander of the newly established Sixth Infantry Battalion, got married!

This was a major event for Liangshan for the first time, and everyone in the stronghold had a great time.

That day, the entire village was almost completely immersed in red.

It is said that Mi Sheng and Chen Da, those two fools, even went down the mountain and bought up all the red cloth in several nearby shops.

This move surprised Jiang Jing.

Are you two stupid?

Why do we need so many?

“It’s alright, Brother Jiang Jing. We’ll just save the extras for later. Think about it, with so many brothers in the stronghold, it’s impossible for only Brother Shi Jin to get married. If I get married in the future, I can use them too.”

Mi Sheng even argued with Jiang Jingzhen, feeling that he was absolutely right.

Jiang Jing didn't bother with further words to Mi Sheng and directly gave orders to his subordinates:

"Pass the word down that the leader of the Misheng tribe wants to get married."

"Yes!" The soldiers under his command suppressed their laughter and slipped out immediately!

"Brother Jiang Jing! You've ruined... ruined... Chen Da, what did Mr. Wen say about this last time?"

Mi Sheng was shocked and was about to refute Jiang Jing, but due to his limited education, he couldn't say the right word and had no choice but to ask Chen Da for help.

Chen Da, who had been enjoying the show, was suddenly stunned.

No, in Mr. Wen's class, you were last and I was second to last. You're asking me? Do I look like I know the answer?

"Hmm... ruined, ruined, ah, old man, I should go back."

Chen Da quickly prepared to flee.

"It's slander. If you two don't work harder, you'll really be criticized by the whole village again. Let's go, I'll keep the things for now."

Jiang Jing was impressed by these two clowns and quickly sent them away.

The two went out happily, but it was only after they had been gone for a long time that Mi Sheng suddenly remembered.

Wait a minute, did Brother Jiang Jing forget to call that junior officer back?

As a result, rumors spread in the mountain stronghold that the leader of the Mi Sheng tribe saw that the leader of the Shi Jin tribe was getting married, and he also wanted to get married!

The rumor spread so much that later, Mi Sheng's mother even dragged Ren Yuan over to ask Mi Sheng in person which girl he had taken a fancy to.

……

Shi Jin's wedding was a lively affair. On that day, Shi Taigong, Wang Jin, and Ren Yuan all sat in the main seats and received tea from the newlyweds.

Looking at Shi Jin embracing Pang Qiuxia sweetly, Ren Yuan suddenly felt that this was the kind of life he wanted when he traveled back in time.

To change the original fate of these people and give them a better future and outcome.

It's already working!

"Brother, you seem especially happy."

Zhu Wu turned around casually and saw the expression on Ren Yuan's face, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Yes, isn't that great?"

Ren Yuan smiled.

"I believe in my brother. We'll be better off in the future, right?"

Zhu Wu smiled and clinked glasses with Ren Yuan.

"Absolutely! Liangshan will only get better and better!"

Ren Yuan said decisively, then gulped down the wine.

……

After a few days of excitement, a small team quietly left Liangshan one morning.

This time, their goal was clear: head south! To cause trouble!

The group was small, consisting of Ren Yuan, Mi Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Sun An, Qiao Daoqing, Shi Qian, Lü Fang, and Guo Sheng, along with several dozen guards.

They had a total of five carriages, still using Chai Jin's name, this time disguised as镖师 (bodyguards/escorts).

"Brother, where should we go first?"

Before setting off, Mi Sheng asked a question.

After being transferred to the Imperial Guard, Mi Sheng was very happy about one thing: he could go out with Ren Yuan every day.

As for his personal guard infantry, no problem, Lin Chong is still there for the personal guards.

"Let's go to your hometown first, Jingnan."

"Jingnan? Great! Brother, you don't know, there are lots of delicious food and fun things to do in Jingnan..."

When Mi Sheng heard that everyone was going to visit his hometown first, he was immediately happy and started telling everyone how wonderful his hometown was.

"Brother, is there any great talent in Jingnan?"

Sun An asked.

As the first stop on the way south, it was definitely very important. Ren Yuan chose Jingnan without hesitation, which meant he knew what he was doing.

"There is indeed a very important person in Jingnan."

Ren Yuan said to everyone:

"This man is a man of both literary and martial talents, with top-notch skills in both areas. Moreover, he comes from a noble family and his status is no less than that of Master Chai."

"Brother, are you talking about Master Xiao?"

Mi Sheng brought his big head closer.

"Hey, not bad, Mi Sheng, you actually knew that."

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised that this idiot actually knew about Xiao Jiasui.

"I know him! Everyone in Jingnan City knows Master Xiao. I even know where he lives!"

Mi Sheng shook his head and swayed his body, looking particularly smug.

"You even know where they live?"

Lu Zhishen was shocked. Was this still the Mi Sheng?

"Of course, Master! He lives next door to the paper shop on the south street of the Marshal's Mansion, and he is a descendant of Emperor Wu, the founding emperor of the Southern Liang Dynasty!"

"real or fake?"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were extremely surprised. It turned out that there really was someone whose status was no less than that of Master Chai!

"It's true. This Xiao Jiahui is both a scholar and a warrior, and he is also very skilled in troop deployment. He is especially like Li Yaoshi of the Tang Dynasty back then."

Ren Yuan also had a high opinion of Xiao Jiasui, directly comparing him to Li Jing, the military genius of the Tang Dynasty.

“Such a talented person is indeed worth being the first to go. After he went up the mountain, I felt less pressure.”

Qiao Daoqing was also very impressed. If Xiao Jiasui were to come up the mountain, he would definitely become another great strategist!

There are only three strategists in the village now, which is still too few!

Overjoyed, everyone immediately changed their course and headed towards Jingnan.

But before they had set off for long, the group noticed a man dressed as a Taoist priest sitting on a branch of a large tree by the roadside, a blade of grass between his teeth and a gold brick in his hand, which he kept tossing around. He would glance at the road every now and then, and when Ren Yuan's caravan appeared, he immediately perked up.

"You Taoist priest, why are you spying on our carriage?"

Lu Zhishen, who was at the front of the group, saw the Taoist priest immediately and shouted.

At this shout, all the soldiers immediately drew their swords, and all the leaders also immediately came out of the vehicle.

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

Strange, we haven't even left Liangshan territory yet, and someone is already hijacking a mountain stronghold's car?

"Master! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest quickly jumped down from the tree, landing silently without disturbing the dust.

"What a light gong!"

Upon seeing this, Shi Qian's pupils contracted, and he immediately spoke to Ren Yuan.

"Brother, be careful. This person's lightness skill is superb, no less than mine."

"It's all a misunderstanding! You all must be from Liangshan. I wonder if Brother Ren Yuan, the Sky Pillar, is here? I've come to join your ranks!"

"I have a friend on Liangshan named Qiao Daoqing. He's the one who wrote to me and sent me here!"

The Taoist priest quickly explained, lest he be mistaken for a robber.

"Old Ma, is that you, kid?"

Upon hearing the voice, Qiao Daoqing recognized it and immediately stepped forward and spoke up.

"Old Joe! You're here! That's great! Quickly tell your brother I've come to jump off the mountain!"

The Taoist priest recognized his old friend's voice and, upon seeing Qiao Daoqing in person, was immediately overjoyed.

“Brother, this is my brother who studied martial arts with me back then. His name is Ma Ling. Because he is skilled in using gold bricks and has also learned the art of lightness and speed, his friends in the martial arts world gave him the nickname ‘Divine Steed’. I did write to him asking him to come and join me.”

Qiao Daoqing said to Ren Yuan with a smile.

Little did Ren Yuan know, he was also secretly delighted.

Well, the fastest man in Water Margin has arrived! This trip south is a good omen!

Finding a lucky horse right outside the door—family members, none of you understand this kind of joy!

(Just to explain, in this book's setting, Shi Qian's lightness skill is flexible, unpredictable, and ethereal, while Ma Ling's lightness skill can be summed up in one word: fast! Extremely fast! You can think of Ma Ling as Wei Yixiao or The Flash.)
