Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"You have a plan?"

Looking at Wen Da's sly expression, Li Cheng felt somewhat helpless.

We've been brothers for so many years, we all know each other well. You, Wen Da, have never been a strategist! Where did you get your plan from?

"Coincidentally, I also have a plan."

Li Cheng looked at Wen Da and said the same thing.

"You have a plan too?"

Wen Da was first startled, then overjoyed:

"Alright, alright, we really are good brothers. I have a plan, you have a plan, so we have two plans now!"

"..."

Li Cheng said, "This brother is no longer acceptable. With that kind of intelligence, he shouldn't even call himself Li Cheng's brother!"

Why don't you tell me your plan?

"Let me tell you, my plan is that we open the city gates ourselves and let them in!"

Wen Da lowered his voice and said.

"..."

Li Cheng stared wide-eyed at his good brother, Wen Da. "No, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"and then?"

"They've come in."

Wen Da was somewhat confused. "And then what? What's next?"

"Yeah, they got in, and then what?"

Li Cheng said, "You don't have any backup plans?"

"What's the big deal? They've come in, so they're here. Let them do whatever they want. As long as we don't clash with them, nothing will happen."

Wen Da poured out all his thoughts at once.

"...Wen Da, why don't you just say you want to surrender the city?"

Li Cheng's face turned dark after hearing this!

I knew I couldn't count on this guy! What good ideas could he possibly have!

"Hey! Hey! Brother, what are you doing? You can't just say those two words like that! You can't just say whatever you want!"

Upon hearing Li Cheng's words, Wen Da jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on! After looking around, he pretended to cover Li Cheng's mouth.

"Brother, you can't say anything carelessly, or we'll be in big trouble if someone hears us."

Li Cheng's face turned dark.

"You were the one who brought this up, so why are you saying I'm talking nonsense?"

"Brother, there are some things we can do, but we can't say. Don't you understand that?"

Wen Da exclaimed, "Are you still my brother? How could you be so foolish!"

"Brother, I want to ask you, is surrendering the city something we can do?"

Li Cheng said, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying? If it weren't for the fact that we're brothers, do you believe I would have just chopped you up?"

"What's wrong with that, brother? What else can we do but surrender the city? Fight the Dayi army? Don't you know their background?"

Wen Da retorted, "Are you sure you don't know who the Dayi Army is? Didn't you get beaten up when Liangshan attacked Daming Prefecture back then?"

"Besides, I've heard that Tong Guan has surrendered to them. Think about it, Tong Guan personally led his troops to attack Liangshan. If even he could surrender, why can't we?"

After hearing Wen Da's words, Li Cheng was somewhat tempted, but he still said aloud:

"Don't forget your benefactor..."

"Come on, brother. 'Grand Minister'? After Cai Jing established the Great Lai Kingdom, did he ever promote either of us? Did Liang Shijie ever say a word of justice for us?"

Wen Da said he was disappointed in Liang Shijie. He had risked his life to protect Cai Jing’s daughter and escape from Daming Prefecture, and the promise he made was to help Liang Shijie advance in his official career.

As a result, he waited for a long time but received nothing. In the end, he returned to Daming Prefecture with Li Cheng.

So all that effort I put into protecting you back then, only to end up with nothing?

This made Wen Da feel very resentful, to the point that his subsequent behavior of not putting in effort at work became even more obvious.

"You're...right."

Wen Da protected Cai Jing's daughter, while Li Cheng initially protected Liang Shijie. Similarly, he received nothing in return. What good were Liang Shijie's sweet words back then? In the end, he got nothing!

"Right, bro? So what do you think of my plan?"

Hearing that Li Cheng's attitude towards Liang Shijie and the others was the same as his own, Wen Da instantly perked up!

"not so good."

Li Cheng rolled his eyes at Wen Da. This guy really lived up to his nickname, Wen Da Dao (Wen the Big Knife). All he could think about was a big knife!

"You don't agree?"

Wen Da was surprised. "Dude, you know Liang Shijie wronged us, yet you still work for him? Are you really that loyal?"

"It's not that I disagree, it's just that it can't be like you said."

Wen Da said that simply opening the gates and surrendering the city would not demonstrate their capabilities!

"What should I do?"

Wen Da said, "Then tell me a suggestion."

“Here’s what you’re going to do: go into the city and call Wang Ding over. Tell him you want to switch shifts with him. Wang Ding is the best fighter in Daming Prefecture besides the two of us, and he’s Cai Jing’s man. We need to get him to come to the pass.”

"and then?"

Wen Da's eyes lit up; it seemed that his brother's plan was indeed more interesting!

"Then I'll take turns guarding the pass with him. Tonight, I'll give him some spiked soup. After he falls asleep, I'll tie him up, then open the pass gate and send my trusted confidant to the opposite camp to inform them to let them enter the city."

"In this way, it's not just about surrendering the city, but also capturing the general—that's two achievements!"

Li Cheng held up two fingers to indicate that this was the correct way to use the plan!

"Brother, you're the most reliable one!"

After hearing this, Wen Da looked at Li Cheng with admiration. He really hadn't expected that the plan could be arranged in such detail. He truly deserved to be called a "Heavenly King"!

"Then what should I do?"

"Go into the inner city, then call Wang Wancang out and tie him up just like I did with Wang Ding. Then open the inner city gate, and I'll lead the people from the other side through the pass and then go straight into the city!"

Li Cheng said, "We're brothers, so I won't cheat you. I'll let you have the same merits as me: surrendering the city and capturing the general!"

"But Wang Wancang is a civil official. How can I get him to come with me to take turns guarding the inner city?"

"Are you stupid? Even if Wang Wancang can't defend the city, you can still invite him to dinner. While you're eating, you can get him drunk, tie him up, and that's not that hard, is it?"

Li Cheng said, "Brother, can you use your brain, which is full of knives? I have to teach you this skill step by step."

"Understood! Brother, I'm off!"

Wen Da immediately perked up. After greeting Li Cheng, he rushed down the pass and onto the city wall, then spurred his horse and charged into the inner city!

He couldn't wait any longer; he had to get rid of these two men surnamed Wang as soon as possible!

Then... he invested in Dayi!

Anyway, back then, the people from Dayi kidnapped him! And they even shared a car with him! He just doesn't believe the people from Dayi don't remember him!

As for Liang Shijie... I hope I never run into you again in this lifetime!

P.S.: I'm in Xuzhou attending the 8th Tennis Association Training Course! It's a full three and a half days of classes, and I hope to gain a lot from it!
