Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Tokyo is not peaceful these days."

On Liangshan Mountain, Ren Yuan was enjoying hot pot with Xiao Jiasui and others while admiring the snow scenery.

"This is the first time in all these years that I've seen so many people in Tokyo during the New Year."

Xiao Jiahui smacked her lips as she ate the meat.

"There are always some people who want to go to Tokyo to join in the fun. In my opinion, isn't this just Cai Jing's open conspiracy?"

"Brother Xiao is right. This time, the Lai Kingdom deliberately released the news that Cai Jing was seriously ill in order to lure all the ambitious people in the world into Tokyo, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Zhu Wu also held a bowl and ate with relish.

"Anyone who goes is a fool."

Ren Yuan made a simple and straightforward conclusion: those bandits who hadn't even figured out where to settle down, or rather, some civilian forces, actually dared to go to Tokyo. Were they really not afraid of being devoured by Cai Jing?

"But brother, why don't we go? Cai Jing wiped out all those people, so why don't we wipe out Cai Jing too?"

Mi Sheng ate with slurping noises, and even started thinking while eating.

"Old Hei, look how clever you are! You mean we should go too? If we go, who else do you think would dare to go to Tokyo? Besides, if we go, will we even enter the city? If we don't enter the city, where will we be?"

Shan Shiqi, sweating profusely as he ate, retorted to Mi Sheng.

"Then let's go into the city! Just like when we went to Daming Prefecture to rescue Master Lu!"

Mi Sheng said, "How could Dayi be absent from such a lively event?"

"Old Hei, you can't just think about joining in the fun now."

Shan Shiqi said, "Now that we are all generals of a country, we need to broaden our horizons."

"I'm not just here for the fun, brother, let's go!"

"So, Old Black, tell me, what's the reason we absolutely have to go?"

Ren Yuan picked up a bowl of meat for himself and asked Mi Sheng.

"Brother, Fang La's side is already in trouble. If we take advantage of this opportunity to capture Tokyo, then the entire Central Plains will be completely under our control!"

Mi Sheng wore a "I'm so wise now" expression, and then continued:

"If Cai Jing's Lai Kingdom doesn't have Tokyo, then they're nothing! After we take down the Lai Kingdom in one fell swoop, we can even take down Fang La's Ming Kingdom! Then, with only Zhao Ji's group left, we can unify the world directly!"

“Mi Sheng, I must say, you’re really starting to use your brain now.”

Xiao Jiahui stopped eating and praised Mi Sheng.

"Brother Mi Sheng, you have indeed changed a lot in just three days."

Zhu Wu also said that Mi Sheng now has a brain.

"See that? See that? Lao Shan, even the strategists say I've got a brain!"

Mi Sheng was very pleased to have gained the strategist's approval, and he winked at Shan Shiqi.

"There has been progress, but we're still not going this time."

Ren Yuan acknowledged Mi Sheng's progress, but noted that there were still limitations.

"Why, brother?"

Mi Sheng was somewhat puzzled. He looked at Xiao Jiahui and Zhu Wu, but neither of them said anything.

"Shiqi, tell Lao Hei why?"

Ren Yuan looked at Shan Shiqi and said.

"Because this time, my brother plans to become a hunter."

Sansky nodded, and then began to explain.

"hunter?"

Mi Sheng was a little confused for a moment.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Cai Jing's open scheme this time is probably to make the remaining ambitious people in the world fight each other, and then he will be the oriole."

"But my brother's idea is that we won't get involved this time; we'll be the hunters. Simply put, whoever wins in the end, we'll hunt them down!"

"I see!"

Mi Sheng understood; so that's what her brother was thinking!

"It's just Tokyo. If someone wants it, then give it to them."

Ren Yuan put down his chopsticks and looked at the snow scene in the distance, his tone full of domineering.

"If Cai Jing can help me get rid of some ambitious but unrealistic people, then I can thank him."

"But if he thinks that purging some unworthy ambitious individuals can help him reverse some of his decline in the struggle for supremacy in the Central Plains..."

Ren Yuan turned to look at Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi.

"Mi Sheng, Shi Qi, what do you say we should do?"

"beat him!"

"beat!"

"That's right! We will use our absolute strength to show him that the oriole will always be an oriole, and can never escape the hunter's clutches!"

……

However, to Ren Yuan's surprise, a few days later, an urgent message from the border forced him to adjust his strategy.

"Zhe Kecun took people to Tokyo? Does he have a brain?! Have Yang Zhi and his brothers returned?"

"Brother, Brother Yang Zhi will be returning to the mountain in about a day or two. As for Zhe Kecun... that guy probably wants to become famous throughout the world."

Hsiao Chia-hui said, "This guy, Zhe Ke-cun, is one of the rising stars of the Zhe family. He's young, so it's normal for him to want to show off."

"What's wrong with his head? Does he think that just because he brought more than 20,000 men, he can completely win this Tokyo uprising?"

Ren Yuan shook his head helplessly. Young people really can't keep their tempers up!

“Brother, given the current situation, with over 20,000 members of the Zhe family rushing into Tokyo, the already murky waters of Tokyo are only getting muddier.”

Hsiao Chia-hui stated that the addition of the Zhe family army will definitely disrupt Cai Jing's plans, and those unscrupulous ambitious individuals are simply no match for the Zhe family army!

"So, Cai Jing might very well reveal himself from behind the scenes ahead of schedule, if this really is a grand scheme he's orchestrating. Any new information from Lehe?"

Ren Yuan tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

"Not yet, should I go ask?"

Xiao Jiahui asked.

"Forget it, we can't put too much pressure on Lehe. Let Master Lu prepare as well. When Brother Yang Zhi comes back, we'll go to Tokyo together."

"Brother, are you going in person?"

“Zhe Kecun is, after all, one of our Liangshan allies, and since Cai Jing wants to make Tokyo the most watched place in the world, then I will grant his wish!”

Ren Yuan stood up, his cloak billowing behind him even without wind!

"I'd like to see who dares to dominate the Central Plains without my permission."

……

Meanwhile, near Tokyo, many bandits, ambitious individuals, and rebel armies who were currently roaming freely throughout the Song Dynasty had gathered.

The Tokyo garrison has recently relaxed its checks on the city gates, and it seems that anyone can enter the city. These miscellaneous troops have now found a temporary foothold outside Tokyo and sent out scouts to gather information.

With effort comes reward; they actually managed to uncover some information.

The ailing Cai Jing will summon heroes from all over the land to Tokyo on the last day of the first lunar month to vie for the position of Regent of Lai! As long as the Cai family is not destroyed, this Regent will also enjoy the wealth of Lai!

Cai Jing's original words were:

"Do you want to become the regent of Lai? Do you want Lai's treasures? If so, you can have them all! I've placed all the treasures in Tokyo! If you're capable, come and take them!"

These words have made the future situation in Tokyo even more unpredictable!
