Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Dalibo's complexion grew increasingly worse, and she clutched her stomach harder and harder; her trouser legs were even soaked.

"General... what should we do?"

Everyone present was Guan Sheng's trusted confidant, but in this situation, none of them knew what to do.

"Call back the brothers of Chunjun."

Guan Sheng gave instructions to the people around him.

"Yes!"

These soldiers were all Guan Sheng's trusted guards, so they didn't question anything and would carry out Guan Sheng's orders.

"you……"

Dalibo seemed to sense something, and his gaze towards Guan Sheng became grateful.

"Huichun Army is a doctor in our army, and they should be of help to you."

Guan Sheng's tone was neither joyful nor sorrowful.

"However, this does not mean I will let you go. You are still an enemy general, but as a pregnant mother, you have the right to give birth to your child."

"……Thanks."

Dalibo slowly sat down, trying to keep himself in a comfortable position.

"What will you do with the child after I give birth to him?"

"The decision is yours."

Guan Sheng looked down at Dali Bo from his high vantage point.

"I'll say it again: if you surrender, then everything is negotiable. My Dayi Army will not kill those who surrender."

"Retreat? That's probably impossible."

Dalibo lowered his head, his tone somewhat helpless. As the royal family of a dying empire, perhaps this was their tragedy.

"Isn't it good to be an ordinary citizen?"

Guan Sheng asked.

"General, if I were to ask you to retire from the army now, forget the deeds of your ancestors, and live as an ordinary citizen, would you be willing?"

Dalibo asked back.

“I am no good, but my child, whether male or female, knows nothing about himself. I surrender on his behalf, hoping the general will spare his life.”

At this moment, Dalibo only hoped to save his child's life.

"Let's talk about it after you get off the baby."

Guan Sheng didn't say much, and only silence remained between the two of them, along with Dalibo's increasingly rapid breathing.

"How long until the Rejuvenation Army arrives!"

Guan Sheng shouted behind him.

"General Guan, he's here!"

Actually, it's not that the Huichun Army was slow to arrive; it's mainly because people aren't familiar with Xijing City, and the streets are still a bit chaotic, so it's normal for them to be a little slow.

"General Guan, where are you injured?"

When the Huichun Army rushed over, they thought Guan Sheng was injured, so they sent his trusted guards to call for reinforcements from the Huichun Army. But when they arrived, they were completely bewildered. "General Guan, are you playing a trick on us? Aren't you uninjured?"

"It's not me, it's her."

Guan Sheng pointed to the Dalibo on the ground.

"Her? Who is she?"

The doctor from Huichun Army was a little puzzled.

"Princess of the Liao Kingdom".

"The Liao princess? No, then why aren't you killing her? What am I here for? To poison her?"

Hui Chunjun's doctor said, "I'm not a poison doctor!"

"She's about to give birth, and the child is innocent."

Guan Sheng shook his head and revealed his purpose.

"Ok?"

Doctors are compassionate, and human life is of paramount importance. Upon hearing this, the doctors of the Huichun Army changed their expressions. One of the older ones stepped forward and began to examine Dalibo's condition.

"The situation is not good, the baby needs to be delivered immediately, which one of you can do it?"

"..."

Several doctors shook their heads; none of them specialized in obstetrics.

"Well, let's try anything, it's just a child after all, we can't leave him untreated."

The older doctor sighed, then said to Guan Sheng:

"General, could you set up a shed? I don't think it'll be enough to get her to our camp. Let's give it our all today and see if we can save the child."

"it is good."

Guan Sheng nodded, then beckoned his trusted guards to fetch the materials for setting up a makeshift shed. At the same time, several doctors began to provide some basic treatment to Dalibo on the spot.

"Hold it."

The older doctor took a piece of ginseng from his medicine bag, cut a few slices, and had Dalibo hold one slice in his mouth.

There's plenty of ginseng in Korea, so when the Rejuvenation Army goes out, almost every doctor carries some in their pocket.

The 10th Army Corps moved quickly; in no time, a very simple tent was ready, with a large pot set up outside, boiling water.

"General Guan, we will do our best. The safety outside depends on Ma Shi's brothers."

The doctors said that saving lives was the priority, and they would appreciate the help of Ma Shi.

"Don't worry, I'll personally oversee things."

Guan Sheng held a knife in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, his expression very serious.

"it is good!"

The doctors gave Guan Sheng a deep look. They had always thought that General Guan was rather arrogant and not easy to approach, but his actions today were something that made them look at him in a new light.

Doctors are the ones who save lives, not soldiers. As the commander-in-chief, General Guan could have simply killed the enemy princess without considering the child in her womb. At most, he would have been criticized.

But if he does this and lets someone give birth to the child, then he has to bear a lot more responsibility.

General Guan, you've got guts!

……

Where is Brother Guan Sheng?

Meanwhile, in the city, the Dayi army was rapidly expanding its power, and had already taken over more than half of the city's streets.

Xu Ning was directing operations in parts of the city, repelling several Liao counterattacks, when he suddenly realized that Commander Guan Sheng was not there.

"I didn't see it."

Deng Yuanjue said that he did not see Guan Sheng after entering the city.

“I didn’t see her either. Oh, he said he went to find a Liao princess, but I couldn’t find her either.”

Zhang Qing also stated that he had not found the person.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, one of Zhang Qing's scouts returned with the latest news.

"Found him. He led a group of people to set up a shed in that area. Hui Chunjun sent several doctors, and now he is personally guarding that place. I don't know exactly what he's doing."

Zhang Qing shared her news.

“It seems something has happened. Master Yuanjue, you take over the defense here. I’ll go check it out. Brother Zhang Qing, you intensify your patrols and reassure the people. Make sure the people under our control don’t become unruly.”

Xu Ning instinctively sensed something was wrong. He handed over command to Deng Yuanjue, letting Zhang Qing continue to manage the appeasement efforts, while he himself led his men to find Guan Sheng.

Before long, he saw the makeshift shed, and Guan Sheng, who was guarding the shed, and his trusted guards.

"Teacher Xu, what brings you here?"

When Guan Sheng saw Xu Ning, his tone softened. Xu Ning held a high position in the army, and Guan Sheng dared not be arrogant towards him.

"Brother Guan, you are the commander-in-chief. Everyone suddenly couldn't find you, so they sent me to check on you."

Xu Ning spoke gently. Hearing the woman's cries of pain coming from the makeshift shed, and considering the news that the Liao princess was pregnant, he had already guessed what had happened.

"It was Guan's dereliction of duty. He will personally apologize to the Prince in the future."

Guan Sheng lowered his head.

"Brother Guan, is the Liao princess giving birth inside?"

Xu Ning pointed to the makeshift shed.

"The teacher is intelligent; you can't hide it from her."

Guan Sheng was also straightforward and readily admitted it.

"This is not a good situation."

Xu Ning frowned slightly; even with his usually calm demeanor, he found the situation somewhat troublesome.

"Brother Guan, how about we go together..."

Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, Guan Sheng interrupted him:

"I appreciate the teacher's good intentions, but all of this is under my orders. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility!"

……

PS: Based on all the feedback I received, it's roughly 1 and 3, with 3 being slightly more prevalent, but not overwhelmingly so. I'll take it all into consideration, practice a bit, have a meal, and write the next chapter a little later.

PPS: For those who chose option 3 in the comments, there's nothing wrong with the choice, but the reason given as "not of my kind" is inappropriate. "Not of my kind" refers to a broad concept of ethnicity or race, such as differences in ethnicity or race, like Koreans or people from other ethnic groups. That's acceptable.

The Liao Dynasty, also known as the Khitan people, were the ancestors of the Daur and other ethnic minorities in my country, so the phrase "not of our kind" cannot be used. While the Liao and Song Dynasties were indeed two separate states, and arguably two different ethnic groups based on the historical context, it's important to remember that they were both regimes within the Chinese mainland. This is similar to the Warring States period, with the Jiuli tribe of Chiyou and the Yanhuang tribe of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor vying for supremacy. When the Qin Dynasty unified the six states, it didn't kill all the "foreigners" of those states, nor did it kill all the local "foreigners" when unifying the southernmost regions like Jiaozhi and the Shanyue (present-day parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Jiangxi). Therefore, option 3 is correct, but the phrase "not of our kind" is inappropriate here. Similarly, Yue Fei is now considered a hero who resisted the Jin Dynasty, not a national hero, for the same reason.
