Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

After capturing Hangzhou, Du Xue led his men to sweep across the entire south with lightning speed!

After he had settled the entire south, he also received news from Liangshan.

The scout gave him two letters and instructed him to open them in order.

Du Xue opened the first letter, which informed him that he had been relieved of his post as commander of the 11th Army Corps of the cavalry and would be punished with forty strokes of the cane upon returning to the mountain, personally carried out by Ren Yuan.

Being dismissed from his post was within his expectations, since the fact that he had killed a surrendered general meant he had no choice but to be punished. But he hadn't expected to be flogged, and by the prince himself!

"Brother Du, Brother Pei Xuan really doesn't show any mercy."

When Lu Cheng and Liu Yijing received the news, they both shook their heads helplessly. Although they had already expected that the outcome might not be good, they still felt that Pei Xuan was truly ruthless in the face of such a bad result.

He made such a great contribution to pacifying Jiangnan, yet Pei Xuan dismissed him without a second thought.

"Boss Du, how should we punish him?"

Lu Cheng and Liu Yijing felt that since their commander had been stripped of his rank, their two deputy commanders would surely suffer the same fate.

"We didn't punish you."

Du Xue smiled. He was happy to have two good brothers to share the burden, but he wouldn't let them suffer with him.

"Boss Du, didn't we agree to shoulder this together?"

Lu Cheng and Liu Yijing immediately understood that Du Xue had taken all the responsibility upon himself; otherwise, they would not have escaped punishment.

"I'm the commander-in-chief. If there's anything, come at me. How can I let you two really come together? Besides, I'm no longer Ma Shiyi's commander. From now on, Ma Shiyi will be in your hands."

Du Xue said to the two of them.

"Boss Du!"

Lu Cheng and Liu Yijing both had tears in their eyes.

"Hey, Commander Du, why don't you take a look at the second letter?"

The scout looked at the three of them and scratched his head helplessly.

I always say we should put all the messages in one email, otherwise we'll make a fool of ourselves.

"This should be punishment for both of us, right?"

Lu Cheng took the envelope from Du Xue and opened it first.

"The Suanni Legion? The commander of the Suanni Legion? Boss Du, you haven't been dismissed!"

After quickly glancing at the letter and seeing what was written inside, Lu Cheng immediately shouted it out!

"What? The Suanni Legion?"

Liu Yijing immediately joined in and shouted loudly as well.

"Boss Du! Really! You're still the commander! The commander of the Suanni Legion!"

“Suanni? Suanni…”

Du Xue muttered the name to himself. He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that this was the military name that Ren Yuan had given him.

"Du Xue thanks Your Highness, and thanks Your Highness for bestowing upon me a military name!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply in the direction of Liangshan to express his gratitude.

"General Du, the Prince said that the rank of the 11th Army of the Cavalry will be left vacant for future generations. All your current subordinates will rejoin the Suanni Army as reserve troops. As for whether their positions should be changed, that's up to you. Just report it to the Military Law Department later."

The scout remarked, "Your Suanni Army is truly something else. You're the only unit in the entire army to change your name and even leave your old bugle number blank."

"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Chief Inspector Pei."

Du Xue expressed his gratitude once again.

"General Du, you are too kind. By the way, the Prince also said that after you have pacified Jiangnan, you can set off directly without returning to Liangshan. You can go back to Bianjing instead, because the Prince has temporarily set up the capital in Bianjing."

When he announced this news, he stood up very straight!

Liangshan is a good place; it's where everyone worked hard.

However, once the world is pacified, Liangshan will no longer be suitable as the center of power. But everything here will be protected and will become a royal sanctuary.

They came with hope.

Now they are leaving, but they are leaving victorious, with expectations for a better future! Not slinking away in disgrace!

"Let's go to Bianjing!"

Du Xue couldn't help but nod. "Great! Bianjing is great! Although it's only a temporary capital, it's enough to show that the world is now in great benefit!"

"Yes, and General, the Prince said you'd better hurry up, because Chief Commander Pei is waiting to see the Prince punish you with military rods. If you're late, the rods might be increased."

The scout said, "Commander Du, you'd better hurry!"

"Alright, I'll return to Bianjing immediately. Old Lu, Old Liu, I'll leave the Suanni Army to you for now. After the Jiangnan region is pacified, we'll continue south. Brother Zan Tongmei's troops are also here; if you have any problems, contact him."

"Don't worry, Boss Du! We're fine!"

Lu Cheng and Liu Yijing said there was absolutely no problem, and Du Xue could just go back home safely this time.

……

"Can't bear to leave?"

At the top of Liangshan Mountain, Ren Yuan stood in a pavilion, looking down at the entire mountain stronghold. Shi Qian stood to one side, while Lü Fang and Guo Sheng guarded outside the pavilion. No one disturbed him.

Ren Yuan looked at the entire Liangshan Mountain and felt deeply moved.

After several years of construction, this place has become his home. The three passes in front of the mountain, the military garrisons, the family compound behind the mountain, the resettlement area for the people... all were built up little by little, from nothing to something.

It was here that he rose from an ordinary sumo wrestler to become the ruler of the land, with his own brothers and his own bloodline.

It's really hard to leave now.

"Master."

Ren Yuan turned around and bowed to Zhou Tong. The only person who could come without prior notice was Zhou Tong.

"The world has just been settled, and there is still much to be done. Why are you suddenly so sentimental, putting on this demure, girlish act?"

Zhou Tong patted Ren Yuan on the back, then stood in the pavilion and looked outside.

"Third brother, do you remember what you said to me at the foot of the mountain when I came up here?"

"I remember, I said the world was corrupt and chaotic, so I will create a bright and clear world for everyone!"

Ren Yuan replied.

"Yeah, but you know what, at the time I thought you were just saying it."

Zhou Tong turned around and looked at Ren Yuan with great satisfaction.

"And you actually did it. You not only managed Liangshan very well, but you also really conquered the world."

"Having a disciple like you is enough for me in this life. I can proudly boast about it when I meet your grandmaster in the afterlife."

There was an indescribable pride in Zhou Tong's tone.

"Master, I... I have never been the ruler of the world, I... I don't know..."

Ren Yuan was interrupted by Zhou Tong before he could finish speaking.

"You've never been the lord of a mountain before, but you still did a pretty good job, didn't you?"

"I don't know how to be a ruler, but I believe in my disciple. I believe that if he stays true to himself, he will surely achieve good results."

Looking into Zhou Tong's eyes, Ren Yuan's resolve suddenly strengthened.

“Master, you must live for several more decades so that you can remind me in time if I make a mistake.”

"If I live too long, won't I become a tortoise?"

Zhou Tong patted Ren Yuan, his expression showing some disdain, but his concern was undeniable.

"When you lose your way, go back to Liangshan. Your original aspirations are here. Third brother, if you don't lose your original aspirations, you will be a good emperor..."
