Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Senior brother, but I really want to go north! If you don't agree, I'll go find Master!"

Yue Fei said that seeing so many of his brothers achieve such great feats made him really envious!

"Go ahead, I don't believe Master will let you go."

Ren Yuan crossed his arms and looked indifferent. He had already discussed this matter with Zhou Tong and would not let Yue Fei go to the battlefield too early.

"Senior brother, I know you mean well, but as the old saying goes, 'Jade that is not carved cannot become a useful object.' If you don't let me go to the battlefield, how can I grow and improve?"

Yue Fei said this with great conviction.

"Oh ho, so you all know that jade that isn't carved can't become a useful object? What about the second half of that saying?"

Ren Yuan laughed and said, "Well, you've even read the Book of Rites."

The second half of the saying is, "If people don't learn, they won't know."

Although Yue Fei did not understand what this meant, he still answered his senior brother's question honestly.

As for Yang Zaixing, he didn't say a word, just watched Yue Fei's performance with anticipation in his eyes. He knew that as long as Yue Fei performed well, they could go to the battlefield!

"You know it's because people don't study."

Ren Yuan stretched out a finger and poked Yue Fei's forehead.

"So, do you feel like you've learned everything now? Do you think you can survive on the battlefield?"

Ren Yuan asked the crucial question directly, which surprised Yue Fei.

"I……"

"Junior brother, the battlefield is not a training ground."

Ren Yuan patted Yue Fei on the shoulder and said earnestly.

“You are naturally invincible in the training ground. You can easily take on ten or a hundred opponents.”

"But the battlefield is different. Enemies are on all sides, and your life could be in danger if you're not careful. Do you really think you're prepared?"

"I can do it!"

Yue Fei didn't hesitate much. He puffed out his chest and shouted loudly!

"Senior brother! I'm not a child anymore! Just like you said, the battlefield is dangerous, and we have to learn to adapt. But if I keep hiding behind you, how will I grow?"

"Moreover, I've already heard from Military Advisor Xu that we won't actually launch an attack in the north this time. It's just a deterrent, and there will be small-scale attacks. This situation is particularly suitable for training troops. Senior brother, if you won't let me go for this, how can you trust me to go to the big battlefield in the future?"

"I'm destined to be the Marquis of Champion! I don't want to become a mere armchair strategist like Zhao Kuo! Senior brother! Please let me go!"

Yue Fei spoke a series of resolute words, making it very clear that he was going to the battlefield!

"Zhao Kuo?"

Ren Yuan looked at his junior brother and was truly moved. Good lad, he's finally growing up! It's no wonder he's spoiled him all this time!

"Junior brother, I have something to tell you. Later generations only know Zhao Kuo as a strategist who only talked about war on paper, but do you know who Zhao Kuo's opponent was?"

"Of course I know, it's the one you often talk about, Senior Brother, the Warring States God of Slaughter, Bai Qi."

Yue Fei said that he has read a lot of history books and learned a lot of military strategies and knowledge. How could he not know these famous military figures?

"Yes, Bai Qi had been in the industry for many years and was very famous. Zhao Kuo was just a novice who had just learned the ropes. He was facing an opponent of Bai Qi's caliber right from the start. Do you think that's fair?"

"This……"

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment. Wasn't that how it was recorded in the historical records? Why did it seem like his senior brother disagreed?

"Of course it's unfair! Just like making me beat Master Lu right now, that's unfair too!"

Yue Fei remained silent. Yang Zaixing grew anxious, fearing that if Yue Fei didn't speak soon, they wouldn't have a chance to go to the battlefield, so he quickly rushed to answer.

"Yes, Zaixing, this is unfair, but that's how war is! There's no absolute fairness! If you want fairness, do you think the enemy will give you fairness?"

Ren Yuan looked at Yang Zaixing. If war were fair, there wouldn't have been so many arrows in this man's corpse in his previous life!

"Just like back then, my master, my two senior brothers, and I faced off against the four masters and disciples of the Jin dynasty. My opponent was just like you, a young man who rose to fame at a young age and went into battle as a child. Perhaps he could beat others without any problem, but when he met me, he could only suffer a crushing defeat. Do you think that's unfair?"

Ren Yuan was referring to Lian'er Xinshan. She was badly beaten by Ren Yuan on the battlefield, but before meeting Ren Yuan, Lian'er Xinshan was still able to move freely on the battlefield.

"Neither of you is at your peak physical or technical level. Sending you to the battlefield now would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow!"

"When Zhao Kuo fought Bai Qi for the first time, he was able to hold out for 46 days even with his supply lines cut off. If Zhao Kuo had been trained under Lian Po for two years, he might have been able to at least draw with Bai Qi, if not defeat him."

Ren Yuan's words silenced Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing. They were not people who couldn't understand reason, but what Ren Yuan said was reasonable and hard to refute!

"Don't be sad, you two. If you were 16 now, let me tell you, even if you don't go, I'll force you to go! But right now, you still need to learn more! Behave yourselves and practice with the others!"

Ren Yuan comforted the two little ones, and although the effect was not great, it was still a form of comfort.

"Yes, senior brother."

After thinking for a long time, Yue Fei gritted his teeth and decided to listen to his senior brother.

"But..."

Seeing that Yue Fei had calmed down, Ren Yuan suddenly changed the subject, telling the two children to raise their heads again.

"Senior brother, but what is it?"

"Your Highness, but what is it?"

"However, Sun An is going to the north this time. I trust Sun An to handle things. Moreover, he is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also an excellent commander. If you can learn from him, that would be a good thing."

Ren Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, but he could no longer suppress the smile on his lips.

"Senior brother, you mean..."

Incredulity was evident in Yue Fei's eyes.

No way, didn't my senior brother just say he wouldn't let me go to the battlefield?

"You still won't be going to the front lines. This time, you two will be soldiers under Sun An. You won't be called Yue Fei, and he won't be called Yang Zaixing. Your mission is to study hard under Sun An. You can't fight on the battlefield. Even if you do fight, I won't award you any merits. Is that alright?"

"We can't fight?"

Yang Zaixing was initially eager to try, but upon hearing this, he suddenly lost interest.

It would be too painful to arrive on the battlefield and not be able to fight!

"Yes, yes! Senior brother! We're willing to serve under Brother Sun An!"

Yue Fei quickly grabbed Yang Zaixing and winked at him, meaning, "Are you stupid? Agree to it now, and when you get to the battlefield, the emperor will be far away, and they can do whatever they want."

"Don't think that just because the emperor is far away, I can't control you once you get there."

Ren Yuan looked at Yue Fei's appearance and sneered.

"I will tell Sun An to keep an eye on you two. If either of you tries to sneak off to the battlefield, I'll have him break your legs!"

"Of course, if the two of you are capable of defeating Sun An, who is ranked third in the world, then I can't stop you from doing whatever you want..."
