Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Drive! Drive!"

Yue Fei rode his warhorse swiftly towards the main camp.

He was also very excited. It had been three years since he had stayed at the border and hadn't seen his fellow disciples for a long time!

But today, all three of his senior brothers came! And they wanted to see him right away, how could he not be excited?

Who goes there?

Lu Fang was leading a patrol when he saw warhorses charging straight toward the main tent and immediately asked what was going on.

"Brother Lü Fang, it's me! Yue Fei!"

Yue Fei reined in his horse. Lü Fang was his senior brother's personal guard, so it seemed he had arrived!

"It's Pengju! Come in quickly, your brothers are all waiting for you!"

Lu Fang naturally knew that Ren Yuan wanted to have a good get-together with his fellow disciples tonight, so after confirming that it was Yue Fei, he took the initiative to invite Yue Fei into the main tent.

"Thank you so much, Brother Lü Fang!"

Yue Fei immediately jumped off his horse and rushed towards the main tent.

"Senior brother! Senior brother!"

When Yue Fei flung open the tent flap and rushed inside, he saw three tall figures standing with their backs to him in front of the map.

"Junior brother, you've grown taller."

Upon hearing the commotion, Ren Yuan and the other two turned around simultaneously. Ren Yuan looked at Yue Fei, who was now clearly grown up and clad in armor, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Junior brother! Hahaha, not bad at all, you're almost catching up with your senior brother!"

Lu Junyi stepped forward, patted Yue Fei on the shoulder, and laughed heartily.

“My junior brother has indeed made a lot of progress in these three years.”

Lin Chong also had a smile on his face. He hadn't seen Yue Fei for three years, and as the senior brother, he missed him very much.

"He's lost weight, gotten darker, but gotten stronger."

Ren Yuan walked up to Yue Fei, gently punched Yue Fei in the chest, and smiled as well.

"Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother!"

Yue Fei's eyes reddened. He went up to hug his fellow disciples one by one, and when he hugged Ren Yuan, he felt his whole body trembling.

"Why are you crying? You're an adult now, why are you still acting like a child?"

Ren Yuan patted Yue Fei on the back to comfort him.

"Senior brothers, I miss you all so much!"

During his three years in the northern frontier, Yue Fei grew from an innocent boy into a capable young man. He thought he had tempered his will to be strong enough, but he still lost his composure in front of his senior brother.

"Junior Brother, we all know about your raid on the camp with three hundred men. You're amazing! At your age, your second senior brother doesn't have that kind of ability!"

Lu Junyi lavished praise on his junior brother, declaring him to be the best!

"That's right! Master was overjoyed for days after hearing about it. Junior Brother, you'll be more capable than any of us sooner or later!"

Lin Chong didn't stop praising him either, saying they were very honored to have such a capable junior brother!

"Alright, you're already the commander of an army, what kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing?"

Ren Yuan patted Yue Fei's shoulder and arm to calm him down.

"Come, sit down and tell your senior brothers about what's happened on the border these past few years."

"Yes!"

The four brothers sat down at the table, and Yue Fei told them about everything that had happened in the past three years, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Although he knew that his fellow disciples probably already knew many of these things, he still wanted to tell them in person!

"Our junior brother is really something now!"

As they listened to Yue Fei's report, the smiles on Ren Yuan and the other two never stopped. They were all genuinely happy for Yue Fei's achievements.

"Junior brother, are Li Quan and Zhan Lu any good?"

Ren Yuan became interested in Yue Fei's weapons.

"It works great! Thank you so much, Senior Brother, for having Brother Tang Long forge such a divine weapon for me. With these, killing enemies has become much easier!"

"That's because you put in the effort. Divine weapons choose their masters, and in your hands, Liquan and Zhanlu will not be wasted!"

……

The four brothers chatted amiably for a while, reminiscing about the past, before Yue Fei finally asked:

"Senior brother, did you urgently send me back from the outpost for the great battle that starts tomorrow? What am I supposed to do tomorrow?"

"See? I told you so! Junior Brother will definitely be eager to ask about tomorrow's plans!"

Lu Junyi burst into laughter, looking as if I had hit the nail on the head. Lin Chong and Ren Yuan exchanged glances and then laughed as well.

“Junior brother, since you asked, I will be frank with you. The Beiwei Army’s mission is very important in tomorrow’s battle.”

"Please give the order, Senior Brother! The entire Beiwei Army swears to complete the mission to the death!"

Upon hearing that the mission was important, Yue Fei immediately perked up. These kinds of important missions were exactly what he liked best right now!

"What do you mean by 'die'? Don't say such unlucky things!"

Ren Yuan flicked Yue Fei on the forehead, then pointed to the map and said.

"In tomorrow's battle, the two hundred cannons of the Divine Machine Legion are of paramount importance. That will be our artillery position, and these two hundred cannons will launch an attack before the battle begins!"

"Your mission is to protect the brothers of the Divine Machine Army and ensure the artillery is unharmed! Can you do that?"

"can!"

Yue Fei was well aware of the power of his own cannons. Over the past few years, Ling Zhen and the firearms masters of the Tiangong Academy had modified the cannons again and again, finally making them relatively common weapons.

"Remember, the artillery is very powerful, and the enemy will definitely try to sabotage it. If they come in too many numbers and you can't hold it, then ignite the shells and blow up all the cannons! Don't leave this stuff for the enemy!"

Because Dayi's artillery was constantly being improved, and the current version was not the final one, Ren Yuan felt a little heartache but could accept that dozens or hundreds of them would be destroyed.

"Senior brother, isn't it a bit of a waste to just detonate such a good cannon like that?"

"People are the most important thing."

Ren Yuan reiterated this point.

"My expectations for the Beiwei Army go far beyond what we have now. When the fighting starts tomorrow, there will be nearly a million troops on both sides, and they will be almost unable to support each other in the chaos. If the enemy sends a large number of troops to attack the artillery positions, listen carefully: I can do without the artillery, but I will withdraw as many Beiwei Army soldiers as possible!"

"Senior brother..."

Yue Fei's eyes reddened again. How could he not tell that this was his senior brother protecting him? His senior brother couldn't actually give such an order!

"Alright, hold it in. I was just talking about the worst-case scenario. Maybe no one will even go to attack the artillery positions tomorrow, right? Just remember, as long as you're alive, you can always start over!"

Ren Yuan was genuinely worried that Yue Fei might be stubborn and refuse to retreat, even at the cost of his life. If he didn't retreat, then Yang Zaixing certainly wouldn't either. If the rescue wasn't timely and everyone was wiped out, the losses would be enormous!

"Eldest brother and second brother, this time we have more than 500,000 troops and the Jin Kingdom has more than 400,000. Even if you two are capable of defeating ten thousand men, you can't guarantee that you can escape unscathed from this level of chaotic army. So don't give me any idea of ​​fighting to the death. This battle won't be over in a day or two. Take it slow!"

Ren Yuan said that he could accept being seriously injured or even disabled, but he would rather not die in the last battle before the founding of the country, that would be too much of a loss!

"Don't worry, junior brother."

Lin Chong and Lu Junyi exchanged a glance and then bowed to Ren Yuan. Clearly, they also felt their junior brother's deep love.

"Report!"

Before the fellow disciples had finished their conversation, the tent flap was suddenly lifted, and Shi Qian rushed in with a serious expression.

Shi Qian has special privileges; when he comes to see Ren Yuan, he cannot be stopped.

"What's wrong, Shi Qian?"

Ren Yuan and the others' expressions turned serious. If it could alarm Shi Qian, then it was no small matter.

"Brother, a troop of Jin soldiers has come out from the other side. Judging from the sound, it's heavy cavalry, and there are probably about 10,000 of them."

"Heavy cavalry? A night raid by heavy cavalry? So brazenly, not even bothering to hide?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat confused. What were the Jurchens trying to do? Why would heavy cavalry launch a night raid? That would be incredibly disruptive!

"Junior brother, let me go and meet them."

Lu Junyi stood up, the cold glint in his eyes impossible to conceal.

"Since you've come here looking for trouble, then don't leave!"
