Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Oh!"

"Stop arguing!"

Chao Gai flew into a rage, first slamming his hand on the table, then drawing his long sword from his waist and splitting a chair in two!

"I am the chieftain of Qingfeng Mountain! My word is law! Anyone who dares to make a sound will suffer the same fate as this chair!"

This was a rare instance of Chao Gai losing his temper; many people were truly seeing him angry for the first time, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.

Even a local strongman like Mu Hong wisely chose to remain silent after seeing Chao Gai's great anger.

Chao Gai stared at everyone, and no one present dared to meet his gaze.

After everyone quieted down, Chao Gai slowly began to speak:

"We're all brothers! We eat from the same pot! What's all the fuss about? Won't people laugh at us if word gets out?"

"Gongming is my brother. We've known each other since we were kids. How could I not save him?"

Chao Gai confronted Mu Hong and the others first, because they were the ones who had started the trouble earlier!

"Well, who knows?"

The Flying Centipede King Daoist couldn't help but mutter something.

"Master Wang! What did you say? Speak up!"

Chao Gai's voice suddenly rose another eight octaves, and it was directed directly at Wang Daoren!

When Wang Daoren was called out, he was startled. He looked around and saw that no one was looking at him. It seemed that no one would speak up for him, so he decided to back down for now.

"No, it's nothing, chieftain, please continue. I didn't say anything just now."

Wang Daoren was a pragmatic person, and immediately chose not to confront Chao Gai directly. Of course, he definitely kept this matter in mind.

“I know that Brother Song Jiang has made great contributions to the stronghold, so if something happens to him, our stronghold cannot sit idly by!”

"We all know Jiangzhou is a tough place to take! But I'm still here to fight! Why? Because I, Chao Gai, am a true friend! As long as he's my brother, I'll never treat him unfairly!"

"As for the issue of Gongming's ranking, it was Gongming's own choice. He didn't say much about it, so why are you all so concerned?"

Chao Gai's words were clearly meant for Song Jiang's confidants, and after hearing them say that, they dared not say anything more.

"We're just worried that you, Chieftain, might be misled..."

Qiu Xiaoyi couldn't help but mutter.

Am I the kind of person who is easily deceived?

Chao Gai directly retorted with the question, and Qiu Xiaoyi, unable to answer, could only shut up.

"Let me tell you guys something!"

After Song Jiang and his group shut up, Chao Gai turned to look at the people in this direction.

These were all old men who had followed him from the "birthday tribute" incident. Logically speaking, they had no need to compete for favor with the newcomers, because they had been through many things with Chao Gai.

But their performance today was so subpar!

"Don't be so petty! So what if we failed to capture Jiangzhou? Haven't we suffered even worse defeats? Jiangzhou was actually exactly the same as what happened with my birthday tribute mission. There were many difficulties, but didn't we overcome them in the end? Although the result wasn't great, the brothers worked together. Isn't that enough?"

"And about saving Gongming! Isn't Gongming one of our Qingfeng Mountain people? If so, he's one of your brothers! Why do you have such a big problem with him?"

"They're all elderly folks from the mountains, can't you be a little more tolerant!"

“But the village head…” Wu Yong was about to say something when Chao Gai interrupted him!

"Scholar! You are my friend! Gongming is too! I can't possibly turn against one of you because of what one of you says! That would be unfair!"

"Besides, don't you compare yourself to Chen Ping? With you here, would you just watch me lose power and do nothing?"

Wu Yong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Chao Gai, oh Chao Gai, you're such a headache!

"Now, I've decided that we'll make one last assault on Jiangzhou City! Anyone willing to come with me, raise your hand!"

Chao Gai was the first to raise his hand, and then Song Jiang's men followed suit.

"Alright, that's enough! Military Advisor Wu, hold the fortress. We'll split up. I'll take half the men to attack the city. Whether we can take it or not, I'll go! And we'll only attack for one day! I'll definitely be back before dark!"

"If we take it, we'll rescue the people and then break out. If we can't take it, we'll break out directly!"

"In case our attacking force is wiped out, and I don't return either, strategist, you will take my token and, as the new master of Qingfeng Mountain, command all the brothers of Qingfeng Village to break through the siege!"

Chao Gai's words sounded like he was making his final arrangements, or rather, he was indeed making his final arrangements.

But this arrangement left both sides speechless.

If the chief has said that, what else can they say?

"Baozheng, take care."

Wu Yong took the token, turned his back, and realized he really didn't want Chao Gai to attack the city again. He thought it best to break out now!

But Chao Gai was determined, and he could no longer persuade him.

It can be said that the Chao Gai he just saw was the most charismatic Chao Gai he had ever seen in all his time at Qingfeng Mountain!

"Come on, follow me to rescue Brother Gongming!"

Chao Gai bowed slightly to Wu Yong's retreating figure before leaving the tent first.

Behind them, Mu Hong and the others followed closely.

They had to save Song Jiang because he had promised them that he would help them become high-ranking officials in the future!

If Song Jiang were gone, their dreams of becoming high-ranking officials would also be shattered!

"Strategist, then we..."

Hong Li has an arrow wound in his shoulder, which is still bandaged.

"Pack your things, gather the rest of us together, and if the village head hasn't returned by nightfall, we'll break out!"

Wu Yong also issued the order.

"Strategist, why don't we wait another half day? Didn't Brother Liu Tang go to fetch reinforcements? We may not trust Liangshan, but we must trust Brother Liu Tang!"

Han Bolong was also trying to persuade Wu Yong.

"Do you really think I just want to break through?"

Wu Yong glared at them.

"Let's gather everyone first. If the village head doesn't return after dark, we can go and rescue him once we've all come together!"

"As for Liu Tang, I actually don't want him to come back."

Even if Qingfeng Mountain perishes here today, Liu Tang is still here, and he can leave a seed for Qingfeng Mountain!

"But what if even he's gone? Then Qingfeng Mountain will truly be left with no one!"

Wu Yong revealed his true feelings: he didn't really care about Liangshan. If they came, he would shamelessly owe them another favor.

As for Yang Zhi, I'll just pay for it with my own life.

Even if he can't come, Wu Yong will die a glorious death on the battlefield!

Don't think that Wu Yong is only good at scheming; he can also wield swords and spears!

As for Song Jiang, who caused Qingfeng Mountain to be in such a miserable state!

Damn it! I'll settle this score with you in my next life!

……

At this time, Liu Tang was on his way to Jiangzhou with the Liangshan army!

Liangshan was very loyal to its people. After Yang Zhi forgave Liu Tang, Ren Yuan immediately sent troops to join the fight!

And the number was quite large, a total of five regiments! They really gave Qingfeng Mountain a lot of face!

As Liu Tang rode on horseback, gazing in the direction of Jiangzhou, he kept repeating to himself:

Brothers, hold on! I, Liu Tang, am here!
