Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Senior brother, hitting someone on the head will make them stupid!"

Yue Fei covered his head and said to Ren Yuan.

"Master, my junior brother said that hitting people will make you stupid!"

Ren Yuan patted his back and said to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong ignored Ren Yuan, that clown, and continued looking at the other members of the Liangshan camp. And what he saw next was that he recognized several of them.

"You are Yang Zhi, right? From Tianbo Mansion."

"Yang Zhi greets Hero Zhou!"

Yang Zhi was also very excited.

"Not bad, you haven't disgraced your ancestors, but remember, some things can't be kept in your heart forever, otherwise they will become stumbling blocks to your progress."

Zhou Tong gently pointed out a clue to Yang Zhi. He knew, of course, that Yang Zhi's lifelong ambition was to revive the Tianbo Mansion, and that this matter had become Yang Zhi's inner demon.

Yang Zhi will remember this.

"Xu Ning from the Imperial Golden Spear Squad?" Besides Yang Zhi, Zhou Tong also recognized Xu Ning.

"Greetings, Master Zhou!"

Xu Ning also came out to greet Zhou Tong.

"You are right to be moderate and balanced, but sometimes you have to fight for what you deserve. You have to know that if you don't move forward, you will fall behind."

Xu Ning is a very family-oriented person, so he's been mostly training troops or patrolling the mountains for a long time, and hasn't been away from home for long. If it weren't for Zhang Qing and his men making contributions, who knows when the Second Regiment of the Ma Army would have been able to win the battalion flag.

Xu Ning will keep in mind Master Zhou's teachings.

"The Qin family boy from Kaizhou behind the mountain? You're here too?"

"Hello, Instructor Zhou."

"You're pretty good, kid, but remember, too much rigidity leads to breakage. Sometimes you need to save some strength for your own protection, understand?"

Qin Ming's style emphasizes force and ferocity, but sometimes he is too forceful and fails to conserve his strength for self-preservation. As the saying goes, once is enough, twice is too much, and a third time is too little. If Qin Ming can better control his power output, he will be close to reaching a higher level.

"Qin Ming will remember this!"

It's not surprising that Zhou Tong could recognize these people, because firstly, they were old enough, and secondly, their families had been military officers for generations. When Zhou Tong was still at the Imperial Guard's boxing school, he had met their elders and the younger ones once.

As for the others, there's nothing I can do to offer guidance for now.

“Master, could you please go up the mountain first, choose a place to stay, and then give individual instruction to each person? Don’t worry, I can’t speak for everything else in my village, but there are definitely many people who practice martial arts. Master, you can instruct whomever you want in the future! Is that alright?”

Seeing Zhou Tong's posture of pointing and instructing each person, Ren Yuan quickly advised him to stop.

If you want to give guidance, go up the mountain to give guidance. Otherwise, what kind of order is it if a bunch of people are blocking the mountainside?

“That makes sense, Pihou. You’ve done a really good job on this. Martial arts practitioners don’t have much status in the Song Dynasty. It’s impressive that you’ve managed to unite so many people and value them.”

"I'll take that as a compliment, okay?"

"Yes, you can be proud this time, I'm praising you."

"Master, tonight I'll have my wife cook some good dishes. My father-in-law is here too, let's have a good get-together at my house tonight."

Lin Chong and Zhou Tong hadn't seen each other for far too long, and this time he was determined to have a good talk with his master.

"Sure, how's Old Zhang? How's his health?"

Zhou Tong certainly knew Lin Chong's father-in-law, Instructor Zhang; back then, he was the one who personally went to Instructor Zhang to present the betrothal gifts.

"Lord Taishan is doing well. I imagine he'll be very happy to see you, Master! He even said he wants to play chess with you!"

"Hey, that's not necessarily true. Let me tell you, your father-in-law was notoriously cunning back in the day. He could take back several moves in a game of chess, and he was incredibly shameless..."

"Master, let's go quickly. You can talk to Instructor Zhang face to face when you meet him later..."

When Ren Yuan heard this, he thought, "Good heavens, is this something that everyone should listen to?" They knew that Coach Zhang was a perfect "father" role model in their eyes, but they never expected that he would be such a terrible chess player!

"Senior brother, you can take back your moves too!"

Yue Fei quietly approached Ren Yuan from behind and gently kicked him.

"Junior brother, you're really asking for it! You're asking for a beating!"

"Hahahaha!"

……

Putting aside the excitement on Liangshan, in the camp of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, where a large banner with the character "Tong" was erected, a man was reading a battle report.

"My lord, a letter has arrived from Grand Commandant Gao in the capital."

A soldier came with a letter to report.

"Gao Qiu, what does he want with me? Let me see it."

The man looked up. He was indeed strong and muscular, with a sturdy build. His only flaw was that he didn't have much of a beard, so he habitually carried some fake beards to make him look more imposing.

This man was none other than Tong Guan, one of the top leaders of the Western Army and a powerful eunuch.

"Want him? Gao Qiu, how dare he?"

After reading Gao Qiu's letter, Tong Guan scoffed at it.

Although neither of them had a good reputation, Tong Guan was someone who actually fought against the Western Xia. What was Gao Qiu compared to him, who had now become a Grand Commandant?

Having become a Grand Commandant is one thing, but now you want to ask me for people? You think you're so great?

"My lord, what does Grand Commandant Gao mean?"

“One of his brothers, Gao Lian, said he was going to take up a post in Gaotang Prefecture and was worried that he wouldn’t be able to control the local people. He wanted me to transfer some good soldiers from the Western Army to him.”

"Are you kidding me? What does he think the Western Army is? Someone he can just move around like that? Who gave him that confidence?"

Tong Guan himself had been in the Western Army for so long, and he was too busy snatching people from the Zhong and Zhe families. How could he possibly give away the talents of the Western Army to others?

"My lord, but he is, after all, the Grand Commandant. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if we gave him nothing?"

When his trusted subordinates saw Tong Guan's expression, they knew that their master looked down on Grand Commandant Gao.

But there's nothing we can do. After all, he's the Grand Commandant. Although my own master is one of the most powerful figures in the Western Army, and I've heard that he'll become the Privy Councilor after returning to the capital, he hasn't done so yet!

“Give him face and call him Grand Commandant Gao; if you don’t, he’s just a scoundrel.”

Tong Guan read Gao Qiu's letter and then asked his subordinates.

What would you do if you were in that situation?

His subordinates were also in a dilemma, but he quickly came up with a plan after a quick glance.

"My lord, there are quite a few disobedient fools in our Western Army, and recently quite a few have caused trouble. Why don't you just hand them over to Grand Commandant Gao? That way we'll have them handed over, and even if something goes wrong, it won't be our problem."

"Besides, sending those troublemakers away will save you from seeing them and having to deal with them, sir. It's a win-win situation, isn't it!"

"Wow, you're a real talent!"

Tong Guan thought it made sense and thought it was a good idea!

Throw the people you don't like at Gao Qiu and let him worry about them!

"Then tell me, should we just throw those people over there?"

"My lord, recently there's been a guy in our Western Army named Po Hanwu. That guy's a real troublemaker. I think it would be perfect to hand him over to Gao Qiu!"

After thinking for a moment, his subordinates gave Tong Guan a name.

"Hmm, I do remember him. He's definitely a troublemaker. Okay, then let's do it this way. Let this troublemaker pack his bags and get out of here!"
