Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Thanks to Sun Li's persistent requests, his problem of going up the mountain was also resolved.

Since Yang Zhi and his group hadn't set off yet, adding Sun Li would be a great boost to their numbers.

After all, the original plan was only to send Yang Zhi's cavalry regiment and Ou Peng's Kunpeng naval marine regiment. Now, with the addition of Sun Li's infantry regiment, the three armies are now fully equipped!

"Shi Qian!"

"elder brother!"

Upon being summoned by Ren Yuan, Shi Qian immediately entered from outside the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

"Is there a problem with you going to Dengzhou in person to pick up the families of the Sun brothers, Sun Li and Sun Xin?"

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Shi Qian patted his chest confidently; things weren't too bad for him.

"Alright, then you take charge of this matter first. As for Gao Lian, don't bother with him for now. Pick a day and have Instructor Lin and the others personally dismember him and cut off his head. You then personally deliver the head to Gao Qiu's residence."

Ren Yuan said to Shi Qian.

"Let's consider it a gift from Liangshan to Gao Qiu!"

"Brother, I'm afraid Gao Qiu won't be able to accept such a generous gift."

Shi Qian chuckled; clearly, Ren Yuan's idea pleased him greatly.

"Can't accept it? You have to accept it even if you can't. Have you given him any face?"

Ren Yuan sneered. Gao Qiu had grudges against most of the leaders of Liangshan. If he was given his brother's head as a gift, he would have to accept it whether he wanted it or not!

"Brother, you're so impressive! Then I'll immediately lead men to Dengzhou to fetch Commander Sun's family!"

Shi Qian gave Ren Yuan a thumbs up; he loved his older brother's fearless spirit.

"Sun Li, thank you, brother!"

Sun Li bowed down to Ren Yuan. He had learned in the past two days that Shi Qian, the commander of Liangshan's Tianmu Camp, held a very high position on Liangshan. Only major missions or missions personally assigned by Ren Yuan could get him to take action.

“We’re all brothers, no need to be so polite. Here’s what we’ll do, Brother Sun Li, come with me to the northeast pass again. We’re going to pick up another person.”

Ren Yuan helped Sun Li up and then said to him.

Since you, Sun Li, also want to make a name for yourself, will you accept this credit or not?

"Could it be General Huyan of Qingzhou?"

Sun Li, who had been in Liangshan for the past few days, knew that the Qingzhou army was stationed at the northeast pass of Liangshan, and that there had been no major conflict in Liangshan. Every day, Huyan Zhuo and Yuan Lang would challenge each other to battle.

These two would fight for 140 to 150 rounds each time, and each time it would be a draw!

Every time they sparred, many leaders would drop what they were doing to watch, and several strategists also went to see!

"Yes, that's him."

Ren Yuan nodded. This time, the troops sent from Qingzhou and Dengzhou to Liangshan were really all bark and no bite.

As for Dengzhou, well, some have surrendered, and others have resigned; there's no one left.

In Qingzhou, the two thousand iron cavalry are now just for show, staying in the camp all day without coming out. Only a small number of them will accompany Huyan Zhuo into battle to practice against Yuan Lang's ever-victorious army.

The rest of us can treat this as a winter trip to Liangshan, and Liangshan even provides meals every day! Most importantly, there's plenty of food!

……

"It's the third day, and there's still no winner."

Watching the two locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, Liangshan strategist Xiao Jiahui couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Huyan family and Liangshan are allies, but they are not exactly one family. Therefore, Yuan Lang and Huyan Zhuo each bear their own missions.

Yuan Lang hoped to defeat Huyan Zhuo and then force him to surrender to Liangshan.

Huyan Zhuo, on the other hand, wanted to protect the reputation of his Huyan family. Even if he went up the mountain, he had to be invited by someone!

So neither of them was willing to give in, which made the struggle difficult to resolve.

“Actually, Yuan Lang doesn’t necessarily have to win. Given the current situation, I think Huyan Zhuo should probably head up the mountain.”

Excluding Zhou Tong, Sun An, who is currently the strongest fighter in Liangshan and the first person in Liangshan to wield two weapons, also came to this northeastern pass to watch the battle.

"Brother Sun An, who do you think will win?"

Today, the online trolls had no assignments, so Ruan Xiaoqi wandered over to watch the fun.

"They won't be able to determine a winner until they've fought more than three hundred rounds."

Sun An has been recuperating in the mountain stronghold during this time. After all, after his battle with Du Xue, he has become one of the strongest top masters in the Song Dynasty's outlaw world.

But in that battle, he clashed head-on with Du Xue, and the scene was quite brutal. He also suffered some internal injuries. Fortunately, there were two divine doctors in the village, An Daoquan and Wei Hua, who worked together to cure all of Sun An's old ailments and restore his health.

"No wonder. But judging from Hu Yanzhuo's family martial arts skills, among the dual-wielding generals on our side, besides Brother Sun An and Yuan Lang, only Wu Dutou should be able to match him."

Ruan Xiaoqi is a master in the water, but her skill level is only average when she's on land.

But watching Ren Yuan and others perform martial arts every day, my appreciation level improved over time.

"It took us about seventy moves, mainly because he was too good at defending. Otherwise, it could have been even faster."

Sun An spoke highly of Huyan Zhuo's defensive capabilities.

In his opinion, if Hu Yanzhuo's whip technique hadn't had so few offensive elements, Hu Yanzhuo would definitely be on the same level as Instructor Lin, which is what everyone calls a half-step master.

But now, it's perfectly reasonable to say that Huyan Zhuo is a top-tier expert.

"Brother is here!"

Just as everyone was watching the two fight, Ren Yuan arrived with Sun Li.

"Brother! Congratulations on your triumphant return! Is everything going well with the Master?"

Upon seeing Ren Yuan, everyone immediately gathered around him, and even Yuan Lang, who was engaged in battle, stopped fighting.

"It went smoothly. In Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Lian was captured alive and brought back to Liangshan. Master Chai is alright; although he was seriously injured, he was rescued."

Ren Yuan gave each of his brothers a bear hug, then looked at Hu Yanzhuo.

"General Huyan, I have long heard of your great name from General Huyan. Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved. You are truly the number one whip master in three generations of the Huyan family!"

"Is he Ren Yuan?"

Seeing this tall, imposing man, Huyan Zhuo inwardly cheered.

Sure enough, to be chosen by her grandfather, she must have some talent.

"Chief Ren, what are your plans for dealing with us next? My two thousand brothers have been stationed here for three days now. They're getting tired of it!"

"Hahaha, Commander Huyan, if you get tired of living at the pass, you're welcome to come and live on the mountain! We Liangshan may not have much else, but we have plenty of mountains. You can change your camp every day without any problem!"

Ren Yuan laughed heartily and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hu Yanzhuo.

"Chief Ren, I'll go up the mountain, but you'll have to beat me with these steel whips I've been holding for the past two days. Chief Yuan and I have been fighting for three days and we still haven't decided who's the winner. Otherwise, Chief Ren, could you find someone else?"

Huyan Zhuo slashed his double whips together, producing a crisp sound.

"Brother, I've just joined Liangshan, can you let me give it a try?"

Just as Ren Yuan was about to say something, Sun Li, who was standing next to him, spoke up first.

"can."

Although Ren Yuan knew that Sun Li was probably no match for Hu Yanzhuo, he would never do anything to undermine someone's confidence.

After all, Sun Li's skill level is undeniable, and it's impossible for Huyan Zhuo to defeat him quickly. In addition, he just fought dozens of rounds with Yuan Lang, so it's likely to end in a draw again!

"Let's see who's stronger, the single whip or the double whip!"
