Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The two Qingzhou governors fought for a full 120 rounds.

The match remained even, with Qin Ming ultimately gaining the upper hand.

“You’ve just sparred with so many brothers, and you’re not at your peak right now. I’ve also expended a lot of energy running all the way here. It would be the best outcome if we didn’t win.”

"Once we're up the mountain, we can spar whenever we have time."

Qin Ming's words made Hu Yanzhuo stop what he was doing.

Others may not know, but his arms were actually aching and numb, and he was only holding on by sheer willpower.

After all, including Qin Ming, he has already fought four top-tier martial arts masters today.

It's already quite remarkable that they've remained undefeated in four matches!

Of course, if they fought for several dozen more rounds today, Qin Ming was confident he could defeat Huyan Zhuo.

But in this way, the victory would be dishonorable.

Therefore, Qin Ming took the initiative to call a halt.

"The heroes of Liangshan truly live up to their reputation."

Huyan Zhuo put away his double whips and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Ming.

“Even if I am not strong enough today, I, Huyan Zhuo, am not someone who can’t accept defeat. I am convinced by Chief Steward Qin’s behavior today, and I concede defeat.”

"Chief Steward Huyan, we're all family, so why talk about admitting defeat? Why don't we come up the mountain and have a chat?"

Ren Yuan also rode out and came to Qin Ming's side. He was also stunned when he heard Hu Yanzhuo say this, because Hu Yanzhuo was also a person from a prominent family and was proud and arrogant. It was really not easy to get him to admit defeat.

"Chief Ren, could you find a hilltop for our Runing Heavy Cavalry on Liangshan? We have a lot of men, and we might not be able to camp in a regular place."

Hu Yanzhuo said to Ren Yuan.

"General Huyan is joking. Liangshan may not have much else, but it has plenty of mountains. You can pick whichever one you like. Besides, the old general should have a letter here soon, and he should have already sent someone to fetch your family. So there's no need to worry about that Murong brat from Qingzhou causing trouble."

Because Liangshan had reached an alliance agreement with the Huyan family, Huyan Bao, under the pretext of being seriously ill, sent people to Qingzhou to bring Huyan Zhuo's family back to Dengzhou when Huyan Zhuo went on his expedition.

Murong Yanda naturally dared not offend General Huyan, who commanded a navy of over 100,000 square kilometers. Moreover, Huyan had said he was going to fulfill his filial duties, and Murong Yanda had no way to stop him.

Therefore, having a good family background is still very important.

"Alright, Tong'er, Sheng'er, give the order to the whole army to break camp and head up the mountain."

"Yes, uncle."

Hu Yansheng and Hu Yantong also breathed a sigh of relief. These past few days, their uncle had been vying with Liangshan every day, and each time it ended in a draw. This made them feel that their uncle had been holding back his anger, and they were afraid that their uncle would break down from holding it in.

Unexpectedly, after Steward Qin arrived this time, he actually got his uncle to volunteer to go up the mountain.

Liangshan is truly teeming with talented people!

Huyan Zhuo led two thousand Runing heavy cavalry up the mountain, which naturally made everyone very happy. In addition, Sun Li also joined the mountain, and the chieftain successfully captured Gaotang Prefecture, leaving behind Chai Da Guanren and seizing a lot of supplies. It can be said that there were three happy events. So Liangshan naturally slaughtered pigs and sheep and set up a banquet tonight.

Since the Runing Heavy Armored Troops had always followed Huyan Zhuo, they had basically no objections to their commander's decision to join the Liangshan bandits. Besides, after eating the food provided by Liangshan for so many days, they had to admit that the food was more delicious and comfortable than that from Qingzhou!

Therefore, Ren Yuan immediately decided to make Huyan Zhuo the commander of the Eighth Regiment of Liangshan Cavalry, and to continue to manage the Runing Heavy Armor under his command! Moreover, Ren Yuan had already thought of the name for the Eighth Regiment: "Futu" (浮屠).

Huyan Zhuo's iron-clad linked cavalry was the same as Liangshan's Iron Pagoda!

"I need to ask Grandpa's opinion first."

Huyan Zhuo was quite tempted. Ren Yuan's decision not to take away his iron cavalry greatly increased his goodwill towards Liangshan.

However, he did not agree immediately because this matter was of great importance and he needed to discuss it with Huyan Bao.

“No problem, but no matter what the old general says, the position of the Eighth Regiment of Liangshan Cavalry belongs to you, Commander Huyan.”

Ren Yuan waved his hand, "Whether you, Huyan Zhuo, agree or not is not important. Anyway, I agree. This attitude is also for General Huyan Bao to see."

That means, look, Liangshan values ​​its allies very much. Follow Liangshan and you'll have something to eat!

"Brother Sun Li is the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment, and Brother Sun Xin is the deputy commander. If you brothers are of one mind, you can achieve great things together with Commander Yang on Jeju Island!"

Of course, it's impossible for Sun Xin's 10th Infantry Regiment to have a name right away; Hu Yanzhuo is an exception.

"We will obey your orders, brother!"

Knowing that they could expand their territory, Sun Li and Sun Xin decided to work hard at Liangshan. Sun Li, in particular, was promoted to commander without having made any contributions after joining the mountain. How could he not feel grateful for being recognized and appreciated?

"Alright, without further ado, let's begin the feast!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, everyone took their seats. Huyan Zhuo, his two nephews, and the Sun brothers were naturally the guests at this banquet. Everyone came up to pour them wine, expressing the hospitality of the mountain stronghold.

A few days later, Shi Qian, along with Sun Li and Sun Xin's families, returned to Liangshan. Because the news was well-hidden, the prefect of Dengzhou was still unaware that the Sun brothers had already gone up the mountain.

It must be said that their family was indeed large, with Madam Le, Le He, Sister-in-law Gu, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, and some confidants, bringing more than a dozen people up at once. After Sun Li and Sun Xin met with their family, they naturally expressed their deepest gratitude to Shi Qian.

"Hey, Commander, no need to thank me. We're all brothers. Just treat me to drinks next time."

Shi Qian would certainly not be arrogant about his achievements. Nowadays, Shi Qian rarely takes action, but he would not hesitate to help his brothers and their families.

"Brother Shiqian, what are you saying? Just wait, after we take Jeju Island for Brother Renyuan, you can come anytime, and there will be plenty of food and drink!"

Sun Xin was better at speaking than Sun Li. When his brother didn't know how to express his gratitude, Sun Xin took the initiative to stand up and express his thanks.

"Yes, Brother Shi Qian, if you ever need my help in the future, just say the word. I, Sun Li, will go through fire and water for you without batting an eye."

"I've heard so much about how great Liangshan is, but I've never had the chance to come up and see for myself. Today, seeing this huge marshland at the foot of the mountain and all the people I saw on my way up, I finally understand just how popular Liangshan really is!"

With Sun Li and Sun Xin gone, Sister-in-law Gu was the soul of the Dengzhou faction. She took care of everyone along the way, but after going up the mountain, she was filled with emotion.

"By the way, honey, where's your hair?"

Sun Xin's bald head was quite eye-catching; even though he wrapped it in a headscarf, you could still tell he was bald.

"Sister-in-law, my brother Sun Xin is something else!"

Ren Yuan also personally came down to meet Sun Li and Sun Xin's family. Upon hearing Gu Dasao's question, he immediately told Gu Dasao about Sun Xin's glorious deed of shaving his head in place of the leader.

"How was it, honey? Did I embarrass you?"

Sun Xin was very proud of being praised by the chief, and he puffed out his chest in front of his wife!

"Hey, it really is! This is the man I, Gu Qiuyue, truly am!"

Sister-in-law Gu was also very proud of Sun Xin, especially after learning that her husband and her uncle were now jointly commanding a legion and preparing to go to war soon. She even made a pledge to Ren Yuan on Sun Xin's behalf.

"Rest assured, Chieftain, my husband is a man of his word and will certainly not let you down!"

"Of course, of course I trust them!"

Ren Yuan and the others were chatting and laughing when suddenly a junior officer came running up to Ren Yuan and said:

"Report! Chieftain! Master Chai has woken up and wants to see you!"
