Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Let's turn back the clock a few days.

An endless sea.

A fleet that had been at sea for two or three days was striving to brave the wind and waves.

They were the troops from Liangshan who were on their expedition to Jeju Island.

Yang Zhi was the commander-in-chief, and Xu Guanzhong was the strategist. Under his command were the Sixth Cavalry Battalion, the Tenth Infantry Battalion, the Kunpeng Naval Battalion, the Fifth Naval Battalion, and four Pinghai Naval Battalions, plus the Engineering Battalion, the Sky Curtain Battalion, and other logistics units.

This fleet has more than 10,000 people.

This is the first time Liangshan has mobilized so many people to go to sea.

This was also the first time they had sent troops to attack a foreign tribe.

Yang Zhi stood at the bow of the boat, looking ahead with a serious expression.

The markings on the nautical chart should be correct, so the direction of travel is definitely right. It's just a matter of how long it will take before they can see their destination.

"Your Excellency, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Guanzhong walked up to Yang Zhi and asked.

"Strategist, this time, you'd better give me a lot of help."

Yang Zhi looked solemn.

"After all, this is Liangshan's first time going to sea to fight, what if..."

“Your Excellency, there is no chance of anything going wrong. It’s just a small Jeju Island. Your Excellency has nothing to worry about.”

Xu Guanzhong comforted Yang Zhi, knowing that Yang Zhi had a heavy heart and was prone to this old problem sometimes.

So he started chatting with Yang Zhi.

"I think my brother named Jeju Island. I've read books from Korea, and they call that island Tamna."

"Legend has it that when Xu Fu led a group of young boys and girls on a sea voyage, they passed by this place and left some sick people behind. Over time, the island was inhabited by local people."

"Later, more and more natives lived here and they built their own country called Tamna. Later, the Goryeo people also noticed them and forcibly occupied their country, turning it into Tamna County of Goryeo."

"Those soldiers up there should only be a few hundred, right? Commander, we have over ten thousand men, why are you worried about that?"

Xu Guanzhong's words reassured Yang Zhi considerably. Ten thousand against a few hundred? Wasn't that a clear advantage?

"However, once we arrive, we need to have the brothers repair the dock and set up a simple camp around it first, so that it will be convenient for our mountain stronghold to come later."

"Yes, strategist, you're right. Besides, we've been at sea for so many days, and everyone's feeling a bit dizzy."

Yang Zhi discovered this time that the Liangshan men had a problem: they were indeed prone to seasickness.

“Okay, after we get to the island, let’s set up camp first, and then send someone to scout out the current situation.”

Xu Guanzhong accepted Yang Zhi's suggestion, since a group of people who were seasick would indeed have very poor fighting ability.

I must increase my practice in this area in the future!

"By the way, Commander, give me a few clever brothers, and I'll teach them some of the local dialect."

"Strategist, you can do this too?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit..."

Another day or two passed. On this day, while Yang Zhi and the others were having breakfast in the cabin, soldiers suddenly rushed in!

"Boss, boss, the island! The island!"

"go!"

Upon hearing the soldiers say they had spotted the island, the leaders immediately put down their bowls and rushed out!

Ahead of them, through the thick mist, they could indeed see the outline of an island!

"Naval chart!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Yang Zhi immediately ordered the soldiers around him to bring him a nautical chart. After comparing it, he confirmed that the island in front of him was Jeju Island, which they were looking for!

"Signal with flags! Fire the horn cannons! Notify all ships to prepare their equipment! Get ready to land on the island!"

"Ready to go to the island!"

"Ready to go to the island!"

……

The soldiers on the ship immediately sprang into action. The hardships they had endured at sea these past few days had finally paid off, and they were about to usher in their moment of glory!

"Keep a calm mind. This is a very simple task. There won't be any problems."

Seeing Yang Zhi's expression, which was a mixture of excitement and worry, Xu Guanzhong comforted him once again.

"Don't worry, strategist, I know what I'm doing."

Yang Zhi took several deep breaths of the salty sea breeze to calm himself down.

"I'm going to take this island, and I'll bring everyone back to Liangshan safely!"

……

Daming Mansion.

At Lu Junyi's residence.

"Manager, this is a batch of goods from Shandong. Could you check if anything was missing?"

The servants are counting the goods. This time, Lu Junyi and his men have thirty or forty cartloads of goods to send to Shandong.

Li Gu was the one in charge of counting the goods.

"Tie these goods up securely so they don't scatter on the road. Also, have you collected all the deposits? Have all the contracts been signed? Have you reported it to the authorities?"

Li Gu, even though he stole from his master's house, you can't say whether he has a business mind or not!

Almost all the businesses in Lu Junyi's household had to pass through his hands.

"Li Gu, how's the stuff?"

Li Gu was busy when Lu Junyi came in from outside.

"Master, everything is almost ready, and we can deliver it tomorrow."

When Li Gu saw Lu Junyi enter, he immediately bowed and scraped.

Was he afraid of Lu Junyi? Of course he was. After all, Lu Junyi's martial arts skills were almost unmatched, and he was also the host. How could Li Gu not be afraid?

But secretly, he was pleased with himself because he had won over his mistress and would find an opportunity to get rid of Lu Junyi in the future. He was willing to work hard now, but all of this would be his in the future!

Furthermore, every time Lu Junyi went on a long journey to deliver goods, he would leave him the opportunity to spend time with his mistress. They were inseparable, and he would feel so tired and weak that his back and legs would ache.

Therefore, Li Gu felt that Lu Junyi was about to deliver goods again, and his opportunity had come again!

"Okay, very good. Here's what you'll do. Get ready, you'll be coming with me this time."

Looking at the thirty or forty fully loaded trucks in front of him, Lu Junyi was quite satisfied with Li Gu.

This manager is really good; you'll know once you use him!

"Okay, huh? Master, me?"

Li Gu nodded as usual, but then he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, why was I asked to come along this time? Isn't it always Yan Qing who's with me?

"Yes, it's you. What's wrong?"

Lu Junyi was somewhat surprised.

"No, Master, it's always Xiao Yi who goes out with you. Why is it suddenly me this time?"

Li Gu explained.

“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you, Xiao Yi caught a cold recently, so he can’t go this time. We’re going to Shandong this time to talk business with a big client. Since Xiao Yi isn’t with me, I’ll have to ask you to come with me.”

Lu Junyi said to Li Gu.

"Ah, I see. Okay, then I'll go with my master."

Li Gu outwardly agreed, but inwardly he was fiercely protesting:

Go where? Who wants to go with you?

Why don't you go by yourself?

Only when you leave will your bed be empty so I can go up and sleep!

Seriously, that damned Yan Qing, why did he have to get sick now of all times?

"Haha, don't worry, it's very safe to travel far. Just make the trip with me, and I'll give you an extra thirty taels of silver as a reward. Hurry up and get the carriage ready."

Lu Junyi patted Li Gu on the shoulder and then left.

Li Gu was left alone, continuing to stand in the courtyard.

Hmph, only thirty taels?

Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi, who do you look down on?
