Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Ren Yuan was very satisfied after the issues concerning Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were resolved.

I thought that this time only Su Ding would be able to come out, but unexpectedly, the "buy one get two free" deal made both Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo willing to come out and work.

With Wei Dingguo as the deputy general, Shan Shiqi must be especially happy, as his 8th Infantry Regiment finally has a deputy general!

The addition of Shan Tinggui, a first-rate military commander, to the navy as its chief instructor plays a crucial role in enhancing the navy's combat effectiveness.

After all, Ou Peng's fighting skills are still somewhat lacking.

If Ou Peng's team was the Marine Corps, then the navy that followed Shan Tinggui was a special forces naval force! The best of the best, the elite of the elite!

But just as Ren Yuan was very satisfied and was about to leave again, he suddenly heard a voice again.

"Chief Ren, I, I..."

Turning around, I saw Xuan Zan, and lo and behold, he actually spoke up too!

Ren Yuan was greatly shocked. No, it's only been a short time since you guys "laid down" F4, why are you all suddenly so enthusiastic today?

Is this going to be a huge surprise for me?

"Your Highness, do you also wish to return to public life?"

Ren Yuan didn't have high expectations for Xuan Zan, because this guy was close to Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng, that stubborn rock, had been in Zhu Tong's labor camp for quite a while, and there was no sign that he wanted to change anything.

"Chief, I want to go and talk to Guan Sheng."

When Xuanzan was arrested, he apologized to Chai Jin in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, which shows that he knew he was in the wrong. That's why he was able to lie down as an ordinary citizen in the residential area behind the mountain.

But Guan Sheng is a very proud guy. Even though he knows he's in the wrong, he still talks tough, so Ren Yuan won't tolerate him.

Are the descendants of Guan Yu so great? Does that give them the right to stubbornly refuse to apologize?

Who's going to spoil you?!

Since Ren Yuan wouldn't tolerate it, Guan Sheng ended up in a labor camp.

"What does the Prince Consort want to say?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat curious; it seemed that Xuan Zan and Guan Sheng indeed had a good relationship.

"To my shame, I initially thought that the chieftain was just spouting empty words to deceive the ignorant people, so I didn't respect him."

Xuan Zan first made a self-deprecating remark, then looked at Ren Yuan and said sincerely:

"But I never expected that after living with these people in Liangshan, I would understand the chieftain's good intentions."

"Although Liangshan is not large, the people living there are the happiest I have ever seen in the Song Dynasty. Every day, they wear a smile on their face. Compared to other places in the Song Dynasty, Liangshan is indeed a paradise for the people."

"And I've also heard that you, Chief, conquered a large island overseas, and the people will soon go there to cultivate the land, have their own land, and their own houses... Now I believe that you, Chief, are truly thinking of the people, and not just trying to satisfy your own desires!"

"So, I want to try to persuade Guan Sheng. I think Guan Sheng definitely wants the same future that the chieftain wants. I believe Guan Sheng can understand this and strive for it!"

The courtyard fell silent as Xuanzan spoke.

After all, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui still remembered Guan Sheng's actions after they were arrested.

At this moment, Xuan Zan suddenly said that he was going to persuade Guan Sheng, which made everyone feel that there was little hope.

"How confident is Your Excellency in persuading Guan Sheng?"

Ren Yuan looked at Xuan Zan, genuinely surprised that Xuan Zan would trust Guan Sheng so much.

"Fifty or sixty percent is enough, we can give it a try!"

Xuan Zan thought for a moment and gave a range.

"Alright, then I'll let the Prince Consort give it a try. Whether he succeeds or not doesn't matter. Anyway, I welcome the Prince Consort to come out of retirement."

Ren Yuan looked at Xuan Zan and nodded.

He had already made up his mind.

If Guan Sheng agrees to come out, then let Guan Sheng build a horse camp and let Xuan Zan become a deputy general.

If Guan Sheng disagrees, that's fine; it's good for him to stay in the labor camp. Xuan Zan can go to Pang Wanchun's place and continue to be a deputy general.

Both sides have deputy generals; they're the same.

"This young general thanks Chief Ren, Chief Ren, for your noble character!"

Xuan Zan quickly kowtowed to Ren Yuan, fearing that Ren Yuan still disliked Guan Sheng and planned to imprison him for life.

However, this statement is not entirely accurate, because Guan Sheng was an exception in the labor camp. He did not need to go to the labor camp; he was only responsible for watching over the place for Zhu Tong. When the labor camp workers went to work, he was responsible for supervising them. When they went to listen to lectures, Guan Sheng would listen along. He did not do any dirty or tiring work!

……

Meanwhile, as the proclamation issued by Daming Prefecture against Tian Hu of Hebei spread, more and more people learned that Tian Hu had actually attacked Daming Prefecture!

In an instant, the bandit world was shaken. Many heinous criminals, as well as those who had previously occupied mountain strongholds in Hebei, flocked to Tian Hu's command to seek refuge with him!

The number of desperate men under Tian Hu's command increased rapidly, allowing his power to expand at an alarming rate!

General Dong Ping conquered Gaizhou in just three days, giving Tian Hu control of five prefectures!

And that wasn't the end of it. Just a few days after Gaizhou was occupied, a group of bandits from Liaozhou stormed the prefectural capital and then collectively surrendered to Tian Hu, giving him control of six prefectures!

Tian Hu, who ruled over six provinces, decisively declared himself king in his stronghold of Jinyang!

He became the first man in the Song Dynasty to raise the banner and declare himself king!

Prince Tian Hu of Jin!

For a moment, the entire forest was completely silent!

No one expected Tian Hu to be so fierce!

He declared himself king over six states! What are the remaining three leaders of the Green Forest left to do?

"I was just flattering him back then, deliberately trying to make him take the blame, how come he's acting like a king now?"

When Liangshan learned that Tian Hu had declared himself king, the one who couldn't understand it the most was Xiao Jiasui.

Because it was he who, on behalf of Liangshan, issued that statement wishing Tian Hu good fortune in battle.

Equally incomprehensible are Li Zhu from Wang Qing's side and Lü Shinang from Fang La's side (I made a mistake before, it should be Lü Shinang).

That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Tian Hu have any strategists under his command?

Can't they see that this is an open conspiracy?

How did Tian Hu manage to become king just like that?

"This martial arts world is about to descend into chaos."

After Tian Hu declared himself king, not only the martial arts world descended into chaos, but the Song Dynasty court also fell into disarray!

In the imperial court of Bianjing (Kaifeng), the capital of the Song Dynasty.

"You bastard! Who is Tian Hu? He actually declared himself king? My ministers, can any of you tell me what happened?!"

During the morning court session, Zhao Ji was in the court hall, roaring at the top of his lungs!

He never imagined that someone would quietly seize six states under his rule and even declare himself king!

What are they trying to do?! What are they trying to do?!

The entire court was deathly silent. Everyone knew that the days to come wouldn't be so easy...
