Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Which hero said he wanted to become the leader of Liangshan?"

When Yang Lin arrived and found that no one responded to him, he asked again.

After asking the question, he suddenly spotted the Ma brothers in the crowd, but they seemed to be being held back by their father and forced to bend over.

"You two little brats! What are you doing? You haven't even gotten up the mountain yet, and you're already planning to cause trouble for me?"

Grandpa Ma looked at his children with a disappointed expression; he was truly worried sick about them!

"Father, we didn't! We were just stating our aspirations. Besides, although Commander Wu is powerful, he's just one person, while we brothers are two!"

Ma Qiang stated that he was not making this up; at least in terms of numbers, he had two brothers, while Wu Song was one person.

"That's right, Dad! How can you boost someone else's morale while diminishing your own?"

Ma Jin was also unconvinced. So, Wu Song fought the tiger, right? Although the story is very famous, both of their nicknames are related to "tiger". Wu Song could kill one tiger, so what if he encountered two tigers?

"You, you two idiots! I, I..."

If this were at home, Ma Qiang and Ma Jin would surely get a beating from their father for speaking like this, but now that they were in public, Grandpa Ma knew he had to save face for his two children.

"Brothers, surpassing Chief Wu isn't something you can just talk about; you need real skills."

Just then, Yang Lin arrived. Upon hearing the conversation between the father and his two sons, Yang Lin chuckled.

Wu Dutou was a recognized expert in life-or-death combat among the Liangshan infantry, ranking among the top five in the Liangshan infantry camp.

These two brothers may seem quite remarkable, but they're still a bit short of being able to defeat Wu Dutou, aren't they?

"Hey buddy, we're brothers. I can't promise anything else, but we're definitely got the skills! If you don't believe me, come and try us now."

Upon hearing this, Ma Qiang and Ma Jin immediately perked up as well.

"Haha, you two are joking. This is where we common folk come up the mountain. If you want to test your skills, come up the mountain and show them off at the Liangshan Grand Training Ground."

"Of course, I can tell that you two brothers are no ordinary people. May I ask your names?"

Yang Lin looked at the two people in front of him, and was also silently surprised.

Goodness, these two are really something else. Their aura is just as strong as the solo training session on the mountain.

"Tell you? What good would it do to tell you? What position do you hold in Liangshan?"

Ma Qiang and Ma Jin weren't particularly stupid; they could tell that Yang Lin was a leader of Liangshan, and his position was probably not low. They just didn't know what his responsibilities were.

"I am Yang Lin, the Leopard, one of the leaders who welcomed the four directions at Liangshan."

Yang Lin frankly stated that what he did most was to discover talent and bring more talent to Liangshan.

"So it's Brother Yang Lin. I've heard so much about you."

Upon hearing that Yang Lin was the leader, Ma Qiang and Ma Jin became much more respectful. After all, Gou Sheng had just told them that those who could be called leaders on Liangshan were likely people who could command an army.

Although Yang Lin was not a combat leader, he was responsible for welcoming people from all directions, so his power was considerable.

"Oh, you're too kind, brother. My little reputation is all thanks to the kindness of my fellow martial arts brothers. Now, may you two brothers tell me your names?"

Yang Lin was naturally not complacent; he knew his own limitations.

"I am Ma Qiang, the White-haired Tiger, and this is my younger brother, Ma Jin, the One-eyed Tiger."

The Ma brothers announced their names.

"Oh! So it's you two tigers!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Lin immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed!

"Does Brother Yang Lin know about us?"

The Ma brothers were puzzled. Why was Yang Lin so excited just by hearing his name?

"I've given you brothers Ma's names my instructions! I told you to keep an eye out for them. When I went down to the south of the Yangtze River back then, I went looking for you, but you weren't there!"

Yang Lin immediately said.

"Later, when I took on the job of welcoming people from all directions, my brother told me that if you two ever came, I should tell him, 'Come on, I'll take you two to find your brother right now.'"

The brothers Ma Qiang and Ma Jin suddenly felt very proud, and they even winked at their father, as if to say:

"Father, do you see? Liangshan values ​​the two of us so much!"

"Crack! Crack!"

But what awaited them was a blow to the head from Grandpa Ma.

Then, Grandpa Ma took Yang Lin's hand, tears streaming down his face.

"Chief Yang, it's rare that the chief still remembers my two good-for-nothing children. I really don't know what to say. These two kids are incredibly stubborn. I told them to come to Liangshan as soon as possible, but they refused and dragged their feet for so long. Now that the chief has been waiting for so long, I truly feel ashamed..."

"Don't cry, Uncle. From now on, we'll all be brothers. I know your two sons' martial arts skills well, otherwise I wouldn't have come in person, would I? It doesn't matter whether you come a little earlier or a little later." (Note: "Zhangzhang" was a respectful term for an elder in the Song Dynasty.)

Yang Lin comforted Grandpa Ma, while gesturing for the Ma brothers to come up and persuade him.

The Ma brothers quickly came over to comfort their father.

"You two little brats, listen up! The chieftain is kind and righteous, and he still remembers you two! But don't look so smug! When you see the chieftain later, you'd better be respectful to him!"

The Ma brothers dared not go against their father and quickly agreed.

“Uncle, please come with us. The chieftain must also be eager to see you.”

Seeing this, Yang Lin simply let Grandpa Ma go with him to see his brother.

They've met before anyway, so meeting again is fine.

"Brother Gousheng, I'll remember you! Remember, if we become leaders, we'll definitely want you!"

"Trust me! Coming here with us brothers won't be any worse than going to Commander Wu's place!"

Before leaving, Ma Jin patted Gou Sheng on the shoulder, leaving Gou Sheng speechless for a moment.

Brothers, why are you blaming me? Wouldn't it be better to let me go to Commander Wu's place?

……

Juyi Hall.

"Grandpa Ma, it's been a long time! How have you been these past few years?"

After receiving the message, Ren Yuan naturally waited at the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

“Chief, it was my fault that I didn’t bring these two little brats to Liangshan immediately back then. Please punish me, Chief.”

Master Ma directly apologized, but Ren Yuan dared not accept it and quickly went up to help him up.

"Father-in-law, you flatter me. Your two sons are both heroes. I'm overjoyed that they've come to Liangshan!"

After calming down Old Master Ma with words of comfort, Ren Yuan looked at the two Ma brothers and nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, although there are many heroes and leaders in Liangshan now, the Ma brothers are definitely among the most capable!

Based on Ren Yuan's personal observations, his elder brother Ma Qiang was probably similar to Sun Li, and his younger brother Ma Jin was similar to Shan Tinggui.

Therefore, Ren Yuan personally introduced them to them:

"Ma Qiang, Ma Jin, the current military system of Liangshan, from lowest to highest, is as follows:"

Flag: Full strength 10 people, the commander is the flag officer.

Team: Fully staffed with 20 people, commanded by a team leader and a deputy team leader.

Du: Fully staffed with 100 people, commanded by the head of the Du and the deputy head of the Du.

Battalion: 500 men at full strength, commanded by a commander and a deputy commander.

The regiment has a full strength of 2000 people, with the commander being the general and the deputy general.

Army: Full strength 6000 men, commanded by a commander and a deputy commander.

"Right now, Liangshan doesn't have an army rank yet; the highest is a regiment. And recently, all the regiments in Liangshan have been expanding. Tell me, you two brothers, what do you want to be?"
