Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Everyone, please don't rush! Take your time! Let's register one by one!"

"Yes! You can queue here too! Don't rush, there are plenty!"

"It's okay if you can't write. Just say your name and put your fingerprint on it!"

"Your name is Wang Jiayi, right? Which 'Jia'? Which 'Yi'?"

……

At the fish market, docks, and in front of the slums in Daming Prefecture, the Liangshan bandits had already set up tables and chairs and began recruiting people who were willing to join them.

But they still underestimated the reputation of Liangshan. As soon as they heard it was Liangshan, people from all over rushed over!

The place where Liangshan was recruiting people was immediately surrounded by a huge crowd!

Moreover, the scene was extremely noisy, and the Liangshan soldiers had to send in more men to stabilize the situation.

Daming Prefecture Infantry Division.

"General, are we just going to stay here like this? Is it really appropriate to keep hiding like this?"

Li Chengwang left with Liang Zhongshu, Wen Da broke through the siege with Liang Zhongshu's wife, and Suo Chao was captured. Now, there are hardly any people left in the command of the Daming Prefecture Garrison!

Only a few lieutenants could barely be called commanders?

But now, whether it's the infantry or the cavalry, the remaining 10,000-plus soldiers of Daming Prefecture have all retreated back to their camps and are not coming out.

Even though they knew that the Liangshan soldiers were inside the city and that they could fight in the streets, they didn't.

“The ones outside are the Liangshan army, not some other bandits. If it were someone else, we could fight them, but let’s just forget about the Liangshan army.”

A lieutenant, arms crossed, leaned against the doorframe and spoke with an air of nonchalance.

"Why? Isn't he a strong person too?"

Some soldiers were somewhat surprised.

“Liangshan is different from other bandits. They have strict military discipline and will not harm the people. So if we don’t go out and fight with them, it’s the same as avoiding war for Daming Prefecture.”

The general spoke slowly and deliberately.

"But judging from the noise, Liangshan is taking over the treasury of our Daming Prefecture and recruiting people from Daming Prefecture to Liangshan! Isn't that a bad thing?"

Some soldiers were dissatisfied.

Even if Liangshan is a good place, it's still bandits!

"They confiscated the government treasury and the house of the Grand Secretary, that's all, right? They didn't confiscate the property of ordinary people."

"As for the common people, listen to the direction this sound is coming from. The fish market, the docks, the slums—do our government officials care about those places? They've never cared, have they?"

"Now that Liangshan is in charge of those people for us, why don't we help them?"

"Finally, I know that many of you might be planning to rush out now, kill a few Liangshan bandits, and then earn some merit, right?"

"Let me remind you, Liangshan has defeated Zengtou City before. If you think you're better than Zengtou City, then go ahead. But you only have one life. If you lose it, don't blame me for not warning you."

After the lieutenant finished speaking, he ignored the soldiers' reactions and walked out of the infantry headquarters on his own.

"General, where are you going?"

"Go home, anyway, Liangshan won't raid my house."

……

After the lieutenant general left, the Infantry Command fell silent.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe that Liangshan is all that tough!"

Some ruffians didn't believe that Liangshan was so capable of fighting, so when they saw the lieutenant general leave, they spontaneously stepped forward and gathered two or three hundred men.

"Brothers, let's charge out and kill a few Liangshan bandits. Maybe the Grand Secretary is on his way back to reinforce us. If we charge out now, we can get some credit!"

The leading thug shouted at everyone.

Then those two or three hundred people rushed out!

Then, sure enough, shouts of killing rang out from the streets outside!

This gave everyone in the Infantry Division a real jolt!

Although no one spoke, they could convey this message through each other's eyes:

"If those people can succeed, it means that Liangshan isn't so scary after all!"

But reality often proves us wrong; the shouts of killing didn't last long before they subsided.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a dozen or so thugs rush in from outside the Infantry Command's gate, slam the gate shut, and forcefully block it!

These guys, who were just moments ago so arrogant, now all have the word "fear" written on their faces!

"What's going on? Why are you back?"

The soldiers inside the Infantry Division looked surprised.

Weren't these people just shouting for battle? Why are they all pale now?

"Monsters, monsters... Liangshan is full of monsters."

These dozen or so thugs couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"You won't be wiped out so quickly?"

Some of the soldiers who remained behind asked incredulously.

Hey, there were two or three hundred of you, not two or three hundred pigs! Gone so quickly?

"Listen up, everyone in the Infantry Command! I am the commander of the 8th Infantry Regiment of Liangshan! If you stay inside obediently, or lay down your weapons and come home, we will let you pass!"

"But if anyone rushes out like they did just now, wanting to fight again, Liangshan won't hold back!"

The answer to these people's doubts came from Shan Shiqi's loud voice outside the door. To be honest, Shan Shiqi himself did not expect that he was just stationed outside the Infantry Command as required, and two or three hundred heads would be delivered to his door inexplicably. Shan Shiqi was overjoyed by this merit that fell from the sky!

Or, how about a few more of you rush out? Give my Eighth Regiment a thousand kills?

……

"Brother, Commander Yang is back!"

At Liang Zhongshu’s residence, Ren Yuan saw Yang Zhi return.

"How should it be administered? What is the situation at the Guangping Horse Stable?"

Looking at Yang Zhi's happy smile, Ren Yuan could roughly guess what was going on.

“Brother, we’ve acquired all the horses from the Guangping Horse Stable. Brother Mi Sheng and the others are driving the horses. Let me come back first.”

Yang Zhi said with a smile.

“Your Excellency, I have found the person you were looking for.”

Wu Song then came up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yang Zhi.

"Thank you, Captain. I wonder where Old Xie is now?"

The moment Yang Zhi saw Wu Song, he also bowed to Wu Song.

"I'm waiting inside the government office. Commander, come with me."

Yang Zhi thanked Wu Song and then followed him.

"Wait, I'm going too."

Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, Ren Yuan followed along.

"Brother, what you're doing..."

Yang Zhi was somewhat surprised; why had Ren Yuan come along too?

"Haha, Commander, you are not the same as before. Of course I believe you. But this Xie Duguan, who looked down on you so much back then, I really want to see what kind of expression he has now."

Ren Yuan said with a smile that he would never admit that he just wanted to watch the excitement!

“Since you’re so willing, brother, let’s come together.”

Yang Zhi smiled. To be honest, he was indeed different now than when he first joined Liangshan.

At this moment, Xie Duguan was squatting alone in a corner of the mansion, being watched by several Liangshan soldiers.

At this moment, many images were flashing through his mind.

There are scenes of him arriving in Daming Prefecture, scenes of him bossing people around in the mansion, scenes of him talking with Yang Zhi on the way to the birthday tribute... and scenes of Lady Liang Zhongshu not taking him with her when she broke through the siege today.

His recollection was interrupted when a somewhat familiar voice reached his ears.

"Old Xie, we meet again!"

Supervisor Xie raised his head, and that familiar face with the blue birthmark reappeared in his sight!

"Yang, Yang, Yang Zhi..."

Xie, the steward, stammered, "It's over, Yang Zhi is really still alive!"

"Yes, I'm not dead, but whether you'll live today is another story!"

As soon as Yang Zhi finished speaking, the precious sword at his waist was instantly drawn!

A flash of gleaming blade streaked through the air! To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment!
