Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Seventh Brother, isn't that Guan Sheng?"

Today, the troops responsible for transporting civilians to Jeju Island are the naval force led by Ruan Xiaoqi.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted Guan Sheng immediately and reported it to Ruan Xiaoqi.

"Seventh Brother, didn't the chieftain mention that Guan Sheng has also gone up the mountain? Should we stop him?"

As Ruan Xiaoqi's deputy, Di Cheng naturally saw Guan Sheng as well.

But Di Cheng hadn't heard that Guan Sheng had gone up the mountain. Wasn't he always in the labor camp, or some kind of labor reform camp?

"Let him come up too."

But Ruan Xiaoqi agreed to let Guan Sheng board the ship as well.

"Seventh Brother, what if Guan Sheng..."

"It's alright. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

Ruan Xiaoqi indicated that it was alright, as he was also an old-timer from Liangshan and had a good relationship with Ren Yuan. Ruan Xiaoqi had heard some things about Guan Sheng from Ren Yuan.

"Okay, but I'll have the brothers keep an eye on him. Although Guan Sheng is very powerful, we're not afraid of him when we're in the water!"

When Di Cheng heard that his commander had agreed to let Guan Sheng board the ship, he didn't say anything more.

After all, the commander-in-chief has the final say on this matter.

However, he still harbored suspicion towards Guan Sheng.

"Okay, then you can arrange it as you see fit."

Ruan Xiaoqi had a lot of confidence in Di Cheng. Since the formation of the Third Naval Battle Group, Ruan Xiaoqi and Di Cheng had worked together very well.

"Inspector Guan, are you going out to sea too?"

After Guan Sheng boarded the ship, Ruan Xiaoqi walked over to him, led him aside, and asked him a question like an old friend.

"Hmm... After spending all day in the labor camp, it's time to get some fresh air."

Guan Sheng recognized Ruan Xiaoqi. Although they did not encounter the navy when they attacked Liangshan, Zhu Tong later mentioned in the labor camp that Ruan Xiaoqi, the leader of the third naval army, was one of Ren Yuan's trusted and beloved generals.

"Getting some fresh air is a good thing. It helps to clear out the pent-up emotions in your heart so you can start living again. Am I right, Inspector Guan?"

Ruan Xiaoqi's words were pointed.

"I just want to see the big island you conquered, and see if Ren Yuan is deceiving everyone."

Guan Sheng, upon seeing this, also spoke the truth.

"Deception? Guan Sheng, what do you mean?"

When Di Cheng heard Guan Sheng speaking ill of Ren Yuan, he immediately became a little agitated.

"Acheng, go and look after the people."

Ruan Xiaoqi stopped Di Cheng and gestured for him to go ahead with his work. Although Di Cheng wanted to say something, he could only leave when he saw Ruan Xiaoqi's unusually serious face.

"Inspector Guan, we know my brother better than you do."

“If you say such things again, Liangshan will not welcome you.”

"As for where the common people went to sea, don't worry, in my brother's heart, the common people have a very high status, far higher than that Zhao official you serve. Do I need to tell you what your Zhao official has done all these years? Putting aside everything else, why did Governor Yang end up wandering the Jianghu back then? The Flower and Stone Tribute, don't tell me you don't know?"

Ruan Xiaoqi's rebuttal was reasonable and logical, leaving Guan Sheng with no room for rebuttal.

Who doesn't know that the Flower and Stone Tribute incident was a problem with the government?

“But Ren Yuan made empty promises about giving land to the people, how can I believe him?”

Guan Sheng could only resort to this last move, this damned stubbornness!

"Then please sit down, Inspector Guan, and take a good look in a few days to see if our Jeju Island is as good as we say."

Seeing that Guan Sheng was stubbornly holding on, Ruan Xiaoqi didn't say anything else and just told Guan Sheng to sit down properly.

"The sea is rough, Inspector Guan, don't fall in, or I'll have to come and get you."

Before leaving, Ruan Xiaoqi made a sarcastic remark to Guan Sheng.

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me, I won't fall."

It was also Guan Sheng's first time on such a large ship, and he must have felt flustered, but he couldn't show it.

Ruan Xiaoqi glanced at him, but didn't say much. She simply instructed a few junior naval officers not to let Guan Sheng fall into the sea.

Then, the group set off. The massive Liangshan navy sailed directly into the sea along the waterway, heading towards Jeju Island.

Along the way, the Liangshan navy chatted and laughed with the people. The navy used all their skills to perform for the people so that they wouldn't get bored. The harmonious scene of the army and the people along the way greatly impressed Guan Sheng.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a harmonious scene of military and civilian unity.

After three or four days, the first rays of sunlight of the morning arrived, accompanied by shouts of "Island! Island!" coming from the deck.

Guan Sheng ran out of the cabin and saw Jeju Island, which had been conquered by Liangshan, for the first time!

It lies on the sea like a giant turtle, so enchanting in the morning sunlight.

It was so substantial and simple, lying there quietly, as if bearing a heavy weight of hope.

"Inspector Guan, get ready to go to the island. Once you're there, use your eyes to take a good look around!"

……

A few days later, at Liangshan.

"Then that's settled. Jiao Ting, you'll go to Brother Yuan Lang's place and become the deputy general of the Ever-Victorious Army! Once you're there, teach the soldiers your sumo wrestling skills so they have more ways to save their lives."

Ren Yuan was in the military advisor's office, issuing some job appointments.

Jiao Ting, who had no face, was assigned by Ren Yuan to be Yuan Lang's deputy general.

Ren Yuan has tried Jiao Ting's sumo wrestling skills, and they are good. As expected of a technique passed down for three generations, these skills are indeed very good and suitable for an infantry leader.

Yuan Lang has been single-handedly supporting an entire army for so many years; he really needs a helper.

"Thank you, Brother Jiao Ting!"

Jiao Ting was very happy. He had no objection to Yuan Lang. The Ever-Victorious Army was originally the First Infantry Battalion when Liangshan was first established. It had a very high seniority!

"Brother Shi Yong, you can join Wu Song's Tiger-Taming Legion as a deputy general, is that alright?"

Jiao Ting got his place, and Shi Yong certainly couldn't be left behind. Moreover, although Shi Yong's martial arts skills weren't top-notch, he lived up to his name and was courageous enough to go into battle recklessly!

Go to Wu Song and let him polish him up, that would be great.

"I'm willing!"

Shi Yong certainly had no objections; after all, that was Wu Song! The world-famous Drunken Tiger Tamer, who wouldn't want to be his deputy!

"Brother Suo Chao..."

After those two were arranged, only Suo Chao was left.

Suo Chao was a straightforward man. After being defeated by Bian Xiang, he had no intention of resisting anymore. Moreover, Lu Junyi was in Liangshan, and Suo Chao had a good relationship with Lu Junyi.

Furthermore, after seeing that Liangshan had not caused any damage to Daming Prefecture, but instead had taken in the poor people of Daming Prefecture, Suo Chao felt even more favorably toward Liangshan.

Finally, when they arrived at Liangshan, they went up the mountain and saw that there were a lot of former imperial officers, including Instructor Wang, Instructor Lin, Commander Qin, Commander Yang, and Supervisor Zhang. Suo Chao immediately felt that he had just gone from one military camp to another, so what was there to hesitate about?

Moreover, Suo Chao wasn't alone; his apprentice Zhou Jin was also arrested. If the master wanted to surrender, the apprentice would naturally surrender as well.

Ren Yuan took one look and thought, "Hmm, how about letting Suo Chao lead a cavalry unit? And then Zhou Jin as his deputy? Although I feel that this would make the legion slightly weaker..."

"Brother! Guan Sheng is back."

Just as Ren Yuan was about to ask Suo Chao for his opinion, Xiao Jiahui suddenly arrived and delivered some rather shocking news.

"Guan Sheng? Didn't Xiao Qi say he went to Jeju Island? Why is he back?"

Ren Yuan knew about Guan Sheng's trip to Jeju Island with Ruan Xiaoqi a long time ago, but he didn't stop him at the time, taking it as Guan Sheng being disheartened and preparing to retire.

To my surprise, he actually came back.

"Chief, I was foolish before and did not understand your heart for the people's livelihood. I even belittled you many times. It was not until I went to Jeju Island that I understood your ambition! I am ashamed! Today, I have come here to apologize! Please forgive me, Chief!"

Before Xiao Jiahui could answer, a burly man with a red face, long beard, bare-chested, and carrying a bundle of thorns on his back walked in and knelt down directly in front of Ren Yuan!

Ren Yuan looked up and exclaimed, "Hey, Guan Sheng, your act of 'pleading guilty with thorns on your back' caught me off guard!"
