Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Old Xu, you're finally back!"

When Xu Jing returned to Tokyo, he was immediately dragged away by Li Congji, who was waiting at the door.

"what happened?"

Xu Jing was a little surprised. Why was his old friend waiting for him here?

"Old Xu, your men have been taken away by Jing Zhong."

Li Congji said to Xu Jing.

"WTF?"

Xu Jing was stunned. My man, Jing Zhong, has taken him away?

“Jing Zhong took 10,000 men and left 5,000 behind, but His Majesty said that all military governors must hand over 5,000 men to the Imperial Guard. In other words, your troops are gone.”

Xu Jing was completely dumbfounded.

He recalled the words Ren Yuan had spoken to him when they were on Liangshan Mountain.

Suppressing bandits releases military power.

Unexpectedly, before he even returned to the capital, he was stripped of his military power, which means he now has no one under his command.

"I'm completely alone now?"

"Well, no, we've already sent five thousand men to go, but you only have five thousand left, so we haven't asked you to send any yet. We'll let you take them with you for now, and we'll talk about it after we finish fighting Liangshan."

Li Congji explained to Xu Jing.

"Good, good, good, what a good official! I underestimated him, really."

Li Congji's words nearly made Xu Jing faint with anger.

What a cruel official! Is he really determined to exterminate everyone?

"By the way, how did it turn into a fight against Liangshan?"

But he quickly realized that Li Congji had just said, "Attack Liangshan?" How could it be so soon?

"Gao Qiu's men found out that there was a stone tablet at Liangshan with a list of stars who had descended to earth written on it, which made our emperor furious and ordered an attack on Liangshan."

"Then there's Jing Zhong, you know him, he likes to put on a show in front of the emperor. Look, he personally told the emperor that speed is of the essence in war, and he wants to be the vanguard."

"Then the emperor was pleased and gave your man to him."

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

"When I went to seek amnesty, I risked my life and fortune. I never expected that before I even returned, someone would be eyeing my hard-earned wealth!"

"Don't be angry. You still need to report the results of the amnesty to the emperor."

"Hmph, surrender, surrender? What kind of surrender is this!"

Xu Jing grumbled and cursed for a while, which was unusual for him, before heading towards the palace.

"By the way, Lao Xu, how's it going with those guys from Liangshan?"

Li Congji quickly followed, not wanting anything to happen to Xu Jing, so he chatted with him to distract him.

"Liangshan? If we were all twenty or thirty years younger, I think we would all be on Liangshan."

Xu Jing gave Liangshan a very high evaluation!

"That Ren Yuan, is he that capable?"

Li Congji was also very surprised. He knew Xu Jing's temper. For Xu Jing to say such a thing could only prove that Ren Yuan, this junior, was exceptionally good!

"Hmph, I'd like to go straight back to Liangshan now."

Because Xu Jing and Li Congji were sworn brothers, Xu Jing didn't hide anything from Li Congji.

"You can't just say things like that. This is Tokyo; things can easily get into trouble here."

Li Congji quickly signaled to Xu Jing not to do anything reckless, as they were in public and should be mindful of the consequences.

"Hmph, I'll stay at your camp tonight."

Xu Jing was seething with anger, but there was nothing he could do but go to the palace to report back.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

……

Meanwhile, Jing Zhong was leading his men towards Liangshan.

However, he walked very slowly because he naturally maintained his style of grabbing whatever he could find wherever he went.

However, this time, his raiding trip did not go very smoothly.

The main reason was that the 10,000 men they had taken from Xu Jing refused to carry out Jing Zhong's order to plunder.

"If you disobey orders, do you believe I will deal with you according to military law?"

Jing Zhong didn't have a good solution for dealing with this group of people who didn't obey his orders.

After all, he couldn't control these soldiers under Xu Jing's command.

Moreover, because Xu Jing had several other military governors behind him, Jing Zhong didn't dare to do anything to this group of people. If he were to kill all 10,000 of them, the other military governors would definitely make his life miserable.

Therefore, Jing Zhong is now too lazy to care about the lives of these 10,000 people. Anyway, it's your business if you don't want to rob, we'll rob our own troops.

Once we get to Liangshan, I'll put these ten thousand of you at the very front!

Oh no, I mean, now I'm having you guys take the lead and clear the way!

Therefore, Xu Jing's troops became the arrowhead of the entire army.

"Boss, is it really okay for us to disobey Governor Jing's orders?"

The ones who led the refusal to carry out Jing Zhong's orders were several deputy generals under Xu Jing. They had followed Xu Jing for many years and were considered to be relatively conscientious.

"Who does Jing Zhong think he is? He's been robbing and causing trouble all the way here. Didn't you see how those villagers look at us like we're their enemies?"

Xu Jing's lieutenants were also very dissatisfied with Jing Zhong. As the vanguard, they were at the highest risk, but Jing Zhong insisted on having them pave the way for his team!

"We were doing just fine serving under General Xu, and now we've suddenly been transferred to this guy's command. How annoying!"

"That's right, and I've also heard that Liangshan values ​​the common people the most. With what Jing Zhong has done, he'll probably be on Liangshan's kill list!"

"So, how far are we from Liangshan now? If Jing Zhong pushes me too far, I'll just run straight to Liangshan!"

Several lieutenants were chatting when suddenly, two cannon shots rang out from the woods on either side! Immediately afterwards, an army emerged from the woods!

This army blocked their only way, carrying two flags, one that read "Liangshan" and the other "Tenth Cavalry Regiment"! The two leading heroes, each holding a weapon, stood on the road.

The one at the bottom is incredibly imposing, as praised in a poem:

A peerless general charged forth, his imposing presence adding to the grandeur of the scene. Fish-scale armor clung tightly to his body, while a lion-headed helmet protected his neck. His charging steed resembled a dragon, and his golden-plated axe was shaped like a bow.

This man was none other than Suo Chao, the deputy commander of the 10th Regiment of the Liangshan Cavalry and the vanguard!

The one at the head of the table, standing tall and imposing, simply by standing there, gives one the feeling of a hermit master.

What does he look like?

A gleaming indigo turban, a jade-green battle robe adorned with clusters of flowers. Brightly shining armor, beast-shaped rings gleaming, a crescent-shaped sword, like a dragon swallowing jade. A green steed, covered in pink floral patterns, a parrot-green brocade robe protecting its body.

This man was none other than Guan Sheng, the Great Saber, who had recently officially joined Liangshan!

"who!"

Xu Jing's deputy general was shocked because although the number of people in this suddenly appearing team was far less than theirs, their momentum and the oppressive feeling given by the two leading generals were overwhelming!

"You come to my Liangshan Marsh, and you still have the nerve to ask who we are?"

Suo Chao rubbed the gold-plated axe in his hand, his words filled with disdain.

"Are you from Liangshan?!"

Xu Jing's soldiers were shocked. How could the Liangshan troops have arrived so quickly!

"Where is Jing Zhong! We're just using his head for a short time! Everyone else, get out of the way!"

Guan Sheng became even more domineering, letting out a loud shout as he aimed directly at Jing Zhong!

"What happened? What happened? Why did it stop?"

At this moment, Jing Zhong, standing in the middle of the group, also noticed that the group in front had stopped, and he was somewhat puzzled.

Will Xu Jing's men mutiny?

Thinking of this, he led his men forward on horseback, preparing to go to the very front to take a look.

This caused a slight disturbance within the team.

"Brother, look at that guy, isn't that Jing Zhong?"

The chaos in the government troops did not escape Suo Chao's eyes, and he pointed sharply in Jing Zhong's direction!

"Hmph, as expected, among the ten commanders, there are those who are just filling in the ranks!"

Guan Sheng also looked up and saw that Jing Zhong was indeed quite conspicuous in the crowd.

"You scoundrel, Suo Chao! Keep an eye on things, I'll be right back!"

Guan Sheng stroked his beard, slapped his horse, held his Green Dragon Crescent Blade upside down, and galloped out of the formation!

Jing Zhong, prepare to die!
