Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Wang Huan's military camp.

All seven military governors are here at this moment.

"Brother Xu, you just went to Liangshan. Tell me, what was it like there?"

Zhang Kai asked Xu Jing.

What aspect are you referring to?

Xu Jing countered with a question to Zhang Kai.

"Tell me about that military report. Is Guan Sheng really in Liangshan?"

Zhang Kai had also heard of Guan Sheng, after all, Guan Sheng was the only one who dared to claim that he was a descendant of Guan Yu.

"That kid is indeed here."

Xu Jing nodded:

"And it wasn't just that kid; Wang Sheng's son Wang Jin, former Imperial Guard spear and staff instructor Lin Chong, and Imperial Golden Spear Class teacher Xu Ning, among others, were also there."

"So, in other words, there are a bunch of former imperial officers currently stationed at Liangshan?"

Mei Zhan was surprised:

"The world has changed. Back then, we were eager to join the imperial court from the outlaws, but now it seems like people from the imperial court are flocking to the outlaws."

"That's normal. Given the current emperor, how many people do you think want to stay in the Imperial Guard?"

Wang Wende has been holding his breath for the past few days.

"Putting everything else aside, just look at that military report: tens of thousands of men were lying in ambush with Jing Zhong? How is that possible? Even if Liangshan had tens of thousands of men, they couldn't all of them be lying in ambush with Jing Zhong."

Xiang Yuanzhen expressed doubts about the contents of the military report.

"Liangshan has more than tens of thousands of men, but Guan Sheng only has three thousand under his command. The report of tens of thousands of men is probably just to avoid responsibility."

Xu Jing sneered.

"Three thousand people? Brother Xu, tell me about them."

Zhang Kai suddenly became very interested in this.

"The highest-ranking leader on Liangshan is currently the leader of the combat legion. As far as I know, each combat legion on Liangshan currently has three thousand men, and these three thousand men are directly under the command of each legion leader; they are all their own soldiers."

"Ren Yuan is really bold. How can he be so comfortable letting his subordinates lead troops? Doesn't he want to reclaim their military power?"

"What military power? That kid is eager for his men to have more troops! Besides, he has a special ability to make his men obey him. Anyway, I haven't seen a single leader with military power on the mountain who doesn't obey him."

Xu Jing praised Ren Yuan.

"Old Xu, are you praising him?"

Wang Huan instinctively sensed that his old friend seemed to be praising Ren Yuan in his words.

"That kid is really good. If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would have worked for him too."

Xu Jing then spoke his mind directly.

"Being praised like this by you, brother, has suddenly made me very interested in him."

Zhang Kai was the most eager to fight among the seven military governors present. After Xu Jing said that, Zhang Kai suddenly looked forward to fighting Ren Yuan.

"You? You can't beat him."

Xu Jing glanced at Zhang Kai, then shook his head.

"Among the seven of us, only Brother Wang should be able to match that kid."

Is this really true?

Xu Jing's words moved the remaining six military governors.

Wang Huan's expression also changed!

He originally thought that Ren Yuan was just someone who could win people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, according to Xu Jing, Ren Yuan can actually fight on his own!

Then this kid becomes an even greater threat.

"Why would I lie to you? Although I've never fought him, the feeling tells me that if I did, I would definitely lose."

Xu Jing didn't tell his old buddies that Ren Yuan was Zhou Tong's disciple, mainly because he knew that these old buddies were all arrogant people when they were young.

Especially Zhang Kai, he has a terrible temper. If you don't beat him into submission, he might not listen to anything you say.

"Remember this well. There are many people on Liangshan this time, so we must not add fuel to the fire. When we fight, if we can't win, we should come back immediately. Don't worry about saving face. At our age, staying alive is the most important thing."

As the eldest brother, Wang Huan set the tone for everyone at this moment, as he did not want to see anything happen to his old brothers.

"Brother, don't worry, we're not young anymore."

Zhang Kai thumped his chest loudly, but actually, Wang Huan was most worried about him.

"Brother Xu, since there are so many former government troops on Liangshan, is Yang Wen's uncle, the Blue-Faced Beast Yang Zhi, also on Liangshan?"

Xiang Yuanzhen asked.

"Yes, not only Yang Zhi, I also saw Huyan Zhuo from General Huyan's family."

Xu Jing replied.

“Yang Wen will definitely challenge his uncle when the time comes, since they are both from Tianbo Mansion. As for that guy from the Huyan family, Han Cunbao has been keeping an eye on him for quite some time now.”

Mei Zhan knew that Yang Wen's position as military governor had actually been affected by Yang Zhi several times. If it weren't for Yang Wen's pleading and spending a lot of money to smooth things over, he probably would have lost his position long ago because of Yang Zhi's influence.

"Brother Xu, tell me the truth, did Liangshan make you any promises?"

Wang Huan suddenly asked Xu Jing.

"Brother, why do you ask that?"

Xu Jing was taken aback, then asked Wang Huan.

"According to your description, Ren Yuan is an ambitious man. You, an old man, are a veteran of the outlaw world. Do you think he would let you go so easily?"

"Brother, even though we've been government soldiers for so many years, I haven't forgotten the tricks of the bandits from back in the day!"

Wang Huan's words silenced everyone present.

"Hey, Lao Xu, really? Is what Brother Wang said true?"

Li Congji looked at his old friend with disbelief.

"You'd better think this through. We came from the bandits back in the day. If you're tricked by a young kid into going back to the bandits, that would be a disaster."

"Exactly, Brother Xu, it's like a woman who's already been redeemed going back to a brothel—people will laugh her to death!"

Zhang Kai also shouted.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up! Why are you talking so rudely?"

Xu Jing looked at Zhang Kai with a helpless expression.

"Brother, I won't hide it from you. You probably think that once that brat knows my identity, he'll strongly invite me to join Liangshan."

"The problem is, that brat never once tried to recruit me!"

Xu Jing's resolute answer made Wang Huan realize that he might have been overthinking things.

In fact, Xu Jing was not lying, because Ren Yuan really did not say those words himself; he had only done some similar things.

"Brother, don't blame me for being overly concerned, but now, the seven of us are all in the same boat, and there are some things we have to consider."

Wang Huan stood up and apologized to Xu Jing.

“My dear brother, of course I know that the Emperor has already taken a dislike to us. This time, taking away our military power is a signal. If we fail to defeat Liangshan, I'm afraid every one of us will have to go back to our hometown.”

"So, old brothers, I have an idea..."

……

At Gao Qiu's residence.

Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang were toasting Gao Qiu and saying nice things to him, making Gao Qiu's face turn red from drinking!

"General Qiu, General Zhou! Don't worry! From now on, you are my brothers. Whatever you want, I will help you!"

"However, if Mr. Gao needs your help, you cannot refuse!"

"We will obey the Grand Commandant's orders!"

Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang wanted exactly what Gao Qiu had to say. As long as they were associated with Gao Qiu, they would have no worries about getting promoted and making a fortune in the future!

"Good, good, good! Shiying, go, take my token, and go to the brothel to select twenty beautiful dancers!"

"Grand Commandant, what are you trying to do?"

Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang were somewhat puzzled.

"General Qiu, General Zhou, you two have worked hard and made great contributions, but you are not married yet, are you? These twenty dancers are for you! Ten each!"

Gao Qiu, holding his wine cup, wore a smug expression.

"As long as you follow me loyally, you can have as many of these dancers as you want in the future!"
