Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

On a main road in Hizen Province, a large group of people were traveling in the night.

The leading general was none other than Guan Sheng.

With Takeshita Shun leading the way, Seki no longer got lost.

Not long ago, they stormed into Chikugo Province, captured its capital, killed over a thousand enemies, and successfully subjugated the entire country!

However, they did not kill the lord of Chikugo Province.

Because Fujiwara no Ryuji arrived in Chikugo Province before them, the ruler of Chikugo Province thought that Fujiwara no Ryuji had come to express the brotherhood after the alliance between the two countries, and took the initiative to go out to greet him without any precautions. As a result, he was killed on the spot.

Fujiwara Ryuji originally intended to use Chikugo Province to make a comeback, but before he could even settle into his position as the ruler of Chikugo Province, Sekikatsu came to kill him!

With no other option, Fujiwara Ryuji could only keep running!

It must be said that Fujiwara no Pao Pao was quite good at running away. After quickly looting Chikugo Province, he took hundreds of his confidants, as well as the sister of the ruler of Chikugo Province and his concubines, and slipped out of the back gate of Chikugo Province, fleeing to Higo Province without stopping!

Because he knew that, in terms of territorial strength, only Higo and Hyuga were the strongest on the entire Kyushu island!

Of course, in order to lull Guan Sheng into a false sense of security, he also sent a group of men to impersonate him and head towards Hizen Province!

When Guan Sheng and his group arrived, Chikugo Province was in chaos because the former lord had been killed and Fujiwara Ryuji had fled.

Several generals of Chikugo Province who had troops under their command already had their own ulterior motives. When they learned that their lord had been killed, they immediately started fighting each other to seize the lord's power and position!

This civil war broke out without warning, but very quickly!

They were probably too caught up in the battle to notice that Guan Sheng's army had quietly arrived nearby.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. Guan Sheng's army stormed in, not caring which general these people were under, they just killed them all!

In this battle, more than a thousand elite soldiers of Chikugo Province were killed, including the generals who were vying for power!

With no leader, Chikugo Province had no choice but to surrender to Seki Katsu's army!

"Brother Guan, why don't we stop and rest for a while? After all, we've already destroyed two countries."

After a long and arduous journey, coupled with continuous battles, Suo Chao suggested that Guan Sheng stop and rest.

But Guan Sheng refused. He said to Suo Chao:

"As the saying goes, one must press on with one's might, for the second attempt will be less effective, and the third attempt will be exhaustive. We cannot stop now, because if we stop, the morale of the army will be affected."

"Brother, hang in there a little longer, let's destroy one more country, and then we'll rest!"

When Chikugo Province surrendered, it was already dark. Sekikatsu simply told everyone to rest on the spot, eat, and drink water. Then he called Takeshita Shun over to ask about the next route.

Takeshita Shun told him:

"General, there are two paths now: one is to attack Hizen Province, and the other is to attack Higo Province. I wonder which one you intend to take?"

Which of these two countries is easier to attack?

Guan Sheng did some calculations and concluded that since Chikugo Province was currently in a chaotic state with no leader, the best solution was for Liangshan to temporarily take over its administration.

Therefore, he planned to leave a battalion of troops behind, using Chikugo Castle as a base, to first stabilize the situation in the country.

Based on this calculation, he only had a little over 2,300 soldiers at his disposal.

"Personally, I think the general should attack Hizen Province first. Judging from the strength of the country, it is easier to deal with."

During the battle in Chikugo Province, Takeshita Shun was completely impressed by Seki Katsu's godlike performance. Now, he is Seki Katsu's biggest fan!

"Alright! Let's attack it!"

Guan Sheng immediately made the decision! After dinner, the group immediately set off for Hizen Province!

It can only be said that Guan Sheng and his men ran fast, because in the middle of the night on the same day they set off, Lu Junyi and Pang Wanchun's troops also followed the trail of the great battle and arrived at the capital of Chikugo Province!

"Chief Lu? What brings you here?"

When Guan Sheng's men, who were left to guard Chikugo Province, saw that the cavalry leader Lu Junyi had arrived, they were all dumbfounded.

"The chieftain ordered me to lead men to support you, but where is your commander? What happened here? Did you cause all this?"

Lu Junyi's journey through Chikugo Province was not fast, as the country was embroiled in a civil war, resulting in refugees lining both sides of the road. Lu Junyi had to temporarily adopt the Liangshan military control measures along the way to stabilize the civilians.

When he arrived at the palace, he found that even more people had died near the palace, and the surrounding area was filled with Liangshan soldiers settling the local residents and cleaning up the mess.

Seeing such a large scene, Lu Junyi was also worried about Guan Sheng.

Is this guy really going to become a butcher and just hack and slash his way through the land?

"Reporting to Chief Lu, no, it's not that. Their country has experienced a rebellion. They're fighting amongst themselves, and it's quite a big fight. Our Ma 10th Legion is just helping them quell the rebellion!"

"Look, to thank Liangshan for quelling the rebellion, they surrendered immediately!"

Lu Junyi shook his head. Who would believe that?

"to be honest."

"Yes, that's the truth..."

Helpless, Guan Sheng, the commander of the battalion left behind, could only tell Lu Junyi about Fujiwara Ryuji's situation.

"Chief Lu, we weren't lying, they really are in internal strife!"

After he finished speaking, he looked a little aggrieved.

"Pretending? You've destroyed two countries in just one day, that's such a great achievement, what are you complaining about? Hmm? Where is your commander now?"

Lu Junyi laughed and scolded.

"Well, I'm not too sure either. He went with that guide, it seems, it seems like they went to Hizen Province."

The battalion commander who stayed behind scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

"Wan Chun, leave one battalion behind to help them control the situation here. The rest of you continue to pursue Brother Guan Sheng."

Lu Junyi didn't waste any words. He simply refused to believe that Guan Sheng could run so fast that he couldn't catch up with him.

At that moment, Guan Sheng's team arrived at a stronghold in Hizen Province.

Hizen Province has a large territory, and there are strongholds for defense in front of their capital!

"Who is this?!"

Because Guan Sheng's army was carrying torches, they looked like a fire dragon in the dark night, which alerted the garrison at the Hizen Province stronghold.

"We are a force from Tsukushi Province! We are currently conducting military training nearby!"

Takeshita Shun came out and said.

"Tsukushi Province? Chikuzen and Chikugo have merged? Then how are you training your troops on my Hizen Province's territory? Retreat immediately!"

The outpost garrison replied.

"We can't return it. There's something I need your cooperation on!"

Takeshita Shun also responded loudly.

"what's up?"

The people inside the stronghold were clearly getting impatient.

"One of our soldiers has gone missing here! We need to search your base!"

Takeshita Shun took a deep breath and answered loudly!

"Baka! What are you saying?! Are you trying to start a war between the two countries?!"

The people inside the stronghold were furious when they heard this!

"Enough with the nonsense! Fire the arrows!"

At this moment, Guan Sheng, who had been hiding in the back, rode out and shot the garrison commander on the stronghold with an arrow, while signaling the whole army to fire arrows!

In an instant, hundreds of arrows flew straight towards the Hizen stronghold under the cover of night!

You won't listen to reason, huh? Then let's hit you!
