Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Not only has Guan Sheng not been found, but my second senior brother is also missing?"

The royal palace of Tsukushi Kingdom was brightly lit at this time, because Ren Yuan and his group had just arrived from Tsukushi Port.

Then came some not-so-good news.

Guan Sheng was not found, and Lu Junyi was also missing!

"So you all really like imitating Huo Biaoyao, huh? Is it because Pei Xuan isn't here this time that you're all ready to let loose?"

Ren Yuan no longer believes that they are lost.

These kids are just letting loose because Pei Xuan isn't here and nobody's watching them!

"Brother, this is a good thing. This will definitely speed up our attack on the island. Maybe we can take it in less than a month."

Xiao Jiahui looked at the map with great confidence.

"If we can wipe out two small countries in one day, even if there are two large countries that are not easy to deal with quickly, if we maintain this efficiency, I estimate that this island should be completely resolved in just twenty days."

"Brother, this is great news! You might be able to unify the entire island! We can start preparing for the Korean offensive!"

"Old Xiao, it's easy to take over territory, but it's not easy to digest that territory."

Ren Yuan shook his head.

Of Japan's four main islands, he currently only plans to take over Kyushu Island and develop it into a resource island. In the future, the main gathering place for Liangshan's forces will still be the entire Korean Peninsula.

After all, we also have to take into account the impact of earthquakes and volcanoes!

However, it was Ren Yuan who valued the resources of Kyushu Island.

As the industrial and food warehouse of the entire country, Kyushu Island has a lot of arable land, abundant forestry and fishery resources, good iron ore (accounting for 10% of the country's total), and the largest reserves of coal resources (accounting for 50%).

Therefore, Ren Yuan has already decided to make this place his future forging base.

Tang Long will definitely love it here!

As for the manpower for mining, it's these ordinary men who live their lives like ordinary folks; they're destined to be miners for life.

As for how many of them will survive after leaving the mine, that's not up to Ren Yuan to decide.

"Brother, don't think too much right now. Let's take it first. We have plenty of people, we just don't have enough land. Once we have territory, you'll have plenty of room to eat."

Hsiao Chia-hui said that her brother is good in every way, but sometimes he is a bit too cautious.

"Alright, from now on, I'll leave everything on this island to you. I'll take Guanzhong to Korea, and you stay here and handle everything on the island perfectly for me, okay?"

"Oh dear, brother, I think Guanzhong called me just now. I guess it's something urgent. I'll head out now."

Xiao Jiasui decisively ran away. Seriously, he didn't earn his title of "Number One Lazybones of Liangshan" for nothing. Did they think he'd stay on an island obediently? Dream on.

Ren Yuan watched Xiao Jiahui run away, smiled helplessly, and didn't say anything more.

After all, even he himself didn't want to stay on Kyushu Island for too long, let alone his men.

Although Guan Sheng and his team's blitzkrieg was beyond Ren Yuan's expectations, it did buy him a lot of valuable time!

If we can conquer Kyushu within a month, then Liangshan can march into Goryeo before autumn this year!

If we attack Goryeo in the autumn, moving from south to north and avoiding the coldest season, we will have a much better chance of winning!

Moreover, autumn is the harvest season, and the local grain harvest in Goryeo is also plentiful, which is a great supplement to the Liangshan army's food supplies!

Damn, thinking about it like that, I'm starting to get excited too? Maybe I should secretly lead a group out to fight a battle?

"Ahem, brother, were you thinking of sneaking out just now?"

Seeing Ren Yuan staring at the map silently, his expression shifting, Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but speak up.

"Huh? No, how could that be? I'm the commander-in-chief. How could a commander-in-chief secretly lead his men into battle and cause everyone worry? That's so irresponsible, are you even human?"

Ren Yuan's thoughts were seen through by Xu Guanzhong, but he refused to admit it no matter what.

"Yes, as long as you know what's going on, brother. First, you are the commander-in-chief and cannot act rashly. Second, you don't have any children yet, and if something happens to you, it will have a great impact on Liangshan. Third, before we left, Brother Pei Xuan instructed me to keep a close eye on you..."

Xu Guanzhong was nagging Ren Yuan with a serious expression. Ren Yuan had no way to deal with him and could only smile and nod repeatedly to show that he was listening attentively.

Hsiao Chia-Sui, now I understand why you were so completely controlled by Hsu Kuan-Chung!

……

Buzen Province.

Mi Sheng has already removed all the floor tiles from the entire palace, after all, they're all pure silver!

Meanwhile, Shan Shiqi was cursing and swearing with a disgruntled expression!

"Lao Shan, what are you cursing about?"

Feeling quite pleased with his "return with a full load," Mi Sheng couldn't help but ask his good brother a question when he saw him like this.

"Old Hei, you've come at the right time! This damned tunnel, not a single one of our group can get in! Not even the shortest or the thinnest! Your group has many hunters, is there anyone who can get in?"

Shan Shiqi called Mi Sheng over to inspect the tunnel.

"Old Shan, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you really have to go through this tunnel?"

Mi Sheng strolled over, looked at the tunnel, and even gestured a couple of times before suddenly asking Shan Shiqi a question.

"Don't you want to go inside and see where this tunnel leads? So you can catch up with and capture that king!"

Shan Shiqi looked regretful. If they could capture that king, it would be a great achievement!

"So you insist on digging a tunnel to catch me? Are you stupid?"

Mi Sheng rolled his eyes at Shan Shiqi, then asked the servant:

"I ask you, where is the exit of this tunnel? And where do you think your king could escape to?"

"Well, I don't know where this exit is, but it should be on the border with Bungo Province. Our lord will probably go directly to Bungo Province to take refuge..."

The servant thought for a moment and then answered.

Do you know where the border is?

"I don't know the specifics, but I know the general location."

“Take us directly there, capture your king, and we’ll give you credit and a reward! The floor tiles I just dug out of your palace are all silver; here’s one for you.”

"Hi! Hi!"

The servants immediately became excited!

He knew, of course, the weight of that floor tile, and the thought of receiving such a great reward suddenly gave him a lot of motivation!

"You're pretty good, Old Black!"

Seeing Mi Sheng's actions, Shan Shiqi immediately looked at his good brother with new respect!

No wonder Strategist Wen often said that although his brother didn't study very hard, he still had talent!

"My brother always says that we should use our brains more and not act recklessly. Lao Shan, you have to work hard, otherwise we won't be able to team up anymore."

Mi Sheng patted Shan Shiqi's arm and said in a "meaningful" but "slightly disdainful" tone.

"Hey, you're getting cocky because I said you're fat?"

Shan Shiqi was delighted and kicked him!

"I'll dodge!"

But Mi Sheng easily dodged Shan Shiqi's kick!

Just kidding, Zhang Qing's stones have a hard time hitting him, why would he be afraid of Shan Shiqi's kick?
