Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The Great Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty has been in turmoil lately.

Currently, three powerful figures have rebelled simultaneously within the territory, and the imperial court has mobilized more than 300,000 troops to suppress them!

The one who played the longest was Hebei Tianhu.

Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor, was a formidable figure in the Western Army. He had been fighting in Hebei for several months but had failed to capture the area, suffering heavy losses in the process.

Of course, Tian Hu's side wasn't much better off either; both sides had their share of wins and losses.

Even though Tong Guan later transferred some of his trusted men from the Western Army, it only gave him a slight advantage and he couldn't eliminate Tian Hu.

Wang Qing and Fang La had only recently started fighting.

Wang Qing was facing General Liu Falao, a famous general of the Western Army. In terms of command ability, this big shot was definitely superior to Wang Qing.

However, Wang Qing had many fierce generals under his command, and with the help of strategists like Li Zhu and Liu Zhibo, who took advantage of the terrain in Huaixi and deployed troops in a tiered manner to block the attack layer by layer, General Liu Fala realized after a few minor skirmishes that he had met his match.

This Wang Qing truly lives up to his reputation as one of the four great bandits of the Green Forest; his fighting prowess is unmatched by those small villages that surrender at the mere sight of him.

Liu Fa felt it was a pity, because with Wang Qingjun's fighting strength, if they were deployed to the Western Xia battlefield, they would definitely be a formidable force. With his own forces, as well as the Zhong and Zhe families' troops, the destruction of Western Xia should be just around the corner!

Unfortunately, Wang Qing's team is now his enemy!

"General, our vanguard squad has clashed with Wang Qing's scouts in the mountains again. They ambushed us so well that we lost over a hundred men because we were unfamiliar with the terrain."

The two groups have only recently clashed, and large-scale battles at the main force level have not yet fully erupted. The current skirmishes have been relatively small, and both sides are still cautiously probing each other.

"We submitted a memorial to the imperial court, requesting that Wang Qing's family background be investigated again, and if possible, we should try to see if the court could grant him amnesty."

Liu Fa truly valued talent; with such fighting prowess, he should be in my Western Army! Why be a mountain bandit?

This is the situation on Wang Qing's side, while the situation on Jiangnan's side is slightly more complicated.

Because on the very first day Zhang Shuye arrived, a battle involving tens of thousands of people broke out between him and Fang La!

Fang La's Ming Cult had a large number of members, and Zhang Shuye had to conscript laborers along the way. In terms of both the quantity and quality of troops, Zhang Shuye was at a disadvantage.

Therefore, in the first battle between the two sides, Zhang Shuye did indeed suffer a considerable loss at Fang La's hands!

The Ming Cult members, emboldened by their faith, were all fearless and willing to die for the government troops, even if it meant mutual destruction! This was something that Zhang Shuye's army, which had come from afar, had not expected.

But Zhang Shuye was a man of skill. After the first battle, he immediately discovered that the Ming Cult had neither a navy nor warships!

Therefore, he immediately changed his strategy, instead of attacking by land, he used warships as camps and used long-range crossbows to guerrilla warfare against the Ming Cult on the water!

This approach yielded excellent results, because Fang La now truly lacked a naval leader, and the Ming Cult lost control of the river, forcing them to retreat from areas near the river.

Moreover, Zhang Shuye's water fortress was just floating on the river. Even if the Ming Cult members hated these warships to the core, they had no way to stop them from having a navy!

Because we can't hit it!

Fang La was furious. His Ming Cult had dominated Jiangnan for many years, but in the end, it didn't even have a decent navy!

This is simply a shame!

Therefore, Fang La immediately ordered all the brothers in the Ming Cult who knew how to swim to gather together and quickly form a Ming Cult navy to fight against the imperial court!

However, the selection of the commander of the navy could not be finalized for a long time, which gave Fang La a major headache.

He suddenly felt extremely envious of Liangshan, because everyone knew that Liangshan Marsh, with its eight hundred li of water, had an exceptionally powerful navy, including the Three Ruan Brothers, the River Dragon, and the White Streak in the Waves... Fang La felt that if he had such naval leaders, then the imperial court would be nothing but clay chickens and clay dogs!

I don't know how Ren Yuan got so lucky! He actually managed to gather so many expert online trolls!

However, thinking of Ren Yuan, Fang La suddenly remembered that the imperial court had already fought against him and Wang Qing in the past few days. What about Liangshan?

What has Liangshan been up to lately?

Liangshan.

"Stand firm! Put your weight on, don't be limp!"

"You need to use your arm! Don't bend it!"

"Straighten your back, stop slacking off! You must have been slacking off before! How come your back strength is so weak?"

In a martial arts training ground on the back mountain, a young boy was instructing a young man in kung fu.

Yes, you read that right, it's teenagers guiding young people.

This young man was none other than Yue Fei, the junior disciple of the village chief Ren Yuan and a closed-door disciple of Zhou Tong.

This young man was none other than Sai Wenyuan Zhang Yang, who was captured by Liangshan during the attack on Liangshan by Grand Marshal Gao.

After being captured, this young man initially remained defiant, which angered Yue Fei, who happened to be passing by.

Without saying a word, Yue Fei challenged Zhang Yang to a duel, promising that if he won, he could leave Liangshan.

When Zhang Yang saw a child dare to speak to him like that, he was furious. How could he, the dignified Sai Wenyuan, be looked down upon by an eleven or twelve-year-old child?

He then charged forward with his Green Dragon Halberd and engaged Yue Fei in fierce combat.

Zhang Yang, who thought he was sure to win, ended up getting taught a lesson by Yue Fei!

In less than twenty rounds, he was defeated by Yue Fei! He lay face down on the ground, his five hearts pointing upwards.

Zhang Yang felt like the world had collapsed. He had practiced his skills for so long, only to be defeated by a mere teenager!

"Hey, have you given up yet?"

Yue Fei squatted down next to Zhang Yang's head and asked him.

"..."

Zhang Yang remained silent; he felt utterly miserable.

"I think your kung fu is alright. Want to work for me from now on?"

After his fight with Zhang Yang, Yue Fei also became somewhat interested in him.

"Fuck with you?"

Zhang Yang looked at Yue Fei and laughed in anger:

"Who are you? What's your status in Liangshan? You want me to follow you?"

"Me? My name is Yue Fei, and the leader of Liangshan is my senior brother! My master is Zhou Tong! Will you suffer if you follow me?"

Yue Fei laughed. Who didn't know that he, Yue Fei, was the Little Overlord of Liangshan!

"Zhou Tong? That legendary figure in the martial arts world? You're his disciple? Ren Yuan is your senior brother?"

Zhang Yang could hardly believe it.

"Yeah, so what? You don't believe me? Fine, don't believe me then!"

Yue Fei stood up and patted his trouser leg.

If you don't want to work with me, I won't force you.

If my little brother weren't so young, I wouldn't want you at all!

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Yang got up from the ground and looked at Yue Fei:

"I'll follow you! But could you let Master Zhou Tong teach me martial arts?"

"You want to learn martial arts?"

Yue Fei looked at Zhang Yang and suddenly smiled:

"You don't need my master to teach you martial arts. Follow me, and I'll teach you!"

"Can you teach me?"

Zhang Yang looked incredulous.

"Don't believe me if you don't want to, but if you do, come with me!"

Zhang Yang believed it and followed Yue Fei. When his uncle Zhang Kai went up the mountain and saw him, he was shocked to find that his nephew was hanging out with a child! This was unacceptable.

But when he learned that the child was Zhou Tong's last disciple, Zhang Kai's attitude changed instantly!

"Yang'er, learn from them properly! If you don't learn well, don't call yourself a member of the Zhang family!"

Therefore, Zhang Yang followed Yue Fei.

"Pengju, can I take a break?"

On the training ground, Zhang Yang grimaced and struggled to hold on, looking like he might collapse at any moment.

"Zhang Yang, a real man doesn't say he can't do it. Hang in there a little longer!"

With his hands behind his back and a dignified air, Yue Fei solemnly refused Zhang Yang's request.

But in his heart, he was overjoyed.

Hehehe, no wonder my senior brother liked to supervise my practice back then. It turns out this feeling is so comfortable!
