Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

While Misa and Sanshiki were conquering Hyuga Province, Osumi Province and Satsuma Province were also taken over by Deng Yuanjue and the Ma brothers!

These two countries were the weakest on the island, with depleted military forces. In normal times, they could only wave flags, shout slogans, and stand in line in the command system.

This time, they encountered Deng Yuanjue and the Ma brothers, who were eager to make a name for themselves, and their city defenses were simply no match for them.

Moreover, with Bian Xiang providing support behind these two groups, there's even less of a problem.

In just three days, the last three countries were occupied one after another, and the guardian families were wiped out. Thus, the entire Kyushu Island was taken over by the Liangshan army!

After everyone had conquered the country and settled down, they immediately sent people towards Higo Province, because they firmly believed that Ren Yuan should have already taken over Higo Province.

"Leave enough people to manage this; the rest of you come back with me to report to my brother!"

Miyuki and Sanji also led their troops back. They were the first to arrive at the assembly point before the division of forces. This was the meeting point of the three countries of Hyuga, Ōsumi, and Satsuma. A little to the northwest from here was the border of Higo Province.

"Old Shan, it seems we've arrived too early. Or perhaps something happened to the master and the others, causing a delay?"

Seeing that there was no one at the rendezvous point, Mi Sheng was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, Hyuga Country has such a large territory, and they have already occupied and initially stabilized it. The other two small countries shouldn't be taking so long.

"Let's wait a bit. It's better if we go back to see our brother together. As for an accident, that's impossible. They're not capable of having an accident here."

Shan Shiqi had great confidence in Deng Yuanjue and his team's abilities, and he didn't think anything unexpected would happen on a small island.

What's more, Bian Xiang is there too!

Mi Sheng nodded in agreement. Indeed, there was no need to worry too much.

The two waited for about half an hour when suddenly, they heard commotion from the directions of the two countries. Dust rose from the roads, and they could sense that a large army was approaching!

"Master Yuanjue has arrived!"

"The Ma brothers have also arrived."

Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi immediately perked up, and soon after, everyone gathered together and exchanged pleasantries.

"Brother Bian Xiang, thank you very much this time."

Mi Sheng thanked Bian Xiang. Although he was the commander-in-chief this time, after the division of troops, Bian Xiang took the initiative to divide the troops a second time so that the other brothers could get credit, which made the battle much easier.

"We're brothers, no need for thanks. Let's go, we'll go back together."

Bian Xiang said that they are all family and there is no need to be so clear about it. Besides, his legion has assisted in two national annihilation operations, so he has not suffered any losses.

The group joined forces and headed north along the road. Before long, they arrived at a pass. Everyone had excellent eyesight. This was the most important pass in the south of Higo Province, and now the Liangshan flag was flying over it!

"Look, that's our Liangshan flag!"

"It's not just our Liangshan banner, it's Master Lu's Vajra Regiment!"

Yes, after Ren Yuan occupied Higo Province, his brothers sent out their troops to stabilize the country. The pass in the south of Higo Province connected three countries and was very important, so Lu Zhishen's army was personally in charge.

At this moment, the men who had closed the gate also discovered Mi Sheng and his men.

"Is it Marshal Mi Sheng and the other leaders?"

Because Mi Sheng was now acting as a commander of a branch, the Liangshan soldiers on the city wall shouted it out.

"Yes, it's us! We'll open the pass and go back to tell our brother!"

Mi Sheng stepped forward and spoke out.

"Alright, Marshal, please wait a moment, I'll open it for you right away!"

The soldiers on the city wall laughed and replied that they were not worried at all that the people below were imposters. First, everyone spoke Chinese; second, everyone knew what a Mi Sheng looked like; and third, there were no Japanese pirates tall enough to impersonate Mi Sheng.

As the pass opened, the group entered, chatting and laughing. At that moment, they suddenly felt like they were coming home.

Even though they are still overseas, far from their homeland, they have a sense of belonging.

"So, this island now belongs to Liangshan! Brother, you're the island's owner now, aren't you?"

The group chatted as they walked.

"Yes, it really feels a bit unreal. We actually took over this island just like that!"

Bian Xiang was particularly moved. He remembered that back then, he was Tian Hu's envoy, running around trying to win people over. If he hadn't met Wen Huanzhang, he would probably be fighting with Tian Hu and Tong Guan in Hebei now!

How could things have turned out like this, breaking out of the Song Dynasty and conquering such a large island overseas!

"Brother said this island is about six times the size of Liangshan Marsh. Does that mean we'll have to move the people here later?"

Ma Jiang voiced his doubts.

"Probably not."

Deng Yuanjue replied.

"Master, why do you say that?"

Ma Jin was very curious.

"Have you forgotten your brother's strategy? Attacking Jeju and Kyushu is all preparation for attacking Goryeo later."

Deng Yuanjue explained:

"Jeju Island is home to horse farms and local people, while Kyushu Island is mainly for mining. In the future, our troops will be stationed there permanently, and the prisoners from the labor camps will be placed together with the local people to mine gold, silver, coal, iron, and other resources that we need."

"As for the common people, we'll probably settle them there after we take over the whole of Goryeo. After all, Goryeo is closer to our homeland."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Deng Yuanjue's words.

"Master, do you think my brother will let us attack Goryeo directly this time? Or should we go back to the mountain?"

"I don't know about that. I guess we'll have to wait for the strategist's instructions. But even if we have to fight Goryeo, we're not afraid."

Deng Yuanjue's eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit.

"The Japanese pirates are really terrible. I hope the natives of Goryeo won't disappoint me."

"I heard that the King of Goryeo imitated our Song Dynasty and also established many circuits and prefectures, and even a capital city called Tokyo."

San Shiqi was, after all, from a wealthy family and had read many books, so he had some understanding of Goryeo.

"Korea also has a Tokyo?"

This news surprised the other leaders, mainly because they never expected that Goryeo, such a small place, would actually follow the example of the Song Dynasty and establish Tokyo.

"Yes, my brother always says that it's just a place that's arrogant and ignorant. Let's take down this fake Tokyo first, and then we'll go and take down the real Tokyo a few years later!"

"Well said! Let's practice with a fake one first!"

"That's right! That's it!"

……

At this moment, Ren Yuan was unaware that he had become the master of the entire Kyushu Island. He was in the royal palace of Higo Province, discussing the next steps with Xiao Jiahui and Xu Guanzhong.

"Gentlemen, tell me, what's the next step? Should we attack Korea directly?"

Ren Yuan looked at the map, still weighing his options.

Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong exchanged a glance and then said to Ren Yuan respectively:

"Brother, speed is of the essence in war. I suggest we attack Goryeo immediately! After all, we don't know how long Tian Hu's group can hold out against the Song court's attack."

"Brother, don't worry about not having enough troops. We can notify the old general's Pinghai Army to come and help us garrison Kyushu Island, and then we'll march on Goryeo. We can also have the mountain stronghold send reserve troops to supplement our ranks!"

"Brother, don't hesitate! It's just a small Goryeo, attack it! Attack it to the death!"
