Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Where are we now?

At sea, Ren Yuan and Xiao Jiasui were looking at a nautical chart.

"We're in Jeolla Province right ahead! We haven't gone the wrong way, don't worry, brother."

The situation on Kyushu Island has now largely stabilized.

The former capital of Higo Province, which later became Kumamoto City, is now the administrative center of Kyushu Island.

Ren Yuan established the Kyushu Protectorate here to manage the entire island.

However, this Protectorate is currently just an empty shell, because Liangshan only has military officers and not enough civil officials to fill it.

Fortunately, this was just a resource island, so there wasn't much need for complicated civilian affairs. After weighing the options, the Ma brothers temporarily stationed their army on Kyushu Island, implementing militarized management of the entire island. Master Yuanjue also stayed behind temporarily to assist in "converting" some stubborn elements.

Taking into account the island's resources, Ren Yuan specially wrote a letter to the former Tomb Raider General and King of Tomb Raiders, Li Congji, to come out of seclusion, along with his two uncles, Zou Yuan and Zou Run, as well as some blacksmiths under Tang Long, to rush to the island overnight. They would be in charge of some mining matters in the future.

However, to Ren Yuan's surprise, Flying Tiger Hu Cheng also brought three hundred servants to join the operation. In his words, he had to do something, otherwise he wouldn't get as much credit as his sister.

Meanwhile, Hu Yanqipeng's Pinghai Army also arrived smoothly. They rested near Chikushi Port and the Kanmon Strait, ready to attack Honshu Island at any time.

After these matters were settled, Ren Yuan led the others back to Jeju Island. After a brief rest, their target was Goryeo!

Their first target was Jeolla Province in Goryeo!

The reasons for choosing Jeolla Province are not complicated.

First, this area is directly opposite Jeju Island, and taking control of this area is crucial for the security of Jeju Island.

Secondly, Jeolla Province is divided into North and South. In North Jeolla Province, there is the Honam Plain, which later became the largest plain in South Korea!

This plain is located near the Dongjin River and Wanqing River. It is particularly fertile and has a huge grain harvest, earning it the reputation of being a "granary"!

For Chinese people, the saying "When Suzhou and Huzhou are prosperous, the whole country is well-fed" is very familiar. Similarly, in South Korea, when Hunan is prosperous, South Korea is well-fed.

How could Ren Yuan possibly let go of such a grain base?

"Brother, what do you think is the state of those people fighting within the Song Dynasty right now?"

Xiao Jiahui is very relaxed now. He feels no pressure at all and is even eager to take the lead himself.

There was nothing he could do; the campaign on Kyushu Island had gone too smoothly, leaving Xiao Jiasui no room to showcase his talents.

They didn't even get a chance to show off their martial arts skills, what a failure!

"Who knows? When Zhu Wu wrote last time, he said that Tong Guan had directly summoned the Zhe family army. You know the fighting strength of the Zhe family army. I think Tian Hu probably won't be able to hold out for long."

Ren Yuan expressed concern about Tian Hu's situation.

Although Tian Hu was rather dim-witted and not particularly capable, he actually did a very good job as a shield to draw enemy fire.

The fact that the first person to declare himself king distracted the imperial court from most of its attention gave Liangshan the opportunity to develop in secret.

Ren Yuan still felt a little regretful that the shield was about to break down.

"Tian Hu, to be honest, he has some ability, but not much, and he is fond of pleasure. He is definitely no match for the Zhe family army."

Xu Guanzhong added from the side that Tian Hu had recruited Xu Guanzhong many times back then, but Xu Guanzhong resolutely refused.

On one occasion, Tian Hu's men even tried to use force to forcibly take down Xu Guanzhong, but they were utterly defeated by Xu Guanzhong.

"This guy... wait a minute."

Ren Yuan was about to criticize Tian Hu when suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

If I remember correctly, in the original novel, Tian Hu seemed to have considered surrendering to the Liao Kingdom when he was desperate.

Now...

"What's wrong, brother?"

Seeing Ren Yuan's expression turn serious, Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but become serious as well.

"Guanzhong, Lao Xiao, what do you think? If Tian Hu can't defeat the Zhe family army, will he seek outside help?"

Ren Yuan said slowly.

"Does my brother mean... the Liao Dynasty? Or the Jurchen?"

Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui are indeed among the most intelligent people in the world; they immediately understood Ren Yuan's meaning.

"That bastard Tian Hu, if he really betrayed the country, we can't let him get away with it!"

Xiao Jiasui hates traitors the most, after all, his blood has been flowing with the blood of fighting against foreign races since his ancestors!

"Therefore, we need to act quickly; we must at least take over the entire South Korea first!"

"Yes!"

The fleet was moving very fast, and soon they could see land!

Ren Yuan checked the map, and if he remembered correctly, this area was the Haenam County of the later Korean Kingdom!

"on!"

Without wasting words, Ren Yuan directly issued the attack order. Upon hearing the order, Ling Zhen's Divine Machine Legion immediately requested permission to prepare the Thunder Cannons.

"Brother, it seems there are no defenders on the shore, so the Thunder Cannon won't be very effective."

Ling Zhen stated that no buildings similar to those at Chikushi Port were found on the shore, so the effectiveness of the Thunder Cannon would be diminished.

"Then have Wan Chun's troops prepare, get their light crossbows ready! They can sweep through at any time!"

Ren Yuan valued Goryeo more than Kyushu, because Goryeo, under the rule of Wang Yu at that time, was not weak at all.

……

"Get ashore! Get ashore!"

The warships prepared to dock, and luckily, the area where they were to dock appeared to be a wilderness, uninhabited.

"Disembark! Set up camp! Scouts ahead! Advance fifty li!"

Since there was no one around, Ren Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly ordered each legion to go ashore and set up camp, while sending out scouts to investigate the surrounding area.

"Report! A village has been discovered to the northeast!"

"Report! A large expanse of fields has been discovered to the northwest!"

"Report! There appears to be a cavalry force approaching our army from the due north!"

……

The Liangshan army moved quickly, and after everyone reached the shore, they immediately got to work in an orderly manner.

"Brother, how about letting my Yangyong Legion claim this credit?"

When Yang Zhi heard that a cavalry was approaching, he immediately came over to volunteer for battle.

"Go ahead, but remember to leave some alive. We need to find out what's going on first."

Ren Yuan told him to go wherever he wanted, just not to kill anyone.

"Yes!"

Yang Zhi was overjoyed and immediately led a battalion of men to charge north!

When Yang Zhi rushed over, he was surprised to find that the seventy or eighty cavalrymen coming from the opposite side were quite well-equipped, very much like the army of the Song Dynasty!

They're much stronger than those dwarfs on Chikushi Island!

As expected, my brother was right. Goryeo has been imitating the Central Plains. They have wolfish ambitions and cannot be allowed to live!

At this moment, the Goryeo cavalry that came on patrol also saw Yang Zhi's battalion!

"General, what's going on? Why are there so many cavalrymen suddenly coming to Jeolla Province? Could it be that another general has been secretly raising these troops?"

The Goryeo cavalry were dumbfounded. How could there be so many troops on the other side, with such similar equipment and clothing?

"I do not know either……"

The inspecting general was equally bewildered, but his expression changed drastically the next second!

Because Yang Zhi has already led his men to charge over!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!... Ugh!"

The inspecting general had only shouted twice when he had to clutch his throat and fall off his horse!

Because a long arrow pierced his throat!

Yang Zhi put down his bow and arrow, picked up a spear in one hand and a precious sword in the other, and signaled the whole army to charge!

"Brothers of the Yangyong Legion! Follow me, charge!"
