Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Kill!"

On the battlefield at this moment, Ren Yuan took the lead and charged forward at great speed! Under the Three-Pointed Blade, no one could withstand him!

There was nothing they could do; the Jade Lion Horse they were riding was just too fast.

Xu Guanzhong was caught off guard and Ren Yuan rushed out, and there was no way to pull him back.

Watching Ren Yuan's retreating figure, Xu Guanzhong quickly told Lü Fang and Guo Sheng to chase after him. Then, after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't safe, so he followed along himself!

While chasing, Xu Guanzhong thought to himself, "I can't give my brother a horse that's too good. Look at how fast he's charging, it's impossible to stop him!"

At this time, Liangshan was attacking Jinju in Goryeo.

After capturing Jeolla Province, Liangshan divided its forces into two groups. One group, under the command of Xiao Jiasui, resisted and counterattacked the Goryeo people in Yang Gwang Province.

Another force, led by Ren Yuan, launched a preemptive attack on Jinju, Goryeo, in Gyeongsang Province!

Before the enemy in Gyeongsang Province could react, Liangshan had already captured several cities in succession!

Hmm... Of course, they say it's several cities, but it's really just several villages. Those tiny Koreans, so arrogant and ignorant! They have practically no territory, yet they insist on pretending their country is huge. They can even name a village a city! It truly reflects what Ren Yuan heard in his past life:

The bigger your heart, the bigger your territory; the whole universe belongs to you Koreans.

They pushed their way through until they reached this so-called Jinzhou, where they encountered some decent resistance.

Of course, this resistance was only somewhat respectable. In addition, the Liangshan army raised the banner of the Song Dynasty's official army coming to quell the rebellion, which successfully made many of the poorly informed Goryeo natives believe that their king wanted to harm the Song Dynasty, which is why the Song Dynasty's heavenly army had come.

Therefore, the common people of Goryeo did not have a strong will to resist, especially the people of Jeolla Province, who seemed quite willing to see Wang Yu overthrown.

Ren Yuan was a little curious. Wasn't Wang Yu supposed to be a decent ruler among the Goryeo monarchs? Why didn't Jeolla Province pay much attention to him?

After asking some local people, everyone understood that although Wang Yu was a good man, he treated the people of the whole country differently depending on their region.

The people in the capital Gaegyeong and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province were treated as the first class by King Yu. They received the best treatment and were the richest people in all of Goryeo.

The further away from the capital, the lower their status and the poorer they become.

Jeolla Province is the southernmost part of Goryeo and the farthest from the capital. Because of the Honam Plain, Goryeo's largest grain-growing area, the people here have to work day and night to provide enough food for the Goryeo upper class.

The Goryeo upper class treated Jeolla Province as nothing more than country bumpkins, a situation that had persisted throughout Im Won's previous life.

Another point is that Wang Yu's ancestors also obtained their positions illegitimately.

After Jeolla Province was captured, Heo Gwan-chung also found information about Wang Yu's ancestors in some local historical records:

In 918 AD, Wang Jian, the Guangping Shizhong (equivalent to prime minister) under the Taifeng monarch Gongyi, rebelled due to his dissatisfaction with Gongyi's rule.

With the help of four cavalry generals, Hong Ru, Pei Xuanqing, Shen Chongqian, and Bu Zhiqian, Wang Jian overthrew the rule of Gong Yi and exiled the descendants of the Gong family!

Then, these four cavalry generals jointly supported Wang Jian as the new king, who was crowned with a yellow robe, and the country was named Goryeo with the reign title of Tianshou! In 933, he accepted the investiture from the Later Tang Dynasty and officially became the King of Goryeo, thus beginning the Goryeo era of the Wang family.

After hearing about this, Ren Yuan even made a comment:

"From this perspective, the establishment of the Wang family's kingdom is just the Korean version of the Song Dynasty's kingdom! Both were cases of traitors within the family seizing power."

No wonder Emperor Huizong and Prince Yu had such a good relationship; it turns out their ancestors shared a common language and experiences!

The descendants of the Gong family, after being exiled, are said to have ended up in the vicinity of Jeolla Province, so the Goryeo people of Jeolla Province were looked down upon even more by the people of Gyeonggi Province.

"Brother! The strategist tells you to stop chasing the enemy and come back to the central camp with us!"

Ren Yuan also completed his kill of 100 Goryeo people today. Just as he was pausing to adjust, Lü Fang and Guo Sheng finally caught up with their personal guards.

"Have you seen that city? They're already at the gates of Jinzhou. If we don't chase them now, when will we?"

Ren Yuan was overjoyed to see Lü Fang and Guo Sheng arrive!

Good timing! Come with me for a little longer!

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng grinned. Of course, they were very willing to follow their brother into battle, but the problem was that their strategist disagreed!

"Brother, you've been incredibly brave today. Let's wait until we attack Tokyo in Korea before charging in. Brother Lingzhen's cannons are already being assembled, but if you charge in, Brother Lingzhen won't dare use them!"

See, as soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, Xu Guanzhong arrived and immediately advised Ren Yuan to return.

"Okay, I know you're worried about me, I'll go back now."

Ren Yuan looked at the fleeing Koreans. Although he still felt a little regretful that he hadn't quite gotten his fill, the hundred-man kill was already complete, and it wasn't a bad idea to stop here for today.

Next time, next time when Guan Zhong isn't paying attention, he'll go and complete the thousand-man kill!

"Brother, are you already thinking about what you'll do next time...?"

Looking at Ren Yuan's expression, Xu Guanzhong felt both amused and exasperated.

This brother is good in every way, except that sometimes he is a bit reckless about his own safety. Now he is not just a simple bandit leader, but a potential founder of a nation!

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Ren Yuan quickly waved his hand, denying it three times in a row, and then continued speaking to Xu Guanzhong:

"Guanzhong, see that Jinzhou City? Have Lingzhen bring the cannons up there. In a siege, we should use cannons to bombard the city first! Don't be stingy with cannonballs. If we run out of thunderclap bombs, have the navy bring more from Jeju Island. Recover any stone projectiles that can be recovered, and transport any that can't be recovered!"

"Remember! Our lives are more valuable! Blow them up!"

"Don't worry, brother. Brother Ling Zhen knows what he's doing. As long as you don't foolishly rush out, Brother Ling Zhen will definitely be able to smash down this Jinzhou city wall!"

Xu Guanzhong was somewhat helpless against Ren Yuan, mainly because Ren Yuan's martial arts skills were now beyond Xu Guanzhong's ability to suppress alone. In addition, the Jade Lion was simply too fast; once Ren Yuan charged, the others could only follow behind and eat his dust.

This is a headache. Who is the leader of this major power to lead the charge?

"Yes, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King..."

Ren Yuan attempted to refute, but was interrupted by Xu Guanzhong:

"So the Overlord ultimately lost, and Yu Ji died in his arms."

Ren Yuan fell silent, indicating that he was a good boy and would do whatever the strategist said!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

After this brief incident, the Liangshan army completed the encirclement of Jinzhou City. Ling Zhen also became ruthless, leading the Shenji Legion to assemble forty Thunder Cannons and launch a continuous bombardment of Jinzhou City!

Anyway, my brother said, don't be stingy with the shells, blast them to smithereens!

The Koreans had never seen such a scene before. They even thought that the Song army in front of them was a heavenly army descended to earth, otherwise how could there be a meteor to help them?

Jinju City, known as one of the three major cities in Gyeongsang Province, collapsed in less than an hour under the bombardment of the Divine Machine Legion!

"Everyone has it!"

The moment the city wall collapsed, Ren Yuan raised his hand high, ready to rally his men to charge!

However, Ren Yuan soon found that his reins were being pulled. When he turned his head, Xu Guanzhong was staring at him with a warning in his eyes.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Ahem, all troops! Each legion, follow your commander! Charge!"
