Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The news that Li Zhu had stayed in Liangshan spread throughout the stronghold the next day.

The people from Huaixi were incredulous. After sobering up, they rushed to the back mountain to find out if it was true.

When they saw that familiar Taoist robe, they were overjoyed.

Strategist Li Zhu was one of the people they relied on and respected the most over the years! In their hearts, Li Zhu's status was almost equal to that of Wang Qing.

Now that even strategist Li has come, it proves that their decision to join Liangshan was the right one!

If even the strategist thinks Liangshan is good, then Liangshan really is good!

Of course, everyone was very perceptive and didn't ask Li Zhu what exactly happened in Huaixi. It was only after seeing his brothers comforting him that Li Zhu was deeply moved and then told them everything that had happened in Huaixi.

After he finished speaking, these brothers from Huaixi were all furious and started cursing Wang Qing!

It's no wonder they're cursing; what Wang Qing did was truly utterly despicable!

He treated the lives of his own brothers as a means to advance his career. His position as a fifth-rank military commander was earned at the cost of the lives of countless brothers in Huaixi!

"I was so blind back then, thinking I could build a great career with him!"

"That's right! What a heroic man Wei Erge was, and he lost his life because of that grandson Wang Qing! It's so frustrating!"

"Strategist, don't worry, we'll work hard at Liangshan from now on! Sooner or later, we'll settle accounts with Wang Qing!"

"That's right, that's right! Don't worry, strategist, with your abilities, you'll definitely do very well at Liangshan!"

……

The crowd first scolded Wang Qing, but then, seeing that Li Zhu looked unwell, they immediately started to comfort him.

Looking at these adorably simple-minded brothers, Li Zhu's worries dissipated somewhat.

Although these brothers may seem a bit simple-minded, they are all good-hearted and have not lost heart because of the fall of Huaixi, which is the most important thing!

If they have this kind of spirit, they will definitely be able to accomplish great things in Liangshan!

……

The duty station of the Liangshan strategist.

"Fellow Daoists, Liu Min has already been appointed as our strategist. So, what about this Mr. Golden Sword?"

The three military strategists left behind at Liangshan are discussing Li Zhu's situation.

The question was asked by Zhu Wu, because Li Zhu was a member of the Taoist sect, as were Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing, so Zhu Wu was asking for their opinions.

Of course, Zhu Wu himself usually dressed as a Taoist priest, so he could be considered half a Taoist priest.

“This Mr. Jin Jian is a strategist in Huaixi. We can’t let him lose face here. In my opinion, he should be a strategist too.”

Gongsun Sheng said that adding one or two strategists is the same as adding two strategists, so adding another strategist is no problem.

“I have no objection. Anyway, there are nine Big Dippers. Besides the seven of us, there are also Dongming and Yinyuan, which can be left for Liu Min and Li Zhu.”

Qiao Daoqing had considered even more, and had even thought of the asterisks for Liu Min and Li Zhu!

"Daoqing, why do you still look so regretful?"

Gongsun Sheng joked.

"Sigh, Yiqing, you know me well. Before, in order to deal with Li Zhu, I asked Brother Tang Long to create a brand new Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Shield, which used up all the treasures I had accumulated before."

"Now that he's one of our own, all that shield I used was for nothing!"

Qiao Daoqing was somewhat disappointed that the thing he had created was now useless!

"It's not a free fight. You can go and spar with him; it's still usable."

Zhu Wu laughed when he heard this. He thought Qiao Daoqing didn't welcome Li Zhu, but it turned out he was just afraid that his shield would be used for nothing!

"Okay, I'll go find him and have a match another day."

Qiao Daoqing thought Zhu Wu's words made sense and immediately became happy.

"Brother... are you looking for me?"

Just as Qiao Daoqing finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the doorway of the duty station.

Everyone looked up and saw Li Zhuzheng, led by Shi Qian and Liu Min, walking into the strategist's office.

“All the strategists are here. I’ll show Mr. Jin Jian the way. After all, he’ll be dealing with things here a lot in the future, so it’ll be good for him to get familiar with the route first.”

Shi Qian said with a smile, clearly having heard what Qiao Daoqing had just said.

There's a friendly competition to watch! That's great!

For a moment, everyone looked at Qiao Daoqing, wanting to know what he would say.

Feeling a little embarrassed by the stares of everyone, Qiao Daoqing coughed twice to cover his awkwardness, then stood up, bowed to Assistant Li, and said:

"Ahem, Brother Li, I have long admired your Golden Sword Technique. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you for some guidance."

"Military Advisor Qiao is too kind. It's perfectly fine for brothers to spar with each other."

Li Zhu smiled. Now that he was already in Liangshan, he didn't mind becoming friends with the former Liangshan leaders.

As the old saying goes, "No fight, no friendship." Since Qiao Daoqing wants to fight, then let's fight!

As for the result of this sparring match... well, judging from their expressions afterward, it was a draw.

Of course, the Liangshan leaders later learned that Mr. Golden Sword, Li Zhu, also had some martial arts skills...

A few days later, in Goryeo, Jinju City.

"Wang Qing has surrendered to the imperial court? Boss Du and his men have come to Liangshan?"

Ren Yuan, who had ordered the entire army to rest after capturing Jinzhou, was particularly shocked when he received the news from Liangshan!

WTF?

Wang Qing, have you surrendered to the imperial court?

How long have you been king?

Is the power of the "white moonlight" (a term referring to someone who is deeply loved and cherished) really that strong?

Xu Guanzhong was also somewhat surprised by the news of Huaixi's surrender.

He originally thought that among the three remaining bandit leaders of the Song Dynasty, Tian Hu would be the first to fall. But who could have imagined that Wang Qing would surrender to the imperial court for the sake of a woman?

"To be honest, although this guy is addicted to living off women, he is actually quite devoted."

"I also have to thank him. If he hadn't come, Boss Du and the others wouldn't have been able to come to Liangshan."

After regaining his composure, Ren Yuan was quite satisfied with this wave of talent he had recruited from Huaixi.

"Brother, Zhu Wu and the others said they've given Huai Xi two military advisor positions and two legion commander positions, and they're waiting for your approval."

Xu Guanzhong nodded repeatedly as he looked at the arrangements made by Zhu Wu and the other two for the generals in Huaixi.

"Yes! Absolutely! We already have seven strategists, which is not enough. Adding two more seats is no problem!"

Ren Yuan waved his hand and approved it directly!

"Besides, the stone tablet that Fang La gave us used the Big Dipper to correspond to your strategists. That's perfect. There are still two spots left in the Big Dipper, so it's just right to put Li Zhu and Liu Min in there."

"Moreover, both Li Zhu and Liu Min have the ability to govern a region, which is exactly what we need at this stage!"

Currently, Liangshan has many great generals. Especially after the news of Guan Sheng's entry into the top ranks came back, Ren Yuan was no longer so excited about the Liangshan generals.

But the arrival of two capable civil officials is extremely important to Liangshan!

"Brother, now that Huaixi has been destroyed, we need to speed things up. Otherwise, the two friends left in the Song Dynasty probably won't last long."

Hsu Kuan-chung said, "We need to speed up our attack on Korea!"

"That's right, Guanzhong. Right now, Tian Hu and Fang La are definitely cursing Wang Qing nonstop..."
