Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Lee Geun-suk played the role of a sycophant exceptionally well, revealing all his secrets in no time.

"Li Genshuo, since you are so loyal, you will lead the army this time. If you can successfully capture Tokyo, I will report to the court and give you a good position."

Ren Yuan also timely offered a pie in the sky.

"Yes, yes! Don't worry, General! The city of Tokyo is being defended by the Li family! My cousin, Li Zimei, is the current governor of Tokyo! As long as I go and persuade him, he will definitely surrender!"

Lee Geun-suk stated, "Tokyo-seong is one of our own! As long as you let me go, there won't be any problems!"

"Alright! Now it's up to you to perform. Don't worry, as long as you do well, our Great Song Dynasty will not treat you unfairly!"

Ren Yuan expressed his "appreciation" for Lee Geun-seok and even gave him great encouragement.

"Brother, do you believe this guy?"

Watching Lee Geun-seok leave happily, Heo Guan-chung asked.

"Well, this guy may be a villain, but even villains have their uses. If he can really open the gates of Tokyo and save our brothers from bloodshed, that would be great, wouldn't it?"

Ren Yuan said that while collaborators and puppet troops are despicable, they are acceptable if they belong to someone else!

"Brother, the Li family's ambitions are probably quite large. Although we can use them, we must be wary."

Hsu Kuan-chung said that the Li family can be used, but how to use them requires careful planning.

"The Li family, Li Ziqian probably wanted to replace Wang Yu a long time ago. Do you think they would be willing to rebel if the Zhao Song Dynasty gave them the title of King of Goryeo?"

Ren Yuan looked at Xu Guanzhong with a smile.

"Understood, it was given to the King of Goryeo by the Song Dynasty."

Xu Guanzhong specifically emphasized the two characters "Zhao Song".

"That's right. If the Li family wants to be the kings of Goryeo, then they should go after the Song Dynasty. What does it have to do with our Liangshan?"

Ren Yuan shrugged. "These traitors, you eat their food, use their money, but you never do anything for them!"

The Li family wants to overthrow Wang Yu, and Liangshan wants to conquer Goryeo. Although their goals are not entirely the same, they have similarities, and in this respect, they can cooperate.

As for what will happen to the Li family after Wang Yu's downfall, that depends on whether the Li family knows what's good for them.

If you know what's good for you, after all, the Lee family is a prestigious family in Goryeo, so you can still use their people to do the work.

If they don't know what's good for them, then the Li family of Renzhou will become just a few lines of small characters on yellowed pages of a book.

"Since you know what you're doing, I'm relieved."

Xu Guanzhong still trusted Ren Yuan. As long as Ren Yuan didn't cause any problems in the big picture, the strategists could make up for the minor issues.

Ren Yuan quickly dispatched a team of scouts to Li Genshuo, instructing him to lead men to Tokyo to persuade him to surrender.

Lee Geun-seok gladly accepted the order. In his view, as long as he did a good job this time, his influence in the family would definitely increase significantly in the future. Once Wang Yu fell from power, he would definitely be able to obtain a good position!

So he was very patient along the way. At each important place, he would explain in detail to the scouts around him, and he would answer any questions the scouts had in great detail.

This made the scouts a little embarrassed.

They didn't have much affection for Lee Geun-suk to begin with, thinking he was just a lackey.

But they're so incredibly enthusiastic right now! Look at their attitude, so warm and respectful... it makes you feel really comfortable!

Moreover, every time the scouts saw Li Genshuo trying his best to explain things that no one understood in the official language of the Song Dynasty, they had the illusion that Li Genshuo was one of their own.

"Brothers, Tokyo is just ahead."

Korea was very large; so large that it was once the origin of the entire universe.

Goryeo was also very small. So small that, although the scouts had marked the locations of several prefectures on the map along the route from Jinju to Tokyo, they had actually only been traveling for less than half a day.

"Lee Geun-seok, are you sure it's okay for you to go knock on the door?"

"The scout captain asked."

"Don't worry, brothers, I wouldn't lie to the commander. You can come in with me in a bit, and I promise you'll have a good time too!"

Lee Geun-suk patted his chest.

"There's no need for that. We have military law, and it's still wartime, so military law prohibits it."

The scout captain declared, "We are staunch Liangshan warriors, don't try to tempt us with any kind of enjoyment!"

"Brother, the commander isn't here, so it's okay to enjoy yourself secretly, right?"

Lee Geun-suk said, "Are you guys really that rule-abiding?"

"This is our principle."

The scout captain stated that matters of principle are matters of principle.

"People say that the Song army is undisciplined, but today it seems that this is largely untrue!"

Lee Geun-suk was filled with respect for the scout captain. Goodness, even a scout is so disciplined. No wonder this army is so powerful!

This general must be a very famous general from the Song Dynasty!

However, this general looked exceptionally young, and none of the Song generals that Li Genshuo had heard of matched him. Could it be that this general was a successor secretly being groomed by a military family in the Song Dynasty?

Look at the discipline of the troops under this general, who would dare to say that the Song Dynasty's military equipment is inadequate?

We must not underestimate the Song Dynasty!

The scout captain never expected that simply adhering to the Liangshan military discipline would cause Li Genshuo to think so much.

"Brother, I still don't know what our commander's name is!"

Lee Geun-suk suddenly asked the scout.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Also, this is our commander, not yours."

The scout captain glanced at Li Genshuo. What was wrong with this guy? He had just thought Li Genshuo was quite sensible, but now he was asking about his own chieftain's whereabouts.

"Brother, brother, no, we're about to be family, I just wanted to know what the commander's name is, nothing more."

Lee Geun-suk was startled by the scout captain's reaction, thinking he had done something wrong, and quickly explained.

"Don't think too much. Just work hard for the commander-in-chief, and he will tell you his name in due time."

"If you keep asking questions like this, people will think you have ulterior motives, understand?"

The scout spoke to Lee Geun-seok very seriously.

This was also what Xu Guanzhong instructed before he left, because if what Li Genshuo said was true, then his Renzhou Li family must have a sufficient understanding of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Liangshan was impersonating the Song Dynasty army. Other Goryeo people might not know the details of Liangshan, but Li Ziqian was a powerful minister in Goryeo. Even if he didn't know about Liangshan, he must have known some things about the Zhao Song court.

At the very least, Li Ziqian probably knew whether there was a general named Ren in the Zhao Song court.

Therefore, in order to avoid being discovered in advance, Xu Guanzhong specifically instructed everyone before the battle not to mention the name of Ren Yuan in front of the Goryeo people.

As for the Liangshan banner, it was changed to the Zhao Song army banner for disguise when fighting Goguryeo, with only unique markings on the banner to distinguish it.

But what the scout didn't know was that his serious warning only fueled Lee Geun-suk's wild imagination once again.

The Song Dynasty has always valued civil officials over military ones, but this general, who looks quite young, has become a general at such a young age and is not suspected by the Song emperor. It seems that his background is extraordinary!

In addition, Ren Yuan's domineering aura made Li Genshuo feel as if he were facing a king, so Li Genshuo had his own guesses about Ren Yuan's background!

This general must be a member of the Song Dynasty royal family!

The person who could make the Song emperor feel so at ease must not be an ordinary blood relative!

Could he be the brother of the Song Dynasty emperor?
