Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Xiao Jiahui.

Among the Liangshan strategists, he is currently the one who gets along best with Ren Yuan.

The two met in the early morning in Jingnan. At Xiao Jiahui's home, Ren Yuan won Xiao Jiahui's heartfelt submission with a tea party and a poem called "Bamboo and Rock".

From then on, Xiao Jiasui became Ren Yuan's most important civil official reliance. With Wen Huanzhang staying in the mountains to handle government affairs, Wang Yin not yet having grown up, and Xu Guanzhong not yet arriving, Xiao Jiasui, as a capable person in both civil and military affairs, provided Ren Yuan with a lot of help!

It could even be said that he was one of the treasures of Liangshan.

Therefore, under these circumstances, if we were to find someone in Liangshan to persuade someone to take the throne, Xiao Jiahui would definitely be qualified!

As soon as Xiao Jiahui finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in chaos!

Everyone looked at Ren Yuan on the throne, their faces filled with excitement.

"Strategist Xiao is right! Brother! You can be a king too!"

"You know, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La and those nobodies can all call themselves kings, but our brother now owns Jeju Island, Kyushu Island, and most of Goryeo! This territory is much bigger than theirs! Brother, you should be king!"

"Yes! Brother! Let's become king!"

……

The brothers were very excited. They also thought of something: once Ren Yuan became king, they would also gain a new identity!

Liangshan is still a civilian armed organization, not a formal government. Although everyone says it doesn't matter, being a leader in Liangshan is much more comfortable than being an official in the imperial court.

However, if Liangshan were to establish its own independent government, then everyone would no longer be just leaders, but official officials!

Moreover, Liangshan has now made contributions to expanding its territory overseas, including two large islands and half of Goryeo, which is more than a thousand miles of territory!

Such merit deserves to be recorded in history books!

Everyone was willing to serve as officials for such a new, vibrant, and promising court!

"Brother! Become king! Brother! Become king!"

Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi are the two most excited right now. Actually, it's mainly Mi Sheng who's excited, while Shan Shiqi is just keeping one company.

Ren Yuan then realized what had happened. Good heavens, I was just distracted for a moment, how did I end up fast-forwarding to the point of becoming king?

Isn't your program running a little too fast?

"Brothers, you guys caught me off guard!"

Ren Yuan smiled and said to his brothers that he had no objection to becoming king.

Build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself king – this has always been the strategy Ren Yuan adhered to.

Therefore, Liangshan kept a very low profile within the Song Dynasty. Apart from occupying the eight hundred li of water marshland, they didn't bother with other prefectures and counties at all.

Could Liangshan attack prefectures and counties? Of course they could. Daming Prefecture, Gaotang Prefecture, Jiang Prefecture... Liangshan attacked quite a few of them.

But Liangshan always emptied the state and county warehouses and then left; they never occupied any other places.

Ren Yuan did this to prevent the Song court from noticing him too early. Facing the Song Dynasty with its four hundred military prefectures, Liangshan was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

But things are different now. Liangshan's overseas base has been established. Ren Yuan, who owns more than a thousand miles of overseas land, now has people, land, grain, and money!

He is fully qualified to be king! Go even further!

However, to Ren Yuan's surprise, his brothers were even more eager than he was. Before he could say anything, they quickly suggested that he become king.

“Brother, this was not unexpected. Everything happened naturally. After defeating Gao Qiu, under your leadership, Liangshan conquered Kyushu and Goryeo, expanding our territory by thousands of miles. Your achievements are among the best in history books!”

"So, brother, since we're sitting on this Goryeo throne, let's just go ahead and declare ourselves king!"

Xiao Jiasui said to Ren Yuan.

"You, Xiao Jiahui, are you planning to make me don the imperial yellow robe in the Goryeo Palace?"

Ren Yuan looked at Xiao Jiasui and smiled.

"Hehe, if that's what you say, it's not impossible. The Goryeo royal palace is only so big. If we brothers search, we're sure we can find the Goryeo king's robe."

"Brother, you'll have to make do for now and use this four-clawed python robe to be king. Then, when the time is right, we'll declare ourselves emperors!"

"When I become emperor, I will make sure my brother doesn't suffer any injustice!"

Good heavens, if Wang Yu heard what Xiao Jiahui said, he'd probably be so angry he'd come back to life and die again!

"Is that what you guys all think?"

Ren Yuan looked at everyone.

"Junior brother, the entire Liangshan cavalry supports your claim to the throne!"

As the leader of the Liangshan cavalry, Lu Junyi's words carried particular weight at this moment. He took the lead in expressing his opinion, and the cavalry leaders behind him naturally agreed.

Oh, Guan Sheng isn't here, but that's alright. Even if he were here, he wouldn't disagree.

"Brother wants to become king? Then the entire infantry agrees!"

Lu Zhishen had just gone with Lin Chong to take over the city's defenses and was returning just in time. Upon hearing the news that Ren Yuan was to be made king, he immediately agreed!

"The entire Imperial Guard will follow your lead, Junior Brother. If you were to become king, the Imperial Guard would support you!"

Lin Chong is the leader of the Imperial Guard. If he expresses his opinion on behalf of the Imperial Guard, it means that three out of the four major armies of Liangshan are now fully supporting Ren Yuan's claim to the throne!

The remaining online trolls... mainly the trolls whose leader, Li Jun, didn't come this time, but if Li Jun had come, he would definitely have voted in favor!

It's only natural that Ren Yuan should declare himself king!

"Brother, we two, representing the strategist's office, declare that the strategist's office supports you in becoming king!"

After exchanging glances, Hsiao Chia-hui and Hsu Kuan-chung stepped forward at the same time to express their stance on behalf of the strategist's office!

Therefore, all three armies of Liangshan and the military strategist's office immediately expressed their support for Ren Yuan to declare himself king!

Everything fell into place more naturally!

"Alright! Then let's declare ourselves kings!"

Ren Yuan slapped his thigh and suddenly stood up!

Looking down at his good brothers, he felt a surge of pride and high spirits!

The guys have all said so! So let's not be coy!

"Um, brother, you agreed?"

Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong were taken aback, then looked at Ren Yuan with some surprise.

Isn't my brother usually very cautious? Why did he agree so quickly today?

"Huh? Didn't you all say together that I should become king?"

Ren Yuan was also taken aback.

"Yes, that's true. But brother, have you forgotten? According to the rules of etiquette, we can urge you to take the throne, but you must refuse. Then we can urge you again, and you must refuse again... Only after three requests and three refusals can you rightfully become king."

Xiao Jiahui scratched her head. Her brother didn't even know about this?

"Ah? Is that so?"

Ren Yuan blinked, looked around, and found that most people were also confused; clearly, they didn't know either.

“Brother, according to etiquette, yes.”

Xu Guanzhong said somewhat awkwardly.

"Okay, I understand. Um, Lao Xiao, Guan Zhong, that doesn't count, you guys do it again."

Ren Yuan understood and gestured for Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong to try again.

"Please, brother, be king!"

Hsiao Chia-hui and Hsu Kuan-chung looked at each other again, and then said.

This time, Ren Yuan reacted quickly:

"What? Claim the title of king? No, no..."
