Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Whoosh!"

This domineering wolf-tooth arrow, accompanied by a strong whooshing sound, hurtled straight towards Lü Fang and Guo Sheng!

"Qiang!!!"

Without missing a beat, the arrow struck the spot where the two halberds were entangled, but the arrow was too powerful! After severing the leopard's tail and the five-colored banner, its momentum did not diminish, and it crashed heavily into the two halberds!

At the same time, Lü Fang and Guo Sheng felt a tremendous force coming from the halberds in their hands, causing them to let go almost simultaneously!

One arrow knocked the weapons off two people! Ren Yuan's domineering archery skills are truly terrifying!

"Gentlemen, please give me some face and stop fighting."

Seeing that the two had been separated, Ren Yuan also put down his bow and arrow. Although his method was different from Hua Rong's, the effect was the same, and he hadn't embarrassed his master!

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

They asked themselves that although they were not first-rate military commanders, they were not third-rate or even insignificant figures.

But this burly man in front of them could make their arms go numb and unable to hold their weapons with a single arrow. How terrifying is that!

If that arrow had hit someone, it would have left a huge hole!

("Achoo!" At this moment, Du Qian, far away in Liangshan, sneezed loudly. An Daoquan happened to be passing by him, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said to Du Qian, "Chief Du, it seems that your yin deficiency problem is still not cured. Here, I will prescribe another prescription for you in a while!")

"Who are you, and why are you interrupting our match?"

Lu Fang cupped his hands in greeting to Ren Yuan and asked.

"I am Ren Yuan from Liangshan. Seeing the two young heroes fighting, I feel a little itchy, but I also don't want to see either of you get hurt."

Ren Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh my, it's Brother Ren Yuan! Guo Sheng greets you, brother!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Sheng was the first to react, quickly jumped off his horse, and bowed to Ren Yuan.

Although Lü Fang was a step slower, it was still the same.

"No need for grand gifts, gentlemen. How about we turn hostility into friendship and then come with me to Liangshan?"

Ren Yuan extended an invitation, and Lü Fang and Guo Sheng were initially surprised, but then overjoyed!

Good heavens! Liangshan is a huge stronghold now! It's much more lively than our own stronghold!

"Yes! We are willing!"

"Congratulations, Chieftain! These two young generals are quite good."

Wen Huanzhang and the others caught up at this time. After hearing what had just happened, and looking at Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, who were dressed almost identically, Wen Huanzhang smiled and congratulated Ren Yuan.

Bian Xiang was also filled with mixed feelings, and it was clear that he was thinking about what had happened to him before.

Tian Hu, oh Tian Hu! Look at Liangshan! With just a word from the chieftain, talented people are willing to join. And look at you! I have to fight tooth and nail for you... I'm never working for you again!

"Alright, then I'll give you one hour to go back to the mountain, pack your things, and then set off immediately."

Ren Yuan dismounted and helped the two men up. He said that after they returned to the mountain, they would be properly trained by Instructor Wang, and they would definitely be good. He would make them his bodyguard leaders from now on.

"Alright, brother, rest a bit! We'll be there right away!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were overjoyed and hurriedly returned to the mountain to pack up. They were quite fast; they abandoned the mountain stronghold, packed up all their valuables, and each led more than a hundred people and a dozen horses down the mountain.

After everyone reunited, they continued on their way, and finally understood why Lü Fang and Guo Sheng had started fighting.

Lü Fang, whose ancestral home was Tanzhou, admired the character of Lü Bu and thus studied under several masters, mastering the halberd with exceptional skill, earning him the nickname "Little Wenhou" in the martial arts world. He lost all his capital while selling medicinal herbs in Shandong and was unable to return home, so he temporarily occupied the Twin Shadows Mountain, engaging in robbery and plunder.

Guo Sheng, originally from Jialing in Sichuan, learned the halberd from Zhang, a local military officer, and became highly skilled, earning him the nickname "Surpassing Ren Gui" in the martial arts world. While selling mercury, his boat capsized in a storm on the Yellow River, leaving him unable to return home and stranded in the martial arts world. Hearing that a halberd-wielder had taken over the mountain of Duiying Mountain, robbing and plundering, he went straight there to challenge him to a duel. They fought for over ten days without a clear victor.

"Aren't these two Shadow Mountains exactly the same? Wouldn't it be better if each of you had your own mountain?"

Mi Sheng found it strange. "You two have been fighting for so many days, but haven't you noticed that you're evenly matched? It's impossible to tell who's better."

Like him and Bian Xiang, both of them wielded large axes, but after that sparring match, Mi Sheng knew in his heart that although the difference was not great, Bian Xiang's axe skills were slightly better than his own.

“Brother Mi Sheng is right. I really want the title of the number one halberd master.”

Guo Sheng was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he was in the wrong about the matter of Yingshan. He tried to forcibly seize Lu Fang's stronghold. Lu Fang had already said that they would be divided equally, one for each person. It was only because Guo Sheng felt unhappy that he came down every day to compete with Lu Fang.

"Young people, that's normal."

Ren Yuan smiled and looked at Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, "You two, after you return to the mountain, you will become the leaders of my personal guards. The other brothers on the mountain are all very skilled in martial arts, so you can have a good sparring session with them."

"As for the Fangtian Halberd, Instructor Wang is also on the mountain. Let him give you some pointers once he recovers from his injuries."

Upon hearing this, Lü Fang and Guo Sheng were overjoyed. They were both martial arts fanatics, but they had never had a master to teach them. Lü Fang was a complete amateur, and although Guo Sheng had been taught by Zhang Tixia, it wasn't for long. In other words, the two of them hadn't really mastered the skills before venturing out into the martial world.

As for the halberd, if you don't practice it properly, you'll just be asking for trouble. These two young men were lucky that they didn't encounter any other experts, otherwise they would have been finished long ago.

The group chatted and laughed all the way, and before they knew it, more than a month had passed, and they finally returned to the foot of Liangshan.

Zhu Wu and the others were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

"My brother, you've been gone for over a month now. Are you trying to exhaust your little brother?"

Zhu Wu and Ren Yuan are now very close, joking with each other whenever they meet. Since taking over the administration of the mountain stronghold, this brilliant strategist has been extremely busy every day. If it weren't for Qiao Daoqing relieving some of the pressure for him, Zhu Wu feels he might have prematurely grayed.

"My strategist, you're wronging me! Brother Qiao Lie is helping you too! Hahahaha."

Ren Yuan knew that Zhu Wu was joking, but he also knew that Zhu Wu and Qiao Daoqing were only temporarily holding the fort. The real political powerhouse was Wen Huanzhang, whom they had brought back this time.

"But don't worry, look who I've invited!"

Ren Yuan stepped aside, making way for Wen Huanzhang to take the main seat.

"This is the Mr. Wen Huanzhang we've been talking about all along. What do you think, Zhu Wu? Are you satisfied now?"

"Oh dear, I am Zhu Wu, a junior scholar, greetings to Mr. Wen."

Wen Huanzhang was much older than Zhu Wu and others, and he had started studying and taking the imperial examinations much earlier. To these people, they were all junior students in front of Wen Huanzhang.

"I dare not accept such praise. In a group of three, there is bound to be someone I can learn from. From now on, we will learn from each other."

Wen Huanzhang looked at Zhu Wu and nodded inwardly, thinking to himself that this leader of Liangshan was truly capable.

“Mr. Wen, from now on, I will entrust you and Brother Zhu Wu to each other. If you don’t mind, you can also be the strategist of Liangshan.”

"Being a strategist is a bit too fast. After all, I've only just arrived at Liangshan and am not familiar with many things. How about I start by advising on military affairs?"

Wen Huanzhang did not agree directly, but instead took a step back.

"No problem, then let's start by consulting the military intelligence."

Ren Yuan was overjoyed. "You're already a military advisor, how can you run away? Isn't this just like An Daoquan? Now he's in charge of the Liangshan free clinic every day. Except for not having the official title of leader, what's the difference between him and a leader?"

Next, everyone boarded the boat and headed towards Dazhai. As they walked, Ren Yuan spoke to the others.

“Brother Bian Xiang, our Liangshan Infantry Fourth Battalion is already at full strength, but we don’t have a commander yet, only a deputy commander. If you don’t mind, how about you take on the role of commander of the Fourth Battalion for now?”

In fact, Ren had other plans for Bian Xiang, but Liangshan was still short-handed, so he could only send Bian Xiang to the Fourth Infantry Battalion for the time being.

"Bian Xiang is very grateful for your kindness, brother. From now on, I will dedicate myself to Liangshan!"

Tian Hu had neither money nor manpower, but when he came to Liangshan, he was immediately given the command of a full infantry battalion! A powerful leader! And a deputy general! Bian Xiang could clearly see the difference between them.

Tian Hu... never mind, who is he? Never heard of him.

"Hahaha, that's great! Old Bian, let me tell you, I'm from the Third Battalion, and you're from the Fourth Battalion. What a coincidence! We really are good brothers!"

“Mi Sheng, if you keep running around, your third battalion will be with me.”

Yuan Lang joked with his good brother, and indeed, Mi Sheng often went out with Ren Yuan, and every time they went out, his third battalion was led by Yuan Lang.

"Brother, we're like brothers! Come, come, Brother Bian Xiang, this is my childhood friend Yuan Lang. His martial arts skills are no less than mine. Let's get to know each other better later!"

"My brother is biased. The infantry and cavalry have new recruits, but we naval forces don't!"

Ruan Xiaoqi has a lively personality, and she also has a good relationship with Ren Yuan, so she immediately jumps out to cause trouble.

"Hahaha, Xiao Qi, who said I forgot about you guys? Come on, Ou Peng brothers."

Ren Yuan then spoke to Ou Peng.

“These are the three giants of our Liangshan navy, the three Ruan brothers. Brother, you were also the main general who guarded the Yangtze River back then. After thinking it over, I think it would be more suitable to put you in the navy.”

"I'll do whatever my brother says!"

Following Ren Yuan's introduction, Ou Peng was very satisfied with the appearance of the three Ruan brothers. As an expert in naval warfare, he recognized at a glance that the three brothers were all good swimmers.

"You three don't know this, do you? Brother Ou Peng is not only good at naval warfare, but also an expert in infantry and horsemanship."

Ren Yuan also spoke to the three Ruan brothers about Ou Peng's merits. Upon hearing that Ou Peng was the commander guarding the Yangtze River, the three men were filled with admiration.

"So, I sent Brother Ou Peng to the navy. The second naval battalion is already full, and Brother Ou Peng will be the commander of the second naval battalion. Xiao Qi, you are Brother Ou Peng's deputy. Your second battalion must be able to fight in the water and on land!"

"Can fight in the water, and can fight on land too? Brother, isn't that just a water monkey?!"

Ruan Xiaoqi was naturally satisfied with this arrangement. He knew that as Liangshan developed, he would eventually become a commander-in-chief, so he wasn't worried at all.

Moreover, both of his older brothers are in the First Battalion. If Ruan Xiaoqi can lead the Second Battalion well, he can suppress his brothers' First Battalion. How glorious would that be!

"What water monkey? It should be a crocodile dragon!" Ren Yuan laughed and cursed, then said to Ou Peng, "Brother, your martial arts are currently the best among the naval leaders. You should keep pushing the three of them. Our Liangshan naval leaders not only need to be good swimmers, but they also need to be heroes on land!"

Yes, in Ren Yuan's view, Ou Peng was the later Marine Corps member. With him, the Liangshan navy's combat effectiveness would definitely be a level higher!

"I will certainly live up to my brother's expectations!"

Ou Peng was also filled with gratitude, because deep down he had dreamed of returning to the old Jiangjun camp more than once. He never expected that he would have his dream come true again once he arrived at Liangshan!

"Brother Zongwang, what do you think of these fortifications in the mountain stronghold?"

After Ou Peng finished his business, Ren Yuan looked at Tao Zongwang, after all, he was a big name in the construction industry.

"The three passes are well-organized and the layout is reasonable, but some minor details can still be improved. Brother, I'm not bragging, but if I were to build it, I guarantee that I could take the defense of the entire village to the next level."

Tao Zongwang patted his chest. He might not be good at much else, but he was a master at construction!

"Good! Brother Zongwang, I appoint you as the commander of the engineering battalion, with a full strength of 500 men. You can choose from the many civilians, craftsmen, and soldiers of Liangshan. As long as you feel you have a talent for construction, you can bring them into your engineering battalion. You will be responsible for the construction of the stronghold's fortifications, as well as for building roads through mountains and bridges over rivers when we go on expeditions in the future. Are you confident?"

"Thank you, brother! Don't worry, brother! The engineering battalion will definitely not let you down in the future!"

Tao Zongwang was overjoyed. He was initially happy to see his elder brother, Ou Peng, appointed as the commander of a naval battalion, and he thought that since his brother was a commander, he should also be able to get a deputy commander position.

To my surprise, Brother Ren Yuan was so generous! He actually let me be the commander too!

Although this battalion is not a combat battalion, but an engineering battalion, Liangshan is just starting out, and everything is in its early stages. Who would dare to underestimate the engineering battalion?

Tao Zongwang really wanted to cry his heart out!

Many people used to think he was just strong and good at construction, not very useful, and destined to be a laborer his whole life. But now, he is the commander of the Liangshan Engineering Battalion! Who says workers have no future!

“Brother Jiang Jing, do you see those two over there? They’re old brothers of our stronghold. Du Qian is in charge of money, and Song Wan is in charge of grain. They complain every day that no one helps them. You’re known as the 'Divine Calculator,' so from now on, the money and grain of our stronghold will all be in your hands.”

The fortune teller Jiang Jing is a rare talent, much better than those two roughnecks Du Qian and Song Wan. With him around, I can feel much more at ease in the future.

"Brothers Ma Lin".

Ma Lin was a little uneasy. His other three brothers had all found good positions: two were battalion commanders, and one was the chief steward of finances and provisions. What about him? What would he do?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Ren Yuan calling my name.

"Brother, you used to be a vagrant, so you're naturally well-informed. It just so happens that my brother Shi Qian keeps saying that the scout battalion's fighting strength is insufficient. Brother Ma Lin, why don't you go to the scout battalion and serve as a joint commander with Brother Shi Qian? How about that?"

"Ma Lin thanks you, brother, and will certainly live up to your expectations!"

I knew it! How could Brother Ren Yuan forget himself? Look, he's a commander too!

"Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, you two don't need to say anything more, just follow me."

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng naturally had no objections. Being able to follow the chief was such a good position! They wouldn't trade it for a command post!

Thus, Liangshanbo once again ushered in a new era!
