Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

A few days later.

"Come on!"

"Fuck me!!"

"Whoever gets to the top of the city wall first! A reward of two hundred taels of silver! And a promotion of two ranks!"

……

At Weisheng, Tong Guan's army has begun its attack. Under Tong Guan's command, his troops launched a particularly fierce assault on the city walls of Weisheng!

Inside Weisheng City, the soldiers' morale was particularly high due to Tian Hu's previous actions.

In addition, with the arrival of Tian Hu's top general, Bing Yanzhang Zan Tongmei, who had rushed back overnight, personally overseeing the battle from the city walls, the entire defensive line was quite formidable!

"Hold on tight! Wasion is our home! If we can't hold it, our home will be gone!"

"I, Tian Hu, will work together with everyone! We will live and die together!"

At the start of the war, Tian Hu also appeared on the city wall in armor and actively participated in some of the city defense activities.

This greatly boosted the morale of the Weisheng garrison!

The King is with us! That's wonderful!

With this boost in morale, the Weisheng defenders withstood the initial waves of attacks and managed to repel Tong Guan's charge!

"boom!"

Inside Tong Guan's camp, Tong Guan slammed his fist on the table, looking at the generals in front of him with great dissatisfaction!

"Didn't you eat breakfast? You can't even take down a small section of the Weisheng city wall?!"

"They all brag about how brave they are all the time, but when it comes to real combat, they all go limp?"

"With your attitude, how dare you make things difficult for Wang Qing before? Wang Qing at least won a battle against the Liao people, and this time he even voluntarily gave you the credit for the siege. And what happened? What's going on now?"

"You used to look down on Wang Qing, but now you're not even as good as him. I just want to ask you, aren't you ashamed?"

Tong Guan was indeed very angry, so he didn't hold back when he scolded them. The generals were all verbally abused, but none of them dared to utter a word in rebuttal.

The main problem is that they couldn't refute it; what Tong Guan said was the truth.

"I'm telling you! I don't need any trash here!"

Tong Guan issued an ultimatum to everyone:

"At all costs, break into Weisheng City today! If you fail, don't come back to see me!"

"Yes!"

When Tong Guan's order came down, the generals were somewhat dissatisfied, but they had no choice. They were under Tong Guan's command and had to bow their heads. After all, Tong Guan was the commander-in-chief.

They had no choice but to leave the military tent and launch an even fiercer attack on Weisheng!

As they attacked, they cursed Tian Hu in their hearts:

"Why are you resisting? Just surrender!"

Well, they've really wronged Tian Hu.

Because Tiger is no longer on the city wall!

Just kidding, there's a skill to putting on a show, you know. Putting on a show when the two armies have just started fighting can not only protect your own safety to the greatest extent, but may even bring some unexpected gains!

Therefore, Tian Hu stayed on the city wall until Tong Guan's first wave of attacks retreated. His composure in the face of danger gave the soldiers a lot of confidence!

But seeing that Tong Guan's first wave of attacks was repelled, Tian Hu decided to stop pretending.

Alright, mission accomplished, you can leave now.

Moreover, even if he doesn't leave, someone will force him to leave.

"Your Majesty, you should go down now. I will take over command here."

Li Tianxi came up to replace him, after all, Tian Hu was still the Prince of Jin, and they couldn't let him die on the battlefield.

"Brothers! I am with you! With you!"

Although Tian Hu was persuaded to leave, he kept shouting something along the way, which made the soldiers like him even more!

"Alright, let's not waste the advantage the King has given us. All soldiers defending the city, hold on! Our reinforcements will be here soon!"

Li Tianxi was also making empty promises to the soldiers defending the city.

But what Li Tianxi didn't expect was that after Tian Hu went down the city wall, he didn't return to the palace in Weisheng. Instead, he secretly led his men to the back gate of Weisheng!

Here, he took off his armor and gave it to a man of similar build, whose face was half-covered with a black cloth.

"You'll say you're so angry you can't speak, but you still have to show your face on the city wall, understand?"

Tian Hu said to that man.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This humble servant will certainly complete the mission!"

This person was a scapegoat that Tian Hu had arranged long ago. He was similar in height and appearance, making him the perfect candidate to be the substitute.

"Yes, don't worry, your family has already received a lot of money. As long as we get through this crisis, I will give them another large sum of money!"

Tian Hu now needs this stand-in, so he's offering a huge reward as a lure!

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will certainly do a good job in the matters Your Majesty has entrusted to me!"

The stunt double was clearly quite satisfied with doing this job for Tian Hu; he was earning money by risking his life!

"Okay, then go ahead!"

After Tian Hu finished speaking with the man, he changed into civilian clothes and went to a carriage by the roadside.

Inside the carriage were his younger brother, Tian Biao, and Tian Bao.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"So, is everything ready?"

Tian Hu asked.

"Don't worry, brother. We've already packed up all the money and valuables, and they're in the carriage. The children have also been sent out of the city beforehand. With five thousand loyal soldiers protecting them, there shouldn't be any problems."

This time, when Tian Hu fled, he only took his family with him and did not tell any of his advisors or generals.

"Alright, let's leave the city immediately and meet up with them!"

Tian Hu decided to set off immediately.

"Big brother, leaving so soon? The fight has only just begun!"

"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave later!"

Tian Hu is only thinking about leaving Weisheng now; he doesn't care about anyone else.

If it weren't for the fear of being outnumbered and outmatched, he wouldn't have even wanted to bring his younger brothers along.

The carriage headed towards the city gate, and as it set off, other carriages would follow short distances away, all heading out of the city together!

Tian Hu abandoned his soldiers who were still fighting and ran away!

After he and his entourage met up with the soldiers outside the city, he decisively ordered the entire army to march south!

"Big brother, where are we going?"

"Tian Bao asked."

"Let's go to Liangshan first! Ren Yuan and I had some connections back in Huguan, so we should be able to get some protection there."

Tian Hu planned to have Liangshan protect him. His idea was that if he was pursued by the pursuers, he would run into Liangshan territory. Liangshan was known as the protector of all the people under its jurisdiction, so they should not stand idly by.

"But brother, doesn't that mean I have to bow down to Ren Yuan?"

Tian Biao said that it was a bit shameful to bow down to Ren Yuan.

"Fool! A true man can bend and stretch. If Ren Yuan can help us hold off the pursuers, what's wrong with us bowing our heads temporarily?"

"Anyway, my goal is to use Liangshan to deal with Tong Guan, that's all!"

Tian Hu's plan was very clever. He thought that as long as he could avoid this crisis and pretend to be friendly with Ren Yuan, he could leave Liangshan and find another mountain to establish himself when the time was right!

"But brother, will they help us?"

Tian Biao was somewhat puzzled.

"Hmph, Ren Yuan always claims to care about the people, doesn't he? If he doesn't take action, then we'll secretly deal with the local people and tell them it was the imperial court. Do you think Ren Yuan will still stand by then?"

Tian Hu confidently declared that he had found a way to control Ren Yuan. "Ren Yuan, you value your reputation too much; that's your weakness!"
