Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"My father-in-law will definitely save me!"

Wang Qing stared at Ren Yuan and said, word by word.

"Jiaoxiu and I have a very good relationship. If we win this time, His Majesty will personally officiate our wedding!"

"How about it, Ren Yuan? Aren't you envious? I can live openly and honestly, unlike you, who can only be stuck in this corner of Liangshan forever!"

"Zhao Ji will officiate my wedding? No way, I'll pay him to get lost."

Ren Yuan waved his hand, saying, "What's so special about him? It's like he likes Zhao Ji."

"As for you mentioning Liangshan? Wang Qing, if I leave Liangshan, it will be the end for that old bastard Zhao Ji."

Ren Yuan did not take Zhao Ji seriously.

"Heh, anyone can talk big."

But Wang Qing completely ignored Ren Yuan.

"Back then, my territory in Huaixi covered nearly a thousand miles and was filled with fierce generals, yet I couldn't even deal with a single Western army!"

"Your Liangshan Marsh is only eight hundred li long! Even if you have more capable men under your command, my Great Song Dynasty has four hundred military prefectures! If each prefecture is reinforced by a militia commander, that's four hundred militia!"

"Ren Yuan, tell me! How did you defeat these four hundred men!"

"Do you really think it's so easy to survive in the greenwood? Do you really think that an ordinary bandit, along with a hundred or so rabble, can overthrow a dynasty that has lasted for so long?"

"Ren Yuan, you underestimate the Song Dynasty! The Song Dynasty's foundation is far beyond what a small Liangshan Mountain can match!"

"If you release me now, I will forgive and forget about what happened, and I might even put in a good word for you in the future because of our relationship."

"Don't worry, if you get caught, I can save your life!"

Wang Qing looked like he was doing Ren Yuan a favor, and earnestly advised him.

"Hahaha, Wang Qing, I never expected you to think like this now."

"But what I want to say is, aren't you overestimating Zhao Ji?"

"If a country bumpkin who has never seen the world said this, it would be one thing, but you, Wang Qing, were at least one of the Four Great Bandits. How can you think that once you leave Liangshan, I, Ren Yuan, can't do anything to Zhao Ji?"

If we consider the current size of Ren Yuan's overseas territory, then once he leaves Liangshan, he will be the true King of Goryeo. How could he possibly give face to the incompetent Zhao Ji?

"You... no, your confidence absolutely cannot be based on this mere eight hundred li of water!"

At this moment, Wang Qing finally realized that something was wrong!

Even if Ren Yuan was a fool, his strategist was definitely not. Besides, Li Zhu had heard what Ren Yuan just said. Yet Li Zhu didn't say a word.

In other words, Li Zhu also agrees with Ren Yuan's idea!

"Let me tell you, only short-sighted people keep focusing on that small piece of land in the Central Plains. I'm now overseas, I have a base of operations, I am the king myself!"

Ren Yuan looked at Wang Qing and said.

"what?!"

Wang Qing's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Ren Yuan's words!

Ren Yuan just said that he has territory overseas? And that it's no less than that of the Song Dynasty?

This is impossible! This is impossible!

"Impossible! How could you have thought of conquering territory overseas... Ah, no wonder you were silent for so long after you defeated Gao Qiu! So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

Wang Qing is actually quite intelligent; he can grasp things relatively quickly.

But he never expected Ren Yuan to play like this!

The way he established his overseas business was far more sophisticated than anyone else's!

The reason why Wang Qing and Tian Hu couldn't defeat the imperial court was because their territories were all within the territory of the Song Dynasty! It was only natural for the Song Dynasty to govern them!

However, Ren Yuan had a base overseas. Wang Qing could already imagine that if the imperial army besieged Liangshan one day, Ren Yuan and his men would definitely take the waterway directly overseas!

Once they were overseas, the Song dynasty truly couldn't control them anymore!

"Can a strongman be like this?"

Wang Qing couldn't understand it. Was this still a strongman?

"Of course you can! You're obviously uneducated; that's exactly what the Bearded Stranger does!"

Ren Yuan looked at Wang Qingna's complicated expression and suddenly felt very happy.

"The Bearded Stranger is a story! A story!"

Wang Qing pointed at Ren Yuan's nose, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.

He finally understood why they were all bandits and strongmen, but Liangshan was different from them; it turned out that their initial reference points were different!

The story of Qiu Ran Ke has been passed down for hundreds of years, from the Tang Dynasty to the present, but no one has ever done anything like him!

Who would have thought that Ren Yuan would use this story as a reference for becoming a strongman!

"So, am I right to say you're short-sighted?"

"Isn't it good to expand territory? What's the point of fighting all day long inside the house?"

"You, you won..."

Wang Qing wanted to say something more, but he really didn't know what to say!

For now, we only need to know that if a strongman can act this way, then Wang Qing will do the same!

Although Huaixi's territory was not near the sea and could not extend eastward, they could still fight westward!

Or perhaps they could visit that "friend" in Dali in the southwest!

If Wang Qing had done that, things would be completely different now!

"So you have to blame yourself for having such a narrow vision. You're completely infatuated with Tong Jiaoxiu. How dare you call yourself someone who's capable of great things?"

Wang Qing lowered his head, like a defeated rooster, and remained silent.

"Boss Du, Military Advisor Li, Wang Qing is now in your care."

Ren Yuan handed Wang Qing over to Du Xue and Li Zhu.

"As long as he doesn't die, you can do whatever you want with him."

"Ren Yuan! Why didn't you kill me?!"

Wang Qing looked up, somewhat incredulous.

"I'm the kind of person who won't kill nameless people with my three-pointed sword."

"If it were the original ruler of Huaixi, he might have been able to offer a sacrifice to my Three-Pointed Knife."

“But now, you’re just a lowly fifth-rank vanguard of the imperial court. You’re not worthy to die under my three-pointed blade.”

Ren Yuan's words were unpleasant to hear and hurtful.

Wang Qing wanted to say something, but Ren Yuan interrupted him again.

"Oh, right, I also need to send a letter to Tong Guan."

"Ren Yuan, what do you want with me, Taishan?"

Wang Qing suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Let's make a bet. Didn't you just keep saying that your Taishan Tong Guan is a man of honor and righteousness? Here's what I'll do: I'll tell him you're with me, and I won't let him spend any money. In exchange for your safety, I'll ask him to withdraw his troops or temporarily cease hostilities. Do you think Tong Guan would agree?"

"This……"

Wang Qing originally wanted to say that Tong Guan would definitely agree, but looking at Ren Yuan's ambiguous smile, he lost his confidence.

"Wang Qing, let's make a bet. If Tong Guan is willing to withdraw his troops or make peace for your sake, then I will let you go back and allow you and your father-in-law to reunite."

Ren Yuan's words were startling.

"What if I, Taishan, disagree? What will you do? Kill me?"

Wang Qing asked Ren Yuan, "What are you betting on?"

"If he doesn't agree..."

Ren Yuan glanced at Wang Qing and a smirk appeared on his lips.

“Wang Qing, I happen to have a lot of unexploited mines overseas. If Tong Guan continues to attack Liangshan, then you’ll spend the rest of your life mining!”
