Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Mi Sheng, a universally acknowledged lucky general of Liangshan, often uses unconventional methods in battle to achieve unexpected results.

For example, right now, he and Shan Shiqi teamed up to get the leading captain drunk and secretly hide him, and they actually managed to keep it hidden from the government troops.

"Um, Generals Zhang, have you two seen my captain?"

When it was almost time to set sail, the soldiers who couldn't find the captain had no choice but to come looking for Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi.

There's nothing we can do; they're the highest-ranking officials!

"Your captain, he just said he went to inspect other ships, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, he ran off after drinking half of his drink, that guy is really..."

Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi pretended to be half-drunk, pointing at the wine jars at their feet and gesturing wildly, leaving the government soldiers speechless.

However, the soldiers quickly came up with some reasonable explanations: these two young masters of the Zhang family were too heavy drinkers, and their captain must have been unable to bear it, so he made an excuse to go to another ship!

Yes, that makes sense!

"Generals Zhang, may we set sail?"

After figuring things out, the soldiers no longer hesitated and immediately told Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi that they could set sail.

"Go ahead, go ahead, just start."

"Yes! Drive faster! The sooner we get there, the better we can earn merit and kill the enemy!"

Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi were still drunk, and the soldiers didn't pay them much attention, preparing to set sail on their own.

Before long, all the warships left their ambush positions in an orderly manner and began to advance towards Liangshan.

"Brothers, brothers, how long will it take us to get to Liangshan?"

Sandro slipped down to the cabin and asked the sailors who were rowing.

"General, what brings you here? You're quite drunk. Don't worry, you'll be there in a bit."

Sailors immediately came up and helped Shan Shiqi.

"Okay, okay, then hurry up! It was your captain who told you to hurry up, understand?"

"Understood, understood, General, don't worry, it will be quick."

Sanchez pretended to be dizzy and went back to the deck. Then he went to the side of the ship, watched its trajectory, and silently made plans in his mind.

"How's it going, Lao Shan? Have the men down there noticed anything unusual?"

Mi Sheng came over again.

"not at all."

"That's fine then. Once we're ashore, just take everyone on board!"

Mi Sheng chuckled, his eyes gleaming with the light of accomplishment!

"You'd better tie that captain up tight, don't let him slip out."

"Don't worry, that guy's drunk and sleeping like a log."

Mi Sheng patted his chest.

The two discussed some more things, when suddenly, Shan Shiqi seemed to have thought of something and asked Mi Sheng:

"Old Black, if we hijack the ship later, will it be enough to rely on just the two of us? After all, neither of us are proper naval personnel."

"It's alright. Once we're ashore, I'll fire a signal flare, and the brothers will come to our aid."

Mi Sheng thought Shan Shiqi was going to say something, but unexpectedly Shan Shiqi was worried about manpower. He immediately said that he was not afraid and that he had already made arrangements.

"You've arranged a backup plan? Wait a minute, isn't that the strategist's job?"

Shan Shiqi could hardly believe it. He looked at Mi Sheng and wondered what made this old black man so capable of arranging backup support.

"Well, I ran into Xiao Qi before I came out this time."

Mi Sheng grinned at his big mouth.

"You know, Brother Qi has a straightforward personality, which suits my taste, so I had a big drinking session with him back then."

“At the dinner table, Xiao Qi told me that he was responsible for protecting the stronghold this time. Although he said it was his duty, he also envied those of us who could fight against Tong Guan, that old dog.”

"Xiao Qi also said that it was a pity that he couldn't fight Tong Guan, and he hoped that we could hit Tong Guan a few more times, as if we were fighting for him."

Mi Sheng told Shan Shiqi about what happened between him and Ruan Xiaoqi at the dinner table.

Shan Shiqi listened, completely stunned.

"and then?"

"Then, we were drinking at the time, and I saw that Xiao Qi looked very regretful, so I told Xiao Qi that he didn't need to take his place, he could beat Tong Guan!"

"How can Xiao Qi fight? The strategist's plan is for Xiao Qi to lead the team to defend the waters!"

Shan Shiqi was truly dumbfounded. No, Mi Sheng, you wouldn't be...

"Yes, the strategist told him to guard it, but I told him, 'Xiao Qi, you can come and help me later.'"

Mi Sheng continued, but what he said terrified Shan Shiqi.

No, Old Black, what are you doing?

"Xiao Qi asked me how I could help. I told him I'd asked the Shenji Army for signal flares, and he'd guard the marsh. If he saw the signal flares, he'd immediately bring half his men to serve as my naval force!"

"Then, let's join forces and launch a surprise attack on Tong Guan's army. We'll catch them off guard, and that way we're sure to win a great victory!"

"Xiao Qi was also very happy. He told me on the spot that he could definitely help. He was even thinking of using fire to attack Tong Guan's army. That would definitely be a great success! Oh, Xiao Qi also said that if the mission is successful in the end, he doesn't want the credit."

Mi Sheng explained the situation very clearly.

"And you agreed?"

Shan Shiqi covered his head. Sure enough, his feeling that Mi Sheng had a backup plan was just a misconception!

"Yes, I thought this was a great thing, so I agreed!"

"Have you told the strategist?"

"No, Xiao Qi also said that we shouldn't tell the strategist about this yet. We'll give them a big surprise once we've succeeded!"

"Old Hei...you...and Xiao Qi too...sigh..."

Shan Shiqi was at a loss.

He should have realized long ago that Mi Sheng and Ruan Xiaoqi were both notorious for not following the rules in the army. Although they often had miraculous effects, they couldn't continue like this forever!

"What's wrong, Lao Shan? Why are you unhappy?"

Mi Sheng hadn't reacted yet.

"Old Hei, the strategist has already ordered Xiao Qi to stay behind, so we can't go looking for him. Xiao Qi cooperating with you privately might not seem like a big deal at first, but on a larger scale, it's disobeying military orders!"

Shan Shiqi explained to Mi Sheng.

"I bet you've fallen for Xiao Qi's trick!"

"Oh, I see. No wonder Xiao Qi was so enthusiastic that day, and even offered to buy me drinks! So that's how it is?"

Mi Sheng then realized that Ruan Xiaoqi, who couldn't stand being alone, had secretly "tricked" herself.

“If this had happened with Brother Pei Xuan, both of you would have been punished, even if you had done something good.”

Shan Shiqi said, "Do you guys get restless if you don't visit Pei Xuan's brother for a few days?"

“But Lao Shan, I think Xiao Qi makes a good point. Look, he only brought half the men to help, so it's not like he completely deserted his post, right?”

"Moreover, with Xiao Qi's support, we will definitely be able to successfully storm Tong Guan's naval camp."

"Old Shan, just imagine, the entire camp will be ablaze with flames, and that old dog Tong Guan will flee in disarray. Don't you want to see that scene?"

Mi Sheng suddenly said to Shan Shiqi.

"I... I'm telling you, don't try to mislead me. I'm someone who strictly obeys the strategist's orders!"

Sanchez swallowed hard.

"You burned more than 100,000 government troops. Don't you think it's impressive, Laoshan?"

"I... I still need to report to the strategist..."

Shan Shiqi was somewhat tempted.

"Tong Guan's head is yours, the credit is yours, and Xiao Qi and I will each treat you to a drink!"

Mi Sheng unleashed his final trump card.

"Deal! But when we get back, if we're going to get punished, we'll have to go together."

"Hmm...we'll talk about that later. You wait here, I'll send a signal to Xiaoqi..."
