Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Tong Guan and Wang Qing, one wielding a hammer and the other a shield, engaged in a dishonorable battle in the Hall of Righteousness at Liangshan.

Tong Guan repeatedly hammered at Wang Qing with his small hammer, displaying great momentum, and the sound of the hammer hitting the shield was quite loud.

Wang Qing mainly used his shield to block Tong Guan's attacks, and occasionally used his shield to counterattack.

As for the Liangshan leaders, under Ren Yuan's guidance, they decisively watched the show, with Ren Yuan even leading the way in providing commentary and explanations.

"Master Tong, that's not how you strike with a hammer! Slow down your moves!"

"Master Wang, don't dodge! Use your shield to cut through his mid lane!"

"Great! That's the right way to parry!"

Tong Guan was getting old, and after a while, his strength waned, so his attacks became slower and less powerful, and he started to pant.

Wang Qing seized the opportunity and used his shield to deflect the hammer from Tong Guan's hand!

Then Wang Qing pressed his advantage, knocking Tong Guan to the ground with a shield charge, and then straddled Tong Guan, trying to subdue him!

But Tong Guan was not so easily subdued. As soon as Wang Qing was on top of him, Tong Guan used a very beautiful hip bridge and pushed hard, sending Wang Qing flying!

Then Tong Guan rolled over, grabbed one of Wang Qing's legs and pulled it into his arms, trying to subdue him!

When Ren Yuan saw that Wang Qing's leg had been grabbed, he didn't throw down his shield to fight back. Instead, he held the shield and tried to reach Tong Guan.

Given their current positions, it was obviously impossible for them to reach each other, and Wang Qing's strength from just one leg was insufficient to break free from Tong Guan's restraints, so for the time being he could only struggle passively.

"Master Wang! Throw away your shield and fight him!"

Ren Yuan was getting anxious. How could Wang Qing's ground skills be so bad? Counterattack!

These words were like a wake-up call. Upon hearing this, Wang Qing immediately threw away his shield, turned around, and started fighting Tong Guan with ground techniques!

As the fight progressed, the tactics of thugs and hooligans came out: one pulled hair, the other picked his nose, and the father-in-law and son-in-law seemed eager to fight to the death.

"It's unbearable to look at, it's just too unbearable to look at."

Ren Yuan said, "Let's stop showing this brutal storyline here for now."

He then signaled the junior officers to go up and separate the two men, but the two men were really enraged. Even as they were being separated, they were still spitting at each other and glaring at each other, shouting that they would teach the other a lesson.

"Wang Qing, you can go down now."

Seeing this, Ren Yuan thought for a moment and gestured to take Wang Qing away first.

"Brother Ren! Brother Ren! Give me a chance, I... I'm willing to personally destroy this old scoundrel!"

Wang Qing was shocked. He thought Ren Yuan was about to abandon him, so he quickly pledged his loyalty to Ren Yuan.

"Alright, alright, no matter what, you're the one who benefited Taishan. Stop saying such treasonous things and just get down to business."

Ren Yuan waved his hand, indicating that Wang Qing didn't need to say anything more.

"You go down first, I want to have a good talk with you, old man."

"Then, Brother Ren, I..."

Before Wang Qing even opened his mouth, everyone basically knew what he was going to say.

"Don't worry, I understand Tong Jiaoxiu."

Ren Yuan said that he knew about it and would make arrangements for it if the opportunity arose.

After all, Wang Qing is a future gold miner, so it wouldn't be a bad idea if we could motivate him to mine.

"Thank you very much, Brother Ren!"

Wang Qing thanked him profusely and then left. As he passed by Tong Guan, he spat on him.

"Ren Yuan! If you have a problem, come at me! Don't even think about hitting Jiao Xiu!"

"You're supposed to be a local tyrant! A hero of Liangshan! What kind of skill is it to bully women?"

"Besides, my Tong residence is heavily fortified! You might not even be able to succeed!"

Tong Guan was getting anxious because he had just heard Ren Yuan say that he seemed to be planning to capture Tong Jiaoxiu and bring her to Liangshan.

"Tong Guan's defenses are heavily fortified? Military Advisor Li, do you agree?"

When Ren Yuan heard Tong Guan say that, he smiled and turned to ask Li Zhu.

"Reporting to the chieftain, in my humble opinion, those men from the Tong family are nothing but chickens and dogs."

Assistant Li answered with a smile.

"You rude Taoist priest! Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to say that?"

Tong Guan was furious when he saw that a Taoist priest dared to ignore him.

It's one thing for Ren Yuan to despise me, but where do you get the courage from, you stinking Taoist priest under Ren Yuan's command?

"Hey, Tong Guan, let me tell you something. My strategist, Li, used to be Wang Qing's strategist."

At this moment, Ren Yuan enthusiastically introduced Tong Guan to the situation.

"Do you know about Tong Jiaoxiu being kidnapped last time? It was my strategist Li who did it."

"What?! You..."

Tong Guan's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Li Zhu!

"You, you are... Wait a minute, didn't you say last time it was Fang La's Ming Cult's Light Winged Bat King who did it?"

"Ahem, if I hadn't intervened last time, that little fat boy from the Fang family wouldn't have been able to take the person away so easily."

Li Zhu looked at Tong Guan and coughed lightly.

"Although that matter can't be described as honorable, Tong Guan, those people in your household really can't stop me."

"If I can rob once, I can rob a second time."

"Ren Yuan! What do you want? Let's talk this over!"

Tong Guan was frightened at this moment. After becoming a eunuch, he actually longed for family affection. Otherwise, he wouldn't have adopted Tong Jiaoxiu as his daughter when she was very young.

He even wanted to adopt another son from his own family.

It can be said that family is also Tong Guan's Achilles' heel.

When Tong Guan learned that Liangshan had the ability to threaten his family, he said, "Let's talk."

"Talk? Tong Guan, you mean, let's talk?"

Ren Yuan looked at Tong Guan, pointed back and forth between them, and then asked with a smile.

"Yes, as long as you don't harm my family, Ren Yuan, you are now a well-known figure in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty. You should abide by the principle that one should not harm one's family. Otherwise, there will be no rules in the entire Jianghu of the Song Dynasty!"

"Wow, Tong Guan, you're ruthless when it comes to military affairs, and you're ruthless when it comes to the common people. Now that it's your turn, you're telling me to follow the rules. You have quite the nerve."

"Besides, although you are the Privy Councilor, you have suffered a major defeat. I would like to ask, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

Ren Yuan's words made sense. Tong Guan's defeat this time was even worse than Gao Qiu's. How was he going to explain this to Zhao Ji when he returned?

“Ren Yuan, although I have lost, I, Tong Guan, have many connections in the court over the years. The Emperor will not punish me for this defeat.”

Tong Guan stated that he had connections in the imperial court and was not afraid.

"Tsk tsk, if it were any other military general, losing tens of thousands of soldiers would probably cost his entire family their heads. Privy Councilor Tong is indeed no ordinary man."

Upon hearing Tong Guan's words, the former government officers in the Hall of Righteousness were all very angry, and Tang Bin even directly mocked them.

"That's right, that's right, otherwise how could he become the Privy Councilor?"

"What are a few hundred thousand people? They're utterly insignificant to Privy Councilor Tong!"

……

But Tong Guan was thick-skinned after all. He ignored the taunts and stared intently at Ren Yuan.

"So, I still have influence in the court. Ren Yuan, how about we talk?"

……
