Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Wanyan Aguda's miracle on that day truly boosted the morale of the entire Jin army.

Subsequently, the Jin army launched a full-scale attack, once again carrying out a near-suicidal charge against the Liao army!

The Liao people had strengthened their defenses, but against a group of Jurchens who seemed utterly fearless, their defenses were completely ineffective!

The Jurchens were like mad dogs, fearless and unafraid of pain. Even when their intestines were ripped out by sharp blades, they would forcefully stuff them back in and continue fighting the Liao people.

Under such an impact, Xiao Yixue, who replaced Yelü Zhangnu in commanding the western defense line, held out for less than a day before the defense line was breached by the Jurchens. If Xiao Yixue hadn't escaped quickly, this descendant of Empress Xiao would have died there!

"Damn it, why are the Jurchens so fierce today? They're not like normal people at all!"

Xiao Yixue said that the Jin people today are abnormal. Where in the world are there warriors who are not afraid of pain or death?

"Vice Commander, forget about everything else! Let's retreat!"

His personal guards looked at Xiao Yixue, who was still deep in thought, with great helplessness. "Vice Commander, can you please stop thinking about this? What's the use of thinking? The camp has been breached, let's retreat!"

In this battle, the Jin army annihilated 40,000 to 50,000 Liao soldiers, while suffering only 4,000 to 5,000 casualties themselves. This casualty ratio of about 10 to 1 makes it hard to imagine just how strong they really were!

"Brother Xiao, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Yelü Zhangnu was transferred to the east, which was far from the front line, because he was injured last time. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yixue, who replaced him, seemed to be even less capable than him.

"These Jurchens must have eaten something wrong with them. They're acting like madmen today, shouting for divine protection and charging forward without fear of death. I couldn't stop them, Commander. I'm willing to be punished! But please allow me to atone for my sins with meritorious service!"

Xiao Yixue was always proud, and he was very unhappy about being defeated by people whose surnames were not Yelü or Xiao!

"Brother Xiao, there's no need to blame yourself too much. However, I'm very curious, what magic do these Jurchens possess that allowed them to defeat us twice in a row? In that case, I'll personally command the next match!"

Yelü Erliduo was very unhappy to see that both of his deputy commanders had been defeated and that he had lost tens of thousands of troops.

The Jurchens were just a small tribe, someone who could have been easily crushed with a flick of their fingers in the past. How come they've become so fierce now?

"Commander, you are the commander, you can't..."

Just as Yelü Zhangnu was about to say that the commander-in-chief should not act rashly, Yelü Erliduo stopped him.

"Don't worry, I won't go. My two imperial nephews, Guozhen and Guobao, will be here soon. With them around, there's nothing to worry about."

Yelü Erliduo stated that he himself would not fight, but he could call for reinforcements!

Besides, the Jurchens weren't truly immortal; they still killed several thousand Jurchens!

I'll kill a few more times, and I'll see if any of you Jurchens can still lose anyone!

On that day, the morale of the Liao army was low, while the Jin army, which had won a brilliant battle, was giving their soldiers extra food as a reward!

"Eat more! Here, have some chicken soup! It's cold, drink some chicken soup!"

"Meat! Lots of meat today! Eat as much as you want!"

……

Wanyan Aguda did not celebrate with the others. Instead, he led his trusted confidants to the foot of the mountain where the "miracle" had occurred that morning, seemingly waiting for something.

As darkness fell and the guards had to light lanterns for Wanyan Aguda, a figure suddenly emerged from the dense forest at the foot of the mountain!

Who else could this be but Zeng Sheng?

"I've met the emperor!"

At this moment, Zeng Sheng was covered in blood and had scratches on his face from tree branches, looking as if he had just experienced a major battle.

"You must have had a tough day, right?"

Wanyan Aguda asked Zeng Sheng.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I guarantee that no third person knows about this."

Zeng Sheng patted his chest, assuring everyone that he was reliable and that anyone who knew about the matter had been silenced.

"Yeah, well done."

Wanyan Aguda said that Zeng Sheng was indeed a possibility.

But the next moment, Wanyan Aguda also drew his own precious sword and, with lightning speed, held it to Zeng Sheng's neck!

"Your Majesty, what's wrong...?"

Zeng Sheng had just gotten a chance to catch his breath and hadn't even had a proper rest when Wanyan Aguda put a knife to his neck?

"Besides me, isn't there another person who knows about this?"

"Your Majesty, you can't do this! I'm just following orders!"

Zeng Sheng felt like the sky had fallen.

Seriously? I was just following orders and working so hard to help you, and now you want to kill me?

Your Majesty! People should have a conscience!

"Didn't you tell me that sometimes, the fewer people who know certain things, the better?"

Wanyan Aguda looked at Zeng Sheng with a somewhat intriguing expression.

"Then why doesn't this principle apply to you?"

"Your Majesty, I am utterly loyal to the Great Jin and have no other intentions whatsoever!"

Zeng Shengzhen is really anxious!

"You can rest assured, I am trustworthy. I am your son-in-law. There is an old saying in the Central Plains that a son-in-law is like half a son. Your Majesty, I am family!"

"Is that so? But I've heard that the Emperor is ruthless... Zeng Sheng, can you really earn my trust?"

Wanyan Aguda patted Zeng Sheng's face with the back of his sword, looked at Zeng Sheng for a while, and then said to him with satisfaction.

"Alright, that was just a test. Get up. You're right, you are my son-in-law. I have already married my second daughter to you. You did well this time. My word is law, and I will keep my promise. I will marry my third daughter to you as well!"

Zeng Sheng had been torn between his inner thoughts and his own, and for a moment he even considered seizing the knife and killing Wanyan Aguda. But in the end, he resisted the temptation and did not try to take the knife.

As it turned out, he was right to do it; not only did nothing wrong, he also gained a wife!

"Your Majesty, this humble subject thanks you greatly!"

"Get up. As long as you continue to serve me, you will be rewarded after the matter is settled."

Wanyan Aguda sheathed his sword, turned his horse around, and at the same time, subtly waved one hand toward a grove of trees behind him.

Many soldiers in the woods who had drawn their bows and arrows also put down their arrows.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject thanks you. This humble subject will lead Your Majesty's horse!"

Zeng Sheng, however, was oblivious to this. He was even pleased, feeling that the distance between him and the emperor had narrowed once more…

a few days later.

"Brother, there's an urgent report from the north! Please take a look!"

Ren Yuan, who was in the process of marrying Li Shishi as his concubine, was taking a break to review documents in a side hall of the Juyi Hall when Ma Ling suddenly rushed in, carrying documents that were urgent dispatches.

"Brother Ma Ling? You read it."

Ren Yuan was busy approving documents, just like Han, who was writing materials, and had no free time to look at anything else.

"Brother, Wanyan Aguda led 90,000 troops to confront the Liao army of over 300,000 at Huanglongfu. Before the Jin army attacked, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky: several large fireballs fell from the sky! The morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, and they defeated tens of thousands of Liao troops!"

Ok?

Ren Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked up at Ma Ling.

A strange phenomenon from the sky? Or a giant fireball?

Good heavens, Wanyan Aguda, are you imitating Liu Xiu?

Interesting. Now that everyone has miracles or auspicious omens, who calls the shots in this world?

Or, why not bring out the people behind their respective miracles or auspicious omens and have them fight it out first?
