Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"hurry up!"

At the foot of the hill designated by Yue Fei, a group of people were running, panting heavily.

They were chased by Yue Fei and his men all the way, enduring a constant stream of insults.

I don't know where Yue Fei and his men learned those swear words from, they were so awful!

"Are you guys even up to it? You haven't even seen the end of the mountain yet, and you're already exhausted?"

"Even the little auntie who sells straw sandals on our mountain can run faster than you!"

"You lot think you can lead the Northern Expedition? You want to be heroes? You want to be the first to offer incense in the family genealogy? Keep dreaming!"

……

"Huff, huff, which straw sandal seller in Liangshan runs this fast?"

At the very front of the line were several leaders from Qingfeng Mountain.

Liu Tang, Lei Heng, and Chao Gai, along with a number of others, formed the first echelon.

This training session involved not only people from Qingfeng Mountain, but also from other mountains, making for a considerable number of participants.

"Run! Even if there isn't this baby, now that they say there is, then there is."

"Yes."

Beside Liu Tang and the others, there was another person who seemed to be running even more easily than Liu Tang and the others.

Chao Gai carefully examined the man and found that he was indeed handsome.

The man was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with indigo-colored floral embroidery visible on his neck and wrists. He had eyebrows that reached his temples, phoenix eyes that looked upwards, and a bright green headscarf tied around his head.

Besides, this person had a pale yellow complexion, a high nose bridge, a booming voice, and a few thin whiskers under his chin, making him look quite dashing.

"Judging from your accent, are you from Henan?"

Chao Gai took a breath and asked the man a question.

"Ah."

For some reason, there was an unresolved sense of melancholy between this person's brows, which made his voice sound somewhat low.

"Which mountain are you on, brother? I've never seen you before."

Lei Heng was also somewhat surprised. From Henan? He had never heard of such a person in Henan.

"..."

This person seemed reluctant to discuss their origins, so they did not answer the question.

"Brother? Brother, were you not one of us outlaws before?"

Liu Tang said that it didn't matter if he wasn't a bandit before, as long as he is now.

"Um... no."

The man remained silent. Liu Tang Lei Heng wanted to ask more questions, but was suddenly stopped by Chao Gai.

"elder brother?"

"Don't ask anymore, this guy looks like he works for a government agency."

Chao Gai said in a low voice.

"Working for a public office?"

Lei Heng was taken aback, then looked the man over again a few times.

"Brother, it really is a male position. This feeling is very similar to what I used to experience."

Lei Heng said that he used to be a public servant himself, so he did have a sense of familiarity.

"Why would a government official participate in the training of bandits?"

Liu Tang couldn't understand it, and he even said to Chao Gai:

"Brother, should we tell Brother Renyuan that this person might be a spy?"

"Hmm...keep an eye on him for now, and tell Brother Yue later."

Chao Gai signaled to keep an eye on this person first.

The group continued rushing up the mountain. Chao Gai and his first echelon arrived very smoothly. The guy with the pale yellow complexion looked the most relaxed. While the others were basically sitting on the ground to rest, this guy just bent over, rubbed his knees, adjusted for a while, and then stood up straight.

"Huff, huff, brother, you're really something. Let's get acquainted. I'm Chao Gai, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King from Qingfeng Mountain."

Chao Gai came over, panting heavily, and introduced himself. After all, he had been a leader before, and his eyes revealed sincerity.

"Sick Guan Suo, Yang Xiong".

Yang Xiong stared at Chao Gai for a while before giving his name.

"Bing Guansuo?"

Chao Gai thought about it and realized he had never heard of this name before.

"Let's keep in touch more often. I have a lot of brothers from Qingfeng Mountain with me for this training. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Chao Gai was the first to extend an olive branch.

"……it is good."

Yang Xiong stared at Chao Gai for a long while before nodding.

After waiting for a while, more people arrived one after another. The last hundred were eliminated and sent back to the back mountain by Yue Fei's men to await further instructions.

"Get up! How far have you run? You can't run anymore?"

As Yue Fei rode his warhorse, looking at the people lying on the ground, he suddenly sneered.

"You're all so comfortable! We've only been running for a short while, and you're all lying down already?"

"Lying down so comfortably? Looks like the ground is more comfortable than the bed, right?! Alright! Target: our starting point! The last hundred to arrive will sleep on the ground tonight!"

"Hey! Instructor Yue! Are you making a fool of us? You made us run over here, and now you're making us run back? Are you treating us like monkeys?"

Yue Fei's order caused a stir among the crowd, with some people directly expressing their dissatisfaction!

Hearing the man's discontent, Yue Fei sneered, picked up the tin can, and began to curse:

"You think it's just a game, a simple back-and-forth run? Do you know that the elite of my Dayi Infantry have to do this kind of shuttle run training every day!"

"Do you know the Tiger-Taming Army? It's the army commanded by Commander Wu Song! They do these kinds of back-and-forth runs every day, they're practically sprinting!"

"Therefore, they are the elite of our Dayi Army, and they are qualified to march north and conquer the foreign tribes!"

"And you guys? You're already running halfway through, and you still think you can go on the Northern Expedition with that kind of stamina? Are you just going to give away military merits? Even the tofu seller on the mountain has better stamina than you!"

His words left everyone present red-faced with embarrassment. Before they could say anything more, Yue Fei jumped down from his horse:

"Come on, you're not convinced, are you? Fine, I'll run with you the way back!"

"I'm only twelve years old! I didn't take advantage of you by running this half marathon with you! If you can't beat me, then you'd better shut up here from now on!"

Good heavens, Yue Fei's words left everyone speechless.

"I'm coming too!"

Yang Zaixing also came to the front of the group, ready to run.

"I'm only eleven years old! Today, the two of us coaches will lead you through this half of the race!"

"I can't take it anymore, come on!"

"Yes! Live to fight! Die if you want! We can't let those two kids look down on us!"

"Get up! Get up! Don't embarrass our mountain stronghold!"

……

Seeing that Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were already standing, the crowd still on the ground immediately got up! Although they were cursing, their bodies were ready again.

Yue Fei glanced behind him, nodded in satisfaction, and then gave the order to depart:

"run!"

……

"Brother, aren't you really going to go check on Yue Fei's training?"

Xu Ning, who was on duty today, was somewhat uneasy after seeing that Ren Yuanzhen had entrusted the selection of all the surrendered soldiers to Yue Fei.

"Brother Xu Ning, don't worry. My fourth son is naive and a good candidate for training. If he can't handle this situation, he'll get a beating."

Ren Yuan ignored Yue Fei's situation; he was busy finalizing the expedition plan.

"Brother, oh, Brother Xu Ning is here too?"

Just as the two were chatting, they suddenly felt a cold wind blow into the room. Looking up, they saw that the window had been open at some point, and Shi Qian was tiptoeing to close it.

"Shi Qian, it's winter, why don't you come to the door?"

"Brother, I'll definitely do it next time. By the way, brother, I just saw a name on the training roster that you mentioned before. I think you'll be interested."

Shi Qian handed Ren Yuan a piece of paper with his name and some information on it. The moment Ren Yuan saw the name, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Strange, why is he here?"
