Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Li Shushu, if you don't know how to lead your Goryeo cavalry, then give them to me!"

The Koreans can only eke out a living in a tiny corner of their western border.

As the illegitimate son of the former head of the Li family in Renzhou, Li Shushu is also having a hard time now.

Even in this tiny, remote corner of the world, the Koreans are still engaged in all sorts of power grabs.

Currently, there are the Goryeo Wang family, the Goryeo Gong family, the Goryeo Park family, and the Goryeo Lee family, represented by Lee Seo-seo personally.

In such a tiny place, four families are vying for power and profit, each claiming that their own family is the rightful heir.

What kind of orthodoxy is this? A bunch of good-for-nothings?

"I'm not good enough? Park Chang-ho, if it weren't for your poor command, we wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat! And now you're turning around and saying I'm not good enough? Do you think you're still the great general you used to be?"

Li Shushu didn't hold back in exchanging insults with Park Chang-ho. Although the Li family, which he personally represented, had the smallest territory, the cavalry under Li Shushu's command accounted for almost 80% of the total number of Goryeo cavalry!

Therefore, Li Shushu was very confident. If Goryeo didn't have him, then everyone else would be trash!

"Stop arguing! You two always fight during meetings. How are we supposed to solve anything like this?"

Gong Xin is the representative of the Gong family of Goryeo. Their family was originally from Goryeo, but they were later usurped.

But the Gong family never gave up their dream of restoring their kingdom, and they continued to travel around Goryeo.

Originally, the Jeolla Province of Goryeo was the stronghold of the Gong family, but later a portion of the Gong family secretly moved north and settled near the western and eastern borders.

When Liangshan conquered Jeolla Province, the Gong family was still very arrogant, thinking that they had come to help the Gong family restore their country. They even sent a so-called envoy to meet with Xu Guanzhong and others.

As a result, they were severely defeated, and incidentally, the entire Gung family of Jeolla Province was wiped out.

"To be honest, when the four of us discuss issues, it's always basically a two-to-two vote. That's definitely not going to solve anything. So I propose that we add another seat so that all five of us can discuss issues together. That way, we won't have any ties."

The speaker was Wang Yu, the representative of the Goryeo royal family. He was the younger brother of the former Goryeo king, Wang Yu, and was granted the title of Duke of Daewon.

After Wang Yu was killed, Wang Xiao became the representative figure of the Goryeo royal family. Wang Xiao also looked down on Li Shushu, so he allied with Park Chang-ho and usually opposed Li Shushu.

However, because the Wang and Park families were once subordinates of the Gong family, Gong Xin did not have a good relationship with them. Faced with the two allied forces, Gong Xin could only form an alliance with Li Shushu.

So now everything is really difficult in Goryeo, because the four major families are deadlocked. When problems arise, they argue, vote, and tie; then they argue again, vote, and tie again, and the cycle repeats.

Wang Cha was, after all, Wang Yu's younger brother, and among everyone present, he was the one who had ever been closest to the throne of Goryeo!

To resolve this contentious issue, Wang Xiao decided to bring another family into the discussion!

"Another restaurant? Who should we go to?"

To be honest, no one is too willing to bring another family in. After all, Goryeo only has such a small area now, and it's already a bit tight for four families to share. If another family comes with me, then each family will get even less land and resources!

"Let's go with the Shin family, after all, the Shin family is a prominent family in our Goryeo."

Wang Xiao proposed that the Shen family be included in the core social class of Goryeo, so that it would be three against two.

"The Shen family? You've always been thinking about the family that helped your ancestors!"

Upon hearing that they wanted to bring the Shen family in, Gong Xin couldn't help but mock them, because when the Wang family overthrew the Gong family, the Shen family was one of the four generals under their command!

"What else? My Wang family doesn't remember them, but do you? Gong Xin, you're nothing but a stray dog, and your Gong family is nothing but trash who only dares to hide in the shadows."

Wang Xiao showed no mercy, after all, the grudges between their ancestors had not yet been resolved.

"Hey Wang, I've put up with you for too long. Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

Gong Xin couldn't hold back any longer, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up abruptly.

"Come on then! Anyone who doesn't come is a coward!"

Wang Xiao also slammed his fist on the table and stood up, directly challenging Gong Xin!

His confrontational approach actually had an advantage: Wang Xiao was young, only twenty-one years old, while Gong Xin was almost forty. Time waits for no one; young people have louder voices and better stamina.

"Sit down! Everyone sit down!"

"Brother Gong, please sit down first. Don't get too angry and hurt yourself."

Seeing that a full-blown fight was about to break out, Li Shushu quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"See? I told you, four families definitely can't make any decisions. We need a fifth family."

Wang Xiao stated that a fifth company is absolutely necessary; otherwise, some issues in Korea might never be resolved!

"Then why do you decide who the fifth force is? You've brought your lackeys in; that's unfair, I object!"

Gong Xin directly expressed his opposition!

"I agree with the Shen family."

Park Chang-ho and Wang Xiao are in cahoots; Wang Xiao agreed, and so did he.

"Then I object."

When Lee Seo-seo saw that Park Chang-ho had agreed, he resolutely objected.

"Look! Look! It's like this again!"

That's right, another tie. And with neither side confident of defeating the other without taking any damage, these kinds of meetings in Korea usually end in failure.

"I am not against the fifth faction, but I am against the Shen family."

Lee Seo-seo said that it was fine to add another family, but Park Chang-ho and his group were absolutely not allowed to join!

"Report! Report! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Just as the four were about to continue arguing, a soldier suddenly stumbled in!

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly! No rush."

The four people's attention was immediately diverted.

"Song, Song army, those same Song troops from last time, they're here again!"

"What Song army? Where did this Song army come from?"

The four of them were somewhat confused.

"It was...it was the army of the Liang King of the Zhao Song dynasty back then..."

Having experienced the previous battles, the soldiers now harbor great fear of the "Zhao Song Liang King" army.

"Them? What are they doing here?"

Gong Xin, Park Chang-ho, and Wang Xiao's impression of this "Zhao Song Liang King" army was still based on their invincible performance in Goryeo.

Children on the western border of Goryeo dared not cry loudly when they heard the name of this army.

Previously, these people were chased from south to north by the Liang King of Zhao Song, losing important prefectures and cities in Goryeo one after another, leaving them with no choice but to retreat to this place.

Now that they've run so far, why are the armies of the "Zhao Song Liang King" coming back again?

"Don't tell me they came from the sea again?"

Gong Xin looked at the soldier with disbelief.

"Zhao Yuan, the Prince of Liang of the Song Dynasty, has once again led a large army from the sea to Goryeo, just to fight us?"

"There are so many risks coming from the sea, is Zhao Yuan really going to take such a big gamble? Doesn't his emperor, Zhao Ji, have any objections?"
