Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Beneath the walls of Liaoyang, Wu Song, leading a dozen or so elite Sky Guard soldiers, had already quietly arrived.

The city walls were in chaos, with torches flickering everywhere, and soldiers could be seen coming and going.

"Chief Wu, what should we do?"

The soldiers in the Sky Curtain said that under these circumstances, it would be very difficult to take the city gate without making a sound.

"What do you usually do when Sky Curtain encounters this kind of situation?"

Wu Song said, "Didn't you say you were professionals? Now you're asking me? What about your professionalism?"

"We usually sneak in, secretly knock people unconscious or something, and then do it without anyone noticing."

The soldiers from Sky Curtain said that their methods were more covert, but they couldn't be used in the current situation!

"Well, it seems that your approach won't work for now."

Wu Song said, "In the current situation, your sky screen method is obviously not going to work. We need to find another way."

"What does Chief Wu mean?"

"What I mean is, watch me now."

Wu Song looked around and found that there was a vendor selling late-night snacks by the roadside. Although he was frightened by the chaotic situation in the city, the vendor still had no intention of closing up shop. Even though he was trembling, he would continue to sell late-night snacks.

"Shopkeeper, where are you from? Why aren't you home so late? What are you selling?"

Wu Song loosened his collar slightly and then swayed a bit as he walked toward the late-night food stall.

"Oh, a customer has arrived. I'm from Jizhou, just out here to make a living. This is some homemade braised meat, piping hot, want some?"

Seeing customers coming in, the vendor quickly and enthusiastically introduced the product. Although Wu Song, the woodcutter, didn't look very rich, he was willing to sell whatever he could, and he had to be hospitable to his customers!

"Braised pork? Too greasy, I won't eat it. Do you have any wine?"

As Wu Song approached the stall, he could smell the delicious aroma, which suggested that the vendor had put in a lot of effort to make a living.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's homemade too, but there's not much, and it's a bit pricey. Business is slow because of the cold weather. It's two coins a bowl..."

"Give me the wine. It's not safe here. You should leave now."

Wu Song took out two taels of silver, placed them in the vendor's hand, and said to him in a low voice.

"Guest, guest..."

The vendor was startled. "Wait, what are you doing, customer?"

"Don't make a sound. Take the money, give me the wine, and you can leave. Remember, stay far away."

Wu Song reached out and picked up the two wine jars, then patted the vendor on the shoulder and said in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving now."

The vendor was also one to listen to advice. Seeing Wu Song's state, he didn't dare to stay any longer. Anyway, he had made enough money for the day, so he quickly left.

Seeing the vendor obediently pack up his stall, Wu Song nodded, then picked up the two wine jars and headed back.

"Chief Wu, what's going on?"

When they saw Wu Song return carrying two wine jars, everyone was even more bewildered.

No, Chief Wu, what are you trying to do?

"You don't know, do you? Back in Jingyanggang, if I hadn't had a drink with him first, I might not have been able to beat that tiger!"

Wu Song shook the two wine jars and then addressed the crowd.

"So, Chief Wu, you mean..."

The soldiers of Sky Curtain were a little dumbfounded. "Seriously, leader? Are you serious?"

"Hehe, my brother once said that wine is the essence of grain, and the more you drink, the younger you get!"

Wu Song laughed and said, then picked up the wine jar, tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth!

The wine was so much that a lot of it was spilled and splashed onto Wu Song's clothes!

"It tastes good. The vendor wasn't lying to me. His homemade wine does have some flavor, but it can't compare to the wine from Jingyanggang."

Wu Song quickly finished a jar of wine, and after drinking it, he even gave his evaluation.

"Chief Wu, what are you doing?"

The people in the Sky Curtain were stunned by Wu Song's actions. No, we know you're awesome, Chief Wu, but we really don't understand what you're doing!

"It's alright, just follow my signals in a bit. Oh, if you can't see me, that's fine too. Just observe the situation and decide for yourselves what to do."

Wu Song said that these were minor issues and nothing to worry about.

After saying that, he picked up another jar of wine, poured a little more than half of it on himself, and then staggered toward the city gate, leaving the soldiers of Tianmu looking at each other in bewilderment.

"How about we keep some distance from Chief Wu, but still follow behind him?"

"I think it's a good idea. Although Chief Wu is incredibly brave, he's too reckless and could easily get hurt!"

……

After discussing it, the generals of Tianmu decided to follow behind Wu Song to protect him and provide support in case of emergency.

Wu Song, completely disregarding the situation behind him, carried the wine jar and staggered closer and closer to the city gate.

"Hey, are you out of your mind, guest?"

Just as he was about halfway to the city gate, a figure suddenly emerged from the alley and blocked his way.

Wu Song looked closely and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that the same vendor from before?"

"Guest, are you drunk? Why are you heading towards the city gate? It's chaotic up there. Going there now would be suicide!"

The peddler was packing up to leave when he suddenly remembered that Wu Song had given him two taels of silver. He couldn't understand why a woodcutter would spend his hard-earned money on two jars of wine, so he turned back. Just then, he saw Wu Song staggering toward the city gate. Fearing that Wu Song would lose his life, he quickly stopped him.

"Guest, listen to me. Living is the most important thing. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. This two taels of silver should be your savings. I don't want it. Here you go. Consider this wine my treat. Hurry up and leave with me. If you don't leave now, those Liao people will come. You will definitely lose your money, and you might even lose your life!"

The vendor stuffed the two taels of silver back into Wu Song's hand and then tried to pull him away, because it seemed that the panicked soldiers on the city gate had already noticed the situation.

"Shopkeeper, you're a nice person."

Wu Song's drunken eyes cleared instantly, and he grabbed the vendor with his large hand, whispering in his ear in an unquestionable voice:

“My brothers are not far behind me. Don’t say anything or look back. Just keep walking forward, and they will come to your aid.”

"As for me, don't worry. In my eyes, these Liao people are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs."

"The Liao people have been lording it over here for too long, and they have forgotten how their ancestors knelt at the feet of our ancestors and begged for mercy."

After Wu Song finished speaking, he pushed the vendor forcefully behind him. Before the vendor could say anything, the soldiers from the Sky Guardian Army who had caught up with him covered his mouth and took him to a side alley!

Wu Song, on the other hand, continued walking towards the city gate!

"Who are you people? Are you out of your minds?!"

The vendor was dragged into an alley with his mouth covered. When he was finally able to speak, he quickly asked in a low voice.

"We are here to liberate Liaoyang!"

"Solve what?"

The vendor didn't understand.

"Rescue our compatriots and liberate everyone from the rule of the Liao people!"

The soldiers in the sky explained.

"You, you are... government troops?!"

The vendor was stunned. When did the government troops actually reach Liaoyang?!

Is he dreaming?

“The government troops, yes, but we are not the government troops of the Song Dynasty.”

"You're not from the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty is gone?"

The vendor was dumbfounded once again.

"The Song Dynasty still exists, but now it's our Dayi that's going to fight the Liao people. Fellow countryman, you'd better stay far away for a while. Survive and see how good life will be for the people under the rule of Dayi!"

"Then, then he is..."

The vendor pointed at Wu Song's back with some surprise.

"He is a fierce general of our Dayi Infantry. Just watch, in front of him, the guards at this city gate are nothing but chickens and dogs!"
