Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother, Military Advisor Xiao is requesting reinforcements!"

Inside Liaoyang City, Ren Yuan and his group had only been back for a few days when they received a letter from Xiao Jiasui requesting assistance.

"Xiao Jiasui, who fears nothing and no one, actually asked for help?"

Ren Yuan was taken aback, then quickly straightened up, took the letter, and read it carefully.

This was the first time Xiao Jiasui had requested reinforcements since the Liangshan uprising began.

If even Xiao Jiasui has to request help, then this matter must be quite serious.

"Brother, why is Old Xiao asking for help?"

Hsu Kuan-chung and Hsiao Chia-hui had a very good relationship. When he heard that Hsiao Chia-hui needed help, he immediately put down his work and rushed over.

"Guanzhong, don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Ren Yuan comforted Xu Guanzhong and then handed him the letter.

"Old Xiao said that he had encountered a member of the Liao royal family and was worried that our identities would be exposed. In order to avoid being caught in a pincer movement between the Liao and the Song, he suggested that the navy quickly block the waterways."

"As for news from the land route, he hopes that our forces in the capital will intercept and kill the Liao envoys."

"Old Xiao has considered everything very thoroughly."

Xu Guanzhong nodded as he read the letter.

"But the Liao Kingdom actually has such a capable general. Old Xiao said that Brother Wei Dingguo was seriously injured this time and can no longer stay on the front line. He needs to come back and recuperate for a while."

"Well, Brother Wei is unlucky. That Yelü Zhangnu is ranked at the top among all the Liao generals."

Ren Yuan wasn't talking nonsense. If it weren't for the existence of Wuyan Guang in this timeline, Yelü Zhangnu would actually be one of the last few leaders of the Liao royal family.

"Guanzhong, I need to go to Liaozhou City. Liaoyang has just been captured and will be the capital for some time to come. You need to keep an eye on it for me. I'll leave my second senior brother behind, so you'll have someone to help you if anything happens."

Ren Yuan decided to go and provide support in person.

"Is brother planning to go himself?"

Xu Guanzhong originally wanted to volunteer, but unexpectedly, the other person wanted to go on their own and even spoke up before him.

“Yes, I will go myself. You are both literate and martial, and you will be more useful in Liaoyang than I am. With my second senior brother’s help, Liaoyang will be safe.”

"I'm going to Liaozhou to oversee the battle. This battle will surely make our Dayi famous. So what if the Liao people suspect our identities? If they say they'll destroy them, then we'll destroy them!"

Ren Yuan personally took to the field this time, intending to behead one or two members of the Yelü family as a greeting gift to Emperor Tianzuo.

"Brother, the Liao people are not to be underestimated. If you go into battle, you need to be extra careful."

Xu Guanzhong didn't stop Ren Yuan, mainly because he knew he couldn't stop him anyway.

"Don't worry, when my senior brother and I go into battle together, we're basically invincible."

Ren Yuan stated that with Lin Chong present, his combined forces would be a formidable opponent for the Liao Kingdom, unless they fielded Wuyan Guang and his subordinates.

However, according to recent news, Wuyan Guang has now fallen out with the Liao royal family and seems to have established his own Western Liao.

Ren Yuan was somewhat puzzled at the time. Western Liao? Wasn't that Yelü Dashi? How come Wuyan Guang stole the show?

"Brother, we must not underestimate the enemy. By the way, the military governors are still in Liangshan, and the old generals are still strong. We also promised them that they would not lead troops to face Zhao Song. So, brother, why don't we transfer a few old generals over here to be in charge of guarding the border?"

Xu Guanzhong said that the military governors on Liangshan were all people who once guarded their respective regions. Although they are old, they are now at the age to fight!

Who are you planning to send?

Ren Yuan thought about it and agreed with Xu Guanzhong's idea. Indeed, with the abilities of those military governors, maintaining the status quo would definitely not be a problem.

"Let General Wang and General Zhang come."

Xu Guanzhong didn't think much and directly selected Wang Huan and Zhang Kai, who were the best fighters.

"You picked a pretty good one."

Ren Yuan shrugged. "Let General Xu come out too. He has a good relationship with Mr. Wen. Let him help him guard the city."

"Alright, I'll send the trolls back to pick them up right away!"

Hsu Kuan-chung said that when it comes to picking people up, it's important to be quick!

……

A few days later, Huanglong Prefecture.

"Brother! Brother! Breaking news! In Liaozhou, the Liao people have been beaten!"

Wanyan Wuqimai came in from outside early in the morning, shouting to tell his elder brother the good news.

"Who did this?"

Wanyan Aguda was somewhat surprised. No wonder Yelü Yanxi ran away halfway through the Battle of Hubudagang. It turned out that his home, Tokyo, had been lost!

"I don't know. Our people in the capital say they seem to be from the Song Dynasty, but they don't identify themselves as Song people. Instead, they call themselves Da, Da, Da Yi! Yes, they are Da Yi people!"

Wanyan Wuqimai said, "No matter where you are from, as long as you fight the Liao people, I, Wuqimai, am willing to be your friend!"

"Dayi? It seems that there has been a rebellion in Zhao Song, and quite successfully at that. It is not easy to suppress the local Gao family in Bohai."

Wanyan Aguda thought it was a rebellion by some Song people in the Bohai region.

"Your Majesty, the scouts say that these people seem to be quite influential, not just in Bohai, but the scouts haven't found out any more specific details yet."

"Not just in Bohai? So you mean, these were people from the Zhao Song territory who attacked Bohai? Then why is Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom unaffected?"

Wanyan Aguda didn't quite understand.

“I don’t know either. By the way, Your Majesty, didn’t the Imperial Son-in-Law rebel against the Song Dynasty before? We can ask him. Maybe he can tell us who this person is.”

“That makes sense. Summon the Prince Consort. My brother, I was thinking of sending someone to Zhao Song to form an alliance with them, but it seems there’s no need for that now.”

Wanyan Aguda did initially have the idea of ​​allying with the Song Dynasty to resist the Liao Dynasty, but he never had the chance to implement it. In his view, if the Song Dynasty was willing to help him, he would not mind dividing the Liao Dynasty with the Song Dynasty within a few years.

"Brother, don't join forces with the Song people. They're a bunch of good-for-nothings. Just looking at them makes me feel unlucky."

Wanyan Wuqimai stated that even if he were to die in battle, he would not join forces with the Song people.

"Let our spies in the capital work harder to get more accurate intelligence!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Xijing.

"What? Yelü Zhangnu was defeated in Liaozhou by people suspected to be from the Song Dynasty? And now he's been failing to capture the city for days and is requesting reinforcements?"

Wu Yanguang frowned as he looked at the message handed to him by his subordinate.

Tokyo has fallen! And Yelü Zhangnu, a famous general of the Liao Dynasty, actually suffered a loss? Or was it a loss to the Song people?

"General, should we provide support?"

Although she and Wuyan Guang had already consummated their marriage, Dalibo seemed to prefer calling him "Great Commander," especially when the two of them were riding horses together. Calling him "Great Commander" felt very meaningful.

"Let's not go for now. If we retreat, the Jurchens will take advantage of the situation and we'll have to let Yelü Yanxi handle the problems in the south! The Yelü family has plenty of capable people. If he can't use them, then he deserves to lose his position..."
