Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Yelü Zhangnu never imagined that one day he would risk his life for his two nephews.

He and Ren Yuan were not even in the same league! Under Ren Yuan's relentless barrage of attacks with his three-pronged blade, he could only hold up his shield and tough it out!

Although his shield wasn't a standard one, it was no match for Ren Yuan's three-pronged sword. In addition, Ren Yuan's every strike was imbued with ferocious power, and his shield shattered after only a short time!

After Ren Yuan broke Yelü Zhangnu's shield, Yelü Zhangnu could only let Ren Yuan do as he pleased. Ren Yuan didn't tolerate him and with a backhand slash, knocked Yelü Zhangnu's sword away, disarming him directly!

"I'll fight you!"

Without his main weapon, Yelü Zhangnu was filled with shame and indignation. He drew the dagger from his waist and made a move to fight Ren Yuan to the death.

Ren Yuan wasn't going to tolerate him. After a cold laugh, he used the tip of his three-pointed knife to stab Yelü Zhangnu's arm, which was holding a dagger, right through it!

"what!!!"

Yelü Zhangnu cried out in pain, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

"Come here you go!"

Ren Yuan seized the opportunity, reached out with one hand, grabbed Yelü Zhangnu's belt who was still howling, and pulled hard, dragging him off the horse!

After capturing Yelü Zhangnu alive, Ren Yuan stuck the three-pointed sword into the ground, then used his palm as a sword and forcefully chopped at the back of Yelü Zhangnu's neck!

This knocked out Yelü Zhangnu, who was still groaning and moaning!

Then, Ren Yuan lifted him above his head with one hand and addressed the entire Liao cavalry:

"Your commander has been captured! Why don't you dismount and surrender now!"

First, he shot down the commander's flag, then he chopped down Aliqi, and finally he captured Yelü Zhangnu. Ren Yuan's series of actions taught the Liao people a lesson!

Many Liao cavalrymen had lost their will to fight. Although they were still resisting, they suddenly fell from their horses and surrendered.

After all, the general and the commander-in-chief have already been defeated, so what's the point of continuing to resist?

Meanwhile, Lin Chong led a portion of his troops and successfully stormed into the Liao army camp, beginning to hunt down the Liao soldiers inside.

"Commander! Some Liao soldiers are running towards the back gate!"

Lin Chong, who was in a relaxed state of mind, suddenly perked up when he heard a soldier say that, and rode his little white dragon to chase after the camp!

During his pursuit, he bumped into a man who looked like a general! This man was leading over a hundred men, carrying large and small bags, and was about to run towards the back of the military camp when Lin Chong blocked him and his horse!

Are you Han Chinese?

After surrounding them, Lin Chong looked at the leader's attire and had some questions.

"I am General Cao Mingji! Who are you!"

That's right, Lin Chong ran into Cao Mingji, who was preparing to flee.

Actually, he wasn't really planning to run away, but when he was about to leave the tent, he discovered that Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao were leading a large number of troops and retreating towards the back gate of the military camp.

Although Cao Mingji didn't know exactly what had happened, his intuition told him that the Liao people's sudden escape must be a big deal, and the battle couldn't be fought!

That's why he called on his closest confidants, quickly packed some things, and prepared to run away in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, before they could even escape, Lin Chong caught them red-handed!

"Lin Chong, the commander of the Great Yi Heavenly Cavalry, Leopard Head, if you know what's good for you, dismount..."

Before Lin Chong could finish speaking, Cao Mingji suddenly dismounted and kowtowed to Lin Chong!

"General! General! I, Old Cao, have been waiting for you with great anticipation!"

The cavalrymen behind him, upon seeing their commander dismount and kowtow to the soldiers, did not hesitate at all to dismount and kowtow to the Heavenly Cavalry as well!

This move left Lin Chong somewhat confused. What was Cao Mingji up to?

"Hey, you're not hiding a weapon in your sleeve, are you planning to ambush me?"

Lin Chong used his eighteen-foot steel spear to pry open Cao Mingji's armor, and only after finding no hidden weapons inside did he feel relieved.

"General! We are Han Chinese! Han Chinese don't fight Han Chinese! That's our rule!"

Cao Mingji looked up and gazed at Lin Chong with great sincerity.

"General, you have no idea how low the status of us Han people is in the Liao Kingdom! I have been thinking about this day and night, year after year, hoping that our Central Plains dynasty will send someone to sweep away the Liao Kingdom!"

"If you hate the Liao Kingdom so much, why are you still a general of the Liao Kingdom?"

Lin Chong was clearly not someone who would be easily fooled now. He said to Cao Mingji, "Since you've said that, then explain why you're in the Liao army."

"General, I was just joking!"

To everyone's surprise, Cao Mingji just quit!

"General, you don't know this. The Liao people don't treat Han people as human beings. Whether in the martial world or in the imperial court, Han people are destined to work for the Liao people. How could they possibly have high-ranking positions and generous salaries?"

"Moreover, if anything goes wrong, the Liao people will be fine, but the Han people will be punished along with the Liao people, even if they haven't made any mistakes!"

Whether Cao Mingji got carried away or not, his words ultimately cut off his path back to Liao.

"I was born in the Liao Kingdom and have been bullied like this for over thirty years! General, do you know how I've lived these past thirty years?"

"Didn't you become a general? Isn't that great?"

While signaling his soldiers to disarm Cao Mingji's men, Lin Chong asked them a question. Throughout the entire process, the tip of Lin Chong's eighteen-foot steel spear remained not far from his throat.

"That's what I got by saying those insincere flattering words! That's what I got by trading my hard-earned money!"

Cao Mingji began to vehemently criticize the Liao people:

"General, the Liao people are not human! When we were young, we always said that the Liao and Han were one family, and that the Han people in the Liao Kingdom could live just like the Liao people!"

"But what was the result? In the Liao Kingdom, Han Chinese were treated like cattle, pigs, dogs, or even worse than pigs and dogs! The hardest and most tiring jobs, the jobs that the Liao people were unwilling to do, were all done by the Han Chinese!"

"If a Liao person kills a Han person, they only need to pay some compensation. But if a Han person kills a Liao person, their whole family will lose their head!"

"If we want to survive in the Liao Kingdom, we have to please the Liao people! If they're happy, they'll give us some gifts!"

As Cao Mingji spoke, he became more and more heartbroken, and in the end, whether it was acting or not, this man actually started to cry!

"Why are you crying, you grown man?! I ask you, if the Liao people are like this, then why do you still serve them? Why don't you resist?"

Lin Chong did not understand.

"Resist? General, before you arrived, the Liao people were powerful. To resist meant certain death!"

"Life is only once, and it's better to live a miserable life than to die. I didn't want to die, so I joined the Liao army."

"You joined the Liao army and helped the Liao people fight against the Han people. What is this? You are aiding and abetting evil! You think I'll spare you?"

Lin Chong held his eighteen-foot steel spear horizontally, looking on with surprise.

No, what was this Liao general thinking?

"General! I am willing to atone for my crimes with meritorious service! Those who just fled ahead were two imperial nephews of the Liao Kingdom! I am willing to exchange their heads for my life!"

Cao Mingji gritted his teeth and continued kowtowing!

"I joined the Liao army only to survive! But I have never forgotten that I am a Han Chinese!"

"General, please give me a chance!"
