The strongest nine thousand years old on earth, I will take charge of the harem on behalf of the emp

After breakfast,

Li Changsheng, Xiao Qi, Jiang Li, as well as the county magistrate Du Yuan and the county magistrate Zhang Zhi, gathered together for a meeting.

There is only one topic for the meeting.

Which hill should we start from to suppress the bandits?

Due to the political instability in the court in recent years.

In addition, natural disasters occur frequently, corrupt officials are rampant, and land annexation is extremely serious.

Various buffs that would lead to the destruction of a country were stacked together crazily.

Even the people in the capital area could not bear the heavy burden.

Even the entire village was forced to join the Liangshan bandits.

There is no other way. If you don't become a bandit, you can't survive in this world where people eat each other.

As a result, hundreds of bandit camps, large and small, gathered around the entire capital.

There are dozens of them at least and hundreds of them at most.

Originally, these bandits were fighting each other and were not a powerful force.

A hundred or so county yamen runners can basically suppress the rebellion.

Later, people from the Tiandao League came to preach in the surrounding area and organized them.

This means that the bandits in the capital area are no longer just bandits.

Compared with the rebels in Yannan, the only thing they lack is raising a rebellious flag.

After the various integrations of the Tiandao League during this period.

Today, these hundreds of bandit strongholds are located on three large hills.

Funiu Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, and Wohu Ridge.

The number of people ranges from thousands to tens of thousands.

Such a large bandit force could naturally not be suppressed by the few yamen runners in the surrounding counties.

However, these local officials were worried about losing their official positions, so they deliberately concealed the facts and tried to whitewash the situation.

They just regularly gave a portion of the people's wealth and money they plundered to these three kings.

It’s like spending money to buy peace!

The area within the county town is under the jurisdiction of the government.

Outside the county town, it was ruled by bandits.

A delicate balance was barely reached between them.

Originally, everyone lived in peace.

But who would have thought that the Dragon and Tiger brothers from Shouyang Mountain were lured by King Yingguang of Zhao and went to Shendu to develop.

God knows what happened, a fight broke out for no apparent reason.

They even burned down the King of Zhao's mansion.

This caused the court to be furious.

They began to send large armies to the capital to suppress the bandits.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, Jiang Li looked down upon others and said with disdain:

"They're just a bunch of bandits! I only need to lead 3,000 of my own troops and I can wipe them out like the wind sweeping away fallen leaves!"

Xiao Qi refused to be outdone and said, "Why do we need three thousand men? Two thousand of my Tiger Wing Guards are enough!"

Seeing that Xiao Qi was showing off by stepping on him, Jiang Li was unwilling to be outdone and rolled him up directly.

"I am a Dragon Guard, one thousand are enough!"

Xiao Qi retorted: "I am a Tiger Wing Guard, five hundred will be enough!"

When Li Changsheng saw them making a fuss, he quickly tried to stop them.

"Generals, this bandit suppression is no joke, don't get angry!"

Xiao Qi said, "General Manager Li, this general is not angry. Five hundred Tiger Wing Guards are really enough to sweep through!"

Jiang Li snorted angrily, "Humph, you're saying that my five hundred Dragon Guards can't sweep through!"

Li Changsheng said, "Generals, I heard from County Magistrate Du that there are tens of thousands of bandits in Funiu Mountain, Wohu Ridge, and Shouyang Mountain. They should not be underestimated!"

Jiang Li said disdainfully, "Manager Li, you've never fought in a war, so you don't understand these things. Those bandits, no matter how many there are, are just a mob. There's nothing to worry about!"

This time, Xiao Qi did not refute Jiang Li's point of view. Instead, he joined the other party in saying that Li Changsheng did not understand military affairs and so on.

Seeing their firm attitude, Li Changsheng, as the military supervisor, stopped insisting.

Finally, just to be on the safe side.

Jiang Li and Xiao Qi each led a thousand men from their own unit and went to suppress the bandits separately.

Among them, Jiang Li attacked Funiu Mountain.

Xiao Qi went to attack Wohu Ridge.

As for the remaining 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Li Changsheng planned to leave two thousand of them in Yanshi City as a reserve army.

The remaining 4,000 people were led by him, the military supervisor, to Shouyang Mountain to suppress the bandits.

After hearing Li Changsheng's decision, Jiang Li and Xiao Qi laughed at him in their hearts, saying that he was indeed a coward.

Ever since the Dragon and Tiger brothers were destroyed in Shendu, the bandits in Shouyang Mountain have become less of a force to be reckoned with.

In order to wipe out this insignificant group of bandits, Li Changsheng actually had to lead an army of 4,000 elite soldiers, which was simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Of course, both Xiao Qi and Jiang Li were just mocking him in their hearts, and no one showed it directly on their faces.

After all, Li Changsheng is now the military supervisor.

Representing His Majesty the Emperor.

Unless there is a substantial conflict of interest, they naturally would not take the initiative to slap the face of the military inspector.

The plan to suppress the bandits was finalized in the afternoon.

However, the news reached Laojun Mountain that night.

Laojun Mountain is the main peak of Funiu Mountain.

Legend has it that this is the place where Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching and rode a green ox after leaving Hangu Pass.

Therefore, it is said that this place is the Taoist temple of Laozi and Taishang Laojun.

Hence the name Laojun Mountain.

The Tiandao League respects the Tiandao, headed by the Three Pure Ones.

Laojun Mountain naturally became an important stronghold of the Tiandao League.

At this time, two slim young women were on the top of the mountain, gazing at the starry sky.

If Li Changsheng were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the identity of one of them.

The Holy Maiden of the Tiandao League, Bian Yue!

The other one is her sister, Hongxiu, the granddaughter of the Tiandao League’s great elder!

"Saintess, our spies in Yanshi City just reported that Jiang Li and Xiao Qi each led a thousand elite soldiers under their command to Funiu Mountain and Crouching Tiger Ridge respectively!"

Bian Yue asked doubtfully, "Didn't the spies from the Divine Capital say that they would have nearly 10,000 men on this expedition?"

"How come these two commanders each lead a thousand elite soldiers? Where are the other main forces?"

Hongxiu said: "Most of them went to Shouyang Mountain!"

Bian Yue said, "Didn't the Dragon and Tiger Gang entrenched in Shouyang Mountain be wiped out? Is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?"

Hongxiu did not answer directly, but kept the question in suspense.

"Saintess, guess who led the troops to suppress the bandits at Shouyang Mountain?"

Seeing Hongxiu's strange expression, Bian Yue casually asked, "Why, do I know this person?"

Hongxiu thought for a moment and said, "You can be considered acquaintances. At least you have met once!"

Bian Yue guessed several names in succession.

Hongxiu shook her head.

Bian Yue was getting a little impatient and said, "Stop guessing. Just tell me who it is and stop keeping us in suspense!"

Hongxiu said: "It's Li Changsheng!"

Bian Yue asked, "Who is the little eunuch who might have taken my Saint Maiden Token?"

Hongxiu nodded and said, "Yes, that's him. He's the supervisor of the bandit suppression this time!"

Bian Yue said, "I remember when he was in the Xiao family, he was just a young eunuch. I never expected that in just one month, he would become a military supervisor!"

Hongxiu said, "According to the information given by the spies in the palace, this Li Changsheng is indeed a man of character. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been entrusted with such an important task by the dog emperor as the military supervisor!"

Bian Yue pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how powerful Li Changsheng is, he is still just a small eunuch. He can't cause any big trouble. Let's ignore him for now!"

"Since Jiang Li and Xiao Qi are so careless, we should seize this golden opportunity and eat them both first!"

Hongxiu asked, "So which one should we eat first this time?"

Bian Yue said: "Since they only have a thousand people, let's eat them both together."

Hongxiu said, "Should we send out our people?"

Bian Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Although the combined number of people on Funiu Mountain and Wohu Ridge exceeds ten thousand, they are just a mob."

"Although Jiang Li and Xiao Qi only have a thousand men under their command, they are all elite soldiers in armor."

"If our people don't take the lead, it will be difficult to eat it!"

"Moreover, the more noise we make here, the more attention we will attract from the imperial court. This way, we can reduce the pressure on Yannan!"

Hongxiu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

"This time, we must cast a net to capture Jiang Li and Xiao Qi."

"When the time comes, the dog emperor of the Divine Capital and all the beasts in human form in the court will be scared to death!"
