The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Yun Zhi looked at the fifteen people sitting below, tapping the table silently with her right index finger.

"I called you here today for one reason only: to discuss the strategy for attacking the bandit stronghold."

Yun Zhi had wanted to attack the bandit camp before, but there were too few people who could fight at that time.

Now that numbers are no longer a problem, it’s time to put the attack on the bandit stronghold on the agenda.

Duan Yao, who was sitting below, heard this and asked, "My lord, are you saying that we want to attack Qinglong Village and Tianhu Village?"

Duan Yao has been practicing martial arts with his father for nearly ten years. With his decent skills, he defeated the team leader shortly after being selected into the guard team.

She has been in the top spot for more than a month now, and no one has pulled her down.

Yun Zhi nodded, "It is indeed those two bandit camps."

The two bandit camps have become increasingly arrogant in recent months, and their numbers are gradually increasing. They have intercepted the caravans they have set their sights on several times.

Now that it's fattened up, it's time to slaughter it.

"So please speak freely and discuss a suitable strategy."

As for strategies, Yun Zhi has quite a few in mind, but she can't always rely on herself for everything.

If she relies on herself alone, she will never achieve great things.

Only when there are enough outstanding people working together in the same direction can we reach the end.

Yun Zhi had just finished speaking.

One of the twelve squad leaders spoke indignantly, "I've long been fed up with those two bandit camps. I don't know how many innocent people they've killed. We may not have as many people as them, but we have martial arts skills, so wiping them out won't be a problem."

Yun Zhi looked at this strong and powerful man. It seemed that he was only suitable to be a soldier charging into battle, not a general. He was too reckless and had no brains.

Sure enough, as soon as he said it, someone refuted it.

"Do you mean to just attack directly? That would cause a lot of casualties and is not advisable."

The muscular man scratched his face embarrassedly. "It seems so. What can we do?"

"I think we can wait for them on their way down the mountain, kill them one by one, and wear down their numbers."

"Your idea doesn't seem feasible. Not only does it take too much time, but the bandits aren't stupid. If they find out someone hasn't returned, they'll either send a large number of people down to look for them, or simply stay in the mountains and not come out."

Duan Yao also joined the discussion, "Perhaps we can consider a sneak attack at night, after they fall asleep..."

She raised her hand and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

This method is somewhat feasible, unlike the previous ones.

"This method is indeed feasible, but there are variables. We're worried that someone might wake up during this time, or someone who's still awake might discover us. If he shouts loudly, everyone will wake up and become alert, making it difficult to kill them."

What other methods can be used?

At this time, Yun Jingxian also came up with a plan, "We can have a few people lure those bandits to an open area. Then our archers will fire a volley, catching them by surprise and killing more than half of them. This way, it will be easy to fight them."

"Hey, this one seems okay. Let's tentatively decide on it while we think of a few more."

"You can use smoke."

After hearing these words, Yun Zhi knew who said it. It must be Zhou Yifeng. This was probably his usual trick.

"After we use the smoke to confuse them, killing them will be a piece of cake."

When Zhou Yifeng said this, everyone around him widened their eyes.

It’s amazing, really amazing.

"Mr. Zhou's method is fine, let's use it."

"But there will probably be a few that slip through the net."

"It was just a few that slipped through the net, and they were dealt with in a flash."

Just when they decided to use Zhou Yifeng's method, Chen Yuanshu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Actually, we can poison it."

"Poisoning, what does Captain Chen mean by this?"

In the past two months, there have been six competitions between team captains.

Among the six times, Li Shun served three times and Chen Yuanshu served three times. Chen Yuanshu was the team leader during this ten-day period.

The two were equally skilled in martial arts and were making rapid progress.

Even those bodyguards who have learned martial arts for more than ten years cannot beat these two people who have only learned for less than two years.

A person with excellent talent in martial arts, even Zhou Yifeng said it was rare to see one.

One is strong, willing to study hard, and not afraid of hardship or fatigue.

Everyone admires Qiang, and the two are also admired by the guards.

Now, no one will say that the Chen family only gave birth to a useless girl.

It was also because of Chen Yuanshu that so many parents were willing to let their daughters sign up for the guard corps' expansion.

Everyone looked at Chen Yuanshu, waiting for her to tell them how she would poison the person.

"We can ask Doctor Qin for a colorless and odorless poison. When the bandit camp robs the caravan to celebrate, we can sprinkle it on their food and drinks. After all, who wouldn't want to eat and drink at a celebration banquet?"

Facing the burning gazes around him, Chen Yuanshu continued to finish what he had not said.

"As for the women abducted by the bandit camp, they will not be allowed to eat the food at the celebration banquet, so the only ones who will die are those who have lost all conscience."

The words just fell.

"Captain Chen's method is great. He can kill them directly with poison. There's no need to finish them off."

"Yes, this method is good. It's easy and effortless. When the time comes, we can have a few people with good Qinggong skills to poison the person."

This method is to achieve the goal without bloodshed.

When everyone agreed that this method was very good, Liu Anruo, who had been watching Yun Zhi out of the corner of his eye, discovered that when Chen Yuanshu finished talking about this method.

My lord, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

It seems that Chen Yuanshu will be reused in the future.

But it's also true that people with strong martial arts skills and good brains will certainly be given important positions.

Just as Liu Anruo thought, Yun Zhi did decide to use Chen Yuanshu's method after hearing it.

Chen Yuanshu is very suitable to be a general. He is brave and resourceful, and is a natural candidate for a general.

Yun Zhi knocked lightly on the table, and the voices praising Chen Yuanshu's method stopped.

"Follow Chen Yuanshu's method and select thirty people from the guard team. You, the team leaders, will arrange the selection and time. As for the innocent people in the bandit camp, bring them back."

"Yes, my lord, it is righteous."

"Okay, each of you go and do your own thing."

"Yes, my lord."

……

Yun Zhi had always known that the two bandit camps relied on robbing caravans and looting villages, so they probably had a lot of stuff stored up.

But I didn't expect there would be so much. The food from the two bandit camps combined was enough to feed 500 people for a year.

Perhaps it was because of the days of hunger before, so except for the big meal on the day when he robbed the caravan, he just ate normally the rest of the time.

Unexpectedly, these things that were stockpiled became a bargain for Yun Zhi.

Now that we have enough food and military force, it is time to recruit refugees again.

As for the number of refugees to be recruited, Yun Zhi initially decided on five hundred.
