The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

According to the scouts' report, except for some of the Yunnan Army's former Nanmeng generals, the rest were all various plant and wood spirits that looked like humans.

The term "King of Grass and Trees" was not used correctly at all.

"I didn't expect this remote place could be so hidden." Li Benshen murmured.

But then he shook his head vigorously.

Now is not the time to think about such things.

"Five thousand against one hundred thousand."

“What the hell are you hitting with this!?”

Li Benshen shouted in despair.

He knew very well what abilities he had, and he knew that he could fight a few favorable battles and take advantage of a few weaklings.

But this kind of situation with famous generals was obviously not something he could handle.

or-

Abandon the city and flee?

Li Benshen had the urge to escape.

But he didn't dare

According to the laws of Dazhu, if a military officer died in battle, it would only be his misfortune, but if he escaped, his entire family would have to go with him.

Just when the Guizhou governor was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Admiral, great news!"

One of his subordinates rushed into Li Benshen's residence with a flushed face.

"What good news?" Li Benshen asked subconsciously.

"A few local guerrillas have expressed their willingness to send troops to help."

"The chieftain's barbaric soldiers?" Li Benshen blinked.

Tusi, also known as native official.

It was a hereditary official position established in the southwest region and was held by local ethnic minority chiefs or leaders.

The court's requirements for them were basically to pay some taxes and not rebel, and the rest...

Do whatever you want on your own turf.

Therefore, these people often have a huge influence in the local area, and in many places they control both military and political power. Most of them also have their own private armies.

For various reasons, they also liked to attack each other or plunder counties, which caused a lot of headaches for the successive southwestern local officials.

But now?

Surprise, absolute surprise!

When there are no soldiers, the chieftains' barbarian soldiers have always been an important source of additional troops.

And

The barbarians in the mountains and forests are almost all brave hunters. It is really perfect for them to deal with the monsters running out of the deep mountains.

"Very good!"

"That's great!"

Li Benshen was overjoyed.

"What tribes are there?"

"Who's leading?"

"There should be twenty or thirty larger tribes." The general answered respectfully.

"The leader is the Gepu tribe."

"The total number is about 30,000 to 40,000."

Li Benshen's face suddenly froze.

"Gepu tribe?"

Isn't that a famous troublemaker?

These guys are basically unwilling to engage in smuggling and human trafficking honestly.

They were always fighting or robbing people, and they always liked to kidnap people to serve as slaves. They also kept complaining that the rewards from the court were not enough.

How could these guys think of helping the imperial court instead of taking advantage of the situation?

Is it true that loyal ministers are revealed in times of national crisis?

Anyway, Li Benshen didn't believe it.

"......Admiral." The general saw Li Benshen's confusion.

"Well, the amount of reward they asked for is a bit, uh..."

"Okay." Li Benshen rubbed his forehead.

It turns out to be another form of looting.

"It's time for the lion to open his mouth."

understandable

“Send someone to have a good talk with them.

Li Benzhen said.

"We must find a way to pull these chieftains' barbaric soldiers over here."

"If we can have such a fresh force, it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy."

A mountain village in Guizhou.

"Hahaha!!"

A big man wearing a satin coat, adorned with various gems and with feathers in his hair, burst into the room laughing.

“Silver beads.

The big man said happily.

"You truly are the most shining pearl in the mountains!"

"accepted."

"Our terms."

"The admiral has agreed to everything."

"Hahaha!!"

"That's three years' income for our Pu tribe!"

The big man sighed.

“In the past, I don’t know how many counties and caravans I would have to rob to get this much treasure.

"We will also have to fight countless troops and countless brave warriors will die.

"In the end, you just use your brain and you get everything."

"I never thought that your brain would become so effective, Yinzhu."

The big man scratched his face.

"Is the spring water in the mountains so powerful?"

"I'll go take a dip someday."

"Maybe the mountain god will bless me."

The big man was called Ge Pu Jinyin, and he was the chieftain of the local Pu tribe.

In his memory, his sister named Yinzhu was just a shy and taciturn little girl.

But after falling into the water one time, Yinzhu seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

He became eloquent, graceful, and made all kinds of strange little inventions, which created a huge wave of income for Ge Pu.

It is said that she was blessed by the mountain god.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." A female voice as sweet and melodious as an oriole came.

"Brother Jinyin, I've already told you this."

"In terms of bravery, I'm certainly not even one ten-thousandth as brave as my brother."

The source of the voice was a pretty girl in the house.

-The aqua blue dress flows down like a waterfall, and the intricate and exaggerated silver ornaments on her forehead, arms and waist are like shining stars guarding the girl, further highlighting her charm.

The girl named Ge Pu Yinzhu kicked the slave girl crawling at her feet, signaling her to get some fruits.

The slave girl, with whip marks still on her face, walked away timidly.

"But when it comes to using your brain," Ge Pu Yinzhu continued.

"Brother, you are not even one ten-thousandth of me."

"Yeah, yeah." Ge Pu Jinyin nodded repeatedly.

"So before my father passed away, let me listen to you more, Yinzhu."

"Silver beads."

"What should we do now?"

Ge Pu Jinyin rubbed his hands.

"As soon as we get the money, we'll turn hostile and take the opportunity to plunder a few more counties, how about that?"

"......" Ge Pu Yinzhu looked at her brother with eyes that cared for a fool.

"I said brother

"Can't you use your brain for a moment?"

"You don't even think about it."

"How does the wealth we obtained this time compare to before?"

"That's many times more." Ge Pu Jinyin said without hesitation.

"Why?" Ge Pu Yinzhu coaxed.

"Because Li Benshen is a high-ranking official in the imperial court." Ge Pu Jinyin thought for a while.

“Very rich.

"A portion of Guizhou's taxes must be handed over to him." Ge Pu Jinyin said enviously.

"It's easy for him to rob the rich people in the city. He doesn't even need to use a knife, he can just use his mouth."

"Furthermore, the imperial court will allocate additional funds to him from other places..."

"Isn't that right?" Ge Pu Yinzhu spread out his hands.

"Brother, do you want to live a life where you can just open your mouth and people will give you gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women?"

"Wearing silk and satin, and eating delicacies from land and sea?"

"I do, I do, of course I do!" Ge Pu Jinyin's head was pounding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Then brother, from now on, you have to listen to me carefully!" Ge Pu Yinzhu raised his eyebrows.

She quickly analyzed the situation for Ge Pu Jinyin.

"Right now, bandits in southern Yunnan are plotting rebellion, and all the mountain spirits and wild monsters have entered Guizhou."

"But there aren't many local troops in Guizhou."

"In the past, the suppression of local officials' disturbances was always handled by the Prince of Pingxi."

"Now that the King of Pingxi is dead and the Wu clan is destroyed, the gates of Guizhou are wide open, but there are no soldiers available."
