(Watch the World Cup last night, sleeping during the day, and today I updated late, and the two chapters were updated together.)

The five hundred soldiers led by Liu Di have good combat effectiveness. All of them are the Ya Army, that is, the troops stationed in the Jieduan's territory. Compared with the Yawai army and the foreign troops, it is a difference between heaven and earth. Generally speaking, bandits appeared in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Jieduan, and most of them were wiped out by the Yawai army. These Yawai army were stationed near the cities under the jurisdiction of the Jieduan. They were treated poorly and had average combat effectiveness. When ordered to suppress the bandits, they were mostly robbed, and it was impossible to truly suppress the bandits.

Of course, it is also possible that the foreign soldiers were to encircle and suppress the bandits. These foreign soldiers were stationed in key areas of Guanjin, and were generally the Jiedushi who were located in the border areas, so they had the foreign soldiers. The main task was to defend against the outside world. However, in the future, many Jiedushi in the mainland also had the foreign soldiers. Although the Jiedushi was under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty court, as the strength of the court weakened, each Jiedushi had an independent territory and needed to be prepared for each other.

Unless you encounter a special situation, no military governor will send a tooth army to wipe out the bandits.

According to convention, Liu Di should first go to Liangzhou to meet with the governor of Shannan West Road, and then go to Bazhou. However, his father Liu Jurong had already contacted the governor of Shannan West Road. He also believed that since the bandits attacking the government army appeared on the outskirts of Wuling County, he would go directly to Wuling County. There was no big effect in going to the rest of the place. The task was to suppress bandits, not sightseeing, and completing the task earlier was the right way to go back early.

The Five Hundred Ya Army arrived at Wuling County, which caused a great sensation. After all, there were few such brave official troops in the small town.

Liu Di was still very happy and satisfied when he felt the surprise and admiration of the people.

The officials from Wuling County came to greet them. After entering the county government office, Liu Di directly made a request to wipe out the bandits immediately, hoping that the county government office would provide the situation of the bandits. Regarding this matter, Xiangyang had long sent letters to Liangzhou and Bazhou and other places.

Wuling County Magistrate Tan Mingxiao smiled and was not worried at all. Instead, he advised Liu Di to go to the banquet first. No matter what, the Ya Army rushed to hundreds of miles, which was very hard, and the county government had to entertain him well.

Due to Tan Mingxiao's face, Liu Di suppressed his anxious mood and followed him to the banquet.

After entering the restaurant, everyone took the seats in the main and second place, Liu Di sat in the main and Tan Mingxiao was with him.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Di still couldn't help but speak.

"Tan Mingfu, I came to Wuling County and was ordered to suppress the bandits, causing trouble to the county."

"Liu Duwei must not say this. Our county and Qingyuan County have always said that peace is fine. Unexpectedly, there were bandits who were crazy and dared to attack the court and attack the army of the court. I was very shocked and ashamed. However, when I heard that Liu Duwei led a large army to suppress the bandits, the shock in our county and Qingyuan County was very great. The bandits were trembling and could not control themselves. The bandits had already been brought to justice. The rest were all mobs, and Liu Duwei would definitely win a great victory."

Liu Di's expression was a little strange. He had originally come to Wuling County with confidence, just to make great contributions. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader had been arrested, and the credit was greatly reduced. Besides, if the bandits in the village were mobs, wouldn't it mean that the official army under Cao Quanzhi was even more powerful and was defeated by a group of mobs.

The key to Liu Di's promotion to the position of Duwei was Liu Jurong's influence. Besides, Liu Jurong, as the governor, could have appointed officials under his jurisdiction. This is why Liu Di wanted to prove his ability and eliminate everyone's doubts. This time he came to Wuling County, he was very excited.

Seeing that there was no smile on Liu Di's face, Tan Mingxiao felt a little sad, knowing that he must have not said good things, but he had already said it and could not take it back.

"Liu Duwei, the bandits' village, is located in Guanzhuang Town, nearly two hundred miles away. A total of more than 1,000 bandits gathered in Xiaoshan Forest, which harmed all directions. If Liu Du had not led the army to come, this county and Qingyuan County would not have much trouble. They were worried all day long. Now that Liu Duwei has arrived in this county, he would be at ease."

"Oh, what does Tan Mingfu mean? The bandit leader was captured? Aren't the bandits a mob? Do bandits still dare to be arrogant?"

When Hou Er and Yang Si came in, Liu Di had few expressions on his face. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on people like Hou Er and Yang Si. He was loyal ministers who did not serve the second master and betrayed his master. He was definitely not a good person, although there were many people like this now.

A smile appeared on Hou Er's face, which was a world of difference from when he was in the village. Yang Si was originally a gangster. When he came in, he tried hard to maintain his image. However, after years of habits, his every move revealed his gangster's nature.

Hou Er never thought that Liu Di, the son of Liu Jurong, the governor of Xiangyang, would personally lead the army to suppress the bandits. Isn’t this the best opportunity? He is very heartless, and it is also a helpless move to join Wuling County Magistrate Tan Mingxiao.

"Meet the commander Liu Du."

"You have to be welcome. Both of you are heroes. If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you will definitely be rewarded by the court. I appreciate it very much, but at this moment I am concerned about the situation of the parody. Time is precious. I must wipe out the parody in the fastest time."

"Don't worry, I will do my best. I am very familiar with the situation of the copycat. This is the topographic map of the copycat drawn by a certain person. The bandits in the copycat are all mobs, and Liu Duwei will definitely win a great victory."

Hou Er took out the drawn map from his arms and handed it to Liu Di.

When Liu Di took the map, he looked at Hou Er carefully.

Yang Si, behind Hou Er, was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity to curry favor, so he spoke.

"In fact, Liu Duwei can be in charge of Wuling County, and lead the way for the official army to ensure that the mountain village is completely wiped out."

The private room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Yang Si, including Hou Er, frowned.

Yang Si flattered the wrong place and committed a big taboo. Liu Di came to Wuling County to suppress the bandits, which proved that Xiangyang attaches great importance to this matter. Liu Di must make contributions and completely wipe out the counterfeits. You, a bandit who has not yet completely changed its identity, lead the way to suppress the bandits. The leader is sitting in the county town. Whose credit will be the result? If such a thing is spread, how do people evaluate Liu Di?

Liu Di looked at Yang Si, and a feeling of disgust was uncontrollably revealed.

"No need to worry, I have my own sense."

When leaving the restaurant, Hou Er's face returned to his previous expression.

Looking at Yang Si following behind him, Hou Er came to the scene without any trouble. It turned out that Yang Si was also a ghost mind. When he saw Liu Di, he thought about being able to curry favor with him and seeking a better future. When the two entered the restaurant, Hou Er repeatedly reminded Yang Si not to speak easily and to handle everything himself. Unfortunately, when he saw the opportunity, Yang Si was unwilling to let go, revealing the nature of a gangster.

Although Yang Si was a gangster, he knew that he had not said it well. It was because of those few words that Tan Mingxiao quickly spoke up and signaled them to leave the restaurant and wait for the notice. He originally thought that he could toast Liu Di to a deep impression, but he did not do it, but Yang Si didn't know where he was wrong.

"Yang Si, I said, don't speak easily in front of Governor Liu, this involves your future."

"Military advisor, I know that I didn't say it well, but it's strange. These officials are not wrong. If I work hard, they will get benefits. What's wrong with it? If someone else wouldn't say that."

Hou Er didn't want to explain. He vaguely felt that after leaving the mountain village, Yang Si became a complete burden. If he continued to stay by his side, it might be a bad thing at the critical moment. Besides, Tan Mingxiao also revealed yesterday that he was preparing to recommend him to the court and serve as a judicial assistant for the credit for capturing the bandit leader. Although he was an insignificant official, he finally had the status of an official. However, Tan Mingxiao did not say how to arrange Yang Si, and he probably looked down on Yang Si.

Of course, Tan Mingxiao also has the conditions, that is, all the people he brought must be included in the constable team and directly belong to the county magistrate leader, and has nothing to do with him from now on.

In fact, these people are directly controlled by Tan Mingxiao.

However, there is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky in the world, and such exchange conditions must exist.

It seems that the next step is to find a way to get rid of Yang Si and not let him do something bad.

Thinking of this, Hou Er barely squeezed out a smile.

"Forget it, the matter has passed, and it doesn't matter much."

An hour later, Hou Er came to the county government, and this time he came alone.

Liu Di was waiting in the wing room, but after seeing Hou Er come in, he was not polite.

"Hou Er, you know the situation of the parody. There are still about a thousand bandits in the parody. I am planning to completely wipe out this bandit within one day and give the place a peace. I am planning to ask you to lead the way. I don't know what you need to say."

"I will definitely serve the people. The remaining bandits in the village are indeed a mob, but the terrain of the village is a bit complicated, so the army still needs to pay attention to the actions."

Hou Er had something in his words, and Liu Di looked at Hou Er, and of course he could understand the meaning.

Hou Er seized the opportunity and continued to speak.

"When I left the mountain village, I brought fifty brothers. These people were the bravest ones in the mountain village. Of course, I dare not compare them with the official army. The pastors were all nearby farmers and had never been trained. I believe that Liu Duwei led the army and would definitely be invincible and completely wiped out the mountain village."

"So that's the case, so please worry. If you say that you can completely destroy the parish, you will definitely recommend you. Then you and your fifty brothers will follow you to Xiangyang."
