And the ransomed Lin Xinggongzi was taught a hard lesson by his father and was locked up at home for half a year, but after the weather was clear, he felt that he could do it again, and he was thinking about how to take revenge on Sun Ming at home all day long.

Sun Ming didn't have time to deal with that person, his heart was on the whole world.

Sun Ming's current number of tenant farmers has exceeded 800, and every day his eyes are open and closed, and 800 people are waiting to eat.

The managers in the camp have expanded to more than ten people, and Huo Duo is still in charge, but Li Meng's temperament is not suitable for being a manager, so he stayed by Sun Ming's side as a guard.

Just when Sun Ming and the others were preparing for the harvest in the next few hours, a group of bandit gangs of hundreds of people came around Zhuo County, constantly harassing the families and industries around Zhuo County.

Sun Ming's battalion and tenant farmers were also harassed several times, and in desperation, Sun Ming had no choice but to distribute weapons and train the tenant farmers to form a militia in order to protect himself.

Guan Yu and the others also had their own exclusive weapons, Guan Yu used a long-handled knife, and Li Meng used a single knife.

But this is obviously not the way to go, and the death of every tenant farmer is a harm that Sun Ming cannot bear.

Every time the robbers came out of the mountains outside the city, and they retreated on the spot after finishing the matter, Sun Ming discussed with Huo Duo and others, and felt that they were ordinary bandits composed of peasants, with little combat effectiveness, but very obscene.

After Sun Ming and the others discussed, they decided to suppress this group of thieves, just taking this opportunity to enhance their prestige.

Sun Ming then came to the county government to find his father, and his father said that the county was helpless, and had sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but every time the group of robbers saw a large number of officers and soldiers hiding in the mountains, they could not be caught at all, and they might not be able to fight if there were fewer people.

Sun Ming then volunteered and found Zhou County's order to ask for his life, "Ming heard that there is a group of robbers near Zhuo County, attacking outside the city all day long, disturbing everyone in panic all day long, please ask for life tomorrow, only need 200 elite soldiers, and you can exterminate the thieves." ”

Zhou Tao has been worried about this matter for the past few days, and the court doesn't care, those cadres who have been in official positions for a long time have long been gone, and it is okay to ask them to manage economic security, but it is really not good to ask them to go out of the city to suppress thieves.

And Sun Ming helped him solve the big trouble of being homeless, and in the past six months, Sun Ming has often been in and out of the county office, and has discussed the current situation and major events with Zhou County Ling several times.

Zhou Xianling really likes this talented young man. Hearing Sun Ming's request, he took Sun Ming's hand and invited him to the backyard for tea.

"I am a colleague with your father, just call me Uncle Zhou, virtuous nephew, you have never led soldiers, that gang of robbers is not so easy to suppress, the county has sent several encirclement and suppression to no avail."

Sun Ming smiled and said, "Mingguan and that gang of thieves are like grass mustard, and Ming is already familiar with the laws of their activities, so they can take it down in one fell swoop as long as they wait for the rabbit." ”

"Although Ming is arrogant, he is not conceited, just give me two hundred elite soldiers, and it will be completed within four days." Sun Ming stood up and saluted and asked for his life again.

Seeing that Sun Ming was so ambitious, Zhou County Ling immediately decided, "Okay, the young man is ambitious, I will give you four hundred elite soldiers, and when you return smoothly, I will play Taishou to ask for credit for you." ”

Sun Ming's confidence in being able to suppress thieves is, of course, from the two fierce generals Guan Yu and Li Meng, it is not an exaggeration to say that both of them can almost double brush that group of robbers.

In the process of taking care of the displaced people, he also pays attention to the discovery and trend of talents around him.

In the past few months, Sun Ming has added his daily attribute points to the favorability of Guan Yu and others, and finally increased the favorability of the important people around him to more than 70.

Of course, because Sun Ming is also good to them, their favorability is slowly increasing, even if Sun Ming doesn't add it, if they get along like this, it is estimated that their favorability will break through the 80-point mark.

If something happens that displeases him, then the favorability of the relevant personnel towards Sun Ming will also fall, the most obvious is the group of landlords in Zhuo County.

At present, there is only one person who has a favorability of Sun Ming that exceeds 90 and does not drop, and his mother Li is the only one, except for Li, the stupid big man Li Meng has the highest favorability, with 85 points.

Sun Ming still has dozens of attribute points in his hand in case he needs it.

As the saying goes, "The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must start from the army." ”

Every day, Sun Ming uses the panel to look at other people's data to see if he can find some talents.

It's a pity that most people's data is 'ordinary', and it's good to be able to produce a 'one out of a hundred'.

It's too difficult to find a 'one in ten thousand' like Li Meng, let alone Guan Erye's 'rare'.

For the sake of insurance, Sun Ming also specially asked Liu Cheng and Zhang Fei to participate in this matter, and these days, Liu Cheng has funded Sun Ming a lot of support, especially money.

In the afternoon of the same day, everyone met in the camp, rode out to survey the terrain together, and stopped at a slope, Huo Duo pointed to a foothill, "Everyone, according to the previous situation, the gang of thieves attacked our camp, all of them rushed out of this foothill area, and returned the same way after the incident." ”

"That gang of thieves will come to our side every ten days or so to loot, all in the morning when farming, before the next and the owner have already negotiated, we will set up an ambush and wait for them to appear, and then outflank their back road, directly encircled and suppressed."

Sun Ming took over the topic, "I will transfer troops tomorrow, when Guan Yu you lead a team to ambush and ambush the forest on the left side of the foothills, and Brother Yide leads a team to ambush the right side of the foothills, just wait for a bunch of flags in my camp, and you will quickly cut off the back road of the robbers." ”

"In front of the foothills is an open cultivated land, and we can naturally wipe them all out if we wait for a three-way attack."

After everyone discussed, they returned to the camp together, Sun Ming still felt unsafe, and dug a trench two meters deep and several hundred meters wide in the direction of the camp in front of the foothills.

Those tenant farmers also gritted their teeth with hatred for the group of robbers, and without Sun Ming's mobilization, they voluntarily devoted themselves to digging a trench, and in just half a day, the trench was completed.

And all the tenant farmers were temporarily placed by Sun Ming to rest near the camp, these tenant farmers were the capital of Sun Ming's future hegemony, and Sun Ming didn't want them to fight at all.

The next day, they laid an ambush and waited all morning, but the robbers did not come.

As soon as the third day dawned, the bandits arrived as punctually as if they had received an invitation.

Sun Ming immediately ordered people to put up a banner, and the people in the camp did not show their heads for the time being, and the group of robbers ransacked the nearest houses and found them empty, and they did not notice anything wrong.

They were so bold that they thought that the tenant farmers were afraid that they had run out, and continued to rush in the direction of the camp with weapons in hand, and by this time Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had secretly outflanked their back roads.

When many of them fell into the trench dug in advance, Sun Ming shouted, "The thief has been tricked, kill him." ”

The officers and soldiers in the ambush in the camp, under the leadership of Li Meng, rushed out, and those male tenant farmers were affected by the atmosphere, and they also followed with the weapons they had been distributed before.

When the shouting was raging, the group of thieves heard the shouting and saw the officers and soldiers in front of them killing, originally they were a group of peasants who had no food to eat and went to be robbers, and when they saw this momentum, they immediately gave up their companions who fell into the ditch and scattered and fled.

In a panic, people instinctively turned around and ran in the original direction, and the gang of robbers ran a few steps before they ran head-on with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who were attacked.

With nowhere to escape, many gave up resistance, threw away their weapons, and squatted on the spot.

It is the 'hero Lu Ying in the present day, trying to suppress the thieves, and the prestige will be displayed at the beginning, and the young man will be famous in white. ”

In this battle, Sun Mingfang did not kill a single person, and wiped out hundreds of robbers, except for a few thieves who were trampled to death by their own people and died in the pit, the rest were all captured.

The news reached the county government, and Zhou County was overjoyed, reported to the county, raised filial piety, and recommended Sun Ming as an official and stayed in Zhuo County as the second county lieutenant.
