Sun Ming and Yu Li watched from the city wall as the rebels besieged, burned, and annihilated.

Sun Ming could only sigh lightly, and muttered helplessly, "I only hate being born in troubled times, and I hope you will wait for the next life to be a peaceful person." ”

Yu Li didn't have any expression, he turned his head and asked, "Sun Dongjia, what are you going to do with Qian Ning and the others?" ”

Yu Li is self-aware, and he knows that he is not the material to be a commander, and he has been observing Sun Ming for the past few days to see if he is the master he wants to follow.

Sun Ming's face sank and said, "Qian Ning and others rebelled today, the evidence is conclusive, and they should all be beheaded." ”

"Clean up the battlefield and let my dad and others deal with it. Let's go, let's go to the county office. After that, Sun Ming took Yu Li and a few people into the carriage and rushed to the county office.

On the way to the county office, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the messengers were guarding the main roads with torches.

The county government was even brighter, and Sun Ming saw Zhou Tao all the way without hindrance, and told him about the situation on the battlefield, and Zhou Tao was overjoyed.

After explaining a few words to Sun Ming, Sun Ming took Yu Li to the compartment where Qian Ning was being held, at this time Qian Ning was stunned, sat down on the ground, looked up and saw Sun Ming and the others, and then lowered his head and continued to be silent.

This matter has been conclusively proven, and there is no need to even try it, and there is no need to wait for the autumn queen, tomorrow will be the death penalty of Qian Ning and others.

"Qian Ning, the rebels you colluded with were completely annihilated by our army, and the crimes you committed were enough to exterminate the three clans."

After listening to this, Qian Ning slowly spoke, "I deserve it, I just hope that County Lieutenant Sun can raise your noble hand and let my subordinates go." ”

Sun Ming snorted coldly and shouted sternly, "It's not your turn to intercede, they are all willing to help and abuse, and not killing is not enough to set the hearts of the army." ”

Qian Ning raised his head and looked at Sun Ming as if he had thought about it, and said, "I have hidden many boxes of money somewhere, there are thirty catties of gold, as long as you promise to let them go, I will tell you the place." ”

Hearing the thirty catties of gold, even Yu Li, the proud son's eyes couldn't help but widen, but Sun Ming was more calm.

I saw him slowly shake his head, "Money, I will have it." name, I will have it too. But when the human heart is lost, it is gone. ”

Yu Li looked at Sun Ming in astonishment, as if he was looking at a monster, and at this moment Yu Li was sincerely convinced by Sun Ming.

The next day, most of the rebels were burned alive, and then Han Zhong led the team straight to the rebel camp, harvesting a lot of weapons and a few carts of copper coins.

The atmosphere in the whole county is serious, and the officers in the city take turns to manage law and order on the streets, and the army goes to arrest and raid homes.

The old army outside the city was gathered in the new military camp in the west of the city, and the old army was panicked, rumors spread, and even said that Sun Ming was going to be purged today, and all the commanders and above were killed.

After Han Zhong and others investigated, now there are only about 1,000 people left in the old army, and hundreds of people have escaped, Sun Ming also heard the rumors, and many people were afraid of being sat down today, so they fled.

The troops were then lined up on the training ground, and several people came up from the high platform, and the eyes of the troops were attracted to the stage by several people.

A young man at the head wore a big crown of martial arts, a brown robe, a handsome face, and an extraordinary bearing.

This person is Sun Ming, Sun Ming doesn't like to wear crowns on weekdays, and he wears a curtain on weekdays, but on today's serious occasions, he must be orthodox.

"Yesterday, Qian Ning and other troops colluded with the rebels outside the city, vainly trying to sneak attack the military camp in the south of the city, and then break the city and slaughter the people." After Sun Ming finished speaking, he paused for a while.

Many heralds in the audience were constantly repeating Sun Ming's words to the rear, otherwise this team of 1,000 people, even if Sun Ming shouted through his throat, he would not be able to spread it to the back.

"This is a major crime of rebellion, but the crime is against Qian Ning and a few people, and it has nothing to do with the officers and soldiers, so you don't need to worry."

"For the meritorious officers this time, the headquarters will reward the meritorious deeds, and the officers and soldiers who are suspected of assisting should also be punished."

"But I think you are just obeying orders and acting impartially, and now we decide not to pursue them, and we should work together to defend Zhuo County in the future."

Sun Ming's trick of 'suppressing first and then promoting' played beautifully, and the remaining Qian Ning's subordinates in the old army were originally angry about the arrest of Qian Ning's bosses.

But when they heard that Sun Ming was going to settle old accounts with them, some of the ladies in the audience were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, but then Sun Ming changed his words and was not to blame for the past.

Everyone in the audience was glad that they had picked up their lives, and they no longer thought about avenging Qian Ning.

After that, people pulled up several leaders of Qian Ning and clicked them in front of everyone.

Then let the old army rebuild the military camp in the south of the city, in fact, Sun Ming thought about taking this opportunity to merge the old and new army, but was opposed by Yu Li.

In Yu Li's words, "The difficulty of rectifying a thousand people and a new thousand people is very different." The old army is already rotten to the roots, and its combat effectiveness is poor, so why should it go to the new army? ”

Although Yu Li is very proud, he has to admit that he has great insights in military affairs.

Other people's impression of Yu Li is more of a cold feeling, and that's because he always has a cold face.

But in fact, Yu Li is very polite to his own people, even if Li Meng is stupid or does something wrong, he will patiently explain.

The next day, Sun Ming held a celebration banquet in the new camp, and after three rounds of drinking, Sun Ming stood up and said, "The success of this thief depends on everyone present, Sun Ming respects you a glass." ”

Sun Ming, as the supreme commander of the headquarters, humbly said that the credit is yours, but the people below must not say the same.

The others raised their glasses one after another, also stood up, and began to greet Sun Ming with their mouths, Sun Ming did not refute, and raised his glass to drink.

In life, you must be happy when you are proud. Tonight, everyone laughed and enjoyed their victory.

The next day, Fangcheng, not far from Zhuo County, sent people to ask for help, and after Sun Ming received the order, he asked Zhang Fei and Han Zhong to take the new battalion to help.

And Sun Ming did not follow, and the rectification of the old army was inseparable from him.

In a few days, the people returned victorious, most of the prisoners were captured, and the new army officially fought their first battle.

Zhou Tao also reported these victories to the state and county, and within a few days, he received a letter from Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, which said that the Yellow Turban thieves had captured many places, and Guangyang County, where Liu Yan was located, could block the attack of the rebels.

At present, Shanggu County is also fighting fiercely with thieves, and Daijun is also in an emergency, and Liu Yan has no ability to support other counties.

He hoped that Zhou Tao's side could divide his troops and ask for help from the two places. Zhou Tao came to Sun Ming to discuss, and then handed Liu Yan's letter to Sun Ming.

After Sun Ming finished reading, Zhou Tao continued, "Junyi, after you won three battles in a row, there is no big problem here in Zhuojun, and the neighboring counties are begging for help, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Tao sighed, and then said, "If you can, my father really doesn't want you to go out with the troops, so I will stay in Zhuo County, and my position as the county commander will be yours sooner or later, but now the thieves are raging, and under the nest, there are eggs?" ”

After reading the letter, Sun Ming handed the letter back to Zhou Tao, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "The child is willing to save him, and making contributions is a matter of the man's heart, and the father-in-law does not have to worry about the child's safety." ”

"Just take the new army west of the city to go, and now the new army is full of morale and high morale."

"It's just that you can't reinforce the two counties at the same time, you can only prioritize them, the thieves on the side of Daijun are more serious, and the child decided to rescue Daijun first."

Of course Zhou Tao has no opinion, now he is more precious than Sun Wuji, the real father, Sun Ming, the righteous son, although he knows that he can't hinder Sun Ming from climbing to a higher position, but it is too dangerous.

"The child is gone, I don't know when I will be able to return it, I can no longer serve my father-in-law, please forgive the child for being unfilial."

Zhou Tao lifted Sun Ming up movingly, and muttered, "Good, good, good, tonight, my father will set a table of celebration wine for you at home in advance, and you will rest when you get drunk." ”
