What Sun Tong needed to do now was to arrange for people to investigate the situation in the surrounding counties.
This time, he was mainly investigating the intelligence of East County and Shanyang County. Next, he was going to investigate the entire Yanzhou, especially the maps of various places. These things were too crucial for the army to fight.
This was not something that could be done in a short time, so Sun Tong gave these fifty scouts half a month's time.
No matter how much information they gathered, they had to return to Chen Liu to report the situation half a month later.
Seeing his subordinates scatter and leave, there were only six people left. Sun Tong did not have the mood to hunt, so he simply brought his men around.
At the same time, on the pipeline not far west of Sun Tong and the others.
A group of young men dressed like mountain bandits were clustered around a man in linen clothes, trying to curry favor with him from time to time.
"Sir, are you thirsty? I've already ordered my brothers to look for water. Do you think we should rest for a while before leaving?”
The linen-clothed man did not reply. He only smiled and shook his head, rejecting the bandit leader's good intentions.
"Cough ~~ Sir, look, Chen Liu is not far away. If you are really good friends with that valiant general Cao Cao, why don't you write a letter and ask him to send over the gold and silver to redeem you?”
"That's easy to say." After saying that, the man took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to the bandit leader. He continued,"You just need to take this book to see Cao Gong and explain the cause and effect. Naturally, you will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins.”
The man spoke in a serious tone, and the bandit leader did not dare to be negligent. That was a hundred gold coins. In this era, it was enough for the thirty over people under them to live without worry for a year.
However, just as the two of them were talking, six knights suddenly dashed out from the forest beside the road. These six people were Sun Tongtong and his party.
"Mountain bandits? Bandits?"
A few days ago, he had taken the initiative to look for the mountain bandits, but he couldn't find them. Now, these fellows had taken the initiative to come to him. Although Sun Tong's side only had six people, the other side had more than twenty people.
However, Sun Tong and the others were not afraid at all. Even if it was just Sun Tong alone, this group of people was definitely not his match. As for the five personal guards behind him, they were all handpicked from the 2,000 cavalry. Even if they could not compare to the Sima, their martial strength was still between 60 to 70. How could the bandits in front of them face them?
The bandits were also shocked when they saw the six knights.
However, when they realized that there were only six people on the other side, they picked up their weapons one after another. It was obvious that they planned to eat these six people.
Sun Tong didn't take the thieves seriously at all. He immediately bargained for the price of the linen clothed man beside the bandit leader.
It wasn't that he had a good eye for people, but through the system's observation, this person's intelligence and political attributes were over 80, especially with an intelligence of 91. In this era, he was definitely a top figure.
Because the system could not directly display the names of strangers, Sun Tong wanted to ask. However, he did not know what was going on with this group of people in front of him. He was afraid that something would go wrong if he asked.
"Brothers, it's time for us brothers to make a fortune. Charge!”
The leader of the bandits was a little stupid. Even if Sun Tong's group only had six people, the human world was still a cavalry. They were fully equipped with armor and had the support of a mount. Why did he think that his group of mobs would be a match for these six people?
"Attack!"
Since the bandits had already chosen to attack, Sun Tong naturally wouldn't hold back and immediately gave the order.
The six of them carried their weapons and rode their warhorses straight towards the enemy's formation. The moment the two sides clashed, nearly half of the people on the other side were killed.
The remaining ten or so bandits had never seen such a situation before. They immediately planned to escape, but Sun Tong would not let go of this opportunity. He immediately kicked his legs and rode on the Cloud Climbing to rush out again. He slashed left and right again, and this group of more than twenty bandits immediately received their lunch boxes.
"The five of you go and finish the job. I'll go and see that gentleman.”
The so-called " last hit " was naturally because they were afraid that some of the bandits had not died. At the same time, the five of them also shouldered the heavy responsibility of collecting the spoils of war.
"Yes."
"May I ask how I should address you, sir?"
"I am Xi Zhong, also known as Zhi Cai. I heard that the Duke of Cao had gathered troops in Chen Liu to attack Dong, so I especially helped him. However, I didn't expect that my master and servants would encounter this group of bandits on the way and be kidnapped by them. Fortunately, General saved us.”
"That's right, my master is Cao Fenwu. I am Sun Tong, a colonel under Cao Gong.”
"So it's Cao Gongyi's younger brother, General Sun Tong. I thank you for saving my life.”
Looking at Xi Zhong's polite appearance and seeing the name entry on Xi Zhong's attribute panel on the system, Sun Tong only wanted to laugh out loud.
Before this, Sun Tong had felt that Cao Cao had been working too hard recently and that the scholars he had recruited were too useless. He did not expect this top-notch strategist to appear.
