"It's useless." Sun Bin was so amused and laughed: "The family master is not as wise as everyone says. He calls the wind and rain, sprinkles beans into soldiers. He is a god, not a human. In fact, a month ago, my family master and I knew about this group of robbers, and we also wanted to drive them away, but there are too many robbers, which is a pity."

"It's over, Mr. Guigu can't do anything, what should I do?"

"Or why don't we run away? We can't afford to pay the money and food, and we have killed their people. If the robbers come, how can we give up!"

"But our family is here. If we leave, where can we go?"

...

The townspeople were desperate, and everyone looked confused and panicked.

"Junior brother," Pang Juan came up with an idea, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Or why should we take the villagers to Guigu? With Qimen Dunjia and the mechanism to protect them, those robbers will definitely not be able to get in. The teacher is kind and should not blame us."

After hearing this, Sun Bin shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, this is just a temporary solution. Can you avoid the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month? Moreover, if Guigu is exposed, I am afraid that there will be countless troubles in the future, so don't think about being quiet for a moment."

"What should I do?" Pang Juan was so distressed that he wanted to pull his hair.

Sun Bin was silent. Suddenly, a crazy idea came into his mind. He looked at the fat robber with a panic look on his face and said coldly: "You go back and tell the thief that you want money and food. You can. Three days later, come and get it if you have the gut. Get out."

"Yes, yes." The strong fat thief was overjoyed when he heard that he could leave. He was afraid that Sun Bin would regret it, so he didn't care about his injuries all over his body. He quickly struggled to climb up a horse, and he ran away without even daring to look back.

"Junior brother, why did you let this guy go?" Pang Juan was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, such a bastard should be slaughtered with one sword.

"Haha..." Sun Bin smiled: "Senior brother, this kind of minion is irrelevant to the overall situation. Let him report a letter to the Tutuo."

Seeing that Sun Bin's face was relaxed, Pang Juan's heart moved and said excitedly: "Junior brother, do you have a way?"

Sun Bin did not answer, but waved his hand around: "Everyone calm down and listen to me."

The noisy sound gradually subsided, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Sun Bin in anticipation, hoping to hear good news.

Sun Bin looked solemn: "Where are the situation, the villagers should understand it. We have three choices now: one, surrender, two, escape. I think no one wants to choose these two paths because they are dead ends."

The townspeople were silent, and undoubtedly Sun Bin talked about them.

Submission means handing over a large amount of money and food obediently. If the remaining ones are not enough to cover their stomachs, everyone will starve to death sooner or later.

If you escape, you will leave your hometown and be humble and have no way to make a living, and I am afraid that not many people will survive.

"Xiao Sun," Han Bo couldn't help saying, "Didn't you say there are three choices? What is the other one?"

"That's resistance!" Sun Bin's eyes were bright and he paused word by word.

There was silence around, and then a sudden noise began:

"Resist? How is this possible?"

"Yes, there are four or five hundred thieves, and there are only more than one hundred strong men in our town. How can we beat others?"

"That's right, it's easy to say."

"This is simply a death sentence."

"Also, those robbers are all outlaws who kill without blinking, and most of us have only touched the hoe."

...

Undoubtedly, the opinions of the townspeople are one-sided, and they all think this is a fantasy.

Sun Bin was very calm and waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel, be quiet, be quiet, listen to me."

The noisy sound finally calmed down.

Sun Bin said calmly: "I know everyone has no confidence, but I want to tell you that everything is possible. Twenty years ago, Qin State raised 500,000 troops from the whole country to attack the land of Hexi in Wei State. Wu Qi, a famous general of Wei State, led 50,000 Wei Wu soldiers to fight, and defeated them in one battle!"

"One to ten, fellow villagers." Sun Bin said passionately: "But the Wei State still won easily. Why? The reason is very simple: Although the number of Wei Wushang soldiers is small, they are well-trained and well-equipped. Although the Qin army is numerous, they are poorly equipped and insufficiently trained. In the end, the elite troops with a small number easily defeated the large number of mobs. This is what military strategy says, "Soldiers are more valuable than elites, but not more."

The townspeople seemed to have some understanding and started whispering.

"Similarly, don't behold the robbers are numerous and the outlaws, but these people have no military discipline and loyalty at all. In fact, they are just a group of mobs. Wei Wushu won one to ten. We have more than one hundred strong men, and only more than four hundred robbers, just one to three. Why not be afraid of not winning?"

"Yes," Pang Juan, who was determined to be a general, suddenly became excited: "Friends, my junior brother is right. There is nothing scary about these robbers. As long as everyone dares to resist, they will definitely win."

"But even if those robbers are mobs, we are not Wei Wuzhang?"

"Yes, except for a few hunters in the town, most of them have only touched the hoe. Isn't that even a mob?"

...

Although Sun Bin was so vague, there was really no fool in the world, and the townspeople still had no confidence.

"Haha..." Sun Bin smiled: "I know that the villagers have not received training and do not know how to fight. But aren't there me and my senior brother? The two of us learn the art of war from our teachers. Although we are young and have not yet started the army, we are more than enough to deal with some robbers."

"Yes, Xiaopang, Xiaosun is a disciple of Mr. Guigu, and he must be very capable." Han Bo said excitedly.

"That's great. If we can defeat those robbers, we can survive."

...

The townspeople's confidence increased significantly.

"After letting go, the town is coming."

At this moment, the dense crowd suddenly separated and a white-haired, but energetic old man walked out.

"The old town." The people of the town saluted respectfully.

Sun Bin was stunned, and then realized that the white-haired old man in front of him was the de facto manager of Fenglin Town.

In ancient China, regimes often did not go to the countryside.

Those who manage the countryside for the government are those who have a great influence in the local area, such as gentry, landlord, clan leader, etc.

And this is the case with this old man.

"This little brother," the old man from Zhen walked to Sun Bin and said politely: "I am Fang Che, how can I ask what I call him?"

The elder is present, Sun Bin dares not be negligent and quickly politely said, "You are polite, young son Sun Bin Sun Boling."

"Okay, okay." Fang Che said seriously: "Boling, I heard your words just now. I'm sorry, I'm taking the liberty, I'm very confident about this matter."

Sun Bin was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Ninety percent!"

"But the time is only three days!" Fang Che said worriedly.

After all, Sun Bin was young, so he didn't dare to easily bet on the wealth and life of the entire town on a boy.
