Chapter 74: Aftermath

The next day, morning.

After a whole night of busyness, Sun Bin and others completed the results of the battle.

In this battle, a total of 174 bandits were killed, forty-eight prisoners were captured, and another 41 injured were counted.

What Sun Bin did was to hurt nine people and not be killed in battle.

In terms of trophy, it is also rich.

A total of more than fifty houses, more than 420 acres of fertile land, furniture and farm tools were seized.

There were more than a thousand stones of food, and the livestock were eight oxen, fourteen sheep, and six pigs.

There are quite a few money, with more than 3,600 copper coins in total, and even more than 60 gold coins.

Of course, the most seized were weapons, and there were more than 200 pieces of armor, shields, and weapons that could still be used.

Such a result is brilliant.

The only drawback is that the bandit leader Thomas and some confidants escaped, which is a huge regret.

In addition, this battle also rescued more than 40 innocent people captured by robbers.

Among them, one blacksmith, two cooks, and the others were all young women, with a total of forty-one.

These forty-one young women were taken hostage by robbers last night.

Originally, there were 44 people in total, but unfortunately, three people died in the chaos.

Although Pang Juan’s method is clever, it is impossible to be seamless after all.

During the chaos, there are always people who react slowly, and some are pulled by robbers and unable to escape, which causes tragedy.

However, under that situation at that time, it was very rare to be able to save so many people.

Even in modern times, those well-trained anti-terrorism forces cannot guarantee the safety of hostages 100%.

A certain casualty rate is inevitable.

"Junior brother, what are you thinking?"

At this time, Bai Gui walked over. Although he had been busy all night, he was very energetic because of the great victory.

"Nothing." Sun Bin smiled: "I'm calculating the results of the battle."

"The battle results are prominent." Bai Gui laughed when he heard this: "But have you ever thought about how to deal with it?"

"I'm just annoyed." Sun Bin smiled bitterly: "There are too many houses, furniture, farm tools, money, food, livestock, weapons, and things, so how to deal with them is a problem. What should I do if the robbers' captives and wounded soldiers? Also, most of the women have no relatives, so how should they be placed?"

"Yes." Bai Gui scratched his head when he heard this, and thought for a while, "Let's do this, Fenglin Town has the most efforts in this fierce battle. They will take half of all the seized. How to allocate them within them will be arranged by Mr. Fang."

"Yes." Sun Bin thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"The remaining half was seized, in addition to the currency, and it was also handed over to Mr. Fang to provide pensions to other nearby villages and towns."

"It should be." Sun Bin also nodded and said, "There must be many villages and towns nearby that have suffered disaster."

"In addition, the Momen has worked hard to help this time, and I want to give them half of the remaining coins to express my gratitude."

"This should be given. But, Momen has always refused to pay for helping others. Are they willing to accept it?" Sun Bin was a little suspicious.

"Is this simple?" Bai Gui smiled and said, "If you don't say it to them, just ask the Momen to help the poor? Anyway, they accept it, we will have the intention."

Sun Bin was amused when he heard this: "Senior brother has an idea, so let's do it."

"There are 2.5% of the coins left, and I want to place those women." Bai Gui pondered: "If you have relatives, give some travel expenses and compensation to let them go to the family. If not, please ask Mr. Fang to arrange it and find someone to marry nearby. Every woman's family must have a home. Those who are willing to accept it will also give some money to dowry. What do you think?"

When Sun Bin heard this, he said happily: "This is a good idea, the senior brother is really thoughtful." Suddenly hesitated: "But, those women are trapped in the thief's cave and are ravaged. Who, who is willing to marry them?"

"Oh." Bai Gui sighed when he heard this: "Some are definitely some. Many people are poor in the mountains and cannot marry a wife. Many people are willing to give a wife for free and have a dowry. However, after marrying, they will suffer a little. This is also impossible. It would be nice to have a home."

"That's right." Sun Bin also smiled bitterly: "There is only all we can do. By the way, senior brother, how to deal with those prisoners and wounded soldiers?"

Kill them all, it's unbearable.

If you let it go, it is even more impossible. Isn’t it a disaster to raise a tiger and cause trouble for yourself?

"This is also simple." Bai Gui was a prime minister after all, and after thinking about it, he had an idea: "First identify it. If you are surrounded by a thief, you will give it some travel expenses. Those who have committed evil will be taken to the county and handed it over to the government, so that those officials can get the reward for the bandit suppression and get some bounty."

When Sun Bin heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said lightly: "It's still the senior brother who thinks carefully. Now, all the problems are solved." He moved his heart and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, you are still good at this kind of trivial matters. I think you can handle them with all your powers. Junior Brother, I'll be lazy and accompany Senior Brother Pang."

Bai Gui was amused and laughed: "You are lazy and slick, okay, who said I am your senior brother? Just take good care of Junior Brother Pang."

"Haha, it's better for Senior Brother. Then I'll go with Senior Brother Pang." Sun Bin was overjoyed, flattered, and then escaped.

"This guy." Bai Gui shook his head in a naive way.

However, he felt very relieved when he saw his brothers and brothers sharing life and death.

...

Three days later.

Morning, Fenglin Town entrance.

Next to a carriage, Bai Gui stood first, and Sun Bin stood behind him, holding Pang Juan with a thick bandage wrapped around his shoulders.

After three days of busyness, he finally handled the funeral, so it was natural that Sun Bin and the other two should go back.

As for the people from Momen, they left early yesterday morning.

The people of Fenglin Town were not ungrateful. I heard that Sun Bin and the other two were going back to the valley, and the whole town came out and came to see him off.

For a moment, the entrance of the town was so crowded and very lively.

"Xiaobai, Xiaosun, Xiaopang," Fang Che, the old town, shook their hands tightly one by one, and said gratefully: "This time Fenglin Town can escape the difficulties, and it has also suffered a lot of benefits. It depends entirely on you. Thank you very much."

"Old Fang is polite." Bai Gui smiled and said, "My teacher has always taught us that helping the poor is the duty of a gentleman."

"Yes, Mr. Fang, don't be polite." Sun Bin and Pang Juan also smiled.

"Mr. Guigu is such a strange person to be able to teach you outstanding disciples." Fang Che said with admiration and regret: "If I hadn't known that the teacher didn't like to disturb him, this time, I would come to my house to express my gratitude to the villagers no matter what, thank him."

Bai Gui smiled and said, "It's enough to have this intention. I will tell my teacher. Okay, don't bother me, I should say goodbye."

"Okay, okay," Fang Lao said hurriedly: "You know you don't want any thank you, but the villagers' wishes are all local specialties, and they must be collected." As he said that, he waved his hand behind him.

Immediately, the villagers rushed up, such as pheasants, live ducks, eggs, mushrooms, etc., stuffed them into a half-cart.
