Lie Fan trained Zang Ba and the 99 Men he got from the Northern Army Camp exactly like his 50 guards which include word command for changing formation, He trained them for 2 months to make them at least adapted to his command and formation style. Under his leadership some of the newbies were progressing faster than most in which show their potential as soldiers.
Zang Ba showed great progress at his martial arts skill alongside riding and archery, which make Lie Fan even more sure of his guess that this Zang Ba is the Zang Ba he read from ROTK novel and games. Zang Ba have dueled againts Chao Bo and Chao Bai respectively, he can defeat them after 200 moves and can take a 2 on 1 with Zang Ba manage to hold his position for 100 moves.
Lie Fan trained himself as well for the past 2 months, raising his attributes slowly but surely while learning tactics and formation from the Book of Knowledge as well.
Lie Fan spend 10.000 taels to buy high quality armor and weapons for the 99 men while for Zang Ba he spend 25.000 taels, equipping his soldiers with the best quality is one of his priority especially to fight againts enemies that have more number than them.
Ying Yue always visit Lie Fan for the past 2 months bringing food and clean clothes for him, making the single dogs aka Lie Fan mens crying tears of envy seeing their Young Lord is visited and cared for by a young beauty.
After training for 2 months, Lie Fan decide to began exterminate bandits near Huai'An first after that the surrounding county while at the same time expanding his prestige to the surrounding area.
Lie Fan: "Everyone, todays the day we start exterminating bandits and hooligans in Huai'An and its surrounding area, Chao Bo you take 30 of the newbies and lead them patrolling Huai'An exterminating criminals in the city, Chao Bai and Zang Ba will be with me taking 120 men to exterminate bandit group around Huai'An. I want that in 1 month we manage to exterminate and destroy this bandit and criminal groups! Chao Bai Zang Ba meet me at the Camp gate after you two gather the men"
All Three: "Yes Young Lord!"
At Lie Fan order, Chao Bo takes 30 Men and began Patrolling Huai'An while Chao Bai and Zang Ba takes the 120 Men to meet Lie Fan.
Lie Fan lead 120 Men alongside Chao Bai and Zang Ba began looking for bandit groups, asking people and merchant caravan that they meet or passed by as bandits always like to plunder in an isolated area where goverment army can't saw them or in side road area.
While looking for the bandits Lie Fan and his Men encounter an Caravan that was attacked by a group of 25 bandits, Seeing that Lie Fan ordered his Men to help the caravan and leading the charge to attack the bandits.
Using his halberd Lie Fan slice some bandits with ease as they are without armor and his strength stronger than them, seeing Lie Fan leading the charge makes Chao Bai and Zang Ba alongside his soldiers blood boils following him decimating the bandits in matter of seconds.
The Fighting stopped after a short 10 minutes battle, Lie Fan get down from his horse and ask the leader of the caravan are they okay. The leader of the caravan named Gong Xiu thank Lie Fan profusedly for saving his caravan, giving him 10.000 taels but Lie Fan refused as he says this is his duty while he refused to be seen as an Honorable Lord to raise his prestige in the eyes of the people.
After Helping Gong Xiu, Lie Fan and His men encounter more bandits groups that either attacking some merchant caravan or villages around Huai'An while theres no casualties from his men there are injured soldiers especially the newbies which Lie Fan think is good enough considering they are still young blood tasting their first kills then kills more people without rest.
Lie Fan lead his men eradicating bandit groups for several weeks, camping outside with his men to take some rest then continue exterminating banfits while helping common people they encounter like helping fixing their carriage or wagons.
After eradicating some pretty big bandit groups, Lie Fan receive notification from his system aka Sun Tzu after god knows how long thw system laying dormant

Lie Fan continued his journey to exterminate bandits, he still got one more weeks before he will go back to Huai'An. While resting with his men, Lie Fan saw a Carriage that was shot by arrows almost looks like porcupine. Seeing that Lie Fan lead his men to help the people inside the carriage.
When they reached the carriage and open the curtain, they saw bodies of man and women shot by arrow and slash wound. Seeing this bloody things make Lie Fan sick in his stomach and think that this was not the work of ordinary bandits as they will never let their carnage "walk" from the area they pillage area in which was confirmed.
[Host Just Received a Quest!
Investigate the cause of the bloody scene you just saw and exterminate the one who caused it
Time Limit: No Time Limit
Failure of this Quest -3 renown]
Lie Fan: "Finally a Quest! but even without the quest we still have to investigate this as maybe this will become a prelude to something big, maybe the yellow turbans as according to the timeline there is 2 more years left before the big breakout but the bandits and oppurtunist people joined their cause to take money and spread chaos"
After receiving the Quest, Lie Fan ordered his men to bury the bodies and burn the carriage then follow the carriage trail.
After approximately 1 hour, Lie Fan and his men arrived at the location where the fight happens. There are several bodies in which Men wearing Yellow Scarf and Ordinariy people clothes, seeing the yellow scarf Lie Fan is sure that the Yellow Turban in Xu Province may have begun their rampage. Zhang Jiao the leader cannot control all of his subordinate especially the one who is not really believe in his cause as the number of the yellow turban is very big.
After burrying the bodies, Lie Fan send Chao Bai and Zang Ba with 5 men respectively to search the area to look for clues as where is the yellow turban group gone to or their hideout maybe nearby.
Lie Fan wait for 1 hour when Chao Bai arrived and said that he found where is the yellow turban hideout is 5 Km north of the fight scene but theres only watchguards and no other people, hearung that Lie Fan ordered his men to be prepared to march as this is a good chance to ambush the yellow turbans as he dont know the number the yellow turbans has while waiting for Zang Ba to arrive.
Zang Ba arrived 10 minutes after Chao Bai and Lie Fan march with his men to assault the hideout and take control of the hideout using it to ambush the remaining yellow turbans going out to plunder or looting.
After 1 hour of marching, Lie Fan saw the Yellow Turbans hideout hidden in the forest where they make some wooden fence as perimiter and watch tower made of wood.
Silently Lie Fan ordered his Men to began their assault to take control of the hideout.
