He Gui was greedy for life and feared death, so he decided to stay where he was and show off, so that he could deal with Xiao Yuan perfunctorily.

You know, this time he was ordered to suppress the bandits, and he brought with him a total of 10,000 troops. So far, not a single bandit has been seen, but he has killed hundreds of his brothers.

With such an act, one can imagine how the soldiers below could not obey him, and his lieutenants secretly shook their heads at him.

Three days later, he actually led his troops back to the camp.

At this time, Qinzhou camp.

Xiao Yuan was behind the commander's case directly above. On both sides below, there were generals of all levels standing. He Gui was standing in the middle, preparing to report the situation to Xiao Yuan.

When he returned with the troops, Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips in his hand with a smile, looked at him and said: "It has been three days since the bandits were suppressed. General He must have returned in triumph?"

"This..." He Gui swallowed, then looked at Xiao Yuan cautiously, but did not dare to speak easily.

Xiao Yuan didn't pay attention, but asked casually: "Tell me about the battle damage."

"I... our army lost more than 300 people and suffered 60 minor injuries." He Gui stammered.

"Where is the other party?" Xiao Yuan frowned.

He Gui lost his voice and swallowed hard again.

"Well?" Xiao Yuan frowned.

Seeing this, He Gui quickly said: "Sir, those bandits are really hateful. They not only openly confront our army, but also set up ambushes in various important roads. The general, the general cannot attack them...

…”

"I am asking you, how many bandits have been killed!"

He didn't answer the question, and Xiao Yuan's face immediately darkened.

"This this……"

More than three hundred soldiers were dead, but he didn't even touch the corner of the horse bandit's clothes. How could He Gui dare to answer?

"Don't tell me, you haven't even seen the face of the bandit." Xiao Yuan stared at him coldly.

"Yes...it's the general who really can't attack, sir." He Gui still said the same thing.

"That's unreasonable!" Xiao Yuan was furious when he heard this. After slapping Shuai An hard, he immediately stood up, pointed at He Gui's nose and cursed:

"He Gui! You led an army of 10,000 to encircle and suppress Shimen Mountain. The bandits actually killed your army of 10,000 and retreated! Hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded, but you failed to kill a single thief! What nonsense are you looking for here!"

"Sir, the general is incompetent..." He Gui still wanted to defend himself.

But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yuan scolded him again: "You still know that you are incompetent! What was the military order I gave you back then! How dare you run away from the battle!?"

"Sir, my lord, how dare you disobey military orders, but..." He Gui also panicked.

"Come here!" But Xiao Yuan interrupted him again and shouted angrily: "What a noble man! He disobeyed our military order and beheaded him in public to inform the three armies!"

"No!" A guard immediately responded with a trembling voice. He immediately picked up He Gui and dragged him out.

"My lord! My lord, please spare me! Please give me another chance..."

He Gui was still shouting, but no one paid any attention to him. He thought he could deal with it, but he didn't expect that the new governor would kill him as soon as he said it.

The generals in the tent also lowered their heads slightly at this time and glanced at each other subconsciously. No one interceded for He Gui at all, because this kind of love was impossible to ask for.

After Xiao Yuan became the prefect, every step he took was carefully planned. When it came to the power to withdraw troops, he naturally made sufficient preparations in advance.

There has been even more research on these three generals.

Sufficient reasons must be found for beheading Shen Ping and He Gui, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public and it is very likely to cause a mutiny.

Now among the three generals, only Su Yi is left. Of course Xiao Yuan wants to get rid of him, but he can't find any reason, so he just pulls him out and kills him? It would be strange if nothing happens!

His mind was spinning, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think.

But at this moment, Su Yi stood up unexpectedly, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I will go and suppress the bandits."

"What?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him in surprise.

Su Yi said: "There are many bandits in Qin, but successive governors have not paid attention to them, so that the bandits have become more and more rampant. My new lord, I will do my best to suppress the bandits and restore peace to Qin. I strongly agree with this matter."

As he spoke, he said directly: "If you want to suppress bandits, you have to suppress the biggest one! Only in this way can other bandits be deterred."

Seeing that He Gui was as timid as a mouse and was scared to death when he wiped out everyone in Shimen Mountain, Su Yi wanted to wipe out the biggest one instead. Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him again.

Su Yi continued: "If we can't put down the banditry, we will eventually come to see you!"

What? This person has such a loud tone, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he said seriously: "Okay, if that's the case, then please ask General Su to eliminate thieves in Qinzhou!"

"Yes!" Su Yi responded with a trembling voice, cupping his fists.

After he left, Xiao Yuan waved his hand casually: "You all should step aside too."

"I'm going to leave." Everyone clasped their fists and saluted, and left one after another.

At this time, only Xiao Yuan and Liu Yuzhi were left in the tent. The latter first bowed his hands and then said: "Sir, this Su Yi..."

Knowing what he meant, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said: "The Qinzhou army has 30,000 troops. Is there not one talented person among them? Since this person dares to issue a military order on his own, he must have enough confidence in his heart. Let's see.

Bar."

On the other side, after issuing the military order, Su Yi also returned to his military tent and began to summon his men to discuss the troops.

He stood behind the main table and looked at the map of Qinzhou and asked without raising his head: "There are bandits everywhere, but the number of people in Heilong Village is the largest, right?"

"Yes, General." His lieutenant general replied: "The bandit leader here is named Xue Ba. He has occupied the mountain for many years. In addition to robbing passing merchants, he also burned and killed villages many times and plundered villagers. He is full of evil deeds. This is our Qin land.

The place where banditry is most serious.”

As he spoke, he added: "But general, there is something unclear about the general."

"What's the matter?" Su Yi raised his head and glanced at him.

The lieutenant general said: "The governor wants to eliminate the banditry. This is nothing, and it is what our army should do. However, Shen Ping and He Gui have both been killed. From this point of view, the general here..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, but the meaning was already obvious.

Su Yi habitually made a fist with his hand, put it under his mouth and coughed, and then said: "The death of Shen and Ping was due to their own stupidity. This also just shows that our new governor is not mediocre, but

Gotta do something."

"But, even so, wouldn't it be easier for the general to suppress bandits instead of destroying Shimen Mountain?" the deputy general asked again.

"The bandits in Shimen Mountain are just small thieves. They are not worthy of our hard fight. In order to completely eliminate the banditry, we must first destroy the largest Black Dragon Village. Only then will other bandits be afraid." Su

Yi explained.
