Chapter 66: Su Yi
He Gui was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he decided to stay where he was and make a show, so that he could make a perfunctory deal to Xiao Yuan.
You must know that he was ordered to suppress the bandits this time, and he brought a full 10,000 horses with his headquarters, and so far, he has not seen a single mountain bandit, but he has folded hundreds of brothers.
In this way, it is conceivable that the soldiers below can obey him, and his deputy general also shook his head secretly at him.
Three days later, he was back to the camp.
At this time, the camp of Qinzhou.
Xiao Yuan was directly above the handsome case, and on both sides below, there were generals at all levels, and He Gui was standing in the middle, preparing to report the situation to Xiao Yuan.
When he returned with his troops, Xiao Yuan also put down the bamboo slip in his hand with a smile, looked at him and said, "It's been three days since the bandits, presumably General He must have returned triumphantly?" ”
"This ......" He Gui swallowed, and then looked at Xiao Yuan cautiously, but he didn't dare to speak easily.
Xiao Yuan didn't care, but asked casually, "Let's talk about the battle damage." ”
"I ...... Our army lost more than 300 people and suffered 60 minor wounds. He Gui stammered.
"What about the other party?" Xiao Yuan frowned.
He Gui lost his voice and swallowed his saliva again.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan twisted his eyebrows.
Seeing this, He Gui hurriedly said: "My lord, those bandits are really hateful, not only openly confronting our army, but also setting up many ambushes on key roads, the last general, the last general really can't attack it......"
"This official is asking you, how many bandits have you suppressed!"
He didn't answer the question, and Xiao Yuan's face sank directly.
"This ...... This ......"
More than 300 soldiers died, but they didn't even touch the corners of the horse bandits' clothes, how dare He Gui answer.
"Don't tell this official, you haven't even seen the face of the bandits." Xiao Yuan stared at him coldly.
"Yes...... It's the last general who really can't attack it, my lord. He Gui is still the same rhetoric.
"How can it be!" When Xiao Yuan heard this, he was furious, and after slapping the handsome case fiercely, he immediately stood up, pointed at He Gui's nose and scolded:
"He Gui! You led 10,000 troops, surrounded and suppressed Shimen Mountain, and the mountain bandits killed your 10,000 troops! Hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded, but not a single thief was killed! What bullshit reason are you still looking for here! ”
"My lord, it's the last general who is incompetent...... "He Gui still wanted to defend.
But before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan had already scolded again: "You still know that you are incompetent!" What was the military order that this officer gave you at the beginning! How dare you escape!? ”
"Great, my lord, how dare the last general disobey the military order, it's just ......" He Gui also panicked.
"Someone!" But Xiao Yuan interrupted him again, and shouted angrily: "He Gui Pifu, against my military order, behead him to show the public, and spread the word to the three armies!" ”
"No!" Immediately, a guard responded with a loud voice, and immediately pulled He Gui up and dragged him out.
"My lord! Spare me, adults! I beg the Lord to give the last general another chance......"
He Gui was still shouting, but no one paid attention to it, thinking that he could prevaricate in a perfunctory manner, but he didn't expect that this new Taishou would be cut again.
The generals in the tent also lowered their heads slightly at this time, and subconsciously glanced at each other, no one pleaded for He Gui at all, because of this love, there was no way to ask for it.
After Xiao Yuan was appointed as the Taishou, every step he took was precisely deployed, and in the matter of collecting troops, he naturally made sufficient preparations in advance.
These three generals have been studied.
To behead Shen Ping and He Gui, you must find sufficient reasons, 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 it out and cuts him? It's no wonder if nothing happens!
His mind was spinning, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think.
But at this moment, Su Yi unexpectedly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I'll go to the bandits." ”
"What?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him with some surprise.
Su Yi said: "There are many bandits in Qindi, and the successive Taishou have not paid attention to it, so that the bandits are more and more rampant. ”
As he spoke, he also said directly: "And if you want to suppress the bandits, you have to suppress the biggest one!" in order to deter other bandits. ”
Guan He Gui is as timid as a mouse, and he is afraid to die if he kills Shimen Mountain, but this Su Yi wants to kill the biggest, Xiao Yuan heard this, and couldn't help but look at him again.
Su Yi continued: "If you can't calm down the bandits, the last general will come to see you!" ”
What the? This person has such a big breath, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he said with a straight face: "Okay, since that's the case, then ask General Su to get rid of the thief for me in Qinzhou!" ”
"Order!" Su Yi clenched his fists and responded with a loud voice.
After he left, Xiao Yuan also waved his hand casually: "You all should step down." ”
"The last will be retired." 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 arched his hand, and then said: "My lord, this Su Yi ......"
Knowing what he meant, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "There are 30,000 people in the Qinzhou army, isn't there a talent among them?" Since this person dares to set up a military order on his own, he must be sure enough in his heart, so let's take a look. ”
On the other side, after making the military order, Su Yi also returned to his military tent and began to gather his subordinates.
After standing in the main seat for a few cases, he looked at the map of Qinzhou, and asked without raising his head: "There are bandits everywhere, and the number of people in Black Dragon Village is the largest, right?" ”
"Yes General." His lieutenant replied: "The bandit leader here, named Xue Ba, has occupied the mountain for many years, in addition to robbing the past business travelers, he has also burned and killed the village many times, plundered the villagers, and is full of evil deeds, which is the most serious place for bandits in my Qin land." ”
As he spoke, he added, "But general, there is something unknown about the last general. ”
"What?" Su Yi glanced up at him.
The adjutant general said: "Lord Taishou wants to clear the bandits, this is nothing, and it is also what our army should do, but Shen Ping and He Gui have been beheaded, according to this, the general is ...... here."
At this point, he also paused, but the meaning was already obvious.
Su Yi first habitually clenched his fist with his hand, put it under his mouth and coughed, and then said: "The death of Shen Ping and the others is their own stupidity, which just shows that our new Taishou is not a mediocre talent, but to do things." ”
"But, even so, isn't it easier for the general to suppress the bandits, why not suppress Shimen Mountain?" The adjutant general asked again.
"The bandits in Shimen Mountain are just small thieves, and they are not worth our hard work, and in order to completely eliminate the bandits, we must first destroy the largest Black Dragon Village, so that the other bandits will be frightened." Su Yi explained.
Speaking of this, he didn't talk much about it, but changed his words and said: "The terrain near the Black Dragon Village, be sure to explore it clearly, draw a detailed map, and show it to me." ”
