After eliminating corrupt officials, Xiao Yuan drafted a letter of appointment and sent a large number of scholars to various counties to take up posts.
He even received these scholars one by one and personally promoted and appointed them.
And this kind of appointment does not directly serve as county magistrate. Many people are temporarily responsible for the political affairs of a county, and then look at the political performance and the people's livelihood results of governing the county. If their political performance is not good and the people have many complaints, it is inevitable that the capable person will be appointed. , a mediocre person, if his political performance is good, he will officially become an official.
Beheading more than thirty corrupt officials and appointing scholars, it must be said that Xiao Yuan was bold enough.
But these scholars, even those with the least outstanding talents, are better than those corrupt officials.
Xiao Yuan's decision completely transformed Qinzhou from top to bottom.
It can also be said that the entire military and political power of Qinzhou is now in his hands.
Things have changed here in Qinzhou, but on the other side, the bandit suppression is still going on, but it is nearing its end.
After these days of annihilation, there are now only three areas of banditry in Qin.
At this time, Su Yizheng and Peng Shuang's troops gathered together to prepare for the final encirclement and suppression of these three banditry areas.
In the temporary military tent, the Shimen Mountain Thunder Leopard was asking to see Su Yi.
Don't look at Lei Bao's previous fight with He Gui, which was extremely fierce, but when facing Su Yi, he didn't have a trace of arrogance. He knelt down and didn't dare to express his anger.
Because Su Yi had already wiped out those who were more ferocious than him, only he and two other bandits were left.
At present, the army is about to launch a siege on Shimen Mountain. Lei Bao took the risk to ask for a meeting at this time, and also wanted to find a way out for himself.
Now, if the Qinzhou army is serious about attacking you, how can this little bandit resist?
Lei Bao knelt down, first took a sneak look at Su Yi's face, and then said cautiously: "General, I don't want to confront the government. If there is a fight, both sides will inevitably suffer losses."
"Both sides suffer?" Su Yi smiled and said unceremoniously: "Do you think that the current Qinzhou government is still the same as before! Lei Bao, do you think you are more vicious than Xue Ba and Han Tong? "
The two he mentioned were both extremely vicious people and leaders among the bandits, but they have all been destroyed now.
When Lei Bao heard this, he said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"You should also understand that as soon as my general's army arrives, your stronghold will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. By then, you and your minions will die without a burial place!"
Su Yi said: "Now, you have only one way to go, and that is to cooperate with us, otherwise, no one can save you!"
As a bandit leader, Lei Bao was really unwilling to cooperate with the government. He couldn't help but wonder: "But General, this..."
At this time, Peng Shuang on the side said appropriately: "General Su, there is no need to talk to him. It doesn't matter if he is with or without him. I will directly lead the troops to attack Shimen Mountain. Within half a day, the stronghold will be destroyed!"
Hearing this, before Su Yi could respond, Lei Bao was already a little panicked and quickly said to Peng Shuang: "General, calm down, I am willing, I am willing to cooperate..."
"Okay!" Su Yi straightened his face and said, "If you are willing to cooperate this time, after the banditry is calmed down, I will express your merits in front of the prefect, and maybe I will give you an official title." Half-time.”
"Is what the general said true?" Lei Bao's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Of course." Su Yi agreed simply.
When he heard this, Lei Bao was very excited and immediately began to say: "How to cooperate, the general just gives orders, the villain can do anything."
Being able to serve as a bandit and become an official is an irresistible temptation for Lei Bao.
A few days later, under Su Yi's instruction, he also sent a message to two other bandits, inviting the other two bandit leaders to gather for discussion in the name of uniting against the government.
Now, the army is getting clear about the banditry, and many bandits have been eliminated. The other two bandit leaders are not sure what to do now. After receiving the message, they didn't think much at all and immediately led their people there.
At this time, inside Leibao Village.
The three bandit leaders gathered together and sat down separately. Lei Bao was sitting on a big tiger-skin chair above. A person sitting on the left below took the lead and said: "Today, the army will completely wipe out us. Leader Lei wrote a letter saying that we should unite and work together." I have no objection to fighting against the government."
Upon hearing this, the bandit leader on the right immediately said: "That's right, there are only three of us left now. If we don't unite, we will be defeated one by one by the army like Han Tong and others."
Having said this, he looked at the Thunder Leopard above and asked aloud: "I just don't know if Leader Lei has made any specific arrangements."
Lei Bao chuckled lightly and said: "I think, even if the three of us unite, what will happen? Can we really fight against the regular army? Isn't it a dead end?"
"This..." After hearing this, the two bandit leaders couldn't help but look at each other, and one of them said: "Leader Lei, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, it's just that you two are here today, so you don't have to go back." Lei Bao said gloomily.
What! ? The two of them were shocked. Before they could react, Lei Bao shouted loudly again: "Here comes someone!"
This is his territory. Following his shout, a group of minions holding daggers rushed in and surrounded the two of them.
Seeing this scene, the two bandit leaders could not sit still. As they stood up suddenly, the man on the left also asked angrily: "Leibao! What do you want to do!"
"What are you doing?" Lei Bao sneered and said, "Now that the army is coming, who can resist it? Only by killing you and offering your heads can I and these brothers survive!"
"You!" The bandit leader was shocked. He pointed at Lei Bao from afar and said sternly: "You scum! You actually had an affair with the government!"
"Go! Kill them!" At this time, there was no need to talk nonsense anymore, Lei Bao waved his hand and gave the order.
But how could the two bandit leaders sit still and wait for death? They immediately smashed the tea cup and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Someone! Come quickly -"
Both of them had manpower, and soon, their men rushed in swarm, and the three parties started fighting here.
Miserable howls sounded, and people were chopped to the ground from time to time, but this was Shimen Mountain after all, and it was Leibao's lair. His men gathered more and more, and in the end, there was no doubt that they had killed the two bandit leaders. on the spot.
At this moment, Su Yi had already led his army to secretly surround this place. When Lei Bao was about to walk out of the village with two heads in his hands and asked Su Yi for credit, the latter raised his right hand slightly. Then he waved forward and shouted in a cold voice: "Shoot them all!"
Following his order, the soldiers in the front row loaded their bows and arrows, aimed at the approaching Lei Bao and the minions, and launched a volley of fire.
Plop, plop!
The sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard, random arrows struck, and dozens of minions were instantly shot to the ground, letting out shrill howls.
"Don't shoot the arrow! Don't shoot the arrow! General Su, I have completed the task according to your request——"
Thunder Leopard dodged the random arrows while shouting desperately.
However, no one paid attention to him at all. After the soldier shot one round of arrows, another round followed.
In this situation, there was no chance for Lei Bao to survive. Not long after, his body was covered with eagle feathers. He knelt on the ground with a thud, holding the two heads in his hands. He stared at Su with his eyes wide open. In the direction of Yi, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Su——Yi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others fell to the ground.
After shooting the men at the village gate, Su Yi ordered again: "Surge into the village, destroy the bandits' lairs, and leave no one alive! Kill them all!"
Lei Bao was originally the one who surrendered, but his orders were cold-blooded and ruthless.
