"Kill!"

The Xiang army crossed the cloud board and rushed towards the mountain stronghold. Xiong Da took the lead and carried a horse pole, stabbing to death several bandits who blocked their way.

The dozens of bandits responsible for blocking the enemy were left behind, and they were overwhelmed by the army in just a few breaths.

Not even a splash of water was made.

The leader, Wang Song, and his men had already passed the "First Line Gorge", then turned around and ordered, "The terrain here is narrow and the officers and soldiers cannot get in."

"We must stop them."

After being driven into their lair, these bandits also tried their best. A team of three blocked the canyon and started fighting with the Xiang army.

The Xiang army has a large number of people, but in this kind of terrain, it is impossible to exert its numerical advantage.

For a time, the attack was blocked.

Groups of bandits and soldiers fought hard, resulting in numerous casualties. After a while, corpses piled up to form a wall in the canyon.

Xiong Da watched anxiously from behind. He had an absolute advantage, but it was like this. He couldn't accept it.

"Xiong Er, fight and open a gap with me."

"Others, follow us."

Xiong Daxiong dismounted his horse and rushed over with his weapon in hand.

"kill!"

The two men's martial arts skills were much higher than those of these bandits. With one shot and one shot of mace, the two of them fought their way out.

When the bandits saw the two men acting like murderous gods, they were frightened and finally collapsed.

"Spare your life, I surrender."

Whoops, the bandits behind them dispersed and fled in all directions.

"Kill!"

Xiang troops poured in like spring water.

When Wang Song saw that the situation was over, he threw away the sword in his hand and said loudly: "I am willing to surrender, don't kill me."

There is still a trace of fantasy in his heart, that is, he hopes Song Ke can save him.

But at this moment, a dark light flashed before Wang Song's eyes, and a horse spear pierced his chest.

Wang Song's eyes widened.

How could this be possible? I had already chosen to surrender. Why did you still want to kill me?

But no one would give him an explanation, because Qin Guan didn't want to leave such trouble, so death would be the cleanest thing.

Erlong Mountain was captured, more than 300 thieves were killed, and more than 400 people were captured, including dozens of women who were captured by Erlong Mountain.

After Qin watched it, he said: "Take the woman back and teach Xu Tong how to deal with it. As for these bandits, ask them if they have committed murder or adultery. If they commit crimes, they will be killed without mercy. The rest will be sent to labor camps and will work for life."

.”

Just after Qin Guan finished his instructions, he suddenly received a system message in his mind.

"The host has eliminated 736 bandits. Could you please complete the task now?"

Qin Guan entered the system.

I found that there was an extra piece of system information on the system panel, followed by two options.

Finish.

continue.

After Qin watched it, he decisively chose to continue. The system once reminded that the more bandits eliminated, the higher the reward. It is definitely not cost-effective to receive the reward now.

After wiping out the bandits at Erlong Mountain, the Xiang army only reorganized themselves slightly and then began to clear out bandits from other mountains again.

"Surveyed 1,274 bandits. Do you want to accept the mission?"

"Surveyed 1,618 bandits. Do you want to accept the mission?"

"Surveyed 2061 bandits. Do you want to accept the mission?"

In the system, the number of bandits cleared has gradually increased, and legends about Qin Guan leading troops to annihilate the bandits in Xiongzhou are now being circulated throughout Xiongzhou.

The people in Xiongzhou City were discussing this a lot.

"Our Qin magistrate is really powerful. I heard that he led the Xiang army into the mountains and killed five to six thousand bandits in one month."

"Yes, we will no longer be afraid of bandits."

"If the prefect of Qin can ask for military skills and lead troops, he will definitely become the prime minister of the dynasty in the future."

"I heard that he offended Mr. Zeng Yuzeng, and I'm afraid he will be suppressed."

"Who doesn't know that Zeng Yu is an old thief who plunders people's money? It's natural for an upright man like Governor Qin to associate with him."

"Haha, Zeng Yu is very old, but Qin Zhifu is very young. I have to rely on him to death."

Just as the people in Xiongzhou City were discussing Qin Guan's suppression of bandits, a group of people in the palace hall of Jinling, the capital, were also having a heated discussion because of Qin Guan.

The Yan Bo spy case broke out, and then Hexi Prefecture felt that the matter was serious and escorted Yan Bo to Beijing as quickly as possible.

When they arrived in the capital, the case was handed over to the Privy Council.

The Privy Council sent the most capable force to interrogate Yan Bo. In the end, Yan Bo could not survive the punishment and confessed his situation and an intelligence network of Daxia Kingdom in Zhao Kingdom.

This matter was naturally reported to the emperor. After reading the file, the emperor looked gloomy and ordered: "Use all your power to find these spies."

In this matter, Qin Guan made the greatest contribution, and the emperor also read the memorial reported by Xu Tong.

Qin Guan was made things difficult for him when he arrived at the place, but he used his brains to solve the victims' incident as quickly as possible and stabilized the place.

Another 10,000 Xiang troops were recruited to strengthen border armaments.

Deal with official corruption with force and resoluteness.

The emperor also appreciated Qin Guan's actions.

But today in the court, when the emperor was about to commend Qin Guansheng and intend to promote him to an official rank, he was opposed by Zeng Yu.

"Your Majesty, Qin Guan just passed the Jinshi examination this year and has only been serving as a local official for two months. Moreover, he has been used as an exception and is now a fifth-grade prefect. This is already very rare in our Zhao Dynasty. It is not suitable for him to do so anymore.

Raise his rank."

The reasons are high-sounding, but Zeng Yu's starting point is not to let Qin Guan be promoted.

Now that he is in the fifth rank at a young age, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it back when the time comes.

At this time, Shen Zheng stood up and said: "Zeng Xiang's words are wrong. Those who make mistakes must be punished, and those who have merit must be rewarded. Now that Qin Guan has made great achievements, he should naturally be rewarded. Otherwise, if the court's laws are not upheld, who will work hard in the future?

.”

Zeng Yu's expression remained unchanged and he said, "I'm doing this for his own good. Qin Guan is still young and needs more training."

"Zeng Xiangguo's words are wrong. His achievements show Qin Guan's ability. If he is capable, he should shoulder greater responsibilities. Isn't it more appropriate to be promoted?" Shen Zheng said.

"After doing something, you can see that he is capable, but I don't think so." Zeng Yu said.

"Zeng Xiangguo is suspected of suppressing younger generations." Shen Zheng pointed out directly.

Zeng Yu's face began to look ugly.

"Ahem."

The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, coughed twice when he saw that the two of them were almost done.

After Zeng Yu and Shen Zheng heard this, they both tacitly shut up.

The emperor said slowly: "I haven't seen Qin Guan for a while, and I haven't heard his poems. Other people's poems always feel that they are missing some flavor."

"I really want to ask him to come back and stay with me, but he is just a talent at the border."

Zeng Yu was shocked,

Qin Guan must not be allowed to come back.

At this moment, the emperor said, "I think he should have the title of Fuwen Pavilion Minister."

The emperor said easily that Qin Guan had become a fourth-rank official.
Chapter completed!
