On the second day after the court documents arrived at Yongxingjun Road, the entire Pacification and Transportation Office immediately began to operate.

A special countermeasures group for Yongxingjun Road was established with Xue Xiang as the leader and Wang Shao as the assistant.

The first order was to launch an operation to eliminate banditry along the entire route.

This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, so the government, the people, and the military all support it.

The initial development of this matter went very smoothly until the government troops encountered some tough guys in the mountainous area near the border, a large group of bandits that was difficult to eliminate.

There seem to be complicated interpersonal relationships and backgrounds behind them.

"Snapped--!"

"What can I say? I'm so powerless against these bandits, do you really want me to lead the charge myself?!"

Xue Xiang threw the intelligence about the front-line suppression of bandits on the head of the leading general, and immediately the entire barracks was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Sir, those bandits are of unknown origin. Not only do they have a lot of standard weapons, but their methods of operation are also different from those of ordinary bandits. Add to that the terrain in the mountains, and we're in a very difficult position!"

The leading general gritted his teeth and explained the results of the investigation.

"It's difficult? Just because it's difficult, you won't do it?!" Wang Shao sneered.

"As officers, don't you have your own thoughts?"

"Since you can sense the other party's unusual behavior, won't you change your strategy?"

Wang Shao's words made these generals blush. After all, from the perspective of identity, they were military personnel, while Wang Shao was a civil servant.

However, the other party seemed to have a higher level of military strategy than ordinary civil servants.

"Sir Wang, we are really at our wit's end. Since you have a different opinion, why not give us some pointers?"

A general with a sullen face was somewhat annoyed at these civilian officials' meddling in combat command and retorted.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's expressions changed, but some people remained calm and seemed not to care.

In the Song Dynasty, it was an old tradition to control the military with civil officials, and it had reached the point where military officials had no status at all.

But in some places, or in the Western Army, the situation is slightly different.

Many of those who have been guarding the border in the Western Army for many years are proud of themselves. They look down on civil officials who have no military experience and no ability.

The civil officials who can gain a foothold in the Western Army are all people who can speak well about military affairs.

Not to mention the distant past, even during the reign of Emperor Renzong, there were many leading civil officials, including the retired Grand Tutor Pang, the late Fan Wencheng, and the prime minister Han Zhang.

They all left their own mark on the Western Army and a certain level of prestige.

Xue Xiang originally proposed to cut down the wing army in order to gain some military achievements, but at present, this achievement will probably have to be divided into many parts.

Hearing the words of the dark-faced general, Wang Shao chuckled, exchanged a glance with Xue Xiang, stood up, walked to the map, and began to examine it carefully.

"Master Han once said that when in doubt, quantum mechanics is the way to go."

"Although Mr. Wang didn't understand the meaning, he roughly figured it out."

Wang Shao's tone was calm, and his relaxed manner while talking freely moved many people, who listened attentively to what this adult had to say next.

"I thought that Lord Han's intention was to use the word 'force'. What does that mean?"

Wang Shao chuckled and told everything he had realized.

"The word '力' implies 'one force can defeat ten skills', and in ancient times it symbolized strength and power."

"So, Wang believes that Lord Han wants to teach us that when we are undecided, the best strategy is to use 'force' to convince others."

"As for the term quantum, in my humble opinion, it is a way of measuring force."

"As for size and number? We need to adapt to the time and place. If the enemy is strong, we will use a stronger force to overwhelm them."

Wow! When Wang Shao said this, everyone’s pupils dilated and they looked at him in amazement.

Because if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with what he said!

As to whether this was what was meant, a certain Han, who was recuperating in Jingzhao Prefecture, said he was not to blame.

As for why he said this at the time, it was simply a slip of the tongue. Who knew that Wang Shao, this idiot, would remember it so clearly.

In the bandit suppression camp, although Wang Shao's words made sense, they failed to intimidate these arrogant soldiers and generals.

"Lord Wang's quoting of Han Anfu's words makes sense, but I don't know how we should fight in detail."

It was still that black-faced general who was being sarcastic and finding fault.

Wang Shao chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "My meaning is very clear..."

"Please show me, sir."

The black-faced general asked with his neck stiff and fists clasped.

"Since you can't take down these bandits, then send more troops, pull out all the troops stationed along Yongxingjun Road, and seal off the mountain!"

Wang Shao's words made everyone's expression change drastically, and they looked at each other in disbelief.

Wang Shao seemed unsatisfied and added: "If none of you can do it, then let the border troops take action and give them some practice."

"boom--!"

The entire camp was in an uproar. Not only the generals, but even Xue Xiang, who had been mentally prepared, was shocked.

If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't they be able to embarrass the Western Army?

Now the Western Army has degenerated into being only able to suppress bandits? If I were to say that, it would be utterly shameful!

The generals below were even more surprised. Wang Shao's words not only offended the border troops, but also offended their local troops.

And also pull out the entire Shaanxi garrison and border troops?

Aren’t you, Wang Shao, looking down on people?

Even if Han Ming were not here, if he heard what was said today, he would probably quote a classic from his previous life.

Use the star destroyer to kill mosquitoes!

The black-faced general exploded on the spot: "Lord Wang, are you looking down on us?"

Wang Shao looked innocent, spread his hands and said helplessly: "I have no intention of looking down on the general."

"Since you all mentioned that the situation is difficult, I would like to offer my humble opinion."

"If you generals find it inappropriate, just treat it as Wang's nonsense. I apologize."

Wang Shao's soft stabbing left everyone speechless. The black-faced general's face became even darker with anger, almost reflecting light.

"Master Xue, I, Li, am a humble man, but I am willing to lead my troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits. If I fail, please chop off my head."

The black-faced general was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He looked down on people, didn't he?

You need help from other local and border troops, right?

I, Li Wenkui, won’t fall for this. Today I must let you see what I’m capable of.

Li Wenkui's words instantly stirred up the atmosphere in the tent.

"Master Xue, I am also willing to lead the army into the mountains to eliminate the banditry."

"Master Xue, Yang requests your order to attack the mountain again!"

"Master Xue!"

"Master Xue..."

"Master Xue..."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp was very excited and the morale was so high that even Xue Xiang was shocked.

I couldn't help but nod secretly to Wang Shao and gave him a thumbs up in my heart.

As expected of someone who came from Lord Han's side, this method of boosting morale is truly fluent and irrelevant.

I thought Wang Shao was going to humiliate this group of people, but now it seems that I was shallow and ignorant.

This Lord Wang is also a master of provocation!

Xue Xiang couldn't stop praising Wang Shao in his heart, but Wang Shao felt a pang of anxiety in his heart.

"Oh no! I've done something wrong. Isn't this a complete mess?"

"I don't mean to provoke you at all. I'm just thinking that you can't do it, so I'm gathering some people to bolster our momentum and attack the mountain a second time."

"Are you guys not playing by the rules?"

Wang Shao's confused state did not last long. Xue Xiang had already issued orders, and several armies moved at the same time to attack the mountain together.

This time, I don’t know if it was because of the inspiration from what Wang Shao meant by “force”.

Or was it the effect of "provocation" as Xue Xiang and others thought.

The army marched into the mountains together, and within seven days they had won victory after victory.

The mastermind behind the border bandits is having a hard time.

"When did these local troops have such fighting power? What bad luck!"

In a secluded place in the mountains, a man in black, wrapped up like a dumpling, cursed inwardly.

At the same time, he began to hate the person who ordered the bandit suppression operation.

"Years of planning, ruined in an instant!"

"What a Han Jingyuan! Compared to your grandfather, he's a tough guy!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, shouts of killing shook the sky from the other side, and the Song army had surrounded them.

"Sir, we can't stay here for long. Let's leave first and make plans later!"

The man dressed as a bandit beside him quickly bowed and said to the man in black.

"Hmph! Han Ming, we've finally become enemies..."

The man in black was filled with resentment. He flicked his sleeves and quickly left with a few people.

Han Ming, who was far away in Jingzhao Prefecture, sneezed violently several times and raised his head, which was occupied with eating, in a strange manner.

"Who is thinking about me again?"

"Madam? Brother Nuo? Or some wicked smoking thing?"

Han Ming rubbed his nose in confusion and continued eating.

And in his hand was a letter to be sent back to the capital.

On the other side, Yong Zeng was packing his luggage, mumbling something...
