In gratitude for Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan’s kindness, ng Wanfu ensured that the n he dispatched were exceptional.
These soldiers, alongside the current bailiffs, were organized into two groups to escort the rice seeds to their respective towns.
The strategy involved a combination of visible and covert presence, with professional scouts deployed to survey the route.
Facing undisciplined mountain bandits, their superiority was evident.
Moreover, Tiger Head Tribe, swayed by Shao Yunduan’s diplomatic approach, perceived the Lord of the Prefect as pedantic and incompetent, a belief that played to their advantage.
However, the bandits lay in ambush within a dense forest, attacking the convoy transporting rice seeds without provocation.
Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and others, following the principle of capturing leaders before subduing the bandits, launched stealthy attacks.
Their targets were the deduced leaders, and had it not been for Shao Yunduan’s directive to inflict serious injuries without causing deaths, many leaders would not have escaped unhard.
Shao Yunduan had a deliberate plan.
Amidst spring plowing, farming took precedence.
He aid to avoid escalating tensions by refraining from killing the mountain bandits during this crucial ti.
The death of any bandit could infuriate the others, potentially spiraling the situation out of control.
As he hadn’t yet fully consolidated control over the Anze Province governnt office and subdued the influential families, Shao Yunduan sought to avoid unnecessary trouble.
This ti, the leaders of the three mountain strongholds, mainly second-in-command and third-in-command figures, were all injured, with so sustaining serious wounds.
The skirmish unfolded swiftly, with arrows descending like rain and hidden weapons swarming like locusts.
Caught off guard, the mountain bandits scread and fell to the ground before they could react.

Realizing they had been exposed and had lost a significant portion of their combat strength, the mountain bandits understood that gaining anything more was practically impossible.
The attackers, masked and clad in green, concealed their faces and, in so cases, even their figures.
It beca apparent that these individuals were external reinforcents invited by the bookworm Lord Prefect.
It seed money truly had the power to accomplish anything!
Despite the Lord Prefect’s apparent pedantry and lack of knowledge, his affluent background allowed him to secure powerful assistance, leading to their defeat.
Fortunately, Shao Yunduan exhibited prudence.
Aware of the mountain kings’ formidable influence, he refrained from ordering any killings, opting to inflict injuries instead.
Returning to their stronghold in a sorry state, the mountain bandits felt extre sha.
Even now, the mountain bandits failed to take Shao Yunduan seriously.
They believed he still harbored fear, considering why he hadn’t seized the opportunity to kill them.
The Min Family Tribe pondered the situation.
Given the Prefect Lord’s apparent sensibility and newfound allies, they decided to spare him this ti.
With nurous wealthy families in Anze Province, starvation was not a concern.
They doubted the Prefect Lord possessed sufficient funds to retain these skilled helpers for an extended period.
Recognizing the expertise of these individuals, the mountain bandits speculated on the considerable expense involved.
