Zong Ze looked at the map and said, "This area is full of mountains and dense forests. It would be difficult to encircle and suppress them. With only the limited number of troops you have in Yunzhou, it is definitely not possible."
"How about the commander-in-chief dispatch a large army into the mountains to encircle and suppress them?" Qin Wenzhi asked.
Zong Ze shook his head: "It would be more trouble than good to mobilize a large army to suppress a few gangs of bandits."
Deputy General Lu Wenguang said, "What if we can't issue an imperial decree of peace?"
Qin Wenzhi shook his head. "I'm afraid not. When General Yue was stationed here, Qin Wenzhi didn't dare to act rashly. General Yue did send people to persuade Wang Shan to surrender, but Wang Shan was very polite to the messenger and personally escorted him down the mountain. But he would never surrender."
Zong Ze said, "Hey!" "When Yue Fei was here, Wang Shan didn't dare to act rashly. But now that I'm here, he's ready to make a move."
Qin Wenzhi smiled and said, "It's not necessarily because Wang Shan looks down on Zong Marshal. These bandits usually make a living by committing crimes and robbing houses. They are afraid of Marshal Yue's reputation and dare not come down from the mountains to cause trouble, but they have to make a living. It just so happens that Zong Marshal has come, and these bandits have no choice but to take risks again."
Zong Ze patted the map and said, "There are many mountains here. Sending troops to encircle and suppress is not realistic. The only option is to try the Zhaoan campaign again."
Qin Wenzhi was a bit embarrassed: "These outlaws are used to their freedom, and some even hate the infighting in the officialdom. It will be difficult to get them to come down from the mountains."
"Then I will go up the mountain myself!" Zong Ze slammed the table.
Everyone was shocked. Lu Wenguang exclaimed, "Master, this is absolutely unacceptable. You are concerned about the safety of the clan army. How can you easily risk your life for a few bandits?"
Qin Wenzhi also said: "Yes, General. I am afraid that the bandits are not moral. It is too dangerous for you to go there. Otherwise, I will go."
Zong Ze shook his head. "Unless I go in person, I'm afraid you'll be sent back down the mountain. I've made up my mind. Qin Wenzhi, you'll accompany me tomorrow."
"I obey your orders!"
