Always speak good things about people in front of others and never speak ill of them behind others. This is the secret to a successful career as an official.

When the generals heard that Shen Kuo had removed Prime Minister Zhang one after another, they were in great admiration. After all, that big backer is there, who in the entire northwest doesn't know about it? There is no need for you, Shen Kuo, to mention it every day and show your loyalty in every meeting.

Even if you show loyalty, the way is still so superficial.

Shen Kuo asked the court for food and money, and Zhang Yue readily agreed and delegated authority to Shen Kuo for painting.

Shen Kuo said: "If our prediction is correct, the invasion of the Western Bandits is imminent, and all troops and horses need to have regulations and plans! Everyone will obey the order!"

"There are dangerous passes along the road, where thieves and horses can be controlled. Soldiers and generals from all walks of life need to be assigned to their respective positions, and the responsible committee will ambush and guard them one by one!"

"Soldiers, generals, envoys, and envoys were divided into dangerous places, each of them trying to intercept the thieves and horses so that they could not go deep enough to plunder people's houses!"

"As for the places where people and estates are prosperous, thieves and horses will never invade the place. Except for the soldiers and officers who are responsible for ambushes, if the thieves from the west are unexpectedly revealed and are coming, all the soldiers and horses are allowed to evade in advance.

.You can tell people to move property and other things to the thieves and horses for the time being. They can't go anywhere. They are dispatched without prior orders, causing people to be surprised and suspicious."

"If there are thieves and horses encroaching on the road, in addition to appointing soldiers and generals to guard and ambush at key and dangerous passes, the rest of the troops and horses should still be divided into leaders and stationed at key and convenient places. Be cautious and don't waste time.

Fight. If there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, you can send troops. The chief officer will judge the strength of the thieves and go forward to cover the attack separately or stand side by side. If you dare to wait and see, you will miss the opportunity and military law will be implemented!"

"When thieves come in large numbers, they must attack them in waves. When they return, they will immediately pursue them. Or they may lie in ambush in advance, waiting to intercept and attack. They will take advantage of the opportunity to react and respond to the incident temporarily!"

After listening to what Shen Kuo said, the generals basically followed the strategy of Taoshui and Lanzhou's victory in the three-pronged military strategy.

Lure the enemy deep into the city and lead the party's troops to attack the fortified city. Some of the troops will defend the city and the rest will be distributed outside.

If the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, we will fight. If the enemy is outnumbered, we will retreat. In short, no wasteful fighting is allowed.

Finally, when the enemy is unable to attack the city, all troops outside gather to ambush the enemy on their way back!
