Story:
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, a rebel leader named Yuan Bosheng instigated a rebellion at the border. Emperor Xiaowu of Wei decided to dispatch Pi Louzhao, the Grand Governor of the capital region, to quell the unrest.
Pi Louzhao requested 5,000 elite soldiers, but Duan Yong argued that the rebels were merely a disorganized rabble, and the most effective way to deal with them was with meteor-like and lightning-fast speed.
Duan Yong then led only 500 elite soldiers and, taking advantage of the rebels' complete lack of preparation, swiftly annihilated them in one decisive blow.
