Chapter 140 Li Shao received the order to suppress the bandits
The next morning, Li Shao received the emperor's edict.
The one who announced the decree was the Minister of War Dong Yuan.
By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that banditry is rampant in Jiangmin County, Lingnan Province, and the people are suffering greatly from it.
Li Shao, the captain of the Shenwu Army and the Xuanwu Army, was loyal and brave, with extraordinary talents.
Today, I specially appoint you as the General of the Central Army to Suppress Bandits, and order you to lead two thousand elite soldiers to set out immediately to wipe out the bandits and protect the country and the people.
I hope you will live up to my expectations, march forward bravely, and quickly put down the rebellion.
After reading the imperial edict, Li Shao accepted it and expressed his gratitude, and then Dong Yuan called him into the room.
After sitting down, he said earnestly: "This banditry is very serious. Lingnan Province has a complex terrain with many mountains. The Botu Mountain where this group of bandits is entrenched is even more dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"According to the news from local officials, the gang has built many fortifications on Mount Botu, and there are hundreds of them, all of them are extremely vicious and cruel."
"Once you arrive at the place, don't attack blindly. First contact local officials and soldiers stationed nearby to understand the situation clearly, and then act after careful consideration."
"In addition to the imperial edict, I have also given you a letter from the emperor. With this, all local officials and troops must cooperate with you in suppressing the bandits. In short, you have a heavy burden to bear this time!"
As he spoke, he reached out and patted Li Shao on the shoulder. In his opinion, although Li Shao was born with superb strength and martial arts skills, he had never been baptized by the fire of war and had never really led troops in battle.
The bandits this time are different from ordinary bandits. They are extremely brutal, cunning and slippery. It is really not suitable for a newcomer like him to go there.
But since that old bastard Zheng Kaicheng had said so much, and there was a group of people encouraging him on the side, the emperor actually agreed, and he could no longer say anything contrary to the emperor's opinion.
Dong Yuan admired and liked Li Shao very much, so he told him so much and hoped that he could return triumphantly.
Due to the repeated failures in suppressing bandits, the emperor's anger and expectations on this matter have reached a peak. Li Shao is now sent as the chief general to suppress the bandits. If he succeeds, he will be promoted and get rich, and everyone will be happy.
If he fails, he will never be able to make a comeback in the future. Of course, this is based on the assumption that he can come back alive. The worst result is that he will die at the hands of the bandits.
Dong Yuan's words came from the bottom of his heart. He truly cared about Li Shao and was worried about him. However, Li Shao, who was listening, did not feel scared or worried about what would happen if the suppression of the bandits failed.
Now all he could think about was why such an important task fell on a newcomer like him.
While drinking, I often heard my colleagues say that some of them have been in the Xuanwu Army for many years and have been doing patrol and guard work. They all hope to have a chance to show their talents.
Why did he give this opportunity to make a name for himself?!
Moreover, Lingnan Province is not close to the capital. Now he will be separated from Ye Ge'er again. He really regrets taking this martial arts examination.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Dong Yuan thought that he had said something that scared him, so he changed his words and said, "Although your mission sounds dangerous, it is also an opportunity that others would not be able to obtain even if they begged for it!"
"Many soldiers have been just small-time officers their entire lives. If you can seize this opportunity and successfully eliminate the bandits, your future career will be a smooth one."
"You are now a sixth-rank lieutenant. If you return victorious from this bandit suppression campaign, the title of 'Bandit Suppressing Lieutenant General' will not just be temporary. Sooner or later, you will become a true Lieutenant General."
"Moreover, a warrior should have lofty ambitions. Bandits are rampant now, so how can you soldiers not stand up? Only those who fight bravely are true heroes!"
Li Shao, who was sitting beside and listening to him, felt that he was even more talkative than the storyteller. He was worthy of being a third-rank official. When he spoke and advised people, he had a lot to say!
If the colleagues of Li Shao were sitting opposite him now, they would surely be eager to set off right away and rush to Botu Mountain to do a big fight.
Li Shao didn't intend to do anything out of the ordinary. The imperial edict had already been issued, so he couldn't refuse. "Master Dong, you are right. I will live up to your and the emperor's expectations and eradicate those bandits who are causing trouble for the people."
Seeing his resolute expression without a trace of cowardice on his face, Dong Yuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, okay, that's right, a real man should be like this!"
"The bandit suppression team will set out at 1:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow. The next two days will be used to prepare food and military supplies and to recruit soldiers. I know you have a wife and children at home, and I have already informed Lord Li. You don't have to be on duty these two days. Stay at home and spend more time with them."
"Thank you, Mr. Dong."
"Don't be so polite. I have said everything I need to say. I just hope you can return triumphantly."
"I will do my best to wipe out the evil bandits."
……
When the soldiers learned that he had been appointed by the Emperor as the chief commander to suppress the bandits, most of them were very happy for him. He had just joined the army and had been given such an important task, so they all clamored to give him a farewell party.
Li Shao thought that he couldn't let everyone down, so he didn't ask them to give him a farewell party, so he treated everyone to a meal.
When he was off duty in the evening, he asked Ah Cheng, who came to pick him up, to go home and tell Zhao Ye that he was going to have dinner and drinks with his colleagues and would not be going back for dinner that night. He also estimated that they would drink until very late tonight, so he also asked him to ask Zhao Ye not to wait for him and to go to bed early.
In the evening, everyone ate and drank in the restaurant, talked about the future, and cheered for Li Shao, saying that he would definitely win and return safely.
And maybe he will get a promotion when he comes back, so don't forget about them in the future.
Some said they envied Li Shao's good luck for having such a good opportunity to display his talents, while others heard that this bandit suppression campaign was very dangerous and expressed their concern for Li Shao.
However, the few people who expressed their concerns were immediately diverted by others. After all, how many of these generals were afraid of death?
Most people want a chance to achieve something, no matter how dangerous it is.
The drinking and chatting party lasted until very late.
Li Shao returned home and washed up before carefully returning to the bedroom. He thought Zhao Ye must have fallen asleep so late, but when he entered the inner room he found the light was still on.
At this time, Zhao Ye was wearing pajamas, wrapped in a quilt and leaning against the head of the bed, nodding his head in sleepiness, still waiting for him.
Li Shao felt so distressed by this sight that he hurried forward.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Ye looked up and saw Li Shao coming back. He also came to his senses and said with a smile: "Husband, you are back."
After Li Shao got into bed, he held her in his arms and said distressedly: "It's so late, you are so sleepy! Why are you still waiting for me! Didn't I ask Ah Cheng to tell you not to wait for me and to go to bed early?"
Zhao Ye was held in his arms, smelling his scent, and felt extremely at ease. He rubbed against him like a kitten, humming, "I can only sleep soundly when you lie next to me. Besides, I didn't wait that long."
Seeing his appearance, Li Shao couldn't bring himself to mention that he was about to go and suppress the bandits. He thought that since it was already late and Ye Ge'er was so sleepy, he might as well talk about it tomorrow.
Then she coaxed him softly: "You little fool, it's okay, your husband is back, now go to sleep."
"Hmm..." In fact, when Li Shao held Zhao Ye in his arms, he was already drowsy and about to fall asleep, and now he fell asleep in seconds.
Seeing that Zhao Ye fell asleep, Li Shao was afraid that getting up would wake him up, so he directly used his mental power to extinguish the candle, then bent down to kiss his forehead, and fell asleep with him in his arms.
