The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 143: Difficulty in Suppressing Bandits
It took Li Shao and his team seven or eight days to get a general idea of the situation in Bo Tu Mountain and the bandits.
Botu Mountain is majestic and steep, with dense jungle on the mountain and many narrow and winding paths in the mountain, which can basically only accommodate one or two people.
At present, only one road that can be used by vehicles and horses has been found. At the main point of this road, a high wall has been built by the bandits.
There are also arrow slits on the wall, from which the bandits can shoot arrows at the attacking enemies.
During the investigation, it was also discovered that many traps were set in the mountains. Some of the traps were filled with sharp wooden stakes, and once you fell into them, your body would be pierced.
Some traps are hidden under fallen leaves, making them difficult to detect. Once you step on them, you will be hung up by ropes.
Moreover, this group of bandits should have set up a lookout to observe the situation below the mountain. Because they had not encountered any bandits on the mountain during the days of their investigation, they thought the other party was also observing them.
Li Shao and his companions couldn't help but sigh. No wonder they had failed every time they tried to suppress the bandits before. As long as the bandits had sufficient food and grass, the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain would be unable to do anything to them as long as they didn't come down the mountain.
Moreover, according to the surviving officials of the county government, they had tried to cut off the bandits’ supplies by encircling them and forcing them to go down the mountain during previous suppression efforts.
However, it seemed that the bandits had endless food reserves. They did not seem to be in a hurry even after being besieged for quite a while. Moreover, they were extremely cunning and familiar with the terrain of the mountain.
When they had been guarding at the foot of the mountain for many days and were a little tired, they launched a surprise attack under the cover of night.
In this case, Li Shao and his companions had no good way to deal with these bandits for the time being, and could only send troops to guard the road down the mountain.
Another part of the troops will be allocated to continue exploring whether there are other roads leading up the mountain, and to destroy the traps in the mountain.
In fact, according to Li Shao's idea, he could go up the mountain alone and kill them all directly, cleanly and efficiently, and then return home quickly.
But as soon as he brought it up, he was persuaded by the two people around him.
"Lord Li, you must not do that! How can you face so many bandits alone? You will just be going to die in vain." Gao Wu was a straightforward person.
Zeng Rui was much more tactful, "Sir, there are many bandits in that mountain, and they are ruthless. It is too dangerous for you to go alone."
"Besides, you are the commander of an army. You should take command and formulate a comprehensive strategy to suppress the bandits instead of putting yourself in danger."
"General Zeng is right. You are the commander-in-chief. Without you, we won't have to fight."
Then the two of them talked to each other, trying to dispel Li Shao's impulsive idea.
Unexpectedly, they reacted so strongly that Li Shao could only helplessly say, "That's what I said. Let's do it this way for now. Continue to investigate and see if we can find their weaknesses and then formulate a suitable strategy."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
"Master Li is right."
The two men were relieved, but Li Shao still planned to go up the mountain alone after dark tonight.
On Zhao Ye's side, his life went on as usual, but he couldn't help missing and worrying about Li Shao every day.
It has been half a month since he left home. Not only did Zhao Ye miss him, but the two children were also clamoring to find him.
Li Shao usually loves his two children very much and plays with them for a while after returning home every day.
Since the day after Li Shao left, the two children have been clamoring to find their father. At first, Zhao Ye could fool them, but as time passed and their father still didn't come back, the two children refused to give in.
"Dad, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
"I want my dad. I want him to play ball with me and ride a big horse with me."
"Dad, do you not want us anymore, Dad, Dad?"
"Wow, wow, wow...I want daddy."
……
The two children pestered Zhao Ye and cried for their father. Zhao Ye was already feeling upset. Although her husband said there was no danger before he left, Zhao Ye was not a fool.
Knowing that her husband said that to reassure himself, she couldn't let her husband worry about her while he was off to war, so she pretended to believe him. But how could she really not worry?
Now, the scene of two children crying for their father made me feel even more upset and I couldn't help crying.
But the moment the tears came out, he regretted it. How could he cry in front of the children? He hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
But the sharp-eyed Li Han still saw it, "Daddy, you are crying, does it mean that daddy really doesn't want us anymore and won't come back, wuwuwu..."
When Li Jin heard this, he sat down on the ground, opened his mouth and started crying, "Daddy doesn't want Jin Ge'er anymore, wuwuwu... I want daddy..."
The crying of the two also attracted the servants in the house. Zhao Ye didn't want anyone to see him like this, so he asked them all to leave, not even keeping Shen Qing.
Looking at the two children crying with their eyes and noses red, they looked pitiful, and they were still muttering "I want daddy, daddy, please don't leave me" or something like that.
Zhao Ye felt that the two children might have noticed his emotions these days, and he made them feel insecure.
She couldn't do this. When her husband was not at home, she had to take care of the two children and look after the home.
Then she wiped her tears, hugged the two children in her arms, and said gently but firmly: "Dear, don't cry. Your father has not abandoned us, and he will not not come home. He is just out on business. Don't you believe what your father said? I didn't lie to you."
Maybe it was because Zhao Ye’s thin embrace was so warm, or maybe it was because his words were so firm.
Maybe the two little darlings thought that their daddy had never lied to them, or maybe deep down in their hearts, it was impossible for their daddy to abandon them.
In short, the two little guys calmed down and stopped crying. They looked up and saw Zhao Ye’s red eyes, and belatedly wanted to wipe his tears with their little hands.
She was still muttering, "Daddy, don't cry. We won't cry anymore. Please don't cry."
"Yes, Daddy."
"Dad will come back and won't abandon us."
"But when will Dad come back? I miss him."
"Me too. He's been gone for several days." Li Jin muttered to himself while stretching out his little hand and counting for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Li Han looked at his brother with disdain, "It's sixteen days, idiot. Dad has been gone for sixteen days."
Zhao Ye was very surprised that such a young child could count to sixteen and knew that her husband had been gone for sixteen days. "Xiao Han, you can count to sixteen!"
"Humph, I can count to over thirty!"
The cocky look of him resembled her husband, and Zhao Ye couldn't help but kiss him and praised him for being so awesome.
Afraid that Brother Jin would feel that he was being treated differently, she kissed his cheek and said, "Our Brother Jin is also amazing."
After being kissed and praised by her father, Li Jin happily kissed Zhao Ye back.
Looking at his silly brother who was only concerned with being intimate with his father, Li Han asked again: "Dad, you haven't told me yet, when will Dad come back?"
Li Jin also looked at Zhao Ye.
This time, Zhao Ye did not say vaguely that it would be a few days, but said: "Dad doesn't know either. Your father has an official job to do, and the place he is going is very far away."
"Dad guesses that he won't be back for another sixteen days at the earliest, or maybe two or three sixteen days, but he will definitely come home as soon as he finishes his work."
"Ah? It's been so long! But I miss Daddy so much."
"Me too, Dad, can't you ask Dad to come back earlier?"
Zhao Ye hugged the two children tightly, "Daddy misses him too, and hopes he can come back soon, but your dad has important things to do, and can't just come back whenever he wants."
"You two should be good, eat well, and sleep well. This way, when your father comes back and sees you two plump and healthy, he will be happy. Don't worry, don't you agree?"
"Yes, Daddy, I will be obedient, eat well, sleep well, and stay with Daddy until he comes back."
"Me too, me too, I'm going to eat three bowls of walnut cheese later!"
"You idiot, you only want to eat sweets every day. If you eat too much walnut curd, your teeth will hurt."
"No way! My brother is the big idiot!"
……
Zhao Ye looked at the two little people in his arms chattering and bickering. The room was noisy but cheerful, and the gloom of the past few days in his heart was also swept away.
Thinking back on how I behaved a few days ago, I really shouldn't have done that. My low mood made the children uneasy as well. My husband is so capable, how could anything happen to him?
I have to trust him, take good care of the two children at home, and wait for him to come back.
