On the top of the towering cliff, the water flow hangs down, like a white horse draped on the entire cliff wall, and in the roar, the water crashes on the huge stones at the bottom of the cliff, splashing countless large and small white jade beads. Then it fell into the waterhole with a crackle, rippling layer upon layer.

The stones under the water flow were originally or were also the first to be relieved, but after many years of water impact, now there is only one shape left, that is, the round ancient winter, which can be seen by the light.

Not far from the waterfall, there is another large waterhole with an acre of radius, which is very fierce but completely different from the other side of the waterfall. The rushing water flowed through the winding ravine, and when it reached here, it became like a gentle and demure little girl, silently soaking over the rocks, and then gathering into a large pool.

The world outside the mountain is like a furnace, scorching people to death, but here, it is cool and elegant, and it seems to be another world.

Liu Yan held his little girl in his arms and sat not far from the waterhole roasting the sweet potatoes that had just been harvested this year. The sweet potato was almost baked, and the aroma was about to come out, and the little guy was lying on Liu Yan's knees, staring at the sweet potato with two big eyes without blinking, and swallowing saliva quietly from time to time, trying his best to resist the temptation of the aroma.

Although the Liu family is now downtrodden and has become a bandit who occupies the mountain as the king, Liu Yan still adheres to the style of the previous family for the education of his children.

If you change places, although this daughter's family is young, she already has some beautiful appearance, and in another place, no one would have thought that this little girl would actually come from the robber's den.

In this regard, the little girl's mother Yanwu can't help at all.

At this moment, Yan Wu was standing barefoot in the cold water, holding a small wine cup thick tree pole with a sharp front half in his hand, leaning forward slightly, staring at the fish shaking their heads and tails under the slightly rippling water waves.

Standing beside her is her and Liu An's son.

With a bang, the tree pole broke through the water and pierced into the water, and a trace of blood immediately surfaced, Yan Wu lifted the branch, and in front of him, a fish had been pierced on it.

"See? Got the hang of it? Yan Wu stared at his son and said.

The little one nodded.

"Okay, you can try it!" Yan Wu took off the fish and handed the tree pole to his son, "Remember, your lunch today is the fish you forked yourself, and if you can't fork it, you won't have to eat it!" ”

Liu Yanpetal opened the withered husk on the outside of the sweet potato, revealing the steaming golden flesh inside, put it to her mouth and blew gently, and the little girl's eyes were raised, staring wide, as if she was afraid that her father would eat up this sweet delicacy in one go.

After blowing for a while and handing it to the little girl's mouth, Liu Yan said dotingly: "Be careful, it's hot!" ”

The little girl opened her little mouth, and sure enough, she only bit the point on the tip of the point, and did not even touch her lips, so she closed her mouth and chewed slowly.

Yan Wu walked over, sat next to them, glanced at the little girl's eating appearance, opened her mouth to say something, but didn't say anything in the end.

"Cheng Liang is not yet six years old, you expect him to fork the fish today, but I'm afraid he is going to starve." Liu Yan said with a smile.

Yan Wu put the washed and peeled fish on the branches, put them on the fire and barbecued them, and said lightly: "At his age, I am already looking for food by myself. ”

Liu Yan nodded and didn't say anything more! Even a big family like him, who has been extravagant for countless generations, has always been extremely strict in educating boys.

Poor sons and rich daughters, now Liu Yan still maintains such a family motto.

Boy, you have to hone it from a young age. Since he was a child, although he didn't worry about food or clothing, he studied and practiced martial arts, and if he didn't do well, he starved and ate boards, which was also commonplace.

The current scene reminded him of the times when he was a child, when his father urged him and his brother.

His eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Time has passed, and his relatives are no longer there. He didn't even know where the graves of his father, his brother, and the rest of his relatives were, or if they had graves.

"Today, Fan Tong came back from outside." Looking at Liu Yan's appearance, Yan Wu knew that her husband remembered the past again, so he diverted the topic and said: "Deng Jingshan's army has been launched, 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 servant troops can be regarded as pouring out." ”

Liu Yan nodded, all the intelligence work on Weihu Mountain was originally in charge of his wife Yan Wu, Fan Jian, Fan Tong's brothers, were Yan Wu's two arms stretched out.

"The Tang army adopted the strategy of shrinking the defensive line, and the main force retreated in the direction of Jianchang, leaving only hundreds of large and small dock forts to resist on the spot in other areas." Yan Wu continued.

Liu Yan was taken aback: "In this case, I'm afraid that these guards in the dock fort will have little chance of survival." In the end, there are thousands of people! ”

Yan Wudao: "These dock forts are fully equipped, and they are all prepared, and the price that the Liao army wants to take down is very likely to be unbearable for them." Even if you can't resist being breached, it's something you can't do. These sacrifices are necessary to delay the enemy's movements and to prepare our main forces for a decisive battle with the enemy. ”

Liu Yan looked at Yan Wu and said after a while: "We, Weihu Mountain, are we also those people who can be sacrificed?" ”

Yan Wu smiled, seeing that the little girl in Liu Yan's arms finally couldn't help biting a big mouthful of sweet potatoes, so that there was a lot of stains on the corners of her mouth, so she took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped it gently for her daughter.

"If necessary!"

Listening to Yan Wu's categorical answer, Liu Yan couldn't help but fall silent.

"But we have 3,000 soldiers here, and it's not easy to swallow us. Moreover, we will not provoke the main force of the Liao army. Yan Wu continued: "What we have to do now is to wait. After waiting for Zhang Zhongwu to complete the autumn harvest, the army will also move in the direction of Jianchang, and after the rear is completely empty, it is the best time for us to start. ”

"Even if it's a sacrifice, I don't care." Liu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to be able to kill Deng Jingshan, and Zhang Zhongwu is enough." ”

"Don't worry, this time, they won't be able to run." Yan Wudao: "Of course, the goal can definitely be achieved, but the process must be very tortuous. Jiro, don't worry, we won't fight alone. ”

"Although Xiao Jing's people said that they took refuge in us, they could not play much role in the future, except for providing us with some help at the beginning and allowing us to break the blockade of our opponents." Liu Yan said: "And the environment we are in is where the core area of the Liao army is located. Even if Zhang Zhongwu's main force comes out, the people who stay behind are not something we can deal with. ”

Yan Wu smiled slightly and said, "When the time comes, there will be reinforcements." And a formidable reinforcement. ”

Looking at his determined wife, Liu Yan didn't ask again. He knew that the discipline of Tang Jun's secret spies was extremely strict, and if his wife was unwilling to tell him, he would not be able to ask again.

"If there is really any problem at that time, I hope you can use your way to send Cheng Liang and Cheng Hui to Wuyi." Liu Yan glanced at his son, who was still splashing in the water, and said in a low voice. "Don't you have a lot of siblings on that side? They will never treat your children harshly, and when they grow up and can enter Wuwei Academy, there will always be a future in the future. ”

"Erlang, don't worry!" Yan Wu shook his head: "This time, we are sure to win." Well, let me tell you a little bit about it, it's not that I don't want to tell you more, but in fact I don't know much. ”

The reason why Yan Wu decided to violate some discipline was also because he was a little worried that when he fought in the future, Liu Yan would be half-hearted because he was implicating the child and could not concentrate on fighting, which would be a bad thing.

"In Goryeo, Zhang Zhongwu's power will soon be completely finished." Yan Wu's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it, and of course, there was also a little girl Liu Chenghui who didn't understand anything and only cared about dealing with sweet sweet potatoes.

Liu Yan's eyes widened, and the excitement on his face could no longer be concealed.

I see!

If a powerful Tang army suddenly appeared in the direction of Goryeo, and suddenly appeared in Yingzhou when Zhang Zhongwu's main force poured out, it would be a huge blow to the Liao army in spirit.

"Li Xiang, you really use soldiers like a god! This, how is this done? He muttered.

"I don't know anything else, I just know that our internal guard has been operating in Goryeo for several years." Yan Wudao.

Liu Yan nodded again and again: "If this is the case, then our three thousand soldiers, no, no, no, if we add those people contacted by Xiao Jing, we don't have nearly five thousand people, and we can become a surprise soldier who can influence the situation on the battlefield." ”

"Exactly!" Yan Wudao.

On the edge of the waterhole, Liu Chengliang's cheerful shout suddenly came: "Daddy, mother, I caught it, I caught it." ”

The two of them looked up when they heard the sound, but it was Liu Chengliang, who was drenched, holding the tree pole, and in the head of the pole, a fish about three or four taels was struggling with all his might. The little one was running towards them with the fish he was caught, and with each step, countless balls of water burst out of his body, and in the reflection of the sun, they turned into colored beads and fell.

"Worthy of my son!" Liu Yan burst out laughing. "Come on, come on, Daddy will bake it in person today."

As a father who has always been extremely strict with his son, Liu Yan's kindness today made Liu Chengliang a little uncomfortable, and his steps were actually slower.

In Weihu Mountain, it is still calm, except for the soldiers who are training and preparing for battle, the other people are busy preparing for the upcoming autumn harvest.

But outside Weihu Mountain, on the border of Pingzhou, the brutal war has already begun.
