Yan Guiyi put a pair of her shoes on the feet of the youngest child, so thin that she almost didn't weigh much, her immature face was full of curiosity, and she kept looking down at her new shoes and new clothes.

It doesn't fit well, but it's so warm and soft!

"No matter what, you all have to live, and after this spring, I promise that no one will come to rob you of your food and burn your house!"

Before leaving, Yan Guiyi said.

A few children nodded half-incomprehensibly, they may not understand, but they all felt that this child of a wealthy family was different from the people they had seen before.

"Your Majesty, it's not safe for them to be alone here, later, I will arrange for two domestic servants to send them to nearby villages and towns and settle them properly!"

Meng Xiang, who followed, said, Yan Gui is a little headed, they have food now, but only a few children, when the real snow comes in winter, there will not be half a person passing by, you can take care of them, after all, it is still not safe, it is a better choice to send it to nearby villages and towns.

"No!"

The eldest child refused.

"We can take care of ourselves, we won't starve if we have something to eat, we won't have robbers here if we rob here!" He said.

This place has been robbed, and the robbers will not come again, what a sad and helpless reason.

As long as the bandits are not eliminated, they will be the same in any village or town, and these children are more afraid of those who are cold-blooded than the bitter cold in the bitter winter.

In the end, Yan Guiyi did not force it and agreed to their own choice.

"Big brother, we must be able to wipe out those bandits, right?"

When he went back, Yan Guiyi looked up at Su Junbao and asked!

Su Junbao looked at him and smiled, this is probably the reason why he is helping this boy now, Su Junbao does not want to see more children like Fluttershy, last autumn, the little life lying on the mud crawling, with her pure childlike heart, awakened Su Junbao's silent life, let him feel the meaning of his life for the first time.

"Of course, what else are we doing here?" Su Junbao replied.

As he spoke, Su Junbao turned his head and looked at the figures of several children in the village snuggling up to each other from behind. Alesa was also watching, and at this moment, she seemed to return to her childhood, in the same cold winter, wearing thin clothes, doing all kinds of heavy work at a young age, living like an animal, and dying like an animal, until she met her master, and her fate changed.

It's just that not everyone has such good luck in this cold land.

Suddenly, Alesa saw a smile on her master's still somewhat immature face, and what he saw was not all the bad side, at least in this desperate environment, Su Junbao saw a few children who were not yet sensible in order to survive, knowing how to take care of each other and help each other, that is the most beautiful thing in human nature, even if it is dark, it can't hide its light.

And now, Su Junbao has to face the ugly side of human nature! He's going to slaughter all the scum who are doing evil in this land.

Coming to the foot of the Black Devil Cliff, Su Junbao looked at the black and oppressive buildings on the top of the cliff, and the people around him regarded it as a demon cave, which was not false at all, it was really a magic cloud floating in the air, which made people feel depressed!

The other party has been waiting for a long time! The twelve members of the Black Demon Village are all on the city wall, looking at the imperial court military flags fluttering in the distance, since ancient times, officials and bandits have not stood apart, they all know that this day will come sooner or later, but it is much faster than expected, a lot!

Su Junbao visually inspected this cottage built on the top of the cliff, it is really an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, not only the city wall is strong, if you want to attack from below, there is only a narrow mountain road that can be passed, as long as a large number of archers are arranged on both sides, then not to mention that Su Junbao only has 20,000 troops and volunteers around him, even if it is an army of 100,000, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture.

The people and horses who followed all gasped, no wonder the bandits of the Black Devil Cliff had been sitting like Mount Tai all these years, and the officials and soldiers had no way to eliminate them.

Looking at this cottage now, it is not unreasonable.

"I'm good!" Li Ya couldn't help but say while escorting the monarch beside him.

"Boss, what do you want to fight, it's too high, if you rely on climbing up, you will have to kill a lot of people!"

Qian Duoduo also mixed in the ranks of volunteers, squeezed through the crowd, and came to Su Junbao and asked, In the academy, he has always boasted that he is the younger brother of the national teacher, and those classmates don't believe it very much, but now it seems that they believe it a little, and ordinary people will not be allowed to squeeze around those high-ranking generals to speak.

It's just that Su Junbao didn't answer, he just looked at it from a distance, Yan Guiyi also frowned, he had never fought, and he could see how difficult things were.

"Your Majesty, that is the Black Demon Cliff, if they can't hold it, we are afraid that it will be difficult to break the enemy!" Meng Xiang, who was on the side, also looked at the top of the cliff, his brows were tightened, his father became a general, and he was sent to come with the army this time, of course, to make war merits and cultivate his son's prestige in the army.

"Look at the terrain, the cottage is built on the top of the cliff, if they can't hold on, we can take the four sides to surround it, cut off the mountain road, cut off the water and food. There will be a fight! ”

Some generals offered advice, but this plan was immediately rejected!

"This won't work!"

Xin Tianzheng, who also came with the army, said: "According to the information we have obtained, the grain and grass hoarded in the Black Demon Village are enough to eat for a year, and there is a natural spring on the mountain behind the cliff top, and we are not afraid of water cut-off at all, but we don't care now, but when the cold comes, we will not trap them to death, but freeze ourselves to death in the wilderness first, and we can't spend so long here!" ”

"The art of war is cloudy, the heart of the attack is the top, the siege is the bottom, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight, we come to suppress the bandits, just to give these bandits who cross the eastern border with the power of deterrence, if they can take the Black Devil Cliff in one fell swoop, then they will definitely flee from the wind, and dare not confront the official army, which is very beneficial to our encirclement and suppression operations, but if the battle is not fought for a long time, it will definitely lose its prestige, and it will be disdained by the bandits, and even unite against us, so this battle must be resolved quickly!"

Xin Tianzheng spoke eloquently and had some opinions, they were all newly promoted young generals in the army.

Everyone sighed, Xin Tianzheng said that this is indeed the truth! In the face of this natural Xiongguan fortress, they are also at a loss!

"They'll come out!" Su Junbao said confidently.

"How so?" The crowd will be puzzled!

"Because we only have 20,000 men!" Su Junbao smiled slightly!

If they really had 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered under the Black Demon Cliff, then the other party would definitely not come out to fight, but 20,000 horses and horses were their opponents.
