The reason why Li Zicheng stationed the old camp in this small cottage is because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on the other, and the soldiers call it an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Although they are a group of vulgar thieves, these people have fought more battles than the classic examples that military cadets have seen, and when they found such a feng shui treasure, they naturally regarded it as the first choice for placing the old camp as a reuse department.

However, Li Chixin's theory of guarding the danger and not guarding the throne has disrupted the thinking of these positions, although it is a little deviant, but from the philosophy of saving life first, no one is unwilling to live long. The stockade naturally has to be guarded, but it is still necessary to prepare a talisman behind him, for these men who have been licking blood at the head of the knife all year round, the last thing they are afraid of is trouble, pay physical strength and save their lives, of course they will choose the former.

With the defense at the dangerous point behind and the garrison at the valley training ground on the only passage in front of them, everyone felt that they could train and rest without fail.

Of course, Li Zicheng did not dare to underestimate his opponent, but the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie was a lingering shadow of the army, and he had been Li Zicheng's confidential secretary for several years, of course he knew that in the first few days after the vacation, it was the easiest period for the army to relax, and it was precisely because of the strategy of the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch that he was willing to be this bait to be this cicada.

It is precisely because of the layout of the military field of Li Chixin Valley School that Li Qiang and Liu Xiyao were punished today, that Li Zicheng enjoyed a preferential treatment that he should not die.

The sneak attack came when the people in the school military field were enjoying dinner.

The time dates back to not long after Li Zicheng left the school's military field, and the 300 trained generals on the school's military field also ended today's drill. Because the New Year has just passed, people's morale is still very high, and they are naturally unwilling to leave themselves in this beautiful time period; today they have been scolded, tired, and suffered, everyone is a rough man, and as soon as the matter passes, they will treat it as a fart and let it go.

In addition, today is still a day of sacrifice in the yellow calendar, so people are ready to shake off their cheeks and munch on a simple sacrifice.

No matter how poor the family is, often the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also to pour everything they have, eat a hearty meal, and on the day of the sacrifice, those sacrifices that the ancestors cannot digest are the food in the living mouth. At the end of the day's hard drill in the old camp, the generals sat on the school military field in twos and threes, some of them helped the firehead soldiers to bring over the prepared meals, and more people were arranged to wait in place according to the foot ranks.

Li Zicheng's personal general, Li Qiang, was reprimanded and punished to continue the drill on the school military ground with Liu Xiyao and others. When the drill was over, Liu Zongmin was about to return to his camp, and when he saw the two of them crowded in the crowd of the drill, he joked: "I think you two forget it, do you still have a stomach to eat after you have just eaten enough snow?"

This also caused the heroes on the military field of the school to laugh, and at this time the hot meal had been served, although there was no liquor, but there was meat that had not been seen in ordinary times, but it was also carried by several people, and the whole barrel was brought up, and at this moment, the wooden barrel containing the meat was still steaming with an attractive aroma.

The smell of meat penetrated into the nostrils, and immediately diluted the chill brought by the fine snow, and Liu Zongmin, because he had to worry about the military affairs of the whole battalion, did not stay at this sight, and he turned his horse's head and prepared to return to the camp.

At this time, the sun hanging on the horizon flickered on the beam of the west mountain, and they were ready to fall home incompetently, and a few white clouds on the horizon also dispersed, and they felt the happiness of getting off work, and immediately turned into a colorful sunset.

The sun, like the barracks sergeant after a tiring day's work, slipped silently down the hills to the west with a sleepy yawn and stretched. However, the sunset, who was anxious to return home, still exerted the last of its strength, and struggled to hover over the treetops of the village for a while, and the afterglow illuminated the small valley in front of the stockade crimson.

Wisps of cooking smoke drifted here from the small village not far away, and there was a faint smoke mixed with the smell of burnt paste everywhere in the river valley, and the generals and colonels of the old battalion who practiced here were different from these people who ate big pots of rice on the school military ground, they ended the day's drills, looked up at the vanishing sunset in the west, packed up the utensils and blades they carried, and prepared to return to their homes in the small village for dinner.

Walking on the country road sprinkled with the setting sun, although the generals were already hungry in their stomachs, their hearts were still sweet when they thought of the mother-in-law being busy preparing dinner for them. Armed with short knives and long spears, these people walked from the school military field to the old camp in the small village in twos and threes.

Funiu Mountain is located at the junction of Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan, although there is no wall to stand the majestic mountain range of towering into the clouds, but it is also heavy and mountainous, ravines and ravines, just like the relatively wide river valley in front of the old camp is not much.

The army chose to camp here, but also took a fancy to this small village surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water, although the mountains are not high and dense forests, on the one hand it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, on the other hand, there is a water source, and the only mountain road, along the winding river valley from the front of the village.

If in the later generations, such a lonely and blessed terrain would have been built countless rows of farmhouses, if you could discuss with the village chief when the river was rising, and put a few bamboo rafts in it for rafting, then you would be waiting to make a lot of money.

Li Chixin once stopped here in a daze, as if he saw groups of children with schoolbags on their backs, they jumped out of the school, mischievously stepping on the snow covered in the small river valley under the sunset, and walked to the smoky village and the streets and alleys full of willow flutes in the shouting and calling of adults.

The fine snow dyed the distant forest white, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, it was as beautiful as a layer of gold, even Liu Zongmin, who had a rough temperament, was riding on a horse at this time, and couldn't help but take a look at the forest on the opposite side of the river valley, just this glance, he was conquered by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

In the distant skyline, the remnants of the sun loomed in the cracks of the trees, adding a bit of peace to the silver-clad forest.

From a distance, the village at sunset looks like an impressionist gouache painting, silently returning to indifference and silence. In the woods far away from the valley, the returning birds that have been flying for a day should follow the trail of the setting sun, from the mountains to the woods, to their familiar homes, and perch on the dense jungle trees tiredly.
