Chapter 926: The Last Calm
On the towering cliff, the water flow hangs upside down, hanging on the entire cliff like a white horse. With a loud bang, the water flow hit the huge stones at the bottom of the cliff, splashing countless white jade beads of all sizes. Then it fell into the pool and caused layers of ripples.
The stones under the water flow may have been too shady, but after many years of impact on the water flow, there is only one shape left, that is, the ancient winter, and the light can be seen.
Not far from the waterfall, there is another large pool of water in about acres, which is completely different from the intense but completely different from the other side of the waterfall. The turbulent water flows through the winding streams and when it flows here, it turns into a gentle and quiet little girl, quietly soaking through the rocks, and then gathers into the large pool.
The world outside the mountain is like a furnace, scorching people to death, but here is cool and quiet, as if it is another world.
Liu Yan held his little daughter in his arms and sat not far from the pool to roast the sweet potatoes he had just harvested this year. The sweet potatoes were almost baked, and waves of fragrance came out. The little guy lay on Liu Yan's knees, staring at the sweet potatoes without blinking, and swallowing his saliva from time to time, trying his best to resist the temptation of the fragrance.
Although the Liu family is now in a downturn and becomes a bandit who has become the king, Liu Yan's education of his children still adheres to the style of the aristocratic family in the past.
If I had changed my daughter's family, although she was young, she already looked like a lady. If I changed my place, no one would have thought that this little girl would actually come from a robber's nest.
In this regard, the little girl's mother Yan Wu can't help at all.
At this moment, Yan Wu was standing in the cold water with his bare feet, holding a small tree pole with a sharpened front half of his head in his hand, leaning slightly forward, staring at the slightly rippling water waves, shaking his head and tail one by one.
Standing beside her was her and Liu An’s son.
With a chirping sound, the tree pole broke through the water surface and stabbed into the water. A bloodstain immediately floated on the water surface. Yan Wu lifted the branch and a fish was already penetrated in front of him.
"Did you see it? Have you mastered the key points?" Yan Wu stared at his son and said.
The little guy nodded.
"Okay, come and 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 by yourself. If you can't fork, you won't have to eat it!"
Liu Yanban opened the dead shell outside the sweet potato, revealing the steaming golden potato meat inside, put it on his mouth and blew it gently, and the girl's eyes also raised, staring wide, as if afraid that her father would eat up all the sweet delicacies in one breath.
After blew for a while, he handed it to the little girl's mouth. Liu Yan said dotingly: "Be careful, it's very hot!"
The little girl opened her mouth and, indeed, only bit the point on the tip, without even touching her lips, closed her mouth and chewed slowly.
Yan Wu walked over, sat next to them, looked at the little girl's eating look, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
"Cheng Liang is less than six years old. You expect him to get a fish today, but I'm afraid he will be hungry." Liu Yan said with a smile.
Yan Wu put the washed and peeled fish on the branches, put it on the fire and grilled it lightly: "I am looking for food by myself at his age."
Liu Yan nodded and said nothing more! Even a large family that had been luxurious for countless generations like him has always been extremely strict in educating boys.
Liu Yan still maintains such a family motto when raising his son in poverty and raising his daughter in poverty.
As a kid, he has to practice since childhood. Although he has never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, he is commonplace to study, practice martial arts, and do things that are not good at doing well, and to starve and eat boards.
The current scene reminded him of the time when his father urged him and his brother when he was a child.
His eyes couldn't help but get wet.
As time goes by, his relatives are gone. He doesn't even know where the graves of his father, brother and other relatives are, or whether they have graves.
"Today Fan Tong is back from outside." Looking at Liu Yan's appearance, Yan Wu knew that his husband had remembered the past again, so he changed the subject and said, "Deng Jingshan's army has already set off. Thirty thousand warriors and ten thousand servants can be regarded as a full out."
Liu Yan nodded. All the intelligence work on Weihu Mountain was originally under the charge of his wife Yan Wu. Fan Jian and Fan brothers were Yan Wu's two arms stretched out.
"The Tang army adopted the strategy of shrinking the defense line, and the main force retreated in the direction of Jianchang. In other areas, only hundreds of large and small docks were left to resist on the spot." Yan Wu continued.
Liu Yan was surprised: "In this case, I am afraid that the guards in these forts will have little chance of survival. In fact, there are thousands of people!"
Yan Wu said: "These forts are fully equipped and have been prepared for a long time. If the Liao army wants to take them down, they may not be able to bear the price they pay. Even if they cannot resist being captured, it is impossible to do so. Slow down the enemy's actions and facilitate our main force to prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy. These sacrifices are necessary."
Liu Yan looked at Yan Wu and said for a while: "Are we the Weihu Mountain those people who can be sacrificed?"
Yan Wuyi smiled and looked at the little girl in Liu Yan's arms and finally couldn't help biting a big bite of sweet potato, so that there was a lot of it on the corners of her mouth. She took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped it gently for her daughter.
"If necessary!"
Listening to Yan Wu's decisive answer, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel silent.
"But here, there are 3,000 combat soldiers, and it is 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 wait. After Zhang Zhongwu completed the autumn harvest, the army also set off towards Jianchang. After the rear is completely empty, it is the best time for us to take action."
"Even if it's sacrifice, I don't care." Liu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to kill Deng Jingshan, and Zhang Zhongwu is enough."
"Don't worry, this time, they can't escape." Yan Wu said: "Of course, the goal can definitely be achieved, but the process must be very tortuous. Erlang, don't worry, we won't fight alone."
"Although Xiao Jing and those people surrendered to us, they were not able to provide us with some help at the beginning so that we could break the opponent's blockade, but in the future, they would not have much effect." Liu Yan said: "The environment we are in is the core area of the Liao army. Even if Zhang Zhongwu's main force comes out together, the people who stay are not something we can deal with."
Yan Wu smiled slightly and said, "There will be reinforcements at that time. And it will be a powerful reinforcement."
Looking at his determined wife, Liu Yan did not 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 ask again.
"If there is really any problem at that time, I hope you can use your ways to send Cheng Liang and Cheng Hui to Wuyi." Liu Yan glanced at his son who was still swaying in the water and whispered. "Don't you have many brothers and sisters? They will never treat your children badly. 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 will definitely win. Well, let me reveal a little about it to you. It's not that I don't want to tell you more, but that in fact I don't know much."
The reason why Yan Wu decided to violate some disciplines was because he was worried that in the future, Liu Yan would be half-hearted because he was involved in the child and could not concentrate on fighting, which would be a bad thing.
"In Goryeo, Zhang Zhongwu's power will be completely destroyed soon." Yan Wu's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it. Of course, there was another thing that he didn't understand, and he was only concerned with dealing with the sweet sweet potatoes.
Liu Yan's eyes suddenly opened wide, 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 came out in full swing, it would have been a huge mental blow to the Liao army.
"Li Xiang, you really use your troops like a god! How did you do this?" he murmured.
"I don't know anything else, I only know that our inner guard has been operating in Goryeo for several years." Yan Wudao.
Liu Yan nodded repeatedly: "If this is the case, then our three thousand soldiers, no, no, no, if we add those people Xiao Jing contacted, we don't have nearly five,000 people, and we can become a surprise soldier on the battlefield."
"That's exactly!" Yan Wu said.
On the edge of the pool, Liu Chengliang's cheerful scream suddenly came: "Dad, mom, I caught it, I caught it."
When the two of them heard the sound, they looked up, but Liu Chengliang, who was wet, was holding the tree pole. In the pole, a fish of about three or four taels were struggling with all their might. The little guy held the fish he was holding and was running towards them. Every time he ran, countless water balls splashed out from his body, and under the reflection of the sunlight, they turned into colorful beads and fell down.
"It's worthy of being my son!" Liu Yan laughed out loud. "Come on, Daddy is personally baking it today."
As a father who has always been extremely strict with his son, Liu Yan's warmth today made Liu Chengliang feel a little uncomfortable, and his pace was slower.
There was still a calm in Weihu Mountain. Except for the soldiers who were training and preparing for battle, the others were busy preparing for the autumn harvest that was about to arrive.
Chapter completed!
