The two sisters and brothers were talking, and they were all taken aback when they suddenly saw Jiang Xu running in and saying that something was wrong. Xue Dingshan stood up and hurriedly asked, "Jiang Xu, what's wrong?" Why are you so panicked? Jiang Xu panted and said, "Brother Xue, the food and salary we transferred from Hanjiang Pass have been robbed by the Turkic soldiers lurking in Langya Village. ”

"What?" When Xue Dingshan heard this, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

Recently, due to frequent rains and muddy roads, the food and salary of the 300,000-strong army is very tight. Finally, the food and salary transferred from Hanjiang Pass were about to arrive, and he never expected to be robbed by the Turks in the boundary of Baihu Pass, how could Xue Dingshan not be in a hurry. Barely steadied himself, he hurriedly asked, "When was you robbed?" Jiang Xu hurriedly said, "Last night." It was General Tie Peng, who was escorting grain and grass, who was wounded by an arrow, and quickly reported to the camp. ”

"Last night?" Xue Dingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's still too late." Jiang Xu, you hurry to the commander of the battalion to gather the generals, and I will arrive later. ”

"Yes." Jiang Xu hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.

Xue Dingshan called Xun Qing, a scholar close to him, and said, "Qing'er." ”

Xun Qing heard the call outside the door and hurried in, "Shizi." ”

Xue Dingshan commanded: "Go to Tatara quickly." ”

"Yes." Xun Qing agreed and hurried out.

Xue Dingshan hurriedly took off his plain clothes and changed into uniforms. Xue Yulian also hurriedly helped him put on his helmet and crown armor and robe.

While cleaning up, Xue Yulian instructed Xue Dingshan: "Yunfeng, calm down, don't be too anxious." Even if the soldiers were lucky enough to rob the grain, they couldn't go fast with the baggage vehicle, and the time was still in time. Be careful yourself. Xue Dingshan hung the sword on his waist and said, "I know." With that, he walked out. As soon as he arrived at the door, he stopped again, turned around and said, "Sister, don't tell the marshal in advance if the food and salary have been robbed, so as not to worry her." Xue Yulian was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I know." Go hard, I'm at home. Xue Dingshan turned around and hurried out of the study.

Outside the gate of the Shuaifu, Xun Qing had already prepared a war horse and waited at the bottom of the steps. Xue Dingshan hurried down the steps, grabbed the reins and flew onto the Tengyun Horse, and immediately raised the rattan whip. Tengyun Horse walked out of the White Tiger High Pass like an arrow from the string, and entered the garrison's camp, passing through the gate to outside the Chinese army's tent. Only then did Xue Dingshan restrain his horse, jumped off his horse, and walked quickly into the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the generals on duty were already fully clothed, quietly standing in the two compartments waiting for the general's order.

Xue Dingshan entered the big tent, and came all the way to Shuai after the case, and said: "Generals, the Turks took advantage of our unpreparedness to sneak into the boundary of Baihu Pass, set up an ambush in Langya Village, and robbed our army of the food and salary transferred from Hanjiang Pass. Food is the lifeblood of the army, and we must take it back from the Turks. Where's the guide? ”

When the guide officer under the tent heard the call, he hurriedly came out of the line to salute in front of the marshal's desk, and said, "See the marshal." Xue Dingshan asked, "How many roads are there from Langya Village to Turkic territory?" The guide hurriedly replied, "There are three roads that can be passed. The one on the right is Yangguan Avenue, the road is flat, but the distance is far away and bypassed by the Baihu Pass; The one on the left is a mountain path, which can only be walked by one person and one rider, and cannot be used by vehicles; The middle one passes through the ten-mile long gorge of Heishuiling, which is very close to the Turks and can be passed by vehicles. ”

"Oh." Xue Dingshan nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked, "How far is this road in the middle from the White Tiger Pass?" The guide officer hurriedly said: "It's about two hundred miles." Xue Dingshan said, "Okay, you can step aside." ”

"Yes." The guide officer bowed and stepped aside.

Xue Dingshan looked at the generals under his tent and said, "Generals, we must set up an ambush on these three roads to intercept the grain and grass. Although the middle road is easy to walk, it is a long way and bypasses the White Tiger Pass, so I don't expect the Turks to take this road. Not to mention the trail on the left, they can't take it. We had to set up an ambush on the right road, which also passed through the Blackwater Ridge, but it was a bit far for us, and we had to get there before the Turks arrived. Jiang Xu, Qin Ying listened to the order. ”

Jiang Xu and Qin Ying hurriedly came out of the ranks, bowed in front of the handsome case, and said, "The last general." ”

Xue Dingshan drew out an arrow and said, "The two of you each led a thousand men and horses, and five hundred crossbowmen, and set up an ambush on both sides of the ten-mile long gorge under the stars and nights. When the Turkic soldiers will arrive, listen to my arrows and take back the grain and grass from the two wings. Success or failure is a matter of two hours, and you must arrive within two hours and set up an ambush. If the military aircraft is delayed, it will be dealt with in accordance with military law. Two virtuous brothers, please. ”

"The last general will take the order. Please rest assured, we will arrive on time. Jiang Xu, Qin Ying took the order, turned around and hurried out of the big tent to prepare.

Xue Dingshan took out the second order arrow and said, "Qin Han, Dou Yihu listens to the order." ”

Qin Han, Dou Yihu hurriedly saluted and said, "See the marshal." ”

"Order the two of you to lead two thousand iron horsemen, quickly go around to the back of the Turkic army, and wait for them to enter the Heishuiling Gorge to seal the valley mouth, and cover up from behind. There must be no mistakes. ”

Qin Han and Dou Yihu received the order and hurriedly went out of the account.

Xue Dingshan took out another arrow and said, "Although the enemy has little chance of going through the other two roads, we must not be unguarded. Cheng Qianzhong, Cheng Wan listened to orders. ”

The two of them also hurriedly saluted, "Please give orders to the marshal." ”

"Give you two 500 men and horses, and spread flags and drums on the official road next to the White Tiger Pass to make a suspicious plan."

"Yes." Brother Cheng received the order and went out.

Xue Dingshan once again sent out a general's order and said: "Wei Chijiang, Yu Chisong listens to the order." Order the two of you to lead a thousand men and horses to guard the road on the left, and light a beacon fire at the junction to confuse the enemy. Brother Wei Chi answered, took the order and left.

After the order of the four generals was passed, Xue Dingshan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the top of the chair. In a hurry, even he himself was a little surprised to make such an arrangement. Suddenly, I remembered another thing: the Turkic generals dared to go to the White Tiger Pass to rob grain, and they must not have been ordinary generals. Can they handle it? Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up again and said, "Yinglong." Xue Yinglong hurriedly came over, and Shi Li said, "Daddy." ”

"Go and prepare a thousand cavalry, and follow me to the mouth of the Heishuiling Valley to intercept the Turks' men and horses."

"Yes." Xue Yinglong agreed, turned around and went out.
