Xue Dingshan called Xu Qing again and instructed: "Brother Xian, you guard the camp, and don't publicize the grain and grass in advance, so as not to affect the morale of the army and cause panic." Xu Qing nodded and said, "I know, please rest assured, marshal." ”

Xue Dingshan saw that everything was arranged, and then he came out of the treasure tent of the Chinese army. Xue Yinglong had already ordered all the people, and You Zhi and Ma Lin were waiting outside the gate. Xue Dingshan mounted his horse with a halberd, left the camp with a thousand cavalry, and went straight to Heishuiling.

When I came to Heishuiling, it was already waning. Xue Dingshan ordered the soldiers to set up an ambush, and he took Xue Yinglong and You Zhi with him, and Ma Lin climbed a high cliff and looked into the distance.

I saw: mountains and mountains in the distance, and the forests were dyed; The nearby grass and trees are verdant, and birds and insects are singing; The sound of the waterfall can be faintly heard, and the mountains and forests under the sunset are magnificent and magnificent.

Xue Dingshan had no intention of enjoying the scenery in front of him. Holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, his heart was uneasy. Although the drip of his own arrangement is not leaky, when will Jiang Xu and the others be in place? Who did the Turks send to rob the grain? Will the Turkic generals be able to pass through here? Or is it long gone? It's all still speculation.

Since the ** regained the White Tiger Pass, the news reached the Turkic royal court, which made the royal court panic. Marshal Su Baotong hurriedly united with the division Li Daofu, Li Chongxu, the military division flying bowl monk, and the iron plate Dao sent invitations to invite talented people to come to help the soldiers. He also ordered the main generals of each pass and village to strictly guard against the westward advance.

However, more than three months have passed, and ** has not moved. Su Baotong was a little confused, and hurriedly summoned his soldiers to discuss the military situation.

After listening to him, the national teacher Li Daofu said: "Marshal, if you don't enter the army, it must be because the roads are difficult to travel due to the abundant rain this year, and their supplies cannot be helped. But they were not idle, and heard reports from Tanma that they were stepping up their efforts to straighten out their personnel. If the rainy season is over, the supplies are sufficient, and the soldiers will definitely go out of the three levels. There is a plan for the poor road. Although there are some adventures, if they can be successful, it will be enough to stop the ** army. ”

Su Baotong hurriedly asked, "National teacher, please speak." If you can really stop the ** from entering the army, it is worth taking some risks. ”

Li Daofu sneered and said: "As the saying goes: 'Poison is better than food', why don't we send a sentry to lurk in the White Tiger Pass in disguise, looking for an opportunity to rob the best grain and grass." First, it can cut off the supply of **; Second, it can also replenish our provisions. What does the marshal think? ”

Su Baotong listened, pondered for a while, and said: "It's a good plan, but it's too dangerous." ”

Li Daofu said: "Marshal." ** We may not have expected that we would dare to send troops into the hinterland of the three passes. By the time they realized that they had lost their food and grass, we would have already retreated. Langya Zhai Mountain is high and densely forested, which is most suitable for ambushing soldiers. We ambushed the soldiers there and waited for the opportunity to move, robbed the grain if there was a chance, and waited for the ** to make a follow-up response after entering the army, and if it was really not possible, we would withdraw, and it was not expected that there would be too much risk. ”

Su Baotong nodded and said, "What the immortal chief said is extreme, but who did he send to lead the troops into Langya Village?" ”

Li Daofu smiled, "If the marshal believes in Poor Dao, Poor Dao is willing to lead his men and horses to sneak into Langya Village." Su Baotong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's time to bother the immortal chief for this hard trip." The two men looked at each other for a while, laughing almost at the same time.

Three days later, Li Daofu took his disciples Manziya, Manzihai, and several Turkic generals such as Wulihei, led 5,000 men and horses to disguise themselves, sneaked into the boundary of Baihu Pass in batches, and stationed in the dense forest of Langya Village. Send a few detailed works to Baihu Pass to inquire about the news.

When the garrison Langya Village was nearly half a month, the fine work who went to Baihu Pass came back and reported: ** I want to reward the three armies on Qixi Festival, and I want to marry Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua. There is also a detailed return to Suoyang Pass: the grain sent by Hanjiang Pass has passed through Suoyang Pass and has approached Langya Village. Li Daofu was overjoyed, thinking that the time had come, and hurriedly divided his troops and sent generals to ambush day and night.

On this day, Chai Jun and Tie Peng were passing under Langya Village with food. They never expected a Turkic ambush here. was caught off guard by Li Daofu, and all the food and salary were lost. In desperation, Chai Jun led the remnants of the defeated army back to Suoyang Pass to recollect food and wages, and Tie Peng rushed to Baihu Pass on a fast horse regardless of his injuries.

Li Daofu robbed the grain and grass and did not dare to stay, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to leave Langya Village and return to the Turks with heavy vehicles.

Walking to the three-way intersection, Li Daofu hesitated. Ulihei asked him, "National teacher, why don't you leave?" Li Daofu pointed to the road ahead and said, "Which of these three roads should we take?" We can't walk this trail, and the remaining two roads, one of which passes through the White Tiger Pass, will we not be walking from there into the mouth of the tiger. Another road, passing through the Heishuiling Long Gorge, if ** receives the news and sets up an ambush in the valley, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to pass. Ulihei smiled and said, "The courage of the national teacher is getting smaller and smaller. Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and ** is now treating the three armies and celebrating the festival. It's time to relax your vigilance, and you and me can still be taken care of there. Even if ** receives the news, it will take a long time to gather people and horses, and then divide the troops and send generals. Can't you pass the canyon for more than ten miles? When you reach the open realm, are you still afraid of the best generals with your and my means? I'm afraid that if we cross the Heishui Ridge to the Turkic realm, they may not be able to catch up. ”

Li Daofu heard that he was reasonable, nodded and said, "The general is reasonable. Come, the heralds should prepare more rattan cards to protect the sides, speed up the march, and cross the Black Water Ridge as soon as possible. When the herald heard the order, he hurriedly passed the order on Pegasus. The Turks were ready and walked down to the Black Water Ridge.

Xue Dingshan led Xue Yinglong and the others on the cliff at the mouth of the Heishuiling Valley, looking at the valley with anxiety by the faint light of the stars and moon.

Suddenly, a scout horse galloped up and reported: "Marshal Qiyu." General Jiang, General Qin has arrived. Xue Dingshan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and waved his hand to let Tanma go down. Before the tanma could turn around and descend the cliff, another tanma came back and reported: "Marshal, the Turkic centaurs have entered the canyon." Xue Dingshan's heart fell when he heard this. Hurriedly instructed the herald and said: "Pass down the general's order, so that the sergeants cheer up and prepare to meet the enemy." Before the words fell, another probe came to report: "Marshal, the advance of the Turkic centaurs is already approaching the mouth of the valley. Xue Dingshan nodded, let the tanma retreat, hurriedly drew his bow and arrows, and shot three arrows into the air.

With the terrible roar of arrows piercing the night sky, the wolf's tooth arrows on the cliffs on the left and right shot down like flying locusts. Li Daofu was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the rattan players to cover in both compartments, and ordered Ulihei to supervise the rear team and hurriedly rushed to the mountain pass.
