Li Da was very happy, and ordered to reward the soldiers of the Saer country, and more than 100 soldiers came to transport them, and Li Da spent blood money, ten taels of silver per person. This reward is not only Taihua, but even Chen Lu was taken aback, this is also too tyrant, and he can buy more than three times this with silver.

If you think about it, you will understand, this is a disguised envelope, the name is rewarded to the soldiers, and it is not sent to each soldier, but to let Luo Ti send it on his behalf, and after he goes back, it is not that they say that it is a reward, it is not good to say that it is a reward to Taihua, it is good to say. More than 1,000 taels of silver, these two chief officials can be regarded as making a small fortune.

The mission lacks nothing, but not gold and silver. Of course, there are also some silk, porcelain and other specialties.

Next, Chen Lu made a suggestion to make peace between the two families, he still knows Taihua better, he is not Qiu Ba with developed limbs and a simple mind, but a general with certain political wisdom.

Sure enough, Taihua was overjoyed after listening to Chen Lu's speech, and said: "The angel has thought thoroughly, and we will fully cooperate, so I will send a messenger to accompany me, and while writing to the lord of the country, the two will not be delayed." ”

In the end, it was finalized that Loty would lead a team of 100 people as an envoy of the Saar Kingdom. The mission to the north, with Li Xian as the boss, ordered the two sides. Taihua wrote down a warrant, stamped it with the seal of the general army, and handed it to Li Xian, whose soldiers did not listen to the dispatch and killed him, of course, including Luo Ti.

At that time, at three o'clock, the people and horses were heavy, and they prepared more gold and silver, and went to the north of the camp of the Saer Kingdom with Taihua. Before Taihua left, he ordered the soldiers to give the mission five drill monkeys to use as a warning.

It was already midnight when Tai Hua and Li were sent away, and the officers and men had already finished their breakfast and were waiting for orders. Li Da ordered the camp to be pulled.

The mission marched west along the official road, and although it was still snowing, it was not too cold, and there was no strong wind, and the pace of the march was moderate. When it was not time, I walked about sixty miles and came to a canyon.

On both sides are low hills, and the mountains are densely packed with pine trees covered with crystal snow, and at the foot of the mountains are also various trees, which cover the official road tightly.

Long Gang passed down the military order and advanced in battle sequence. Because the sentinels had already reported that the canyon did not know how long it was, they had walked more than ten miles, and they had not yet seen the end.

Wang Daju returned to the envoy to escort him and ordered him to be on guard, Chen Lu was also riding a horse, looking around, and he also felt that it was a good place to fight an ambush, and he was on full alert.

There was a whistle, it was an order to pause, Long Gang ran to the driver's place, checked again, Li Da found that he was very nervous, and asked, "Long Gang, did you find something?"

Long Gang whispered: "There is no snow hanging in a large area of pine trees here, and there are people in the pine forest. He instructed Wang Daju: "Once the fight starts, you don't care about the front and back, protecting a few drivers is a great achievement." Wang Daju agreed.

The brigade walked for more than a mile, and a trumpet sounded, and a rain of arrows came from the black pine forests on both sides. The mission had already been prepared, and the shield bearers were escorting, and everyone did not stop and continued to move forward.

The thieves in the pine forest did not show up, and everyone walked out more than a mile, and a cordon had been set up in front of them, blocking the way.

The front team also quickly saw that they were wearing official and military uniforms, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over to report.

Long Gang said: "It can't be the official army, the official army will not set up an ambush on both sides so secretly, negotiate with them first, and see what they say." Remember not to go close. ”

The front team had already reached the point where they were close to a stone's throw away, and they quickly shouted in the Western Regions: "Who are you, and why are you setting up a guard on the official road?"

A general laughed: "You are asking the opposite, this is our land, of course we can set up a guard at any time to check passers-by." Where are you from?"

He was also not polite: "Are you blind? Can't see our flag? Are you Taihua's team?" This is to pull the big flag as a tiger skin, so as to scare it, and I can't help but say it.

The other party was silent for a while, as if discussing something, and after a while, the man said, "We are the team of the Taihua general soldiers." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the guide sentry sent by Taihua came over, looked at it, and asked, "Which one are you from? Why haven't I seen you?"

The other party was silent for a while, and suddenly there was a burst of cannonballs, and the cannon stones were thrown at the mission. The sentry chief shouted, "They're thieves." ”

He also quickly said: "I have seen it a long time ago, brothers, kill it." With a wave of his saber, he led the soldiers to rush over, and the soldiers lined up in two teams on the official road, and rushed over on horseback, and a series of crossbows tore open a gap, and quickly occupied the position of the thieves, and the thieves retreated to the second line of defense.

Long Gang urged the team to follow up, and Yao Bao reminded: "Dashuai, beware of thieves and fire attacks." ”

Long Gang said: "Don't be afraid, they don't dare, this official road is too narrow, if they release rockets, they will definitely burn the pine forests on both sides, then they will be doomed." We must look at both sides. ”

Before everyone could enter the cordon, there was a shout of killing behind them, and Long Gang knew that there was fire in the back. After a while, someone came to report that two hundred-man teams were attacking the mission, wearing variegated clothes and official and military uniforms.

Long Gang was taken aback, where did so many people come from? He knew that the thieves wanted to disrupt the deployment of the mission and take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.

Long Gang also ordered that they were not allowed to move in their original positions, and they were not allowed to support each other without Long Gang's order. But the back can no longer be supported. You can't lose your baggage. Long Gang is in a dilemma.

At this time, he also quickly sent someone to report that there was a bald mountain on the left, with a radius of five or six miles, whether it could rush over and occupy it.

Long Gang told Yao Bao to command for him, and he quietly ran over to take a look, and he quickly came up and pointed to the left front.

Long Gang said: "In this way, let's make a temptation, Ben will go back to help Hu Chun, if it succeeds, we will rush forward directly, if they have troops from the flank, you are ready to occupy the bald mountain, look at my banner." ”

As he spoke, he returned to the command position. Ordered loudly: "Yao Bao, go and support Hu Chun." ”

Yao Bao rushed backwards with his own bannermen. There was already danger in the back, and some thieves had rushed to the baggage truck, ready to snatch the gold and silver. Some of the men had died, and most of the soldiers were hung with prizes.

Yao Bao roared and gave the order to fire, and the fire guns broke out together, and in an instant, more than a dozen thieves were overturned, and they immediately retreated out of the range of the fire guns.

A burst of drums and horns sounded, and the thieves launched a full-scale attack on both sides, and they waited for Long Gang to transfer troops. Long Gang secretly applauded, this was not an ordinary thief, he immediately ordered to quickly wave the flag to Xiang Ye.

He quickly ignored the thief soldiers in front of him, and suddenly rushed towards the bald mountain in front of the left, and before the thieves could react, he had already occupied the bald mountain, and all the firepower was fired forward, and the thief soldier shouted and retreated to the pine forest.

Long Gang saw that he was quick to succeed, overjoyed, and ordered the Chinese army to quickly rush to the bald mountain, and Wang Daju urged the men and horses to follow quickly, and when he arrived at the bald mountain, he also quickly converged and set up a guard. Long Gang ordered Wang Daju to go to the rescue of the baggage team.
