Just as Xue Dingshan finished speaking, he heard the sound of a horse bell hanging at the mouth of the ravine. He also heard a woman shouting loudly,"Xue Dingshan, where are you going?”Xue Dingshan saw that it was Su Jinlian. He hurriedly said to the ugly girl,"This is Su Jinlian. I want to fight her to the death."”After saying that, he mounted his horse and brandished the spear in his hand, ready to fight Su Jinlian again. "Wait a minute," the woman said. Second marshal, you don't need to do anything, I still have something to say to you. Watch from the side how I deal with this little girl.”As she spoke, she also got on her horse and swung her hammers straight at Su Jinlian.
Su Jinlian took a look. Was it a man or a woman? If she was a woman, why was she so ugly? If she was a man, why was her head full of flowers and her feet wearing embroidered shoes? On second thought, who cares! "Hey, who are you?"”"You don't even know me. Let me tell you, I have a name, but I won't tell you. I'm afraid that your teeth will be sore and your breath will be bad. Who are you? How dare you chase after Second Marshal Xue Dingshan. You must be tired of living. Today, I will send you to the afterlife.”Clang! Clang! The two hammers collided together, creating a deafening sound. Su Jinlian's horse charged forward and swung her horse. The ugly woman swung her hammers and fought with her. Su Jinlian's strength was not as great as hers. After three moves, the broadsword collided with the hammerhead. A " chi-chi " sound was heard from her ear, and the broadsword was knocked away. Su Jinlian shook her hand, and her thumb and forefinger were torn. She turned her horse around, took out the whistle, and blew into her mouth. The three Sun God Falcons above her head pursed their wings and flew towards the ugly girl. Xue Dingshan saw it clearly from behind and shouted loudly,"Benefactor, pay attention. The Divine Sun Condor is very powerful.”When the ugly girl heard this, she said," I didn't say anything. Don't worry. This thing is nothing. It's just a little sparrow."”Out of the three Sun God Falcons, two of them came down and wanted to bite her face. This girl was neither flustered nor hurried. She made a palace flower with her hat, and her twin hammers moved upwards. Ba ba, one hammer, one, and the two Sun God Falcons rolled their eyes. At this moment, the third divine eagle arrived. Then, she saw the fifth young lady lift her leg and hang the twin hammers. She stretched out her wrist and caught the eagle. Before the eagle could bite her, she was faster than the eagle. She grabbed the Sun Eagle's two legs and split them left and right. With a crack, she split the eagle. Xue Dingshan was so scared that he stuck out his tongue. The ugly girl threw the dead eagle to the ground and pointed at Su Jinlian." What kind of intentions do you have? You don't have the ability to make this little sparrow run here to scare people. Today, I will definitely kill you."”Su Jinlian saw that the situation wasn't looking good, so she turned her horse and fled.
The ugly girl didn't know how many people were lying in ambush, so she gave up chasing after a while. She turned her horse around and came in front of Xue Dingshan."How is it? Did you see it?”"Benefactor, you are indeed very capable.”"Come on, stop talking nonsense. I don't even understand. I saved you, how are you going to thank me?”"Benefactor, just say it. If you want gold, you have gold, if you want silver, you have silver. If you want to be an official, I'll go back and report to His Majesty to give you an official position.”"I don't want it either. What's the use of that lousy thing? Let me tell you, I have a request.”
The ugly girl defeated Su Jinlian in front of the two armies. She made a request to Xue Dingshan. Xue Dingshan was about to ask when he heard the sound of hooves. Xue Dingshan looked up and saw that it was Duke Cheng of Lu biting gold. Old Cheng observed the enemy formation for Xue Dingshan. Seeing that Ding Shan was being held by the Sun God Condor and fleeing, he was worried and rushed over. Because he was old and had to ask for directions, he was delayed. Old Cheng wiped his sweat and said,"Ding Shan, where did that foreign female general go?"”"Grandpa, you came at the right time. That enemy general was defeated by this benefactor.”When Old Cheng heard this, he quickly came over to greet the ugly girl. When he saw her, Old Cheng was shocked. Is this a man or a woman? Why did he look like this? The ugly girl spoke first,"Old man, who are you?”"Hehe, I am Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu of the Great Tang Dynasty!”"Haha, that's great. It seems like there's hope for me.”"Miss, what's your name? Where are you from? What's the matter?" Old Cheng asked.”"Aiya, old man, this is a long story.”The ugly girl told him her purpose for coming.
It turned out that this ugly girl's surname was Chen, and her name was Jin Ding. Her father was the Flower Saber General Chen Zhong, and her ancestral home was from the Central Plains. Chen Zhong's father, Chen Ming, was a Sui Dynasty general and was the commander of Si Water Pass. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang had caused chaos and massacred loyal officials. Chen Ming was framed and killed by Yang Guang. After hearing the news, Chen Zhong fled overnight and came to Xiliang. Because he was full of martial arts and was dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty, he was deeply trusted by the King of Hami and appointed as the commander of Jiepai Pass. He had led his troops to fight against the Sui and Tang armies. After Zhenguan, he saw that the Tang Empire was growing stronger and stronger and wanted to return to the Central Plains. However, he was afraid that the Tang Empire would not accept him and was depressed. He resigned from the post of commander of Jiepai Pass and stayed at home to idle. Chen Zhong only had one daughter, Chen Jinding. Although she was silly and ugly, she had strength and was used to wielding two sledgehammers. She had the courage that ten thousand men could not match. When she found out that her hometown was from the Central Plains, she kept arguing with her father about wanting to go back to the Central Plains. Recently, she had heard that the Tang soldiers were at war with Xiliang, and she was going to the two armies again. However, her father stopped her, and Chen Jinding was very unhappy. Today, in the name of hunting, she still wanted to go to Yang-lock Pass. She did not expect to meet Xue Dingshan and Cheng Yaojin here.
Chen Jinding explained the situation, and Xue Dingshan and Cheng Yaojin were overjoyed. Old Cheng patted his big belly and said," Miss, you did the right thing. The people of the Central Plains should return to the Central Plains. I guarantee that the Tang camp will welcome you and even call you a general."”"Is that so? That's great. When are we going?”"I'll go and send a message to the Emperor, the military counselor, and the marshal first. As for you, go back and discuss with your father. Within three days, you all will come to Yang-locking Pass to find me.”"Alright, let's do that." They parted ways.
Two flowers bloomed, each showing a branch. When Old Cheng and Ding Shan returned to the Tang camp, all the generals in the camp surrounded them. They first bowed to the Emperor, then to the Marshal and the Military Advisor, and handed in their tokens. The Emperor asked,"Xue Dingshan, your horse was frightened and fled in panic. What happened after that?"”"Long live the report.”Xue Dingshan then told him about how he fought until Chen Jinding was willing to join Tang. Old Cheng said," Long live, you haven't seen it. Chen Jinding is a fierce general. He is very useful to us."”The Emperor and Marshal were delighted and prepared to welcome the Chen father and daughter.
Military Advisor Xu Maogong discussed with the Emperor and the Commander-in-chief,""In the military camp, men and women are inconvenienced. While we are resting now, why don't we marry Ding Shan first and then attack!”The Emperor nodded in agreement. Xue Rengui said," The military affairs are in a hurry, and the war is changing. How can we care about these things? It's not too late to let them get married after we return."”Military Advisor Xu said," Marshal, don't force yourself on this matter. Ask the two ladies for their opinions. If they want to do it, then do it."”When Xue Rengui and the two madams said this, the two madams were very happy. Only then did Xue Rengui agree. The emperor issued an edict to let Ding Shan and Xiantong get married. The whole camp held a feast to celebrate. From the Emperor to the soldiers, all of them cheered. The rock-paper-scissors game was extremely lively.
On this day, a banquet was being held in the camp when someone came into the tent to report,""Commander, a group of people has arrived outside the city. They are pulling a large cart and carrying boxes. They claim to be Chen Zhong and Chen Jinding.”When Xue Rengui heard this, he knew that it was the Chen father and daughter who had come. He was also filled with joy and let them enter the city. Marshal Xue personally went to the outside of the tent to welcome the Chen father and daughter back to Tang. Chen Zhong, his daughter, and the generals all saluted. Later, he gave the emperor a salute. Li Shimin praised him a few times and called Chen Zhong and Chen Jinding to listen to the marshal's tent.
A few days later, Military Advisor Xu issued a command. The army left Suoyang and rushed to Hanjiang Pass. Hanjiang Pass was the main road leading to Western Liang. It was surrounded by mountains on both sides and a mountain city in the middle. Moreover, this pass was tall and sturdy. It was guarded by one person and could not be opened by tens of thousands of people. It occupied a favorable terrain. Halfway through the journey, the army found out that the marshal of Hanjiang Pass was named Fan Hong. He had two sons called Fan Long and Fan Hu. Old Fan's grandfather was benevolent and his martial arts skills were very strong. Therefore, the King of Hami ordered them to guard Hanjiang Pass. Li Shimin and others have already known, ten miles away from Hanjiang Pass set up camp. The soldiers had their fill of food and waited for orders.
The next day, Marshal Xue Rengui sat in a large tent, and all the generals in the camp stood in two chambers. Xue Rengui said,"Hanjiang Pass is right in front of us. Which general is willing to ask for your permission to open the army and fight?"”Before he could finish, Luo Zhang and Qin Ying flashed out from the side. The two of them came to the marshal's table and bowed."Marshal, this general is not talented and is willing to leave the city.”After his father's death, Luo Zhang had helped the coffin back to the capital. After his father's funeral, he immediately rushed back to the former enemy. Because he knew that the two armies were in need of manpower, he had rushed back to attack Hanjiang Pass. Luo Zhang thought to himself. My father died so miserably, I must fight this battle. Only by killing a few thieves with my own hands can I vent the anger in my chest. Therefore, he volunteered to come and ask for orders. Marshal Xue knew his feelings and nodded in agreement. He let Luo Zhang be the leader and Qin Ying be the deputy. He also told them to be extra careful. "Yes, sir." The two generals received the order and mounted their horses outside the gate. They fired three cannons and charged out of the camp.
Soon, they arrived outside Hanjiang City. Luo Zhang raised his spear in place of the military order. The soldiers set up their formation with the Two Dragons Out of the Water Form. Luo Zhang immediately held his spear horizontally and scolded the enemy.
Around the time of a meal, they heard three cannon shots at Hanjiang Pass. Then, the gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered. Hami's army appeared in front of the pass. They were in a square formation, with the Flying Dragon Flag, Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Biao Flag, and Flying Leopard Flag. The large and small war flags fluttered in the wind, standing on the left and right, with three warhorses in the middle. Luo Zhang and Qin Ying looked at the two young men sitting on the saddle. One of them had a white face and the other had a black face. They could be said to be the two generals of the black and white. They had iron helmets on their heads and copper armor on their bodies. With a bow on the left and a wolf tooth arrow on the right, each of them held a large knife in their hands. They were majestic and dignified. The two generals held the corner of the array. The old general in the middle was even more awe-inspiring. He wore a square-winged golden helmet on his head, a golden armor with large leaves on his body, and a purple robe on his back. He rode on a big green horse, held a three-legged machete in his hand, had a face like a silver basin, a white beard scattered all over his chest, and two eyes like lamps. Despite his age, he was like a fierce tiger. The three horses stood properly. The old general in the lead waved his saber and shouted loudly,"Hey, Tang general, don't show your might.”
Luo Zhang pointed his spear at him." Bah! You don't even know when you're dead. Do you know how powerful this little general is?"”
"Who are you?" the old man asked. Is your name Xue Dingshan?"
"Wrong, my name is Luo Zhang. I am under the command of Grand Marshal Xue Rengui, and I am a general. This time, I asked for the order to fight to take your Hanjiang Pass. Old man, who are you?" "Haha, you are the marshal of Hanjiang Pass, Fan Hong. These are our sons, Fan Long and Fan Hu. Little child, if you can defeat me, you can easily get Hanjiang Pass. If you can't defeat me, you will be able to cross Hanjiang Pass."”Luo Zhang was furious when he heard that. He urged his horse and charged straight at Fan Hong. Before Fan Hong could reach out his hand, his eldest son, Fan Long, came over."Father, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Give this little child to me.”The Eldest Young Master lifted his horse forward and swung his saber with both hands to fight Luo Zhang.
When Luo Zhang saw Fan Long stepping out, he also raised his spear to meet him. Luo Zhang was quite capable. Although he was young, he was proficient in spear techniques. As soon as the two of them reached out, Fan Long showed that he couldn't take it. The horse was stupid, and the knife was clumsy. After more than ten rounds, Luo Zhang raised his spear and stabbed it into his thigh. Fan Long was in so much pain that he let out an "Aiya" and turned his horse away. He finally returned to his team, and blood kept flowing out. "Father, I returned in defeat." "Useless thing, quickly find a military doctor to treat it.”The military doctor came over and bandaged the wound.
Before Fan Hong could speak, Fan Hu urged his horse to swing his saber and charged straight at Luo Zhang. Luo Zhang was in high spirits after winning the battle. Just as he was about to go over to receive the battle, Qin Ying shouted from behind,"Brother, give this person to me. We brothers will each take one. Don't let you take the credit alone.”"Alright, brother, be careful.”"It's alright." Little Qin Ying urged her horse to fight Fan Hu. After fifteen or sixteen rounds, Qin Ying raised her spear and stabbed Fan Hu's shoulder. Fan Hu gritted his teeth in pain and fell on his horse. He was defeated and returned to his team. "Father, I returned in defeat." "Pah, useless things, a pair of good-for-nothings. Quickly bandage your wounds.”Fan Hu went over.
Fan Hong, the old general, tapped his feet on the stirrups and swung his saber as he charged straight at Qin Ying. It was easy for Luo Zhang and Qin Ying to beat Fan Long and Fan Hu, but they couldn't beat the old man. The old man's beard fluttered in the wind, and his saber danced like a spinning wheel. "Wu, wu, wu!" Luo Zhang and Qin Ying were sweating profusely from exhaustion, unable to win.
The messenger flew back to the camp and reported to the marshal that the two young generals had won at the beginning but could not win now. When Xue Dingshan heard this, he came forward and said,"Father, I am willing to ask you to fight." "Ding Shan, you're different from others. Other people win and lose, but you can only win. You must make up for your mistakes.”"I will follow your orders." Xue Dingshan received the order and gathered 3,000 soldiers to the front of the two armies.
When he arrived at the front of the formation, he saw Luo Zhang and Qin Ying with slanted armor and loose soft robes. They were no match for the old general. Ding Shan ordered the bell to ring and let them come back. Clang! "Generals, please return." Upon hearing this, Luo Zhang and Qin Ying feigned a move and jumped out of the circle, returning to their team. Seeing that it was Xue Dingshan, the two brothers were amused." Brother, you're here."”"I'm here." "Brother, this old man is quite powerful. You have to be careful.”"It's okay. The two of you observe the enemy for me.”"Yes." The two brothers wiped their sweat under the flag as they watched.
Xue Dingshan's feet touched the flying tiger's tail, and his little belly touched the horse's iron beam and judge's head. The horse's mane was messy, and he ran to the front of the formation to meet Fan Hong. Fan Hong was also exhausted from the battle just now, so he took advantage of this opportunity to catch his breath. He wiped the sweat off his face and looked at the saber. Yo, there was another young man who was much stronger than the previous two. He had a Heavenly King Helmet on his head, a Tai Sui Pin on his body, a pearl robe on his outer cover, and a pair of cloud-climbing shoes. He held an eight-foot-long dragon spear in his hand, a bow on his left hand, and a carved feather arrow on his right hand. He carried a cloud-sweeping whip on his back, and he was awe-inspiring. Fan Hong was secretly amazed when he saw this. He pointed with his saber and shouted loudly,"Hey, doll, who are you?" Xue Dingshan smiled slightly." Old man, I am the Second Marshal, the Ten Treasures General, the Dragon Tiger Champion Xue Dingshan.”When Fan Hong heard this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He sized it up for a long time and praised in his heart, A father is a hero, and a son is a hero. A strong general has no weak soldiers. This is Xue Rengui's son. Xue Rengui has shown his face. His son is even better than him! Where could he find this young man? It was rare for him to be talented in both civil and military affairs, and he looked outstanding. We are the enemies of the two countries. If not for the fact that we are enemies, I would have to get close to Xue Dingshan. This was what it meant to be a hero loving a man.
The old man thought for a long time and laughed."Xue Dingshan, you have such a great reputation, but even after making a fuss for so long, your hair still hasn't receded. You're still a student. This old man would like to experience it. Knife!"欻! It was a slash that split Mount Hua. Xue Dingshan used the [Fishing for the Moon in the Sea] technique and used the Lone Dragon Spear to block.”The knife was knocked out. Immediately after, he stabbed Fan Hong's throat with his backhand spear. Fan Hong turned his body sideways on his horse and dodged the spear. He swung his broadsword and locked the jade belt around his waist. He rushed towards Xue Luoshan's waist and slashed. Xue Dingshan's feet stepped forward, and his body leaned back. He used the Vajra Sticking Bridge, and the knife missed. Just like that, the old man and the young man fought in front of the pass. The two armies waved their flags and cheered for their respective generals, almost breaking the drums. "Kill! Fight!" "Gululu!" As they fought, Fan Hong gradually couldn't hold on any longer. Xue Dingshan used the welcoming door three times, and then ran to the door with three consecutive shots. Fan Hong was anxious and raised his saber with both hands to parry. Who knew that this was a feint? Xue Dingshan's intention was not this. He raised the back handle and pressed the front handle. The great spear slid down and headed for his abdomen. Seeing that things were not good, Fan Hong twisted his body to the side. His body was slow to dodge, but the spear was fast. It pierced his ribs, and a crack was heard in his ear!”The three layers of armor were all pierced through, and a large hole about two inches deep and four inches long was dug into his ribs. Fan Hong was old, so how could he withstand this? He cried out in pain and leaned sideways on the horse. He held the knife in one hand and covered his wound with the other. He was defeated and returned to his team.
Xue Dingshan waved his silver spear.”The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all brave and rushed to the front."Kill them, we have to pass Hanjiang Pass!" He rushed up. Relying on Fan Hong's fast horse, he led Erzi across the suspension bridge and ordered,""Quickly draw your bow and release your arrows." The soldiers on the city pulled open their Baodiao bows and arrows like flying locusts, shooting back the Tang soldiers.
After Fan Hong entered the pass, he ordered the thousand-pound gate to be lowered and the war-free card to be hung high. When the three of them returned home, half of them were lying in bed. When the old man took off his armor, he found that the spear was slightly off. If it moved a little, he would not be able to keep his life. Even so, his injuries were still very serious. After applying hemostatic medicine, taking painkillers, and bandaging, the old man was bedridden. The daughters-in-law of the two families and the old madam had all arrived. The whole family surrounded the old man and cried loudly. Madam He said," You're quite old. Why must you go to war? You should have listened to me and resigned as soon as possible. Half of the three of you are injured. Your son is still young and can still hold on. You're so old, I'm afraid it's not good for you."”The whole family cried when she said that. Fan Hong lay on the bed and coughed."Sigh, I'm old and don't care about the past. I don't have the strength to do so. It seems that I can't keep my life. I can't close my eyes even if I die! First, Hanjiang Pass must not be given to the Great Tang. Secondly, if I don't take revenge, I won't be able to vent my anger.”"Who did you ask to avenge you?" "Madam, now I think of our daughter. Quickly send someone to bring our daughter back to Hanjiang Pass and avenge me.”Who was his daughter? It was Fan Lihua. Fan Lihua was a famous talented woman in ancient China. She wasn't at home at that time. She had left home and was in the Purple Glow Palace of the Nine Heavens. Why did Fan Lihua want to become a monk? There was a hidden reason behind this. The old man finally remembered his daughter. Madam He thought that it was right. No matter what, if the old man was not around, the two of them could also meet. Then, she ordered someone to take the Four Treasures of the Study. She helped the old man sit up with difficulty and wrote a letter to Fan Lihua. After writing it, she put it in the envelope and called a reliable family member. She ordered him to ride a fast horse to give the letter to Miss Fan Lihua and ask her to return to Hanjiang Pass as soon as possible after seeing the letter. The servant nodded, took the letter with him, and rode a fast horse to invite the young miss.
