世祖討山胡白龍，意甚輕之，單將數十騎登山臨嶮，每日如此。 When Emperor Shizu campaigned against the Mountain Hu chieftain Bai Long, he took the enemy lightly and would ride up alone with only a few dozen horsemen to overlook the steep passes, doing so day after day.

白龍乃伏壯士十餘處，出於不意，世祖墮馬，幾至不測。 Bai Long had hidden stalwart warriors in more than ten places; they sprang out unexpectedly, the emperor was thrown from his horse, and he came within a hair's breadth of disaster.
