Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Out of the generational friendship between the Liao and Song Dynasties, Tong Guan readily agreed to Yelu Moge's request, but it was a bit embarrassing when ordering generals, because the generals of the Song Dynasty rushed to escort Yelu Guyu. The one who was active was Concubine Wei Xian's younger brother Wei Xianda.

Chapter 531 Quicksand Domain

Wei Xianda is different from Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai is a relative of the emperor, and Wei Xianda is a relative of the state.Zhao Kai wanted to keep his life clean for the sake of his future, but Wei Xianda didn't have to think about these things.

Since Wang Mang usurped power at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, all the orthodox royal families in the Central Plains have been able to learn from history and strictly guard against the monopoly of foreign relatives. Therefore, although Concubine Wei Xian is favored, her relatives have no political future at all. Just a little money.

When he saw Yelu Guyu, he was immediately shocked, and secretly vowed to marry this extremely charming woman.

At this time, four of the five armies surrounded the Xingqing mansion, and "Bai Sheng" wearing a bronze mask all returned to Tong Guan's side, and he, the supervising army, lost his authority to dictate in the army.

That's why he recommended himself and asked to escort Yelugu back to Liao. Anyway, his position in the army is not very important.

Of course Tong Guan understood what Wei Xianda was thinking, but this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to offend Concubine Wei Xian for it, so he agreed to Wei Xianda's petition.

In order not to cause him any accidents on the road, he simply didn't need [-], and directly sent [-] soldiers under his command. With such a force, no bandit would dare to disturb him from Xingqing Mansion to Dading Mansion.

On the day of the negotiation, Wei Xianda led [-] troops to escort Yelu Guyu and Yelu Moge from the Great Song Army Camp, heading north from the east of the Yellow River to the Liao Kingdom.

Songba and Tong Guan, the two top masters in the world, could not spark any sparks in this situation, but they just paid attention to each other, and Songba returned to Xingqing Mansion after the negotiation.

Let's just talk about Wei Xianda, who led the team to the north for three days. All the way, he kept his horses in front of and behind Yelu Guyu's chariot. Get into the carriage and kiss Fangze.

Yelugu wanted to feel his hospitality, so he was polite to him, and talked with him along the way, mostly about the Song-Xia war.

Ask Wei Xianda why the Western Xia soldiers and horses are so vulnerable this time, and why the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are so prosperous?

Of course, Wei Xianda couldn't tell how the other three groups of soldiers and horses attacked Xingqing Mansion. He only talked about how he stormed Liangzhou City on this route. He couldn't tell anyone's name and surname, so he just covered it up by saying that he didn't understand Xixia.

As the privy envoy of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, Brother Yelumo was of course very interested in the military strength of the Song Dynasty, so he also joined in the chat.

He knew that Wei Xianda was bragging, but he didn't point it out, he just asked who in the Great Song Army was good at fighting and strong in martial arts.

Wei Xianda said: "Of course Marshal Tong ranks first in terms of martial arts, and Xia Yan ranks second. Zhang Jun, Zhan Renlong, Bai Sheng and others rank third, fourth, fourth, fifth, and so on. If it is about resourcefulness, I dare not be just mere."

Yelu Gu wanted to say, "I heard people say that Bai Sheng of Song Dynasty is very powerful, but you are even stronger than Bai Sheng, I admire you!"

Wei Xianda was startled, and said, "Where did your highness hear that Bai Sheng is powerful?"

Yelu wanted to say: "I heard from my sister that Bai Sheng has joined Xixia, but I don't understand why Xixia still lost."

As a queen, Yelu Nanxian couldn't avoid asking Li Qianshun about the war situation while worrying about the war situation. Li Qianshun had something to ask of her, so of course he would not hide anything from her, so Yelu Nanxian knew that "Li Ruolan" subdued Bai Sheng of.

What's more, this incident happened in Xixia's palace, and it is said that Bai Sheng who surrendered was Bai Feng who saved Yelu Guyu back then, how could sister Yelu not pay attention?On the topic of Bai Sheng's surrender, the two sisters discussed more than once.

Wei Xianda didn't know anything about what happened in Xingqing Prefecture, he was shocked and said, "When did Bai Sheng join Xixia? Why didn't I know?"

Yelugu wanted to know that he had slipped his tongue, and smiled awkwardly: "Ah, I'm so talkative." He couldn't help feeling sorry for Bai Sheng in his heart.

It is a secret that Bai Sheng surrendered to Xixia, but you told the secret to the people of Song Dynasty. Isn't this cheating Bai Sheng?How can you treat your savior like this?

But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take them back.

But Brother Yelumo felt that it didn't matter, and said: "Since he dared to betray, he is not afraid that Da Song will find out, and the princess does not need to blame herself."

Wei Xianda's heart was filled with monstrous waves, okay, you are a Bai Sheng, you actually eat inside and outside, now I can catch you, when I go back to Bianjing, I asked my sister, as long as my sister agrees, from now on you Bai Sheng is the dough in the hands of our Wei family, you can knead it however you want.

Before Bai Sheng announced outside Liangzhou city that he would only encircle and not fight, he had already written a memorial and sent it back to the capital, but who would have thought that within a few days the Xixia people in Liangzhou city would voluntarily surrender.

Moreover, it is said that the elite guards of the city were transferred to other battlefields, but Wei Xianda did not get the credit for this, because others said that it was Bai Sheng who surrendered instead of Da Song!

To be honest, even Tong Guan can't get any credit for this credit. Of course, Tong Guan, as the commander of the Five Route Army, can get some credit for knowing people and doing things well, but Wei Xianda can't do it. , he is just a supervisor.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the team continued to move forward, barely reaching the edge of the desert. It only took another fifty miles to reach the edge of the Yellow River, but they encountered the most terrifying existence in the desert, quicksand.

Quicksand Quicksand is floating floating sand. This kind of sand is a natural phenomenon like a swamp, and it is a terrifying existence that can swallow the lives of humans and animals.

No one knows when this desert area turned into a quicksand area. The location of this quicksand area is not fixed, but it is mostly found near water sources or in places with abundant groundwater reserves.

Although Yelu Moge and Yelu Guyu's entourage from the Liao Kingdom had experienced guides on this road, they had no experience of entering the Quicksand Region.

The quicksand domain has always been a terrifying legend in the desert.

But this legend was met by Wei Xianda's [-]-strong army.

They didn't know how they entered the quicksand area. When they discovered this terrifying fact, ten thousand troops were already falling, people falling, horses falling, and carriages falling.

What is more terrifying than the swamp is that in the quicksand, it is impossible to rescue the fallen companions around you. If you save him, you have to die with him, there is no other possibility.

The guides shouted hoarsely, reminding everyone not to run around, but to remember the route they just walked and return the same way.

But the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty had never seen such a horrible place, they didn't listen to the restraint at all, and went to hide in places where there were traps, and those places were just the devil's mouth waiting to devour them.

Especially those who ran around in panic, fell faster than anyone else!

The afterglow of the setting sun made the desert dark red. In the dark red vision, there are raised arms and desperate faces everywhere. Accompanied by the tragic cry, these faces were quickly swallowed by the floating sand. Only pairs of weird forearms and hands remained.

When the sun sank to the horizon, there were only a few hundred people and half a carriage left in this desert.

The hundred or ten people were scattered in different locations, and they all had one thing in common, that is, from the very beginning of discovering the quicksand to the present, they stood still in place.

Of course, staying still doesn't mean they won't fall. There are thousands of people like them who choose to stay still, but it's clear that the sand under their feet will swallow them up no matter how they move.

Wei Xianda was very lucky. The place where his horse stopped happened to be a piece of hard sand. When he first found that the surrounding people, horses and vehicles had collapsed, he didn't want to run, but was frightened.

But now that he has come to his senses, his first reaction is to worry about the horses under his seat running wild, and his second thought is how heavy is it for one person riding one horse?I quickly got off the horse, and pulled the horse out with another whip. At this time, how can you share this precious land with me?

The horse only ran a foot away before its four legs were swallowed by quicksand, and it sank down whining.

Chapter 532 The Real Sandstorm

Brother Yelumo disappeared, presumably swallowed by quicksand.

There is only half of Yelu Guyu's carriage left, why is it called half?Because the wheels, the lower part of the carriage, and the horses pulling the carriage have all fallen into the quicksand, while the upper half of the carriage remains above the sand.

Yelu Guyu must still be alive, because she kept screaming in horror before, but now she has changed to crying.

No one will rescue her, although Wei Xianda is only two feet away from her carriage, but Wei Xianda dare not move half a step.

Wei Xianda also cried in fright.

Not only Wei Xianda, but also the remaining [-] soldiers of the Song Army were crying because they could not see any hope of surviving.

Standing in the desert like this, even if you are not swallowed by the quicksand, you will die of hunger and thirst, and you will be buried by the wind and sand within a day and night.

The team of 1 people is equipped with food, grass and luggage, but the food, grass and luggage vehicles are also trapped in the quicksand. Don't look at Yelu Guyu's carriage. No, they were all swallowed up without a trace.
