After a few more days of westward travel, the caravan arrived at Datong Mansion in Xijing, Liao, where Sun Tu finally learned something about the final outcome of the Youzhou Incident—Yelu Sibuda and Xiao Dude, who had rebelled, had been defeated and killed, and Yelu Dashi, who had quelled the rebellion, was regarded by many Liao people as a great hero who turned the tide.

Originally, with the speed of news transmission in today's era, it is impossible for Xijing to receive the exact news from Nanjing within a month. But after all, this matter is too big, and it also involves the internal stability of the Liao State, so the news naturally spreads much faster than usual.

In addition, Yelu Sibuda and Xiao Dude were killed early, but many people were implicated by them. The Khitans' methods of dealing with rebellion are not as merciful as those of the Han people, as long as they are close to these two people, whether they are relatives or old friends, there is no good result this time, and even some officials here in Xijing were directly arrested and arrested, and then escorted to Beijing and handed over to the imperial court for disposal.

When Sun Tu and them entered the city, they saw that many officials were locked and escorted by Liao soldiers, and they cried out from time to time that they were wronged, but they were helpless. He naturally couldn't have any mercy for these Liao officials who suffered from the pond fish, but he was finally relieved after hearing that the envoy of the Song State was not killed.

He was really worried that Tong Guan would be killed by Xiao Dude, so it was very likely that the war between Song and Liao would start immediately, and that would not be the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty. In addition, about this peaceful Yelu Dashi, it also gave him a trace of worry and jealousy-

For Yelu Dashi, although Sun Tu didn't know much about history before he crossed, he had also heard of this name, and knew that he was a rare powerful figure at the end of the Liao Kingdom. It can be said that if it weren't for his persistence, the weak side of the Song State's military might not have been exposed to the Jin State, and maybe there would not have been a rapid demise of the country later.

And now this person actually took advantage of this rebellion to come to the forefront, which naturally made Sun Tu vigilant. At the same time, he also had a trace of doubts, whether Yelu Dashi had been in Youzhou City all along, if this was the case, maybe even this rebellion had occurred under his attention or even connivance, then this person's city government and methods would be really terrifying.

In fact, Sun Tu didn't know until now that the pillar of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Dashi, whom he was afraid of, was actually Yelu Arrow, who had spent a few days with him in Tokyo, otherwise he would definitely regret it even more, regretting why he didn't take the opportunity to get rid of this important minister of the Liao State earlier.

Of course, it is useless to mention these things now, for Sun Tu at this time, it is the best result to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to leave Liao Kingdom and return to the Great Song Dynasty safely. As for what kind of changes will occur within Da Liao now, and which heroes will rise, it is not up to him to influence.

In this matter, Huangfu is quite righteous, Sun Tu is now penniless, so he really contributed money and efforts to help treat injuries along the way, and after entering Xijing, he also deliberately helped Sun Tu find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and bought some herbs or something, which made Sun Tu's gratitude to him heavier, so the relationship between the two became closer and closer, although it was not a friend of life and death, but it was also a brother.

The caravan's stay in Xijing was not short, because the rest of the road was not easy. In addition to going over some difficult mountain roads and dangerous roads, the main thing is to go out of Xijing and then to the west is a more empty and desolate uninhabited land, and even a large area of Gobi wilderness.

In the era of a thousand years ago, even the most populous and wealthy Song Kingdom still had a large area of wilderness and no land, not to mention the more sparsely populated Liaoxia, and as for the junction between the two countries, it was more likely that there would be no people for hundreds of miles. Therefore, at this time, the merchants resold the goods far away in fact, they were fighting for their lives, the difficulties and dangers on the road were one after another, the equipment of food and drinking water was only the basic, and they had to have the strength to fight against wild beasts, robbers, and even sudden natural disasters, which had to be prepared before traveling, especially before leaving Xijing, the caravan had to arrange everything properly, and there must be no negligence.

The caravan entered Xijing City at the beginning of June, and it was not until the middle of the year that everything was arranged and ready to go. And after these days of recuperation and treatment, Sun Tu's injuries are also getting better. However, he did not offer to leave, but became a member of the caravan.

This is not only because he wants to use the identity of this caravan to leave the Liao country more easily, but also has the meaning of repaying these life-saving benefactors. After all, this westward march must be difficult, and he asked himself if he still had some skills, maybe he could help solve the difficulties when he encountered danger. And after Sun Tu showed a few kung fu in public, the whole caravan was full of joy and hired him as the team's bodyguard, and then together with a team of twenty guards hired from Xijing, this really set foot on the road to the west.

And another important reason for Sun Tu to go to Western Xia with everyone is that after recovering from his recovery, he gradually saw something different from the previous chaos in Nanjing.

The sudden rebellion of the day was a little suspicious in itself, why did he, an official of the Liao State, have to provoke a war between Song and Liao? The risks and gains here are actually completely disproportionate, and the only explanation is that he was deceived by some people and taken advantage of.

It's even more problematic to think that after his death, there was a guy who seemed to be a Han official who jumped out in a vain attempt to make his soldiers and horses fight again. Maybe this person is being manipulated behind his back, and it is this person who wants to cause Song Liao to turn against him and start a war for fear that the world will not be chaotic.

As for what else is hidden behind this person...... Sun Tu unconsciously remembered what Yelu Xiongge said when he was hunting that day - when two tigers compete, the last winner is often the evil wolf hiding not far away!

If the Liao and Song dynasties are considered tigers, then who are the wolves? Of course, Jin Guo is one, and even in Sun Tu's opinion, it is a more powerful tiger, but at this time, neither Song Liao knows its true strength, and the one who can make Yelu Xiongge jealous is now only one party - Western Xia!

For this country that has only been established for decades and its national strength is not too strong, Sun Tu's first impression is the grass on the wall. After the establishment of the Western Xia state, it has been vacillating between the two great powers of Song and Liao, Song Qiang voted for Song, and the Liao wall was a vassal to Liao, the real two-sided and three-sword, towards Qin and Dusk. But because these two countries have a restraining relationship with each other, they are always unable to deal with Western Xia with all their might, so a few decades later, the state of Western Xia is thriving.

Although the Great Song Dynasty had also sent troops to win against Xia several times before, there was still a sense of suffocation that could not be used against them to this day. Now it seems that I am afraid that even the Liao State has the same feeling towards the Western Xia, not only wanting to destroy it, but also worrying that this will give the Song State a chance to take advantage of it.

And the Western Xia side also knew how annoying they were, so they had been trying their best to urge Song Liao to fight, so that they could take advantage of the fire and fish in troubled waters. In Tokyo before, they had attacked the people of the Liao State Mission, so the accident after the Song Mission arrived in Nanjing this time is likely to be caused by them.

The more he thought about it, the more Sun Tu felt that his judgment was good, and Western Xia was the real mastermind behind the previous Nanjing rebellion. And this also reminded him that he can't just focus on the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, the Xia people in the northwest are the most insidious ones, and the so-called biting dogs never bark.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty really wants to let go of its hands and feet to start a war with the Liao State, and it is a necessary prerequisite to suppress the Western Xia, you must know that once the two countries are at war, the Western Army, which is the elite of the Song Army, will inevitably be drawn out, and in this way, the Western Territory of the Great Song Dynasty will be empty, and maybe the Xia people will take advantage of the weakness.

How to suppress the Western Xia, there will naturally be someone in the court who will hold the plan at that time, whether it is to promise benefits, or to send troops to hurt them first, but in Sun Tu's view, these are not as good as a method he thought of - to disturb the internal affairs of the Western Xia and let them have civil strife.

Therefore, this time, Sun Tu went to Western Xia with the caravan with the idea of whether he could disturb there. As for how to do this, he can't have a clue for the time being, but as long as he finds the slightest opportunity, he can let the Tangut people also taste cannibalism!

With these purposes in mind, Sun Tu embarked on a journey west with the caravan to Xia.

After leaving Xijing and moving forward for a few days, the surrounding environment was completely desolate and withered. Not to mention villages and towns, sometimes you can't even see a few trees, and some are just the desert Gobi that you can't see at a glance.

Originally, the team could still follow the river, but soon after entering the Gobi, the river quickly disappeared, which made everyone's journey more difficult and dangerous. You must know that it is the height of summer, and people's metabolism outside is already fast, coupled with the scorching sun, water loss has become the biggest problem.

Therefore, after a few days of travel, the team can only choose to hurry in the morning and evening, and find a place to camp and rest in the shade during the day, and sometimes even at night with the light of the stars and moon.

When others talked about businessmen, they were all interested in profit and parting, and there was a little more jealousy and disdain in their tones, but Sun Tu finally understood their hardships and hardships at this time. Although businessmen can obtain huge profits by buying low and selling high, for the vast majority of businessmen in this era, every money they earn is also injected with countless blood and sweat, and even their lives in exchange.

And this time to the west, the dangers encountered along the way are not only the bad weather and environment, after entering the Liaoxia border, that really uncontrolled desolate place, the real threat emerged......
