The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 2

December 1127, the second year of the Jing Kang reign of the Northern Song Dynasty and the first year of the Jian Yan reign of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Looking at the Jin Dynasty light cavalry circling around her, Madam Gong Er knew she could not escape.

In accordance with the usual style of the Jin people, all young and strong men would be killed, and women would be abducted and raped.

Once captured alive by them, a woman's fate would be worse than death.

In this case, it would be better to commit suicide to preserve her chastity... She tightened the eyebrow knife in her hand.

But she can't die.

She was the second daughter of Gong Yi, the leader of the Jimo uprising army, and her maiden name was Gong Yi.

In recent days, her father Gong Yi and elder brother Gong Dalang died in battle one after another, and the Jimo rebel army was also defeated by the Jin army and fell into pieces. Now only she can stand up, recruit old subordinates, and revitalize the rebel army.

If she died here, the Jimo rebel army would be finished.

However, in this situation, is there any way to escape?

At this point, I have to die even if I don’t want to.

At this moment, one of the men dressed as farmers yelled, "Look, look over there...what's that coming?"

Madam Gong Er turned her head and saw a horse galloping towards them from hundreds of meters away. The horse was a tall, crimson horse with flying blood-red mane. The man on the horse was wearing heavy armor with a green smock over the armor. He was dressed like a Confucian general and held a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which was only used for ceremonial purposes, in his hand.

It was still far away and I couldn't see his face clearly, but his beautiful beard was flying in the wind and I could see it clearly even from a distance.

Madam Gong Er was shocked: "That's... Master Guan Er?"

A subordinate dressed as a merchant also shouted: "It's really Guan Erye, I've seen him in the Temple of Martial Arts."

"how is this possible?"

"Master Guan is alive?"

"Who is it that is disguised as Guan Erye?"

Guan Yu's folk stories began to spread during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. By the Song Dynasty, they had become more and more mysterious, giving him a great influence among the people. Song Huizong conferred titles on Guan Yu five times, including "Duke Zhonghui", "King Zhaolie Wu'an", "King Yiyong Wu'an", etc. His titles were far higher than those of his peers, almost close to Jiang Taigong, so almost everyone present recognized him.

The Red Hare was fast, and in the blink of an eye, Guan Erye was already close. Now his face could be seen clearly. His face was as red as a date, with phoenix eyes and long eyebrows. He looked dignified and majestic.

Madam Gong Er and her subordinates were all stunned.

The Jin cavalry were not confused at all. The reputation of Guan Erye had not yet reached the ears of the barbarians. They had no idea who was in front of them and thought he was a general of the Song Dynasty.

The leading Jin general reined in his horse and prepared to fight.

However, the speed of Red Hare was far beyond General Jin's expectations. In just a blink of an eye, Guan Yu was already in front of him. General Jin was shocked and hurriedly raised his gun.

It's too late to raise the gun now...

Back then, there was a man named Yan Liang, whose martial arts skills were ten times better than that of this Jin general, and he died in the same scene.

Guan Erye swung the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, and a cold crescent-shaped light flashed. The golden general's head flew high into the sky, and the blood spurting from the broken neck scattered in all directions.

The Jin light cavalry nearby shouted in the Jurchen language: "Be careful of the Song general."

"What a quick knife!"

"kill him."

"Go together."

Killing a Song general was certainly more rewarding than killing a bunch of rebel soldiers. The Jin soldiers abandoned Gong Erniang and her group and rushed towards Guan Erye...

Guan Erye galloped through the enemy lines, swinging his Green Dragon Crescent Blade in rapid succession. With one blow to the left, a Jin soldier's head flew off, and with one blow to the right, a Jin soldier's head and shoulders were chopped off. He hid in the steps to avoid the Jin soldiers' arrows, and with a backhand blow, he cut the head of the Jin general next to him in half.

The Red Hare was fast. Nearly a hundred Jin cavalrymen surrounded Guan Erye alone, but they couldn't even touch a hair of Guan Erye. Every time the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was lit, a Jin cavalryman fell to the ground with blood splattering, as if he was chopping melons and vegetables with ease.

"Wow!"

Madam Gong Er and her subordinates were all staring with their eyes wide open.

Yue Wenxuan's eyes widened as he watched: the plastic Guan Yu, just placed on the sand table, wielding a plastic Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, chasing and hacking at the plastic Jin soldiers. Everyone was made of plastic, yet their movements were incredibly agile, as if they were alive.

As the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade passed, the plastic head fell onto the plastic ground, rolling like a ball. Red medicine flowed out from the broken surface, staining the plastic sand red...

"What the hell is going on here?"

Don’t panic when you encounter something, take out your phone and take a video first.

Guan Erye charged left and right, as if entering an empty mirror. In a short while, thirty-four Jin cavalrymen had fallen. Gong Er Niang also woke up from her shock and shouted, "Help! What are you still standing there for? If we don't kill the Jin thieves now, when will we?"

The rebel soldiers woke up one after another. A man dressed as a merchant actually had a pedal-operated crossbow. He stepped on the crossbow, used all his strength to draw the string, put an arrow on it, and shot it at the back of a Jin soldier. The Jin soldier was about to ride forward to besiege Guan Erye, but suddenly he felt a pain in his back and fell off his horse.

Madam Gong Er rushed forward, gave the Jin soldier another blow, and sent him to hell. She also picked up the Jin soldier's bow and arrow.

Her subordinates also came to their senses and hurried to pick up the bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers who were killed by Guan Erye.

Once you have a bow and arrow in your hand, you can shoot some arrows to help. It doesn't matter whether the shooting is accurate or not, the main purpose is to distract the enemy.

The Jin soldiers had been beaten to a pulp by Guan Yu, so how could they dare to continue fighting? Whistles and shouts came one after another, and the few remaining team leaders almost gave the order to retreat at the same time. The remaining fifty or sixty riders turned their horses around and fled to the northwest.

The sandbox became quiet...

Yue Wenxuan discovered that once the Jin soldiers fled, the Red Hare stopped running and Guan Erye also stopped moving. He stood proudly in a factory pose, as if he had turned back into a lifeless plastic figure.

He thought to himself: When I put Guan Erye into the sand table just now, the order I gave was "Go and defeat the Jin soldiers." Now that the Jin soldiers have been defeated, Guan Erye's mission is accomplished, so he immediately stopped all actions.

So that’s it.

Yue Wenxuan found that he had grasped one of the rules of using the sandbox: the plastic people placed in it would execute his own commands, but once the command was achieved, they would return to their factory posture and stand still.

Although Guan Erye has been paused, the world in the sandbox is still running normally.

Madam Gong Er's subordinates cheered loudly: "We won!"

"The Jin soldiers have fled."

"Quick, go grab those horses."

"Take off the leather armor and clothes from the body."

"They have food in their bags."

The remaining forty or so people rushed forward and stripped the Jin soldiers' bodies naked in the blink of an eye.

Madam Gong Er walked up to Master Guan Er and bowed deeply. "My surname is Gong, and I'm known as Madam Gong Er in the martial arts world. I'm the second daughter of Gong Yi, the former leader of the Jimo Righteous Army. Thank you so much, General, for saving my life. May I ask your full name?"

She suspected that someone had deliberately disguised himself as Guan Erye, and she didn't dare to call him that without asking clearly.

Master Guan Er maintained his original pose, standing still and silent, as if he didn't hear what Madam Gong Er said.

Madam Gong Er was a little embarrassed: "May I ask your name, General?"

Guan Erye remained proud and unmoved...

Yue Wenxuan couldn't help it and ordered Guan Erye, "Speak."

After giving the order, Guan Erye spoke in a steady and solemn tone, with a hint of Shanxi accent: "We swore brotherhood in Peach Garden, vowing to share life and death and face the national crisis together."

Madam Gong Er: “?”

Guan Erye continued, "I swear to die with you, even in the underworld."

Madam Gong Er: “???”

Guan Erye: "Loyalty is as clear as day!"

Madam Gong Er: “???”

Seeing this scene, Yue Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh: This plastic Guan Erye is no good. When I asked you to speak, what nonsense did you say? Are you reciting the character settings?

It seems that the orders I gave should not be too rough.

He had no choice but to give a more detailed order: "Master Guan, say 'Hello, Madam Gong'."

Guan Erye immediately spoke, his tone plain and straightforward, without any intonation, reading word by word: "Hello, Madam Gong Er."

This outrageous reading left Madam Gong Er stunned: Why does Master Guan speak like this?

Yue Wenxuan thought to himself, it seems that I can barely communicate by giving orders one by one and having Guan Erye repeat them, but this unspoken reading without intonation is too awkward. It would be much more convenient if I could directly use Guan Erye's body to speak...

As soon as he thought of this, he felt the space around him spiraling and twisting, as if he was sucked into the sandbox by a vortex. The next moment, he was already inside Guan Erye's body. Looking down, he saw that he was riding the Red Hare, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his left hand, and stroking his long beard with his right hand.

Huh?
The second master Guan is possessed!

　PS: One of the rules for using the sandbox: The protagonist can possess a plastic figure to enter the world in the sandbox and gain the abilities of the possessed person.
