Chapter 255: Ordered to Meet the Emperor
"drive!"
On the official road in Yongzhou, three thousand cavalry galloped on the road, with a Pangzi general flag in the middle, fluttering against the strong wind.
At this time, a scout sentry galloped towards him.
"Sima! There are two carriages twenty miles to the east, surrounded by hundreds of cavalry guards."
When Pang De heard the news, his eyes lit up.
"The whole army obeys the order and advances immediately."
Three thousand cavalry galloped out immediately, and countless horseshoes rolled over the official road, splashing countless sand and dust, leaving countless horseshoe marks on the ground.
After traveling for more than ten miles, Pound saw two carriages surrounded by hundreds of army horses from a distance, and his face was overjoyed.
Pointing forward with the spear in his hand, Pound shouted.
"Assault the whole army, don't crash the carriage!"
Three thousand cavalry rolled out, and immediately bumped into the hundreds of cavalry on the opposite side.
Five hundred iron cavalry from Xiliang escorted Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He to Hongnong. The journey was peaceful and calm. How could they have thought that an iron cavalry would suddenly appear?
The low-ranking officers in Dong Zhuo's army, such as the Marquis and the Chief of the Tunnel, hurriedly ordered their troops and horses to resist. They gathered 500 cavalry, and the 3,000 cavalry on the opposite side rushed towards them like a torrent.
"The queen mother and the king don't come out."
Xun You turned around and gave instructions, raised the sword at his waist, and guarded in front of the carriage. The ancient scholar-bureaucrats had to learn the six arts of a gentleman, among them were archery and imperialism, that is, archery, driving a carriage, and riding a horse. Therefore, even Xun You was not a powerless scholar, and ordinary people could handle it.
He opened the door curtain and looked, only to see flesh and blood flying in front of him, two iron cavalry entangled in one place, soldiers of the two armies brandished sabers and drew longbows to fight each other, the scene was rather cruel.
A knight of the Liangzhou army drew up his long bow and shot an arrow. A Dong Zhuojun got an arrow in his chest and immediately fell off his horse.
But before this Liangzhou army knight could be happy, a rather fierce Dong Zhuojun in the rebellious army rushed out, brandished the saber in his hand, and slashed diagonally down from his shoulder. Divide him into two halves.
Knight Dong Jun grinned, and his eyes suddenly drifted towards Xun You.
Xun You frowned, and immediately clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand.
"kill!"
Knight Dong Jun held the saber, his body heaved and fell in accordance with the rhythm of the horse's back, rushed in front of Xun You, and swung the saber suddenly, smashing the air, and the wind was loud.
Without fear, Xun You stood up and stabbed out with a sword. The tip of the sword touched the blade, deflecting Dong Jun's knight's blade. Taking advantage of the situation, Xun You suddenly swung his sword horizontally, and the sharp blade instantly cut through the enemy's leather armor and penetrated into the flesh.
The enemy knight ran out for a while, his body staggered, and he fell to the ground suddenly.
But Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, a little glad that he could still remember the fencing skills he had learned in his mind, and at the same time secretly made up his mind: he must not relax his fencing skills after returning home, and he must study hard and practice more.
But at this moment, a Marquis of the Bingzhou Army came to kill him on horseback, his eyes fixed on Xun You.
Xun You frowned. His fencing skills were quite good against ordinary pawns, but he was somewhat powerless against military lords.
But at this moment, an arrow feather pierced the air and struck with a loud sound, and shot heavily at Bingzhou Junhou, shooting him off his horse.
Xun You looked at the trajectory of the arrow, and saw a white horse general with a helmet on top and a spear in his hand, and put away his longbow.
"Pang De! Pang Lingming, come quickly, the emperor and queen mother are here!"
Hearing the shout from a distance, Pang De was overjoyed and rode his horse to gallop over.
"Mr. Gongda, it's really been a long time. How are you?" Pang De was immediately happy when he saw Xun You, and then hurriedly cared about Xun You. After all, he is a celebrity, and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so don't get hurt.
The excited Xun You calmed down, stood up and said, "It's all right, the emperor and the queen mother are among them."
Pang De was taken aback, and hurriedly got off his horse, bowed solemnly to the ground, and said loudly: "Pang De, the commander of the army under Liu Ye, the Minister of Liangzhou, please see the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven."
"Pang Sima doesn't need to be polite, please get up." Liu Bian said excitedly.
Pang De gently lifted the curtain, glanced at Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian in the car, and immediately lowered his head.
"The humble minister is rude and offended. I have already led the army to defeat Dong's army. Please Queen Mother, the emperor does not need to worry. The general will naturally escort His Majesty and his party to Liangzhou."
Empress Dowager He breathed a sigh of relief: "The first emperor passed away, the great general was killed, my mother and son are alone and helpless, Mr. Xun has to worry about everything, and Pang Sima is gone."
After confirming Queen Mother He and Liu Bian, Pang De immediately put down the curtain lightly, then walked a few steps away, and smiled at Xun You: "Mr. Gongda, thanks to the general who met Mr. Gongda in Luoyang, otherwise King Hongnong would It will be in Dong Zhuo's hands."
Xun You smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that Dong Zhuo was ambitious and arbitrarily abolished the emperor. I hope Master Xing of Liu Liangzhou will attack Dong Zhuo and rectify the world!"
With a solemn face, Pang De clasped his fists and said: "Naturally, Dong Zhuo is a rebellious minister and traitor, and all people with lofty ideals in the world are gnashing their teeth. After we escort the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven to a safe place, we will send King Xing out of Tongguan to attack Dong Zhuo."
Xun You nodded gratifiedly, finally it was not in vain to save the queen mother and the emperor after all his painstaking efforts.
And Pound led three thousand cavalry, far more than Dong Zhuo's five hundred army horses. Naturally, he won a complete victory, and the five hundred men were almost wiped out.
The iron cavalry galloped so fast that even with two carriages, it would take less than a month to return to Liangzhou. When these people went back to report the news, Dong Zhuo sent troops to chase after them. It is estimated that a new court has been established.
And Liu Ye took away Han Shaodi and the Empress Dowager. Naturally, it is impossible to hide them. He is justified. First, he is a clan member of the Han family, and second, he is to cater to the emperor. There is nothing shameful, even if the news leaks out. .
Xun You was still sitting in the second carriage, while Pang De ordered someone to clean up the battlefield, and immediately led three thousand cavalry to escort the Queen Mother He, King Hongnong and others to the west, almost day and night . Empress Dowager He and the others only needed to sleep in the carriage, and naturally there were sergeants under Pound's command to drive the carriage, which was much faster than Dong Zhuojun escorting the two of them.
Dong Zhuojun, who escaped by chance, ran back to Luoyang and told him the news that the Queen Mother and King Hongnong had been taken away. Dong Zhuo was naturally furious.
"What? King Hongnong and the Queen Mother were both kidnapped. What's going on?" Dong Zhuo said angrily. Everything went well these days, so why did something like this happen today.
Li Ru on the side was questioning the sergeant who ran back, and nodded slightly, if he got something.
