Chapter 190
Rushing
Shen Yuexi and his party broke away from the Jingzhou cavalry and fled desperately.
What she was worried about was not to be captured by the Jingzhou Army, while General Jia wanted to go to Yongwei quickly to treat his illness. Both parties had a tacit understanding, and the carriage ran as fast as flying.
Even so, General Jia felt that the speed was slow and kept urging: "Let's run quickly, they are cavalry, it is easy to chase us."
Shen Yuexi and others were so shaken in the car that they could not sit still. They bumped their heads and waists, and they had to endure it in order to escape.
After running for a while, she pushed open the car window and shouted: "I ran so far, it should be okay. Let's go slower, otherwise the car will fall apart if we go fast."
Qiang Lin looked back: "Master, another group of cavalry is catching up!"
General Jia looked back at the dust in the distance. He was shocked and didn't know what to do. He said: "We took advantage of the chaos to escape. General Zhang must have known that something was wrong. He is here to take us back."
With this carriage here, there is no way it can outrun the cavalry.
When the incoming army rushed forward, Shen Yuexi shouted in surprise: "It's General Zhang... No, it's General Zhang from Xiliang."
The men chasing after them were the Xiliang cavalry led by Qianhu Zhang Song.
Previously, Zhang Song from Qianhu went to Langya Pass with Ma Pu to rescue them. She also asked Zhang Song's soldiers to recite evil spells to the villagers in Xiaogang Village.
Zhang Song caught up to her, reined in his mount, and shouted hurriedly: "It's Mrs. Shen! Let's not talk about it for now... let's run."
Shen Yuexi fainted. Just now, General Jia kept saying to run away because he was being chased by the cavalry. Why did he say to run away now that Zhang Song is here?
When I looked at Zhang Song, his helmet was gone, his armor was loose, and the scabbard on his waist was empty. He was very embarrassed.
"Zhang Qianhu, what's going on?" she asked.
"Don't mention it. The thousand cavalry I led couldn't defeat the Jingzhou cavalry on the opposite side. I escaped first..." Zhang Song said slightly embarrassed.
Only then did Shen Yuexi understand that the Xiliang cavalry had been defeated as soon as they had a confrontation with the enemy. Zhang Song was running away with the remaining defeated soldiers.
Thinking that the Jingzhou cavalry might be chasing them, three groups of people formed a team and continued to run wildly along the road. While running, Zhang Song talked to Shen Yuexi about what happened in Yongwei.
It turned out that Zhang Song came to find Li Wan with a thousand cavalry.
After she left with Li Wan, Xiliang Wang Meicheng was furious, and Xiao Zhuo refused to help him fight. In anger, he directly sent Mei Pu out to attack Zhangwu City, which was occupied by Xirong.
But Li Wan could not ignore Li Wan who had escaped. The king of Xiliang sent Zhang Song to lead the cavalry to look for the people. Xiao Zhuo also sent Qiu Liming to lead people to look for them. The two groups of people went in different directions. Zhang Song was heading towards Longsheng Town.
As a result, they ran into the Jingzhou cavalry before they reached Longsheng Town. Zhang Song originally intended to avoid the battle, but the sergeant reported that Mei Dai's carriage was found among the Jingzhou cavalry. Zhang Song then decided to come to the rescue.
The two sides met in a hurry, and they had no time to detect each other's strength and directly fought hand-to-hand. Zhang Song did not expect that the opponent's cavalry had 3,000, and his 1,000 cavalry were scattered on the spot. Fortunately, he saw the carriage and quickly led the remaining troops. Chased him.
Seeing that Zhang Song had three to four hundred cavalry on his side, Shen Yuexi no longer worried about General Jia's men. She told Zhang Song about the previous situation, including the news that the Jingzhou army was about to arrive.
Zhang Songru was struck by lightning and almost fell off his horse.
No wonder they encountered the Jingzhou cavalry in Xiliang. It turned out that the enemy had already launched a massive attack.
"Mrs. Shen, since these people won't help the Jingzhou Army fight, then find a place to treat them." Zhang Song said, "We have to go back and report to the prince now."
After running for another distance, the wheels of the carriage began to creak and everyone had to stop.
Qiang Lin looked back, lay down on the ground again, listened carefully for a moment, stood up and said to Shen Yuexi: "Master, the Jingzhou cavalry did not catch up."
Mrs. Li and Li Wan had never been in such a fast carriage, and they were jolted to the point of vomiting. Doctor Hua was not much better. He was hit on the head several times. Although it was not serious, he covered his head and groaned for a long time.
The cavalry dismounted one after another. The Jingzhou cavalry was on one side of the carriage and the Xiliang cavalry was on the other side of the carriage. They were clearly distinguished.
Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Doctor Hua and others to rest in the car. She took some food from the car and gave it to Qiang Lin and the secret guards, and then took a water bag to drink.
After just two sips, another group of people came from a distance.
Shen Yuexi wasn't nervous this time. There weren't as many people on the other side as there were on her side. And judging from their clothes, they didn't look like the army.
"Master, I finally found you!" the visitor shouted from a distance.
Shen Yuexi raised her hand and said, "General Qiu, I've even found you."
Qiu Liming led his men to arrive, jumped off his horse, came to Shen Yuexi and saluted, and said: "Master, I finally found you. Fortunately, I met a caravan and said that I had seen your carriage. Otherwise, we really don't know where to go. try to find. "
"My husband didn't come?"
Shen Yuexi felt unhappy when she saw that Xiao Zhuo was not in the team. This man actually didn't come to pick him up in person.
Before Qiu Liming could open his mouth, Shen Yuexi said first, "Is he at home with those ten beauties?"
Previously, the secret guards of Qiang Lin came to report that Xiao Zhuo was out looking for her. But Qiu Liming had found her, and Xiao Zhuo was still missing, which made her feel very depressed.
Qiu Liming rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile: "Master, let's talk about this... you better not blame the lord. The lord didn't keep those ten beauties at all."
"Didn't stay?" Shen Yuexi asked doubtfully, "If they didn't stay, where did they go?"
"My Lord rewarded all ten beauties to his subordinates, but he didn't keep any for himself." Qiu Liming said with his fingers, "Three of them were sent to Xiaogang Village. Military Advisor Song and I both... ahem, both."
"Oh." Shen Yuexi snorted, "Did he show any distress?"
Qiu Liming smiled and said: "My lord has said that it is enough for him to have you as his wife and he does not need other women."
That's pretty much it.
Shen Yuexi suddenly became happy again: "Then let's go back to Yongwei to find my husband."
Zhang Song ran over and said, "Mrs. Shen, let's leave quickly. The Jingzhou army has invaded. This news is extremely urgent. We must report it to the prince immediately."
"Jingzhou army invaded?" Qiu Liming asked in surprise.
He came from the other side and did not encounter a confrontation between the two cavalry. Shen Yuexi told him about the scene she saw on the top of the mountain.
After hearing this, Qiu Liming jumped up and shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"We all thought you already knew." Zhang Song replied.
"It doesn't matter whether I know or not," Qiu Liming said in a hurry, "Everyone, get on your horse. I heard the news last night that the King of Xiliang led all the troops to support Mepu in attacking Zhangwu. Now Yongwei is an empty city."
After hearing the news, everyone panicked.
"Mei Cheng is really confused. Jingzhou is always watching behind his back. Doesn't he know?" Shen Yuexi complained while packing the water bag.
But if you think about it carefully, isn't it normal for the King of Xiliang to make such a stupid decision based on his urine quality?
"It's useless to go back and report the news now," Qiu Liming got on his horse and said, "Yongwei is too close to here. If the Jingzhou army attacks, it will be impossible to defend. Let's go to Yongwei City to find the lord. Let's see what the lord means."
Everyone started running towards Yongwei again.
News kept coming along the way. First, a scout came to report that after a night of fierce fighting, Mepu, the prince of Xiliang, captured Zhangwu.
After good news came bad news. The Xirong people mobilized their troops and in turn surrounded Mepu in Zhangwu City. It turned out that Xiliang King Meicheng led all the troops to save his son.
Everyone ran for a day and night back to Yongwei. When they arrived in the city, Shen Yuexi jumped out of the car to look for Xiao Zhuo. She found that Xiao Zhuo was not there either. Only military advisor Song Zhen stayed.
"My lord said that Prince Mei was kind to him in rescuing the siege and saving his life. Prince Mei was besieged in Zhangwu. He couldn't ignore it." Song Zhen said to Shen Yuexi, "My lord left yesterday. Before he left, he told me that if Shen When Madam comes back, just wait here for him to come back."
Shen Yuexi shook her head: "Don't wait any longer. Let's go together, Military Advisor Song. Anyway, there is room in the carriage. Go to Zhangwu to find my husband."
Faced with this huge crisis, the only way to find Xiao Zhuo is to find him.
Qiu Liming and Song Zhen talked about the invasion of the Jingzhou Army. Song Zhen was also shocked, even his feather fan fell to the ground, and he stamped his feet and said: "Yongwei is an empty city with no army at all. How can we defend it?"
He pulled out the paper and spread it on the table: "I will write a letter immediately and report it to the King of Xiliang, asking him to quickly turn back the army. If Yongwei is lost, we will be doomed."
Qiu Liming snatched the pen from Song Zhen's hand and put it on the desk: "Military advisor, what books are you still repairing? Hurry up and leave. The Jingzhou Army will soon know the news that Yongwei is an empty city, and their cavalry will soon When we get there, we will all be prisoners."
Everyone packed their bags one after another. Shen Yuexi ordered the sergeants to inform the people of Yongwei and ask them to leave the city and take refuge.
Now that Shen Yuexi is leaving, General Jia has to follow. He knows that the situation is urgent and Shen Yuexi doesn't have time to make medicine slowly. As long as he follows Shen Yuexi, his life will be saved.
