On the sixth day after the end of the combat meeting, which was the third day of October in the ninth year of Jian'an, Liu Cong took his wife Cai Fengfei, four maids in military uniforms, and his personal servant Lai Fatty Liang Zhu'er Ma Gan'er to cross the Han River.

Arrive at the North Shore Pier.

At this time, the last group of people participating in regaining the lost territory were crossing the river. Only thirty or so Xiangjiang navy warships were seen plying the water of the Xiangjiang River, transporting Jingzhou soldiers on the south bank to the dock on the north bank.

It is the season of late autumn and early winter, and a bright sun hangs high in the sky, illuminating the world with splendor.

The weather was not hot, but a thin layer of mist covered the river, shrouding the soldiers' supplies, carriages, horses and boats on both sides of the river in the mist, giving it a somewhat mysterious appearance.

Liu Cong was wearing a bronze beast chainmail and a sword given by the emperor on his waist. He stood majestically at Gaofu, looking at the ships passing by on the river. Incomparable pride surged in his heart. This pride spurred his mood, and he was naturally moved.

Thinking: "I finally started to compete with the old thief Cao Cao. It's a pity that the old thief is not here! But, don't rush, there is plenty of time. Sooner or later I will compete with the old thief Cao Cao in person. Huh, competing in the world, who doesn't want to win? Cao Cao is now

I am making my own wishful thinking in Hebei, planning to finish off Yuan Shao's forces, then come over to occupy the south of the Yangtze River, and then replace the Han family in the world. Well, it depends on whether the sword in my hand allows it!"

Liu Cong thought of this and turned around to look at the troops behind him. He saw the elite Jingzhou soldiers who had already crossed the river. According to the plan, under the leadership of various generals, they stepped onto the road in an orderly manner and headed for the original position.

The team marched majestically, without any noise. The autumn wind began to rise, urging the flags in the team to hunt and flutter in the wind. The scouts and sentries passed the news back and forth, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds carried by the soldiers reflected the sunlight from time to time.

, flashing with dazzling white light.

Liu Cong saw that the team was setting off in an orderly manner, and his mood gradually calmed down, so he ordered Liang Zhuer: "Mount your horse! Follow the team to set off towards Yunxia Mountain."

After hearing the order, Ma Gan'er immediately brought Liu Cong's horse over. Just as Liu Cong was about to get on the horse, he turned around and saw his wife Cai Yunfei holding the reins of a piebald Mongolian pony mare. She stepped on the stirrup and shrugged.

He sat lightly on the horse, then turned the horse's head and looked towards Liu Cong, preparing to pass Liu Cong's horse team and then move forward.

When Liu Cong saw this, he couldn't help shouting: "You are such a good rider! Unexpectedly, Madam is actually a woman! Women are not inferior to men."

The shout was not loud, and I wonder if Cai Fengfei heard it. When Liu Cong looked at Cai Fengfei carefully, he saw that Cai Fengfei was also in military uniform, with a red gauze on his head tangled up his hair, wearing a scarlet cloak, and a pair of deerskin boots.

He wears boots, and a short sword hangs from his waist. A long orange tassel hangs from the handle of the sword, and it hangs down to the horse's belly. Behind him are four domestic maids, all of whom are also wearing short swords.

Wear military uniform.

When Liu Cong glanced at the distance, he saw Cai Yunfei and the four women behind him, standing in the middle of the army, like five pomegranate flowers blooming in the bushes all over the mountains and plains, although they were beautiful and eye-catching.

, but it was very uncoordinated. Liu Cong cursed in his heart: "Cai Fengfei, you are fooling! I won't let you follow, but you come here! Do you think they asked you to come here to show off your beauty and become a model on the battlefield? Go home!"

Liu Cong cursed that he knew he couldn't have an attack here, so he winked at Liang Zhu'er and whispered: "Go over and send a message to Madam, instructing her to take her maid and return home immediately with the next ship. You are not allowed to cross Xiang without my instructions.

Jiang Yiyi!"

Liang Zhuer looked at Liu Cong in surprise, and just sang: "Here!" I don't know why Liu Cong was so angry, but he forgot to leave.

Liu Cong saw him and kicked him down: "Go quickly!"

Liang Zhu'er then stood up and ran to Cai Fengfei like a rabbit. He grabbed the bridle of Cai Fengfei's horse with one hand and stammered Liu Cong's message to Cai Fengfei.

Cai Fengfei was startled and hurriedly looked up at Liu Cong, waiting for Liu Cong to express his meaning to him.

Here Liu Cong stared at Cai Fengfei with a cold eyebrow. Seeing that Cai Fengfei could not move, he held the scabbard with one hand and drew the emperor's sword twice with the other hand. Then he gave a fierce blow, inserted the sword into the scabbard, and pointed his right hand in the direction of Xiangyang.

With one finger, he stamped the ground under his feet with two more feet, meaning to tell Cai Feng to roll away quickly.

Cai Fengfei didn't dare to ask anymore, so he had to lead the maid to the shore with doubts, boarded the boat and went home.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, Liu Cong went home and told Cai Fengfei about his next move, and Cai Fengfei thought: "Now that my husband is gone, I don't know what year or month he will come back. The battlefield is full of dangers, and I really can't rest assured. Besides, I'm not newlyweds."

It's been two months since we separated like this. It's a shame for my husband. And there's no woman around to take care of me. How can I live peacefully at home? It's better to leave my husband at the age of two, so that I can have someone to take care of me." Thinking of this, he said: "

My husband is going to Jiangbei to fight, and there is no woman around to take care of him. This servant is really worried. Otherwise?" After saying this, he stared at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong knew what she meant as soon as he heard it, and asked casually: "How? You tell me."

"How about I follow my husband to the north of the Yangtze River, so that I can help him sleep and eat in the morning and evening."

Liu Cong didn't even think about it when he heard this, and simply replied: "No, no, no! How is it appropriate for a woman to accompany the army? No!"

Cai Fengfei saw Liu Cong's unwillingness to be accommodating and knew that it would be difficult to convince him, so he went around trying to persuade him: "When I was at my mother's house, I really respected Sun Shangxiang and devoted myself to learning from her in studying and practicing martial arts. I wanted to be Sun Shangxiang when I became an adult."

Such a heroine. Although she stopped midway, she was not afraid of swords and fought hard. The servant wanted to follow her husband on the battlefield, so he didn't have to worry. She also didn't want to make achievements. She just served her husband day and night, and for her husband's country.

Do your best to be a woman when it comes to important matters."

In fact, Liu Cong knew Cai Fengfei's life experience and knew that she was not afraid of swords or fighting. He just felt uncomfortable leading an army to fight with a woman. So he got up and dressed, opened the door and walked out, leaving a message as he stepped away.

: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Madam can't accompany me on the expedition. It's settled. I have something to go out to take care of, so please don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, Liu Cong closed the door and left. He walked to the door without caring about Cai Fengfei's kindness and muttered: "I know you are thinking about doing good things with me, but I don't have the leisure time. Humph! Besides, where can I be?

Are you missing a woman?"

After muttering here, he walked away and went to the Yamen to do some business.

When Liu Cong came back for dinner after dark, he saw Mrs. Cai sitting in her living room with a stern and cold face when she walked in. Cai Fengfei stood next to her, also looking unhappy.

Liu Cong hurriedly came over to greet An, and then stood nearby and asked carefully: "What are your orders, mother?"

Mrs. Cai, however, said simply: "Cong'er is going to Jiangbei to fight. I'll come here to see you off on your father's behalf. I have nothing else to say. I just leave you one sentence - when you go to Jiangbei, you must take your wife with you! This

That's what your father said. If you don't take it with you, don't go to Jiangbei. That's what your father said."

After Mrs. Cai finished speaking, she stood up and said, "That's it. I'm going back." Without looking back, she walked straight out surrounded by two maids.

When Liu Cong and Cai Fengfei hurriedly sent them out, Mrs. Cai still didn't look back and just left.

Liu Cong became angry and turned to look at Cai Fengfei. He took a deep breath and knew that the matter was irreversible, so he had to lower his head and go home. After entering, he muttered in his heart: "Wait, I will take you to Jiangbei.

"

It turned out that after Liu Cong left home, the more Cai Fengfei thought about it, the more he felt that he should follow Liu Cong on the expedition. The first reason was to take care of Liu Cong's food and daily life, and the second reason was that he was not pregnant after less than two months of marriage.

Now that my husband is out, I don’t know when he will come back in what month or year. Just come back safely. Wouldn’t it delay the opportunity to pass on the lineage to the Liu family? “There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is to have no heirs.” Cai Fengfei doesn’t want Liu Cong to be an unfilial person.

.

Thinking of this, Cai Fengfei knew that he could not convince Liu Cong, and suddenly thought of Mrs. Cai: "Yes! Wasn't it my aunt who urged my uncle to do the previous thing? That's right! Just go find your aunt."

So Cai Fengfei came to see Mrs. Cai, and told her aunt her concerns with tears in her eyes. As soon as Cai Fengfei said this, her aunt, Mrs. Cai, was tempted. As soon as her aunt was tempted, she thought of discussing with Liu Biao, but then she changed her mind and thought about this matter.

There is no need to tell Liu Biao, he made the decision himself: "How dare he not do what I asked him to do? I don't need to make the decision on other matters. In order to continue the incense, I will make it up to him."

So Mrs. Cai came over and left a bunch of hard words, not allowing Liu Cong to argue, got up and went home.

Liu Cong did not dare to refute, so he could only agree in a low voice.

However, this boy has a plan in mind: "I, Liu Cong, have a way to entertain you!"

No, on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, a method was used. "The army has already taken action, and the people and horses have basically completed crossing the river. There is nothing we can do. Madam, please go home."

Liu Cong sneered as Cai Fengfei boarded the ferry and said this. After speaking, he said to himself: "Besides, I told Cai Fengfei at home, 'As husband and wife, we must abide by the law of husband and wife. Now I

If we are going to lead the army on an expedition, my wife will inevitably accompany the army, and I have no way to stop it. However, we are husband and wife at home, and we are monarch and subject when we go out. I hope you will keep this in mind, and be careful to abide by military disciplines at all times. If you violate it, military laws will be followed. Madam, please bear this in mind.

, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said.'”

Of course Cai Fengfei knew these disciplines. After hearing Liu Cong's permission to act, he was only excited. He didn't think much about it, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
