On the sixth day after the end of the combat meeting, that is, on the third day of October in the ninth year of Jian'an, Liu Cong took his wife Cai Fengfei, as well as four maids in military uniforms, and his personal servant Lai Fatzi Liang Zhuer Ma Zhu'er, crossed the Han River and came to the dock on the north shore.

At this time, the last group of men and horses to participate in the reconquest were crossing the river, and they saw more than 30 Xiangjiang naval division ships, coming and going on the surface of the Xiangjiang River, transporting the Jingzhou soldiers on the south bank to the dock on the north bank.

At this time, it is the season of late autumn and early winter, and a round of bright sun hangs high in the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth with splendor.

The weather was not hot, but a thin layer of light mist was shrouded in the river, shrouding the soldiers, grass, carts, horses, boats, and boats on both sides of the river in the mist, showing a bit of mystery.

Liu Cong was wearing bronze beast chain mail, wearing a sword given by the emperor at his waist, standing majestically at Gaofu, looking at the ships coming and going on the river, his heart surged with incomparable pride, this pride urged his mood, and he thought to himself: "Finally began to compete with Cao Cao's old thief." It's a pity that the old thief was not there! However, there is no hurry, there is time. Sooner or later, I will have to fight Cao Cao's old thief in person. Hmph, who doesn't want to win? Cao Cao was in Hebei at this time with wishful thinking, planning to clean up Yuan Shao's forces, and then come over to occupy Jiangnan, and then replace the Han family. Hmph, it depends on whether the sword in my hand allows it! ”

Liu Cong thought of this and turned his face to look at the people behind him, only to see that the elite soldiers of Jingzhou who had crossed the river, according to the plan, under the leadership of the generals from all walks of life, stepped on the road in an orderly manner and drove towards the original position.

The team marched majestically, without the sound of hustle and bustle, and the autumn wind began to rise, urging the military flag hunting in the team, waving in the wind. The scout horses passed the news back and forth, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the shoulders of the soldiers reflected the sunlight from time to time, flashing with a dazzling white light.

Liu Cong saw that the team was pulling out in an orderly manner, and his heart gradually calmed down, so he ordered Liang Zhu'er: "Get on the horse!" Sail with the brigade to Yunxia Mountain. ”

Ma Gong'er heard the order, and immediately led Liu Cong's war horse, Liu Cong was just about to get on the horse, and turned his face to see his wife Cai Yunfei pulling the reins of a spotted Mongolian dwarf mare, stepping on the stirrup, shrugging his body, sitting lightly on the horse's back, and then turning the horse's head, looking at Liu Cong, ready to let go of Liu Cong's horse team, and then he moved forward.

Liu Cong couldn't help shouting when he saw it: "It's a good rider!" Unexpectedly, Mrs. is a woman! Women don't let their eyebrows go. ”

The shouting was not loud, I don't know if Cai Fengfei heard it, when Liu Cong looked at Cai Fengfei carefully, he saw that Cai Fengfei was also dressed in a military uniform, with a red veil on his head to entangle his hair, wearing a scarlet cloak, a pair of deerskin combat boots, and a short sword hanging from his waist, with a long orange tassel hanging down the handle, which drooped down to the horse's belly. Behind him were four domestic maids, all of whom were wearing short swords and military uniforms.

When Liu Cong looked into the distance, he saw Cai Yunfei and the four women behind him, standing in the middle of this military brigade, as if they were in the low bushes all over the mountains, with five pomegranate flowers blooming, although they were beautiful and eye-catching, they were very incongruous. Liu Cong scolded in his heart: "Cai Fengfei, you bastard!" Don't let you follow, you're biased! Do you think you were asked to come over and be a model on the battlefield? Get the hell out of here! ”

Liu Cong scolded that he knew that he couldn't have a seizure, so he gave Liang Zhu'er a look and whispered: "In the past, I sent a message to my wife and ordered her to take the maid to return home immediately with the off-duty boat." If you don't see my orders, you are not allowed to cross the Xiangjiang River for a single step! ”

Liang Zhu'er looked at Liu Cong in surprise, and just sang: "Wow! I don't know why Liu Cong made such a fire, but he forgot to leave.

When Liu Cong saw it, he flew up and kicked him down: "Don't go quickly!" ”

Liang Zhu'er was like a rabbit, got up and ran to Cai Fengfei with a smoke, grabbed Cai Fengfei's mount zebra bridle with one hand, and stammered Liu Cong's message to Cai Fengfei.

Cai Fengfei was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up at Liu Cong here, waiting for Liu Cong to express his meaning to himself.

Liu Cong stared at Cai Fengfei coldly here, seeing that Cai Fengfei didn't move, he held the scabbard with one hand, and pumped the emperor's sword twice with the other, and then put the sword into the scabbard, pointed his right hand in the direction of Xiangyang, and stomped the ground under his feet twice, which meant that Cai Fengfei rolled quickly.

Cai Fengfei didn't dare to inquire anymore, so he had to take the maid to the shore in confusion and board the boat to go 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: "Husband, I don't know what year and month I will come back." The battlefield is full of dangers, and I really can't rest assured. Besides, less than two months after being married, they separated like this, which is too much of a loss to the husband. There is no woman around to serve him, how can he live at home with peace of mind. It's better to go away from the old husband, so that there is a response. Thinking of this, he said: "The husband went to Jiangbei to fight, and there was no woman around to take care of him, and the slave and maid were really not at ease." Or otherwise? Speaking of this, he stared at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong knew what she meant as soon as he heard it, and asked casually, "What?" You say. ”

"If you don't want the slave and maid to go to Jiangbei with your husband, you can serve your husband and eat in the morning and evening."

Liu Cong didn't even think about it when he heard it, and simply replied: "No, no!" What kind of system does a woman's family follow the army! No way! ”

Cai Fengfei saw that Liu Cong was unwilling to be accommodating, and knew that it was difficult to persuade him, so he turned around and persuaded: "When the slave maid was in her mother's house, she really respected Sun Shangxiang, and devoted herself to learning from her to study and practice martial arts, and thought that when she became an adult, she would also be a heroine like Sun Shangxiang." Later, although he stopped halfway, he was not afraid of swords and saw a fight. The slave maid wants to haunt the battlefield with her husband, and the husband doesn't have to worry. I don't want to make a contribution, I just serve my husband day and night, and I also do my best to be a woman for my husband's national affairs. ”

In fact, Liu Cong knew Cai Fengfei's life experience, knew that she was not afraid of swords, and was not afraid of fighting, but she felt uncomfortable leading troops to fight with women. So after getting up and dressing up, he opened the door and walked out, leaving a sentence when he flashed: "There is no need to say anything about this matter, Madame cannot go with me on the expedition." It's set. I have something to go out to handle, please don't be long-winded. ”

Liu Cong said that he would hide the door and leave, and when he walked to the door, he was not considerate of Cai Fengfei's kindness, and muttered: "I know that you remember to do good things with me, but I don't have this idle thought." Hum! Besides, where can I still lack women! ”

muttered that he went away and went to the yamen to do errands.

When Liu Cong came back for dinner after dark, he saw Mrs. Cai sitting in her living room with a straight face, cold, and Cai Fengfei standing next to her, also full of unhappiness.

Liu Cong hurriedly came over to say hello, and then stood next to him and asked cautiously, "What do you have to say when Mom comes over?" ”

Mrs. Cai said simply: "Cong'er is going to Jiangbei to fight, and I will come to see you off on behalf of your father." There is nothing else to command, just leave you a sentence - to Jiangbei, you must take your daughter-in-law! That's what your dad said. If you don't bring it, don't go to Jiangbei. That's what your dad said, too. ”

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

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

Liu Cong's anger rose for a while, turned his face to look at Cai Fengfei, took a breath, and knew that this matter was irreversible, so he had to bow his head and go home. After entering the door, 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 diet and daily life, and the second reason was that he had been married for less than two months and was not pregnant. Husband went out this time, I don't know what year and month to come back, just come back safely, wouldn't it delay the opportunity to inherit the Liu family, "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", Cai Fengfei didn't want to let Liu Cong be an unfilial person.

Thinking of this, Cai Fengfei knew that he couldn't convince Liu Cong, and suddenly remembered Mrs. Cai: "Yes! Didn't my aunt urge my uncle to do the previous thing? Right! I went to my aunt. ”

So Cai Fengfei came to Mrs. Cai, and told his aunt about his heart with tears in his eyes. As soon as Cai Fengfei said this, his aunt Mrs. Cai was moved, and as soon as her aunt was moved, she thought about discussing Liu Biao, and then she changed her mind, feeling that she didn't need to say this matter to Liu Biao, so she decided: "I told him this little thing, does he dare not do it?" I don't have to decide anything else, in order to continue the incense, I will decide for him. ”

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

Liu Cong didn't dare to refute in the end, so he had to accept it in a low voice.

However, this kid has a plan in his heart: "I, Liu Cong, have a way to entertain you!" ”

No, on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, the method has been used. "The army has moved, the men and horses have basically crossed the river, there is no way, Madame go home."

Liu Cong sneered and watched Cai Feng fly onto the ferry, and said this. After speaking, he said to himself: "Let's talk about it, I said to Cai Fengfei at home, 'Since you and I are husband and wife, we must follow the way of husband and wife. Now I am going to lead the army into battle, and my wife is bound to move with the army, and I have no way to stop it. However, at home, they are husband and wife, and when they go out, they are monarchs and ministers, and Mrs. Wang keeps this in mind, and carefully abides by military discipline everywhere, and in case of violation, military law will be engaged. Madame, remember, don't be unpredictable. ’”

Of course, Cai Fengfei knew these disciplines, and when he heard Liu Cong allow him to act, he was only excited in his heart, where would he think more, so he agreed with his mouth.

Haha, who knew that just after crossing the Xiangjiang River, he stood on the shore for a meal, and was chased home by Liu Cong on a trumped-up charge. 033
