The physician treated Madam Cai and prescribed her medicine.
Madam Cai was suffering from a chronic disease that was not easy to treat. Her body was weak and needed to be nursed back to health. In the end, when the moth bandits returned to Yingchuan, she was frightened. As a result, her body was even worse.
After taking a pill to calm her nerves and nourish her qi, Mrs. Cai had already fallen asleep.
Zhou Cang was also quite good at handling matters. He arranged for an ox cart and covered it with animal skin and silk blankets so that Madam Cai could sleep comfortably on the ox cart.
At this moment, in the tents around the river bank.
Zhou Cheng was already sweating profusely. Although he was only 15 years old and Xun Cai was only 14 years old, Zhou Cheng was not willing to wait.
Xun Cai didn't resist. He only said," Please take pity on me, General." Then, he endured the pain and welcomed Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng was more than two meters tall, while Xun Cai was only fourteen years old and less than 1.6 meters tall.
In front of Zhou Cheng, Xun Cai looked petite.
After they were husband and wife, Zhou Cheng hugged Xun Cai to rest. Xun Cai also had no strength left. He closed his eyes and lay in Zhou Cheng's strong arms.
She had never thought that she would become a married woman so early.
Of course, she knew that the man beside her was her husband, and she would never abandon him in this life.
Although Zhou Cheng was a traitor, his action of 'replacing the head with hair' had indeed touched her.
It was very rare for a man to think of a plan for both sides.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng was looking at Xun Cai.
Xun Cai was very beautiful, but what Zhou Cheng admired more was not only her beauty, but also her filial piety and character.
Today's matter, whether it was 'sacrificing himself to save his mother' or 'replacing his head with his hair', would become a much-told story.
In this era, fame was very important.
Chen Gong abandoned his official position and followed Cao Cao because Cao Cao offered the Seven Stars Saber to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
After that, because of Cao Cao's words,'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me', he abandoned Cao Cao and became irreconcilable with him.
Taishi Ci, on the other hand, rode alone to save Kong Rong of the North Sea because Kong Rong was taking care of his mother.
The ancients placed great importance on benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, honesty, fraternity, and tolerance.
Although Zhou Cheng was a moth thief and was not tolerated by the court and soldiers, he also needed fame.
From Xun Cai, Zhou Cheng could gain quite a bit of fame. Although it was still difficult to attract famous people from aristocratic families to join him, the Dog Butchers and Heroes among the people might consider Zhou Cheng.
Moreover, Xun Cai was also very beautiful. No matter what, he would not lose out.
Zhou Cheng raised his hand and used his rough fingers to gently scratch Xun Cai's cheek. He said,""You are my wife, and your mother is my kin. Now that the war is about to start, it is not safe for mother to stay here. It is better for her to cross the river with me first. When we reach Jizhou, I will find an opportunity to send her back to the Xun family in Yingchuan.”
Xun Cai nodded. She thought so too."It's all up to husband's arrangements."
……
What should come would still come.
Huangfu Song's army finally arrived at the ferry.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng's elite troops had already crossed the Yellow River.
At the ferry, there were still a large number of old and weak people waiting in line for the ferry.
There were only a few boats, and there were only a few horses that could cross the river at a time. However, there were many people who wanted to survive.
He Man came to Zhou Cheng's side and said,"Canal Marshal, the ferry has been filled with kerosene.”
In order to prevent the ferry from falling into the hands of the government troops, Zhou Cheng had already sent people to set fire to the ferry at any time.
As for the old, weak, women, and children who had not crossed the river, Zhou Cheng could not care less.
If they fell into Huangfu Song's hands and were eventually killed by him, it would be the Imperial Court's unkindness and had nothing to do with Zhou Cheng.
Xun Cai, who was in Zhou Cheng's arms, followed his husband's gaze and looked across the river.
"The government troops are here!"
"The government troops are here!"
A black line appeared on the plains in the distance. The black line approached them very quickly, getting closer and closer to them.
It was the cavalry of the government army, and Cao Cao was in charge of commanding it.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others were left by Huangfu Song's side.
A defeated general was not brave enough. Liu Bei had lost the battle at the ferry, so after returning to Huangfu Song's side, he did not take the initiative to fight.
When Cao Cao heard that the main force of the moth bandits had already crossed the river, he naturally chased after them excitedly and prepared to start a massacre.
"Let me board!"
"Please, let me board the ship!"
"The soldiers are here!"
In order to survive, the old, the weak, women, and children fought crazily for seats on the ferry.
However, when they were fighting for it, they only heard a thud! Thud! The sound of water falling into the water.
However, the boatman and soldiers on the boat jumped into the water.
As they jumped into the water, the ferry caught fire.
There was a ferry waiting for them in the middle of the river. After they boarded the boat, the ferry left completely.
Zhou Cheng could not learn from Liu Bei, and he did not want to learn from Liu Bei either. The difficulty of retreating with a group of old, weak, women, and children was really a matter of attitude.
He had tried his best. He would take what he could, but he couldn't do anything about what he couldn't.
The rest were up to fate.
At this moment, Cao Cao led his cavalry to the ferry and killed everyone he saw. The old, weak, women, and children fled in all directions, jumped into the water, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. However, none of them could escape the fate of death.
Corpses floated on the river, and blood flowed like a river.
Nearly 70,000 old, weak, women, and children were slaughtered by the government troops.
The Yellow Turban soldiers led by Zhou Cheng watched the massacre from the other side of the river.
Who would dare to surrender in the future?
