When dusk was falling, Gongsun Xu walked out of the Wounded Barracks. He raised his head and looked at the cold stars in the sky, then raised his right hand to rub his somewhat sore nose — — For the past half hour, he had been in the Wounded Barracks paying his respects to the wounded soldiers. All he could smell was a different stench of blood, and suddenly inhaling the night air was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Today, in the evening, Gongsun Xu gave the order to attack the Henei County, and only stopped at dusk. Since Gongsun Xu had already decided to weaken Cao Cao's strength and let him go, he did not let his troops go all out. Most of the time, he only went on a probing offense, and after a day of lively but not intense battles, Gongsun Xu's subordinates lost around 600 to 700 people, and Cao Cao's subordinates lost less than 500 people.

Gongsun Xu yawned lightly, and said while walking: "Go back, Zi Long will do everything perfectly well."

As long as Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Xu out to war, he would be happy to do such trivial and important things as setting up camp, defending camp, patrolling at night, and so on.

The Wounded Barracks was located in the middle of the troop, and was only about four to five hundred steps away from Gongsun Xu's camp. On the short road, they met with three to four groups of patrolling soldiers.

When Gongsun Xu returned to the tent, just as he was about to get someone to wash up, Mo Bingmei suddenly walked in quickly.

Gongsun Xu smiled and asked: Is there any good news?

"En!" Mo Bingmei nodded his head, and took out a letter from his sleeves, and handed it over, "Yesterday, Qinghe County's side had an important event, take a look for yourself, my men just came over quickly from Qinghe County, if there are no accidents, Marquis Jin will quickly send people to deliver the good news."

Gongsun Xu hurriedly received the letter and opened it to read. With just a glance, he exclaimed, "Nine Region Cauldron! There's actually a Nine Prefectures Cauldron? "

"Of course!" Mo Bingmei rolled his eyes and mocked: "Outsiders say that Gongsun Zimin is an expert in both martial arts and literature. Could it be that he doesn't even know about Da Yu forging the Nine Continents Cauldron?"

Ever since they had interacted, even though Mo Bingmei had not reached the last step, Mo Bingmei had always been very relaxed and casual when facing Gongsun Xu, this kind of harmless ridicule would often happen. Gongsun Xu was willing to bear with it, and would often tell Mo Bingmei a few jokes, which would enhance the relationship between the two of them.

Gongsun Xu did not admit defeat and nodded: "Of course I know about the Nine Continent Cauldron! Only, I never thought that it would actually exist! "

Mo Bingmei lightly snorted, she could not be bothered to continue arguing with Gongsun Xu. She knew that if she were to continue arguing with him on this issue, she would be rendered speechless by his cunning words sooner or later.

Gongsun Xu laughed, and once again read the contents of the letter.

This letter was very long and detailed, explained everything that happened after the Jizhou Cauldron was unearthed, even the conversations between Gongsun Zan, Guan Jing, Yuan Shao, Ju Shou and the rest were written inside.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xu could not help but exclaim, "I never thought that the Nine Prefectures' Cauldron would have such a high status in the hearts of the people!"

Mo Bingmei chuckled: "Of course! The Nine Prefectures Cauldron was forged by Da Yu and has always been viewed as the Empire's divine artifact. Its position is even equal to the Imperial Jade Seal! "

He knew that the Imperial Jade Seal was currently in Yuan Shu's hands, but for the time being, he did not have any thoughts towards the Imperial Jade Seal.

At the end of the letter, it said that there were rumors flying all over Qinghe County City, causing riots to occur among the citizens and soldiers, Yuan Shao had no choice but to send out an army to suppress them, causing a lot of casualties. But now, the people in the city were all worried, and after Gongsun Xu finished reading the letter, he raised his head to look at Mo Bingmei, his eyes filled with curiosity.

The two of them were already very familiar with each other, Mo Bingmei immediately understood what Gongsun Xu meant and said softly: "That's right, the chaos in Qinghe County City is related to the people of my Mo Sect! Last night, they had spread rumors among the Qinghe County City s, trying to create a disturbance and find an opportunity to assassinate Yuan Shao. But you don't have to be disappointed with this matter. Right now, everyone in Qing He City is panicking, so breaking into the city is only a matter of time! "

Gongsun Xu kept the letter, and smiled: "You actually know how to comfort others, I never would have thought!"

Mo Bingmei was annoyed, he stared: "Who's there? You are the one! If it was someone else, I would not care about his death! "

Gongsun Xu smiled as he replied: "I was just joking, don't take it as the truth!"

Mo Bingmei snorted, he turned and sat down, then poured himself a cup of tea and slowly savored it, not bothering to pay attention to Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu walked to Mo Bingmei's side and sat down, then began to carefully think about the consequences of this matter.

Mo Bingmei drank half of his tea, seeing that Gongsun Xu was silent, he elbowed him and whispered: "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Gongsun Xu said as his brows knitted together, "Is the sudden appearance of the Nine Regions Cauldron in the world a good thing or a bad thing for it to land in my father's hands?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Mo Bingmei answered without thinking.

"Tell me about it!"

"Isn't that obvious?" Mo Bingmei was slightly stunned, then said softly: "Bronze Cauldron has always symbolized the authority of a king, and the Nine Prefectures Cauldron is something only the ruler has the right to possess. In the eyes of the world, those who possess the Cauldron of the Nine Prefectures, are all people that the heavens have ordained! You have always wanted to chase after the deer and chase after the world, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger with the help of the Jizhou Cauldron? What's more, the appearance of the Jizhou Cauldron will completely damage Yuan Shao's morale, it's even comparable to a huge army of a hundred thousand! "

Gongsun Xu sighed: "Although this is the logic, will it attract the other Marquis' attacks?"

Mo Bingmei hesitated for a moment and continued, "As long as we get rid of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao as soon as possible, no one would dare covet the Jizhou Cauldron! "I think you're being a little too careful. The Youzhou is now wealthier than the rest, and has sufficient soldiers and supplies. Marquis Jin and you are the strongest dukes in the world, if you're not forced into it, which dukedom would dare to invade?"

Gongsun Xu was startled upon hearing this. What Mo Bingmei had said made a lot of sense, as he had always been cautious and cautious, not wanting to be the first to be surrounded and attacked by others. But now, it seemed that he had been a little too careful! In the northeastern direction of Youzhou, Gongsun Du and his son had also complied with their agreement and started to attack the Korea. Without Gongsun Du's support, Wu Yan and the rest did not dare move as they were faced with Kurna's deterrence.

Gongsun Xu muttered to himself softly as he thought about this: "The rear part of the Youzhou has basically calmed down already. After returning to the sect this time and exterminating the Wuhuan of Liaodong, the north side will be completely safe and sound.

Mo Bingmei sneered: "I think you are still being too cautious. If you can simultaneously exterminate Cao Cao's body and sweep across Yanzhou, at that time, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and the Wanzhou Region and the Yanzhou will all be in your hands, who in the world can contend against them?"

Gongsun Xu carefully thought about the future that Mo Bingmei had described and could not help but feel moved, but after thinking about it, he still decided to follow the plan he had made. If he could take over five prefectures, it would be equivalent to taking up half of the world.

"Xiao Yi, invite Feng Xiao over!" Gongsun Xu was still hesitant after thinking about it, so he called out to the outside.

Gongsun Yi, who was guarding outside replied. Then, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps quickly disappearing into the distance.

Mo Bingmei stood up and said softly, "Since someone is coming, I will rest first."

"Wait!" Gongsun Xu pulled Mo Bingmei back, and laughed: "Feng Xiao is also not an outsider, there is no need to avoid him. I'll get someone to prepare something to eat. Eat a bit and then go rest. "

Mo Bingmei's heart warmed, he nodded and continued seated.

Gongsun Xu had just poured a cup of tea for Mo Bingmei when the voice of a guard came from outside: "Reporting to the Young Noble, Master Hou is anxious!"

Gongsun Xu looked at Mo Bingmei, his heart already had a plan, and he shouted: "Quickly bring it in!"

Just as Gongsun Xu finished speaking, a person walked in and knelt down to pay his respects: "Greetings, Young Noble!"

Gongsun Xu recognized that this person was a guard in front of Gongsun Zan, so he went forward to help him up, and asked: "Is father well?"

"Master Hou, everything is fine!" Young Master, this is the Marquis' letter! "

Gongsun Xu took the letter and let the guard rest, then he quickly opened it.

In the letter, Gongsun Zan also described in detail what happened after the appearance of the Jizhou Cauldron. The contents of the letter were similar to the letter that Mo Bingmei had brought with him. At the end of the letter, Gongsun Zan requested Gongsun Xu to attack Cao Cao with all his might, to eliminate Cao Cao at the hands of the Henei County.

Gongsun Xu raised the letter in his hand and smiled to Mo Bingmei: "My father thinks the same as you!"

Mo Bingmei complacently raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

Then, Guo Jia's voice came from outside: "Children, why are you disturbing Qing Meng in the middle of the night? If there is nothing important to do, you and I will not be finished! "

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia had already walked in. Seeing that Mo Bingmei was seated, the casual look on his face quickly disappeared as he cupped his hands towards Mo Bingmei and greeted: "So Mo Xiaoniangzi is here too, I apologize for my rudeness!"

Mo Bingmei knew that Guo Jia was different from the others, and quickly returned the greeting: "Officer Guo is being too courteous, please take a seat!"

"Alright, alright, we're all on the same side. Why are you being so polite?" Gongsun Xu waved his hands impatiently and gave the letter to Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, take a look at this first!"

After reading the letter, he nodded his head: "Father-in-law has to be blessed by the heavens to have the Jizhou Cauldron, then he will definitely receive more support. I agree with Father-in-law's intentions, this battle plan should be changed, go back and attack Cao Cao Cao, see if we can take advantage of the situation and take down the Yanzhou!"
