That's right, Henei County's backyard.

Gongsun Xu stood in the middle of the garden with his hands behind his back, looking at the luxuriant purple garden, but if one looked carefully, they would see that his eyes were a little messy and filled with worry, obviously not thinking about the beautiful scenery at all.

"How are their injuries?" Gongsun Xu walked over quickly and asked anxiously.

The two doctors looked at each other, and the older one said softly: "Reporting to General, General Zhang He's injuries are not very serious. After recuperating carefully for a month, he should be completely healed.

Gongsun Xu's face darkened, and said with a heavy voice. "There's no saving him anymore?"

"If we invite Master here, there should be a slight chance of survival!"

These two doctors were both disciples that Hua Tuo had accepted in the Qiao County. Upon learning that their benefactor was preparing to stay in the Youzhou, they rushed over, and were immediately hired by Gongsun Xu as chaperone. This was their first time accompanying an expedition to the Jizhou. Although the medical skills of the two of them were far from Hua Tuo's, they could still be considered good doctors. They had no idea what happened to Shan Meng's injuries, which showed just how serious his injuries were.

"Someone, come!" Gongsun Xu shouted out without hesitation.

"What orders do you have for me, Young Master?" Gongsun Yi ran in quickly from the crescent gate in the garden and cupped his fists as he asked.

"Flying pigeon, send a message to Godly Doctor Hua, ask him to come quickly and treat Shan Meng's injuries!"

"Here!" Gongsun Yi responded and quickly left the garden, preparing to release the carrier pigeon.

When Gongsun Yi was about to leave the crescent gate, Gongsun Xu called out to him again, instructing: "To ensure that the letter reaches the Godly Doctor Hua, send someone back to the Ji County quickly to deliver the letter!"

This message sounded very high-end and fast, but most of the time it could only be used in short distance communications, otherwise, it would very likely cause an accident. The Han Dynasty was not comparable to the later generations, where all kinds of fierce birds could be found everywhere, and the chances of the messenger pigeons being eaten was very high. Therefore, Gongsun Xu ordered his men to deliver the letters quickly in case of any accidents to the carrier pigeons.

Mo Bingmei walked in front of Gongsun Xu and said apologetically: "Back then when I left the Qinghe County, I left in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring a gyrfalcon over.

"No worries!" Gongsun Xu laughed and said softly: "However, you did remind me that after I return to the Ji County this time, I will send people to capture Hai Dongqing. At that time, I will still need your people to help me train."

Mo Bingmei laughed indifferently: "It's nothing! Aren't you going to go in and see Shan Meng and Zhang He? "

"No need!" Gongsun Xu shook his head and sighed: "General Zhang originally had guilt because of his defeat, let's look at him again when we get back."

Two hours ago, Zhang He brought less than two thousand people back to the Henei County, and when they saw Gongsun Xu, they immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. Gongsun Xu asked the others before he found out that Zhang He was ambushed while chasing Cao Cao Cao and lost more than half of his men. Zhang He was also heavily injured, and had to grind his teeth as he brought the veterans back.

Gongsun Xu was furious at the time, but he did not punish Zhang He, because even he did not expect Cao Cao to actually dare to set up an ambush while he was rushing to escape! Ever since his confrontation with Cao Cao, Gongsun Xu had not realised that Cao Cao was very outstanding, but this matter had actually awakened him. The famous Cao Cao in the history books was indeed not an easy person! Cao Cao Cao's previous mediocre performance was because he lacked the strength to defend the city. Cao Cao could only defend the city and did not have the strength to fight back. Right now, he was ambushing Zhang He whenever he had the chance. This was the Cao Cao that Gongsun Xu was familiar with from the books.

Mo Bingmei hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not speak up to comfort Gongsun Xu, because she knew that his mental fortitude far surpassed hers.

At this time, Zhang Chunhua moved closer to Mo Bingmei, timidly glanced at Gongsun Xu, and said softly: "Master, disciple wants to go home and see father."

Last night, Mo Bingmei personally went to the Zhang Family to protect Zhang Chunhua, but she did not say anything about Zhang Wang's death, as she was afraid that this little disciple would hurt his body and mind if he could not accept this grievous news. Faced with Zhang Chunhua's request, Mo Bingmei did not know how to respond. He could only look at Gongsun Xu for help.

Gongsun Xu squatted down, and looked at Zhang Chunhua as he asked in an amiable manner, "Little girl, do you know Sima Yi?"

When he asked this question, Gongsun Xu had a very strange feeling in his heart. In all of history, this little girl who was six or seven years old had married Sima Yi, but now that Sima Yi's soul had returned to the Yellow Springs and this little girl had become Mo Bingmei's disciple, who knew what her future would be like?

"Sima Yi?" Zhang Chunhua was a little stunned, and casually replied: "He has visited father a few times, and I have met him once. Great General, what are you asking him for? "

"General?" Gongsun Xu laughed and patted Zhang Chunhua's little head and said gently: "You should change your name. Just call me En, just call me grandmaster!"

"What is grandteacher?" Zhang Chunhua asked curiously.

Mo Bingmei was stunned for a moment before she realized the mystery behind the name. She rolled her eyes at Gongsun Xu, but was actually very happy in her heart.

"Uh," Gongsun Xu scratched his head, and said with a smile. "Grand Master is your master's husband, do you understand?"

Zhang Chunhua's eyes lit up, and asked softly: "Is Master the grandteacher's wife?"

"Not yet, but soon!" Gongsun Xu did not even finish his sentence, he was already jumping and shouting.

"Why are you talking to a child about this?" Mo Bingmei quickly retracted his leg and looked at Gongsun Xu unhappily.

Zhang Chunhua burst out in laughter before hurriedly holding back his laughter as he asked, "Grand Master, you still have yet to say why you asked me if I know Sima Yi!"

"Oh, it's like this. Last night, your father and Sima Yi went to the Qinghe County to work together. Gongsun Xu's expression did not change as he gave his explanation. He felt slightly ashamed in his heart, he had actually lied to such a young girl.

Zhang Chunhua was half believing and half doubting as he turned his head to look at Mo Bingmei and asked: "Master, is it like this?"

Mo Bingmei was at a loss of what to do. She could not expose Gongsun Xu's lies, and she could not lie along with Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu continued, "Little girl, asking your father to work with Sima Yi is my order, but your master actually doesn't know about this! You know that I am a great general, and neither your father nor Sima Yi would dare to go against my orders! "

"But believed Gongsun Xu's words, and then he had a new question:" What do you want them to do?

"Your father and Sima Yi are both well-known figures in the Henei County, so it's not like you don't understand why your father would help them in the Qinghe County," Gongsun Xu said as he laughed involuntarily once more. He slapped his forehead and said, "Why am I talking to a little girl about this? You don't understand anyway!"

"Who said I don't understand?" Zhang Chunhua no longer seemed to be afraid of Gongsun Xu at the moment. He curled his lips and said: "My father and Sima Yi went to the Qinghe County City, so the Yuan Shao Army would know that the Henei County has fallen, and that their morale would be greatly damaged. Right? Humph! And you even put on an enigmatic look! "

"Aiyo, this little girl …" Gongsun Xu scratched his head, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.

"Okay, okay, what are you fighting with a child for?" Mo Bingmei rolled his eyes at Gongsun Xu, and asked sternly: "Chun Hua, you haven't practiced the sword today, right? Let's go, let's find a quiet place to train! "

Zhang Chunhua cupped his fists and said: "Yes, Master!"

Mo Bingmei reached out and grabbed Zhang Chunhua, then turned and walked towards the small bamboo forest in the northeast corner.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Chunhua turned around and smiled sweetly to Gongsun Xu: "Grand Master, see you later!"

"Oh, see you later!" Gongsun Xu was startled for a moment before he smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, a gloating voice came from behind him, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that you would be looked down upon by a little girl!"

Gongsun Xu turned around and asked: "Feng Xiao, when did you come?"

Guo Jia laughed as he walked over: "You've been here for quite a while! That little girl is really smart. If it wasn't for the fact that she is a girl, I would definitely take her in as my disciple! "

"Alright!" "He's boasting nonsense again!" Gongsun Xu waved his hand, and sneered: "You're so lazy, if you accepted a disciple, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

Guo Jia was immediately flabbergasted. "Heh! What did he just say? Although I am a bit lazy, but I am still very diligent when doing official business, right? "

Gongsun Xu sneered: "Why haven't I seen your diligence before?"

"That's because there's something wrong with your character. You only like to see the shortcomings of others!"

"Scram!" Learn less from me! "

"Are you going to bite me?"

"Hey, you bastard!" I said learn less from me! "

After chatting and laughing for a while, Gongsun Xu's depressed mood was greatly relieved. After he sat down on the stone chair with Guo Jia, he asked her about the situation in the city.

Guo Jia said with a stern expression, "When General Zi Long returned, he personally led the army to patrol the city. There were also heavy guards at several city gates, and now that the remnants of the Yuan Shao Army have completely disappeared, the citizens seem to be very calm. "Oh right, I have specially sent some people to the granary to prevent others from causing trouble."

Gongsun Xu nodded in satisfaction, he thought for a while and asked: "Have you counted the amount of food?"

"I burned quite a lot of food yesterday. That granary is still in ruins. It will probably take two days for me to figure it out."

"I can't wait!" Gongsun Xu shook his head, and said solemnly: "I am preparing to lead the great army to return to the Qinghe County City today, what do you think I should do before leaving?"
