It is imperative to join forces with Lu Bu, but even if you want to marry, Jia Xu cannot be the candidate, otherwise Lu Bu would be so angry that he would tear Jia Xu...

Moreover, Lu Bu has a high opinion of himself. Before Chen Mang showed his strength, it was impossible for Lu Bu to look at him with a direct look.

So, after stabilizing the situation in Nanyang and Wancheng, Chen Mang immediately raised 50,000 troops and invaded Huainan with Zhang Xiu as the vanguard.

At this time, Yuan Shu was no longer the same as before. After being defeated by Cao Cao's coalition, he became depressed. After fleeing back to Huainan, he only cared about enjoyment. His soldiers were separated from him. The former army of 500,000 was now less than 100,000.

Until the army was at the city, Yuan Shu thought that it was Zhang Xiu's attack, and wanted to use money and grain to buy Zhang Xiu and ask him to return to Wancheng.

Chen Mang smiled and accepted the money and food sent by Yuan Shu, and then ordered Zhang Xiu to continue to attack the city.

Only then did Yuan Shu feel something was wrong, so he quickly sent his general Ji Ling to lead his troops to fight.

Outside Shouchun City.

Ji Ling rode on the horse, carried a three-pointed and two-edged sword in his hand, and looked at the two armies.

At the front was the majestic and arrogant Zhang Xiu. Behind him were tidy and arranged with ten thousand soldiers with neat looks and a sword.

Looking at the loose and unwarranted subordinates behind him, a wave of yellow sand rolled over by. The general's intuition told him that he was at the end of his journey, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiu had already taken down the heavy responsibility of commanding tens of thousands of people at this time. He felt relaxed. He pointed the spear in his hand with great enthusiasm and shouted: "Ji Ling, put down his weapons and surrender quickly! My lord is generous and can spare your life and let you continue to stay in the army to serve!"

Ji Ling shouted angrily: "Don't say too much! Zhang Xiu, come and take your time!"

After the thunderous sound, Ji Ling burst out with a shocking momentum, driving the war horse under his crotch toward Zhang Xiu!

Zhang Xiu urged him to step forward, and the tiger-headed gold spear in his hand poked out, flashing countless gun points like a hundred birds facing the phoenix, stabbing towards Ji Ling!

Ji Ling waved his hands, and a three-meter-long sword aura fell towards the gun shadow, instantly sweeping the bird-like gun point.

The two missed the horse. After one round, they turned their heads and charged again at the other side.

On the battlefield, sword energy was scattered, trying to tear the earth apart, but the gun shadow was like a dragon, as if it was about to rush into the sky.

After thirty rounds, the battle was not decided.

Chen Mang sat at the horse and watched the two fight, and couldn't help but complain: "I always feel that this kind of fight is a bit stupid. If I continue to fight like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to have lunch."

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Lord, they are still in the stage of temptation with each other and are about to take real skills."

Huang Zhong's voice came to an end, Zhang Xiu and Ji Ling stopped charging, and flexibly controlled the horse under his crotch to move around and start fighting in close combat.

Zhang Xiu's power of a spear pierced a hole in the city wall behind Ji Ling. Ji Ling flashed sideways, and a shocking sword slashed out, plowing the earth into a deep ditch that was ten feet wide.

The moment the horse passed by, Zhang Xiu turned around and shot the horse, and the phoenix figure condensed from the internal energy flew out of the gun. The phoenix sounded, and with a blood-red killing aura, attacked behind Ji Ling!

"Fengming Qishan!"

Ji Ling seemed to have eyes behind her back, and infinite power burst out from her body. The energy in her body condensed on the blade. A white light flashed, turning around and slashing at the phoenix that was attacking her!

"Sweep the thousands of troops!"

A sword shadow of ten feet large appeared out of nowhere and swept out towards the phoenix. The sword shadow hit the phoenix and made a deafening sound.

Chen Mang's eyes lit up: "The true meaning of martial arts!"

After a loud bang, a burst of smoke and dust that shook the sky and the sun spread out. Ji Ling and the mount under his crotch were already split into pieces and died on the spot.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong took off the bow and arrow from the horse's back without hesitation, and the internal energy condensed on the arrow. After a buzzing sound, the arrow rotated and shot rapidly towards the tall city gate ahead.

With a loud bang, the entire city gate was blown to pieces, and the middle gate of Shouchun City was opened in an instant.

"kill!"

With Zhang Xiu's order, the five thousand vanguard troops behind him rushed into Shouchun City with him, and cleaned up the soldiers who were fighting stubbornly like chopping melons and vegetables.

Chen Mang looked at Huang Zhong curiously and asked, "General Huang, is there a city gate in the world that can block your arrow?"

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "If it were just a city gate, of course it would be impossible to resist the arrow of the last general. However, when the two armies were facing each other, the power of the soldiers guarding the city was covered by the city walls. Even if I fired ten arrows, it would be difficult to shake the gate defended by thousands of elite troops."

"This time Yuan Shu's soldiers had no intention of fighting, so the general had the opportunity to show his bad luck."

After hearing this, Chen Mang nodded and roughly measured the power of Huang Zhong's archery technique. It was not as powerful as the attack, but if it was used to conduct sneak attacks, few people in the world could dodge.

One hour later, the street fighting in Shouchun City came to an end.

Chen Mang sent Zhuge Liang and Zilong to open the warehouse to release grain to help the people in the city. He came to Yuan Shu's palace and took over Yuan Shu's property.

Looking at the magnificent palace and the dragon chaise made of gold, Chen Mang tsk a few times and sat on the dragon chaise: "It's so cold that it's not comfortable at all. I don't know if I have a cushion. Yuan Shu really will cause trouble for himself."

At this time, Zhang Xiu came back excitedly and replied to Chen Mang: "Report to the lord, the last general has captured Yuan Shu alive, and he is taken into the side hall to wait for the lord to leave."

Chen Mang said: "It's too wasteful to kill him. Let the Yuan family use grain to redeem people. The Yuan family's legitimate son is worth at least 100,000 stones of grain. This matter is left to Mr. Wenhe. You go to the treasury to inform him."

"The last general takes the order."

Zhang Xiu nodded and then went to Jia Xu to inform him about the matter.

After a while, Jia Xu walked in with excitement: "Lord, the jade seal of the kingdom has been found, and it will be hidden on Yuan Shu's son!" As he said that, he handed a yellow cloth bag to Chen Mang.

Chen Mang opened the bag and saw the words "After being ordered by heaven, I will live forever" engraved on it. He held the jade seal in his hand and played with it. In an instant, he noticed a dragon energy falling from the sky and entering his body.

In Jia Xu's view, Chen Mang, who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, suddenly became majestic and had a faint sense of emperor!

Just when he was happy, Chen Mang suddenly took out a handful of walnuts from his sleeve and placed them on the table, picked up the imperial seal and smashed it on the walnuts.

A "click" sound of walnuts shattering.

Jia Xu immediately took a deep breath, stared at the jade seal in Chen Mang's hand with fear, feeling that his heart and liver seemed to be cracked with the walnut.

Seeing that his mouth was so funny, Chen Mang couldn't help but laugh slightly, pinched a walnut kernel, and accurately popped it into his mouth.
