When Liu Biao heard that Chen Mang and Sun Ce jointly attacked Jiangxia, he immediately sent his subordinate general Wen Pin to lead 30,000 troops to reinforce.

Unfortunately, as soon as the army left Nanjun, it encountered Huang Zhong's sniper. Wen Pin walked under Huang Zhong for less than ten rounds, and was almost cut off by Huang Zhong's head with a knife, left five thousand soldiers behind, and fled back to Nanjun in a panic.

At this moment, the news of Jiang Xia's loss reached Liu Biao's ears, which made him angry and turned his back on the spot.

As soon as Jiang Xia was lost, Liu Biao left only the southern county north of the Yangtze River, leading the four counties in Jingnan. Under severe injuries, he was unable to launch a counterattack. He had no other way except cursing Chen Mang and Sun Ce.

With the help of Huang Chengyan and others, Chen Mang quickly digested Jiangxia's territory and asked them to be responsible for appeaseing the local people and large families, and wanted to make their territory more stable before Cao Cao's troops attacked.

On the other hand, the news that Chen Mang took down Jiangxia reached Xuzhou on the same day.

Under the joint persuasion of Chen Gong and Jia Xu, Lu Bu finally agreed to form an alliance with Chen Mang and betrothed his daughter to Zilong.

A few days later, Lu Bu disguised himself and escorted his daughter with a team of personal soldiers to Shouchun from Xia Pi to meet Chen Mang, a new prince who was rising like a comet.

When Chen Mang heard that Lu Bu was coming in person, he immediately became interested. He wanted to see if his Three Kingdoms called Father could defeat Lu Bu, the destructive father of the Three Kingdoms. So he happily welcomed Lu Bu and others in the Shouchun Palace.

From afar, Chen Mang saw a team of people walking into the palace gate. The leader was in his forties, seven feet tall, with a face that looked like pink, with beards under his cheeks, his sword eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his handsome eyes were clear.

Wearing a three-pointed purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red cotton flower robe, a beast-faced chain armor with his head, a bow and arrow, holding a painting halberd in his hand, sitting down with a red rabbit horse.

It is indeed Lu Bu among people and Red Rabbit among horses!

Seeing Lu Bu's coquettish outfit, Chen Mang couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Did you tell me that this is disguising? The blind man can recognize that this is Lu Bu!

Chen Mang sighed slightly, feeling that Lu Bu's whereabouts had been exposed? Is Cao Cao's plan incomplete? He sorted out his expression and greeted him, "Mr. Wen? He has long admired his name? He is like thunder. I will meet him today? Mang has the blessing of three lives!"

Lu Bu had already come down from the Red Rabbit Horse at this time and laughed: "I'll be a family in the future? You don't have to be polite to Farah! Do you really want to talk about it? Some family would like to thank you for giving me a good son-in-law!"

Chen Mang glanced at Zilong with a smile, then looked at the pretty girl following him. Seeing that the two of them were already familiar, he nodded with satisfaction? He gave in: "The banquet is ready? Please come in Wenhou."

Lu Bu walked into the palace with a smile, and everyone sat down with guests and tasted the wine and dishes prepared in advance by Chen Mang.

Lu Bu was eating the banquet in Chen Mang's palace and sighed: "I only realized that Lu had lived in vain after tasting this delicious wine today. If I could eat such delicious wine every day? Lu would not be in vain."

Chen Mang smiled and said, "Why should Mr. Wen be short of heroic spirit? Your martial arts are unparalleled in the world? If you never meet an opponent on the battlefield, you will be remembered forever."

Lu Bu smiled proudly: "When it comes to martial arts, a certain family believes that there is no rival in the world, and now he is regarded as a famous general, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? I see all those who put on bids and sell their first place? I think of Hulao Pass back then..."

Looking at Lu Bu talking? Chen Mang showed a smile on his face, thinking that as long as I pretended that I didn't understand, you shouldn't think of leaving the chef from me...

Under Chen Mang's praise, Lu Bu drank one cup after another, and was urged by Chen Mang to play with his sword. Finally, he fell to the ground with no idea of ​​the situation, and was carried by his subordinates into the room prepared in advance by Chen Mang.

At this time, only Chen Mang, Jia Xu and others were left in the palace.

As the banquet was removed, Chen Mang also asked about the serious matter and said to Jia Xu: "What is the situation in Xuzhou?"

Jia Xu said: "Lu Bu's army was distorted. He relied on his past power and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to support him, and he had already shown signs of defeat. On the other hand, Liu Bei's Xiao Pei had strict military discipline and received assistance from Cao Cao, which was very likely to be ascended to heaven."

Chen Mang nodded slightly: "After all, Lu Bu is the best in the world. With the fact that he is in the trap, he can restrain Liu Bei and not cause trouble for us even if he is not good. Recently, I received a tip from a spy. Cao Cao had already started to mobilize food and grass and troops. He should have seen us grow bigger and he couldn't sit steadily."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Cao Cao's goal should be Nanyang. As long as he takes Nanyang, the hinterland of the Central Plains will be as stable as Mount Tai. However, in Xu's opinion, Cao's army should be divided into multiple troops and attack Shouchun, Wancheng, and Xiling respectively, so that we can lose sight of one thing."

Chen Mang nodded: "Cao Cao has many military generals, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and others can all stand alone. Even if we know his strategy, we cannot make effective targets. We can only use soldiers to block the water and cover the soil."

Zhuge Liang said on the side: "Lord, General Huang Zhong is extremely brave and can be stationed with General Zhang Xiu to guard Jincheng and Wancheng respectively. These two places will be preserved, and Nanyang can be saved."

Chen Mang agreed: "Let General Huang Zhong go to Wancheng, Wenhe will help General Zhang Xiu guard the city of Chen. Kong Ming and Zilong stay in Shouchun and form a horn with Lu Bu. I will sit in Jiangxia and support you depending on the situation."

After discussing specific matters such as food and grass and military distribution, everyone went back to rest.

On the second day, under the auspices of Chen Mang, Zilong and Lu Lingqi got married, and the Chen-Lu Alliance was officially reached.

Lu Bu was drunk again, until Chen Gong sent a letter saying that Liu Bei had something strange in Xiaopei, so he reluctantly left Shouchun. Before leaving, he agreed to see his daughter again after the New Year.

Chen Mang led his troops to Pingchun that day and guarded the entrance of Jiangxia County, trying to block Cao's army outside Jiangxia.

After Chen Mang's army set up camp, another spy immediately reported that a team of soldiers came towards Pingchun. The number of people was roughly estimated to be as high as 30,000.

Chen Mang only brought 800 guard camps and 3,000 soldiers, but was not afraid of Cao Cao's 30,000 troops.

Pingchun is in Xinyang today. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and the hills and rivers are intersecting, and the landform is complex, which is very suitable for defense and ambushing.

Not to mention a mere 300,000 soldiers, even if there are 300,000...

Well, then Chen Mang will definitely apply oil to the soles of his feet.

How terrifying is the military power of the 300,000 army? Even if it is suppressed, it can crush his soldiers. This is a big fuck.

Just as Chen Mang was ready to ambush, a faint mist rose from the mountains and spread out in a blink of an eye, causing the visual distance to be reduced to twenty meters in an instant, and there was still a tendency to continue to shrink.

At the same time, Chen Mang felt a fusion of mental power and the celestial phenomena, and instantly realized that this was a civil servant in Cao's army who not only saw through his ambush, but also wanted to cheat and sneak attack!
