Chapter 15 Merger with Lu Bu
Early the next morning, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to the city of Wancheng to challenge, and Chen Mang hung up the battle card to avoid the battle.
Cao's army was first defeated by Chen Mang, and the camp was attacked last night and its morale was very low.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to order the soldiers to attack the city, but was persuaded by Xun You and others, and then he stopped the army.
That night, Cao Cao received the news that Yuan Hao attacked Xudu, and led his troops to Xudu overnight to return to the aid.
Chen Mang sent Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong to chase and kill the Cao army responsible for cutting off the rear, and killed three thousand Cao army, captured more than 5,000 people, winning a great victory.
At the same time, Liu Bei, who besieged Xia Pi, was afraid that Chen Mang would come to attack, so he quickly withdrew his troops and went back to guard the territory he had finally seized.
At this point, the Central Plains War, which took three days to involve all forces and dispatched more than 100,000 troops, was declared over, and the crisis in Nanyang County was completely lifted.
In Shouchun City, in a magnificent bedroom, Guo Jia opened his eyes quietly.
After looking around, he found himself lying on a narrow bed, with soreness all over his body and two bamboo boards tied to his legs.
Looking to the side, there was a narrow bed on the right, lying on it, Xu Chu was supported by a mat and leaning against the head of the bed. Chen Mang carefully fed him the medicine.
Seeing Guo Jia wake up, Chen Mang breathed a little relieved: "I finally woke up, I thought you couldn't wake up."
Guo Jia woke up for a long time, and only remembered that he had the memory of his previous memory being fainted by Chen Mang. However, after deducing the situation in his mind, he understood his current situation and sighed: "Meng De Gong was defeated..."
Chen Mang smiled and said, "I lost. This time he lost 40,000 troops. He was seriously injured and was attacked by Yuan Shao again. He could no longer provoke a war in a short time."
Guo Jia frowned slightly and said helplessly: "Yuan Shao is a villain who has been repeatedly, so I have advised Meng Degong to be on guard against him."
Chen Mang nodded: "Since you have woken up, there is nothing serious. If you have anything to do, call Hua Tuo? He is on duty in the next room." After that, he got up and walked out.
When Chen Mang left, Guo Jia asked Xu Chu: "General Zhongkang? Who was that person just now?"
Xu Chu said: "He is my newly recognized lord? Chen Mang and Chen Fara, Mr. was behind the army during the Pingchun War? I guess he didn't see the lord."
Guo Jia said in shock: "He is Chen Mang!"
Xu Chu nodded with a smile: "My lord is unparalleled in martial arts, and I have already agreed to surrender. Mr. Fengxiao? Isn't lord here to raise idle people? I don't have much time left for you."
Guo Jia showed a tangled expression: "Rong Jia will think about it for a few more days..."
He and Xu Chu followed Cao Cao for only a short year, and Xu Chu's surrender was not beyond his expectations.
But he is different. He originally worked on Yuan Shao's side, but he went to Cao Cao because he could not get heavy use.
After discussing the great affairs of the world with Cao Cao, do you think Cao Cao deserves assistance? And Cao Cao also valued him, which is considered to be a kindness to him.
Compared to Xu Chu, who surrendered by Chen Mang's force, Guo Jia had more considerations.
After a while, Guo Jia's calf had a faint pain and bared his teeth. He asked Xu Chu: "General Zhongkang, what's wrong with my injury?"
Xu Chu looked at Guo Jia with a sympathy: "My lord said a yellow donkey fell from the sky? It just hit you. The lord rescued you for a long time before he rescued you back."
I was hit by a donkey? I think it was your head kicked by a donkey!
Guo Jia looked at Xu Chu with a slight twitch on his cheek? He felt that his IQ was insulted...
On the other hand, Chen Mang, who walked out of the senior ward room, came to the conference hall and processed the official documents sent by Zhuge Liang.
Not long after? Jia Xu walked in? He reported: "Lord, Lu Bu came with a few entourages from Xuzhou, saying that he had escaped from death and missed his daughter. He was going to visit the palace for a few days."
Chen Mang rolled his eyes and said, "Come and eat and drink again, and send him to Zilong's residence."
Jia Xu bowed: "Xu will go and send him and Diao Chan away."
"Diao Chan is here too?"
Chen Mang was slightly stunned, then raised his face and said, "Mr. Wen is here from afar, lord, I want to go out to greet him in person!"
Jia Xu: "..."
A moment later, Chen Mang welcomed Lu Bu and Diao Chan into the palace, called Zilong and his wife, and set up a banquet to entertain them.
Lu Bu ate the delicacies from Chen Mang's palace again, and couldn't help but feel happy. After drinking a few glasses of high-altitude wine, he chatted with Chen Mang with a dizzy face: "Fa Ra, you have defeated Cao's thief this time and are already famous all over the world. I pity that most of my Xuzhou has been lost. The big-eared thief has helped Cao's thief, and it seems that he can't take it back."
Chen Mang said with a smile: "Was Marquis Wen coming to borrow troops this time?"
Lu Bu laughed and said, "Hahaha, we are all family members, so how can we talk about borrowing or not? I have no son in my knees, and Zilong is my son. No matter how many territory I have, I will always belong to him after a hundred years."
"It's a pity that I'm old and old. Even if I want to take down Xuzhou for him, I can't do it anymore."
Lu Bu said, with a hint of sigh on his face and continued, "I came here this time to join forces. From now on, my subordinates Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others will be led by Zilong, and I will stay in Shouchun, with my wife and children accompanying each other to enjoy the joy of family."
Chen Mang looked at Lu Bu in front of him and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He couldn't figure out where Lu Bu was acting for a long time.
According to Lu Bu's unconvinced nature, he came to join him, which was far beyond his expectations.
Could it be that Lu Bu wants to use a trick to make Shouchun?
As long as my brain is not sick, I can see that Shouchun is a difficult bone to crack...
Lu Bu looked at Chen Mang's puzzled expression and laughed: "Faya doesn't need to worry too much. I really don't want to ask about the world again this time."
"I have been conquering for half my life, and I have no rivals in the world. I am invincible for the general, but I am not very competent as a leader. Chen Gongtai had a chat with me in the previous episode, which made me suddenly enlightened. Only by handing over Xuzhou to you can I save the lives of my men."
Looking at Lu Bu with a sincere face, Chen Mang stood up solemnly and bowed: "Wen Hou is righteous, Mang thanked Wen Hou on behalf of the people of Xuzhou."
Lu Bu received a gift from Chen Mang and said with a smile: "Faya, I even gave it to you in Xuzhou. You can't be stingy with the treasured wine!"
Chen Mang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I have enough wine and meat here, so I can try different ways to keep you from getting tired of eating!"
Lu Bu nodded as if he was very comforted: "Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have agreed to surrender to your account, and go and meet them on a date."
Chen Mang responded with a smile and accompanied Lu Bu to continue drinking. Lu Bu was drunk again and was sent to the guest room for rest by Chen Mang.
At this point, half of Xuzhou south of Xia Pi fell into Chen Mang's hands, making Chen Mang the most powerful prince under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
