It was too late for Xu Huang to recognize Chen Mang. The soldiers wearing mourning clothes took out swords and swords from their generous mourning clothes, and in the blink of an eye, slashing the soldiers guarding the city gate, followed by figures from the carriage. They were not the women and children that Xu Huang imagined, but all the soldiers with neat armor!

Looking at Chen Mang who was so close to him, Xu Huang moved a blood-red internal energy to fight back, but found that Chen Mang's hands were tightly clamping him, making it impossible for him to take it back.

The two of them stood firmly at the city gate, with the two as the center, and the red and yellow internal energy kept colliding, and the aftermath of the impact caused the soldiers beside them to stumble.

At this time, Chen Mang's soldiers had formed a formation, condensed a powerful military power, crushing Xu Huang's soldiers and forcibly rushed into the city gate.

After a burst of shouts of killing, the sound of weapons colliding and screams rang out one after another, and they started fighting in the city.

Soon, Xu Huang found that the voice behind him gradually became smaller. He heard that Chen Mang's army had entered the city. His face turned pale and his eyes were blood-red, as if he wanted to peel him off and eat meat.

At the same time, Chen Mang felt that the internal energy in Xu Huang's body had been consumed. He suddenly turned around and fell over his shoulder and threw him to the ground.

After a loud bang, smoke and dust filled the ground instantly, and a large pit three feet in radius was smashed.

After the smoke and dust disappeared, Xu Huang lay in the pit and stared at Chen Mang, and closed his eyes unwillingly.

Chen Mang asked someone to carry him onto a carriage, step into the city, and lead people to recruit Cao's soldiers who were wandering around.

Half a day later, Chen Mang gathered most of the soldiers together, with a total of 5,000. The only pity was that most of these people were newly recruited by Cao Cao, and all the elite soldiers followed Cao Cao to pursue Liu Bei.

Thinking of Liu Bei, Chen Mang couldn't help but remember something and asked the secret agent beside him, "Will Liu Bei take his little family with him when he left?"

The secret agent said: "Report to the lord, Liu Bei's two wives were taken into custody by Cao Cao in Liu Bei's mansion. Cao Cao did not allow anyone to enter the yard, saying that he would wait for him to return to the army before he would deal with it."

"As soon as I opened my mouth, I was old Cao Cao. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise the cuckold I gave to Liu Bei would have come true..."

Chen Mang complained about Cao Cao, and then said with emotion: "Brother Xuande, I will fall in love with you at first sight. I will raise your wife! Don't worry, I will go and comfort my two sisters-in-law!"

Soon, Chen Mang came to Liu Bei's mansion under the guidance of the spy, and asked someone to lead Liu Bei's two wives to pay homage.

Mrs. Mi is still young and stands behind Mrs. Gan in panic. Mrs. Gan is older and has a calm expression.

After Chen Mang revealed his identity, he comforted the two with a smile, and then ordered people to prepare the meal and have a meal with the two wives.

Just as the banquet was about to start, someone came to report to him: "Lord, Guan Yu is calling out outside and let the lord pass the two ladies."

Chen Mang's eyes lit up and he said, "Open the city gate and lead him to see me."

The messenger immediately ran out to send the messenger and led Guan Yu in.

When Guan Yu came to the hall, Chen Mang had already set up a banquet and started eating with his two wives. When Guan Yu came in, he saw that his two sisters-in-law were safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After he learned that Xiaopei was captured by Cao's army, he knew that Xuzhou could not be defended anymore, so he immediately led his troops to retreat and rushed to Xiaopei to pick up Liu Bei.

Halfway through, Guan Yu met Mi Zhu who was separated from Liu Bei. When he heard that his two sister-in-law's wife was captured by Cao Cao, he immediately rushed to rescue him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the city, he suddenly found that Xiao Pei had actually returned to Chen Mang, and was shocked.

But at this moment, he was powerless to turn the world back, so he could only sigh helplessly, sighing for a while, and then followed Chen Mang's people into the city, trying to pick up his two sisters-in-law and go looking for his elder brother Liu Bei together.

After his future intention was explained, Chen Mang showed a worried expression and said, "General Yun, you have never even known the whereabouts of Brother Xuande. You will be led out with two sisters-in-law out rashly. There are many inconveniences on the way, and you may not be able to find someone."

"It's better to do this. You and your two sisters-in-law stay here first. When I find out about Brother Xuande, it's not too late to take your two sisters-in-law to meet with Brother Xuande."

Guan Yu was silent for a while. After a long time, he looked up at the two weak sister-in-law, sighed slightly, and bowed: "Since that's the case, then Guan will bother Mr. Chen with shamelessness."

Seeing that Guan Yu agreed to stay, Chen Mang was in a good mood and had a meal with the three of them. Then he went to the office of the government office and had a meeting with Jia Xu and others who were rushing to come.

"Lord, General Gao Shun has taken down Pengcheng. After General Zhang Liao attacked Donghai Kingdom, he met the main force of Cao's army led by Xiahou Dun in Langya, and it was difficult to defeat him for a while. Now, except for Dongguan, Chengyang and Langya counties, the entire Xuzhou has been included in the Lord's Corner."

Listening to Jia Xu's report, Chen Mang took out the map for a while, and said, "Langya County's terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. I ordered Zhang Liao to stay in Donghai County to guard the pass to prevent Cao's army from moving south."

Jia Xu quickly drafted a letter and sent someone to Zhang Liao to deliver it.

On the other hand, Cao Cao chased and lost Liu Bei, and heard that Chen Mang had seized Pengcheng and Donghai counties, and also damaged his general Xu Huang. He was so angry that his teeth were almost broken. He took Zang Ba back to the army and reorganized his troops to prevent Chen Mang from continuing to advance.

However, Chen Mang did not pursue the victory as he expected. Just Chen's army guarded the pass, and there was no movement again, which made Cao Cao suspicious for a time, wondering if Chen Mang was holding up some vicious schemes.

Chen Mang seemed to guess what he was thinking. He was practicing in Jiangxia today and going to Nanyang to practice soldiers tomorrow, constantly teasing Cao Cao's nervous nerves, making him feel uneasy.

The heart of the Central Plains spent more than half a year in such a strange atmosphere, and in a blink of an eye, it was the autumn harvest season again.

At this time, under the pressure of Chen Mang and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao worked hard to defeat Gongsun Zan, took all the territory of Youzhou, and promised to surrender Gongsun Zan's army with great profits, and held all the four prefectures under his nominal jurisdiction in his hands. In the territory, only the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan was still surviving.

Yuan Shao occupied Ji, Qing, You and four states, with hundreds of thousands of troops, appointed Shen Pei, Feng Ji was in charge of military affairs, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You acted as counselors, Yan Liang and Wen Chou acted as generals, and actively prepared for the southern expedition.

Faced with such a huge thing, Cao Cao's pressure suddenly increased, and he immediately called his advisers to hold a combat meeting.

After some discussion, Cao Cao finally decided to join Chen to fight against Yuan and sent Xun Yu to join Chen Mang to form an alliance.

To show his sincerity, he also let his eleven-year-old son Cao Pi accompany him, so a team full of generous gifts headed towards Nanyang where Chen Mang was.
