After leaving Heishan, Chen Mang joined forces with the Heishan army outside the mountain and robbed Yuan Shao's food and grass along the Yellow River.

Along the way, the food and grass that could be transported were transported back to Heishan, and those that could not be transported were distributed to local refugees and the people. Later, Yuan Shao strengthened the escort of food and grass, and Chen Mang led his army alone to go deeper. He really could not rob any more, so he could only bear the pain of burning the food and grass that Yuan Jun that he met.

Five days later, Chen Mang came to Qingzhou. Seeing the soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait ready for war, he hurriedly found a ferry, crossed the Yellow River quietly, and returned to the military camp of Jinan.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Chen Mang saw Jia Xu fighting Pang Tong.

Although Jia Xu is over fifty years old, he has served as a captain in the army after all. He is much better than Pang Tong, who is a scholar. In addition, he has made every plan and has almost predicted Pang Tong's dodging move. He danced with a military stick in his hand and made Pang Tong run away with his head in his arms.

Zhuge Liang shivered in the corner of the tent and shivered, using the Bagua Formation to protect himself, using a trick to prevent Jia Xu from seeing him, and his eyes were always kept away from Jia Xu, for fear that he would find him.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mang couldn't help but feel happy. When he looked at the side, he saw Xu Chu also coming and asked him, "Zhongkang, what's going on?"

When Xu Chu saw Chen Manghui come, he showed joy on his face and said, "Mr. Wenhe heard that Pang Tong asked his lord to take risks, so he was so angry that he ran over overnight to raise an army to question him. I said with his lord's skills, how could the Black Mountain Army hurt you? Mr. Wenhe was too worried."

Zhuge Liang turned his head when he heard Chen Mang's voice and shouted in surprise: "My lord is back!" As soon as he finished speaking, a shoe slammed on his forehead, causing him to bare his teeth in an instant.

Jia Xu stopped, leaned on the ground with a military stick and gasped, and said to Chen Mang in sweat: "Lord, you must not be so reckless in the future. The son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall, let alone the lord's body is tied to the lives of millions of people!"

Chen Mang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wenhe, I was deceived by a villain this time, and I will definitely not be like this next time."

Jia Xu heard this? He glared at Pang Tong viciously again.

When Pang Tong saw Chen Mang throw the blame, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and then asked, "Lord? Is the matter done?"

Chen Mang nodded: "Your lord takes action? Naturally, the situation is natural. The Black Mountain Army has agreed to surrender? And he robbed Yuan Shao a lot of food and supplies with me."

Pang Tong smiled and said, "It's great. The day before yesterday, Yuan Shao sent Gao Lan to launch an attack? After being defeated by General Guan Yu, he retreated to the other side. Now just need to inform the Youzhou army? We can launch an offensive against Yuan Shao from Youzhou!"

Chen Mang asked again: "What are the actions Cao Cao has done?"

Jia Xu had already put on his shoes at this time and said, "Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to attack Xuzhou, but after several battles, he was defeated by Wenhou. However, Yixu's opinion, this should be just Cao Cao's suspicious plan? To confuse us? His target should also be Qingzhou."

"What Mr. Wenhe saw was roughly the same as the information of the Black Mountain Army. According to the news that the Black Mountain Army had found out the day before yesterday, Cao Cao's army was rushing to Mount Tai, and wanted to attack us with Yuan Shao. A war was inevitable."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and suggested: "Lord, can we dig out the water of the Yellow River? The water floods Cao's army! Now that the river has entered the ice age, as long as the location is selected properly? The amount of water should not cause too much casualties to the people along the coast."

Chen Mang squinted his eyes: "I have asked Huang Zhong to send troops from Nanyang to attack Xudu, and Zhang Yan also launched an attack from the north bank? Is Cao Cao bound to return to the rescue? He will not be able to take into account the beginning and end in a short period of time."

When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed: "In this way, we have to fight against Yuan Shao in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to fight this battle when Cao Cao arrives."

Chen Mang walked to the tiger-skin chair in the middle of the camp and ordered: "Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, you two rushed to Youzhou immediately and ordered Zhang Liao and Gaoshun to send troops to cut off Yuan Shao's grain road. Take over the Youzhou army and do things cheaply."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong stepped forward to receive the order, and then turned around and left.

Chen Mang suddenly called the two and said, "Wait, I suddenly remembered something. In Dai County, Youzhou, there is a place called Zhuilonggang and Luofengpo. Don't send troops from there, so you two will be able to escape their lives."

Pang Tong was slightly surprised: "Why is this tragic county so weird that he actually violated the nicknames of me and Kong Ming together?"

Chen Mang coughed awkwardly: "Cough, this is the new name I gave to those two places when I was in Youzhou a few days ago... Haha, it sounds easy, right?"

“???”

Pang Tong looked at Chen Mang with his eyelids twitching, feeling that his lord... is really a genius!

After seeing off Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who were rolling their eyes away, Chen Mang looked at the battle reports in recent days.

Huang Zhong sent troops from Nanyang and was stubbornly resisted by Cao's army in Xiangcheng. He is currently stationed at the city, restraining the main force left by Cao's army.

After Zhang Yan entered Hanoi, there was no news and I don’t know where he ran to.

At the same time, a team of Qiang and Hu cavalry came from somewhere and entered Sizhou and headed towards Xudu, intending to catch fish in troubled waters.

Chen Mang was thinking about who sent this Qianghu team from Han Sui and Ma Teng, but suddenly his body trembled and he found a dragon energy falling from the sky and coming towards him.

After a few seconds of stunnedness, Chen Mang sucked the dragon energy into his body in wonder. After a sudden change of mind, he suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Jia Xu with a strange expression: "Wenhe, then Liu Xie may be dead..."

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Mang in front of him. Seeing that the emperor's aura became stronger, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Congratulations to lord, lord is the son of Tianding, and his great cause can be accomplished!"

Chen Mang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be too happy too early. The emperor's child may have been killed by Zhang Yan..."

A cold sweat broke out on Jia Xu's forehead.

If the emperor was killed by Zhang Yan, he would give Cao Cao the excuse to join forces with other princes to attack Chen Mang, and even the emperor was killed. Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others, as relatives of the Han Dynasty, would have to send troops no matter how reluctant they were!

Looking at Chen Mang in front of him, a bright look flashed in Jia Xu's eyes and said to Chen Mang: "The lord is joking. The emperor cannot bear the restraint of Cao Cao and leads his personal guards to escape. After being discovered by Cao Cao, Cao Cao was furious and ordered the emperor to be killed!"

"Lord, we should immediately announce the world, raise an army to attack Cao, and avenge the Han Dynasty! Our righteous army will definitely be invincible in every battle!"

Chen Mang twitched slightly twice, then nodded vigorously and said, "Wenhe's words are reasonable, hurry up and write the announcement. I will immediately order people to spread throughout the world!"

Jia Xu immediately picked up his pen and started a proclamation to fight against Cao.

Chen Mang summoned all the literate people in the army to copy them. Soon after, he copied tens of thousands of copies and sent soldiers to spread them to various places.
