After taking down Jiangdong, Chen Mang had already occupied half of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the other princes were all afraid, especially Liu Biao and Cao Cao who were bordering him, it was not an exaggeration to say that they could not sleep at night, for fear that Chen Mang would have a large army to approach the border when he woke up.

However, in the past six months, Chen Mang has been concentrating on digesting Jiangdong and Yuan Shao's territory, and there is no sign of moving troops, which makes the two feel a little relieved.

At the same time, the southern land raised another army. Liu Bei and Fa Zheng and other Yizhou gentry cooperated with each other and defeated Liu Zhang and took the land of Yizhou. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's time to look south, he sent troops to attack Zhang Lu, and the two sides fought in Hanzhong.

In the northern part, Yuan Shu was defeated by Chen Mang two years ago and was redeemed by the Yuan family for 100,000 stones of grain and grass. Although he was cheered up again, he was helpless in Bingzhou's shortage of troops and grain, and Yuan Shang was not very useful, so he was the only one who struggled to support him.

After the winter, the Southern Xiongnu invaded and plundered, causing them to suffer so much that Yuan Shu could no longer support him and had to surrender to Chen Mang.

Chen Mang's troops were able to obtain the remaining counties of Bingzhou without any blood, and immediately mobilized troops to attack the Southern Xiongnu that occupied Hexi.

When he heard that he was going to fight the Huns, Lu Bu immediately became energetic.

Although he encountered setbacks in the Central Plains, he was good at defeating the Huns!

At that time, his grandfather Lu Hao was ordered to guard the Jiuyuan border and moved to the Jiuyuan area to settle down. He grew up against the Huns since he was a child. Later, he defected to Ding Yuan, and he fought with the Huns a lot.

Now that his hometown Jiuyuan has been occupied by the Huns, how could Lu Bu fall behind when he defeated the Huns and recovered his hometown?

When he said he wanted to fight the Huns, Lu Bu, who was addicted to alcohol, was immediately lost. He ran to Chen Mang and asked to lead troops to fight. Chen Mang felt that this old guy who was a master of foreign war could be used, so he ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to return to his command and allocated him 20,000 cavalry. Pang Tong was the military advisor and directly entered the territory of the Southern Xiongnu.

Lu Bu, who returned to Bingzhou, immediately became a carnival, led his troops alone and didn't even want food and grass. He plundered the Xiongnu as supplies and directly attacked the court of the Southern Xiongnu, killed the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu on the horse, and finally vented the stuffiness that had accumulated in his chest for many years.

By the time Chen Mang contacted Lu Bu again, Lu Bu had already killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu people in Shangjun, Wuyuan and other places. The Southern Xiongnu were killed by Lu Bu and rushed into Ma Teng and Hansui's territory with his remaining troops. The other part escaped into the Xianbei tribe nearby.

After hearing the news of Lu Bu's victory, Chen Mang was surprised and personally ran to the Taiyuan Palace to welcome the triumphant soldiers.

Lu Bu was full of energy and looked like he was a teenager. He rode on his horse and accepted the welcome from the people, and vaguely returned to his youth.

After entering the palace, everyone sat down in the hall. Chen Mang looked at Pang Tong who had gained a lot of weight and said curiously: "Others who went to war will lose weight, why are you still fat?"

Pang Tong stared at the wine and meat in front of him and said with a complicated look: "Lord, Tong will never eat beef and mutton again in the future. Can someone give me a few dishes of vegetables?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "The Huns are not engaged in production, and even food is rare. They can only eat cattle and sheep along the way, which is really difficult for the military advisors."

Chen Mang smiled and said to Pang Tong: "In two days, I will send you to Zhuge Villager to store grain with him, and provide enough vegetables."

Lu Bu drank a glass of wine and said with satisfaction: "It's still delicious wine made by the Lord. Lord, this time I went to fight the Huns, I also brought an acquaintance back." As he said that, he smiled and clapped his palms hard.

A soldier led a beautiful woman to the entrance of the hall. Chen Mang looked at her face and said curiously: "Bring to the hall."

The woman followed the soldiers into the hall, lowered her head and came to the audience, bowed and said, "Cai Zhaoji, pay homage to King Ming."

Listening to her claim, Chen Mang suddenly realized that he remembered the abducted Cai Wenji by the Huns four years ago.

Chen Mang felt it carefully and found that like Zhuge Liang and others, she was following the path of civil officials cultivating their spiritual power. She looked at the walking spring water a few times and said, "Zhao Ji, from now on, you will stay under my command as a doctor and be responsible for teaching female officials."

Cai Wenji was slightly stunned, raised her face and looked at Chen Mang, feeling a little strange.

Originally, she thought Chen Mang wanted to accept her into the harem, but she never expected that Chen Mang would actually give her an official position?

This was really beyond her expectations.

Cai Wenji replied to her spirit and said, "I wonder what position the queen is, how should Zhaoji teach them?"

Chen Mang said: "It should be impossible for you to deal with some ordinary business."

Cai Wenji nodded slightly when she heard this, thanked her: "Zhao Ji received the order."

Looking at Cai Wenji, Chen Mang couldn't help but think of Cao Cao who was familiar with her. His eyes rolled and he called the eunuch Lu Shan to order.

After hearing this, Lu Shan showed a strange expression on his face, and then walked out of the hall with laughter and tears...

Half a month later, Chen Mang came to Jiangdong and called Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to discuss matters.

After the two arrived, Chen Mang greeted him with an angry look on his face and said, "Bo Fu, Gongjin, you are finally here. It's too much, it's too much!"

Sun Ce looked at Chen Mang with a playful look: "Why is the lord angry? Who dares to make you angry?"

Chen Mang said sadly and angrily: "It's not that Cao Cao, you don't know how excessive he is! A few days ago, he built a bronze bird platform in Xudu and wrote a poem, "Oh, you can read it yourself..."

Chen Mang said, handing over a copy of the poem to the two of them.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at the poem on the paper and saw the sentence "Let the two bridges beside the southeast, enjoying the day and night together", and their faces immediately became ugly.

Chen Mang looked at the faces of the two, showed a look of hatred against the enemy, and said, "I don't know what you think. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it!"

Zhou Yu said angrily: "Cao thief, traitor, evil thief, I am incompatible with him!"

Sun Ce's eyes were about to ignite anger and said to Chen Mang: "Lord, give me a 30,000 army, I'll take Cao Zhe's head to see you!"

Seeing that the two of them were aroused to murder, Chen Mang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, I will go up along the Yellow River with 10,000 naval troops and 30,000 infantry soldiers, and go up the Yellow River to attack Guandu!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu immediately received the order happily, and immediately came up with a map and discussed the attack on Cao Cao with Chen Mang and Zhuge Liang.

In the evening, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu made a general arrangement for attacking Guandu, said goodbye after dinner, and went back home to improve the specific details.

After watching the two leave, Zhuge Liang looked at the poem on the table with a strange look on his face and frowned: "Lord, Cao Cao is still in the mood to build a palace and have fun now? Why do I feel that there is something weird about this? Could it be that Cao Cao set up a trap and tempting us to attack him?"

Chen Mang smiled and said, "The Tongque Tower was not originally built by Cao Cao. It was a stage built with wood that I spent thousands of dollars on, which was used by the spies for the spies to cover up."

"Provocation method?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized something, and then looked at the poem carefully, and found that it was Chen Mang's handwriting. He couldn't help but feel a toothache: "Lord, you should be a person..."
