Within a few days, the Lvbu's Army and the Jiangxia Army had clashed more than ten times. The Jiangxia Army relied on the walls of Huangzhou City, the crisscrossing rivers, and the 5,000 naval troops to resist the Lvbu's Army's attacks. The Lvbu's Army's cavalry could not make full use of their advantage, and the naval troops were also eyeing their infantry. Therefore, there was no progress. "Could it be that Jiang Xia has become our stumbling block?!" Lü Bu slammed his fist on the table. Being used as a knife by Sun Cejun had already made Lü Bu very unhappy. Now, they were being blocked by Huang Zhong's army. Chen Gong also frowned. Huang Zhong seemed to know how powerful Lü Bu was. For the past few days, he had not engaged the Lvbu's Army in a direct confrontation. He had always relied on the city walls or the barracks to force the Lvbu's Army to retreat. Even if the Lvbu's Army was dispersed, they could run to the riverside and jump into the river or lake before swimming back. The Lvbu's Army was basically landlubbers. To be honest, Huang Zhong's Longbow Unit was an elite unit that was not weaker than the Formation Breaker or the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Chen Gong observed that there were less than 3,000 people in the Longbow Unit, but every one of them was an expert in archery. Although they did not always hit the target, their arrows would hit wherever Huang Zhong pointed. This was why Lü Bu suffered so many casualties. "Join forces?!" There was another method that Chen Gong had not used. That was to join forces with Sun Cejun. The two sides would work together to deal with Huang Zu. This way, the Lvbu's Army would be able to get through Jiang Xia and Sun Cejun would be able to get to Jiang Xia. "We can't join forces!" Lü Bu shook his head. Being used as a knife by Sun Cejun to kill Huang Zu, if they really joined forces, it would be embarrassing. Moreover, Lü Bu would not take this lying down. Moreover, who would be the leader if they joined forces? Would Lü Bu be the leader? They were the ones who joined forces first. After taking Jiang Xia, they had completely offended Liu Biao. Xinye was also in Liu Biao's hands. If they were blocked in Xinye, they could forget about leaving. As for that Huang Zhong, Lu Bu regretted a bit. If he had directly killed him, then there wouldn't be so many problems! But if they did not join forces, the entire army would be blocked blocked in Huangzhou City. Lu Bu's army's provisions cannot last for a long time. "How about we forcefully attack?!" This was Zang Ba's voice. Zang Ba did not have any soldiers to form an army for him. Therefore, he became Lü Bu's personal guard. "With the Formation Breaker as the vanguard, ten thousand infantry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to hold back the navy, we can completely destroy the Jiangxia Army in Huangzhou City." Zang Ba looked at Lü Bu. His idea could only be done in a situation where there was no other choice. The Lvbu's Army had less than thirty thousand people. No matter who was lost, Lü Bu would feel heartache for a long time. Moreover, Jiang Xia was not their destination. Do they have to risk their lives here? Wouldn't that be working for Sun Cejun? They might as well join forces! "I have an idea!" Seeing everyone's difficult expression, Liu Mang opened his mouth. "Oh? Hanyang, you say it! " Lü Bu looked at Liu Mang. Although Liu Mang was not a strategist, sometimes when Chen Gong was helpless, Liu Mang's ideas could always brighten people's eyes. "This is just a guess!" Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu Mang shook his head and said. "Even if it's a guess, say it!" Now that they did not know what to do, it was better to have an idea! "Right now, the ones blocking us are the Jiangxia Army. If it was just a normal Jiangxia Army, it would not be worth mentioning. The most important one is that old general Huang Zhong, right?" Liu Mang asked. Everyone nodded. Not only was Huang Zhong's martial prowess outstanding, he was also a great commander. "Since that is the case, then we will think of a way to deal with this old general!" Liu Mang said. "Think of a way to deal with this old general?" Liu Mang was right, but everyone knew that. How could they come up with a strategy to deal with this old general? After the battle with Lü Bu, Huang Zhong did not appear. Whether it was a challenge or a battle, Huang Zhong did not care. He was determined to defend to the death. "I don't know if this information is accurate. The information I received is that this general called Huang Zhong was not originally under Huang Zu. He was under Liu Biao's adopted son, Liu Pan. This Huang Zhong also has a son called Huang Xu, his only son. This son has a disease that is difficult to treat! We can start from his son! "Liu Mang said his idea. "Huang Zhong has a son who is seriously ill?" Chen Gong was in charge of the Lvbu's Army's intelligence. Even he did not know about this Huang Zhong. This Huang Zhong seemed to have fallen from the sky. Nothing could be found, but Liu Mang knew! Chen Gong did not ask where Liu Mang's information came from. This was because the things that Liu Mang brought to Lü Bu were hard to explain. For example, the war horses, the armor, and the army rations at that time. Where did Liu Mang get all this information from a Baidu Encyclopedia expert? However, that was only a rough idea. Liu Mang did not know when Huang Xu died or when Huang Xu got sick. If Huang Xu was already dead, then everything would be useless. "What's the use of knowing all this?" Zang Ba was puzzled. Could it be that they went to Jiang Xia and kidnapped Huang Zhong's son? "I need Huang Zhong to know that I can treat his son's illness!" Liu Mang said. He was not sure what kind of illness Huang Xu had. He only knew that it was a type of pneumonia. However, the so-called terminal illness in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not considered a problem in modern times. Moreover, if Huang Xu was still alive, it meant that the illness was not so serious that it would kill him immediately. If that was the case, then there was a great possibility of treatment. "To mess with the enemy's morale!" Chen Gong did not care if Liu Mang could really treat Huang Zhong's son's illness. What he needed was to mess with the enemy's morale. He could imagine what expression Huang Zhong would have if he told him that his son could be saved right under the nose of the Jiangxia Army. As a father, he would definitely be excited to know that his son could be saved. If Huang Zhong was excited, what would the other Jiangxia Army think? Would they be wary of Huang Zhong? Once there was internal strife, then Jiang Xia's fate would be sealed. "The only thing I am not sure about now is whether his son is still alive!" Liu Mang shook his head. If Huang Xu was already dead, then everything he said now would be in vain. "He's still alive!" Lü Bu said. He closed his eyes and recalled with certainty. "Hmm? Father-in-law, how did you know?! "Liu Mang was puzzled. He was sure that he had only revealed Huang Zhong's information today. Even the matter of Huang Zhong's son was the first time he had mentioned it. However, Lü Bu was able to say with certainty that his son was still alive. "Not only is he alive, but he is also in his camp!" Lü Bu added. How did Lü Bu know? It was because he had smelled it during the battle with Huang Zhong. As a martial artist, he had a strong sense of smell and smelled the smell of medicinal herbs on Huang Zhong's body. Originally, Lü Bu thought that Huang Zhong had accidentally touched it. Now that he heard Liu Mang mention it, he was certain that it was the smell of medicinal herbs that were given to his son. Moreover, Huang Zhong had definitely been in contact with medicinal herbs for a long time. Otherwise, there would not be such a smell on his body. "Alright, since it's confirmed, everyone should go and rest! Tomorrow is the day that the Jiangxia Army disintegrates! "Chen Gong said with a smile. It was already late and it was time to rest. After everyone left, Liu Mang stayed behind. "What's the matter?!" Lü Bu looked at Liu Mang and asked. Lü Bu was also preparing to rest. "Hmm! I need to go back! "Liu Mang said. "Go back?!" Lü Bu pointed to the sky. "There?!" Liu Mang nodded. His CD button was ready and he could proceed with the next teleportation. "Go!" Lü Bu began to take off his cloak. He was going to rest. Seeing that Lü Bu did not give any orders to Liu Mang and was about to leave, Lü Bu's voice came from behind. "Be careful, be careful!"
