In Chapter 87 of the Romance, in the 3rd year of Jianxing (225), urgent news arrives from Yizhou that Meng Huo, King of the Man, has raised 100,000 Man troops and invaded the border, and Zhuge Liang sets out in person on the southern campaign. Hearing that the marshals of the three caves have all been captured by Zhuge Liang and that their troops have scattered, Meng Huo, in a great rage, raises his Man troops and advances, and runs into Wang Ping's troops.

Coming out before his lines, Meng Huo looks at the Shu formation and says that its flags are in disorder, its ranks tangled, and that not one of its weapons could beat him, and that had he known this sooner, he would have rebelled long ago. Before Meng Huo has finished asking who dares go and capture a Shu general to raise the army's spirits, the general who answers and comes forward is Mangyachang. Wielding a great head-severing blade and riding a yellow-dappled horse, he charges at Wang Ping, and after the two generals have fought only a few bouts, Wang Ping flees. Romance, Ch. 87 §46–47

Meng Huo drives his troops in pursuit, and Guan Suo too fights briefly and flees, falling back some twenty li or more; but Shu troops strike out along two routes and cut off the way back, and Wang Ping and Guan Suo turn their troops and strike back, so that the Man troops are badly defeated. Meng Huo leads his subordinate generals and fights his way out desperately, but is blocked by Zhao Yun and is at last captured by Wei Yan, who lies in ambush in a mountain valley. Romance, Ch. 87 §47–49

In Chapter 88, Ma Dai crosses the Lu River at Shakou by night, seizes Jiashan Gorge, the key point on the grain route of the Man caves, and takes more than a hundred carts from the Man people escorting grain. When a report comes in that Shu troops flying the flag of 'Ma Dai, General Who Pacifies the North' have cut the grain route at Jiashan, Meng Huo laughs, 'A petty fellow like this is hardly worth mentioning!', and sends his lieutenant general Mangyachang to lead 3,000 troops to Jiashan Gorge. Romance, Ch. 88 §10–11 · 13–14

Seeing that the Man troops have arrived, Ma Dai draws up 2,000 troops in front of the mountain.

The badly defeated Man troops flee back and tell Meng Huo in detail what happened, and when Meng Huo asks who dares go and face Ma Dai, Dongtuna steps forward. Romance, Ch. 88 §15
