But said What is Liu Qi doing now?
In Jizhou, in a deep mountain and old forest.
There were fires swaying in the dark night.
Around the fire, there were soldiers wearing battle armor.
They gathered around the fire, and the swaying firelight shone on the faces.
There are thousands of people.
Some war horses were also tied to the surrounding trees and snorted.
There were also some soldiers standing around with spears in their hands, looking at the dark front, obviously on guard.
In front of a fire.
There were several people surrounding it, and a map was placed among them.
And these people are Liu Qi, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Pang De, Wei Yan, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others.
As for why Liu Qi and others appeared here?
Then we have to start from the time when we captured Dongjun.
After knowing that Yan Liang and Shen Pei had confiscated all the food, grass, materials, etc. of the people in Dongjun, they would not be able to continue the conquest of Jizhou without other countermeasures.
Therefore, Liu Qi also made a plan this time to seize Yecheng secretly.
As long as Yecheng is captured, he can continue to lead his army to attack Jizhou, and there will not be the embarrassing situation of only having a large army and no food and grass.
Guo Jia and others agreed with this plan, but did not want Liu Qi to take the risk himself.
But Liu Qi had decided that he could only ask Ma Chao and Wei Yan, two of the four generals, to follow him.
There is also Dian Wei.
Although he is not one of the generals of the Four Directions, his status and force are not inferior to those of the generals of the Four Directions.
It is just that Dian Wei does not lead troops, so he is not incorporated.
As for Pang De, he was also a general, but he was leading the army under Ma Chao, so he was only one level below him.
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are also talented people who can stand alone.
They have great talents, so they came with the army.
They are all backbone talents who assist Liu Qi.
With four generals and two counselors providing advice, even if the plan fails to succeed, Liu Qi's safety can be well guaranteed.
Guo Jia and others were relieved.
As for the remaining army, it is led by Huang Zhong as the commander-in-chief, with Guo Jia and others as assistants.
The army marched from Dongjun to Puyang just to hide the whereabouts of Liu Qi and others, so that they could be surprised and would not be discovered by Yuan Jun's intelligence.
The army of more than 100,000 people could not be discovered at all even if thousands of people were missing.
In order to provide better cover, Liu Qi also found someone to play him, as well as Dian Wei and others.
Along the way, we also detoured a lot of places and took some small paths that few people used.
We didn't even raise any flags, so we secretly entered Jizhou and came here.
"Where are we now?"
Liu Qi asked with a twinkle in his eye.
"Back to my lord, because we need to hide our whereabouts, the marching speed is not very fast.
Now we have passed the boundary of Baima and entered the boundary of Liyang.
According to the current marching speed, it will take at least two days to reach Yecheng."
Ma Chao said with a hand.
Hear the words.
Liu Qi also became silent.
Indeed, he needed to avoid being discovered, and the marching speed was not much faster, but he still felt that it was a bit slow.
After all, if this plan failed, he would have no choice but to retreat, and he would be unable to do so for at least a year.
If we continue to conquer Jizhou, we may have problems in protecting ourselves.
After all, food, grass and money are the most important things to support the army.

"Lord, if we speed up the pace, we can reach Yecheng in a day and a half," Ma Chao said after hesitating.
The others also looked at Liu Qi, and they also knew why Ma Chao hesitated.
Liu Qi frowned and waved his hand: "No need, just follow the current marching speed."
He also understands that things like this cannot be rushed.
If there is a rush, something may go wrong.
The most unacceptable thing nowadays is making mistakes.
"No" Ma Chao didn't refute.
"My lord, there are five thousand defenders in Yecheng.
With our five thousand soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to capture Yecheng.
Moreover, there are no generals stationed in Yecheng."
Zhuge Liang pointed his finger at the symbol of Ye City on the map, paused, moved to one side, and continued: "But my lord, Chaoge, not far from Ye City, is garrisoned by 10,000 soldiers, and the general guarding the city is under Yuan Shao's command.
The Cavalry Commander Zhang He and Zhang Jun" Zhang He Zhang Jun Liu Qi frowned.
He also knew that there were not many soldiers and horses in Yecheng.
Almost all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou, except for the 70,000 Yuan troops who intercepted his army in Puyang, were gathered by Yuan Shao.
Only then would he have the idea of going in alone to seize Yecheng and solve the current predicament.
But he didn't expect that Zhang He would lead the troops in Chaoge.
With Zhang He's ability, Yuan Shao probably wouldn't let Zhang He come here to lead his troops.
"Lord" Everyone looked and saw that the person speaking was Pang Tong.
Liu Qi nodded and asked Pang Tong to continue.
"My lord, when my subordinates were traveling in the Central Plains, they also heard about Zhang He in the land of Jizhou.
He hates evil and is not afraid of power.
Anyone who commits an offense under his command will not have any good consequences. , so he also offended many people.
Unlike his good friend Gao Lan, he does not curry favor with the powerful."
"So, even if he has skills, he is still a talented general, but he cannot be reused by Yuan Shao."
Speaking of which.
Pang Tong paused for a moment before continuing: "My subordinates believe that the lord can subdue him.
In this way, he can establish a foothold in Jizhou and wait for the arrival of the army."
"My subordinates agree," Zhuge Liang also said.
After all, if you can conquer Zhang He, you can guarantee a lot of things, at least you can win over some soldiers.
Liu Qi touched his chin and became condensed.
He also knew that if he didn't capture Chaoge, he would not be able to stabilize Yecheng.
Even though he had four generals around him, they would be enough to kill Zhang He.
But Zhang He has ten thousand soldiers and horses, so it is not a problem to hold on.
If he waits for reinforcements to arrive, he will definitely be defeated.
Then he said: "Meng Qi, Gong Ming" "exist" "Given the two of you and two thousand troops, we can surely capture Yecheng."
Ma Chao and Pang De looked at each other, stood up, and said at the same time: "That's enough.
If we can't take Yecheng, I'll see you later."
Liu Qi nodded and said: "In this case, you three, Meng Qi, Gongming, and Kongming, will lead two thousand soldiers and horses to capture Yecheng.
I will lead the remaining three thousand soldiers and horses, plus three hundred blood-clad guards.
Go meet Zhang He, at least stop him and prevent him from having a chance to support Yecheng."
"Can" "There is no need to discuss this matter.
Three thousand soldiers and horses, plus three hundred blood-clad guards, are enough to stop Zhang He," Liu Qi waved his hand.
"promise" Everyone looked at each other and agreed.
Liu Qi also stood up, his eyes shining brightly, and said: "In this case, we will continue marching after half a stick of incense rest."
"promise" The forest also became quiet.

All that's left is the crackling sound of the fire burning.
Slowly.
The firelight swaying in the dark night also disappeared, and only some smoke rose.
Liu Qi and others who stayed here also disappeared
