Two days is neither long nor short.
But it passed quickly.
Yecheng Jizhou is a prosperous place, not because of anything else, but because there is a wealthy businessman's family in Yecheng, the Zhen family.
The Zhen family is one of the richest in this era.
And after Liu Qi knew that Yuan Shao wanted to drag him to death with no food and money, he took the attention of the Zhen family in Yecheng.
Those who had money and food were in Yuan Shao's territory.
If you don't pay attention, you would still Pay attention to who you hit.
In Yecheng.
It is still very stable now, after all, the battlefield has not spread here yet.
Moreover, there are ten thousand soldiers stationed in Chaoge, not far from Yecheng, as well as generals Zhang He and Zhang Jun.
Ordinary thieves will not attack Yecheng and can only fight against the autumn wind in the surrounding areas.
It was still as usual, looking very peaceful.
However.
More than a hundred people disguised themselves as traders and sneaked into the city.
The Zhen family started out as a businessman, and various merchants came to Yecheng.
There were not a few who wanted to cooperate with the Zhen family.
As long as they paid the head tax, they could enter the city. night falls The gates of Yecheng were also closed tightly.
In the dense forest one mile away from Ye City, there was now a group of soldiers in armor, staring closely at the brightly lit Ye City on the city wall.
Waiting silently, getting ready to go.
The leading general, holding a broadsword in his hand, sat on his horse and stared at the city gate.
It was Pang De and Pang Gongming.
Next to him was a scribe waving a feather fan, it was Zhuge Liang.
They and Ma Chao had already arrived near Yecheng during the day, but they did not attack Yecheng immediately.
After all, Yecheng had five thousand soldiers, and they only had two thousand soldiers, and there was no siege ladder.
If Yecheng closed its gates, they would not be able to capture Yecheng.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang also came up with a strategy.
First, let people sneak into the city and seize the city gate by surprise.
Once they control the city gate, by the time they attack the city, the situation will be irreversible.
The candidate who sneaked into the city was Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi.
On top of the city wall.
Some of the defenders were yawning and looking a little lazy.
Since Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, there has been no war in Jizhou, which made them relax.
Moreover, they have not heard of any enemy troops entering Jizhou, so they can rest assured.
However. , where these defenders did not notice, more than a hundred people gathered on the dark streets of the city, holding sharp knives in their hands, and were quickly approaching the city gate.
A sharp blade exuded an icy cold air in the dark night.
Slowly, with the help of the darkness, I hid my body and got closer and closer to the city gate.
The city gate is also brightly lit, and there are dozens of defenders guarding the city gate passage.
In addition, there is an open area of several hundred meters in front of the city gate passage, with an unobstructed view.
With the help of the darkness, more than a hundred people holding sharp knives came to the dark place in front of the open area and stopped.
And these more than a hundred people were Ma Chao and others who had sneaked into the city, intending to seize control of the city gate.
"kill" Ma Chao glanced at the listless defenders guarding the city gate passage, shouted loudly, and rushed out of the city gate passage with a long knife in hand.
"kill kill" The more than a hundred people who followed Ma Chao in were also veterans who had been following Ma Chao and were also Ma Chao's personal guards.
When Ma Chao rushed out, they did not hesitate at all.
They held the weapons in their hands tightly and followed Ma Chao towards the city.
Dozens of defenders in front of the gate passage launched a charge.

Cries of kill were heard.
The dozens of defenders in front of the city gate passage were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses when they saw Ma Chao and others leading more than a hundred people rushing out with weapons in hand.
They, who were originally listless, became energetic.
"There are enemy troops, there are enemy troops, stop them quickly" The guard captain shouted, and drew out the sword from his waist, preparing to fight.
The rest of the defenders were also in a panic.
They took their weapons and wanted to form a defensive formation.
However.
"kill" puff How could Ma Chao give them a delaying action?
He rushed forward and chopped a soldier to the ground with a knife, and his head was separated.
Immediately, without stopping, the long knife in his hand danced rapidly, harvesting lives one by one.
Ma Chao is brave and unstoppable.
But the more than a hundred personal guards behind him were not bad either, directly tearing apart the formations of dozens of guards and harvesting the lives of dozens of guards.
Not long had passed since the shouts of death started.
Dozens of defenders all fell to the ground and slept here forever.
There was no time for the defenders on the city wall to react.
With Ma Chao and more than a hundred elite guards, it couldn't be easier to kill dozens of defenseless guards.
Ma Chao flicked the blood on his long sword and ordered: "Open the city gate quickly, and the rest of the people will follow me to intercept the defenders on the city wall."
"promise" More than a hundred personal guards also knew their mission, and quickly divided half of them into the city gate passage, preparing to open the city gate.
The remaining half of the guards followed Ma Chao towards the city wall and climbed the stairs.
On top of the city wall.
The originally idle and somewhat listless defenders also heard the shouts of killing under the city gate.
When they reacted, there was no movement under the city gate.
But they also all knew something was wrong.
A garrison general organized a group of soldiers and headed for the stairs, preparing to walk down the city wall to see what was going on.
When the garrison general led a group of troops to the stairs quickly.
Not heading down the stairs yet.
Then he saw Ma Chao leading half of his guards up, and was stunned for a moment.
"kill" There was a flash of white light.
Then he saw Ma Chao raising his sword and slashing the front guard general with one strike.
He fell from the city wall and fell into the city.
It was obvious that he would not survive.
Before he even had time to scream, he was already hacked to death.
Kill the defending general.
Ma Chao didn't stop, swung his sword and rushed towards the defenders who came to the stairs.
"kill" Half of the personal guards also waved their weapons, and as Ma Chao charged into the crowd, they raised their knives and dropped them, blood splattering.
"There are enemy troops and the enemy is attacking."
Their own generals were chopped down by enemy soldiers, and the enemy soldiers suddenly appeared, leaving them unable to react.
When you react.
There are also many defenders who have fallen to the butcher's knife of Ma Chao and a group of personal guards.
The defenders also resisted.
After all, if he didn't resist, he might be the next to die.
There was still a chance to resist, but if he didn't resist, he wouldn't even have a chance.
And there were only dozens of enemy soldiers.
Cries of killing, screams, and the clash of weapons also sounded on the city walls.
The defenders who were still stationed at the city wall also surged over.

Ma Chao showed no fear when facing the large number of defenders.
He waved the long knife in his hand repeatedly, cutting down each of the defenders who wanted to approach.
