When Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhuge Liang led two thousand soldiers and horses to capture Ye City.
Liu Qi also led more than 3,000 people to the area around Chaoge.
Because there was no supplies, no tent was set up, but they stayed in a dense forest.
March from Dongjun to Jizhou.
It was necessary to hide the traces and did not bring any supplies.
After all, setting up tents and other supplies required carriages, so it was difficult to hide the traces.
Moreover, marching on small roads was not suitable for carriages.
It was just a quick trip with a few days of dry food.
Chaoge has ten thousand defenders.
Liu Qi was not prepared to attack head-on.
It was no different from seeking death and would only result in failure.
More than three thousand soldiers gathered together in twos and threes in the dense forest.
They took out dry food, mixed it with water, and ate it slowly to replenish their physical strength.
Liu Qi, Dian Wei, Wei Yan, and Pang Tong also gathered together.
Liu Qi held the dry food in one hand and ate it slowly, without taking his eyes off the map on the ground in front of him.
If Chaoge's defenders cannot be eliminated, even if Yecheng is captured, there will still be certain hidden dangers, and they will be attacked from both sides.
It will take time for the army as far away as Puyang to come over.
They need to defend Yecheng before the army arrives and prevent Yuan Shao from taking Yecheng back, otherwise everything will be of no use.
If Zhang He goes out of the city to fight, he will not be afraid with more than 3,000 soldiers.
But if Zhang He stays in the city, with more than 3,000 soldiers, he will be able to hold Zhang He back, but he will not be able to take Chaoge and solve the hidden danger.
"My lord, I'm worried about how to capture Chaoge," Pang Tong asked.
Hear the words.
Liu Qi nodded, without denying it, and said: "There are ten thousand defenders in Chaoge.
Unless the city defender Zhang He leads his army out of the city, there will be a chance to capture Chaoge.
Otherwise, it is difficult to know how Shi Yuan will respond. policy" If the guard in the city was not Zhang He, he had another plan, which was to sneak into the city and seize the city gate, but Zhang He would not leave such a chance, so this plan could be discarded.
Dian Wei and Wei Yan also looked at Pang Tong, and they did not think of a way to quickly capture Chaoge.
"My lord, I request to enter Chaoge alone.
Please persuade Zhang He, my lord."
Pang Tong stood up and cupped his hands.
There was a firm look in his eyes.
He had thought of many ways along the way, but none of them were suitable.
Only this one had the best chance.
After all, Zhang He is different from the rest of Yuan Shao's subordinates, and this is his opportunity.
The words fell.
Dian Wei and Wei Yan were also a little surprised.
They looked at Pang Tong and were speechless.
You must know that they have a hostile relationship with Jizhou now.
Pang Tong entered Chaoge alone, which was a problem.
Liu Qi glanced at Pang Tong, fell silent, and did not agree immediately.
"My lord, if the two armies are fighting, the envoys will not be killed without killing them, and with Zhang He's loyalty, the chance of success in persuading his subordinates is also very high.
In this way, a battle can be avoided, and Chaoge's ten thousand soldiers can be conquered without any damage.
"Defender" Pang Tong continued.
"But that's just a chance, but if something happens, you won't be able to come back."
Liu Qi looked at Pang Tong and said seriously.
Pang Tong smiled and said: "If I can help my lord achieve a great cause, why would I hesitate to die?"

Liu Qi pondered for a moment.
Then he said seriously: "This plan is feasible, but Shiyuan, you must remember that everything must be based on your own safety.
A small Chaoge cannot replace you."
"Nuo" Pang Tong also raised his hand and said, "I will make arrangements now and rush to Chaoge to persuade Zhang He."
Liu Qi nodded and did not persuade him any more.
Seeing the expression on Pang Tong's face, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade him.
Although he could force Pang Tong to give up such an idea, there would be no change.
Moreover, given the current situation, it might be the best way to let Pang Tong persuade.
After Pang Tong received Liu Qi's approval, he no longer hesitated.
He nodded to Dian Wei and Wei Yan, then bowed to Liu Qi and turned around to leave.
They said they wanted to make arrangements, but there was nothing that needed to be arranged. from time to time "drive" There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Pang Tong was seen riding a horse, galloping in the direction of Chaoge.
See this.
"Lord" Wei Yan said.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, this is also Shiyuan's choice."
Dian Wei and Wei Yan looked at each other and did not continue talking.
"Let the soldiers seize the time to rest.
After half a stick of incense, we will march to Chaoge," Liu Qi said.
After saying that, he clapped his hands, stood up, and walked somewhere.
"promise" Dian Wei and Wei Yan didn't know what to say.
They also understood that Liu Qi actually didn't want Pang Tong to go, but that was Pang Tong's choice.
They didn't bother Liu Qi anymore, and they didn't know how to persuade him.
Then he made arrangements, preparing to continue marching to Chaoge after the soldiers had rested.
a long time More than three thousand soldiers also gathered.
Liu Qi, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan also got on their horses and prepared to lead more than 3,000 troops and horses to continue marching towards Chaoge.
However, at this time.
"drive" Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves from behind.
He turned and looked back.
They saw two soldiers riding fast horses, rushing towards them.
Moreover, the armor on the soldiers was also the standard of their Jingzhou Army.
There were two small flags on their backs.
They were obviously the messengers. soon.
"call" Two messengers also came to Liu Qi on horseback.
"Report, Yecheng Battle Report" "Report, Jizhou intelligence" The two messengers took out the letter and handed it to Liu Qi with both hands.
Liu Qi also accepted the two letters and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest."
"promise" The two messengers also handed over their hands, turned their horses and walked off.
See this.
Liu Qi did not hesitate, opened the two letters and started reading.
Regarding the battle report from Yecheng, he could obviously guess one thing, that is, Ma Chao and others captured Yecheng and sent people to send good news.
There would be no surprises. , But Jizhou's intelligence can have many different situations.
Slowly.
Liu Qi's eyes also flashed with a look of surprise, and then he showed his original look, but he also had a solemn look.
It was obvious that something unexpected had happened.
"Lord" Wei Yan said.
The obvious thing is also wanting to know what's going on.
"Meng Qi and the others have captured Yecheng last night.

As for the rest, we can talk about it after they capture Chaoge," Liu Qi said.
It was stated that he did not want to discuss Jizhou intelligence at this time.
Hear the words.
"promise" Wei Yan and Dian Wei didn't have any objections.
The most important issue now was Chaoge's issue
