far away Liu Qi and others, who led the army to stay a mile away, also saw a gap opening in the Chaoge City Gate.
But no one launched a charge.
After all, everyone knew that there was no time, let alone Pang Tong's persuasion in the city.
Before getting an accurate reply, there will be no drastic behavior.
Stationing troops here is just to show your attitude.
After a while.
Then they saw two people riding horses out of the gap, one riding towards them; the other stopped not far from the city gate, as if waiting for something.
The man galloping over on horseback was getting closer and closer.
Liu Qi and others also saw the face of the visitor clearly.
It was Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan who came to the city to persuade Zhang He.
Wait for Pang Tong to approach.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shiyuan," Liu Qi said.
Pang Tong also showed a grateful face.
After all, Liu Qi did not ask about Zhang He's persuasion in the first place, and was concerned about his safety.
Then, he said with some shame: "This subordinate has failed the Lord's trust."
"Oh, Zhang He and Zhang Junyi refused to surrender to me."
Liu Qi asked without blaming him.
Dian Wei and Wei Yan also looked at Pang Tong.
If he refused to surrender, the only option was to fight, but how to fight also required planning.
Pang Tong shook his head, nodded again, and then said: "My subordinates feel that Zhang He has a heart to submit, but he wants to meet his lord alone."
Then he pointed at the soldier sitting on a horse not far from the city gate, wearing armor and holding a sword.
He continued: "Zhang He said that he had to wait there for half a stick of incense.
It was difficult for his subordinates to make a decision, so he came back to report.
However, his subordinates believed that the lord did not need to take risks in case something unexpected happened."
Although he believed that Zhang He had a high chance of surrendering, Liu Qi had to go to see Zhang He in person.
If something unexpected happened, he would be the guilty party.
And although they can't take Chaoge now, they can still trap Zhang He in the city.
If they come out for a head-on confrontation, even if they have few soldiers and horses, they will not be afraid of Zhang He.
The victor will definitely be their side.
Therefore, Liu Qi did not want to take risks.
"We second the proposal," Wei Yan and Dian Wei also said in unison.
After all, it was too dangerous for Liu Qi to go there alone.
If Zhang He had any thoughts, they would not have time to rescue him.
"Meet me alone," Liu Qi murmured.
He raised his head and looked at Zhang He who was standing not far from the city gate.
Although he was a little far away and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he felt that Zhang He was looking directly at him.
After a moment of concentration, he waved his hand to stop Pang Tong and the other three who were still trying to persuade, and said: "If we can avoid fighting, we can capture Chaoge, and we can subdue a general.
What's the point of meeting him once?"
"No" "My lord, no" Pang Tong, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan still wanted to persuade him.
"I have made up my mind, you wait here," Liu Qi said. puff Liu Qi directly stuck the spear in his hand on the ground, pulled the reins of the horse, and slowly headed towards the city gate.
See this.
Wei Yan and Dian Wei both glared at Pang Tong, looked at each other again, then stared at the direction Liu Qi was leaving, holding the horse's rein with one hand and holding the weapon with the other.
If there was anything wrong, they would rush out in an instant.
Pang Tong also gave a helpless smile.
He didn't want Liu Qi to go there in person, but he couldn't change what Liu Qi had decided.

Now he could only pray that Zhang He would not have any malicious intentions. slowly Liu Qi also came to Zhang He.
There was also a hint of surprise in Zhang He's eyes.
Although he felt that Liu Qi had a high chance of coming, he did not expect that it would be so soon.
Not much time had passed since he returned from Pangtong.
It was obviously decided directly.
"I've met the King of Han," Zhang He said with cupped hands.
"No need to be polite, as you wish, I'm here in person," Liu Qi said lightly.
"Isn't the King of Han afraid that if he comes, he won't be able to go back?"
Zhang He stared at Liu Qi and said.
His hand was also placed on the sword, as if he was about to attack if he disagreed.
Liu Qi grinned and said: "If it were before, I would not be too sure, but when General Zhang said this, I can be sure that General Zhang will not take action."
"Although I consider myself inferior to General Zhang in terms of force, it is not easy for General Zhang to capture me.
I think it is possible to hold on until rescue arrives."
His tone was also full of confidence.
Hear the words.
Zhang He also fell silent.
He also knew that Liu Qi was not Yuan Shao and was not weak in terms of force.
He was confident that he could defeat Liu Qi, but that would take time and could not be accomplished instantly.
However, as Liu Qi said, he had no intention of taking action, otherwise he would not have said it.
Instead, when Liu Qi arrived, he had already taken action directly.
Let the thoughts go from your mind.
Zhang He stared at Liu Qi closely and said, "I don't know how the King of Han views the word loyalty and righteousness."
Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang He to ask such a question.
After reacting, he sighed: "It is indeed a bit difficult to explain the word loyalty and righteousness.
The book is just a general definition.
Different people have different opinions.
It just depends on how to define it."
"The only ones I am loyal to are those I want to protect.
As for the others, they have nothing to do with me."
"And great righteousness is said to be for the people of the world, so that the people can live a stable and peaceful life, so they will compete in the Central Plains, and that is just on the surface.
In order to stand on the side of justice, as for what it is, there is no need to explain clearly, General Zhang should also be able to understand."
"So, the word loyalty is not easy to explain.
It only exists in the heart."
Hear the words Zhang He also fell silent and glanced at Liu Qi.
He could also understand what Liu Qi meant.
Loyalty is not something you say, but how you act on it.
"The King of Han is indeed a sensible man," Zhang He sighed.
Liu Qi just smiled and said: "General Zhang, you should have made a decision in your mind, right?
Submitting to me will not be the same as under Yuan Shao, and you will definitely be able to experience a different Central Plains land in your lifetime, not to mention , our army captured the land of Yecheng, Yuan Shao and others’ plan could not succeed, and it was only a matter of time to capture the land of Jizhou.”
"Yuan Shao no longer has the ambition of the past, and he can no longer stop the conquest of our army and cavalry."
His tone was full of determination and confidence.
"Meet the Lord" Zhang He got off his horse and bowed his head.
He had already made his decision under Pang Tong's persuasion, and just wanted to confirm it.
And he didn't want to continue working under Yuan Shao, who was full of intrigues.
That would be too tiring.

"Haha, Junyi, please get up quickly."
Liu Qi also turned over and dismounted, laughing and helping Zhang He up.
The mood also seemed very happy.
Subsequently.
Zhang He also welcomed Liu Qi and others, as well as more than 3,000 troops and horses, into the city.
The 10,000 defenders in the city are all his troops, and there will be no changes
