Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 401 Zhang He Zhang Junyi

Chaoge...

The imperial capital of the Shang Dynasty has experienced the washing of time, and it no longer exists as an imperial capital, but only Yuan Shao's territory.

And in Chaoge, there are [-] soldiers stationed there, as well as General Zhang He.

This also sent Zhang Yun to the frontier and protected Yecheng. After all, Yecheng has rich merchant families like the Zhen family that create benefits for him.

Although Yuan Shao was jealous of the Zhen family's money, he didn't take it forcibly, as that would only make him lose his prestige.

You must know that the Zhen family did not do anything out of the ordinary, and they obeyed his policies very much. They didn't have any chance to do anything, so they could only let it develop.

Chaoge City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang He was sitting in the hall, reading slowly with a book in one hand, and a cup of hot tea beside him.

It seems very leisurely.

Of course, this is also because in Chaoge, there is nothing he needs to be busy with, everything is in order.

This is also due to the fact that he can't reuse it, so he can live a somewhat leisurely life.

Otherwise, with the current situation, they would not have come here to guard Chaoge.

And this time.

A guard came in from outside the hall.

"What's the matter?" Zhang He raised his head and said.

"Back to the general, there is a person outside the mansion claiming to be the envoy of the King of Han, asking to see the general!" The guard clasped his hands and replied.

heard.

An envoy from the King of Han?Liu Qi?

Zhang Xi also frowned, he never thought that someone from Liu Qi would come to him, and it was still in the current situation.

After concentrating for a moment, he said, "Let him in!"

He wanted to see why Liu Qi sent someone here.

Now he didn't know that Liu Qi not only sent people here, but also arrived near Chaoge, and was leading an army to Chaoge.

"promise!"

The guard also bowed his hands, and retreated out. He didn't think about why Zhang Yun wanted to meet the enemy's envoy.

Those who can guard the City Lord's Mansion are also Zhang He's cronies.

Wait for the guard to go out.

Zhang Xi also put down the books in his hands, and began to meditate. Various thoughts appeared in his mind, but he couldn't guess the real purpose of Liu Qi's sending people here.

And now Liu Qi should be worried.

"Meet General Zhang!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

It also pulled Zhang Xi back from his contemplation.

It turned out that the guards had already ushered him in.

I see.

The man brought in by the guards was dressed like a scribe, and his face looked a bit ugly.

See the appearance of the person.

"Are you Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan?" Zhang He blurted out.

Scholar, ugly looking, under Liu Qi's command, there is only one person.

"It's right here!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

When Zhang He was paying attention to him, why wasn't he paying attention to Zhang He.

Moreover, Zhang Xi didn't have any changes because of his appearance, but when he thought of who he was, he had a look of surprise, which also made him look up.

You must know that many people have disgusted expressions because of his appearance.

After getting Liu Qi's affirmation, he also directly left the main force and galloped towards Chaoge on horseback, which was much faster than Liu Qi leading the troops and horses.

"I don't know why you came to Chaoge?" Zhang He didn't say much, and asked straight to the point.

"Is this how General Zhang treats guests? And I'm here to rescue General Zhang!" Pang Tong said with a smile, without much change.

"Guest? Messenger Pang, don't forget that now your lord, the King of Han, has sent a letter of conquest against my lord, which is a hostile relationship!" Zhang He looked at Pang Tong and said seriously, "And what Messenger Pang wants to care about, It should be whether you can get through the current predicament, how can you talk about saving me? And whether you can leave Chaoge, Envoy Pang, is still unknown!"

There was also a stern look in his eyes.

however.

Zhang Xi found that Pang Tong hadn't changed because of his language, and he still looked confident.

"Does General Zhang really think so?" Pang Tong also looked directly at Zhang Yun.

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.

a while……

"Envoy Pang, please sit down!" Zhang He said with a gesture of invitation.

Pang Tong was not pretentious either, he walked to the side and sat under Zhang Xi's hands.

"Envoy Pang, can you tell me now, what is the matter of coming to Chaoge today?" Zhang He stared at Pang Tong and asked.

"Of course!" Pang Tong nodded.

However, when I want to go on.

A guard rushed in from the outside with an anxious expression on his face.

"Report, general, the enemy army was found five miles outside the city. They are soldiers and horses of the King of Han, with thousands of them!!" The guard said quickly.

heard.

"what?"

Zhang Yun stood up directly from his seat, and looked at Pang Tong who was sitting next to him.

On the other hand, Pang Tong was sitting there with great concentration, not panicking because of it, nor avoiding Zhang Xi's gaze, with a faint smile on his face.

Taking a deep breath, he said to the guards, "Close the city gate and prepare the soldiers to meet the enemy!"

"promise!"

The guard also knew that the situation was urgent, so he cupped his hands, turned around and ran out to the hall, ready to convey Zhang Xi's order.

After the guards ran out.

Zhang Yun didn't sit down either, and looked at Pang Tong.

"General Zhang, don't be nervous, my lord will not approach Chaoge, otherwise, he would not have let me come!" Pang Tong said without avoiding Zhang Xi's gaze.

"Envoy Pang, can you tell us about your reason for coming?" Zhang He said.

His eyes froze, and he also heard Pang Tong say the word 'my lord', which means that the thousands of soldiers who arrived were led by Liu Qi himself.

As for Puyang...

In such a situation, he also knew that the conspiracy must be not small, and he did not give up trying to seize Jizhou because of the Dongjun incident.

To support the army, food and other supplies are needed, and it is not far from Chaoge, which is where Yecheng is located...

thought here.

Without waiting for Pang Tong to reply, Zhang He fell down on his seat as if he had no strength, looked at Pang Tong, and said with a wry smile, "You intend to stay in Yecheng, and Chaoge is just passing by, right?"

"What General Zhang said is true. Our army is divided into two groups. One is led by General Ma to take Yecheng. I think it has already taken Yecheng; the other is led by my lord to come to Chaoge. It is not enough to just take Yecheng. Anwen, Chaoge has General Zhang stationed there!" Pang Tong said directly without hiding anything.

And now there is no need to hide.

After listening to Pang Tong's words.

Zhang Xi also smiled wryly, the defenders of Yecheng were not like him, because he was there, so they arranged scouts five miles away from the city.

What's more, Ma Chao, one of the four generals under Liu Qi's command, was attacking Yecheng. He didn't need to wait for news, and he could know the end of Yecheng.

With the occurrence of this accident, Yuan Shao's plan will no longer be possible to succeed.

As Yuan Shao's subordinate, he didn't know what it was like.
