After Huang Zhong persuaded Yan Yan to surrender, he captured Bajun without spending a single soldier.
Because of Yan Yan's surrender and persuasion, it became very easy to subdue the surrendering army.
The 5,000 Jingzhou vanguard army also increased to 8,000 soldiers and horses.
Early the next morning, Yan Yan led 3,000 soldiers and horses as the front army.
Huang Zhong led five thousand soldiers and horses as the rear army, and left Bajun City in a mighty manner and headed for Luocheng.
Of course, Huang Zhong also wrote down the matter and sent someone to Liu Qi in the rear to report the battle situation to Liu Qi.
Because Liu Qi wanted to give Huang Zhong time to attack Bajun, the 45,000 troops and horses he led did not march very fast, and they stopped and stopped.
Although walking slowly, it only takes one day to reach the boundary of Fuling and Bajun City according to the current marching speed.
If we march quickly, we can arrive in half a day.
Fuling City.
When Huang Zhong attacked Bajun City, he had already captured it, and it became the territory of Jingzhou.
The flag of Jingzhou was hung on the city walls.
When Liu Qi arrived with his army, he did not enter the city.
Instead, he set up camp ten miles outside the city.
He could break out of camp at any time and lead his army to Bajun.
On a hillside not far from the camp with flags fluttering.
There were three people drinking tea and talking and laughing on the hillside.
At the foot of the hillside, there were dozens of soldiers in red clothes and black armor, guarding with sabers in hand, watching the surrounding situation.
The three people on the hillside were Liu Qi, Guo Jia, and Kuai Liang.
"My lord, we are only one day away from Bajun.
I wonder if General Huang can capture the city of Bajun before we arrive," Guo Jia asked with a smile.
Kuai Liang also nodded.
After all, so much time had passed, and their marching pace had slowed down a lot.
Otherwise, they would have arrived at Bajun long ago and the troops were approaching the city, but they have not received any news from Huang Zhong until now.
Liu Qi picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is still one day, isn't it?
If Han Sheng really can't take Bajun City, he will be able to take Bajun when the army arrives.
My The pace cannot be stopped by Berkshire City."
A gentle breeze blew from behind Liu Qi, causing her hair to flutter in the wind.
The very confident words also made Guo Jia and Kuai Liang feel as if they were physically present.
Kuai Liang seemed to have remembered something and asked: "Lord, why don't we choose to go up the river?
That way we can bypass many cities and reach Luocheng directly without spending a single soldier."
Hearing this, Liu Qi paused, smiled, and did not answer.
Guo Jia on the side smiled and said: "Master Kuai, in the Jingzhou Army, except for the 50,000 rebuilt Jingzhou Navy, the rest are horse infantry.
They are not familiar with water warfare.
Although they are more or less familiar with water, it does not mean that they are familiar with water warfare. , if you encounter an attack on the way, there is no guarantee that you will not be defeated in one blow."
"This subordinate is stupid," Kuai Liang said with his hands in hand.
After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, he understood why he didn't go by water.
Although the waterway could be reached directly, the risk would also increase several times.
Liu Qi nodded and agreed with Guo Jia's idea.
Although Jiangxia's 50,000 navy troops could be transferred to attack Yizhou, that would solve this problem.
However, rebuilding the Jingzhou navy would be the capital to conquer Jiangdong in the future. , is also a barrier that prevents Jiangdong from attacking Jingzhou along the river.
Those are soldiers and horses that cannot be easily mobilized.
Once mobilized, it will affect the whole body.
Without the 50,000 Jingzhou navy, even if Sun Quan has not yet stabilized his position in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu would not let go of such an opportunity and directly led the Jiangdong navy up the river, bypassing Jiangxia and taking Jingzhou directly.
He would not have been able to capture it at that time.

It doesn't matter if we capture Jiangxia.
We can go straight to Jiangling and march to the gates of Jingzhou.
Then why waste troops to attack Jiangxia City.
At this time, a horse came galloping towards the hillside.
Liu Qi and others also stopped talking.
I saw that the cavalryman rode up to the foot of the hillside, dismounted, and after the blood-clothed guard verified his identity, he quickly ran up the hillside.
"Report, General Huang has captured Bajun City.
I specially asked my subordinates to come and submit the battle report."
The cavalryman took out the letter from his arms, held it up with both hands, and knelt down.
Hear the words.
Liu Qi, Guo Jia, and Kuai Liang all looked happy.
Kuai Liang stood up, walked to the kneeling cavalry, took the letter from the cavalry, returned to Liu Qi, held it in both hands, bent down and handed it to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi did not hesitate, took the letter, opened it, and read it slowly, the joy between his eyebrows getting stronger and stronger.
"Haha, the big deal has been decided," Liu Qi laughed.
Kuai Liang and Guo Jia didn't understand why Liu Qi was so happy to see them.
Although they were happy to capture Bajun, it was not like this.
You must know that there were many cities behind Bajun.
Seeing the two men like this, Liu Qi did not explain, waved the cavalry to retreat, and handed the letter in his hand to Guo Jia and Kuai Liang for viewing.
When he saw the news in the letter, he was also very surprised.
It was originally a bet that Huang Zhong could conquer Yan Yan, so that he could avoid a lot of things.
From the beginning, he planned to let Huang Zhong capture Bajun all the way. , his goal is not to conquer Bajun, but to conquer Yan Yan.
If it weren't for this purpose, he could have led the army directly to the city instead of marching slowly now and delaying it for so long.
However, fortunately, he was not disappointed.
Guo Jia and Kuai Liang became excited after reading the letter.
Huang Zhong did not hide anything in the letter and also wrote down the strategy proposed by Yan Yan.
"Lord, if this is really the case, our army can go directly to Luocheng and take Chengdu from Bajun without spending a single soldier."
Kuai Liang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his words were full of joy.
Guo Jia also nodded in agreement.
It can be said that nothing can be better than this news.
Once it is true, it will be possible to capture most of Xichuan without spending a single soldier. , and then when the troops came to Chengdu, the only obstacle left was Luocheng.
Looking at the excited Guo Jia and Kuai Liang, Liu Qi didn't find it strange.
He himself was very excited now.
Sure enough, it's quite good to gamble sometimes.
You can't lose if you fail.
If you succeed, you will gain a lot.
Then he stood up and said: "Go back to the camp and order all the camps to stand up.
We will rest in Bajun City tonight."
"Nuo" Guo Jia and Kuai Liang said with cupped hands.
Subsequently.
Liu Qi took Guo Jia, Kuai Liang, and dozens of blood-clad guards away from the hillside and rushed back to the camp. soon The camp stationed ten miles outside Fuling City was raised, and tens of thousands of troops left the place in a mighty manner and headed straight for Bajun City.
With Yan Yan and Huang Zhong leading eight thousand soldiers and horses in front to clear the way, they could lead the army all the way to Luocheng without any stopovers or any fighting
