Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 219 Berkshire Battle Report
After Huang Zhong persuaded Yan Yan to surrender, he took Berkshire without a single soldier.

Because of Yan Yan's surrender and persuasion, it became very easy to subdue the surrendered army. The [-] Jingzhou vanguard army also increased to [-] soldiers and horses. Early the next morning, Ren Yanyan led [-] soldiers and horses as the front army. Zhong led [-] soldiers and horses as the rear army, and left Bajun City in a mighty way, heading 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 marching speed of the [-] soldiers and horses he led was not fast, and they stopped and went.

Although he was walking slowly, he still rushed to the boundary of Fuling now, and it would only take one day to leave Berkshire City according to the current marching speed. If he marched fast, he would be able to arrive in half a day.

Fuling City.

When Huang Zhong attacked Bajun City, he had already taken it, and it became the territory of Jingzhou, and the flag of Jingzhou was hung on the city wall.

Liu Qi led the army to arrive, and did not enter the city, but set up camp ten miles outside the city, ready to break out of the camp at any time, and lead the army to Bajun.

On a hillside not far from the camp with banners and banners.

There were three people drinking tea and chatting and laughing on the hillside, and there were dozens of soldiers in red clothes and black armor holding sabers at the foot of the hillside, guarding and watching the surrounding situation.

The three people on the hillside are Liu Qi, Guo Jia, and Kuai Liang.

"My lord, it's only a day away from Berkshire. I wonder if General Huang can take down Berkshire before I arrive?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.

Kuai Liang also nodded. After all, it has been so long, and their marching pace has slowed down a lot. Otherwise, they would have rushed to Berkshire and approached the city, but they have not received any news from Huang Zhong.

Liu Qi picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, isn't there a day left? If Han Sheng really can't take Bajun City, he can take Bajun City when the army arrives, my The pace cannot be stopped by a Berkshire town!"

The breeze blew, blowing from behind Liu Qi, and the hair fluttered with the wind.

The very confident words also made Guo Jia and Kuai Liang feel like they were in the same body.

Kuai Liangliang seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Master, why don't we choose to go up the river, so that 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, "Lord Kuai, except for the [-] rebuilt Jingzhou navy, the rest of the Jingzhou army are horse infantry and are not familiar with water warfare. , if you encounter an attack on the way, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be defeated by one blow!"

"This subordinate is stupid!" Kuai Liang clapped his hands and said.

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, he also understood why he didn't take the waterway. Although the waterway can be reached directly, the risk is also increased several times.

Liu Qi nodded, agreeing with Guo Jia's idea. Although Jiangxia's [-] navy can be transferred to attack Yizhou, this problem can be solved. Jingzhou's navy can be rebuilt, which is the capital of the future conquest of Jiangdong , It is also a barrier to prevent 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 [-] Jingzhou navy, even if Sun Quan has not stabilized his position in Jiangdong now, Zhou Yu will not let go of this opportunity, directly lead the Jiangdong navy, go up the river, bypass Jiangxia, and go straight to Jingzhou. It doesn't matter if you take Jiangxia, you can go directly to Jiangling, and then approach the city of Jingzhou.

Then why bother to attack Jiangxia City.

At this time, a rider galloped towards the hillside.

Liu Qi and the others also stopped talking.

I saw that the cavalryman rode his horse down the hill, got off his horse, and ran up the hill quickly after the blood-clothed guard verified his identity.

"Report, General Huang has already captured the city of Bajun, and I specially asked my subordinates to come forward to present the battle report!" The cavalryman took out the letter from his arms, held it up with both hands, and bowed down.

heard.

Liu Qi, Guo Jia, and Kuai Liang all showed delighted expressions.

Kuai Liang stood up, walked in front of 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 didn't hesitate either, took the letter, opened it, read it slowly, and the joy on his brow grew stronger.

"Haha, the event has been decided!" Liu Qi laughed loudly.

Kuai Liang and Guo Jia didn't know why they were so happy to see Liu Qi. Although they were happy to win Berkshire, it wouldn't be like this. You must know that there are many cities behind Berkshire.

Liu Qi saw that the two men were like this, but he waved his hand to let the cavalry retreat, and handed the letter in his hand to Guo Jia and Kuai Liang to read.

Seeing the news in the letter, he was also very pleasantly surprised. It was just a gamble that Huang Zhong could subdue Yan Yan, which would save a lot of things. From the beginning of planning for Huang Zhong to attack Berkshire , his goal is not to break through Berkshire, but to subdue Yan Yan.

If it wasn't for this purpose, he could have directly led the army to the city, instead of marching slowly now and delaying it for so long, but luckily he didn't disappoint.

After reading the letter, Guo Jia and Kuai Liang also became excited. Huang Zhong did not hide anything in the letter, and also wrote down the strategy offered by Yan Yan.

"My lord, if this is the case, our army will be able to rush directly to Luocheng and take Chengdu directly from Berkshire without spending a single soldier!"

Kuai Liang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, his voice was full of joy.

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it. It can be better than this news. Once it is true, then most of the land of Xichuan can be won without a single soldier. , and then when the soldiers came to Chengdu, there was only Luocheng as an obstacle.

Looking at the excited Guo Jia and Kuai Liang, Liu Qi didn't think it was strange either. He himself was also very excited now. Sure enough, it's good to gamble sometimes. If you fail, you can't lose, and 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 and rest in Berkshire tonight!"

"No!" Guo Jia and Kuai Liang clasped their hands together.

Subsequently.

Liu Qi took Guo Jia, Kuai Liang, and dozens of blood-clothed guards, left the hill and rushed back to the camp.

soon
Settled in the big camp ten miles outside Fuling City, they pulled out their strongholds, and tens of thousands of troops left here in a mighty way, heading straight for Berkshire City.

Yan Yan and Huang Zhong led [-] soldiers and horses ahead to open the way, and they could lead the army all the way to Luocheng without stopping or fighting.
