Under the dim moonlight, a tragic breakthrough battle had just ended in the wilderness outside the Xiying. Yu Jin and Zang Ba led 4,000 tribes to break through. Under the intensive interception of rounds of arrows, more than half of the four thousand Cao troops were killed, but Yu Jin and Zang Ba still led hundreds of people to break out and fled westward.

Without the general's leadership, the remaining Cao army soldiers no longer had the will to resist and would die if they broke through the siege. When they retreated to the camp, they would be burned to death. They had no choice but to surrender. Tens of thousands of Cao army soldiers knelt all over the wilderness and placed their hands on their heads.

"We surrender! Surrender!"

The sound of surrender echoed throughout the wilderness, and large groups of soldiers fell to the ground. Teams of Jiangxia soldiers walked through prisoners of war, confiscated weapons, and suppressed the enemy troops who were trying to resist. At this time, more than a dozen Jiangxia soldiers pushed Cao's commander Zhao Yan to Liu Jing.

It is unbelievable to say that Cao's army had internal conflicts while running away. Outside the gate of Xiying, there was a conflict because of the battle. Zhao Yan and more than 100 of his personal soldiers were surrounded by thousands of angry Cao's soldiers. Most of the more than 100 personal soldiers were killed. At the critical moment, Zhao Yan was rescued by Jiangxia soldiers and also became a prisoner of war for Jiangxia's army.

Zhao Yan was pushed to Liu Jing and stood proudly. The soldiers around him shouted loudly: "Kneel down!"

Zhao Yan snorted, but ignored him. At this time, Liu Jing waved his hand and said to his left and right: "Let him loose!"

The personal soldier loosened Zhao Yan's ties, and Liu Jing smiled and said, "Zhao Hujun, I will give you a choice. If you want to go back, I will let you go. If you are willing to serve me, I will appoint you as the Zhizhong of Jingzhou. I will exchange your family, wife and children for Prime Minister Cao. How about it?"

Zhao Yan lowered his head and pondered for a long time. The 30,000 Cao troops in Anlu County were wiped out in his hands. He had no face to see Cao Cao. He also knew that he was deeply hated by Cao's army. He sighed, knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to serve the governor of the state!"

Liu Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and smiled and said, "Liu Jing has long heard of the name of the Lord. Today I am honored to be the Lord! "

Zhao Yan thought that he had defected to Liu Biao and left. After thirteen years, he returned to Jingzhou. This was destined. He smiled bitterly, "Zhao Yan would do his best to serve the provincial governor."

Liu Jing ordered his personal soldiers to take Zhao Yan back to the boat to change clothes and rest. At this time, he asked his left and right again: "But who caught Sima Yi?"

Compared with Zhao Yan, Liu Jing valued Sima Yi more. If he got Sima Yi, he would be no less than Zhuge Liang, and he could fight against Zhuge Liang. This time it was a great opportunity to seize Sima Yi. If he lost it, he would regret it too late.

The personal soldiers went around and asked around and came back to report: "Report to the provincial governor, no one saw Sima Yi!"

Liu Jing was secretly surprised. Did Sima Yi follow Yu Jin and Zang Ba to break through?

At this moment, someone laughed loudly in the distance and said, "Prince, I'll come and receive the reward!"

This was Gan Ning's voice. Liu Jing changed his mind. Could it be that Sima Yi did not break through the Xiying, but broke through the north? He immediately asked: "Did Xingba catch Sima Yi?"

“That’s right!”

Gan Ning turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, followed several soldiers behind him, and walked in with him. It was Sima Yi.

Liu Jing was overjoyed and patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and smiled: "Xingba did not disappoint me!"

Gan Ning pointed to Shi Chang behind him and several soldiers and smiled, "It was these brothers who caught Sima Yi."

Liu Jing smiled and said to Shi Chang and Xiaobing who caught Sima Yi: "I will keep my promise and give you a great reward, but the reward should be distributed to you by General Gan, let's go down first!"

Shi Chang couldn't help but grin and thought to himself, if he passed by Gan Ning's hand, he would definitely give half of the reward to other soldiers and a small part of the remaining one to him.

But it would be good to have a reward. Maybe he could be promoted one level. He knelt down with a few soldiers to thank for the reward and retreated.

At this time, Liu Jing walked up to Sima Yi, loosened his ties, looked at him and said with a smile: "I don't care about capturing 20,000 prisoners of war, but capturing Zhongda is my wish!"

Sima Yi silently moved his numb wrists and sneered: "Sima Yi is a mediocre person, how dare he be valued by Liu Zhoumu?"

Liu Jing asked again: "It's over, can Zhongda be willing to serve Jiang Xia?"

Sima Yi turned north, with his hands behind his back and said nothing. The soldiers around him were furious and were about to scold him. Liu Jing waved his hand to stop the soldiers and smiled and said, "I'm asking abruptly. Zhongda will consider it again!"

Of course Liu Jing would not let him go. Didn’t Jia Xu refuse to surrender at the beginning? Moreover, Sima Yi didn’t serve Cao Cao for a long time, and he was far from being loyal to Cao Cao like Cheng Yu and Xun Yu. At this time, he refused to surrender, more for a kind of dignity.

As long as he is given time to think slowly, I believe he will change his mind. Liu Jing turned around and ordered his side, "Take Mr. Sima down to rest, and do not neglect it!"

Sima Yi said nothing and turned around and hurried away with his personal soldiers. Liu Jing turned around and looked at more than 20,000 prisoners of war. The capital was enough and he could go and talk to Sun Quan. He immediately ordered: "Escort prisoners of war onto the ship, pack up the battlefield, and move away all the food and food!"

Although Yu Jin and Zang Ba led hundreds of people to break through the siege and escape, most of the Cao army soldiers were not as lucky as them. In the hazy morning light, groups of captured Cao army soldiers were dejected and driven onto the ship by the Jiangxia army. After fighting overnight, more than 25,000 people became prisoners of war for the Jiangxia army.

The piles of food and supplies were brought onto the big ship. Liu Jing stood at the bow of the main ship, staring coldly at the large group of Cao army prisoners passing by him. Wen Pin next to him laughed and said, "So many laborers, I'm afraid Xu Changshi will be unable to sleep with a smile."

"Zhongye is right, it is most appropriate for these prisoners of war to mine copper ore."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing turned around and looked at Jia Xu. Seeing him standing on the other side of the ship, staring at the prisoners of war walking downstairs, seemingly worried. Liu Jing understood his feelings, so he slowly walked up and smiled, "Do you feel guilty, sir?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "If I feel guilty, I won't come. I just look at these captured soldiers and feel an indescribable sense of loss."

Liu Jing smiled faintly and said, "It is actually a blessing to be captured on the battlefield."

"That's true. Perhaps it's because I'm getting older. Thinking of their family looking around the door, I feel a little reluctant." Jia Xu smiled bitterly.

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Before this, the prisoners of war we captured were generally used for exchanges, and the exchanges would decrease and in the future. According to convention, prisoners of war were generally slaves. However, it was really too cruel to let prisoners of war be slaves for life. Set a system! You can be free after three years of labor."

Jia Xu sighed, "Young master's heart is always admirable!"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu's mood also improved. He asked with a smile: "I heard that Zhao Yan has surrendered to the provincial governor, and Sima Yi has also been arrested. What will the provincial governor do to deal with him?"

"They are all talented people. Although Zhao Yan was defeated, his talent was not about leading troops to fight, but about training troops. So I appointed him as the governor, in charge of training and training troops. As for Sima Yi."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing laughed, "I spent five thousand taels of gold for him, so he should naturally be valued. If he was willing to surrender to me, I would use him as a counselor."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "It's not that easy to make him surrender! I have a good relationship with his father. Do you want me to persuade him for the provincial governor?"

Liu Jing was overjoyed and bowed to Jia Xu, "Please give me everything."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "Give me time, I'll persuade him slowly."

At this time, a personal soldier rushed over and reported to Liu Jing: "I have reported to the provincial governor, and more than a dozen local elderly people are asking to see the provincial governor!"

Liu Jing nodded and said to Jia Xu: "I will leave Sima Yi's affairs to the sir, and I will handle the affairs first."

"Prince of the State, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Liu Jing then followed his personal soldiers to hurry down the boat. Jia Xu looked at Liu Jing and walked away, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He didn't know how to persuade Sima Yi, but he didn't know where to start?...

On the river bank, more than a dozen elderly people came down to Liu Jing by Su Fei, the prefect of Anlu County. Su Fei stepped forward and whispered: "This is the three elders from several townships under Anlu County. They are highly respected in Anlu County."

"What's wrong with them?" Liu Jing asked without saying a word.

"They hope our army will stay."

Su Fei turned around and introduced to everyone: "This is Lord Liu Envoy of Jingzhou Governor."

The old men knelt down together, "Little people pay homage to Lord Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing quickly asked his personal soldiers to help them up and said to everyone with a smile: "Dear elders and sisters have any requirements, even if you have them, as long as Liu Jing can do it, they will definitely help everyone."

An old man cried and said, "I beg you not to leave us. If Cao's army arrives, he will kill us to vent his anger."

Liu Jing was a little embarrassed for a moment. He did not want to retake Anlu County at this time. It was not that he was worried that Cao Cao would lead the army to retaliate. It was because if there were few soldiers in Anlu County, it would be meaningless. If there were many soldiers, it would be annihilated by Cao's army, causing unnecessary losses. Leaving Anlu County behind him could disperse Cao's army's forces.

At this time, he saw Wen Pin winking at him, then walked to Wen Pin and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"

"Qi Bingzhou Governor, his subordinates have a plan that may solve this problem."

"What plan do you think?"

"I think we can station troops in Yunyang County. As a wedge inserted in Jiangbei, it will definitely play a role in defeating Cao's army in the future."

This plan made Liu Jing quite moved. Yunyang County is located in Yunmeng Ze, surrounded by wetlands and water sieves. The water flows through it again. To attack Yunyang County, you must take the water route. If it is the Jiangdong Army, there may be no problem, but if it is the Cao army who is not good at water battles, it will not be so easy to capture Yunyang County.

Wen Pin continued: "You can move the residents of Yunyang County and build some fortifications. As long as two thousand troops are stationed, you can completely withstand the attack of ten thousand people."

Seeing that Wenpin's eyes showed an expectant expression, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Then I will leave it to you in Yunyang County."

Wen Pin was overjoyed and immediately bowed and said, "I am willing to station in Yunyang County!"

Liu Jing walked back and said to Su Fei and a dozen old men: "Let's do this! The residents of Anlu County moved to Xiakou temporarily, and this matter will be left to the prefect Su. At the latest, there will be a fleet to assist in the migration the day after tomorrow. If the army needs help, you can discuss it with General Wen in detail."
