Li Jingwei's death did not affect Gao Jichong's previous decision. On the 26th day of December in the ninth lunar calendar of Xiande, Wang Kunjun led the army to Jingmen, a hundred miles north of Jiangling City, and Gao Jichong hurriedly sent his uncle Gao Baoyin and the general Liang Yansi to meet and reward the three armies with a large number of wine, meat and gifts.

Gao Jichong's reaction was not only expected by Wang Kunjun, but also the most in line with his needs. Therefore, after Wang Kunjun was rewarded, he put on his national robe, set up all the honor guards, and took the initiative to take his subordinate generals Zuo Ying out of the camp, which can be regarded as giving the other party enough faces. For Wang Kunjun to go out of the camp to greet him, Gao Baoyin and Liang Yansi were flattered and didn't even dare to say it. Wang Kunjun didn't care about this, and after greeting each other very warmly, he walked hand in arm with Gao Baoyin and happily entered the barracks together. Not long after, a feast was held in the camp to entertain Gao Baoyin, Liang Yansi and other Nanping (Jingnan) officials.

At the beginning, in the face of Wang Kunjun, Qian Yuanshan and others, who were famous and famous, defeated the Khitan army of nearly 300,000 with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and almost wiped out the opponent's army, Gao Baoyin and Liang Yansi were still somewhat restrained and unable to let go. However, under the warm greetings and frequent persuasion of Wang Kunjun, Qian Yuanshan, and other generals and subordinates of the "Jinghu Expeditionary Army", Gao Baoyin, Liang Yansi, and other Nanping (Jingnan) officials soon relaxed, talked more, and raised their glasses diligently. The atmosphere at the banquet is getting more and more enthusiastic, the distance between each other is getting smaller and smaller, and the relationship is getting closer and closer.

Under the circumstance that Wang Kunjun and others deliberately did it, this banquet began at the end of the time and lasted until the beginning of the time, which lasted for nearly an hour and a half. Seeing that Wang Kunjun, Qian Yuanshan and others treated him so warmly and friendly, he was still a little worried, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to detain him, and Gao Baoyin, who forced his nephew to sacrifice Jiangling Mansion, was also completely relieved, and secretly glad that his nephew did not change his original intention because of Li Jingwei's suicide. Otherwise, I'm afraid that now I will not be Wang Kunjun's guest but a prisoner.

It was precisely because of his steadfastness that he asked Wang Kunjun to stay for one more day and set off with the army early the next morning, Gao Baoyin and Liang Yansi, who also thought that the Zhou army had no malicious intentions, did not refuse, but gladly accepted it, and sent his cronies back to Jiangling City to inform Gao Jichong.

Gao Baoyin and Liang Yansi were enjoying the comfort and comfort of the guests here, but they didn't know that at the same time that the two of them and Wang Kunjun entered the camp, Zeng Zhilin, another deputy general of the "Jinghu Expeditionary Army", had already led a company of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" and the main force of the Fourth Synthetic Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army" to leave the camp and march towards Jiangling City at the speed of a rapid march. Moreover, because Gao Jichong had not ordered the troops along the way to be on guard before, he had repeatedly warned his generals not to interfere with or obstruct the Zhou army's movement around the city. Therefore, Zeng Zhilin's troops were not hindered by the Nanping (Jingnan) army along the way, until they advanced to less than thirty miles away from Jiangling City, Gao Jichong, who had been waiting for his uncle and confidant to return, was a little panicked, and hurriedly led a group of his men out of the city to greet him.

Facing Gao Jichong, who was full of panic, Zeng Zhilin, who had already made a plan, first dismounted and fell to the ground, and then told the other party with a pleasant face that he was the vanguard officer of the army, and was sent by Wang Kunjun, the commander of the army, to take the lead in opening up the road to Langzhou City for the army to go south. The other party's uncle Gao Baoyin and general Liang Yansi were discussing with their own commander Wang Kunjun in the camp of the counterinsurgency army at this time about Jingnan providing some grain and grass for the army, and wanted to come together after the discussion, and asked Gao Jichong to wait here for a while, and then return to the city with Wang Kunjun after the main force of the army caught up.

After listening to Zeng Zhilin's explanation, Gao Jichong felt a little relieved. Although I don't know how much grain and grass Zhou Jun needs from his side, and when his uncle and Liang Aiqing, Liang Yanhei, will discuss with each other, since Wang Kunjun has deployed him to stay here for a while, it won't take too long. Therefore, after seeing off Zeng Zhilin, who was in a hurry, Gao Jichong did not return to the city, but led a group of his subordinates to wait for Wang Kunjun, who was "coming later" next to the official road.

Here, Gao Jichong and a group of civil and military officials in Nanping (Jingnan) waited hard for Wang Kunjun, but over there, Zeng Zhilin had already led a company of the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" and the fourth synthetic infantry division of the "Flying Dragon Army" to rush to the city of Jiangling. Because Gao Jichong had not only ordered all soldiers and horses in Nanping (Jingnan) not to obstruct the passage of the Zhou army, but also in order to avoid misunderstanding of the Zhou army, he did not order his own soldiers and horses to be on guard. Therefore, at this time, the defenders of Jiangling City were still on duty according to the usual state, the city gate was wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the people of Nanping (Jingnan) went in and out as usual, without any defense.

In the face of such a favorable situation, if Zeng Zhilin can't catch it anymore, then he should really find a piece of tofu and kill him. So, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders of Nanping (Jingnan) at the north gate of Jiangling City had not yet reacted, Zeng Zhilin's department immediately launched an operation. First by the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" a company with lightning speed to take the north gate, and quickly control the left side of the city gate, and then the "Flying Dragon Army" The main force of the fourth composite infantry division rushed into the city at the fastest speed, the troops were divided into multiple routes, and quickly occupied various key points under the guidance of the "dark feather" spies in the city who had been waiting for a long time, and it took less than an hour to firmly control the entire Gangneung City in their own hands. During this period, there was no resistance from the defenders of the city, nor did it cause panic and uneasiness among the people in the city, and the soldiers completed the skillful capture of Gangneung City without blood.

So, when Gao Jichong waited for Wang Kunjun for a long time, and returned to Jiangling City with a group of civil and military officers full of doubts, he was frightened to find that within two or three hours of his departure, Jiangling City was not only full of banners of the Great Zhou and the "Flying Dragon Army", but also the city was also full of soldiers and generals of the Great Zhou "Flying Dragon Army" with bright armor, capable and strong expressions.

Just when Gao Jichong was full of horror and didn't know what to do. I could only hear the roar of hooves behind me, and I looked back, but I saw that under the billowing smoke and dust, an army of tens of thousands of horses under the banner of Da Zhou and the "Flying Dragon Army" had arrived in front of him. And under the banner of the word "Wang", his uncle Gao Baoyin and his favorite general Liang Yansi were talking to one of the two generals, the Great Zhou, and looked at them with ugly expressions.

Seeing that the general who was obviously the commander of the Zhou army looked at him with a serious face and cold eyes, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him and the "Flying Dragon Army" in the city also showed a murderous aura at this time, Gao Jichong and his civil and military officials would really become idiots if they still didn't understand what was going on. So, while feeling regretful and lucky in his heart that he did not listen to Li Jingwei's advice, Gao Jichong hurriedly sent someone to Jiedu Mansion to get the document seal, and greeted him with a face full of fear, bowed down in front of Wang Kunjun's horse, held the document seal high, and dedicated it to the other party, saying that Nanping (Jingnan) would give up all autonomous rights and interests from now on, and sincerely merge under the rule of the Great Zhou, and no longer dare to have any wrong thoughts.

Seeing this, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and said to Gao Jichong: "Gao Jiedu's official position is canonized by decree of the imperial court. Now, although Jiedu is willing to hand over the seal of military power, it is not up to the public to decide. The guild immediately sent people to Pegasus to Beijing to ask the officials to decide. Before the arrival of the imperial court's will, Gao Jiedu was still the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, and the Jingnan Prefecture Army such as Jiangling Prefecture, Guizhou, Xiazhou, and Jingmen Army were still governed by Gao Jiedu and Jingnan Civil and Military Attaché. ”

Seeing that Wang Kunjun's expression was much soothing when he spoke, and his tone was also very peaceful, he did not take the seal ribbon he offered to him on the spot, but let himself continue to govern Nanping (Jingnan) until the Great Zhou official family had new arrangements for him. Gao Jichong, who was originally anxious, was a little relieved in his heart, and on the one hand, he took back the seal ribbon in a sincere fear, and on the other hand, he respectfully invited Wang Kunjun into the city, and held a banquet in his mansion to entertain the other party and his subordinates.

The "Jinghu Expeditionary Army" continued to move south after resting in Jiangling City for five days, and on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the tenth lunar calendar of Xiande, the fourth army came to the junction of Nanping (Jingnan) and Wuping (Hunan).
