Huang Chao re-launched his attack on Jiangxi, and succeeded in capturing the prefectures of Qizhou, Jizhou, Raozhou and Xuzhou. After that, he crossed the Changjiang River at Xuanzhou with the intention of going to Fujian via Zhejiang. However, because he did not have any boats, he ordered tunnels to be dug over a distance of five hundred li so that he could go by land to Jianzhou, and consequently captured all the prefectures in central Fujian.
