That's right, it was Jiang Wei from Shu who led his army into the game, which rekindled hope for the already completely desperate Wu army and injected a dose of heart-boosting medicine into the dying Wu army, allowing them to resurrect.

Without the assistance of the Shu army, the Wu army would have no hope of breaking through the encirclement in Yanziji. Under the attack of the Wei army, the entire army would probably be destroyed. It was the Shu army's move at this critical moment that saved the Wu army in danger of life and death.

This also made the generals of the Wei army sigh. It was a pity that they could only destroy the Wu army in just a little while.

However, Cao Liang did not think so. Obviously, the Shu army's attack was extremely purposeful. In other words, this action was a plot by Jiang Wei. If the Wei army did not force the Wu army into a desperate situation, the Shu army's rescue would not make the Wu people grateful. Therefore, the Shu army's attack was just right. In this way, the Wu people survived the disaster, and naturally they were grateful to the Shu army. Jiang Wei could easily grasp the voice of the coalition forces.

At this time, Wang Jun also sent an urgent report, claiming that the traces of the Shu army were launched on the north bank of the Yangtze River. They set out from Yong'an and advanced east along the river. They have arrived in Xiling, but there is still no sign of stopping and they will continue to advance eastward.

After Wang Jun's naval army destroyed the last water force of Wu, they would send patrol boats to cruise on the Yangtze River every day. In order to block the Yangtze River waterway, if they found that the Wu army had an attempt to cross the river, Wang Jun would mobilize a fleet to attack it. The other could also go deep into the enemy's territory to reconnaise the movements of the Wu army and provide corresponding information for the next actions of the Wei army's infantry and cavalry.

The situation where the Shu army sent troops to Yong'an was quickly grasped. After all, many sections of the roads that the Shu army took were on the riverside, and this was the only passage, and it could not be avoided even if it was wanted. After seeing the cruise ship of the Wei Navy, it immediately reported this important information to Wang Jun. Wang Jun did not dare to delay any delay and quickly reported it to Cao Liang.

In fact, the Wei navy discovered that the Shu army's operations in the Xiling area were earlier than Yanziji. In other words, the Shu army went out of Sichuan this time and divided the troops into two groups. One group went to the Dongting Lake area to rescue Lu Anti, while the other group rushed directly to Jiangling, with the target directly aiming at the capital of Jingzhou.

The importance of Jiangling is naturally self-evident. Lu Kang fled west from Wuchang and his destination was Jiangling. Cao Liang sent Du Yu's 50,000 troops across Yunmengze, and his target was also directed to Jiangling. Therefore, after Jiang Wei left Sichuan, he immediately led his troops to advance eastward, and naturally he also locked his target in Jiangling City.

In the snatch of Jiangling, the Shu army obviously seized the initiative. The Wei army had two groups of troops. The Shibao army on the south route was mainly responsible for pursuing the Lu Anti-Japanese army, while the Du Yu army on the north route was deeply trapped in Yunmengze, even far away from Jiangling.

Jiang Wei's men went straight to Jiangling without any obstacles. Obviously, some consensus had been reached between Jiang Wei and Lu Kang. In Jiang Wei's army, there were Wu people leading the way, so it was so smooth.

Jiangling is the capital of Jingzhou, and it is stored in a large amount of food, grass and weapons. Once these materials fall into Jiang Wei's hands, Jiang Wei will be like a tiger and become even more unstoppable.

But it seemed that the Wei army wanted to compete with Jiang Wei for Jiangling. Du Yu's army was still a long way from Jiangling and could not reach it within at least a few days.

However, the better news is that although Shi Bao gave up pursuing Lu Kang, he led his troops to the Public Security Bureau. The Public Security Bureau is not too far away from Jiangling. One is on the south bank and the other is on the north bank. If Shi Bao's army can cross the Yangtze River smoothly, it will be only a few dozen miles away from Jiangling. For the Wei army, which has already controlled the Yangtze River's water control power, crossing the river is not difficult.

So Cao Liang immediately adjusted his strategic deployment and transferred all Wang Jun's naval forces to the public security to assist Shi Bao's army in crossing the river. Since Lu Kang could no longer catch up, he might as well give up temporarily. The Wei army will concentrate its efforts and take the lead in taking Jiangling.

At the same time, Cao Liang also ordered Du Yu to accelerate his advancement. If the entire army was really difficult to advance, he could use the method of dividing troops to advance. He first sent a light-equipped team to Jiangling to assist the Shibao army in an offensive against Jiangling City, and strive to seize Jiangling from Jiang Wei before the Lu Anti-Japanese army arrived in Jiangling.

The important purpose of the Wei army blocking the Yangtze River waterway was to prevent the Lu Kang from arriving in Jiangling. This plan seemed to be successful after the Battle of Baqiu. After all, the Wei army had indeed blocked the waterway from Baqiu to Wu Gorge, and the Wu army basically had no chance to cross the river.

But now after the Shu army sent troops, the situation has changed again. Although the Wei Navy firmly controlled the Yangtze River waterway, the Wu army could completely detour through land and cross the river from Yong'an or other sections of the river. Then the Wei army would be out of reach and could not stop it.

Theoretically, the Wei Navy could continue to go up the river and penetrate deep into the territory of Shu. However, the Yangtze River was wide in the lower reaches of the middle reaches, while the upper reaches of Shu is full of rapids and dangerous shoals, and large warships are difficult to pass through. Only some small warships can penetrate deep into the territory of Shu.

But in this way, it would be difficult for the Wei Navy to control the situation, not to mention that the Wei army did not have so many warships and troops to garrison in sections, so once the Wu army entered the territory of Shu, the interception plan was basically failed.

However, if Lu Kang wants to detour Shu, he will have to walk a long way, which will delay a lot in time. However, the Wei army can directly cross the river from a straight line and launch an attack on Jiangling City. From this point of view, the Wu army is at an obvious disadvantage.

Therefore, while Cao Liang's order to Wang Jun, in addition to letting him transfer the main force of the navy to the public security, he also had to continue to strengthen the blockade of the Yangtze River waterway, and the Wu army must not cross the river in Jiangling or Xiling.

Let Lu Kang walk around the mountain slowly. When he arrives in Jiangling, Jiangling City will probably be easy to defend.

Although it is not possible to accurately grasp how many troops Jiang Wei brought to Jiangling, according to the strength of the Shu army stationed in Yong'an and the part of the troops led by Luo Xian to rescue Lu Kang, Jiang Wei's troops led by him would not exceed 20,000.

Shi Bao led an army of 30,000, plus Du Yu's 50,000 troops who could arrive in Jiangling in the next few days. The entire establishment of the Wei Army's Right Legion will join the Jiangling siege. With Wang Jun's naval force, the Wei army still has a considerable advantage in this battle.
