Jiang Wei suddenly went to Yong'an, obviously it was not just a simple thing to avoid disaster. If there was nothing Jiang Wei wanted in Yong'an, then Jiang Wei would never have gotten involved.

The Governor of Yong'an, the Governor of Hanzhong, the Governor of Sui, and the Governor of Jiangzhou were collectively known as the Four Governors. They were important garrison towns established by Shu on the border of Wu and Shu. Before and after the Battle of Yiling, the situation in Yong'an was the most tense, and the importance of the Governor of Yong'an was self-evident.

However, after Zhuge Liang took office and reconciled the old relationship with the Eastern Wu, the overall strategic situation of Shu Kingdom moved northward, the status of Yong'an's governor declined a lot, and Yong'an's garrison remained at thousands, and at the most, it exceeded 10,000.

Although the status of Yong'an governor declined, it was not completely reduced. The main reason was Shu's vigilance against Wu. Since Wu had the ambition and action to forcibly annex Jingzhou, how could they know whether they had the intention to annex Yizhou? Therefore, the Shu people did not dare to take it lightly. They had always stationed troops in Yong'an to prevent the invasion of Wu.

Although Shu and Wu were allies, the alliance relationship was very fragile. No one dared to promise that the Wu people had no intention of being second-minded. The Wu people have always been accustomed to being justified in seeing profits. The main reason why they have not broken the alliance now is that they have not found a suitable interest point. If the interests are large enough, the Wu people destroy the alliance and break the agreement is just a matter of raising their hands. They have no psychological burden in this regard.

Similarly, the Shu people had no psychological burden in this regard. Jingzhou was originally the territory of Shu Han, but was taken away by the Wu people with treacherous tricks and deceitful means. Therefore, for the Shu people, especially those from Jingxiang, regaining Jingzhou was something they dreamed of.

However, among the Three Kingdoms, Shu is the weakest. It is so difficult to regain Jingzhou from the hands of Wu, so all they can do is to wait for the opportunity.

However, the opportunity really made them wait. Wei State launched a large-scale attack on Wu, and it was as angry as a tiger. Jiang Wei had an extremely sensitive sense of military smell. He had already had the premonition that this war between Wei and Wu would no longer be the kind of tug-of-war that was back and forth in the past. Cao Liang launched a large army, obviously having the ambition to destroy Wu State.

When the Wu Kingdom reached the critical moment of life and death, Jiang Wei did not want to help. After all, Yong'an and Jianye were thousands of miles apart. Even if Jiang Wei really had the intention to save Wu, it would be that far water could not resolve the near fire.

Jiang Wei's plan was to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. Wu Kingdom was at a critical moment of life and death and was not attentive. This was the best time for Jiang Wei to seek Jingzhou. Jiang Wei, who had been waiting in Yong'an for a long time, finally smelled a god-given opportunity and he was about to take action.

However, the rapid demise of Wu State was unexpected. Many people believed that the battle between Wei and Wu for Jianye could not last at least three or five years. At the same time, the two sides confronted each other across the river to fight a protracted war. However, in fact, it took less than two days for the Wei army to launch an attack to conquer Jianye. Even if Lu Kang was in Wuchang, he could not fly to Jianye even if he had a pair of wings.

In fact, due to the lag of news, when Lu Kang received the news that Jianye was attacked in Wuchang, two days had passed, and Jianye City had already fallen into the hands of the Wei army.

The change in the situation made the original plan a mess. The Lu Antigen planned to be a king-supporting army was gone, which was not beneficial to Jiang Wei's plan. After all, when Jianye was in danger, Lu Kang led his troops to defend the king, so that Jingzhou would be empty. Only then would Jiang Wei have the opportunity to learn from Lu Meng's tricks and succeed in a sneak attack on Jingzhou.

Lu Kang's troops remained unmoved, and Wu's strength in Jingzhou remained unabated. Even if Jiang Wei was even a soldier from Shu, he might not have the chance to take Jingzhou.

Therefore, at this time, Jiang Wei did not act rashly, but chose to wait and see the changes. The generals of the Shu army were puzzled and believed that the Wu Kingdom was in a national crisis, which was the best time for Shu Kingdom to recover Jingzhou. Why did Jiang Wei stop moving? Should he watch all the opportunities be missed?

But Jiang Wei was confident and seemed to be in a hurry at all. After the Wu Kingdom was defeated, Jingzhou fell into an isolated island state. There were not many choices left for Lu Kang. Whether to surrender to Wei Kingdom or continue to fight, Lu Kang obviously chose the latter.

Based on Jiang Wei's understanding of Lu Kang, Lu Kang is a person with a strong will. Since he has recognized the path against Wei, even if this path is extremely difficult, Lu Kang will continue to walk on it persistently.

However, Jiang Wei knew very well that Lu Kang's current military force in Jingzhou could not compete with the Wei army, so if Lu Kang wanted to protect Jingzhou, he could only cooperate with Shu.

Jiang Wei was not in a hurry to take action, but just waited for Lu Kang to come and ask for help, so that Jiang Wei could gain greater initiative and win more benefits.

Jiang Wei's judgment was not a problem. After Lu Kang was attacked by the Wei army, especially after the battle in Pengze Lake, he could no longer resist, so he sent Wu Zi to Yong'an to negotiate with Jiang Wei.

However, Lu Kang is also a smart person. Now the negotiations between the two sides are no longer in the same position as countries. If Lu Kang still negotiates with a mentality, there will definitely be no result. If Shu Kingdom wants to send troops to help, Lu Kang must first show enough sincerity so that the two sides can have a basis for cooperation.

Therefore, Lu Kang chose to surrender to Shu with his army and offer him the land of Jingzhou. This was the condition that he took action. It can be said that Lu Kang was full of sincerity and could hardly tolerate Shu's rejection.

In order to obtain Jingzhou, Shu Kingdom has been thinking about it for decades, and no matter how much the price it costs, it is willing to pay. Now there is such an opportunity to regain Jingzhou, and it is not bloody and can be obtained without any effort. If it were anyone, it would be impossible not to be moved.

So the two sides quickly reached a consensus and agreed on the details. Jiang Wei immediately pointed out the Shu army in Yong'an, divided into two groups, with 20,000 troops from one group, led by him and headed straight to Jiangling, while the other group was led by Luo Xian to rescue Lu Kang.

It was precisely because of Jiang Wei's decisive action that Lu Kang was rescued from the fire and fire, otherwise Lu Kang's army would be surrounded and annihilated by the Wei army.

Seeing that Cao Liang had lost the opportunity to destroy Lu Kang, he ordered Shi Bao to cross the river from Gong'an and take down Jiangling, the prefecture capital of Jingzhou, first.

Since the Lu Anti's army was isolated from the south of the Yangtze River, the Bujia Army's army was even more trapped in Yunmengze. There was only a little defender in Jiangling who was guarding Jiangling City to the death, which naturally posed no threat to the Wei army's crossing the river.

However, Jiang Wei's sudden arrival brought great resistance to the Wei army's crossing the river.
