Jiang Wei's concerns eventually became a reality. Not long after he sent Liao Hua, he received news that Meng Li surrendered, Wei County was lost, and Huo Yi died in battle. The situation on the entire southern line deteriorated rapidly, and the clouds of the demise of Shu Kingdom enveloped the hearts of every Shu person.

Soon the imperial court issued an order to divide Jiang Wei into a group to resist the enemy from the Southern Central. Obviously, the imperial court was also panicked. After the fall of Nan Central, there were almost no soldiers to defend in Chengdu. Just relying on the little imperial guards who guarded the capital, they had no ability to resist the Wei army, which was like a wolf and a tiger.

Once the Wei army was allowed to attack the city of Chengdu, the Shu Kingdom would have the fate of losing its country, so the later ruler Liu Chan and his ministers were almost in chaos. The only thing they could count on was the General Jiang Wei.

Although the ministers in the court usually look at Jiang Wei, they would write a few books to impeach Jiang Wei from time to time, but at this critical moment, everyone was mute, and none of them could come up with a strategy to get rid of the enemy.

Luo Xian said angrily: "They usually don't slander the general. Now when they are in danger, they have to point at the general to protect them. These people are so shameless!"

Jiang Wei said calmly: "Now that the country is in trouble and the country is in danger, why bother with them? I will ask you for your defense in Yong'an. I need to go to the road in person to resist the Wei army."

Obviously, Jiang Wei was ready to send troops. Once Nanzhong was lost, Jiang Wei must lead his troops to the Wudao and block the Wei army south of Lushui to ensure the safety of Chengdu.

As for Yong'an's defense, Jiang Wei could only leave it to Lu Kang and Luo Xian to take charge.

Fortunately, Lu Kang and Luo Xian are the most trustworthy people of Jiang Wei. Lu Kang is a famous general of the Wu Kingdom. Currently in Yong'an, Lu Kang has the most troops under his command. He has an irreconcilable hatred with Wei Kingdom, so he will definitely do his best to guard Yong'an.

As for Luo Xian, he was originally the prefect of Badong and later served as the governor of Yong'an. He was familiar with Yong'an's geography and defense. Jiang Wei was quite at ease with the two of them.

However, this was also a helpless move. With Yong'an's current defensive ability, he could barely resist the attack of the Wei army. Jiang Wei's departure from Yong'an would inevitably take away some of the troops, which undoubtedly greatly reduced Yong'an's defensive power.

Although Lu Kang and Luo Xian have good abilities, it is hard to cook without rice. If they lack the strength of their troops, would it be very large to resist the Wei army's attack?

Jiang Wei had actually thought about this matter many times before. Once Nanzhong was lost, the Shu army would evolve from a situation of fighting on two fronts to a third-line battle, and these three sides had to block the Wei army's attack.

It's like a bucket, made of three wooden boards. When all three wooden blocks are intact, the bucket can be filled with water. As long as one of them has problems, the bucket will not be able to hold any water.

Therefore, for Jiang Wei, there is no problem in any of these three directions. There is no difference between the severity of the three lines in the north and southeast, and it is all ordinary weight. To ensure that Shu Kingdom does not perish, all three fronts must be kept.

Obviously this is a very difficult task. It is actually quite difficult for the Shu army to block the Wei army's attack in Jiange and Yong'an. The Wei army that appeared in Nanzhong undoubtedly had another stab behind Shu Kingdom.

Moreover, this sword was extremely fatal, and it was directly hit by the key points of Shu Kingdom. If Jiang Wei did not divide his troops to resist, Shu Kingdom would be over.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the situation is, Jiang Wei must divide his troops to deal with it. Before Nanzhong was completely lost, Jiang Wei had already made the worst plan and sent Liao Hua to the Dao. It was just the first step in Jiang Wei's defense deployment on the southern front. If you expect Liao Hua to be able to stop the Wei army with 10,000 troops, it would be basically unrealistic. Jiang Wei had already planned that once the situation in Nanzhong deteriorated, he had to send troops himself.

Currently, there are nearly 80,000 Shu troops in Yong'an. Jiang Wei decided to take 30,000 people away by himself, and at least 50,000 people were left for Lu Kang and Luo Xian.

Of course, Jiang Wei knew the impact of taking away another 30,000 people on the Yong'an defense line, but this was also a helpless move. After all, the Wei army, which went from the south and the north, had a total of 80,000 troops. With such a huge and powerful strength, if Jiang Wei did not bring more troops, it would be basically for nothing. With 30,000 people plus 10,000 people who arrived at the Dao in advance, Jiang Wei could only call for 40,000 troops, which was half the difference compared to the Wei army.

But this is also the limit. There must be no shortage of 50,000 people left behind in Yong'an. Even if there are these 50,000 people, it will be difficult to defend Yong'an.

Lu Kang and Luo Xian also knew the crisis of the situation, so they had no meaning to Jiang Wei's arrangements. At least Yong'an was praised for its dangerous terrain, and there was no danger to defend except the river. Once the Wei army broke through the Jiangfang, the situation would be out of control.

Lu Kang and Luo Xian both suggested that Jiang Wei bring more soldiers to the road, but Jiang Wei shook his head and refused. Now Yong'an's defense situation is not optimistic at all. After he drew 60,000 troops, Yong'an's defense ability has been severely weakened. If he drew some soldiers, the situation will become more difficult. Jiang Wei thought about it again and again. This was the limit for him to mobilize troops, so it was impossible to transfer one more army and one more soldiers.

After arranging Yong'an's defense, Jiang Wei immediately led 30,000 troops to set off, climbed the river and rushed to the road.

The distance from Yong'an to Wudao is not close. In addition, the terrain in Shu is complex and the gorge is difficult to walk. Almost all the mountains and ridges along the way are high. Jiang Wei led his army to travel twice the road. It took more than ten days to reach Jidao and meet with Liao Hua, who arrived here in advance.

After Liao Hua arrived at the Wudao, he did not guard the Wudao. Instead, he was ordered by Jiang Wei to set up checkpoints and posts at many ferries along the Lushui River, and sent a large number of scouts to cross the river and conduct permeable reconnaissance in the south-central direction. Once the Wei army is found, the troops on the river bank should be adjusted in time to prevent the Wei army from smuggling through the Lushui River.

The main reason why Lushui is not considered the main stream of the Yangtze River is that the amount of Lushui is not as large as the Minjiang River, and the surface of the river is not as wide as the Minjiang River, so Lushui is not considered a natural danger at all. It is still very difficult for the Shu army to use Lushui to resist the Wei army's attack.
