The Governor of Jiangzhou is one of the permanent governors of Shu Kingdom. He is known as the four major governors, along with the Governor of Hanzhong, the Governor of Yong'an, and the Governor of Sui, and his capital is in Jiangzhou, the hinterland of Ba County.

The site is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. It is surrounded by water on three sides and has a steep terrain. It is the throat of the Bajun area to curb the Yangtze River waterway and has a very important strategic position.

The main purpose of Shu Han to set up a governor here is that in addition to being able to defend Chengdu, the power center of Shu Han Group, it can also provide assistance to Hanzhong and Yong'an areas when wars occur. Since Shu Han Group set up this position, five people have held this position one after another.

The five were Fei Guan, Li Yan, Li Feng, Li Fu and Deng Zhi, among which Deng Zhi served the longest, reaching seventeen years. However, after Deng Zhi, the position of Jiangzhou governor was removed and no longer established, and Jiangzhou became an ordinary county town.

This is closely related to the national strength of Shu. When Shu was in its prime, the four major governors were established together and each ruled one side. The national strength of Shu was thriving. However, with Jiang Wei's military and continuous conquests, the national strength of Shu was gradually declining, and it was difficult to maintain the establishment of the four major governors. Therefore, the first person to be abolished was the Jiangzhou governor who was in the country of Shu.

Later, the surrendered governor was also removed, and the only ones that could be maintained in Shu were the Hanzhong Governor and Yong'an Governor who were in the situation.

Since the Wei army divided into three groups to attack Shu Kingdom, Shu Kingdom had already mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized to go to the front line. Jiangzhou, which was in the rear, was completely empty. Some county soldiers who were originally stationed in the county had long been transferred to the Yong'an front line. For the Wei army, Jiangzhou at this moment was a city without defense.

Although the distance from Wudao to Jiangzhou is a little farther, for Xiaoqi Camp, traveling three or four hundred miles a day, no matter how far it is, three days later, Xiaoqi Camp has already rushed to Jiangzhou. There is no one to resist the empty Jiangzhou, so Xiaoqi Camp took over Jiangzhou.

The fall of Jiangzhou was a fatal blow to Yong'an. Jiangzhou was not only adjacent to Yong'an, but also the rear base of Yong'an. Yong'an was narrow and there were many soldiers. All the food, supplies and supplies must be transported from water through Jiangzhou. After the Wei army captured Jiangzhou, it undoubtedly cut off the logistics supply line of the Shu army, which was simply to kill the Shu army.

What's even more fatal is that after the Wei army conquered Jiangzhou, it would inevitably attack Yong'an's Shu army in a forward and back. The Shu army, which was already quite difficult to defend, faced the enemy from both sides, and the situation in Yong'an suddenly became difficult.

After Jiang Wei led his troops to leave Yong'an, Yong'an's defense ability had already declined greatly. Faced with the continuous attack of the Wei army, Lu Kang and Luo Xian were stretched and could only maintain it with all their might.

As the war continued, the Shu army suffered more and more casualties, and the gap in its troops naturally became larger and larger. Lu Kang had to shrink his troops, abandoned the positions on the periphery of Motianling and Yufupu, and retreated to Yong'an City.

The dangers of Yong'an are not entirely in Yong'an City, but there are dangerous passes like Motianling and Yufupu on the outside. Since the Wei army attacked Yong'an, the battle between the two sides has basically revolved around Motianling and Yufupu. At that time, the Shu army was sufficiently powerful and could invest enough troops in the defense of each key position. Therefore, even though the Wei army had a strong attack power, the Shu army never failed to make the Wei army succeed in the attack. The war between the two sides once fell into a stalemate.

However, as the Shu army was continuously transferred from Yong'an, the Shu army's troops in various positions had a serious shortage, but the Wei army's offensive continued to increase, which undoubtedly put Lu Kang and Luo Xian under great pressure.

Although they were unwilling to give up their peripheral positions, the current situation was a forced choice for them. After all, with the limited military strength of the Shu army, it was quite difficult to defend the fish belly of the Motianling Ridge.

Retreat to Yong'an is conducive to the Shu army concentrating its limited troops to defend well, but it also faces a problem, that is, the Yong'an defense line has become thinner. Without the buffering of the outer positions, Yong'an City will face the fierce attack of the Wei army. The Shu army must do its best to defend Yong'an.

But no matter how tenacious the Shu army fought, it was impossible for them to defend Yong'an even if they were attacked from both sides.

Taking a step back, even if the Wei army that captured Jiangzhou had no plans to advance eastward to encircle Yong'an, the move to cut off the supply line of the Shu army was enough to put Yong'an's Shu army into a desperate situation.

After Jiangzhou was lost, Yong'an became an isolated city. All the previously grain and grass supply logistics supplies had to be transferred from Jiangzhou. If this supply line was cut off, the Shu army could not hold on for even three months with the current grain and grass reserves of Shu army in Yong'an.

When the news of the fall of Jiangzhou spread, the entire Shu army fell into panic, panic and uneasy. No one knew how to fight the next battle?

Lu Kang and Luo Xian also quickly summoned the generals to discuss the matter. The generals naturally had different opinions. Some wanted to defend and some wanted to withdraw, but they were not convinced.

Neither Lu Kang nor Luo Xian expected that Jiang Wei's defeat in the silo road was so fast, but this seemed to be unreproachable to Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei led his army to the silo road to defend, and he rushed over temporarily. The defense preparations were quite insufficient, and the silo road could not be said to be very dangerous. Facing the enemy of twice the amount, Jiang Wei's defense difficulty was quite high, and the loss of the silo road was reasonable.

However, the defeat of the 杨杨 also completely destroyed the situation of the Shu Kingdom. After the Wei army crossed the Lu River, it seemed to have become a wild horse that was out of control and was difficult to tame. Jiangzhou, an important town in Shu, naturally fell into the hands of the Wei army because it was not defended by the troops.

Now Lu Kang and Luo Xian must face the problem of defending or withdrawing, and have lost their logistics supplies. Even if the Shu army has great courage, it is impossible for them to continue to hold on without food, grass or help.

With the current total food and grass reserves of the Shu army, it will last for another three months for the death. Then, there will be no further. No army can continue to fight when the food and grass are exhausted, and the Shu army will of course be no exception.

Defend is destined to be unable to defend it, but if you retreat, the Wei army of more than 100,000 outside Yong'an City will surely pour into Shu. No matter where the Shu army retreats, the Wei army will pursue it relentlessly. There is only such a large place in Shu, and there is no room for maneuver. Once the Shu army retreats, Lu Kang doesn't know where to retreat.
