The ship went all the way west, Yang Lian and Fei Yunshan traveled together, and the capture of Jiangling required Fei Yunshan to maneuver around, along the way, Fei Yunshan seemed very worried, and it was inevitable to capture Jiangling Shu, but with the intervention of Guo Wei of Zhou, things became delicate, if Shu could not take Jiangling, and could not open the main road, Shu would lose more than it gained.

Fei Yunshan is more worried that although Nanping recognizes the suzerainty status of the Great Zhou, but due to the importance of Jiangling's geographical location, it is not guaranteed that Guo Wei will take the opportunity to seize Jiangling in the name of support.

Yang Lian didn't seem to be in a hurry, in fact, it was useless to be anxious, he broke into pieces, the soldiers entered Jiangling in batches, the time was predetermined, and Yang Lian had no soldiers available. The ship went upriver along the Yangtze River, passing through Chizhou and Jiangzhou, and drove directly to Ezhou. At this time, the Shu generals had already broken through Xiazhou and taken the waterway out of the Yangtze River, and the army continued to rush to Jiangling.

Xiazhou is very important for Nanping country, it is the most important barrier in the west of Nanping country, the terrain here is dangerous, also known as Yiling, has always been one of the most important sections of the Yangtze River waterway. Now that Xiazhou has been taken by Shu, Gao Baorong is very shocked, Nanping is only three states, and now Guizhou and Xiazhou have been breached, leaving only Jiangling, how can he not be frightened.

Gao Baorong only hoped that the Wang Shi of the Great Zhou would come in time to save Nanping from the dire situation. The general who brought troops to the aid of the Great Zhou is said to be called Gao Huaide, the son of the famous general Gao Xingzhou of the Great Zhou, although he is young, he is already a famous general of the Great Zhou, it is reported that in addition to him, there is also the veteran Han Tong.

These two people came early with troops, but the speed was not fast, Gao Baorong wrote a series of letters to urge, but was rejected by Han Tong on the grounds that the three armies were still preparing grain and grass. Han Tong wrote a letter telling Gao Baorong's army that it would be able to set off in a few days, hoping that Gao Baorong would be ready in Jiangling, especially to prepare enough grain and grass.

Without waiting for Han Tong and Gao Huaide to enter the territory of Nanping, the commander of Shu was Wang Zhaoyuan, who met Meng Chang, the emperor of Shu, and served by Meng Chang's side when he was young, so he was trusted by Meng Chang, and whenever there was a major national event, he must discuss with Wang Zhaoyuan. Wang Zhaoyuan was smart since childhood, full of poetry and books, the Great Wall compared himself to Zhuge Wuhou, claiming that if he was born in the Three Kingdoms, he would definitely do better than Zhuge Wuhou, restore the Central Plains, restore the Han dynasty.

This time to attack Nanping, although in Guizhou, Xiazhou met the stubborn resistance of Nanping, but after all, the gap between the strength of the two countries is too big, after Wang Zhaoyuan captured Guizhou, Xiazhou, the whole person became arrogant, only feel that it is no longer difficult to capture Jiangling. Wang Zhaoyuan knew that the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also coming, and when he received this news, Wang Zhaoyuan laughed, the Zhou people dared to come, wouldn't they ask for their own hardships? He was also confident that the reinforcements of the Great Zhou State would be wiped out in a war.

In such a situation, Wang Zhaoyuan did not choose to attack Jiangling, but set up a large camp outside Jiangling City, and he did not even let the sailors block the waterway in case the Zhou army came to help.

The abnormal behavior of the Shu army surprised Gao Baorong very much, he had already become a frightened bird, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no place to escape, I am afraid that he would have given up Jiangling a long time ago. After making some preparations, Han Tong also felt that he couldn't say anything if he didn't march into Jiangling, so he led his troops to Jiangling slowly. Before arriving in Gangneung, Han Tong and Gao Huaide received this laughable news.

The soldiers are fast, in the case of having an absolute advantage, the Shu army does not take advantage of the situation to take the generals, which is obviously beyond the expectations of the two, Gao Huaide has already thought that Wang Zhaoyuan gave up the opportunity to attack, in fact, it is equivalent to pronouncing the defeat of Shu this time, in this case, Da Zhou might as well drive directly to Jiangling, maybe there will be a lot of gains.

Han Tong also agreed with this opinion, the two led the troops to speed up, it only took seven days, to arrive at the north city of Jiangling, and successfully set up the camp, Wang Zhaoyuan got the news, still did not take the initiative to attack, but wrote a letter to Han Tong, Gao Huaide, invited the two to talk.

Looking at Wang Zhaoyuan's letter, Han Tong couldn't help but smile in his heart, Wang Zhaoyuan is a pedantic scholar, and his eloquence may be excellent, but if it is a war, he will not have a little level. Since Wang Zhaoyuan was bent on inviting war, Han Tong was not as good as he wanted.

Sure enough, when the news of Han Tong's refusal came, Wang Zhaoyuan laughed, it seems that the soldiers of Da Zhou are not very good, and they don't even have the confidence to fight a battle, Wang Zhaoyuan feels that he has a chance to make meritorious contributions, and he has repeatedly written letters to Han Tong and Gao Huaide, inviting them to fight.

At this time, Yang Lian had already entered Ezhou, most of the soldiers had arrived, Yang Lian continued to break into pieces, his subordinates continued to rush towards Jiangling, and the soldiers' armor was carried by several soldiers who pretended to be theatrical boards.

After entering Ezhou, Yang Lian did not choose to be with Fei Yunshan, he asked Fei Yunshan to rush to the camp of Shu State, waiting for his news, if the time is ripe, the two armies can work together to win the general in one fell swoop. Fei Yunshan thought so, and he immediately chose to leave.

Yang Lian took Chen Tie and rushed to a place more than a hundred miles away from Jiangling. The soldiers of the three armies are ready to assemble here.

The reason why Yang Lian did not rush to Jiangling was that the situation in Jiangling had not been thoroughly understood, and second, the three armies were all very tired from running all the way to zero, and Yang Lian needed to recuperate for some time, so the soldiers dispersed and occupied several nearby villages.

On the Jiangling side, there is constant news that the Shu army and the Zhou army met outside the city, and the large-scale battle did not happen, which is obvious, the two sides fought to the death, and in the end it was Gao Baorong who was cheaper, and the Zhou army naturally would not be so stupid.

Yang Lian waited for a few days, collected enough information, and the three armies finally came one after another, Yang Lian counted the number of people, and first issued military salaries to the soldiers, five dollars per person, if someone was killed on the battlefield, then the merit was rewarded.

Yang Lian let most of the soldiers stay here, and he himself took 500 people into the huge plain area between the Hanshui and the Yangtze River, although there are many plains in this area, but there are also many hills, especially after entering the area between the Jingmen army and Jiangling, the terrain is more and more complicated.

Due to the scouring effect of the river, this area presents a high terrain form in the northwest and low in the southeast, and in addition to the plain lake area, there are low mountain valleys and hills, after Yang Lian sent troops to patrol, the garrison site was selected on a high hill, where there are dense forests all around, and because of the openness of the terrain, it is conducive to observing the surrounding situation.

After the Tang army was stationed here, Yang Lian set up a cottage, and in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Lian was like a mountain king who divided the hills.

Yang Lian was not anxious, but Chen Tie was very anxious, he had been looking forward to it for so long, just hoping to fight, but Yang Lian was not anxious, which made Chen Tie very helpless. He made several remarks, but was blocked by Yang Lian, in short, the timing was not right.

Of course, Yang Lian was not idle, he asked the soldiers to disguise themselves as woodcutters, fishermen, etc., and explored the surrounding geography clearly, and Fei Yunshan was also contacted.

Fei Yunshan was very anxious, because just two days ago, a battle broke out between the Shu army and the Zhou army, although the number was small, but it made Fei Yunshan deeply shocked. At that time, there were more than 100 people in the Shu army, and most of them were cavalry, and they met a group of Zhou soldiers who came to patrol, this group of Zhou soldiers only had more than 20 people, all of them rode war horses, and they looked like scouts who came to inquire about the military situation.

The Shu army relied on the large number of people, so it naturally took the initiative to attack, in the eyes of the Shu army, they had an advantage in numbers, and the Zhou army must have been frightened by such a charge. But an accident happened, although the Zhou army was small in number, it was not afraid of the Hell Shu army fighting, especially one of the fierce generals, with a spear in his hand, had the courage of ten thousand people, and actually killed more than 20 Shu soldiers.

Under the leadership of this man, although the Zhou army was small in number, it won this encounter. Afterwards, Fei Yunshan learned that this person was Gao Huaide, the beloved son of Gao Xingzhou, a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are such fierce generals in the Great Zhou, can Shu win? Fei Yunshan's heart has no bottom. Fortunately, at this time, the person sent by Yang Lian to contact him arrived, and with the help of the Tang army, this battle became even more confusing, not to mention, in Fei Yunshan's impression, Yang Lian did not seem to have suffered defeat, which invisibly increased Fei Yunshan's confidence.

Faced with Fei Yunshan's urging, Yang Lian just smiled and refused because the time was not yet ripe. Yang Lian has his thoughts, it is still a grain interception road, Xiangyang to Jiangling is not far away, said that it is not close, in this era, it will take at least seven or eight days, if it is to transport military rations, it will take longer.

Yang Lian had already found out that the military rations transported from Xiangyang were about once every twenty-five days, and a batch of grain was transported, which was almost enough for the Zhou army to eat for a month. Yang Lian's purpose is to make the Zhou army short of food, and this time is about to come.

Riding on a war horse, Guo Xin seemed very novel about many things. If you don't count the righteous brother Guo Rong, then Guo Tong is his eldest brother, the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing, and as for Guo Xin, he is Guo Wei's second son.

Perhaps for the purpose of exercising, Guo Wei promised to let him go to Xiangyang to see the war under Guo Xin's constant begging, and in order to avoid accidents, Guo Wei also asked his nephew Li Chongjin to accompany Guo Xin to ensure his safety.

Yang Lian waited for a few days, collected enough information, and the three armies finally came one after another, Yang Lian counted the number of people, and first issued military salaries to the soldiers, five dollars per person, if someone was killed on the battlefield, then the merit was rewarded.
