Jiangling was ultimately difficult to conquer for a period of time, and Wang Zongfan was eager to continue to invade north. So after the successors of Wang Zongkan's command had landed and docked, he immediately rushed forward and attacked the remaining cities of Jingxiang.

After all, if Shu Kingdom broke with King Qi Li Maozhen according to the official history line, he would launch 120,000 infantry and cavalry to the north, and his territory expanded to the Dasanguan area at the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Therefore, in terms of military strength alone, even if it is not as big as the Wei Dynasty, if Emperor Jian of Shu really plans to fight once, he can launch an army of more than 100,000 yuan, with the intention of expanding the results of the war as much as possible.

At least in the eyes of the Shu army, the military deployed by the Wei Dynasty in Jingxiang was not commanded and dispatched by the supreme generals, and the defense was not effective, and it could not restore the decline of the fall of the city walls. Therefore, Wang Zongfan and Wang Zongbo led the army to invade a large number of troops, and they were very likely to incorporate the territory of Jingnan, Yue'e, and Xiangfan into the power of the Shu Kingdom.

As the scope of the Shu army's invasion continued to expand, the first few troops were getting closer and closer to Xiangyang, another famous city under the Wei Dynasty's rule in the north... However, Wang Zongfan and other Shu army generals did not know that long before they sent troops, the Wei Dynasty's capital had mobilized 80,000 troops and drove them to Xiangyang City in batches and stationed in Xiangyang City.

Even before sending troops, the Shu army would try every means to inquire about the facts of the defenders in Jiangling, Xiangyang and other military corpses. However, in the Later Tang Dynasty, when the Shu Kingdom reached an agreement to mobilize the army, Li Tianqu received the secret military information conveyed by the secret spies in Taiyuan, so he was naturally prepared. However, the Wei Dynasty's army heading south did not move when it arrived in Xiangyang, and waited for the Shu army to crash into the head...

At this moment, if you look down from the sky in Xiangyang City, you will see dense army gathering in the city, and the solemn and murderous aura will enter the sky.

It is said that the Shu army has invaded a large number of invasions and is unstoppable. Not only has it captured several counties and yards in succession, but the expansion momentum has spread in Jingxiang and is about to touch the famous city... However, the Wei soldiers stationed in Xiangyang City did not feel discouraged or panic at all. On the contrary, the soldiers of various branches were dispatched by Shangguan and were carrying out combat preparations in full swing.

Of course, there are enemy troops approaching, and the military brigades in the capital are allocated to the city to station. The people in Xiangyang City are inevitably nervous and are talking about it everywhere. However, although most of the people are a little worried, they can basically have a positive and optimistic attitude towards their own army to fight back against foreign enemies.

As for the imperial guards in the capital who were ordered to go south, many military officials took advantage of their leisure time to chat and shouted loudly that the mere Shu Kingdom would dare to tease the Wei Dynasty. But this is not bad. Today, the battle is a great opportunity to grab the head and fight for military achievements... They can also immediately attract colleagues around to respond loudly, with high fighting spirit, and the men of the branches are ready to shout and kill.

In front of the official office, the guards on guards were all fierce and fierce, with strict military disciplines and awesome and unpredictable aura... They went deep into the hall, and there was a military academy that had already discovered the military information, and they were reporting loudly:

"Reported to the Privy Councilor, the Shu army had invaded Dangyang, Changlin, Yingzhou Changshou and Fuzhou Jingling. The enemy troops led by Wang Zongfan had invaded Yicheng County, which was only a hundred miles away from Xiangyang!"

The commander sitting in the head of the hall nodded slowly after hearing the military academy report. His expression was calm and calm, as if he showed a meaning as I expected.

Because he has experienced many battles and the wars he has experienced before, it can be said that he is invincible and invincible... This Wei army commander also showed a calm and majestic commander, but he is the Privy Councilor Fu Cunshen, who is in charge of the highest military institution and is one of the best positions in the Wei Dynasty army!

Unlike Ge Congzhou who was in charge of the Yangwu Army, and now he is in conflict with the neighbors of the Wei Dynasty, the biggest enemy of the Wei Dynasty. Like Fu Cunshen, Wang Yanzhang, who had made the most contributions to the world, had also been in charge of the imperial center like Li Tianqu became the emperor, and he had fewer and fewer opportunities to lead troops to fight.

Li Tianqu thought that he could not guard against thieves for a thousand days, so he could only take advantage of the time when the thief came back to visit him, so as to completely destroy him, so as to eliminate his intention of still having a sneak attack in the future...

Wang Yanzhang is a powerful general active on the battlefield. Although he is also good at commanding troops and commanding the front line, leading the cavalry to destroy the front line and break the formation, he can be called the world's best. But Fu Cunshen is a general who is better at strategic deployment. This time, he must annihilate the vitality of the Shu army as much as possible. So how should this battle be fought? That is, he must play a large game of chess in the Jingxiang realm... Obviously, it is more suitable to send Fu Cunshen to take out the horse.

To dispatch Wang Yanzhang, Fu Cunshen to go south together? In dealing with the enemy troops of King Zongfan of Shu, Li Tianqu thought that even if he only sent Fu Cunshen out of the mountain, it would be said that he would be useless...

After hearing the military academy's report, Fu Cunshen looked at the generals waiting for military orders in the hall and said in a long voice:

"Shu Kingdom took advantage of our dynasty to fight against the Jin people, and intended to take advantage of the situation. If the war was not good, it would immediately withdraw its troops and retreat to the two rivers and could not retreat... So this time, since the Shu army dared to offend our dynasty, the enemy would first land successfully, occupy the Yangtze River waterway, and go deep into the Jingxiang prefectures.

Now it is time to cut off the retreat of the Shu army. Huainan, Eyue, and the boat troops of Jingxiang who had been ordered to move eastward and retain their strength will also go up the river to attack the Shu navy. The troops of Xiangyang will obey my orders and perform their own responsibilities and shall not neglect..."

Fu Cunshen then issued another military order, sending 40,000 troops into two routes, one to head towards Nanzhangxian in the southwest; the other route advances towards Dahong Mountain in the southeast. It is like two big hands spreading, surrounding them, and taking all the invading Shu military troops...

From the beginning, Fu Cunshen did not deploy according to defensive wars, but would have to fight a large-scale annihilation war.

The general who received the military order received the order suddenly and immediately went to dispatch his subordinates to march. Fu Cunshen stood up slowly and said in a deep voice:

"The enemy general who was attacking Yicheng County and was about to be killed in Xiangyang soon was Wang Zongfan, the king of Kui of Shu Kingdom. I led 40,000 troops and went to meet him in person. The Shu army invaded our territory. Since they came, they didn't have to go back..."

The 80,000 Wei troops were divided into three routes and set out in three directions, southeast and southwest. The 40,000 elite imperial guards led by the commander Fu Cunshen personally drove straight towards the Shu army of Wang Zongfan, who was less than a hundred miles away from his side.

The well-trained scouts of the various tribes, who were well-trained, followed the military orders and carried out the southward direction and made a big net to annihilate the sermon cavalry members who were leading the Shu army as much as possible.

The army that had invaded the country in Shu originally thought that Jiangling could be cleared out due to the city's defense and danger, and could still hold on for a while... However, the garrisons of Jingxiang and the states of Wei Dynasty were empty and easy to divide their troops to capture them as soon as possible. At least in terms of the battle situation so far, they were all as expected by King Zongfan, Wang Zongbo, and Wang Zhongkan of the three main generals.

However, because Li Tianqu dispatched troops in advance, the Shu army had no idea that the military power formed by the Xiangyang City north of Jiangling had been added one after another, and they did not know that Fu Cunshen, who was originally in charge of the Bianjing Privy Council of the Wei Dynasty, had already made arrangements, and was sharpened and waiting for them to come to take the initiative...

The scouts on both sides then started several small-scale encounters. The Shu army's whistle cavalry was caught off guard, and most of them were ambushed and annihilated.

Although there were also scattered defeated soldiers fled back and reported that there were ambushing troops in the Wei army ahead, they were dispersed by the Wei Dynasty scouts, and they did not find out that there were 40,000 troops in Xiangyang who took the initiative to kill... So Wang Zongfan thought that there were certainly defenders in the Wei Dynasty and Jingxiang, and they tried to ambush and resist. But after a long resistance, the Jiangling defenders were still killed by our army and could not hide?

So Wang Zongfan still ordered his troops to continue to move towards Xiangyang... He could not guess who the enemy he would face soon...
