The Chu army breached the city of Jiangxia, but Lu Yuan did not linger there for long.
After a mere two days stationed within the city for some rest and reorganization, he led his troops to continue their advance northward.
Indeed, the situation could be described as exceedingly favorable.
All nine vanguard armies had achieved remarkable results; the East Sea Prefecture had been pacified, a large part of Xingyang County had been subdued, and the troops were in the midst of conquering the three prefectures of Jiying, Liang, and Chengyang.
Even the capital city of Liang, Daliang, was now under the threat of the Chu army's sharp edge.
The decision to dispatch the nine armies had already garnered a great deal of success.
However, it was precisely for this reason that the reinforcements led by Lu Yuan, who were tasked with safeguarding the rear and filling in the battle lines, needed to catch up sooner.
