Lu Yuan directly led the western, central, and eastern expeditionary armies, which also, under the pretense of migrating the populace and supporting the front lines of Yong West and Yangxia, began to assemble in Yuzhang, Linhai, and Guangling, respectively, and had completed the majority of preparations.
To expedite the process, Lu Yuan even temporarily visited Jinling himself, to unite the people's hearts and minds.
According to the current preparations, by the end of next February, that is, after the melting of the snow in spring, the three expeditionary armies will be fully established.
In addition, the populace that migrated northwards from the southwest of Lingnan, after half a year of relocation, have gradually arrived along the banks of the great river in the north of Chu State.
