The original mission to invade Shu was to be assigned to the 7th Corps, but later, to accommodate new arrivals, it was handed over to the 8th Corps under Luo Xiao's command.
The now idle 7th Corps is still preparing for battle within Tang Country, and they have finally received their assignment.
According to the plan, the 7th Corps under Eric's command has been ordered to move south, assembling at Nanshan Port, preparing for a large-scale amphibious landing.
This campaign is codenamed Rehearsal, with the Tang Army planning to land the 7th Corps in Shu Territory under the cover of the main fleet.
If the plan succeeds, the Tang Army will attack Shu Territory from both the south and the north, encircling Zhang Xuan's forces and completely changing the war's situation.
Upon receiving orders, Eric immediately commanded the troops to mobilize; the 7th Corps began loading vehicles and maneuvering, with ten divisions of a 200,000-strong army moving south along the railway line.
