In 263, Zhong Hui's army contained the Shu general Jiang Weibu, and Deng Ai secretly attacked Yin Ping and defeated Shu.
In 279 CE, Wang Jun (王濬) and Du Pre wrote to Sima Yan, believing that it was time to cut down Wu, and finally Sima Yan decided to attack the state of Wu in December of that year, which is known as the Battle of Jin and Wu.
The general Wang Mao (王濬) led an army of 70,000 water troops from Bashu down the river to the east, suppressed the remnants of the wu state upstream, and met with the general Du Ofu at Xiakou and Zhennan, and General Du allocated some horses to the water division, and general Wang Mao took Niuzhu all the way and went straight to jianye (present-day Nanjing), the capital of the State of Wu.
In the face of the "hardware" of Eastern Wu's national defense: iron chains and shipwrecks in the Yangtze River, Wang Mao smiled contemptuously: Some iron chains want to stop our army? A general asked about a good strategy, and General Wang said: More than 70 years ago, Zhou Yu burned the Cao Army, and today this fire has to be burned back, and the general school is a little sneering: How can it always be attacked? Zhuge Liang of Xinye burned Bowangpo; the Battle of Chibi used fire; the Battle of Yiling burned the company camp, can't we do something new? Wang Mao was displeased: War is war! The fire attack was effective (at that time, there were no aircraft artillery missiles), and in 280 AD, the Sixth Road Water Army of the Jin Dynasty took the lead in attacking Jianye, captured the Wu lord Sun Hao alive, and finally completed the great cause of reunification.
