The story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is gripping and exciting, in 263, the shu state that represented the orthodox Han nationality was overthrown by the state of Wei, which made people sigh involuntarily, in 265 AD, the Sima family replaced the Cao Wei regime and established the Jin Dynasty, followed by the elimination of the Eastern Wu regime in the land of Jiangnan in 280 AD, and the Three Kingdoms period ended thereafter.
In fact, the strength of the State of Wei in the Three Kingdoms was the most powerful, and both the territorial resources and the population were far higher than those of the Eastern Wu State of Shu, which forced the State of Wu to adopt joint tactics and resist the State of Wei in groups. Although in the decades of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei of the Shu State had been fighting Wei and launched dozens of wars, they could not shake the bones of the Wei State.
On the contrary, the State of Shu, who had been severely injured in successive years of conquests, was forced to recuperate and recuperate, unable to launch a major campaign, and did not shake the fundamental State of Wei at all, and in August 263, the 180,000 Wei army marched south in three ways, led by Deng Aizhonghui and others, from the Xie Valley, Luo Valley, and Meridian Valley to Hanzhong.
When Liu Chan, the lord of The Shu Dynasty, received the news, he hurriedly sent the general Liao Hua to support Jiang Wei in The Middle, and sent the Shu generals Zhang Yi and Dong Yue to defend the Zhonghui army at Yang'an Pass. In September, the Wei people launched an offensive in three ways, and soon the Shu army lost Hanzhong.
Faced with the dangers of Sichuan, wei put forward the concept of the speed of soldiers and nobles, they smuggled from the trail to Yinping, because the terrain here is too difficult, the Shu people did not set up a defensive line here, in October 283, Deng Ai led the army to climb the trail, chisel the mountain to open the road, after a loss of 25,000 people through Yinping to Jiangyou.
The Shu people never thought that there would be an enemy army in Jiangyou, Jiangyou Taishou Ma Miao directly surrendered, Deng Ai led the army to directly attack Chengdu, at this time the Shu state had put all its troops into the defense of the front line, the rear was empty, and Liu Chan could only surrender.
With Liu Chan's surrender, the Shu generals who were struggling to support themselves in the front also lost the meaning of resistance and surrendered one after another. Then some readers will ask, what is the State of Wu, who has agreed to an alliance with the State of Shu to attack and defend, doing? As an ally with teeth and lips, did The Wu state send troops to the rescue?
In fact, after the State of Wei attacked Shudi, Liu Chan quickly sent a letter of request for help to the State of Wu, requesting assistance, which was recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, and The Main Biography of the Three Heirs. When Wu Guo saw that this time, the State of Wei did not want to attack the city and plunder the land, but directly rushed to destroy the State of Shu, and naturally went all out to save it.
At that time, the monarch of the State of Wu also dispatched troops, first let the General of the State of Wu Ding Feng lead an army to approach the important town of Shouchun in the State of Wei, which was the meaning of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and secondly, he assigned the General Liu Ping to lead his troops from Nan County to Yong'an to rescue, the Wu people were not at ease, and then sent another team of people and horses, led by Ding Sunyi, along the river from the Han River to rescue Hanzhong.
But who knew that the Shu state only lasted three months, and then directly surrendered, and the reinforcements of the State of Wu had only reached the halfway point and had to return.
Therefore, when the Wei army died in Shu, Wu Guo was also doing his best to rescue, but he did not expect that the pig teammate of the Shu kingdom was too weak, and he did not support it for too long. After the fall of the Shu state, the situation had been laid and completely turned to the northern regime, and the state of Wu soon followed in the footsteps of the Shu state after surviving for more than ten years.
