As we all know, the end of the era of the division of the Three Kingdoms and the reunification of the country began with the Western Jin Dynasty's destruction of Dongwu in 280 AD. The main figure who accomplished this great cause was the famous Western Jin Dynasty general Wang Jun. When it comes to the late period of the Three Kingdoms, anyone who has read novels will think of this comment: "There are no heroes in the era, so that Zhuzi became famous." After eighty chapters, they are either almost dead or very old. The influential figures in this period seem to be "not as good as one generation after another".In fact, the late Three Kingdoms was by no means what many descendants imagined, and the real situation was just the opposite.

The real situation in the late and early Three Kingdoms period is exactly the opposite of the Romance in the Three Kingdoms novels.Objectively speaking, the period from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the middle and early period of the Three Kingdoms was a period of tragic destruction in Chinese history. Years of divisions and civil wars caused severe damage to the national economy.The country's population has plummeted, the economy is in decline, and the cities are in depression. Whether it is the Eastern Han and even Wei regimes in the north, the Soochow regime in the east, and the Shuhan regime in the southwest, they have all suffered greatly from this riot.Just talk about the wars that later generations are fond of talking about: from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the middle and early stages of the Three Kingdoms, the topic of many wars during this period was very hot, but the indisputable fact is that the wars in the late Three Kingdoms period, regardless of the scale, scope, and country’s influence on the war The mobilization ability has far surpassed the early stage of the Three Kingdoms.Whether it was Cao Wei's destruction of Shu, or the last Western Jin Dynasty's destruction of Wu, the tortuousness and scale of the wars were far better than the Battle of Chibi and other battles that modern people talk about.The main reason for this is the situation of the tripartite confrontation, which gave the three regimes in China time to recuperate, and China's population and economy were able to recover and develop rapidly during this period.Such a period naturally also belongs to the stage of heroes.In real history, the late Three Kingdoms period was not a period of talent withering. The outstanding figures of this period, especially the military strategists, were no less capable than the "heroes" in the middle and early period of the Three Kingdoms.The one who finally accomplished the great cause of national unification was also the best among them, and one of them was the famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Jun.

In the late period of the Three Kingdoms period, the great clans had risen rapidly and gradually controlled the state power. Wang Jun was naturally a man with a very good family background. Wang Jun, courtesy name Shizhi, was born in Lingbao, Henan. His family was very famous at that time, and it was recorded in history as "nobility from generation to generation".According to the "Book of Jin", their family has been a high-ranking official with an annual salary of 2,000 shi in the north for generations, a typical hereditary son of a powerful person.Generally, those who come from this kind of family are mostly playboys who are ignorant and incompetent, but Wang Jun is an exception.He was quick-witted and eager to learn since he was young, and he was well-read when he was young. In addition to his handsome appearance, he was a well-known figure at that time very early.

In that era where "grace" and "birth" were valued, Wang Jun, who has both talent and appearance and a prominent background, seems to have no problem in showing his ambitions.But Wang Jun in the early days was quite unmotivated and had no interest in being an official. His greatest hobby in life was to play around with a group of friends. Before the age of 20, the government recruited him several times to serve as an official, but he politely declined, and his behavior was also very different. Many notes of people at the time recorded his unrestrained behavior, such as once ostentatiously dressed in the city. , or playing the piano on the street during the day.There was even one time when he had a little personal grievance with someone, and he actually got into a group fight with the other party in broad daylight.Speaking of this "second generation ancestor", most of the local villagers despised him, and according to historical records, he was "abandoned by the old people".

But after the age of 20, Wang Jun turned back as a "prodigal son". Historical records about his 20-year-old records can be said to be very different. It is "harming the village", "no official career" and "playing for fun", but after the age of 20, he becomes "great ambitions", "making friends with heroes", and "trying to make contributions to the country".The thing that shows his "big ambition" at that time is that once when his family built a house, Wang Jun deliberately left a road with a width of dozens of steps at the door, which seemed unnecessary at the time, but Wang Jun said, "If One day I lead the troops out, and this road will come in handy.” This is really crazy.At that time, everyone who heard this sentence made a few sarcasms at him, but Wang Jun replied confidently: "Chen Sheng has said that a sparrow knows the ambition of a great swan." At a young age, he regarded himself as a "swan".

Later, his life proved that he is not crazy, but really has this ability. The starting point of Wang Jun's official career began when he was an official in Hedong.At that time, his position was "Hedong Engagement", that is, the local prosecutor in charge of judicial work.In this position, Wang Jun is so serious that he doesn't give anyone face. Anyone who violates the law will be picketed boldly by him, even officials related to his family are no exception, and the more familiar he is, The stricter he handles the case, he is a well-known unselfish figure in the local area.He also has a very venomous vision, able to catch clues of all kinds of corruption. As long as he inspects a place, the local officials will not want to hide anything from him.Such a person who does not recognize his relatives and has a keen sense of smell is simply a "mad dog" that everyone fears in the eyes of local officials.

In Hedong, officials from all walks of life were extremely afraid of this "mad dog". Later, wherever Wang Jun went, some local officials would run away without even issuing a resignation report.Once Wang Jun inspected from the southernmost side of Hedong to the northernmost side of Hedong, and in the counties he passed along the way, five county magistrates fled after hearing the news, and he was called the number one "official killer" at that time.Of course, this offends people. Once, when Wang Jun was patrolling outside, he was chased by "hired murderers". Unexpectedly, Wang Jun was even more fierce. He fought hand-to-hand with the gangsters on the spot. One gangster was chased by Wang Jun from the outskirts into the county town, and he was hacked until he was bloody.As time went on, he became a character that no one in Hedong County would dare to mess with.

No one dared to provoke Wang Jun, so naturally no one dared to use him. Because he offended too many people, Wang Jun was not promoted for many years.The person who dared to use him finally came, and he met the one who dared to marry him first.At that time, Xu Mao, the governor of Hedong, had his daughter gradually grown up. When she reached the age of marriage, Xu Mao himself was very talkative about "free love". Behind the screen, I choose by myself, and Wang Jun, who has always been called "mad dog", is also among them.As a result, Ms. Xu fell in love with Wang Jun immediately, and she was determined not to marry him.Went to a banquet, unexpectedly brought back a wife, this is really good luck.Even better luck was that Yang Hu, a famous general at the time, came to visit his old friend Xu Mao, and Wang Jun, Xu Mao's son-in-law, also attended.When Yang Hu was ordered to guard Sichuan, Wang Jun was called by Yang Hu and asked to go there, and became his Sima to join the army.The starting point of his military career began here.

After following Yang Hu, Wang Jun began to make meritorious deeds repeatedly.He initially held the post of "Joining the Army" in the Yanghu Army, and was mainly responsible for rectifying the discipline of the army.In this position, Wang Jun is still unselfish, even the famous generals who have followed Yang Hu for many years are not tolerant.This is tantamount to not giving Yang Hu "face", but Yang Hu, who has no face, is very happy and promotes Wang Jun vigorously. He first became a Zhonglang and later became the prefect of Berkshire.At that time, Berkshire, which is now Chongqing in Sichuan, bordered on the territory of Soochow, and was an important strategic location in the Western Jin Dynasty.Being able to take charge of such an important place is naturally due to Yang Hu's appreciation for Wang Jun.However, after Wang Jun took office, he realized that this appreciation was conditional: Berkshire was the most troublesome place in the Western Jin border town at that time.

Before the Western Jin Dynasty unified China, the main feature of Berkshire as the border of the Western Jin Dynasty was one word: chaos.Years of wars have made the local people miserable. The area bordering Soochow has almost become a no-man's land. A large number of people have fled, and large areas of land are barren.But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is the local "abandoned baby" trend that has lasted for a long time.Due to the long-term war, the burden on the people of Berkshire is very heavy, especially the frequent military service, and every family has people who died in battle.To avoid military service, most families are reluctant to have boys.At that time, there was no advanced abortion and contraceptive technology, so families who gave birth to boys, many of the children were quietly thrown away after they were born.Even later, on the main road leading to the outside world in Berkshire, every time you walk, you can see the abandoned baby boy on the side of the road. Such a situation can be said to be confusing.

There were also many troubles outside Berkshire. At that time, the Chongqing area was still in the period when Han and Yi lived together. There were many ethnic minority tribes around Berkshire. Because of the poor economy, they often harassed the people of Berkshire.The Western Jin army guarding the local area also often bullied others and plundered the surrounding ethnic minority tribes. Since Cao Weiping destroyed Shu, for decades, the fighting between the local army and the ethnic minorities has never stopped.The government is poor, the people are suffering, and there are many wars. This is the chaotic situation that Wang Jun, who was a magistrate for the first time, faced. But Wang Jun was not afraid. When he was an official in Hedong, the emperor's family and relatives didn't pay much attention to him, so Berkshire's troubles were nothing.However, he went against the harsh approach he had taken when he was cracking down on corruption, and "government with leniency" in Berkshire. He even introduced the earliest "rewarding childbearing" policy in Chinese history, stipulating that anyone with a boy in the family will be rewarded by the state. For families that give birth to boys, the state also bears part of the living expenses and reduces or exempts taxes.He also reduced or exempted various taxes that the local people had to bear before.As a result, the local order quickly settled down. Wang Jun, who is tolerant towards the common people, is still relentless in dealing with corruption. When he was the prefect of Berkshire, he punished corrupt officials many times.At that time, the local generals often seized the land of the common people. After Wang Jun arrived, he re-examined the land around Berkshire, and returned all the occupied land to the original owner.In just a few short years, in Berkshire, which suffered from the war, refugees returned one after another, and the population and land increased greatly. The land of self-cultivated farmers, which only the state can collect taxes, actually increased by four times during his tenure. , and the population tripled.Not only did the people of Berkshire live and work in peace and contentment, but even the people of Soochow, the "enemy country" opposite, joined Berkshire one after another.In the last year of his tenure as the prefect of Berkshire, the number of people who belonged to Berkshire from Soochow was more than 30,000. For the Western Jin Dynasty, which aspired to unify the world, this move naturally played the role of a "united front". Because of his outstanding achievements in governing Berkshire, Wang Jun quickly emerged in the political arena of the Western Jin Dynasty, and later he served as the prefect of Guanghan.Guanghan, which is today's Suining, Sichuan, was appointed as the prefect of Guanghan, and Wang Jun did something that almost brought him death.In 272 AD, Yizhou military officer Zhang Hong rebelled, killed Sima Yan, the governor of Yizhou, and sent troops to attack Guanghan on a large scale.Although Wang Jun had a large number of troops at that time, the military system of the Western Jin Dynasty required an order from the imperial court to mobilize the army. Otherwise, not a single soldier could be mobilized. Under the urgent situation of the rebellion, Wang Jun made a decisive decision and mobilized without waiting for the imperial court's order. The Guanghan garrison quelled the rebellion.At this time, the Guanghan garrison was very capable of fighting under Wang Jun's long-term and rigorous training. Although Zhang Hong had an absolute advantage in military strength, he was completely defeated.Afterwards, some officials criticized Wang Jun's actions, but under the protection of the old leader Yang Hu, Wang Jun was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei, and he was given the title of governor of Yizhou.The governor of Yizhou was the most powerful magistrate in Southwest China at that time. Its jurisdiction included most of today's Sichuan and parts of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Tibet. It could be called the "King of the Southwest". In this position, Wang Jun still continues his "vicious" style, but the target has changed, mainly not corrupt officials, but various "cults" in the local area.Although the Yizhou area at that time was part of the Western Jin Dynasty, this area did not receive the attention of the Western Jin government at the beginning. Most of the people living there were migrant farmers from the north.Due to the loose rule, after the demise of the Shu Han regime, various cult organizations spreading strange powers and gods were active. They deceived the local villagers, established sects, formed cliques, raped women, and even attacked each other to instigate rebellion. The former Zhang Hong The rebellion, too, was run by local sects.For this kind of problem, most of the previous government departments turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, happily doing nothing.Wang Jun is a person who does not rub the sand in his eyes. After he took office, he immediately banned various cults and cracked down on the crimes committed by cult members.However, he is not just "high pressure". In order to completely eradicate the cult, he also conducted a public trial of the cult leaders, declared their crimes, and exposed the deceptive tricks of various cults.He even organized a "propaganda team" to visit various villages, which can be said to "help the masses get rid of feudal superstition".At the same time, he vigorously engaged in "spiritual civilization construction". The government paid for the establishment of schools in the local area, and hired teachers from the Central Plains to give lectures, that is, "emphasis on education".This move has an important impact on the entire history of Sichuan.Since the war at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of Sichuan has increased, mixed with fish and dragons, the local turmoil has continued, and the culture is extremely backward. Wang Jun’s move has allowed Confucian culture to spread in the land of Sichuan again. It has a positive effect on both the stability of people’s hearts and the development of culture in Sichuan. Significance. The outstanding achievements over the years made Wang Jun an "excellent local official" in the Western Jin Dynasty at that time, and was transferred to the "Great Secretary of Agriculture" for this reason.Before he left, because of his high prestige in Yizhou, the local people struggled to stay and sent him off along the mountains of Sichuan. Some people even followed him all the way from Chengdu to Chongqing.He was promoted this time also because he was recommended by the old leader Yang Hu, because at this time Yang Hu was planning a major event for Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan-the unification of China. At this time, the Western Jin regime and the Soochow regime were facing each other from north to south. The Western Jin Dynasty owned the entire northern part of China and the Sichuan Basin, while Soochow’s rule was limited to a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. It seemed that there was only one last step left to unify China, but this last step was not easy.For many years, Soochow's naval army was the strongest in China at that time. Although the Western Jin Dynasty had the most powerful army at that time, it was useless in the water.In particular, the main warships of Soochow were much larger than those of the Western Jin Dynasty.Over the years, from Cao Wei to the Western Jin Dynasty, there have also been attacks on Soochow. No matter how well the land is fought, as long as you go to the Yangtze River, you will be beaten badly by Soochow.Crossing the river became an "unsolvable problem" for the Western Jin Dynasty to unify the country, and Wang Jun was here to solve this problem. When Wang Jun was transferred to the post of Da Si Nong, there was a folk song in Luoyang City, "A Tong to A Tong, floating across the river with a knife in his hand, not afraid of beasts on the shore, but afraid of dragons in the water".The meaning of this folk song is that a person named "A Tong" will eventually complete the great cause of reunification. Coincidentally, Wang Jun's nickname is "A Tong".When Wang Jun was a senior minister, Yang Hu, who had always admired him, was also transferred back to the capital. Sima Yan often called Yang Hu to discuss the strategy of destroying Wu.Yang Hu believes that the key to destroying Soochow is to have a powerful navy, and to have a strong navy, you must first have a powerful warship, so he proposed a huge "shipbuilding" The main person in charge of the plan is Wang Jun.This plan required the construction of a large number of new warships, which were huge in size and were called "building boats" at the time. It would cost the country a lot of money and mobilize a lot of manpower, and a little carelessness might stir up civil uprisings.So after the plan was proposed, Emperor Wu of Jin himself hesitated.Yang Hu told Emperor Wu of Jin that the only person who could complete this plan was Wang Jun.After several considerations, Emperor Wu of Jin finally ordered Wang Jun to return to the post of governor of Yizhou to implement the "shipbuilding plan" for the great cause of unification. After getting the plan, Wang Jun realized how difficult it was.This plan requires the construction of hundreds of "building ships". Under the technological conditions at the time, this is like a modern country needing to build hundreds of aircraft carriers in a short period of time. The difficulty can be imagined.The main location of the shipbuilding is the Sichuan area where Wang Jun has been an official for many years. This project consumes a lot of manpower and materials, and it is likely to become a burden on the local people.Wang Jun, who has lived in Sichuan for many years, also knows that Sichuan at that time had always been a place of "chaos". Because of the distance from the central government, riots often occurred there, and the ethnic minorities in the south often harassed the place. A big event that affects the whole body. Wang Jun rose to the challenge, and in 273 A.D., this huge plan was launched in Sichuan.There were many difficulties from the beginning of the project, the first being the lack of people.This new type of warship, each with a length of 120 steps, can carry 2,000 soldiers, and there are tall fortresses on the warships, which can be called the world's aircraft carrier at that time.Building such a behemoth, no one can't handle it, but there is really no one in Sichuan at this time.When Wang Jun guarded Sichuan in the early years, his main energy was to reclaim farmland and resume production. There were very few idle laborers in the area. Now that he wanted to build ships, he had to conscript a large number of farmers. Not to mention the agricultural waste, once the expropriation was excessive, it was likely to cause farmers to rebel.Wang Jun solved this problem very cleverly. He reduced the number of recruited civilians as much as possible and mobilized a large number of garrison troops guarding Sichuan to participate in the project.There was still not enough manpower, so he mobilized the servants and even officials from various yamen in Sichuan.On this issue, Wang Jun took the initiative to play the "leading role of cadres". He himself lived on the construction site and participated in the labor. In this way, no one dared to desert. In terms of project schedule, Wang Jun has a lot of ideas. For example, he uses the silk in stock in the local area to exchange wood with local natives in Sichuan, which saves the process of mobilizing peasants to go into the mountains to log. The efficiency of shipbuilding has been greatly improved due to the trade of various local ethnic groups.At the same time, he established a shift system, and the garrisons in various places took turns to participate in the construction according to the time, so as to save labor as much as possible.And Wang Jun also knew that to defeat Soochow, it was not enough to have warships, but also to have a navy with rich combat experience.According to the arrangement of general generals, there must be warships first, and then the navy training. Wang Jun is very particular about overall planning. Carry out navy training and let soldiers familiarize themselves with warships through the shipbuilding process. According to the previous budget of the Western Jin Dynasty government, this huge project would take five years to complete, but it took only one year for Wang Jun to complete it.However, Wang Jun has done all the calculations, and still missed one thing: the project is so huge, there is bound to be a lot of wood chips from the shipbuilding period going down the river, and their east is the Soochow regime, so if you keep it secret , things will eventually reveal their secrets. The Soochow people did know that in Wushan, Sichuan, which was occupied by the Soochow people at that time, there were a lot of sawdust floating here.The frontier general stationed there was Wu Yan, a famous general at the end of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He immediately understood what Wang Jun wanted to do, and quickly reported the matter to Sun Hao, the leader of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, but Sun Hao didn't take it seriously.Even so, Wu Yan did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately built a large number of wooden piles on the river surface in the Dongwu waters, and connected them with iron chains to prevent the Western Jin navy from advancing eastward. The shipbuilding plan was successfully completed, and the news that Soochow strengthened its border defense quickly spread to the Western Jin Dynasty.At this time, the Western Jin Dynasty was still divided on the issue of whether to go south to destroy Wu.At that time, those who supported the southward extermination of Wu were mostly local real power factions with outstanding achievements, such as Yang Hu, a famous general who has always admired Wang Jun, and Du Yu, Zhang Hua and others. Soochow came to make great achievements through the ages.Those who strongly opposed it were Jia Chong and others who helped Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan seize power in the early years. Most of the reasons for their opposition were based on the fact that the Western Jin Dynasty and even the Northern Wei Dynasty had repeatedly conquered Soochow. The real reason is not that simple.This group of people established their status by helping Sima Yan seize power. Most of them have no achievements in the military. to the threat.The most active opponent here is Sima Yan's favorite minister Jia Chong. He not only obstructed the march many times, but also secretly instructed his subordinates to rectify Yanghu's "black material", falsely accusing Yanghu of colluding with Soochow and plotting wrongdoing.This debate continued after the completion of the shipbuilding plan. In 278 AD, Yang Hu, who had always advocated the destruction of Soochow, passed away. Jun lost a bosom friend who appreciated him.If no one comes forward, the opposition who have the upper hand at this time will definitely try their best to obstruct the plan of the Southern Expedition, and the great cause of China's reunification may be postponed again. At this time, Wang Jun stepped forward. Before him, Zhang Hua, Du Yu and others had submitted memorials to ask for the Southern Expedition, but Sima Yan was still unable to make up his mind. It was 279 AD that really made him make up his mind. Wang Jun's memorial.In this memorial, Wang Jun did not use the comparison of the military strength of the two sides to talk about things like other people, because others have said too much. Wang Jun only said one thing: Sun Hao, the current leader of Soochow, Faint and cruel, he has already caused many people to betray him. Even if the Western Jin Dynasty does not attack him, he is likely to be overthrown by the army and people of Soochow. It's even harder.This memorial made Sima Yan understand the fact: it is the best opportunity in a thousand years to destroy Soochow now, and this shop will disappear after passing this village. Naturally, Sima Yan didn't want to miss the opportunity. Not long after Wang Jun's memorial was delivered, Sima Yan issued an edict to destroy Wu.The last large-scale war in the history of the Three Kingdoms began. The Southern Expedition of the Western Jin Dynasty was divided into six groups: Langya King Sima Ni was in charge of attacking northern Jiangsu and Anhui, Jianwei General Wang Rong was in charge of attacking Wuchang, and Pingnan General Hu Fen was in charge of attacking Xia. Du Yu, the great general of Zhennan, was in charge of attacking Jiangling, Wang Hun, the general of Anton, was in charge of attacking Huaixi, and Wang Jun, the governor of Yizhou, was in charge of leading the invincible fleet built by himself to the east of the river.On the thousand-mile front from east to west, the Jin army, which had been silent for many years, was dispatched across the board.The "commander" of the Southern Expedition this time was Jia Chong, a long-time anti-war faction, who was appointed as the governor by Sima Yan.Even at this time, Jia Chong still desperately opposed the war. First he refused to obey the order, and after he was ordered, he delayed many times and changed the date of entering the army without authorization. The appointment of Jia Chong as the governor of the Southern Expedition was Sima Yan's "political balance" strategy.After the war, the advance of the Western Jin Dynasty was not smooth. Under Jia Chong's blind command, several fronts in East China and Central China suffered setbacks.Fortunately, the commander of the most critical road was Wang Jun. He set off from Sichuan to the east and encountered the hardest nail in the Jin army's campaign to destroy Wu: the defense line that Wu Yan set up in Wushan to stop the Western Jin navy.This line of defense can be said to be painstaking. In the waters of Wushan Canyon, Wu Yan built many large wooden stakes in dangerous places on the river, nailed large iron chains to block the river, and put iron cones more than ten feet high. Ann under the surface of the water.Wang Jun's Armada is like a group of Titanic facing an iceberg.In front of the "iceberg", Wang Jun already had a solution. He knew hydraulics very well.For those iron awls waiting to pierce warships, he prepared a large number of bamboo rafts. When attacking, put the bamboo rafts first. The bamboo raft and the stuck iron cone were washed away together.This move had an immediate effect, thousands of sharp iron cones were swept away by the bamboo raft without a trace.As for the iron chains, it was easier to handle. Wang Jun set up a large torch on the raft, and these torches were filled with sesame oil, and they burned at one point.He let these rafts with big torches drive in front of the warship, and when they encountered iron chains, they burned a raging fire. After a long time, the chains and locks were all burnt.Soochow's painstakingly built defense line just disappeared, and Wang Jun's road to the east has so far been flat. After a flat river, it will be like a broken bamboo.In the first month of 280 A.D., Wang Jun conquered Yichang, the important town of Soochow, and captured Soochow's Zhennan General Liu Xian.The process of this battle made people laugh and cry. When the large group of Western Jin warships arrived in Yichang, the Soochow army, which had never seen such a behemoth, was suddenly frightened and dumbfounded. The army of the Western Jin Dynasty took the city.In February, Wang Jun occupied Songzi, Hubei again, and captured Lu Yan, the supervisor of Eastern Wu.When he won the battle, the progress of the other five-way armies was not going well, and he encountered constant resistance from the Soochow army. Soochow's defense line collapsed all of a sudden.Then Wang Jun joined forces with Hu Fen, another army, and successively captured Xiakou and Wuchang.Wherever they went, the demoralized Soochow army had lost the courage to resist. As long as they saw the "Wang" battle flag, they either surrendered or fled. Wang Jun's successive victories are of decisive significance to the entire battle situation of the Western Jin Dynasty going south, and the reason lies in the words "the natural danger of the Yangtze River".In ancient Chinese history, the regime entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River can be preserved mainly because of the geographical advantages of the Yangtze River.There is a prerequisite for this geographical advantage, that is, the Jiangnan area must be protected by the adjacent Jingxiang area.Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Cao Cao first attacked Liu Biao in the Jingzhou area before the Southern Expedition to Soochow. After the fall of Jingzhou, why the voice of Soochow's surrender was so loud.But at that time there was Zhou Yu in Soochow, and Soochow at the time of Wang Jun was already at the end of the dynasty.After leveling the entire Jingzhou area, Wang Jun's troops were already exhausted, and other armies were approaching Jiankang. At this time, Wang Jun had two choices. One was to continue to advance eastward and seize Jiankang, or the other was to rest in place. , waiting for reinforcements.At that time, Wang Jun's troops were all inclined to the second type. After all, the troops occupied Jingzhou and had completed the previous combat missions, so it was natural for them to rest.Wang Jun knew that the war was not over. Just like what he said to his subordinates, Soochow still has a lot of troops in Jiankang at this time. If we stand still, it will be difficult for them to conquer Jiankang once they gain a foothold. At his insistence, the troops continued to move eastward towards Jiankang.It is estimated that even Wang Jun himself did not expect that there would be unexpected gains in this march.Because he advanced too fast, his army approached Jiankang faster than the other armies.Hearing that Wang Jun had killed him, Sun Hao still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. If he used it to defend Jiankang, he might be able to last for a while, but Sun Hao, who was red-eyed, couldn't help but immediately sent General Zhang Xiang took the initiative to attack Wang Jun.After Zhang Xiang sent troops, he witnessed Wang Jun's navy with his own eyes. Facing Wang Jun's terrifyingly tall building boat, Zhang Xiang was frightened immediately and decided to surrender on the spot. As a result, Sun Hao's last bit of family wealth surrendered just like that. Desperate, Sun Hao had no choice but to send up and down lists to the Jin troops from all walks of life.When the news came, troops from all walks of life, which had been advancing slowly, marched towards Jiankang one after another. Everyone wanted to pacify Soochow, but Wang Jun took advantage of it.He was traveling by boat, faster than the others.In 280 A.D., Wang Jun marched into Jiankang City. Sun Hao, the lord of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, led the prince and all the officials. At the gate of Wang Jun's barracks, his hands were tied behind his back, and a coffin was carried to surrender to Wang Jun.This is the customary surrender ceremony of ancient Chinese monarchs.The era of the Three Kingdoms with a divided structure has since come to an end. After the surrender of Eastern Wu, Wang Jun became the number one hero in the unification war of the Western Jin Dynasty with the great achievement of "the first person to destroy Wu". No offense.After entering Jiankang City, the first thing Wang Jun did was to quickly check the albums and classics in the Wu Palace, and seal up the Soochow treasury, waiting for the imperial court to send officials to take over.In the Western Jin Dynasty’s war against Wu, a total of 4 states in Soochow, 43 counties, 312 counties, and 523,000 households were acquired. Except for the sporadic wars in the early days, the economy and people’s livelihood in the Jiangnan area were not damaged.This may seem ordinary, but it was of great significance at the time. The Western Jin Dynasty completed the unification of the country with the smallest cost and ensured that the economic damage caused by the war was minimized. Before the Western Jin Dynasty, the regime in the Central Plains used force to unify the south of the Yangtze River. It happened twice in total. One was when the Qin State destroyed the Chu State at the end of the Warring States Period, and the other was when Liu Bang pacified Jiangdong in the early Western Han Dynasty.These two times were met with fierce local resistance in Jiangnan, which caused great damage to Jiangnan's economy.Wang Jun took down Jiangnan without bloodshed, creating a historical miracle. In the subsequent wars when most of the Central Plains regimes unified the South, such a miracle was repeated again and again by later generations. Wang Jun, who made great achievements, was commended by Sima Yan after the war, and was praised by Sima Yan as "the number one hero in destroying Wu".But in the eyes of other generals, Wang Jun's so-called military exploits were more like taking advantage of the situation. After all, he had already easily entered Jiankang City when others were beaten to death.Many people felt unbalanced because of this, and the most unbalanced one was Wang Hun, who had fought side by side with Wang Jun in Jingzhou.Originally, his army was much closer to Jiankang than Wang Jun. He paid heavy casualties and defeated Sun Zhen, the main force of Soochow Wu, so he became selfish and wanted to preserve his strength. Little war money, did not expect that Wang Jun seized the opportunity to enter Jiankang City first.Afterwards, Wang Hun, who shouted that he had been cheated, became jealous of Wang Jun.When Wang Jun first entered Jiankang City, Wang Hun actually wanted to launch a mutiny and annex Wang Jun's troops, but he was not stupid. After seeing Wang Jun's powerful military power, he had no choice but to hold back his breath.However, Wang Jun also "fueled the flames" of the relationship between the two. According to Sima Yan's pre-war arrangement, Wang Jun was to be restrained by Wang Hun, but Wang Jun didn't buy it. In the early days of Wang Jun's eastward march, Wang Hun once asked Wang Jun to come to his army to discuss matters in the name of "leadership". Wang Jun refused to obey because the wind was strong and it was not easy to anchor the ship.With Wang Jun's hard-line personality, it's natural that a bastard like Wang Hun can't command.As a result, personal grievances and jealousy made Wang Hun jump up and down.He first falsely accused Wang Jun of looting and harming the local area (in fact, most of the "crimes" were often committed by Wang Hun), and Wang Jun was not a person who could suffer, so he immediately wrote a memorial to refute it.In front of Emperor Wu of Jin, the two confronted each other on the spot. Wang Jun could not only fight but also scold.Knowing Wang Jun's great achievements, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty quickly reconciled with the mud, and named Wang Jun the general of the auxiliary country. He also specially set up a new official position for Wang Jun-infantry captain.This is equivalent to being the "Chief of the Army" of the Western Jin Dynasty, which can be described as extremely honorable.Even so, Wang Jun was not satisfied, because Wang Hun, who had been falsely accusing him, was also appointed as an official. Jia Chong, who had always been an opponent of the Southern Expedition, performed horribly in the war, and was rewarded for his great achievements in Pingnan afterwards.If it was someone else, they wouldn't care about it. If it were Wang Jun, it would be impossible for him not to care about it. After the destruction of Wu, Wang Jun often complained at various banquets, complaining about Sima Yan's unfair rewards and punishments.If he met emperors like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Jun might be killed, but Sima Yan was generous and didn't care too much about Wang Jun.Fan Tong, Wang Jun's confidant, was very far-sighted and persuaded Wang Jun many times to treat others with humility and not to be arrogant. At first Wang Jun didn't take it seriously, but Fan Tong said, "I compare myself to Han Xin, how about that?", finally Wang Jun came to his senses. .After that, Wang Hun never stopped slandering Wang Jun. Most of Wang Jun was careful and guarded, and he no longer had to take revenge. What happened to Wang Jun also won the sympathy of many aristocratic families at that time, such as Dr. Qin Xiu, Prince Xima Fukang and others, all complained about Sima Yan's unfair rewards and punishments.In addition, Wang Jun had already realized the truth of "the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking" at this time, and he began to behave with his tail between his legs, so his official position also rose steadily. Within a few years after the peace of Wu, he had become the "General of the Fujun" in the Western Jin Dynasty , can be described as the first person in the Western Jin army.However, at this time, Wang Jun no longer had the vigorous and enterprising spirit of his youth. Instead, he regained his true qualities as a "second generation ancestor". "Fighting for wealth" among big families.In 285 AD, the 80-year-old Wang Jun passed away. More than 500 years later, Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, praised Wang Jun's contribution in his famous work "Nostalgia for the Ancients in Xisai Mountain".
