Later, everyone learned from the messenger that when the Wu army arrived at the city of Weiwu, the former Shu guards Tang Jingsi, Zhou Yan and others led the army to surrender; The Wu army not only captured 200,000 stones of grain and grass in the city, but also captured nearly 10,000 defenders.

After receiving the news of such a great victory, Guo Chongtao was immediately overjoyed and said: "Weiwu City fell into the hands of our army so quickly, and the enemy army must not have expected it. If our army can attack Fengzhou day and night, we will definitely be able to capture it in one fell swoop! ”

After Yang Jiong listened to Guo Chongtao's suggestion, he suddenly felt a little risky.

However, he also knew that he didn't have much experience in military affairs, so he turned to Zhou Ben and Chai Zaiyong and asked, "I don't know what the two generals think?" ”

Zhou Ben and the others are both old people who have fought in battle, and they know the truth of the speed of soldiers, and they know that it is worth taking a little risk at this time.

So the two immediately said: "Guo Shumi's plan is feasible. ”

Seeing that the three of them advocated immediately marching quickly to attack Fengzhou, Yang Jiong had nothing to say, and he gave the order.

After that, the Wu army accelerated the speed of the march, and Huo Yanwei, as the vanguard, after receiving the military order from the rear, released all the captured enemy troops, and then marched towards Fengzhou with a large army.

Sure enough, as expected by Guo Chongtao and others, the defenders of Fengzhou were not prepared for the arrival of the Wu army at all, and when the rout soldiers who arrived in advance told them that the Wu army was about to attack, they panicked.

Eventually, when the Wu army arrived at the city of Fengzhou, the defenders of Fengzhou also chose to surrender.

Then, the Wu army continued southward and launched an attack on Xingzhou.

Xingzhou is the station of Wang Chengjie, the envoy of Wuxing Festival of Shu State, originally Yang Jiong and others thought that they would have a fierce battle with the Shu army when they arrived here, but what they did not expect was that when the Wu army arrived in Xingzhou, Wang Chengjie took the seal festival of Feng, Xing, Wen and Fu and came to surrender.

In this way, the Wu army not only did not suffer the slightest loss, but received more than 8,000 troops and 400,000 stone of grain in the city.

Such a huge victory is really unbelievable, so much so that Yang Jiong had to sigh: "Although Shu has the danger of mountains and rivers, the people's hearts have been lost, and the army has no heart to fight." This time, Pingshu is lonely and worry-free! ”

In fact, not only was the progress of the Northern Route Army going smoothly, but also the progress of the Wu Army in the south was extremely smooth.

Liu Xin led 30,000 Wu troops to Guizhou, and at the same time there were 5,000 naval troops along the Yangtze River upstream, and when they arrived in Guizhou, Wang Guangben, the general of Shu Guizhou, immediately led his troops to surrender, and took the initiative to ask Liu Xin to lead his army as the vanguard of the Wu army.

For this request, Liu Xin couldn't laugh or cry.

At the beginning, the Shu army in Wang Jian's era, whether it was at war with the Wu army or when it was fighting with the Qi army, had a good performance, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, the Shu army actually became like this.

It can also be seen from this that Wang Yan has been so unpopular in Shu over the years that the army's morale has collapsed and he has no determination to resist.

However, the next battle of the Wu army was not as smooth as before, because they were about to attack the real fortified city.

On the side of the Wu army on the southern front, after capturing Guizhou, the Wu army soon confronted Zhang Wu, the envoy of the Zhenjiang army of Shu State.

This Zhang Wu is a rare general in Shu today, who has been guarding Kuizhou for a long time and resisting the Wu army.

He had an excellent performance when he rescued Gao Jichang in Shu and Liang coalition forces and had a fierce battle with the Wu army, and then the Wu army attacked Shu and was also defeated by his troops.

At this time, the Wu army attacked Kuizhou again, and it was as if it had encountered an iron wall, and it was difficult to advance in front of the fortified city.

Fortunately, although the southern side encountered resistance, the Wu army in the north made smooth progress.

At the end of March, the Wu army of the northern line arrived in Sanquan County, which is the famous Yangping Pass, and after the Yangping Pass is the Xingyuan Mansion, that is, the later Hanzhong, where the Shu State set up the Shannan Jiedu envoy to be responsible for the town guard.

When the Wu army arrived in Sanquan, the news of the Wu army's troops pressing the border had also reached Chengdu, and Wang Yan was immediately angry and scolded, saying how Yang Wu was insidious and cunning, and had no faith.

It's a pity that scolding alone won't help at this time, and the only way is to immediately send troops to rescue Sanquan County.

At this time, Wang Yan did not hesitate, even if he sent Wang Zongxun and other three commanders to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to Sanquan day and night, he himself personally led 50,000 troops to send troops as a follow-up.

However, Wang Yan was content with pleasure in the end and did not know about military affairs.

Although he sent 30,000 troops to the rescue, he did not appoint a general to command the support army, but handed over 30,000 troops to Wang Zongxun and other three commanders.

The government of Shu was originally made into a miasma by Wang Yan, and the internal struggle for power and profit was extremely serious, and the three people appointed by Wang Yan and Wang Zongxun were not people who were dedicated to the public, but before they reached the front line, there was a quarrel between the three of them.

In early April, 30,000 Shu reinforcements arrived in Sanquan and engaged the Wu army.

In this battle, the Wu army did not rush to attack, but first held the position with the infantry army, waiting for the Shu army to attack first.

Originally, the Shu army had a strong city to defend, and it was a taboo to rashly engage the Wu army, but at this time, the three commanders of the Shu army even took the initiative to attack the Wu army in order to fight for power and profit, and seemed to be worried that the credit for defeating the Wu army would be given by the other two.

The Wu army was originally good at defense, and it was not inferior when facing the elite of the Jin army, but now in the face of the attack of the Shu army, it is naturally even more ignorant.

After repelling the attack of the Shu army, it was the turn of the Wu army to take the lead.

But this time, the Wu army was a newly formed army, which was 3,000 heavy cavalry, which was given the name of the Beiwei Army by Yang Wu.

In the era of cold weapons, if the cavalry wanted to gain sufficient combat effectiveness, the best way was naturally to develop into heavy cavalry equipped with men and horses.

Most of the powerful cavalry units in history are heavily armored cavalry, such as the Xuanjia in the early Tang Dynasty, the Tielin Army of the Liao State, the Iron Harrier of the Western Xia, the Tiefutu of the Jin State, the Kidnapping Horse, the Chain Horse, etc., all of which are famous heavy armored cavalry.

Although Wu also established 10,000 cavalry before, it was difficult for Wu's horse farms to produce enough war horses for heavy cavalry, so most of them were light cavalry, and only a few heavy cavalry.

This problem was not solved until more than two years ago when the Wu army defeated the Jin army in Pingyin and captured a large number of war horses, and then Wu used the captured war horses to successfully form a heavy cavalry of 5,000 people.

At this time, the Shu army had just been repelled by the Wu army, and before it had time to rest, the Wu army had already launched a counterattack, and it was directly invested in the heavy armored cavalry, which was a big killing weapon, and it didn't take long to be defeated, more than 5,000 people were killed before and after, and the remaining enemy troops scattered and fled.

After the reinforcements were defeated, the Sanquan defenders suddenly broke up, and it didn't take long for them to surrender, and the Wu army captured 150,000 stone of grain here.

In this way, the Wu army did not even need to transfer grain and grass from the rear, and only needed to rely on the capture to supply the army, which greatly reduced the burden of logistical supplies.

At this time, the follow-up army led by Wang Yan had just arrived in Lizhou, and when he learned that the front line had been defeated, Wang Yan was suddenly frightened, and even if he fled quickly from Lizhou to Chengdu, he dismantled the pontoon bridges along the way to prevent the Wu army from pursuing.

Then, Wang Yan ordered Zhongshu to order Wang Zongbi to lead the army to hold Lizhou, and left him an edict to behead Wang Zongxun and other three commanders after returning to Lizhou.

The Shu army was originally demoralized and had no fighting spirit, but now Wang Yan abandoned the army and fled first, and the Shu army was even more demoralized after hearing the news.

The ensuing war was smoother for the Wu State, and after the capture of Sanquan, the Xingyuan Mansion soon fell into the hands of the Wu State.

Next, Yang Jiong, at the suggestion of Zhou Ben, left 5,000 men to guard Sanquan and Xingyuanfu to ensure that the rear road was not cut off by the enemy, while the main force of the Wu army drove straight into Lizhou.

In the face of the large-scale attack of the Wu army, the Shu side was in chaos, the guards everywhere were panicked, the soldiers of the army were panicked, and the morale was extremely low.

Song Guangbao, Wang Chengzhao, Wang Chengzhao, Wang Zongwei, Wang Chengyue, Wang Chengyue, and others, sent people to Wu Jun to surrender, and their only request was to keep their wealth and wealth, hoping to continue to serve as the envoy of Jiedu.

In the face of such a request, Yang Jiong naturally couldn't agree, Wu's national policy was to weaken local forces and prevent the festival from making it bigger, how could Song Guangbao and others still be retained now?

So the Wu army continued to attack, but before the Wu army arrived in Lizhou, Wang Zongbi, the defender of Lizhou, conspired with Wang Zongxun and other three commanders to surrender the Wu army together.

Next, the Wu army drove straight into Jianzhou.

The Jianzhou defenders relied on the fortified city in a vain attempt to resist the Wu army; It's a pity that although he has the determination to defend the city, his soldiers are not.

A few days later, the defenders of Jianzhou launched a rebellion and sent the guards to the Wu army camp to surrender.

At this time, even a fool could see that the Shu State had gone on a general trend, and the victory of the Wu army was inevitable.

Therefore, Song Guangbao, Wang Chengzhao and others did not dare to put forward too high requirements at this time, they all just hoped to protect their families, and if they could continue to hold an official and a half position in Wu State, they would be satisfied.

This time, Yang Jiong did not refuse them again, but accepted their invitation to surrender.

In this way, Zi, Mian, Long, Pu, Yang, Peng, Bi, Liang, Kai, Tong, Qu, Lin, Jie, the territory of the thirteen states all fell into the hands of Wu.

At this point, all the dangerous places in front of Chengdu have all fallen into the hands of Wu State.

At the end of April, Wu's army captured Hanzhou; A few days later, the army arrived at the city of Chengdu and began to besiege the city.

By this time, Wang Yan had already rebelled and left, and in the face of the attack of the Wu army, he could only cry with his ministers, but he was helpless about how to break the siege.

A few days later, Wang Yan had no choice but to lead the ministers and hundreds of officials out of the city to surrender.

At this point, the foundation that Wang Jian had worked hard to establish for decades was completely destroyed.
