In history, the fall of Shu was expected by Xue Jue, a native of Wu, and at the beginning of Wei's invasion of Shu, Zhang Yi of Eastern Wu thought that it was likely to succeed in one fell swoop, so he was ridiculed. The Sun and Wu courts had earlier sent troops to rescue Shu Han, but after Liu Chan surrendered, he turned to seize the territory of Yizhou, but was repulsed by Luo Xian.

[Xue Jue, Zhang Yi on Shu]

According to the records of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Han and Jin Dynasties, Xue Jue was entrusted by the lord of Wu to go to Shu, and after returning to China, he told Sun Xiu about the situation in Shu: "The monarch of Shu was deaf and did not understand his own mistakes, and the ministers only sought to protect their position without fault. When the minister heard that the finch on the top of the high hall thought that he was living comfortably, but when the building was burned down, the finch was content, not knowing that disaster was coming. ”

According to the "Xiangyang Old Records", after Wei attacked Shu Han, someone in Wu asked Zhang Yi: "Since the Sima clan came to power, there have been many disasters, although there is enough intelligence and courage, but the people have not obeyed him. Now they are pouring their financial resources into an expedition to Shu Han, the soldiers and the people are tired, and they don't know how to sympathize, and the defeat is not far away, how can they succeed? Back then, the husband was not because he lost the battle, but because he failed because he didn't consider his own roots, not to mention that he wanted to fight for land! ”

Zhang Yi said: "That's not the case. Although Cao Cao covered China, shocked the world, advocated power and skill, and conquered excessively, the people were afraid of his severity, but they did not feel his virtue. Cao Pi and Cao Ei inherited, wanted to rely on cruelty and tyranny to maintain their regime, built palaces inside, feared heroes outside, and the eastern and western borders were constantly harassed, not a year was peaceful, it (Cao Wei) lost the hearts of the people, not a matter of one or two days, it has been a long time. And Sima Yi's father and son, who are in power and have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, have abolished the onerous taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and have been gracious to the people, and the people have been subservient to them for a long time. Therefore, Huainan rebelled three times and their hearts were not disturbed, Cao Chao died, and the surroundings were not alarmed, destroying a strong enemy is like breaking a dead branch, and it is easy to quell a traitor, let them do their best, if it is not for the wisdom and bravery, who can be like this? Their might has been proclaimed, the foundation of government has been consolidated, the hearts of the people have been subjugated, and their ambitions have been established. Now the Shu Han Dynasty, the eunuch dictatorship, the country has no government order, the army is reckless, and the soldiers and the people are tired. He only wants to fish for the benefit of the outside world, and does not repair the garrison. It's a difference between strength and weakness. The strategy is superior, and if you take advantage of the danger and attack, you can probably win. If you can't achieve victory, if you don't have any fault or merit, and if you don't have to worry about retreating to the north in the end, why can't you do it? Their success will bring us a blessing. The man laughed at his words, and as a result, Shu Han really surrendered to Cao Wei.

【Sun Wu countermeasures】

After Liu Chan surrendered, Sun Wu immediately stopped the rescue operations of Ding Feng and others. At that time, Yan Yu in the eastern part of Shu Han led troops to rescue the capital of Cheng (cheng), leaving Luo Xian to guard Yong'an, and the people were terrified after the Wei army attacked, and he killed a person who told the chaos in Cheng (cheng), and the people settled down. When he received the warrant for Liu Chan to announce his surrender, Luo Xian led his soldiers to the capital pavilion in Yong'an and wept for three days.

Soochow sent General Sheng Man to the west, ostensibly pretending to be rescue, but inwardly to attack Luo Xian. After Luo Xian learned about it, he said: "Our country has overturned, and the state of Wu is a state of lips and teeth, and I would rather be a prisoner of surrender if I don't compensate for our calamities, but I want to seek profit." "Then he returned to the Wei Dynasty. So he insisted on the city to renovate the equipment, admonished the officers and men of the whole army, and inspired them with righteousness, and the whole army was indignant.

The Wu people heard that Zhonghui and Deng Ai had failed and that there was no owner in the hundred cities, so they had the heart to annex Shu, but the defense of Badong was strong, and the soldiers could not pass, so they let the Fu Army Infantry Association lead the troops to advance westward. Luo Xian's strength was weak and he couldn't resist, so he sent Yang Zong, who joined the army, to break through the siege and rush to the north, to report to the Anton general Chen Qian, and to send the seals and hostages of civil and military officials to the Duke of Jin. Bu Xie attacked Yong'an, Luo Xian fought with him, and defeated Bu Xie. Sun Xiu, the lord of Wu, was furious, and sent the town army Lu Kang and others to lead 30,000 soldiers to slow down the siege of Luo Xian.

Luo Xian held out for more than six months, but the army that rescued him was not reached, and more than half of the people in the city were infected with the plague. Some people advised him to go south out of the Keke, or to the north to go to the Yong, so that he could be saved. Luo Xian said: "As the master of the people, he is admired by the people, since he can't be preserved, he abandons them when he is in danger, this is what a gentleman does not do." I'm dying here. "It happened that Jingzhou Assassin Shi Hu Lie led an army to attack Xiling, an important town in Jingzhou under Wu, and Lu Kang retreated under the threat of the hinterland. Since then, the siege of Yong'an has been lifted, and Luo Xian has been crowned as the general of Lingjiang, the military supervisor of Badong, the envoy of the festival, and the leader of Wuling.

【Zhongli Mu Pingchao】

After Cao Wei conquered Shu Han, the Wuxi Yi tribe in Wuling County of Eastern Wu bordered Shu Han, and those who talked about it at that time were worried that there would be a rebellion there, so the imperial court appointed Zhong Limu as the general of Ping Wei and the Taishou of Wuling, and let him go to the county to take office. At this time, Cao Wei sent Guo Chun, the magistrate of Hanjia County, to try to serve as the Taishou of Wuling, and led the people of Fuling into the territory of Qianling County in Shu, stationed in Chisha, and lured the leaders of various ethnic minority tribes. Some of these leaders rose up in response to Guo Chun, who attacked Youyang County, and everyone in the county was shocked and frightened.

Zhong Limu asked the officials in the palace: "Shu Han perished, our border was invaded, how can we resist it now?" These people said: "Now that the mountains of these two counties are dangerous, and the barbarian tribes are defending themselves, they must not be disturbed by the army, for they will collude with each other." It should be gradually appeased, and virtuous and faithful officials can be sent to admonish and comfort them. ”

Zhong Limu said, "No. Foreign enemies invade our territory and deceive the people, and we should take advantage of their unstable foundation to extinguish them and attack them. So the order was quickly prepared, and those who obstructed the discussion among the county officials and officials were dealt with by military law. General Fuyi noblely persuaded Zhong Limu: "In the past, Pan Jun led 50,000 soldiers to conquer Wuxiyi. At that time, the alliance with Shu Han was reconciled, and the barbarian tribes obeyed the indoctrination, but now there is no such assistance as in the past, and Guo Chun has occupied Qianling, and you only have 3,000 soldiers to go deep into the dangerous land, I don't see any benefit. Zhong Limu said: "Under special circumstances, how can you stick to the old ways? He immediately led his subordinates, day and night, marched along the dangerous road in the mountains, walked nearly 2,000 miles, and went to Biansai, where he killed more than 100 leaders of the Diao people and more than 1,000 of their henchmen. Guo Chun and others scattered and fled, and Wuxi was pacified. As a result, Zhong Limu was promoted to the governor of public security, the general of Yangwu, the title of marquis of the capital, and transferred to the governor of the city.

[Deterioration of the situation]

After the fall of Shu Han, the three kingdoms collapsed, and Sima Wei had begun to semi-surround Sun Wu, and the world re-emerged a trend of unification, which was extremely unfavorable for Sun Wu.

To make matters worse, after the fall of Shu Han, soon the emperor of Jiangdong, Sun Xiu, also died, although Sun Xiu was very young at that time, he was a rare master, and his departure at this time was a double blow to Sun Wu.

After that, the trend of the Sima family dominating the world gradually became clear, and Cao Wei soon embarked on the old road of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
