Chapter 16: The Fall of Wu
After Shu Han fell, the pattern of the Three Kingdoms became a confrontation between Wei and Wu. Wei had already usurped to become Jin and was the most powerful country. Although Wu still had some strength, it could no longer contend with Jin.
Jin began preparing to attack Wu. Sima Yan dispatched troops southward, intending to destroy Wu and unify all of China. This was a historic moment, meaning that China, which had been divided for nearly a century, was about to be reunified.
Although Wu's army resisted with all its might, the disparity in strength was too great. Jin's army was well-equipped and high in morale, and Wu's army could not withstand it. Wu's cities fell one by one, and its defense lines gradually collapsed.
Sun Hao was the last emperor of Wu, but he was incompetent and could not save Wu's fate. He indulged in wine and women and ignored court administration, making Wu's situation even more deteriorated.
Ultimately, Jin's army broke through Jianye, and Sun Hao surrendered. The fall of Wu marked the complete end of the Three Kingdoms era. China was reunified and entered the period of Jin rule.
The end of the Three Kingdoms was a historical necessity. Although heroes from various countries had tried to maintain their forces, unification was the general trend, and no one could stop it.
