Life of the characters

In his early years, he was open-minded

Wang Jun is Hongnong. He was born in the official family of two thousand stone. Wang Jun had a good command of ancient books when he was young, and he was very beautiful. But he did not pay attention to self-cultivation and conduct to gain fame, so he was not praised by the village. Later, I changed my ambition. I was broad-minded and ambitious.

Wang Jun once built his own house and opened a road tens of steps wide in front of the door. Some people told him that the road was too wide. Wang Jun said, "I intend to make the road accommodate the honor guard of the halberd flag." Everyone laughed at him, Wang Jun said: "Chen Sheng said, how can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan?"

Harnessing Hedong

After Wang Jun grew up a little, he was recruited by the prefect to work in Hedong. Because of Wang Jun's strict and clean character, some officials who had never been honest heard that he had arrived at the post, they all left in the hope of the wind. Xu Miao, a member of the state of Yan, had a talented and beautiful daughter who chose her husband and did not marry her. Xu Miao then asked his daughter to watch. Her daughter took a fancy to Wang Jun and told her mother that Xu Miao married her daughter to Wang Jun.

Later, Wang Jun was conquered by Yang Hu, the general of the south, and "joined the army of the South". Yang Hu treated him as a close friend. Yangji, Yanghu's nephew, said to Yanghu, "Wang Jun's ambition is too high and extravagant. He can't take on major tasks alone. He should be restrained." Yang Hu said: "Wang Jun has great talent and will realize his wish. He can be appointed." Later, he became a general of motorcycles and engaged in Zhonglang. People with insight think that Yanghu is a good person to recommend talents.

Transferred to Yizhou

Wang Jun was also the prefect of Bajun. Bajun was bordered by the state of Wu. Soldiers suffered from war corvee and gave birth to many men, who were unwilling to raise them. Wang Jun formulated strict laws and regulations to reduce the taxes on corvee, and those who gave birth could be exempted from corvee. Thousands of babies survived.

In 272, the eighth year of Taishi reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Wang Jun was transferred to be the governor of Guanghan, and he was very much loved by the people. Once, Wang Jun dreamed that there were three knives hanging on the roof beam. After a while, he added another one. Wang Jun was disgusted when he woke up. Li Yi bowed twice to express his congratulations and said, "the three swords are the word of state. Add another one. Fu Jun will be the governor of Yizhou." Soon after, Zhang Hong, a Yizhou yamen general, launched a rebellion and killed Huangfu Yan, the governor of Yizhou. As expected, the imperial court moved Wang Jun to be the governor of Yizhou. Wang Jun set up a stratagem to kill Zhang Hong and others, quell the rebellion and seal the Marquis because of his merits. Wang Jun was in office, widely benevolent government, establish prestige, local people of all ethnic groups, mostly to belong.

Because of his outstanding achievements, Wang Jun was worshipped as a right-wing general and a great Minister of agriculture. At that time, General Yang Hu was planning to level Wu. He knew that Wang Junqi was a little better. Then he put on the seal, and asked Wang Jun to stay in Yizhou to participate in the plan of Pingwu. In the same year, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty restored Wang Jun as governor of Yizhou on the advice of Yang Hu.

Training the Navy

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty planned to destroy Wu. He ordered Wang Jun to build boats and ships. Wang Jun built a large boat with boats and boats in 120 steps. Each boat could carry more than 2000 people. The city around the ship is Muzha, and the watchtower is built. There are four gates in and out, and the ship can gallop. In order to intimidate the God of the river, a monster with the head of a beneficial bird was painted on the bow of the ship. The scale and quantity of the ship have never been seen since ancient times. Wang Jun was building a ship in Shu. The pieces of wood he cut floated all over the river and floated down the river. Wu Jianping's prefect Wu Yan took some pieces of wood and presented them to SUN Hao, saying, "Jin must have plans to attack Wu. We should increase troops in Jianping to defend. If Jianping can't attack, Jin's army will not dare to go east." SUN Hao didn't listen. At that time, there was a nursery rhyme in the state of Wu: "a Tong Fu a tong, carrying a knife to float across the river, not afraid of the beasts on the shore, but afraid of the dragon in the water." And Wang Jun's little character is "a Tong", which is exactly in line with the nursery rhyme, so Emperor Wu of Jin paid homage to Wang Jun's general Longxiang and supervised Liang Yizhu's military affairs.

At that time, the ministers of the central court talked about remonstrance to Wu. Wang Jun told the emperor Shangshu: "the ministers visited Wu and Chu many times to study the situation. SUN Hao was obscene and violent. No matter he was virtuous or stupid in Jingyang area, he didn't have resentment. Observing the current situation, he should attack Wu as soon as possible. Without cutting today, the situation will change unpredictably. If SUN Hao dies suddenly, the people of Wu will be more virtuous, civil and military will have their own merits, and the people will make the best use of their talents, then the state of Wu will become our strong enemy. Moreover, it has been seven years since Chen built the ship, and the ship is getting rotten and damaged. In addition, Chen is 70 years old, and his death is approaching. If the above three things fail, it will be more difficult to defeat Wu. I sincerely hope your majesty will not lose the opportunity. " Emperor Wu agreed with Wang Jun in his heart.

Jia Chong and Xun Xu advised that Wu should not be attacked. Only Zhang Huajian advised Emperor Wu to do so, and Du Yu asked him to do so from Jingzhou. Then Emperor Wu issued an edict to deploy troops to attack Wu. Wang Jun then led the Navy. The baby boys Wang Jun had saved in Bajun are now at the age of serving as corvee. Their parents exhort their son to join the army and say, "it's the king's life. You should be diligent and work hard. Don't be greedy and afraid of death."

Defeat Sun Wu

In November of 279, the fifth year of Xianning (the first month of 280, the first year of Taikang in the book of Jin, biography of Wang Jun), Wang Jun led the army of water and land down the river from Chengdu, crossed Qutang gorge and Wuxia gorge, and entered near Zigui. Wang Jun led Badong Jianjun and Guangwu general Tang bin to defeat Wu Danyang (now Southeast of Zigui, Hubei Province) and capture Wu Danyang Jiansheng Ji. Then he went down the river and entered Xiling Gorge, where he met the iron lock set by Wu Jun and the iron cone hidden in the river. After Yang Hu captured Wu's spies, Wang Jun built dozens of large rafts, each of which was more than a hundred paces in size. The rafts were made into grass men, who were held by Jia and ordered the good water soldiers to take the rafts first. The iron cones stabbed into the rafts and were taken by the rafts. Then he made a torch, which was more than ten feet long and dozens of yards wide. He filled it with sesame oil and put it in front of the ship. When he met the iron lock, he lit the torch and melted the iron lock. Then the warship passed without obstruction.

On the third day of February in the first year of Taikang (280), he conquered the Xiling mausoleum and captured Wu Zhennan's general Liuxian, the general Zhengnan's general Chengzheng and Yu Zhong, the prefect of Yidu. On the fifth day of junior high school, he conquered Jingmen and Yidao and captured Lu Yan. On the eighth day of the lunar new year, he captured Lu Jing, the governor of the water army, and Shi Hong, the general of Pingxi, surrendered. On the 18th, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty issued an imperial edict to Wang Jun as general Pingdong, governor Feijie and commander Yiliang.

Wang Jun sent his troops from Shu. They were invincible. The Wu army in Xiakou and Wuchang had no one to falter and resist. SUN Hao sent Zhang Xiang, a guerrilla general, and ten thousand soldiers of the navy to resist Wang Jun. Zhang Xiang saw the banner of the Jin army and surrendered. SUN Hao and others heard that Wang Jun's army's flag armour covered the river and was extremely powerful, so they had the courage to break the soul. So he adopted the plan of Xue Ying, Guanglu Xun, and Hu Chong, who was ordered by Zhongshu. He handed Wang Jun a form of surrender and said, "SUN Hao, Wu Jun, kowtows to you for death. In the past, Hanshi was out of control and Kyushu was divided. My ancestors took the opportunity to occupy Jiangnan, so they confronted Wei guaili by relying on the dangerous mountains and rivers. When the great Jin Dynasty was founded, virtue was spread all over the world, and the foolish and despicable people secretly settled in a corner, not knowing the fate of heaven. As for the six armies that are bothering you today, they are far away from the river. The people of Wu were shocked by the whole country, and those who survived for a while still wanted to climb up to the Heavenly Kingdom and get the grace of magnanimity. I'd like to send Zhang Kui and others, who are private officers, to present the seal and ribbon they wear, and commit themselves to punishment. "

On March 15, the first year of Taikang (280), Wang Jun entered the stone city. SUN Hao was preparing for the ceremony of national subjugation. He drove a suche and a white horse, bared his body, tied his hands, and took Bi to lead the sheep. The doctor was dressed in mourning clothes, and the scholars carried the coffin, leading 21 people, including the pseudo Prince Sun Jin and Sun Jin's younger brother sun Qian, King Lu, to the front of the barracks. Wang Jun personally unties SUN Hao, accepts Yubi, burns the coffin, and sends SUN Hao to Luoyang. Wang Jun collected the books and books of the eastern Wu Dynasty, sealed the Treasury, and had nothing private in the army. Emperor Wu of Jin sent envoys to comfort Wang Junjun.

Plead in writing

At the beginning, Emperor Wu of Jin issued an imperial edict to make Wang Jun be dispatched by Du Yu after he conquered Jianping and Wang Hun after moling. Du Yu went to Jiangling and said to the generals, "if Wang Jun can conquer Jianping, he can drive eastward along the current, and his prestige is so prominent that he should not be restricted by me. If we can't capture Jianping, there's no reason to dispatch him. " When Wang Jun arrived at Xiling, Du Yu wrote to him and said, "if you can destroy the barrier in the west of Wu, you can go straight to moling to attack the escaped bandits who have been suffering for many generations, and save the people of Wu. Then from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River, across the Surabaya River and bianshui River, up the Yellow River, the whole army is still in the capital. This is a grand event never seen in the world Wang Jun was overjoyed and presented Du Yu's letter to Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty.

When Wang Jun was about to arrive at moling, Wang Hun sent an emissary to order him to stop and go to his own army to discuss things. Wang Jun opened his sails and drove straight ahead. He told Wang Hun, "the wind is strong and the ship can't stop." Wang Hun had defeated SUN Hao and killed Zhang Ti and others for a long time, but he didn't dare to move forward. Wang Jun accepted SUN Hao's surrender by taking advantage of the victory. Wang Hun was ashamed and angry, so he told the court that Wang Jun had violated the rule
