  • February 280: Wang Hun was a general of the Jin dynasty, who launched a military campaign in mid February 280 to conquer territories previously held by the Wu kingdom. Xunyang, Gaowang, and Laixiang were strategic locations that fell under Jin control during this campaign.
  • April 280: Wang Jun's 80,000 strong army reached Niuzhu.
  • May 280: In 279, Jin forces led by Du Yu, Wang Jun and others attacked Wu from six directions. Sun Hao attempted to put up resistance by sending his armies to fight the Jin invaders, but the Wu forces suffered several consecutive defeats and even the Wu chancellor, Zhang Ti, was killed in action. Seeing that Wu was doomed to fall, Sun Hao surrendered to the Jin dynasty on 31 May 280, marking the end of Wu and the end of the Three Kingdoms period.
