Although Wu Kui's Taoyue League had been defeated by Zhu Queqing and had no power to fight back, Wu Dang, the leader of Taoyuan League, was very unhappy when he heard of it. In order to weaken the strength of the Jiangzuo League, the Taoyuan League captured the rebels entrenched in Bashu, and then slowly sent the main force to the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, and also began to send troops around Liuzhou controlled by the Jiangzuo League. After Zhu Queqing heard it, he didn't say anything. He just smiled and then personally led 80,000 troops to garrison the Xiangjiang area.
In March 203, Wu Kaijin prepared for the military parade again near Liuzhou. But when night fell, they were attacked by a group of men.
The next day, Wu Kaijin led his army to the city of Liuzhou. Said to go into the city to see.
The guard refused to let go, and retorted: "We are all regular troops, how can we do such a depraved thing. And there is no resentment between us. And we all enforce a curfew, and even the prefect can't come and go at will, let alone the army. ?"
Seeing that the negotiation failed, Wu Kaijin immediately drew his sword, directed the army to attack, and ordered the construction vehicles that had long been hidden in the woods to attack.
It turned out that the team was Wu Kaijin's own army. This is just to put the blame on the Jiang Zuo League, and use this as a reason to launch a crusade against the Jiang Zuo League.
In this way, although the main force of 100,000 troops led by Wu Kaijin attacked suddenly, it still took three days to capture Liuzhou with 5,000 defenders, which is known as the Liuzhou Incident or the March Incident. Although Liuzhou fell, it gave the Jiangzuo League troops three days to mobilize, slowing down the Taoyuan League's offensive momentum.
On March 21, Jiangzuo League officially declared war on Taoyuan League. Although the Jiangzuo League had relatively few troops, it had repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the Taoyuan League due to its familiarity with the southeastern hills.
On April 23, Wu Kaijin underestimated the enemy and led 40,000 people to attack Baise. After hearing about it, Zhu Qihang, the defender of the Jiangzuo League, immediately led the army and civilians to withdraw from Baise and to Sitang County in order to avoid his edge.
On April 25, Wu Kaijin occupied Baise, but what he got was nothing but an empty city.
Wu Kaijin was very angry and immediately led 20,000 people to attack Sitang. But Jiang Zuomeng used the terrain to repel them.
On May 1, after the Nanning defenders arrived in Sitang County, Sun Ke, the prefect, went over mountains and mountains, passed through Baila and led 20,000 people to raid Yongle Town, and occupied it on the same day, cutting off Wu Kaijin's retreat.
After Wu Kaijin heard about it, he laughed and praised arrogantly:
To use tens of thousands of barbarian troops to suppress our 40,000 imperial forests is simply beyond our capabilities. After that, he went back to the general's camp to rest.
Seeing that Wu Kaijin was fooled, Sun Ke organized an army to gradually attack the cities and counties around Baise, cutting off Wu Kaijin's waterway.
On May 20, Wu Kaijin's food and grass were about to run out, and at the same time, Xiahou Qi also led 8,000 light cavalry to defeat the 20,000 reinforcements who came to rescue. Wu Kaijin wanted to flee in the dark, but was defeated by Sun Ke's ambush and returned to the city.
On June 3, the leader of the Taoyuan League, Wu Dang, ordered the army to withdraw from Liuzhou to Kunming. Wu Kaijin was very frightened after hearing this, and quickly led his army to break through the siege north. After Sun Ke heard this, he sneered: "Do you still want to run at this time? It's too late!" After taking a sip of rice wine, Sun Ke gave the order to the messenger beside him: "Wu Kaijin must pass through Yongle Town when he flees north, and let the guards in Yongle Town take care of him. The army vows to defend Yongle, even if there is only one person left! Wait for the three towns to encircle and suppress Wu Kaijin! If it falls, let the prefect come to see me with his head!"
"Yes!"
Sure enough, Wu Kaijin had to pass through this town to go north. After Wu Kaijin arrived, he ordered his soldiers to attack. If they failed, they would continue, and if they failed, they would continue to attack. Seeing that it was a matter of time before the attack was over, the prefect sent someone to the northern city of Lingyun for help, but there was no reply.
On June 18, Wu Kaijin couldn't bear the impatience and personally went to the front to command the flag. At this time, Wu Kaijin's army finally reached the city wall by taking a ladder.
Suddenly, a group of troops came from behind Wu Kaijin, and Wu Kaijin's soldiers made a mess.
"Reinforcements are here, kill the soldiers quickly!" Inspired by the prefect, the defenders in the city rushed to the outer city wall again. Under the attack from both sides, Wu Kaijin's 40,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and he himself was captured.
In this way, the Taoyuan League's vitality was greatly damaged. The Jiangyou League also attacked the Taoyuan League on the grounds that the Taoyuan League had invaded the Jiangzuo League.
On October 19, with the capture of Chengdu, the Taoyuan League formally surrendered to the two leagues and ceased to exist.
On December 3, Jiang Zuo League saw that there were no strong opponents in the south, so it led the remaining 10 small alliances to merge with Jiang You League, and designated the capital of the alliance as Jianye, and named the leader of Jiang Zuo League as the king of Changsha. . In this regard, the South was basically unified, and Jiangdong also began to prosper and develop...,
