The Conquest of Wu or the Battle of Wu Territory (呉郡の戦い, rōmaji: Gogun no Tatakai) is a series of conflicts in which Sun Ce claims the Wu lands for his family. He quickly dominates over the regional lords and his new power allows him to declare independence from Yuan Shu. His accomplishments set the foundations for the kingdom his brother would found.

In the games, this is when Sun Ce usually first duels Taishi Ci and gains him as an ally. Historically, it happened during a somewhat different time in Jiangdong but the moment is often consolidated into this battle.

Role in Games[]

Dynasty Warriors[]

In Dynasty Warriors 3, Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang are stationed in different regions. If Liu Yao is killed without Taishi Ci being defeated beforehand, Sun Ce's rival will join the Little Conqueror. In Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends, the battle serves as Meng Huo's fifth stage. Zhuge Liang shuts one of the gates to his camp, forcing the Nanman to fight Lu Xun. After defeating Lu Xun, Taishi Ci ambushed the tribesmen and Zhuge Liang makes his getaway.

In Dynasty Warriors 4, the first battle between Sun Ce and Taishi Ci takes place in a dark rainy sky. After demolishing the Shen Di Bridge, Taishi Ci remains in place, halting the advance to the central stronghold, Shen Di Castle. The player's army advances eastward through Niu Zhu Fortress, where enemy officer Yu Mi attempts to retreat. However, Jiang Qin infiltrates the fortress, allowing their allies to storm in. If Taishi Ci is defeated, he is given the choice to join Sun Ce. In Musou Mode, if Taishi Ci is unlocked, Zhang Yi will take his place, while in Free Mode, Taishi Ci can face himself in a mirror fight. In Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends, Da Qiao must escort Sun Ce to safety while repelling ambushes of Xu Gong loyalists.

In Dynasty Warriors 6, this stage is the same map as the Campaign against Yuan Shu for Liu Bei. The goal is to defeat all enemy officers. After a while, Yuan Shu is blinded by the Imperial Seal and interrupts the battle, angry that people were fighting over his land. This makes it so that Wang Lang, Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, and Yuan Shu face the Wu. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei arrive to defeat the tyrannical Yuan Shu as allies of Wu. This leads to a victory and the reconquer of Wu for the Sun family.

In Dynasty Warriors 7, the battle is known as Wujun. Part one deals with the initial planning of the invasion with Zhou Yu capturing necessary bases in the south. Part two deals with the capture of the territory and shows Taishi Ci's defection after the battle is over.

In Dynasty Warriors 8, the battle starts with the Sun army splitting up. Huang Gai leads the veteran warriors to attack the supply depot to the east while Sun Ce leads the assault west. Facing relatively small resistance, Huang Gai takes the supply depot, and convinces Dong Xi to defect, and he reveals an unguarded path to Liu Yao. On Sun Ce's front, he begins defeating officers, forcing Taishi Ci to leave his post to engage the enemy. When he is defeated the first time, he retreats to Moling castle, and defeating him a second time causes Liu Yao to lose complete trust over the general, and the general decides to retreat on his own. At the end of the battle, Taishi Ci gathers up the remaining men of Liu Yao, and formally surrenders to the Sun family. If Sun Jian is rescued at Xiangyang, he will help assist his family's attack. In the Allied Forces' side of the battle, Taishi Ci will immediately attempt to save the supply depot, but Huang Gai takes it almost immediately, causing Dong Xi to defect. Now, Taishi Ci must not only protect Moling Castle, but also make sure that Huang Gai's assault unit doesn't defeat Liu Yao's unit. Once both assault units are defeated, Sun Ce orders a charge, and must be defeated to win the battle.

The area is also reused as the "Battle of Dongxing" in Jin's story.

During the Xtreme Legends expansion, the stage appears in Lu Bu's hypothetical route, where he attempts to defeat Yuan Shu for control over the central plains. Starting out from the northeast, he meets little resistance from the residential Yuan Shu's forces, who quickly lead Lu Bu's men to an ambush. After defeating them, and advancing to Moling castle, Chen Gong predicts a pincer attack, and urges Lu Bu to search out the castle, while the strategist advances north to trigger the enemy's pincer attack. If Han Dang is found and defeated, the pincer attack will fail, and the enemy will be taken by surprise. After defeating the ambush unit, Lu Bu's forces continue to push south, and encounter Sun Ce for the first time. After defeating the conqueror, Lu Bu advances east to attack Yuan Shu, but is impeded by Chen Lan's siege weapons. Once Lu Bu forces arrive at Yuan Shu's camp, Sun Ce reappears, and defeating both him and Yuan Shu ends the battle. In Yuan Shu's side of the battle, Zhou Yu orders the allied army to lure the enemy to the ambush point, but to also keep them from going into Moling castle to prevent Han Dang from being spotted. Doing so causes a successful pincer attack which forces Chen Gong to retreat back to his lord. After that, defeating Lu Bu will end the battle.

The area is used for Wang Yun and Cai Yong's nobility tournament between the Cao, Sun and Yuan clans. The first challenge is a display of might, where each clan is asked to defeat some officers the quickest. The second challenge soon follows, and this time, the clans must escort transport units to starving peasants. If the Yuan clan wins, both Cao Cao and Sun Jian declare that the result is unsatisfactory, and bring in their own children, causing Yuan Shao to do the same. Defeating both Cao Cao and Sun Jian will cause Dong Zhuo to appear with his adoptive son and granddaughter. Defeating Dong Zhuo will finally end the tournament in Yuan Shao's victory.

Warriors Orochi[]

In Shu's story mode, Zhao Yun arrives at Nan Zhong to save the Shu army's boat. They encounter Yuan Shao, who is trapped by Zhuge Liang's ambushes. If the player spots the ambushes before saving Yuan Shao, Zhuge Liang praises the player. In Warriors Orochi 2, Lu Xun, Sakon Shima, and Jiang Wei defeat their mentors, while Kanetsugu defends the alliance camp.
