The Song conquest of the Later Shu was a war between the Northern Song dynasty and its southwestern neighbor, the Later Shu dynasty from 964 to 965. Despite natural barriers, the Later Shu defense proved extremely incompetent, and the Later Shu emperor Meng Chang surrendered within 70 days of the Northern Song invasion.
