After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was divided among three groups of forces, namely the State of Wei, the State of Shu (Han), and the State of Wu. The formation of this situation can be said to have gone through several years of war and chaos, countless heroes Haojie died on the battlefield, and it should be called a victor in the end. Looking at the founders of the three states, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, in the rendition, the main description of the struggle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and Sun Quan and even the entire Eastern Wu are almost all passers-by, perhaps The Eastern Wu under Sun Quan's rule has indeed dragged down the excitement of this chaotic world.
Compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Sun Quan is indeed a lot younger, can mix with these two characters in the same era, and is indeed a capable person, but this is also thanks to the convenient conditions left by his father and brother. Cao Cao once commented that "having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", but can the historical Sun Quan really match such an evaluation? Today Xiaobian will talk about Sun Quan as a person, and look at the role of this beam-jumping clown.
Young Sun Quan
Everyone knows that when Sun Quan and Cao Cao Liu Bei were together, he was only a junior, and at the beginning of the great chaos in the world, it was his father Sun Jian who first joined the chaotic world. According to Sun Jian's biography, he was a descendant of Sun Wu, although it was not impossible, but this should be the act of putting gold on his face, after all, having a good origin was also a very useful thing at that time. Later, Sun Jian led his men to join Zhu Juan's team and strengthened his own power by conquering the Yellow Turban Army.

After Zhu Juan was not in a position, Sun Resolutely decided to hold another thigh, he was Yuan Shu. At the behest of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and later went to Jingzhou with Liu Biao. However, Sun Jian's luck was not very good, during the siege of the city, Sun Jian was unfortunately shot by random arrows, and he also died. Later, Sun Ce replaced Sun Jian's seat, of course, Sun Jian did not have any seats to speak of, only a few loyal generals.
Sun Ce is still a character, riding on Yuan Shu did not pay attention, ran back to Jiangdong with the old team left by Sun Jian, and established a not small force, but unfortunately Sun Ce's luck is not very good, because there are too many people who have offended, and Sun Ce also died. In 200 AD, Sun Quan, who was only 19 years old, took the throne, if Sun Ce's children were not too young, Sun Quan would not have been able to pick up this bargain, and if he really had Sun Ce's brother in his heart, he should return the seat to Sun Ce's descendants, it seems that the rights are still more attractive.

After Sun Jian ascended to the throne, it was also thanks to the loyalty of a group of Jiangdong's old ministers to Sun Clan that he retained his position, and Zhou Yu did not mean to embarrass Sun Quan because his relationship with Sun Jian was very ironclad. Regarding Sun Quan's ability to lead troops, the historical evaluation is not bad, but Sun Quan's actual ability really does not dare to compliment. From 203 to 208 AD, Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia many times, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to barely avenge his father's revenge.
The establishment of the Sun-Liu Alliance
In 208 AD, Cao Cao quelled most of the fighting in the north and instead began to move south, which frightened Sun Quan, and in the record, Jiangdong Nei was divided into two factions, one agreed to surrender, and the other was ready to fight to the death, if Sun Quan really had an idea, this phenomenon would not have occurred. Later, under the comfort of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, Sun Quan made up his mind to face the battle, and also decided to unite with Liu Bei, who had been beaten at this time.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - when Cao Gongxin was prominent, the situation was very strong, and all the deliberators were afraid of the wind and persuaded the power to meet it.
In the face of Cao Cao's army, Sun Liu allied with the enemy, and regarding the commander of the coalition army, some people thought it was Zhou Yu, and some people thought it was Liu Bei, anyway, it was not Sun Quan. After Cao Cao's retreat, the situation in the world had basically been determined, and in order to make Sun Liu's alliance more consolidated, Sun Quan agreed to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Bei to administer, and also married his sister to Liu Bei. This decision was not wrong at the time, but it was not a good idea, and it was completely helpless to control Liu Bei.
Regarding Sun Quan's appearance, in addition to looking like a foreigner, Sun Quan also has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, his legs are short and his body is long, and Zhang Liao and Liu Bei have mentioned this. At that time, this was a vision, although it was feudal superstition at work, but the people at that time were still convinced, and Sun Quan was naturally like this. Liu Bei's problem was temporarily solved, and Later Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Wei's weak needs to launch the Northern Expedition, but the effect was very tragic.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - went to Guangling with Zhang Liao to discuss Sun Quan. Linjiang, with strong winds at night, Wu drifted Lü Fan and other ships to the north shore.
Sun Quan has a nickname called Sun Shiwan, although there is an exaggerated component, but the fact is similar, Sun Quan's ability to fight is indeed unbearable to gamble. In the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Sun Quan experienced the biggest fiasco in his life, and he was also very humiliated, when Zhang Liao led the Hundred Men to kill in Sun Quan's army, and Sun Quan could only hide in the corner and shiver in the face of Zhang Liao's challenge. Perhaps after Cao Cao knew about it, he may have already repented of saying the words "when you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou".
The State of Wu in the Three Kingdoms
Because Liu Bei gained power, Sun Quan's eyes were red, so he started the idea of Jingzhou, although it was a perfectly normal thing to deceive himself during the war, but this could not forget the fact that Sun Quan betrayed his allies. Taking advantage of Guan Yu's siege of Xiangfan, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to sneak up on Jingzhou and behead Guan Yu. Later, Sun Quan's behavior more reflected the character of a villain, because he was afraid of Liu Bei's retaliation, Sun Quan admitted his mistake to Liu Bei on the one hand, and on the other hand, he flattered Cao Pi, and Sun Quan was thus crowned as the King of Wu by Cao Pi.
After repelling Liu Bei's attack, Sun Quan's attitude toward Cao Wei immediately changed, from the previous grievances to the active attack. However, at Sun Quan's level, the war launched by Eastern Wu against Cao Wei did not achieve much, and it could even be said that it was all in vain. During this period, Sun Quan was blackmailed by Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, not once, perhaps Sun Quan had a little ability before, but now Sun Quan is absolutely faint.
Sun Quan's eldest son was Sun Deng, but unfortunately he died early, and Sun Quan handled the matter of the crown prince at all improperly, because of his wrong operation, Eastern Wu also broke out the dispute between the two palaces. When Cao Wei and Shu Han were fighting for the world, Eastern Wu could only stage some harem dramas. In 251 AD, Sun Quan died of illness at the age of seventy-one, and he was the longest-lived ruler of the Three Kingdoms period, which may have something to do with having no heart and no lungs.
