How did Sun Qian die
In historical materials, there are very few introductions to Sun Qian. It is only possible to understand a rough idea, and there are few records about the specific method of Sun Qian's death.
Most of the characters of the Three Kingdoms are known through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Qian's birth and death are not recorded, only the part of Sun Qian's experience with Liu Bei. In other canonical or wild histories, it may be said that Sun Qian died of illness at the end. Because there is not much information about Sun Qian's "method of death", there will be a lot of speculation about him by posterity.
First of all, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Qian was the first to follow Liu Bei, and it turned out to be Tao Qian's subordinate, because Tao Qian's defeat in the battle with Cao Cao not only caused Xuzhou to be destroyed, but also made Tao Qian's health worse and worse, and at the end of his death, Tao Qian thought of giving up his official position in Xuzhou to Liu Bei, not only that, but also recommended his right-hand man, Sun Qian, to Liu Bei, and called Sun Qian "this person from Beihai, surnamed Sun Qian, the name Qian, the character Gongyou." Suitable for doing the work you are engaged in. After that, Sun Qian began to follow Liu Bei to the world.
Facts have proved that Sun Qian is not only suitable for the work he "engaged in", but at the same time, when Liu Bei's personnel were lacking in the early days, he was also able to go to the battlefield to fight, stick to the city gate, and handle internal affairs in the literary aspect. After Liu Bei's defeat against Cao Cao, he wanted to be with Yuan Shao and share a share of the benefits, although at that time, this task of "saying peace" was very heavy, but Sun Qian still completed it well. After that, he was also reused by Liu Bei, and called Sun Qian a "great general of Bingzhong", and Sun Qian's treatment was only second only to Lu Zhu.
After that, there is very little mention of Sun Qian's information, so there are also different aspects of Sun Qian's death, some say that Sun Qian died of illness, some say that Sun Qian was killed by the enemy because he lost the battle, and so on. However, the official account now is that Sun Qian died of illness.
