Sun Jian was a super fierce general with great prestige at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, known as the "Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong", and even Lü Bu was defeated by Sun Jian's sword, and Dong Zhuo was also very afraid of him; although Sun Jian was a descendant of the military master Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sun family was already only a small family, and it was far from being comparable to a large family like the Yuan family.
Therefore, although Sun Jian fought bravely and made great achievements in battle, he was still only the Taishou of Changsha and the Marquis of Wucheng; after the defeat of Dong Dong, he could only attach himself to Yuan Shu and became a sharp knife of Yuan Shu; later, when attacking Liu Biao of Jingzhou, he was assassinated by Huang Zu, a general under Liu Biao, and the Sun family fell.
Sun Jian had five sons, the eldest son Sun Ce Yongwu strategy was even better than Blue; Sun Ce succumbed to Yuan Shu in order to inherit the legacy of his father Sun Jian, and in 195 AD, Sun Ce obtained Yuan Shu's permission to prepare to cross the Yangtze River in the east, attack Fan Neng and Yu Mi at Hengjiang, and attack Zhang Ying at Danglikou.
Sun Ce came to Qu'a and used Qu'a as a base to fight a decisive battle with Liu Sui of Yangzhou, where he defeated Liu Sui. In 196 AD, Sun Ce led an army to attack Wang Lang and Yan Baihu of Wu County; in 197 AD, Yuan Shu became empress dowager, and Sun Ce broke with Yuan Shu.
In the summer of 197, Cao Cao issued an edict to Sun Ce, asking Sun Ce to fight against Yuan Shu, appoint him as a knight lieutenant, attack his father Wucheng Marquis, and concurrently serve as huijian taishou, Cao Cao played Xu Imperial Court to appoint Ce as a rebellious general, and was given the title of Marquis of Wu, and later unified Jiangdong. Sun Ce was a general, with wisdom and courage, and a heroic posture, and his administration of the army was strict and orderly, and the military discipline was strict.
In April 200, just as Sun Ce was preparing to send an army north, he was wounded by the Assassins during the Dantu hunt and died shortly after, at the age of twenty-six. His younger brother Sun Quan took over Sun Ce's forces and posthumously honored Sun Ce as the Huan King of Changsha.
It is reasonable to say that Sun Ce, as the founder of the Eastern Wu regime, was posthumously crowned emperor; moreover, Sun Quan was also quite jealous of the son left by Sun Ce, and under Sun Quan's arrangement, Sun Shao was not good at military superiority over etiquette; in 222, when Sun Quan was the king of Wu, Sun Shao was ordered to formulate the imperial ceremony according to the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
When Sun Quan ascended the throne as emperor, Sun Shao was given the titles of Marquis of Wu and Marquis of Shangyu, and after his death, his descendants were given the title of knight. The brother entrusted the foundation to Sun Quan as much as possible, but Sun Quan repaid it in this way, and he did not know how Sun Cequan would feel, and how to inherit the title of King of Changsha was not exaggerated.
Looking at Sun Jian's third son, Sun Yi, Sun Quan and Sun Yi were recommended by Zhu Zhi as filial piety together, and Cao Cao treated them with courtesy. When Sun Ce was dying, Zhang Zhao and other ministers nominated a third brother Sun Yi who was similar to Sun Ce, but sun Ce refused; but this matter was also firmly remembered by Sun Quan.
Later, he was appointed by Sun Quan as the Taishou of Danyang, and the official was a general; unexpectedly, when he was in office, he was killed by the assassin Bian Hong, who was bribed by his subordinates Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan, and afterwards Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan pushed the blame for killing Sun Yi to Bian Hong and killed him, but Danyang's soldiers all determined that the culprits were Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan.
Knowing that Sun Quan was close to him, Concubine Yan and Dai Yuan simply killed Sun He, a major minister of the clan who had come to inspect him, in order to sacrifice Danyang County to Cao Cao's subordinate Liu Fu. Concubine Lan entered the General's Mansion again, plundered Sun Yi's concubines, and persecuted Xu Shi.
Xu Shi (Sun Yi's wife) knew that Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan were the murderers of her husband, so she pretended to appease Concubine Lan and secretly plotted with Sun Yi's close associates Dai Yuan and Sun Gao to successfully kill Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan, and sacrifice their head to Sun Yi's tomb. After Sun Quan returned to Wu, he did his best to curse concubines and Dai relics. But no matter how you look at it, it looks like a conspiracy.
Sun Jian's fourth son was named Sun Kuang, and Cao Cao was fighting with Yuan Shao at that time, which Jiangdong was unable to reach, and wanted to win over and contain Sun Ce's forces. So he married his brother's daughter to Sun Ce's fourth brother Sun Kuang, and issued a conscription order for Sun Ce's younger brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi to go to Xu Capital. Unexpectedly, Sun Kuang died when he was twenty years old.
Sun Jian's fifth son was named Sun Lang, and in 222 AD, Cao Xiu sent an army to Dongkou, and Lü Fan led an army to resist. At that time, Dingwu Zhonglang ordered the fire to burn Mao Mang. He should have been executed according to military law, but because of his status as a patriarch, he was handed over to Sun Quan by Lü Fan. Sun Quan divided his family into the Ding clan and was imprisoned for life. Perhaps the Dingwu Zhonglang general at that time was Sun Lang.
Liu Bei does not seem to have any brothers and sisters; but Cao Pi, who was also the founding emperor, seems to be much better than Sun Quan in this regard for his relatives, and several of his brothers were almost all crowned kings, such as Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, and even the younger brother Cao Chong was also posthumously honored as King Deng Ai.
