Three Kingdoms, the two countries are written - although only at the level of the palaces of the two countries.

There is another country, which is Sun Wu.

Sun Wu was in the territory of the ancient Wu Kingdom, and in the end, the Sun family father and son dominated this place, and the history was called Sun Wu.

Sun's father is Sun Jian, who is a warlord in Jiangdong.

Sun Jian (155 - February 18, 191), Ziwentai, a native of Fuchun County, Wu County (now Fuyang County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province), was a warlord general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

History books say that he "has an extraordinary appearance, a broad personality, and a curiosity", and in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Jian is called the Jiangdong Tiger.

In the first year of Zhongping (184), he joined the battle against the Yellow Turban Rebels, and later raised troops to defeat Dong Zhuo.

In April of the second year of Chuping (191), Sun Jian conquered Liu Biao's Jingzhou under the order of Yuan Shu, Huang Zu was defeated and fled to the Daxian Mountains, where Sun Jian pursued him.

Huang Zu's ambush soldiers fired arrows from the bamboo forest, Sun Jian was hit by an arrow, ** died against the current, Chinese New Year's Eve at the age of thirty and seven.

According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Jian was a descendant of the military strategist Sun Wu, and his son and grandson were called emperors and posthumously named Emperor Wulie.

Heroic.

…… ……

Behind the man, there is a woman. Behind Sun Jian is his wife Wu.

Mrs. Sun Poyu Wu (?) ——202), a native of Wu County, Wu County (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), was the wife of Sun Jian, and was the biological mother of Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

In the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is called Mrs. Sun Poyu Wu.

Mrs. Wu's hometown was the administrative office of Wu County (equivalent to the capital) and the largest city in Jiangdong, Wu County (present-day Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and her birth year is unknown.

There is no description of Mrs. Wu's name and her ancestors in the official histories such as the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and only a glimpse or two can be glimpsed in the wild history or the genealogy of the surname Wu, but the accuracy is questionable.

According to the "Jiangyin Wu Tongzong Yuanliu Examination", Mrs. Wu is a direct descendant of Ji Zha, the fourth son of Shoumeng, the first king of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Ji Zha's descendants were supposed to have the surname Ji, but after the state of Wu was destroyed by the Yue Kingdom, they changed their surname to the country name "Wu".

Although Ji Za twice abdicated the throne of Wu and went into exile, his descendants multiplied and developed, and most of the genealogies of the various branches surnamed Wu were said to be from Ji Za, and Mrs. Wu was not included.

Mrs. Wu's grandfather is Wu Yuncheng, a direct descendant of Ji Zha, her father is Wu Xuan, she has a younger brother named Wu Jing, and an older brother and sister who are not recorded in the official history, the elder brother is called Wu Xiongqing, and the younger sister is Wu Guotai, who married Sun Jian with Mrs. Wu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Wu and his wife died prematurely, the eldest son Wu Xiongqing inherited the family business, and the second son Wu Jing took his sister (Mrs. Wu) and sister (Wu Guotai) to move south to Qiantang County (now west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province) under the jurisdiction of Wu County, and the three lived together and depended on each other.

Although it is recorded in the official history that Mrs. Wu and her younger brother Wu Jing moved to Qiantang, there is no record that she also has an older brother and younger sister, nor does it record that her younger sister married Sun Jian with her.

Later, Sun Jian heard that Mrs. Wu was both talented and good-looking, and wanted to marry her.

Mrs. Wu's relatives disliked Sun Jian, believing that Sun Jian was frivolous and cunning, and was about to refuse Sun Jian's request, and Sun Jian felt very ashamed and regretful.

Mrs. Wu knew that Sun Jian was not easy to mess with, so she said to her relatives, "Why do you want to cause trouble for the sake of cherishing my little woman?" If he (referring to Sun Jian) treats me badly, it is also my destiny. ”

So in this way, Mrs. Wu married Sun Jian.

Mrs. Wu gave birth to four sons and one daughter for Sun Jian: Sun Ce was born in the fourth year of Xiping (175 AD); In the fifth year of Guanghe (182), he gave birth to the second son; In the seventh year of Guanghe or the first year of Zhongping (184), he gave birth to three grandsons and grandsons; Later, he gave birth to a young child, Sun Kuang (year of birth unknown); She also gave birth to a daughter, most likely Mrs. Sun, who later married Liu Bei.

Inferred from the time she grew up Sun Tzu Ce, she and Sun Jian would marry no later than 175.

…… ……

Sun Jian, who was then the Taishou of Changsha County (located in present-day Changsha City, Hunan Province), raised troops in response to the Kwantung Coalition Army that was attacking Dong Zhuo, and moved his family to Shu County, Lujiang County (southwest of present-day Lujiang County, Anhui Province), accompanied by Mrs. Wu's mother and son.

Sun Ce met Zhou Yu in Shu County and became a lifelong confidant.

…… ……

In 191, Sun Jian was killed by Liu Biao's subordinate Huang Zu for attacking Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, and the eldest son Sun Ce inherited his father's business.

Sun Ce's uncle, Wu Jing, the younger brother of Mrs. Wu, was the Taishou of Danyang County (Wanling County, now Xuancheng City, Anhui Province), but he did not arrive and stayed in Qu'a County, Wu County (now Danyang City, Jiangsu Province), so Sun Ce sent someone to take his mother to Qu'a to meet his uncle in a boat, and also buried his father Sun Jian temporarily in Qu'a.

Later, in the course of Sun Ce's conquest of various parts of Jiangdong, Mrs. Wu moved from Qu'a to Liyang County (present-day Hexian County, Anhui Province) and then to Fuling County (near present-day Quanjiao County, Anhui Province).

After Sun Ce conquered Wu County (Wu County, present-day Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) and Huiji County (located in Shanyin County, present-day Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province), Sun Ce stationed in Wu County, Wu County, the central city of Jiangdong (present-day Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and Mrs. Wu returned to her hometown.

In 200, Sun Ce was assassinated, and Mrs. Wu assisted the young Sun Quan.

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Mrs. Wu died. Before dying, he summoned Zhang Zhao, Dong Xi and others to entrust the future.

After the death of Mrs. Wu, she was buried with her husband Sun Jian, and the joint burial tomb of the two was located in Qingyangdi, outside Panmen, Suzhou, commonly known as "Sun Wang's Tomb", Sun Quan said that the emperor changed the "tomb" to "Mausoleum", called "Gaoling".

And the tomb of Sun Ce, the eldest lady of Mrs. Wu, is also nearby, commonly known as "General Sun's Tomb".

On the 13th day of April in the summer of the eighth year of Huangwu (May 23, 229 AD), Sun Quan established himself as the emperor, established the state of Wu, and posthumously honored his father Sun Jian as Emperor Wulie, and at the same time posthumously honored his mother Mrs. Wu as Empress Wulie.

…… ……

Mrs. Wu is both talented and beautiful, resolute and resolute, full of wisdom and strategy, and has assisted her two sons to govern Jiangdong.

According to the "Huiji Dictionary", Sun Ce's meritorious Cao Wei Teng was reprimanded for violating Sun Ce's ideas, and Sun Ce even wanted to kill him.

The scholars were worried and frightened, but they couldn't think of a way to save Wei Teng.

When Mrs. Wu found out, she called Sun Ce, and she leaned against a large well, and said, "You have just conquered Jiangnan and have not yet succeeded completely, so you should treat the Magi with courtesy, forget their mistakes, and hire them according to their merits." Wei Teng Yu Gong is not wrong, if you kill him, everyone will betray you in the future. ”

Finally she said, "Son, if you don't listen to me, I'll kill myself by throwing myself into a well, so that I don't see what will happen to you in the future." ”

Sun Ce was so shocked that he had to let Wei Teng go.

The little old lady has wisdom and scheming, right?

…… ……

After the young Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's inheritance, Mrs. Wu assisted Sun Quan in governing military affairs and continued to play an active role, which helped greatly to consolidate the rule of Sun's father and son in Jiangdong.

According to the "Jiangbiao Biography", in the year of Mrs. Wu's death (the seventh year of Jian'an, that is, in 202 AD), Cao Cao's soldiers, who had defeated Yuan Shao, wrote a letter to Sun Quan, asking him to send his son to Xuxian (now Xuchang City, Henan Province), the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as a hostage.

Sun Quan convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but the ministers hesitated. Sun Quan didn't want to send his son as a hostage, so he and Zhou Yu met Mrs. Wu to make a decision. Zhou Yu insisted that he could not give hostages, and stated his interests to Mrs. Tai and Sun Quan.

Mrs. Wu also thought that Zhou Yu was right, and because Zhou Yu was the same age as her dead eldest Sun Ce, Sun Quan treated Zhou Yu as a brother, and finally decided not to give hostages.

…… ……

There are two anecdotal allusions about Mrs. Wu:

The "Sou Shen Ji" compiled by Gan Bao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded the legend of Mrs. Wu's pregnancy Sun Ce and Sun Quan:

When Mrs. Wu was pregnant for the first time, she dreamed that the moon entered her belly, so she gave birth to Sun Ce.

When she was pregnant for the second time, she dreamed that the sun entered her belly and gave birth to Sun Quan.

She told her husband Sun Jian about her dream, and Sun Jian was very happy, saying, "The sun and the moon are the essence of yin and yang, and they are extremely noble symbols, how prosperous my children and grandchildren are!"

…… ……

According to the "Jiangbiao Biography", Sun Ce arrested Yu Ji, a Taoist priest who was preaching and practicing medicine, at the end of his reign in Jiangdong and Wu County, and tried to kill him.

Many people sympathized with Yu Ji, and they asked the women to visit Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, and ask her to save Yu Ji.

Mrs. Wu said to Sun Ce that Yu Ji was also treating the soldiers to help Sun Ce's army, and he could not be killed.

But Sun Ce didn't listen, and finally Yu Ji was killed.

This incident was later written into the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong, and it was deified, becoming one of the important causes of death of Sun Ce in the Romance.
