Sun Quan, whose name is Zhongmou, a native of Fuchun, Wu County, the founder of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms Era, was born in the fifth year of Guanghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (182) and died in the first year of Shenfeng (252), his father is Sun Jian, and his brother is Sun Ce.

In history, Sun Quan lived seventy-one years old, reigned for twenty-one years, and actually became a prince for fifty-three years, he was the longest-lived ruler of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, and also the prince who held power for the longest time, even if it was the second Liu Chan and Cao Cao as princes, they only had thirty or forty years.

【Before taking power】

When Sun Quan was young, the world was already in turmoil, and things such as the Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and the princes' invasion of Dong happened one after another, so he himself moved many times with his mother Mrs. Wu, and after Sun Jian's death, the whole family moved to Jiangdu County, Guangling County.

Sun Quan's elder brother Sun Ce defected to Yuan after the incident, and was afraid that Tao Qian would implicate his family because of his discord with Yuan Shu, so he sent Zhu Zhi to take them to Sun Quan's uncle Wu Jing, who lived in Qu'a, and later Sun Quan, Hu Zong, Zhu Ran and others studied in Wu County. After Sun Ce pacified the Jiangdong counties, he made Sun Quan, who was only fifteen years old, the magistrate of Yangxian County, and only three years later sent Sun Quan to send troops to attack Chen Deng stationed in Kuangqi City, but although Sun Quan occupied the absolute advantage of the army, he still failed to achieve victory.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Sun Ce was seriously injured and died, and before his death, Sun Quan took over his throne and asked Zhang Zhao to assist him.

【Before becoming emperor】

At the beginning of Sun Quan's reign, with the help of Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu and others, he slowly gained a firm foothold and stabilized the internal and external situation, and then Sun Quan inherited the last wishes of his father Sun Jian and his brother Sun Ce, and sent troops to attack Jiangxia Huangzu three times, trying to capture Jingzhou, during which he got the general Gan Ning, and finally captured many places in Jiangxia County in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), defeated Huang Zu, and killed him.

The thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) was a turbulent year, just after Sun Quan defeated Huang Zu, Cao Cao led his troops southward in an attempt to occupy Jingzhou before Sun Quan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao also happened to die at this time, at the suggestion of Lu Su, Sun Quan temporarily gave up the idea of seizing Jingzhou, but instead prepared to unite Jingzhou against Cao Cao, but unfortunately Lu Su has not yet arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Biao's successor Liu Cong has surrendered to Cao Cao, Jingzhou fell, Sun Quan's forces suddenly faced Cao Cao's two sides, and even a difficult situation of being caught on three sides.

Lu Su, who failed to unite Jingzhou, did not give up, and continued to win over Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, at that time, the main battle faction and the main surrender faction in Jiangdong were also quarreling very fiercely, and finally Sun Quan was persuaded by Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang and others, and decided to fight against Cao Liu. In the same year, Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, almost annihilating his naval army, Sun then Zhou Yu and Lu Su and others continued to attack Jiangling along the river, Sun Quan also took the opportunity to make the first northern expedition to Hefei, but unfortunately failed. Later, Zhou Yu died, and Sun Quan lent Jiangling and other places to Liu Bei under the persuasion of Lu Su.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Sun Quan sent Buqi to assassinate the history of Jiaozhou, waved his army to the south, and captured Jiaozhou.

After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao and Sun Quan launched a tug-of-war in the Jianghuai area for many years, from the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) to the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), of which in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) and the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan made two northern expeditions to attack Hefei, and in the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213) and the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao led the army to the south twice to crusade against Sun Quan, and finally in the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Sun Quan sent envoys to sue for peace, and the two sides temporarily stopped the tug-of-war.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Liu Bei succeeded in taking Shu, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to return Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not give, Sun Quan was furious and sent Lü Meng to seize Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling three counties, Sun Quan and Liu Bei almost turned against each other, in the same year Cao Cao crusaded against Hanzhong, Liu Bei was afraid, so the two sides demarcated and divided in Xiangshui.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei's Jingzhou guard Guan Yu launched the battle of Xiangfan, which was like a bamboo in the early stage, flooded the Seventh Army, and forced the landing of Cao Cao's general, Sun Quan did not want Liu Bei to become bigger, so he turned to unite with Cao Cao. Sent Lü Meng and others to attack Jingzhou and capture Guan Yu, Jingzhou was occupied by Sun Quan, and the Sun-Liu alliance was temporarily dissolved.

After offending Liu Bei, Sun Quan was afraid of being attacked by Cao Wei and Shu Han on both sides, so he actively wooed Cao Pi and promised proton as a hostage, and in the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi became independent on behalf of Han and established the Wei Dynasty. In November of this year (222), Cao Pi sent someone to crown Sun Quan as the king of Wu.

After the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was defeated and lost, and Shu Han could no longer threaten Jiangdong, so Sun Quan's attitude towards Cao Pi began to change, and Cao Pi also realized that he was played by Sun Quan, and was greatly annoyed, after which Cao Wei and Sun Wu broke up again.

In the first year of Huangwu (222), Cao Pi divided his troops into three routes and launched a large-scale southern expedition, Sun Wu had to fight with all his strength, and finally forced back Cao Wei's army. After breaking with Cao Pi, Sun Quan reunited with Shu Han, and the two sides sent envoys to play with each other, once again forming allies against Cao Wei.

In the fifth year of Huangwu (226), Sun Quan heard that Cao Pi had died of illness, and took the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, but returned without restraint. In the same year, Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie died, and the Shi family made a rebellion in Jiaozhou, which was pacified by Lu Dai.

In the seventh year of Huangwu (228), Wu State Poyang Taishou Zhou Yi deceived Cao Xiu to lure him out, and Sun Quan ordered Lu Xundu, the governor of Dadu, to lead the generals to defeat Cao Xiu in Shiting.

【After becoming emperor】

In the first year of Huanglong (229), Sun Quan officially ascended the throne as emperor in Wuchang, and the founding name was Wu, and the Sun-Wu Dynasty was formally established. Later, Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, but left Lu Xun and others in Wuchang, and let Lu Xun rule Jingzhou and the neighboring three counties.

After Sun Quan became emperor, he was recognized by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and Shu Han and Eastern Wu became allies, and discussed jointly eliminating Cao Wei and dividing the world. At that time, Gongsun Yuan was on the throne in Liaodong, he and Sun Quan had close contacts, so he was sent by Cao Rui to crusade, Gongsun Yuan sent an envoy to Sun Quan for help in fear, Sun Quan took the opportunity to take Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan, forcing him to break with Cao Rui completely, Gongsun Yuan betrayed Sun Quan instead, killed his messenger, annexed his troops, and sued Cao Rui for peace, Sun Quan almost died of anger because of this matter, and later Zhang Zhao made a disgraced face.

After Sun Quan became emperor, he attacked Hefei three times in the second year of Huanglong (230), the second year of Jiahe (233) and the third year of Jiahe (234), but they were all unsuccessful. In the third year of Chiwu (241), Sun Quan sent Wei general Quan Cong, Weibei general Zhuge Ke, and chariot general Zhu Ran to attack Cao Wei in three ways, but returned in vain.

In the same year, Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu, died, and the following year Sun Quan took Sun He as the crown prince and Sun Ba as the king of Lu, and the dispute between the two palaces broke out, which implicated almost all the ministers in the court, and even Prime Minister Lu Xun was angry because of this matter. In the thirteenth year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan abolished Sun He, gave Sun Ba to death, and re-established Sun Liang as the crown prince in November of the same year, and the dispute between the two palaces ended.

In the winter and November of the first year of Taiyuan (251), Sun Quan fell ill after going to the southern suburbs to worship heaven and earth, and in December of that year, Sun Quan urgently summoned the general Zhuge Ke to enter the court and entrust the future.

In the summer and April of the first year of Shenfeng (252), Sun Quan died of illness, called the Great Emperor, the temple name Taizu, and was buried in Jiang Ling.
