Sun Jian. The reason why Sun Ce and his son were able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong for a long time is that in addition to relying on the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, there is also a powerful clan power behind them. Sun Quan During the reign of Sun Quan, other relatives of the Sun family also participated in the construction of Jiangdong. They not only held important positions within the Wu regime, but even led their troops to fight north. Today, let’s take a look at the five dazzling cousins of Emperor Sun Quan, Wu.
Sun Jing is the younger brother of Changsha prefect Sun Jian. As Sun Quan's uncle, Sun Jing is also a famous general in Jiangdong. Sun Jing's third son, Sun Jiao, was the captain of the Jiangdong Guardian Army, and he and Sun Quan were cousins. The Battle of Red Cliffs , Sun Jiao replaced the Eastern Wu general Cheng Pu to guard Jiangxia. Sun Jiao is easy to make money and is very famous in Jiangdong. On the eve of the Battle of Jingzhou, Sun Jiao was ordered by Sun Quan and assisted Lu Meng to handle military affairs. Because he treated people peacefully, the whole country was very loyal to him.
Sun Jiao and the Eastern Wu general Ganning had a small anger, and the two had a dispute because of this. After Sun Quan heard the news, he sent envoys to accuse Sun Jiao. Sun Jiao was ashamed that he lived in harmony with Gan Ning in the later period. Because of the reconciliation between the two generals, the Eastern Wu border defense forces became united, and even the Wei generals guarding Hefei did not dare to go south easily.
Sun Jiao's second brother is Sun Yu, and he is also a famous general in Eastern Wu. Unlike Sun Jiao, Sun Yu acts cautiously and does not like to show off. On the eve of the Battle of Hefei, Sun Yu advised Sun Quan to send troops cautiously, because he had been guarding Danmen for many years and knew the geographical advantage of Hefei, so he tried his best to persuade Sun Quan to stop attacking. However, Sun Quan was stubborn and eventually refused Sun Yu's request. Ruxukou In the battle, Jiangdong soldiers suffered heavy losses, and Sun Quan was almost killed. After moving to the army, Sun Quan remembered Sun Yu's advice before going to the expedition, so he directly promoted him to General Fenwei.
Sun Yu is a famous general in Jiangdong who is both civil and military. During the war, he even took time to learn military tactics, but although this man was talented, he still died young. If Sun Yu had not died earlier, he might have directly replaced the position of Lusu , , in the future, in charge of Jiangdong. Such a famous general who takes both civil and military affairs only lived to be thirty-nine years old. It is a pity.
Sun Huan is Sun Jiao’s fourth brother and Sun Quan’s cousin. Sun Huan made no contribution in his early years, and only after Sun Jiao passed away did he have the opportunity to make his mark. Because Sun Huan is dull and stubborn, he is never favored by Sun Quan. However, although Sun Huan is stubborn, he is well versed in military tactics. When Sun Quan became the queen, Sun Huan kept guarding Jiangxia. He once led his army to fight north, and once captured Shiyang, the important town of Wei, and threatened Fancheng. Because of this battle, Sun Quan also looked at his cousin with admiration. Later, Sun Huan guarded the northern part of Wu for a long time and died at the age of forty.
When Sun Jian first started his army, his twin brother Sun Qiang provided assets to him. Later, Sun Jian went north to participate in the fight against Dong Dajun, and Sun Qiang's son, Sun Ben, also participated. Sun Ben is the cousin of the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and this person has the talent to assist. After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ben escorted his coffin all the way back to Jiangdong. Because of this reason, the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan also trusted this cousin very much.
Sun Ben made important contributions to the Sun family's foothold in Jiangdong, especially the rise of the little overlord Sun Ce, which is inseparable from Sun Ben's support. When Sun Ce eliminated various warlords from Jiangdong, Sun Ben also led his disciples to participate. He was responsible for providing food and supplies to Sun Ce and made many contributions. After Sun Ce also led Jiangdong, Sun Ben was named the prefect of Yuzhang . In 219 AD, Sun Ben died of illness at Yuzhang's responsibility.
In addition to Sun Ben, Sun Yu, etc., Sun Quan also has a cousin named Zhenjiangdong, which is Sunhe . Sun He is a branch of the Sun family and is Sun Jian’s nephew. When Sun Jian raised his army, Sun He served him. Sun He is Sun Jian’s younger brother’s confidant. When Sun Jian fought against the enemy in previous battles, Sun He also participated in the decision-making. When Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong, Sun He assisted Sun Ce in defeating Kuaiji. Later, he captured the bandit leader Li Shu alive and became the prefect of Lujiang.
Sun He made great contributions to the Sun family's establishment in Jiangdong. This person is good at fighting, no less than Gan Ning, the most powerful general of the Eastern Wu. After Sun He's death, his son Sun Huan inherited his title. Sun Huan followed the will of his father and led his army to resist foreign humiliation many times. Liu Bei When he invaded Jingzhou , it was precisely because Sun Huan tried his best to block it in front that he won the opportunity for Dongwu.
